Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 721

Hao Er didn't expect that the Chinese emperor would come straight to the point and say what he wanted to do. After rationalizing his thoughts, he said, "Your Majesty, you are a wise monarch. I think you guessed it right, and I just accepted it." Commissioned, and mine, also commissioned by England and India, I hope that by virtue of our friendship you will not let me go away empty-handed."

Guan Xuqing smiled slightly and said: "Talk about your request specifically, and I will try my best to satisfy you. But you must know that China is now practicing a constitutional monarchy, and the country is not owned by me alone. Military Command, I still need to consult their opinions on many things before I can make a final decision."

Hao Er secretly sneered, and this statement seemed a bit false. Now who in the world doesn’t know that China is a dictatorial country, the so-called constitutional monarchy is nothing more than the decentralization of irrelevant powers, and the supreme power is still in the hands of the emperor of China hands.His Majesty the Emperor in front of him is a person who gives all politicians a headache. He will not take hard and soft words, and can kill people with a single word, frown, and smile. Behind his eyes that are always sincere, who knows What kind of brains are you working on?

"Since you said so, I don't want to hide my intention of coming here." Hao Er calmed down and said, "We are all aware of the situation in India now, and the British Empire wants to restore its status in India. It is very possible, what they want is to retain a 200-kilometer sphere of influence with Mumbai as the center. China provides the right to garrison troops in the Persian Gulf, and is willing to hand over one-third of India's land to China. This range starts from Muscat and extends to Sanaa. Your Majesty the Great Emperor, you can imagine that it will cost nothing. To get such a large area of ​​land with one shot of the gun, I think it is beneficial to you and your country no matter how you look at it, so I hope you can seriously consider it."

The British gritted their teeth and proposed such a condition was indeed a huge temptation for China, and it was impossible not to be tempted, but Guan Xuqing looked at Hao Er with a half-smile, and did not speak immediately.Hao Er felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him, coughed twice and said: "Your Majesty, I have made it very clear, do you have any questions?"

"There is only one small question." The expression on Guan Xuqing's face was very strange: "I guess the matter is not that simple. Is there no other intention behind their conditions?"

"No." Hall felt that now he had the ability to persuade the Chinese emperor, he said with a smile: "They only ask China to maintain substantial neutrality without making any statement, and at the same time no longer ask Britain's objections in the Middle East and the Balkans." provide any assistance."

Indeed, such a request is already very generous to China. In the eyes of the United Kingdom, it is an unstoppable fact that China has become the leader of Asia. If this is the case, why not give up the lost interests, and perhaps it is possible to regain the power of this world slowly. Win over to your side.After the war is over and the British Empire and its allies recover, they will be free to deal with China. What Britain needs to avoid most now is an all-out war with China because of one India.

"I have to admit that your proposal is very tempting." Guan Xuqing sighed softly and said, "You know, I really want to agree to this request immediately, but there is an old saying in China that goes 'the sky never falls into the sky', I have always been skeptical about the benefits that others bring to my door.Does Britain still want to gain a foothold in the Middle East?Sooner or later the imperial army will move in.The British in India can’t even stay. It is the land of the member countries of the Greater China Federation. We must not lose faith in the friends of the empire. The empire has this responsibility and this obligation to help them regain their land. Facts have also proved that we are doing He did not hesitate to use war to fulfill this promise.But please rest assured that China and the United States are close partners. As long as Roosevelt is president for one day, the relationship between the two countries can be maintained for a long time. China will never be a country that breaks promises! "

Guan Xuqing's resolute attitude made Hao Er unexpected. Before coming here, he had already anticipated the difficulties he would encounter and made full preparations for it, but he still didn't expect the Chinese emperor's attitude to be so firm and ruthless. noodle.

"Your Majesty, from the standpoint of a friend, I implore you to think more about it." Hao Er tried his best to hide his embarrassment: "As the leader of a big country, it is always right to think more. "

Guan Xuqing said slowly: "Mr. Hao Er, my friend, I have carefully considered your suggestion, and now I will tell you the final answer. If I do not agree, neither will the people of the empire. Now that the war has broken out, So let's fight this war together, no matter who wins or loses. I said that China is not a warlike country, and neither is Asia. We are just fighting for our rights, and we will give anything for it. Blood, or life, we must expel all unfriendly foreign forces from this land, and China is the leader of this just war. In addition, I can also tell you that when we talk, the Dragon Army has already The final assault on Mumbai has been launched."

On the contrary, his words made Hao Er calm down. It seems that the Chinese emperor is indeed ready to carry out the war to the end. It is really as he said, losing or winning is no longer important to China. What China wants now is no longer important. Another victory, as simple as a city, but all of Asia!What about America?Once the United States is faced with such a war, can it have the determination like China?Mexico, which has been in territorial friction with the United States now, has obviously received someone's secret support, and has been eager to move.Is the United States ready for the possible war?And the Philippines, America's bastion in Asia, how will China deal with it?

The Philippines was won by the United States from the old Western country Spain after the World War II and the world situation was reshuffled through the Peace Conference in Beijing, and it has also become an important strategic position of the United States in Asia.

"Okay, maybe I shouldn't persuade you anymore, it will affect our friendship." Hao Er calmed down, and changed the topic he and he cared about the most: "I want to ask you, my lord Your Majesty, what are you and your army going to do about the Philippines? Ignoring it doesn't seem to fit your statement that China is the leader of Asia. But are you going to assist those rebels in the Philippines and fight a battle with your friends? "

Guan Xuqing smiled, this is the real purpose of Hao Er's visit today.There is nothing to discuss about the Philippine issue. As long as it is in Asia, China has the responsibility to assist the local armed forces to drive away external forces, but one problem is that China does not want to fight on multiple fronts, especially directly with the United States, which has huge industrial potential. Conflict, at least not yet.The Philippines is now just a fish on the knife, and China can take it into its pocket at any time.War is also a kind of risky investment, but the cost is too high. Now Guan Xuqing is thinking about how to achieve the goal with the least cost.

"Buy." Guan Xuqing suddenly smiled: "The empire can buy this colony from the United States, just like you bought Alaska back then. The Alaska you bought from the Russians was only 2 cents per hectare. The total price is 720 million U.S. dollars, the empire will definitely not pay such a low price."

"It's impossible!" Hao Er stood up suddenly: "The Philippines is different from Alaska. The United States is not a tsar, and we will never sell our land!"

"Sit down first, don't get excited." Guan Xuqing's composure far exceeded Hao Er's imagination. He was a little frustrated with his gaffe, and sat down slowly to listen to the other party continue: "I just made a personal suggestion. Don’t listen to this opinion, but let the Philippine rebels rebel and kill American officials. Of course, I also believe that the United States is fully capable of solving these problems. But to be honest, I am still very interested in the Philippines, but I don’t want to start a war with the United States , that is a friend of the Chinese after all. Therefore, Mr. Hao Er, if you can accomplish this, the empire will give you a huge unimaginable wealth in return for your friendship."

Hao Er said coldly: "Please don't insult the dignity of an American, a real gentleman cannot be bought with money!"

"Five million!" Guan Xuqing interrupted him before he finished speaking: "Five million dollars, what kind of concept is this? I don't need to explain it clearly. With this money, you can do whatever you want. If you can successfully lobby your Congress. I can also give you permanent residency in China and give you a pension of 500 dragon coins per year."

This seemingly understatement made Haoer's heart flutter. Yes, Haoer believed that he would not be tempted in front of 50 or 500 US dollars, but what about 500 million? What kind of concept is [-] million?Judging from the price level at that time, it was enough for him to buy the next small country.

Guan Xuqing smiled, and clapped his hands three times outside the hall. Zhao Bingjun, the director of the Imperial Security Bureau, who had been waiting outside, and several officers under his command laboriously carried several suitcases into them, slowly put them on the ground, and fell from the suitcases Hearing the sound, it seemed that there was something very heavy inside. Zhao Bingjun glanced at Hao Er with a half-smile, and left Dongnang Pavilion with his men.

Guan Xuqing got off Longta, walked up to the suitcase, opened one of them, and a burst of dazzling golden light shot out, making Hao Er unable to open his eyes.

Gold, all gold, golden and dazzling gold!
