At the London Peace Conference, representatives of seven countries came to vote, and they wanted to vote whether they supported the American Empire and had sovereignty over Mexico. In addition to the American Empire, these seven countries were the United States, Mexico, Qing, Britain, France, and Russia. If they voted, wouldn’t the American Empire lose?

So how could it happen, 4 to 3, support the American Empire?

Generally speaking, it is really hard to imagine. You should know that Mexico will definitely not support the American Empire, so there is a vote. The United States is wearing a pair of pants with the Mexican government in exile, so this is the second vote. France just fought a war with the American Empire and suffered losses. Naturally, they cannot support the American Empire. +,

In other words, these three votes are almost certain, so how could it be a 4-3? Is there no other country to support the three of them?

Everyone knows who voted for what votes. The so-called unspoken name is nothing more than nonsense. It is obvious that Li Hongzhang of the Qing Dynasty voted for yes, while both Britain and Russia voted for yes, but why did they do this?

That's interesting here.

In fact, the hardest thing to understand is Li Hongzhang, because he was fighting with Master Huang San before. How could he support the American Empire?

This is because foreigners don’t know the way we Chinese think.

Of course, Li Hongzhang has to vote for yes, why?

Because that is written, it is Chinese. You must know that Li Hongzhang is not stupid. If you can determine the ownership of sovereignty through a written thing, then the one who benefits the most should be the Qing Dynasty for which Li Hongzhang served?

If we talk about the long history of culture, then we China say second. No one dares to say first. The so-called ancient historical countries in other countries are not good. None of them can be continued. Only China has continued since ancient times and has not been interrupted. So if such an example is the so-called sovereignty of the American Empire over Mexico. It can be an example!

You should know that this example is very powerful, that is, the people behind us should look forward to see how our predecessors did it. For example, was it the law of ancestors in the Song Dynasty? Then the same was true in the Ming Dynasty, and the same in the Qing Dynasty.

Foreigners, as far as the UK is concerned, is actually the same. Li Hongzhang knows the British law. They all look forward to see what happened before and then judge the current case.

So once this matter becomes a regular example, wouldn’t it be natural for the Qing Dynasty to swear sovereignty in the future, or to take back some of the cuts?

Li Hongzhang had this idea, so Li Hongzhang voted that kind of vote.

In everyone's impression, the Qing Dynasty should have the least dealt with the American Empire. These two countries must be fought. For example, at the beginning of the meeting, everyone saw it. Because of a little thing, the two old men were fighting and scolding each other fiercely.

But that kind of tearing is a matter between individuals. This is an internal dispute over justice, but if it is put outside, it is profitable. How could Li Hongzhang let it go?

So, it is obviously a vote that must be voted for, but in fact, this vote was a yes from the beginning.

But in fact, this ticket is calculated by Disrael!

That is to say, Li Hongzhang would vote for Yes, and this matter was already under Disrael's calculations in the morning. This matter was such a strange thing about democracy and sovereignty. In fact, it was not democracy from beginning to end!

Before today's meeting, Disraelli, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, took the initiative to invite Liszt, the ambassador of the American Empire to dinner, and the two talked about a very important matter at the dinner table.

"Mr. Liszt, I would like to hear your promise again, that is your Emperor. Does he really want to build a canal to open up the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean?"

Opening up the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean?!

Liszt has had some experience these days, so he politely didn't move the food on this high-end restaurant and the table. He mainly spoke, so he said, "Mr. Disraelli, please rest assured! Our Majesty's words have always been a word! This is the biggest feature of the Chinese emperor, and I think you know it too! Sir, I can say that now I hope you can go and tell the noble and respectable Queen Victoria that our American Empire will definitely build a canal in Panama, and then there will be no barrier between the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean! In fact, before I came, my empire had already started construction, of course, it was built on the West Bank."

"Oh! This is really good news." Disraelli's eyes lit up!

That’s right, it’s because of this canal that Disraelli’s vote will be voted for the American Empire!

As for the ticket in Scekriculum, there is no need to mention... But why is this canal so attractive to the British?

This canal is obviously the Panama Canal, and Li Mengyang was preparing to repair it early in the morning.

You know, this canal is really important. As a time traveler, how could Li Mengyang not know? This is almost an important node for communicating with the East and West worlds!

With this canal, the exchange between the East and the West can take at least 10,000 kilometers less. This is of course a conservative estimate. And more importantly, the British value the most, that is, will this business be bigger?

That is naturally a business with the Qing Dynasty!

Nowadays, if the British want to do business with the Qing Dynasty, they mainly have to go east, along Africa, then to the Indian Ocean, to India and to the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that it is really long, so that Britain has packed many goods, just simple things, to India.

This is actually the original OEM. The one produced the most in India is of course the Ya film. This thing is simple, not difficult, and it is also suitable for planting.

But after all, it is outsourcing. If you can produce more things on the island of the UK and then go directly to Qing Dynasty, how nice it would be?

If Panama is opened, won’t this route come out? Will there be no need for merchant ships to go east in the future?

The most important thing is that the UK is now on the verge of an economic crisis, that is, the overall economic data is not good. So if we can create more job opportunities, wouldn’t it alleviate the economic crisis?

How could Disraelly not see such benefits?

In addition, France is doing things in Egypt now, and they want to build a Suez Canal!

Let me put it this way, if the French succeed, the Suez Canal can also make the merchant ships much less, so there is no need to go around Africa.

But what is so desperate is just the things the French do!

Not to mention others, in Li Mengyang's consciousness, the French and the British are like cats and dogs. They are not the same species. If they get together, they have to fight.

So if that's the case, if the Suez Canal was turned into, how disappointed would the British be?

Disraelli has actually been coveting the Suez Canal for a long time, but he really can't find a place to talk to him now. You know, France now has No. 1 in Europe, and it's amazing. Although he lost to the American Empire, it was an expedition.

Who doesn’t know how uncomfortable the expedition is?

Then, there is no chance for the Suez Canal, but if the Panama Canal can be built, wouldn’t the British Empire be another sunny day?

So, Disraelli is really interested, and the Queen of England is fully supportive of this matter.

"Mr. Liszt, I want to ask, is such a project a little difficult for your country?"

"Um?"

This is interesting. Although Disraelli may be saying the truth, it is impolite after all. Isn’t this just saying that your American empire is insufficient?

"Ah, I don't mean that, I mean, our British Empire, I mean, if possible, can our British Empire participate in it?" Disraelli said this very carefully. To put it bluntly, he just let the British Empire master a canal like France.

But, that Lister...

"Mr. Disraelli, I know your kindness, and I can even convey your friendship to His Holiness. However, our American Empire can definitely complete this project independently! It will definitely be completed quickly! Next year! Well, it's almost the same!" Liszt's expression at this time was interesting.

This expression was a bit angry, but the anger was still tense and he spoke quite hard, so it seemed...

Have a chance!

Disraelli was thinking about it at this time. Obviously, Liszt was talking big, that was called a canal. Even if there was a big lake in Panama, it wouldn't be repaired next year if you want to repair it? Do you think that thing is the kind of thing we used to pee and mud when we were young? It opened with a stick and poked it?

"Mr. Liszt, I never deny the strength of your country. I mean, if there is business, everyone should do it together. For example, if our British Empire joins, then our two empires will combine the swords. In this way... this year! This year, it is possible to repair this canal!" Disrael is tempting.

"Oh, that's it..." Liszt seemed a little unsure.

But after a long and thorough examination, Liszt seemed to have made a decision, "What I worry most is His Majesty the Emperor, you know, if you British come in, then... His Majesty the Emperor came from the Qing Dynasty after all, and before you..."

"..." Yes, this matter is very important. The two ya movie wars were all done by you in Britain, you guys... And Disraelli knew that the most important thing was that the emperor, Clint Lee I, was hard to explain!

Yes, you Clint Lee is a Chinese, but you are now going to be with a guy who has bullied the Chinese and poisoned us. He is not good at getting along with such a country! This is not politically acceptable!

So what should we British do?

However, Disraelli seemed to have overlooked a problem, that is, when the construction of this canal became an urgent thing for the British Empire. Isn't this... a bit strange? (To be continued...)
