    "I'm very sorry, Your Excellency Ambassador. As you know, starting from today, our country's government departments have been on holiday. I'm afraid the negotiations will have to wait until after the holiday is over!" Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang said helplessly.

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, I can understand this!" British Ambassador to China Jules Dian said with a smile.  In fact, he was already cursing secretly in his mind.  These Chinese people actually have to take a week off. This is too luxurious!

    "So, Your Excellency Ambassador, are you going to agree to the conditions we have proposed?" Wu Tingfang asked.  If the British are willing to accept those conditions, it is not impossible to negotiate.  However, it may be very difficult for the British to fully accept those conditions.

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, we can discuss the specific conditions at that time. Our country hopes that the war can be ended as soon as possible!" Zhu Erdian said.  He has received strict orders from the country. He will serve as the plenipotentiary representative of the British side in the negotiations. It can be said that this is a very powerful position.  But again, the risks are also very high.  British Foreign Secretary Lord Lansdowne asked him to ensure that British interests were not harmed as much as possible.  And Zhu Erdian knew that this was impossible!  He has been in China for more than ten years and has a deep understanding of the greed of the Chinese emperor.  Now that the Chinese have won the war, it is impossible to curb the Chinese ambitions.  However, he knew that there were some benefits.  Britain cannot give up under any circumstances.  For example, India, and control of the Suez Canal.  Therefore, it will be very difficult to reach an agreement with China!

    Wu Tingfang nodded and said nothing more.  Britain's world hegemony is already shaky.  As long as China is willing, it will not be difficult to remove Britain from its position as the world's hegemon.  only.  Although China is developing rapidly and becoming more and more powerful, its foundation is ultimately too shallow.  If it replaces Britain as the world hegemon, this will not be a good thing for China now.  Once you're in that position.  It will definitely become the target of public criticism.  With China's current strength, it is still unable to compete with the entire world.  Therefore, China's strategy is to give up these false reputations for the time being and gain as many benefits as possible to strengthen itself.  pitting the Central Powers against the Entente, prompting war between them.  Let these Western powers.  They exhausted their national power in the war.  By then, it will be time for China to gain world hegemony.

    Wu Tingfang and Zhu Erdian separated after saying some insignificant words.  This time it will.  It has become an important gathering for communication between officials at all levels in China.  Wang Yuze intends to appoint Wu Tingfang as the new prime minister after the current Prime Minister Yang Hua leaves office.  However, Wu Tingfang still needs the support of more people.  So, with the help of this will.  He must have a good relationship with the feudal officials.  Of course, the military had to forget it.  Military generals.  He will only obey the orders of Emperor Wang Yuze.  It would be impossible for anyone to win over important military ministers, and they might even get themselves involved.  Wang Yuze paid special attention to the control of military power.

    "Your Excellency Zhu Erdian, how is your discussion with His Excellency Wu Tingfang? Is there any progress?" Pierre, the French Ambassador to China, came over and asked.  Although the French government has changed, he, the ambassador to China, has not been replaced.  Like Zhu Erdian, he also received orders from home, requiring him to reach an agreement with China as soon as possible to end the war.  At the same time, France¡¯s interests must be protected as much as possible!

    For France¡¯s new government, there is nothing that can be done about it.  Although the new President Cl¨¦ment Armand Falier and the Prime Minister Emile Combout are both members of the Radical Party, they advocate developing France into a world military power, and they also advocate remaining tough in the confrontation with Germany.  , and finally defeated Germany and re-established France's dominance on the European continent.  This view catered to the needs of the French people and capitalists during this period and gained their support.  However, now France has suffered heavy losses in the war and is no longer able to continue fighting.  They must end the war as soon as possible, recuperate, and then shift their focus to the confrontation with Germany.  In this case, compromise with China is inevitable!

    "The negotiations with China will probably have to wait until after their Spring Festival holiday!" Zhu Erdian said with a sigh.  He and Pierre have become brothers.  This time Britain and France joined forces to prepare for a big setback for China in the Middle East, but they did not expect that they would eventually get themselves into the trap.  So much so that now the two of them have to pretend to be in front of the Chinese Foreign Minister.son.

    "The Chinese people are very demanding! If such a treaty is signed, I guess the two of us will have no chance to return to China!" Pierre said.  However, compared to the United Kingdom, the conditions China has proposed to France are much better.

    ¡°Let¡¯s negotiate with the Chinese again then! I hope this is not their final bottom line!¡± Zhu Erdian said.  The Chinese demand control of the Suez Canal, which the UK absolutely cannot agree to.  If agreed, the passage between Britain and the most important colony will be controlled by the Chinese!

    "Your Majesty, congratulations, your army has won another great victory!" German Ambassador to China Lucas said to Wang Yuze.

    "Thank you! Mr. Lucas, this is entirely because Britain and France began to fall from their heyday. The squadron can easily defeat them. I believe that Germany can do the same!" Wang Yuze said humbly.  Ever since the last time Germany demanded a share of the oil revenue from the Middle East, the close relationship between Wang Yuze and Lucas has gone forever.  He knows very well that no matter how good the relationship between him and Lucas is, when it comes to national interests, Lucas will still put Germany's interests first!

    "That's true. However, Germany still has to thank China. The French navy has lost all its new battleships, and the British's new battleships currently have only one that can go to sea. The U.S. Navy is also scared to run away.  Back to the United States. Now, no country¡¯s navy in Europe can pose a threat to Germany!¡± Ambassador Lucas said.  He could only regret the change in his relationship with Wang Yuze.  After all, he is a German diplomat and must first protect Germany's interests!

    "In other words, if Germany seems to launch a war against Britain, Britain will be unable to resist it!" Wang Yuze said.

    "No, no, no, Your Majesty, the navy alone cannot defeat Britain. What's more, there is also the threat of France. Germany is not ready for a full-scale war yet. Once a war is launched, we cannot guarantee to capture  Victory," Lucas said.  Although the German navy already has the advantage.  However, the army is not fully prepared, and its reserves of weapons, ammunition and various strategic materials are not yet ready.  Therefore, although this opportunity is rare, Germany can only watch the opportunity slip away.  Fortunately, the disastrous defeat of the British and French navies gave the German navy a chance to catch up with them.  This is also very important for Germany!

    "That's really a pity! It won't be so easy to find such an opportunity next time!" Wang Yuze said.  No other country can compare with Britain's naval heritage. As long as they are given enough time, they can quickly restore their strength!

    "As long as Germany and China can unite, I believe that the final victory will definitely belong to us!" Lucas said.  But, having said that.  But Germany is also more wary of China.  In particular, China's attempt to control the Suez Canal was regarded by Germany as China's attempt to encroach on Europe.  This is unacceptable to Germany.

    "Of course, for the common interests, China and Germany will be the best allies in the world!" Wang Yuze said.  However, after defeating the Allies, I am afraid that a war will break out between China and Germany for world leadership.  Wang Yuze firmly believes in this!

    On February 4th, as soon as China¡¯s Spring Festival holiday ended, the British Ambassador to China Juldian and the French Ambassador to China Pierre, who had been impatient for a long time, went to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs together, hoping to start negotiations to end the war!

    "Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, this war is a complete misunderstanding. All three of our countries have suffered heavy losses in this war. I think we should end the war as soon as possible. The Suez Canal has been blocked because of this war, which has seriously affected things.  The economic development and exchanges between the two countries have improved!" Zhu Erdian said with a smile.  It turns out that this war is a matter between China and France, but Britain jumped in on its own, and suffered heavy losses as a result!

    "We can open the Suez Canal immediately. However, because the war is not over yet, warships are not allowed to pass through the Suez Canal!" Wu Tingfang said.  Currently, the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean area in the north and the Red Sea in the south are all under the control of the Chinese navy.

    "Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, the Suez Canal is an important maritime transportation channel in the world. If it is controlled by any country, it will be unacceptable to other countries. Therefore, your country's proposal to control the Suez Canal is unacceptable to us!  Zhu Erdian replied directly.  This issue has become the most critical issue hindering negotiations between the two parties!

    "France cannot accept the Suez Canal being controlled by one country!" Pierre also quickly expressed his position!
