. Countries around the world have actually been paying attention to the situation in British Columbia. To be precise, they are paying attention to a fight, including the two major powers of Britain and the United States. Unfortunately, as one of the most important parties, the Canadian government was clearly excluded from the group that determines the direction of the entire incident.

As the Prime Minister of Canada, MacDonald is naturally extremely depressed and difficult to accept. But what if it is difficult to accept it? As an excellent politician, MacDonald is very clear that he has no say in this battle. In this incident, he is even less powerful than the group of Chinese people who stayed in the northwest corner of the United States.

Because of the distance.

So we can only sit idly by and watch the Chinese occupy British Columbia, and we can only sit idly by and watch the Chinese annex the Yukon region.

The Canadian Prime Minister can only explain this to the surging people. Because he really can't think of any other reason to say it. His hopes are all placed on the British. He only hopes that the British can see that Canada is also a member of the Commonwealth, and that they once declared their allegiance to the Queen of England, and they also gave him a hand.

When the British representatives, the US representatives, and the Chinese governor of Washington state began negotiations in Seattle, McDonald's original heart was relieved. He believed that since the British had already come forward, there would definitely be a better result, at least he would not be allowed to cede land and pay compensation. Because the British were very concerned about their own face. The great powers were the first, and if people often swept their face, who would take you seriously, right?

But the situation quickly took a sharp turn for the worse.

The British suddenly announced that the mediation failed, and then there was no sound.

But...mediation?

When did his British man say that he wanted to mediate? How did he mediate? Besides, is they mediating? Is it necessary to mediate? They have no soldiers to start a war with the Chinese, so why should they stop?

McDonald knew that things were broken. He hurriedly found the Canadian governor from England and wanted to persuade the British government again by persuading the other party. It would be better to persuade the old lady Queen Victoria to let the other party return to North America. However, the British seemed to let go with a determined heart. He ignored these things at all. McDonald was stunned. He didn't understand. He was a member of the Commonwealth and a "subordinate" of the Queen of England. Why did the British ignore themselves?

The Canadian Prime Minister quickly found the reason: he believed that the reason why the British did this was because he had always insisted on seeking equal status under the unified diplomacy of the Commonwealth. He also repeatedly rejected the British's demand to sell Canadian interests for Canada... But what was wrong with him doing that?

McDonald began to drink heavily.

Yes, it's alcoholism.

This is not because the Canadian Prime Minister cannot withstand the blow and becomes decadent, it is just his habit. In fact, MacDonald often suffers from illness, so he is either busy with heavy official duties or alcoholism. When encountering major problems, he often likes to seek relief from the bottle. But this time he is obviously not as lucky as before. Just after he learned that the British had no intention of coming forward for Canada in this incident and characterized the invasion of the Red Corps as a "local component" and was drunk for the first time. A group of Chinese suddenly appeared in Ottawa and submitted a complaint directly to the Ottawa District Court, accusing the Canadian government of persecution and exploitation of Chinese workers, especially the residents of Washington.

So, before McDonald woke up, he had to go to the door of the court to stop the conflict caused by the Chinese... Hearing that the Chinese who invaded his territory actually bit back and accused his own government, the citizens of Ottawa angrily blocked the Chinese who complained at the door of the court. If the court's bailiffs had not tried hard to maintain order and blocked the Chinese people behind, it would be very imaginable what kind of violent incident would have happened.

MacDonald was very pleased with the patriotic enthusiasm of the citizens, but he was beaten to death and was unwilling to let such a tragedy happen. Just a group of Chinese workers were persecuted, which had already made the Chinese beaten to defeat British Columbia. Once the Chinese were destroyed on such an occasion, even the US government would have to come forward to declare force. And the Federal Army, which had just formed an army of 60,000 people, would definitely be happy to give them a try.

Finally, McDonald appeared in time to persuade the angry Ottawa citizens, and the court also rejected the Chinese's prosecution... This completely angered the Chinese.

Washington State Governor Li Asheng publicly stated: They will continue to dig the Canadian Pacific Railway and connect the last section... This does not take much effort. Because the Anderon Anddonk project only has a few mountain roads left. If the Chinese had not suddenly intervened, at most the Pacific Railway would be completed in another year. The Chinese in Washington State are obviously not comparable to the financial and human resources of Anderon Anddonk. If they come to build this railway with few projects left, it may only take half a year, or even only

A few months, but what followed was the even more terrifying result announced by Li Asheng: In view of the injustice and contempt and harm shown by the Canadian government and judicial organs, once the Canadian Pacific Railway is completed, the Red Corps will head east along the railway line, and it is expected that Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, in the eastern part of the Rocky Mountain, will be annexed a total of about 1.9 million square kilometers of land as compensation for itself. In order to achieve this goal, they will also immigrate 2 million people from the Qing Dynasty on the other side of the Pacific...

The news came out and the world was in an uproar.

The three provinces of Alberta, also known as the "Three Grasslands", are Canada's livestock and food bases. Once they are really taken away, the losses of the entire Canada will be immeasurable. Moreover, Canada will also fall into a protracted war with the Red Corps. The country that has just been established is likely to fall apart due to various reasons.

Of course, some people think that this is the Chinese talking big. Because as soon as the Pacific Railway is opened, the Canadian government can immediately organize troops to advance to the west and then launch a counterattack against the Red Corps. Canada's strength will definitely be better than Washington State. At that time, how can the Chinese still have the chance to seize the "three provinces of the grassland"?

However, with the representatives of Washington State's office in China, Qian Shide and Liu Tongfu, with Li Hongzhang, Governor of Zhili and Beiyang Minister of the Qing government, Zhang Zhidong, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Zeng Guoquan, Governor of Liangjiang, and Chen Shijie, Governor of Shandong, signed the Treaty of Trade and Migration and Migration in Washington State and Zhili Province, the Treaty of Trade and Migration and Migration in Washington State and Shandong Province, the Treaty of Trade and Migration and Migration in Washington State and Shandong Province, the Treaty of Trade and Migration and Migration in Washington State and Shandong Province, only those who were disdainful of Li Asheng's "big talk" truly felt the crisis from the bottom of their hearts.

Millions of people are just a drop in the bucket for a Qing government with almost unlimited population resources. But if this "drunk" is really sent to Washington State and to Canada's "three grassland provinces", then it is hard to say whether Canada can still maintain the eastern provinces.

The Canadian government expressed solemn protests to the Qing government through diplomatic channels. But it was just a protest... Empress Dowager Cixi, who was sitting high in the Forbidden City, received advice from Qing Beile. Emperor Guangxu asked the Canadians to issue an order: "These small matters are the governments in various places who decide on their own. If you are not convinced, you can argue with it without asking the courts!"

In other words, this matter was created by governments in various places and Chinese in Tangzhou, and it has nothing to do with the Qing court. You have found the wrong person for your protest.

What else can Canadians say when they meet such a fool? Even though they knew that these treaties were signed by Liu Tongfu and Qian Shide, two representatives of Tangzhou, who were favored by Cixi, first spent money to bribe Qing Beile and several princes and nobles, and on the grounds of "going out to reduce pressure from all sides of the country", they promised to give the domestic Westernization Movement certain financial support. This convinced Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Zeng Guoquan, and military minister Zuo Zongtang, who were quite pragmatic, to sign it, and they couldn't say it. Because the treaty had already been

The signing has become a fact. Moreover, the Chinese are currently fighting with the French. They are the most disliked by the foreigners, such as white-skinned, green-eyed and red-haired, and everything they say is useless. Moreover, the people of Tangzhou not only paid money, but also heard that they also sent some "grenades" and very lethal weapons to the Qing government in close combat, saying that they supported the war between the Qing government and France. The Qing government naturally would not refuse. In this way, they naturally had a good relationship with the Chinese in Tangzhou. They were unwilling to pay attention to the Canadians who would only come to cause trouble.

For this reason, the Canadian government sought help from the Americans again. Because in their opinion, this time, the Chinese in Washington must have played together in the White House and Capitol Hill. Originally, the former US Secretary of State Brian and the British representative, and the Governor of Tangzhou Li Asheng, who was clamoring to occupy half of Canada, were having a good chat in Seattle, but the British suddenly gave up the pick... The fool also knew that there must be someone in the middle. There were only four groups of people in this matter. The British gave up the pick, and they didn't care. Canada was naturally in trouble. The Chinese started from the beginning.

But as long as you complain, you will never mention British Columbia again... This is clearly a secret agreement with the British. In this way, will the Americans come in vain? Moreover, the Chinese want to vigorously immigrate to the yellow people, which is also extremely unfavorable to the US government, which is also white. The Chinese say they want to immigrate to the three grassland provinces in Canada, but Washington State will not intercept any of it? At that time, even if the three grassland provinces and British Columbia enter the United States together, it will only enhance the Chinese people's own strength. What does it have to do with white people?

However, Canada thought it was good at calculating, but the US government could not raise any interest at all. Chessert Arthur personally received McDonald's envoy and told him that the Chinese had occupied British Columbia. Before that province was incorporated into the United States, the Chinese could completely ignore any intervention from the United States of America and immigrate on their own... In other words, they had no choice. The US government had experienced the consequences of angering the Chinese, so they did not want to provoke those lunatics at this time, especially before they did not know what kind of agreement the Chinese had reached with the British privately.

In other words, the US government also intends to stay out of the matter. But Canada also understands that the Americans are planning to make money by nothing at all. They are waiting for the Chinese to confront the Canadians to have a result, and it is best for both sides to fight. Because, if the Chinese defeated, they can take the opportunity to send troops to take back Washington State and Alaska and avenge their previous shame; and if Canada is defeated, before the Chinese immigrate wildly, they will try their best to swallow large tracts of land in the grassland provinces, and even directly seize the fruits of each other's victory... Because at that time, the Chinese who had just experienced the war would definitely not dare to provoke them casually.

It can be said that no matter what the result is, the US government will make sure to make a profit. Compared with the possible benefits, what is the small matter of being fooled and losing face?

...

"The London side means that I hope you can reach an agreement with the Chinese, rather than shouting and killing like now." The Queen of England's governor in Canada, Marquis Fitz-Morris, once again found McDonald drunk. "Because no matter what, as long as the war starts, you will definitely suffer in the end."

"Do you think we will lose to a group of yellow people?" MacDonald's collar was open, his hair was messy, and his mouth was filled with strong smell of alcohol.

"Although I don't want to admit it, you have to know that the Red Corps has been trained by our British officers over the past two years... They know the combat effectiveness and fighting style of that army." Fitzmorris said.

"You guys think we will lose?" MacDonald's eyes were red and he gritted his teeth. Once upon a time, he organized the establishment of the Canadian Federation between Britain and the United States. He achieved almost complete autonomy. At that time, he was incredible. But now, he was forced to this point by a group of Chinese people... The British actually thought that he might lose. This uncle can tolerate it, and his aunt can't stand it.

"It's not just a loss, but a crushing defeat." Fitz-Morris took a deep breath. "The officers were recently recalled to London, and they were in London, in front of our Prime Minister. There were many cabinet ministers, and they were doing a military deduction with some generals of the military... This deduction. They represent the Red Corps, while our army generals represent the Canadian army. Even our British troops in Canada."

"The result represents a crushing defeat for our generals?"

"The training indicators of the Red Corps brought back by the officers are a terrifying number. Did you know? The first soldier of that corps woke up every morning was to carry 30 kilometers of armed cross-country, and they often carried ten, twenty kilometers, and some even fifty kilometers of cross-country."

"This just means they are more capable of running." MacDonald said disdainfully.

"The problem is that they can't just run." Fitz-Morris smiled bitterly, "they invented some new weapons that can build a small artillery position in ten minutes. The artillery position moves very quickly, far exceeding ordinary artillery, and even less slower than ordinary infantry... In addition, they are also very innovative in other aspects. The officers asserted that the Red Corps had initially possessed the qualities of the world's first-class corps."

"A preliminary experience means not yet. What's more, even if they are the world's first-class people? Are we still afraid of them?" McDonald shouted.

"You can't be afraid, but the problem is that the Canadian army alone has basically no hope of defeating the Red Corps. Especially this army has experienced many major wars, and many of its members are veterans, facing veterans who are stronger than their enemies several times." Fitzmorris said again.

"What the hell do you want to say? Just to destroy my faith? You are the governor of Queen Victoria... God, I really don't know if the old lady in Buckingham Palace knew that you were persuading me to give up on a military showdown with the Chinese and those territories that had sworn allegiance to her, would she scream? Hahaha..." MacDonald suddenly lay on the table and laughed, drunkenly fucking the sky.

"I'm just reminding you." Fitz-Morris frowned slightly, "and the Chinese don't want to start a war. They don't want Americans to take advantage of it either."

"They should have thought of this a long time ago." MacDonald snorted coldly on the table.

"It's not good for you to do this, but forget it, I'd better say it." Fitz-Morris looked at the drunken Prime Minister in a disgust: "First of all, the Chinese need the Canadian government to apologize publicly, apologize to the Chinese workers who were persecuted in the Pacific Railway Project, and make compensation for their mistakes."

"They don't think about it..."

"Second, the Vancouver area, well, either Vancouver Island or the town of Gass in southern British Columbia, has now been renamed Vancouver City by the Chinese. Well, the Lower Mainland area of ​​the Vancouver area will be used as a gathering area for persecuted Chinese workers, and will be handed over to the Chinese workers to develop and live on their own, and will be temporarily managed by Seattle officials. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission. As for the area of ​​this area... the Chinese hope it is 10,000 square kilometers."

"Invasion, this is naked invasion!" McDonald growled.

"Third, the Chinese will take over the Canadian Pacific Railway Project and own 60% of the shares. Of course, they will not acquire these shares in vain," Fitzmorris said again before McDonald's storm: "The Chinese will build a railway directly to Alaska and connect your Pacific Railway to it... Of course, according to the rules, they will have the right to explore and develop all land within 50 kilometers of the railway."

“…”

"Fourth, give Chinese official citizens in Canada the status of a Chinese citizen and enjoy the right to vote!"
