The equerry at Buckingham Palace wore a straight dress embroidered with patterns and even a small wig. It seemed that he still held an official position.
When he entered the hall, representatives from all parties stood up and nodded in respect for the Queen, and Gladstone went up to greet him directly.
"Do you have any instructions from your Majesty?" the Prime Minister asked humbly.
Everyone thought that the Queen's messenger came to the Prime Minister to convey new instructions, but the scene that followed was shocking.
The messenger bowed to the Prime Minister to express his gratitude, but as soon as he spoke, Gladstone was dumbfounded.
"Hello, Prime Minister, the Queen has no message for you. I am here to meet the head of state of the Chinese nation!"
With a buzz, Gladstone felt his blood pressure suddenly soar into the air. He began to suffer from severe tinnitus. The surroundings were filled with chaotic noises, as if everyone's words had turned into laughter.
Xiao Letian patted the Prime Minister's shoulder gently with the back of his hand and motioned for him to get out of the way. Gladstone obediently got out of the way like a puppet.
The queen's messenger stood in front of Xiao Letian, bowed respectfully and sent an invitation.
"Prince Edward will host a banquet for the head of state at Buckingham Palace tonight, as well as for the head of state's loyal generals and ministers. The queen has accepted your land purchase plan in principle, but the details still require detailed negotiations between you and us!"
Done! It actually happened!
Xiao Letian was well-informed and could hold up the scene, but when he heard the news, his heart suddenly jumped.
The Queen is actually willing to sell the two islands in the Indian Ocean and the territory of Western Australia!
"Oh, please reply to Her Majesty the Queen. I will arrive on time. Thank you very much...thank you...thank you..."
The excited Xiao Letian actually said thank you three times, which made the British people around him a little surprised.
The Duke of Newcastle, who had been watching the situation, his eyes brightened. He had a very close personal relationship with the palace guards, and he kept winking at his old friend.
But the messenger didn't say anything, he just looked at Xiao Letian with a meaningful look!
Understood, the Duke immediately understood what was going on. Xiao Letian passed the test!
How is it done? Is this Chinese man extremely capable? Even I couldn't think of a way to clear the level. How could he change the Queen's attitude overnight?
No, I have to figure it out. The Duke of Newx ignored the inquiries of the people around him and squeezed out from the window, preparing to intercept the messenger halfway.
Everything was in chaos, the negotiations were completely stalled, and even the Spaniards were confused!
It can be said that from beginning to end, the Spanish's toughness was supported by the British. They knew the situation in their country very well. They didn't even stop the civil war. They still want to fight China?
Through British diplomatic mediation, you can get as much benefit as you want. This is the real benefit!
But I never expected that the Queen's successor, Crown Prince Edward, would actually entertain all the senior Chinese officials at this juncture. And what else did the Queen say... She actually said she agreed in principle to the land purchase plan?
What is the plan? Why didn't we get any news? How did Xiao Letian hide it?
No one was working inside or outside the chaotic Ministry of Foreign Affairs. All attention was focused on this bizarre negotiation. People were speculating on how Xiao Letian got through!
The head of state stood in front of Gladstone and extended his hand enthusiastically, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, that's all for today's negotiations. I'll take my leave before it's too late!"
"I hope your name is on the dinner list tonight, but it doesn't matter if it's not. I will find time to treat you to Chinese food alone!"
Gladstone didn't know if he had shaken hands with Xiao Letian, but he felt that the whole world was dizzy. The continuous tinnitus made him unable to hear any sound, and everything in front of him was spinning.
In the end, the Prime Minister, whose blood pressure soared to the point of breaking the charts, actually collapsed on his chair!
"Hurry... call the doctor quickly, call the doctor quickly..."
The Chinese delegation left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Spaniards also left with a frown, leaving a confused group of British MPs looking for a doctor to see the Prime Minister.
After Xiao Letian returned to the embassy, Princess Sissi had just returned. Not even a quarter of an hour later, the two met in the study. They didn't even bother to talk. They hugged each other and had a wet French kiss.
He forgot to close the door, but Xiang Ying had the discernment to close the door, and then Heitai and Nohira, one on the left and the other on the right, blocked the door like door gods to prevent others from entering.
"No one is allowed to disturb master, father...picking up girls...no, no, no, it's a negotiation, it's a negotiation...I'll report something in two hours!"
Of course, Xiao Letian would not show off his sex in the daytime. He just wanted to vent his excitement. After kissing for more than ten minutes, he took his hand out of the princess's skirt, and then the two began to talk in detail while breathing heavily. Exciting diplomatic breakthrough today.
Xiao Letian thought that his performance at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was very thrilling, but he did not expect that Princess Sissi was also surrounded by dangers. The Queen is really hard to deceive. If the Crown Prince hadn't come to assist in the end, it would not have happened today. It can be done.
"My dear, I feel lucky for you too. God really cares for you. If the Crown Prince hadn't changed the Queen's thinking at the end, I think these lands would never have been sold to you!"
"But it's a pity that the land queen of Western Australia is only willing to sell 10 million square acres. If you want to get more, you can only negotiate a concession!"
Ten million square acres, Xiao Letian quickly started calculating in his mind, which is equivalent to more than 40,000 square kilometers, an area basically the same as Switzerland and the Netherlands.
Although it's not big, Xiao Letian can't even turn into a fat man in one bite. Such an area is already the limit of the queen's power.
Although the Queen legally owns all the British colonies, which are the private property of the royal family, large-scale land transactions, especially those between countries, cannot get around the obstacle of Parliament.
If Parliament jumps out and insists on opposing this land purchase, then the Queen will have to obey public opinion!
Fortunately, the ruler of Britain in this era was the extremely influential Queen Victoria. Her personal popularity had made the constitutional monarchy somewhat uncontrollable.
None of the politicians in the British Parliament at that time dared to challenge the Queen's authority, so no one would jump out to refute some of the things the Queen decided.
An area of 10 million square acres is still the desert wasteland of Western Australia for sale. The Queen is still confident that such a transaction will be passed!
But this is the limit. If the land trade becomes larger, I am afraid that the Parliament will have to interfere!
"That's enough, that's enough...it's pretty good to have such a situation at the beginning!"
"With such an area of land, we can't support it without three to four million immigrants. It will take 20 to 30 years to develop these places!"
"First establish an immigration area, and first increase our Chinese population to the number one position in Australia... As long as the population is in place, it will be easy to play chess later!"
"Thank you so much!" Xiao Letian hugged the princess's face and kissed her again.
