Lin Yuan nodded first, then looked at Gilles, who also nodded expressionlessly, and Cecil said helplessly, "Can't the two sides really back down?"

Lin Yuan and Giles shook their heads together, Cecil closed the folder in his hand helplessly, and said, "Then please go back, everyone, I will ask someone to draft a joint statement, and the English, Russian Chinese, Chinese and Latin versions of the statement have been sent to you."

Lin Yuan and Giles looked at each other without speaking. Giles stood up first and walked out without saying a word. Lin Yuan also got up to leave. Cecil suddenly said from behind: "Mr. Lin Yuan, please Wait a moment."

Lin Yuan thought: "Is he up to tricks?" So he stopped, turned around to look at Giles and asked, "May I ask you anything?"

Cecil smiled and said, "Tomorrow at eleven o'clock noon, Her Majesty the Queen will hold a state affairs meeting with you, followed by a luncheon for you. I hope you can attend on time."

Lin Yuan agreed and returned to the hotel. As soon as he entered, Shen Wanqing came up to him and asked, "What did Cecil ask you to say?"

Lin Yuan replied: "He still wants me to give in, but I refuse to give in no matter what I say, and they have nothing to do, so the negotiation officially broke down!"

Shen Wanqing asked in surprise, "Is it true?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Of course it is true. The joint statement will be delivered tomorrow morning. We will issue this statement after the inspection is correct."

Shen Wanqing said: "Doesn't that mean that war is about to break out again?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled: "The outbreak is certain, but not recently. In the last month, our unmanned reconnaissance planes have been monitoring the Russian garrison in the Far East, and there is no sign of a large number of personnel and materials being transferred in. If Russia If the army really wants to counterattack the places we have recovered, it is absolutely impossible without a large number of troops and materials and equipment! Therefore, even if the Russians want to fight, they have to wait until they have deployed their troops and materials."

Lin Yuan went on to say: "What I'm really worried about is Mongolia. The Russians dare not attack us, but the troops stationed in Mongolia are all troops from the Qing court. Their combat effectiveness is very poor. They must not be the relatives of the Mongolian princes who support the split. The opponents of the guards, plus the Russians sending troops to support, there will be a fierce battle in Mongolia by then!"

Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "I've heard that you have already ordered our arsenal to start building tanks and armored vehicles. Isn't it certain that we will win by then!"

Lin Yuan also laughed, but Shen Wanqing suddenly said: "No, we all ignored another possible conspiracy of the Russians."

Lin Yuan quickly asked: "Another conspiracy? What is that?"

Shen Wanqing replied: "When we go back, we will definitely take the Russian train. What if the Russians tamper with the train?"

Lin Yuan frowned when he heard Shen Wanqing's words, and he said: "You have reason to think, if the Russians cause a train accident and kill all of our people, our loss will be too great. "

Shen Wanqing said: "That's right, we should think of a way to prevent the Russians from doing this."

Lin Yuan said: "What can we do? We definitely don't have the ability to test the Russian trains, and we are on Russian land. If they want to attack us, we have nothing to do."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he began to think of a way in silence. He suddenly said: "I have figured out a way. Tomorrow, the Queen of England wants to see me. I will pull the royal family members into the car and let them go to China with us. I will find a way to make them come to China." Gilles is with us, and I don't believe the Russians would dare to drag their country's diplomats and members of the British royal family to harm me."

Shen Wanqing said in amazement: "It's easy for you to say, you want to bring members of the British royal family and Gilles to accompany you, who do you think you are? Can members of the British royal family and Gilles listen to you like that? And this royal family member The status must not be low, and the possibility of you pulling him up is even smaller."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "That's not sure, haven't you heard that sentence? It depends on human effort."

The next day, Lin Yuan brought the officials from the mission to the conference hall. Not long after Lin Yuan was seated, Queen Victoria walked in. Lin Yuan hurriedly led the mission to stand up to greet her, and waited until Queen Victoria was seated After everyone sat down, Queen Victoria said to Lin Yuan: "I heard that the negotiations between your country and the Russian Empire have not achieved any results. Why are you refusing to make any concessions?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "If some country wants to jointly manage Northern Ireland with your country, I believe your country will not give in."

Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom, but this part has always demanded to be merged into Ireland, so when Lin Yuan said this, Queen Victoria couldn't say anything. Queen Victoria then talked to Lin Yuan about the economic and cultural issues of both sides. Lin Yuan He said: "China and the UK are thousands of miles away. I hope the British royal family can send a representative to visit our China."

Seeing that Queen Victoria hesitated for a moment, Lin Yuan said, "This is a formal invitation. I will send someone to deliver the official invitation later."

Queen Victoria nodded and said, "It is possible, but the distance between our two countries is too far. I am afraid there will be danger on the road."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "The sea is unpredictable. I think it is safe on land. How about it? We are also going back to China. In my opinion, I will invite the distinguished representatives of the royal family to return to England with me. I hope Her Majesty the Queen will come forward to talk to the Russians again." Said, let Russia send a minister to escort, I believe there will be no problem."

Victoria smiled and said: "If possible, I also want to go to China to see it in person, but unfortunately I am too old and my body can't bear it. Well, I can send a prince to go, but it will be up to you whether he goes or not. It's up to him, and I can't force it."

Lin Yuan agreed, and the two spoke a few more words, Queen Victoria said: "Okay, the luncheon is about to begin, there will be many princes present at the luncheon, you can choose one, if you can convince He, he can follow you to China."

So a waiter led Lin Yuan and others to the banquet hall. Compared with the German royal family and the Russian tsar, the British royal family is much simpler, at least in terms of food. There are no rare ingredients on the table.

Lin Yuan was looking for a target, while Shen Wanqing asked, "Which prince do you plan to bring to China?"

Lin Yuan pointed with his finger and said, "Have you seen that young man? He's in his thirties and looks very burly."

Shen Wanqing asked, "Who is he?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "He is my target, Prince George. Few people may know about it. He is the grandson of Queen Victoria. In our era, he was the king of Britain during World War II. After he ascended the throne, he was called Prince George. For George V."

Shen Wanqing said: "Are you sure that he is willing to go to China?"

Lin Yuan said: "Different from other princes, what he received was not a school education, but a naval education. He used to be the captain of a torpedo boat in the Royal Navy. He liked things related to ships very much, and he also liked to accept and experience New things, so he must be willing to go to China."
