Wild North America 1846

more than a month later
The British special envoy, Marquis François Bowman, took the letter from the new prime minister, Henry John Temple, and once again found the prime minister of the Tang Empire, Duke Liu Xianjun, in an attempt to exert pressure to let 67 Chinese military officers and their families who served in British Canada leave. Hardship, rebirth.

Unexpectedly, this time I ate a small soft nail and returned to nothing.

Along with the straight-up increase in the strength of the Tang Empire, there have been changes in foreign policy, and it is no longer solely dependent on the United Kingdom.

Instead, it became more confident and independent. The Tang Empire successively developed friendly bilateral relations with France, Prussia, Tsarist Russia, Italy, Ottoman, Belgium, and Austria-Hungary, presenting a diversified diplomatic situation.

Just over half a year

The Tang Empire’s diplomatic stance has become more and more diverse, such as naval equipment, breech-loading artillery, trigger fuze and yellow high-explosive patent technology licensing, United States of America (North) creditor’s rights arrangement, elimination of transatlantic tariff barriers (including South America China and the North American Common Market) and a series of issues have adopted a reasonable and restrained attitude, neither looking up unilaterally nor underestimating themselves, but dealing with them in an equal partnership.

The Britons show their bosses again, and the Tang Empire no longer accepts this kind of thing. Whether you want to negotiate a trade treaty or a patent authorization, you have to come up with something or a price.

Gone are the days when it was impossible to enjoy benefits in vain.

The British side obviously did not adapt to this new change. Before the fall of the short-lived cabinet of the last Conservative Party Lord Edward-Smith-Stanley, Tang and Britain had hardly reached any substantive agreement. Their slow action greatly shocked the British business community. Dissatisfaction was also one of the reasons for the downfall of the Conservative Party cabinet.

In exchange, he was replaced by Henry John Temple, the difficult role that caused the Emperor Richard of the Tang Dynasty a headache. Prime Minister, Queen Victoria appointed him to form a cabinet. From June 1862, 6, a new government was established. A Liberal government.

This is also the result of internal struggles in London's political situation. In the end, Lord Temple, who advocated large-scale overseas expansion and colonization, and firmly defended the interests of the British Empire, had the last laugh.

have to say
This guy's reputation in London is really high. He has ups and downs like a phoenix in the political arena. In the past 20 years, he has held important positions in the cabinet or served as the prime minister. This is in line with his tough skills, which is very in line with the British taste. Inseparable.

After counting, the new cabinet has been in office for more than two months.

Prime Minister Henry John Temple also knew that he was not liked by Emperor Richard of the Tang Dynasty. During his previous term as prime minister, he wrote 31 personal letters to the Emperor of Tang, but only received 6 replies. All add up to less than 200 words.

Therefore, Prime Minister Henry John Temple specially wrote a letter to negotiate with Prime Minister Liu Xianjun for the sake of 67 Chinese officers, trying to open a breakthrough point from him.

Who knew, they were also shut down.

The Prime Minister of the Tang Empire, Liu Xianjun, has clearly told the British special envoy, Marquis François Bowman, that His Majesty the Emperor was very angry when he planted dissidents in the imperial army this time, and the military chiefs were deeply dissatisfied. This serious impact will last for a while. Difficult to eliminate.

The empire has already issued a solemn note to Fusang, North Korea, and Vietnam, ordering their heads of state to make a solemn apology, strictly restrain the behavior of the citizens, and bear all the serious consequences arising therefrom.

As the most vicious state of Fusang, the empire has already issued a serious warning and threatened with force, handing over the Amami Islands to the Kingdom of Ryukyu within three months, and declaring that the Kingdom of Fusang shall not invade the Kingdom of Ryukyu, a subsidiary state of the Tang Empire.

Otherwise; "Thousands of miles of sea and land can be crossed in ten months, when the steam and armored army will arrive, and you will be destroyed in a snap of your fingers. This is the most serious warning. I hope the whole country of Japan will not make mistakes!"

The harshness of the wording has never been seen before, and it is enough to deter the gang of Japanese pirates.

In 1693, the Satsuma clan forced the northern Amami Islands to be ceded to Japan. It has been 169 years since then, and a large number of Fuso people have immigrated to the island, with a number of up to 61.

But the Tang Empire didn't care about this matter, and directly ordered it to spit it out, so as to teach the Fusang country a harsh lesson.

If you don't listen to the greeting, you'll beat me up!The attitude is so domineering.

The remaining United States of America has been beaten to the ground. At that time, the two countries were in a hostile situation, and it was not a big deal to plant nails in each other. The Tang Empire did the same.

Now that the thunder has exploded, the attitude of the United States of America (Northern) to admit defeat is still very good, saying that after going back, they will investigate the secret files in detail, and immediately remove the hidden stakes that may still exist, so as to give the Datang Empire an explanation.

It is enough to have this, there is no need to force the opponent to death.

integrated down
It is more difficult for the British to place these 67 officers and their families. In essence, the two are allies. If the British arrange their officers to study in various military academies of the Tang Empire, or even serve in the army, there will be no problem.

The bad thing is that they did it secretly, and it was exposed in the end.

This undoubtedly caused great damage to the mutual trust among allies. The Tang Empire really wants to ask, what exactly do you want to do?
Prime Minister Henry John Temple also bears some responsibility for this.Such a large-scale dispatch of spies, and they were dispatched to the allies' armies, it is impossible for him, as the foreign minister and later the prime minister, to know that he may be one of the masterminds behind the scenes.

Writing a handwritten letter just wants to take everyone away, it's purely a fart.

"Your Excellency has miscalculated. Since 1862, Britain's various policies in North America have encountered frequent resistance. The possibility of reaching an agreement acceptable to both parties is very slim. Maybe we should re-examine the policy towards Tang." British envoy Marquis François-Bowman squeezed his brows with a deep headache, and said slowly; "Damn it, everything is terrible. I'm tired of this kind of character who runs around and spreads word."

Rear Admiral Richard Harold St. Maurer, Commander of the Royal Navy Fleet in Canada, and Prince Felipe of the Kingdom of Italy looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders together, and made expressions full of regret.

Just listen to this, don't take it seriously.

Even a small mayor or county sheriff who is an aristocrat in the upper class of the United Kingdom who is involved in politics will not give up easily, let alone this kind of special envoy who sends the colony to represent the voice of the suzerain country, which is very lucrative.

nothing else
The governor of Canada has to prepare at least 3 to 5 pounds, and wherever he goes, local high-ranking officials and dignitaries will welcome and send him off, and Cheng Yi is merciless.

If you go around the North American continent and don't get £30 or £[-] to go back, it's nothing.If it is an eventful time, it is not uncommon to double your earnings.If you get some shares in the oil company, you will really lie down and eat for a lifetime.

This kind of lucrative and powerful official business, whoever is stupid will let go.

The special envoy looked embarrassed inside and out, but was poked into the essence by a sentence in the inside; that is, to change the current policy.

In other words, the special envoy feels very embarrassed, not whether to suggest London to change its policy towards the Tang Empire, but how to suggest that London accept the advice of the special minister and actively adjust its policy towards the Tang Dynasty to adapt to the Tang Dynasty The status quo of the rapid rise of the kingdom.

Is this a default position?
The European aristocrats had frequent contacts. These three were old friends. They were sitting in the gazebo of the manor enjoying afternoon tea leisurely. The topic naturally began to talk about the series of waves caused by the "Lieutenant Incident".

"It's quite reasonable when you think about it. The Tang Kingdom is now qualified to sit at the poker table, just like the unified Italian kingdom. London can't just think about taking something from us, but should think about what to exchange for it?" Prince Felipe took a sip of the tea cup gracefully, and continued to speak with emotion;
"From the perspective of the Kingdom of Italy, it feels more comfortable and equal to deal with the Tang Kingdom. No matter the bilateral reciprocal economic and trade treaties, or business, education or military exchanges, they all reflect the principle of mutual benefit.

We can learn the experience of industrial development and military struggle from the Tang Kingdom, and the Tang Kingdom can learn architecture, art and modern fashion taste from Italy, we can provide martinis and high-quality handmade leather shoes, and they can export canned food Serve some food.

Whenever we want more, we have to give some more.

You see... this is an equal and mutually beneficial transaction, which is beneficial to everyone, not a unilateral request. "

"Britain has also done a good job, and the education of the British Empire is the existence that the whole world looks up to. There is no equal exchange with Tang. General Fan Pengfei of the Tang Army once studied at the Royal Sanchester Military Academy. The victory of the North American War is not No credit for British education?"

"A little bit, but not much."

"Wow...then I would like to hear His Excellency's novel insights."

"Among the 10 first-class ministers awarded by the Tang Dynasty, only Admiral Fan Pengfei has received short-term advanced studies for four and a half months. I haven't learned anything in such a short period of time. I'm afraid there will be a question mark?" Prince Felipe said, although Being unknown in history, submerged among countless nobles and ministers in modern European history, does not mean that his personal ability is weak.

For the European nobles of this era, mastering 3 to 4 foreign languages ​​is the basic start. There are many people who can use more than 10 foreign languages ​​proficiently. It is not surprising at all. Can such nobles be called stupid?

Take Prince Felipe as an example. He is a descendant of the King of Sardinia. He is familiar with Latin, Italian, Spanish, French and English, and has a little knowledge of Arabic and Russian. Now he is planning to live in the Tang Empire. He studied Chinese for two years and served as the first ambassador of the Kingdom of Italy to Tang Dynasty.

As a fair treatment of diplomatic etiquette, the Kingdom of Tang will send its princes to travel to Europe, and the first ambassador to the Kingdom of Italy will be His Royal Highness Tang-Li Yuan (Elder Prince), Duke of Hawaii.

Of course, this is only a ceremonial duty, and the specific affairs must be handled by experienced diplomatic personnel of the embassy.

Prince Felipe is also a quick-witted and eloquent person. He drank two sips of tea, ate another plum cookie, swallowed the food in his mouth gracefully, and then continued;

"Throughout history, more than [-]% of the glory of the British Empire is the miracle created by the fleet of the Royal Navy, which dominates the world, and the British army was able to destroy cities and villages in overseas colonies, and was almost invincible.

Among them, the performance of the British Army is greatly inferior, and there is almost nothing commendable record.

The British lost the American War of Independence in which France intervened. In the five consecutive anti-French alliances at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, they were defeated without exception.

The French Emperor Napoleon led an army of 65 to try to conquer Tsarist Russia, but he was defeated and lost. Only 27000 remnants fled back to Paris.

under these circumstances
Britain organized the 6th Anti-French Coalition, and fought with Tsarist Russia, Prussia, Norway, and Austria in rounds against France, and finally won the war after losing first and then winning.

In the European battlefield, the British Army has almost never won a victory by itself. Even in the world-wide colonial wars, it often took the French together, such as the first and second Opium Wars.

The recent Crimean War was also in a similar situation. The Ottoman army was at the forefront, and the British, French, Tang and Sardinian allied forces focused on attacking the Sevastopol fortress. It took more than two years to gnaw this hard bone.

The British fought in the first Anglo-Burmese War and the first Anglo-Afghanistan War. Both failed. With such an unbearable record, what reason is there to say that it is very strong?
What else can be taught to the generals of the Tang Kingdom?

Without the blessing of the Royal Navy, which dominates the world, Britain would still be the British Isles hanging on the European side, rather than the glorious British Empire.

Therefore, more than [-]% of the current glory of the British Empire belongs to the Royal Fleet.And the British Army really has nothing to show off. "

As soon as Prince Felipe finished speaking, Rear Admiral St. Maurer applauded and said with a smile; "The British Army with their eyes above the top should be heard, they are no longer using the oil of the Royal Navy twice a day Man, it's frustrating that this is still going on."

"Mr. Major General, do you also agree with the government to re-examine the Tang policy?"

"The Royal Navy has no special expectations for this. We just want to get the damn technology authorization as soon as possible. The sooner the better, as for the way to achieve the goal, that is the government's business."

The Marquis of François-Bowman revealed a little bit of the details of the negotiations, and said; "OK, the quid pro quo proposed by the Tang Empire is to give the Canadian people the full right to choose, instead of just choosing to join the Canadian Confederation. Consider the Tang Empire in the south or the establishment of a separate country.

This shows that after they won the North American War, their confidence grew and they had ambitions for the Northern Territory.

Now, a large number of Chinese immigrants have entered the northern province of British Columbia and Yukon, with a total of 5.2 people, twice the population of the above two provinces.

The social structure is also fully Chinese, which is a very worrying trend! "

Rear Admiral St. Maurer shook his head and said; "The Royal Navy can only express regret, and there is nothing they can do. After winning the final victory in the war, the London government changed hands and gave the East Indies to the Dutch royal family to reward the Dutch for their previous counterattacks. A firm position in the French League." Major General Saint-Maurer paused intentionally, shook his head and sighed with deep regret; "For the East Indies, we have fought with the Dutch for more than 160 years, and in the end Downing Street has a big hand. What can the Royal Navy say if you give it away with a wave?"

Marquis François-Bowman's eyes sparkled when he heard these words. He already knew how to reply to London. First of all, he must draw in the powerful alliance of the Royal Navy, and then show his strength to the cabinet.

As for success or failure, it is not something he can control, anyway, he tried his best.
