Chapter 1354 The world is all about strength (first update, please subscribe)
"Who would have thought that the fate of the world would be decided by a syphilis patient!"

What, if anything, was the most absurd scene in the last decade of the 19th century?I'm afraid this is the scene, but... who would have thought that the cunning spirochete virus would affect a person's judgment?

In the palace on the outskirts of Constantinople, cigar smoke filled the room. Randolph Churchill, as the negotiator of the British side, looked at the opposite Robanov, the foreign minister of the Roman Empire, and his mood seemed a little bit The annoyance was not because the other party refused to recognize Persia as the British sphere of influence at the beginning of the negotiation, but because this guy was as annoying as all Russians.

"It is clear to all of us that they are the enemies of the civilized world, and it is the responsibility of each of our Christian nations to destroy them, to destroy them, not to condone them, under the aegis of Persia, over the past few decades, those People attacked the borders of the Roman Empire again and again, and thousands of Roman soldiers died because of this, Mr. Special Envoy, the current actions of the Roman Empire in Persia are based entirely on the safety of the empire!"

Robanov once again emphasized the legitimacy of Rome's sending troops. In fact, at the beginning, when he heard the news that the Caucasian governor sent troops to Persia, he was also worried about the British's resistance, but His Majesty the Tsar and the senior officials of the central government thought that This is an opportunity, an opportunity for Rome to reach out to Persia, as for Britain's attitude.

"Britain is a weak empire. They are no longer as strong as they were decades ago. In the face of the "Alliance of Four Emperors", they are simply vulnerable."

Indeed, Britain is weak, and a Boer War made them lose face!
Of course, it also allowed the Roman Empire to see the weakness of Britain, saw opportunities, and found confidence.

England... is but a crippled giant.

They are nothing without the Navy!

Although the British decision to send a fleet made Constantinople a little nervous, but after obtaining a lot of information related to it, they were not so nervous because... the British were bluffing.

"What we are discussing now is the sphere of influence of the United Kingdom. Your Excellency, the interests of the United Kingdom must be respected. You must understand one thing-the world does not belong to you, nor is it what you want to occupy. The world... I It's for the good of the world!"

Taking a deep breath, Randolph Churchill calmed himself down a bit, and said.

"The interests of the world need to be coordinated. On the Persian issue, we can coordinate a plan that is acceptable to our two countries and can maintain lasting peace..."

Before he could finish speaking, Robanov interrupted him.

"What? Sustained peace? My God, are you a threat of war? A threat of war against the Roman Empire?"

what?
Churchill was taken aback by Robanov's reaction, and he said immediately.

"Is this a threat of war? No, Your Excellency, this is a concession from the British Empire. I have come here with sincerity, just to discuss with you about peace between us, and we can even accept a certain amount on the Persian issue." But what about you? You have no will for peace at all, do you really think the British Empire is weak and deceitful?"

Perhaps because of too much excitement, Randolph's prematurely aging face was trembling, and his hands were trembling, and he was even excited by the other party's disregard for the British Empire.

"We allowed you to start your colonies in Indo-Ocean, we even tolerated it, and is this your reward for our kindness?"

What is the so-called tolerance?
It was the British who tolerated the "New Moscow" colony opened by the Roman Empire in Juno Bay on the east coast of Africa, which is later known as Djibouti. They got the colony from France, but in the eyes of the British, they made a great "sacrifice" ", because it is tantamount to watching Russia gain a forward base into the Indian Ocean, and may even threaten the passage of British merchant ships into and out of the Red Sea.But Britain made a "concession", patiently and accepted this reality.

In the eyes of Randolph and many British politicians, the sacrifice of the United Kingdom is very great. They think it is the "goodwill" of the United Kingdom.

It's just that for the Roman Empire, they didn't intend to pay attention to this "goodwill" at all.

"what? What?"

Robanov said,

"Mr. Envoy, what do you say, this is your goodwill, the new Moscow colony is an agreement between us and the French, what does it have to do with the British, or in you!"

After a pause, Robanov said in a slightly dissatisfied tone.

"You British people think that the whole world should obey the rules you set, or in other words, all countries in the world must submit to you! Is this what you call the "British order"?"

"British order" This is a "viewpoint" put forward by the British at the negotiating table in Paris when Russia was defeated in the Crimean War in 1856. They used the excuse that Russia's war against Turkey destroyed the "British order."

It can be said that every Russian hates this "British order", and this is definitely their scar.

But for the British, that was their highlight moment. Faced with Robanov's rhetorical question, Landau replied in an arrogant tone.

What is the establishment of the "British Order" order? It is for the lasting peace of the world, which is what the British Empire aspires to bring to the world. Your Excellency, we have never thought of submitting that country. We All I want is peace..."

"It's the peace you made!"

Robanov said directly.

"Your so-called peace is at the expense of other countries sacrificing their own interests. Take back your arrogance of England! Your Excellency, the world talks on the basis of strength. Your arrogance is gone. make any sense!"

After all, he said stand up, and then said.

"Now, I can tell you clearly - we, the Roman Empire will never make any concessions on the Persian issue, and will not start any talks with you on the Persian issue!"

"Damn it, are you trying to challenge the British Empire?"

Randolph stood up and said in a grumpy tone.

"Do you know what this means? It's war, it's destruction!"

The reason why Randolph broke out was not just because the other party ignored the interests of the British Empire.Also because it was the only choice he could make.

Threat of war!

When negotiating with other countries in the past, the United Kingdom did not need to directly raise the threat of war at all, because everyone knew that the British Empire was strong and could not be offended.

But now the British Empire is deeply offended.So no matter what he said or how angry he was, Randolph directly threatened war.

"destroy……"

Robanov looked at the guy in front of him and asked back.

"Is this your threat of war?"

His tone was light, with an air of insignificance.It seems that his threat was not heeded at all...

"Do you think that just relying on such a sentence will bring the Roman Empire to its knees?"

Robanov looked at each other with contemptuous eyes.

"Do you think that you can still speak to us in a superior manner like in the past. Then you can achieve your wishes? The British Empire may be powerful. But you must understand that the Roman Empire is also inviolable. .”

This world is all about strength, and strength is always the foundation of everything.The reason why Robanov responded with contempt was because the current British Empire was nothing but a paper tiger.

Nothing to be afraid of.

Of course, there is another reason because they have figured out the bottom line of the British-the British dare not go to war in Persia and Rome!
