1890 King of Southeast Asia

"This is impossible!" Cyril slammed the table, stood up, and looked at Lin Anmin.

"Sir, don't get excited, let's talk, look at you, why are you so anxious?" Lin Anmin stood up and advised with a puzzled look.

"Hu~~ Sorry, Your Excellency, I lost my temper." Cyril took a few breaths, then closed his eyes and lowered his head, and sat down after speaking.

"But, Your Excellency, forgive me for being blunt, don't you think your country's request is too much?" Cyril sat on the chair, reorganized himself, and cheered up.

"Sir, you know, war has corresponding risks. This is your war. If there is not enough explanation, given the current war situation, Congress will not pass the declaration of war proposal." Lin Anmin said slowly without panic.

"Hong Kong, colonial negotiations, leased territory negotiations, tariff negotiations, trade negotiations, all of these can be discussed. As long as the Huaxia Empire declares war on Germany, the British Empire can accept unconditional return."

"But the British Empire cannot meet the demands made by your country."

Cyril stared at Lin Anmin seriously, and it was obvious that he was a little angry.

"But what the lord said, even if the Huaxia Empire does not join this war, these rights can be recovered."

"These were originally the rights of the Huaxia Empire, but they were sold out during the reign of the Qing Empire. The Huaxia Empire is not the Qing Empire. We will eventually get back what we have lost."

"But we are not unreasonable people, so we acquiesce that all of this is included in the negotiations as part of the conditions, but not as all the conditions."

"Otherwise, we are equivalent to participating in a war that has nothing to do with us and has no gains. The people will not agree, the government will not agree, and His Majesty will not agree."

After Lin Anmin finished speaking, he looked at Cyril quietly.

"The collections in the British Museum can be discussed, but the collections in the Palace of Versailles are the business of the French. I am also willing to help the Chinese Empire negotiate with the French."

"However, the finances of the British Empire have been very bad due to the war, and we cannot pay the full cost of the Chinese Empire's military operations."

Cyril sighed and gave in.

Britain has already put half of its wealth into the war. Once the Allies fail in the war on the six continents, a unified European continent will emerge, which is a situation that Britain is trying to avoid.

A unified or united Europe is completely unacceptable to Britain, which is on the edge of Europe. This means that Britain will face the threat directly.

For this reason, the British did not hesitate to launch seven anti-French wars.

And after the French, the Germans also showed signs of sweeping across Europe. If the British had not sent millions of troops to France, the Germans should have conquered most of the French army.

According to the experience of the British during the Napoleonic era, after the emergence of a unified Europe, the power of the European continent will spread to the ocean. If Germany defeats France, then the situation of the Napoleonic era will reappear.

And this time it will be worse. In the Napoleonic era, Prussia, Austria, the Kingdom of Sardinia, Tsarist Russia and others were all allies of Britain. This time, once France is defeated, Britain's only ally is Tsarist Russia, which is in danger of losing itself.

Can Britain still count on the Sunset Empire Spain to defeat the Germans? Don't be kidding, Spain can't even beat the United States and China.

Therefore, Britain cannot lose this war, and dare not lose, otherwise, Britain will face the threat of the Germans, and its power will become smaller and smaller because it has lost Europe.

It is because of this that Liu Ming proposed some conditions that the British are unwilling to agree to, but do not hurt Britain's fundamentals.

For example, trade orders, technology transfer, tariff negotiations, disputed territorial negotiations, as well as returning collections and being responsible for military expenditures.

For the British, these are all tangible benefits, but they do not involve Britain's core interests. However, it would be painful to agree to them.

Of course, there is also the division of post-war benefits. Liu Yiming estimates that China will be able to get German Cameroon or German Southwest Africa through the huge debts owed to the Allied Powers.

Even without calculating the future war costs, by the end of the war, the accumulated amount that Britain and France cannot cash will reach 10 billion. With such a large amount of money here, Britain and France will have no way to say no to China.

However, at this time, the British did not think so much. They just deceived themselves and thought about transferring the debt to the defeated country.

"Dear Sir Cyril, if that's the case, I want to know what we can get from this war with an uncertain future."

"You know, our people are now keen on production, and they are not particularly willing to interfere in European affairs, or rather, we don't want to interfere with anyone."

"Your Majesty and the Prime Minister have always been pushing for the process of joining the Allied Powers. We were almost successful before the Royal Navy's casualties were reported."

Lin Anmin did not seem to be any lighter because of Cyril's softening. He spoke very sharply and bluntly.

"What does China want? If the war is won, China will get many benefits, including acceptance from the civilized world. People should not be too greedy."

Cyril put away his weak appearance just now, and even said arrogantly.

"Again, if the Chinese Empire sends troops in the future, all military expenses will be paid by Britain and France. After all, we are here to fight for you."

"As for the demand, we don't have much demand, and we can even ensure that except after the war distribution, no demands on any territory. This can be written on the written document and I can sign it."

Lin Anmin laughed and directly blocked the ideas of the British selling other people's interests.

If you have enough energy, of course, the larger the territory, the better, but the South China Empire has just reorganized into the Huaxia Empire. It is unreasonable and there is no time to take care of more.

It has been two years since the empire. Under the preparation of grass -roots construction in advance, the overall government affairs of the Huaxia Empire have just been streamlined. This is because the economic situation is good, covering up most of the contradictions.

In a short period of time, eating new territories and no energy development, there is no need to use precious opportunities in this aspect.

"At the same time, the British Empire maintains the British army and the Russian army. It is also responsible for the French supply and military expenses, and cannot afford the cost of Huaxia." Silil still shook his head.

Cultural relics, of course, do not want to pay back. This is the merit of the British Empire and a brilliant past.

Moreover, what will be explained by the return of cultural relics, Silil can't imagine that the Britain launched an over -righteous war?

However, compared to the substantial military expenses, these things are small problems ...

"Can you use the cultural relics of the Huaxia Collection to offset military expenses? What you know, those are exquisite artworks, the treasures of human culture, all of which are priceless treasures."

"In normal times, the British Empire Museum will not sell collections to the outside world. This is a good opportunity."

"In this way, we also have a reason to return the collection to your country. You are also famous and can explain to the public. What do you think?"

Surreal suddenly brightened in front of him, smiled, and said easily, as if he was joking.

Lin Anmin believes that if he really believes that Siril nods joking at this time, then Silil will definitely write this as a formal condition to the treaty and mark a high price of cultural relics.

In this way, even if Huaxia agrees with this plan, she can't return a few truly valuable cultural relics.

The price of hype, the country that the British capitalist is very proficient, and the later generations are basically the rest of the people. At most, it is modified by modernization.

Regardless of other, is there a essential difference between the luxury speculation of non -gold and silver jewelry and the tulip scam?

"In fact, the military expenditure proposal is the idea of ​​Congress and the government, and the issue of cultural relics is the proposal of my country's His Majesty."

"You know, the government's bureaucracy and parliamentarians are all practicalists."

Lin Anmin shook his head with a smile and threw the pot to Liu Yiming.

"Jazz, you have to understand that we don't actually need to participate in this war. At least so far, the Germans have not threatened us."

"Instead, because the Germans launched a war, our country's defense pressure in the north decreased sharply. The Germans invited us to participate in the attack on the Russians and promised all the territory west of Ural Eza."

"However, our Majesty believes that the British's approach can maintain world order more. We don't want the world to become chaotic, and we hope that the world is in order, so we are more interested in the cooperation country."

Lin Anmin turned to threaten. You didn't give it to me. I could not hang it on one tree in the UK. After the Germans won, they would give me.

Of course, Liu 1 Ming will not join the Alliance camp, because it is not good for Huaxia.

What can Germany win Huaxia? India? What can Liu 1 Ming take it? The population does not mean that it can be used. The British extensive use method is not meaningful for Liu Yiming, and it is necessary to invest a lot of energy.

"Fortunately, Huaxia is in the civilized world. Yes, the collapse of order represents the death of countless people. Only the wild ambitions such as the Germans will try to destroy the order."

Silil's 1 face praised.

"But about military expenditure issues, I don't think London will not agree. London has no extra financial support, so I think I can change to one way."

"London provides a part of military expenses, and the rest is responsible for the Huaxia Empire. Of course, we will not let the civilized world pay for it."

"After the victory of the war, the Huaxia Empire should be compensated, such as supplies, war compensation, and territory in terms of interest distribution."

Silil started to draw big cakes again. Of course, it was not not a big cake, or gave 1 substantial interest:

"London may need to pay for this part of military expenditure. As a mortgage, Britain will build a railway that runs through Persia and Afghanistan. I think this railway is enough as a mortgage."
