The two sides were engaged in a verbal confrontation, testing again and again, fighting again and again. If it hadn't been for the heavy acting component today, there might have been temptations and threats!
Diplomatic negotiations are often no different from underworld negotiations. If you don't make sense, you start to threaten. If the threats don't work, you will continue to use favors. If the favors still don't make sense, you will continue to reason!
All roads are impassable, and a small-scale war may break out to push the other party's bottom line. Anyway, in the end, you must compromise some, and I must compromise some!
In the end, a detailed treaty was reached that both sides criticized, but could both implement!
However, today the United Kingdom and the United States do not want to immediately solve the most-favored-nation status issue. They are just trying their best to silence the negotiations and put pressure on Tsarist Russia. The ultimate goal is to give the Chinese a favor!
Cai Bixia had received a secret message from the head of state before. She was very clear about the current bottom line of the British. The British actually did not want the Chinese navy to be too powerful. If any country on the earth had a strong maritime military power, the British would be nervous. Feel threatened!
Therefore, Britain must desperately contain Russia, and at the same time, it will also contain France, Prussia and all other emerging powers!
He will also contain the Chinese, but while containing them, there is another characteristic of the British that must also be taken into consideration, and that is mercantilism!
The British capital power wants to do business and make money, and war is just a means for them to make money. They are not willing to die to make money if they can make money lying down!
The difference between the Chinese and Tsarist Russia is that Tsarist Russia itself does not have a huge market, cannot digest as many British goods, and cannot conduct large-scale economic exchanges!
In other words, when Tsarist Russia became powerful, you only went out to grab money, not to do mutually beneficial business and let me, the UK, make money! With such characteristics, why don't they contain you or declare war on you?
The Chinese are different. The Chinese themselves are backed by a huge country with hundreds of millions of people, and a market with very large domestic demand is supporting their economy!
On the one hand, Britain does not want your Chinese navy to become stronger, but on the other hand, it needs your Chinese help to open up the inland market. Such a huge consumer market resource market is much bigger than India!
The Chinese have a huge market that allows the British to make money, which forces the UK to recognize the rise of the Chinese and even provide a little help in order to maintain the status of the Chinese!
After all, China is too big. The British cannot completely colonize it. It is impossible for you to reach into the inland. You can only make more money by relying on the cooperation of the Chinese!
The national conditions are different, and the final results are different, but it is a pity that Ulan Geli did not understand the truth, or what if he did? There is absolutely nothing he can do!
The British Minister Wytoma argued with Cai Bixia for a long time, but in the end he did not get the slightest advantage. Cai Bixia did Tai Chi round and round, refusing to agree to any of the MFN conditions, but he would not offend him yet. you!
Witoma and Hua Ruohan had no choice but to laugh, "It seems that Special Envoy Cai is not only the flower of the navy, but also a cunning fox on the negotiating table!"
"I really don't know how the head of state cultivated such a group of outstanding talents like you!"
"After the Four Heavenly Kings, it is really a blessing for the Chinese people to have you, the younger generation, take the lead!"
"By the way... Since we can't reach an agreement on official matters, Special Envoy Cai has to give some face to personal matters..." Wetoma said with a smile, "My family runs a small trading company, and there are several merchant ships on the sea... …”
"This...this...the fresh source quota, please ask the special envoy goddess to help coordinate...It is really impossible to get the goods, and the domestic families are already stamping their feet anxiously!"
This face must be given. Cai Bixia pursed her lips and smiled. Seeing Weitoma's cautious and low-pitched voice, she quickly confirmed, "Oh! My dear Sir, of course our friendship will help!"
"I can't get the head of state's factory quota, but I can give you part of the Cai family's own quota... So, how many ships do you have in Asia now... two?"
"Let's do this... I have a ton and a half quota to share with you, what do you think..."
"Oh, thank you so much, thank you so much..." Weituma's support for the Chinese people today never expected to be rewarded immediately.
The source of freshness is MSG! This is the biggest secret recipe of this era, and Europeans have no idea how to make it. The only thing I know is that this thing is extracted from the sea!
Many European chemists believe that this is a delicious substance extracted by the Chinese from the freshest sea fish, otherwise it would be so expensive!
When fresh food first became popular in Europe, it already weighed more than gold! Nowadays, production has increased, causing the price to fall, but this strange powder can still be directly exchanged for silver!
One kilogram of fresh water can be exchanged for about two kilograms of silver. This transaction is considered a favor price in Europe. You can sell as much fresh water as you have!
This product has a very long shelf life. As long as it doesn’t get wet, it can be stored for several years without any problem!
This makes Xianzhiyuan a hard currency in Europe!
Cai Bixia gave up the quota of one and a half tons of fresh food. The merchant ship brought by Weituma to Europe would at least make a profit of one ton of silver!
It can no longer be measured in monetary units. It can be exchanged directly with gold and silver of equal weight. This business is so arrogant!
When Cai Bixia saw that Minister Hua Ruohan was hesitant to speak, he quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Ambassador, I won't favor one over the other. Naturally, I have the same quota for you..."
Bribery, this is a blatant bribe. Ulan Geli couldn't stand it any longer. He put down his wine glass and cigar and said, "Awesome! The flower of the Chinese Navy is really awesome... I think we should continue to talk!"
"If we don't start negotiations, will I be abandoned by the whole world?"
This is what Cai Bixia wants. "Mr. Minister, as I said before, the door to negotiations is always open. You can open it at any time... Can you talk about Russia's conditions now?"
Ulan Geli's heart felt cold. He knew that no one among these ministers could help him except the French. But could the French be relied on?
The French Ambassador Goldmire avoided his eyes in shame and refused to look at Urangli. You can't blame him! France’s war reparations have not yet been paid out!
There is still a Chinese military observation group stationed in the city of Paris, and they live a life like an aristocrat on the Champs Elysées with great power. That Chinese military uniform has become a thorn in the heart of France, dripping with blood!
He could only rely on himself. Ulan Geli made up his mind and said, "The war reparations you mentioned are absolutely impossible! I, Tsarist Russia, have never had any precedent of paying reparations to foreign countries!"
"We won't pay even a single ruble! And those 50,000 prisoners and officers, you must return them all to us!"
"And our sincerity is... to admit defeat... to be willing to use Heilongjiang as the boundary river... both sides to reach a ceasefire agreement!"
