"Your Majesty, there is also the assassination incident, the truth has been investigated clearly, it was French Prime Minister Joufferi who planned it behind the scenes, and it was British and French militants who did it, and it was a joint operation, with a total of more than 300 people involved."
Wang Zhankui then reported to Emperor Hua.President Meng actually knew it for a long time, but the information of the Bureau of Statistics had not been implemented before, and it was not yet certain, but now it is certain."
It's really hateful, Your Majesty, what should I do," Gege said angrily."
Your Majesty, can you get rid of this Joferi?"
asked Catherine angrily."
Get rid of him" President Meng almost didn't laugh."
Your Majesty is so happy that he almost died."
Catherine couldn't help but sigh, this time, not to mention the women present, even Sophia, who was 13 years old and had just learned a little about the relationship between men and women, felt that her mother's demeanor was a bit exceeded."
Violence is not what we are pursuing, we have to use our brains, less hands, whether it is at home or abroad, we must adhere to such a line of thought, the last time we were in distress, it has passed, and we will pay attention to it in the future, and, last time, I took the initiative to go to the county, if I don't go, where do they have the opportunity to do it" President Meng said indifferently."
Besides, this matter, since we can know the truth, after a while, the whole world will know the truth, the French are hateful, the British cover up the French to do it, and they are also hateful with the support of public opinion in the international community, which is not a bad thing.""
Your Majesty is sometimes too angry."
Catherine couldn't help but say."
Go and prepare for my meeting with the Russian Foreign Minister tonight, at whatever you want."
President Meng said to Wang Zhankui."
Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Zhankui agreed.Tsarist Russia is very important to China's diplomacy in Central Asia and Europe, in the eyes of the Chinese emperor, even more important than the diplomacy with Britain, France, Germany and other great powers, although Tsarist Russia is now in the process of transforming from a slave and feudal form to a capitalist form, and has just experienced a war, and is now very weak, but the emperor believes that Tsarist Russia is still a superpower.Emperor Hua never underestimated Tsarist Russia.The main reason why the Qing court could not resist the invasions of the foreign powers, but Afghanistan in the same period was able to frustrate the British three times in a row was that it had the support of Tsarist Russia behind it.At the same time, the Chinese emperor believed that the influence of Tsarist Russia in Central Asia and the Middle East had not been reduced, but had become more important, and that all sides would actively win over Tsarist Russia, especially Britain and France.At present, China's main opponents are Britain and France, so the emperor tried to improve relations with Tsarist Russia, although China has been making such efforts, but it is too difficult to take more than half of the land from Tsarist Russia.Britain attacked Afghanistan many times, and the Afghans withstood each time, but the Afghans won the war, but Britain did not achieve the set strategic goals.The majority ethnic group in Afghanistan is the Pashtuns, a nation that has historically been very brave and warlike.In the 18th century, the Pashtuns overthrew the Mughal Empire and established a large empire.Moreover, Afghanistan is originally a mountainous area, with complex terrain and poor resources, which is very conducive to defense and not conducive to attack.The geographical environment of the Qing court could not catch up with Afghanistan, of course, here from a strategic point of view, the north of China is a plain, which is conducive to attack, but not conducive to defense, when the eight-nation coalition comes, among which Tsarist Russia and Japan are China's neighbors, at that time Germany also established its own concession on the Jiaodong Peninsula, or another kind of colony.They participated directly in the war to carve up China.Afghanistan is located in Central Asia, and there are many major powers nearby, such as Tsarist Russia, China, and India, which is under the control of the powerful British Empire.Therefore, most of the wars against Afghanistan were delayed by the great power game in the end, so Afghanistan is known as the "graveyard of imperialism".Afghanistan has always been a British colony that Britain has repeatedly fought over with Russia.Afghanistan survives between these two beasts.In fact, the emperor believed that Tsarist Russia needed Afghanistan more, and Alexander II always hoped that Russia could have access to the Indian Ocean, and Afghanistan was one of the important breakthroughs.After taking Afghanistan, Tsarist Russia seized the initiative in the war and could almost immediately impact British India, at that time, Tsarist Russia was a behemoth across three oceans, and, most importantly, Russia had the opportunity to completely get rid of the curse of its few ice-free ports, and it could also block ships from various countries in the Indian Ocean at any time.Therefore, Russia and Great Britain have always been hard steel here.It's a pity that the national strength of Tsarist Russia is not good, otherwise, Alexander II is a talented monarch in the eyes of the Chinese Emperor, not just a conservative feudal monarch, and the powerful transformation behind Tsarist Russia is mostly in the foundation laid by Alexander II.In its original history, the successors of Tsarist Russia did not realize Alexander's ambitions in Central Asia.However, the Qing court was rich in land and resources, and Afghanistan was not annexed on the surface, in fact, it was almost the same as being annexed, only slightly better than India, and the Qing court was ostensibly defeated by the Western powers in turn to pay land reparations, but in essence, China was only superficially defeated: even after the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Coalition and the signing of the Xinchou Treaty, the Qing government was still able to survive for decades under the social turmoil and the aggressive posture of the foreign powers, and successfully suppressed several uprisings carefully planned by the revolutionary party.The fall of the Qing Dynasty was only a change of dynasty, and the history of the Republic of China after that proved that the foundation of the country has not been shaken, not only is it difficult to fall to the point of extinction, but it still has immeasurable potential.On the other hand, Afghanistan, although Afghanistan repelled Britain three times, Afghanistan fell almost entirely in the three wars, and in the end it was only by people's war and national war that Britain could be repelled, and it can be said that all three times were on the verge of complete annihilation.Moreover, Russia has always stood behind Afghanistan in the three Anglo-Afghan wars, which greatly increased the intensity of Afghanistan's control by Russia, and finally Tsarist Russia completely included Afghanistan in its sphere of influence, and then Russia's control over Afghanistan has been very strong, until the 20s of the 20th century due to the civil war lost control of Afghanistan.Therefore, the Chinese emperor is confident in controlling Afghanistan, and when Tsarist Russia was weakest, it could control Afghanistan, not to mention that Huaguo is now thriving, in fact, it has surpassed Alexander II's Tsarist Russia.Since China is now a strong country relative to Tsarist Russia, what is the problem with taking the initiative to contact Tsarist Russia?
At about nine o'clock in the evening, the Emperor sat very gracefully opposite the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tsarist Russia, Duke Maxim Kanunnikov, accompanied by Princess Katrina Kaaf and Catherine.Duke Maxim Kanunnikov was very curious about why the emperor had always been surrounded by Western women, but he also admired the emperor's point, so it was indeed much easier to deal with other countries, especially with Western countries.This is not a matter of language, the emperor himself can speak fluent English, the key is to give people a feeling problem, making people feel that the emperor can get along well with Western women, and will not be too repulsive to Westerners, and when Duke Maxim Kanunnikov used to deal with the Qing court, the first impression was that the ministers of the Qing court were very disgusted with them.The two sides often start to antagonize each other before they even start talking.And Huahuang let the two sides not start talking, and the atmosphere was already very harmonious."
Why does Your Majesty want to see me, I don't mind, I will meet in this Russian-owned tavern, which is very famous in Belgium and many Russian businessmen like to come here."
Duke Maxim Kanunnikov said."
I don't mind, the atmosphere here is very good, the environment is also very good, I like it very much."
Hua Huang smiled easily.In fact, President Meng knows that this should be a spy base of Tsarist Russia.Not only China, but also all countries have similar organizations, but China has invested the most and is willing to spend money.t1706231537:
