C1258 abnormal Russian Minister

Ai Liguo and Wei Tuoma felt the strong pressure. They knew how huge the amount of European funds was in the face of the Jiangnan Notes's crisis, and they knew how powerful the powers behind the Bankers were. However, the current situation was no longer something they could control, because something big had already happened in London.

"Prime Minister De Bi finally chose to retire because of his body. Now that Benjamin has just finished the handover ceremony and is on stage, do you think that he will start a war at this critical juncture?"

Ai Liguo let out a long sigh and threw away the chaotic message in front of him. However, Wei Tuoma continued to analyze these Bankers s that acted fierce but were weak inside, trying to find a way to counter their attacks.

"Don't look anymore, I'm afraid I have to take the blame for this. Benjamin would never start a war at this critical moment. "First of all, his position isn't particularly stable, and he needs some time to arrange for his subordinates to …"

"Secondly, as a person who respects the Count de Beer, it is impossible for Benjamin to change the major strategic principles that were left behind by his predecessor just a few days after coming onto the stage. After all, the relationship between the Count de Beer and Queen is very close …"

"This Xiao Letian's luck was simply bestowed by the heavens …"

Wei Tuoma also threw the telegram to the side and let out a long breath, "I sometimes wonder if this Xiao Letian knows the technique of prophecy. "Why can he guess the key point at every step, and then suddenly make a big move when all the forces have no time to estimate him?"

"I don't know the reason either, but I just have this kind of premonition, as if Xiao Letian could meticulously analyze every single change happening in Europe. At the moment when we were at our worst, he would quietly make his move, time and time again snatching at benefits, but we were unable to stop him at all …"

The topic was a little dejected. Ai Liguo poured herself and Wei Tuoma a glass of whiskey. If the Russian won this war, then these merchants would forget about their displeasure and continue to distribute wealth to them. The attacks on us would naturally disappear without a trace … "

"But if they are happy, the Empire will not be happy, because if that happens, the power of the Russian in Asia will soar, and when that happens, who will be the one to vent the Queen's anger on? "It's still us …"

"In Chinese words, this is called being neither human nor foreign …"

Wei Tuoma raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. "That's right, on the contrary, if Xiao Letian wins, then Russia's hand that was reaching out towards the Pacific would be cut off by him. This will be beneficial for us in suppressing the Tsar …"

"But that way, Xiao Letian's strength will once again rise greatly, and those vampires will go bankrupt. Although it's only the head of a branch, the big crocodiles at headquarters will also vent their anger on us …"

"My God! "It seems like no matter what happens, we'll have bad luck. The fate of the scapegoat won't be taken away!"

Ai Liguo shook his head: "You don't have to be so pessimistic, I have already reached the age of retirement, regardless of the final result, let me take responsibility, you are still young, as long as you let those people vent their anger, you will still be heavily valued later on, believe me!"

Just as the two diplomats from the east were sighing and sighing over the troubles in front of them, a military official suddenly knocked on the door and walked in. "Minister, Counsellor …" Just now our soldiers reported that Minister Weng Tonghe of the Kingdom of Qing had left the Russia's embassy. Looking at his expression, it seems like Minjiang Estuary's battle has completely driven him crazy … "

The British Minister and the Russian Minister were both located to the north of the East Crossing Folk Lane.

This was the central position of the Beijing, and the two envoys' residences were surrounded by the Hanlin House, Ministry of War, work department, Hong Dian Temple, Venerate Heavens Surveillance Bureau, and Taiyuan Hospital … A little further west was the Great Qing Sect, which was located in the square in front of the Tiananmen Sect. It was called the clan's residence, government office, ministry of accounts, and ministry of ceremonies.

This was the core region of the Great Qing's government, and was naturally the core region where the various powers' eyes were mixed with each other. Anyone who walked on this street could be a spy, even if they were idiots, beggars, or homeless people, it was hard to say if they were pretending.

Originally, Ai Liguo and Wei Tuoma did not care much about it. After all, the two of them already knew that the unlucky Weng Tonghe and Fu Qing had become the negotiating representatives for the Russia, so it was understandable that they met each other.

"At the beginning, Master Weng's face was gloomy, maybe he did not receive any form of courtesy from Russian, but when he went to the Golden-purple City on the palanquin, he opened the palanquin curtain and ordered the servants by his side, only then did we realize that Master Weng's face was actually filled with joy …"

"Hmm? "What's going on …" The two Englishman s immediately lost their composure.

Weng Tonghe was currently walking towards the Yangxin Palace, and he himself felt that it was unbelievable. Before he went to see the Russian Minister in the morning, he had already mentally prepared himself for a fight.

However, although the Ambassador's storm was very violent, the old man suddenly realised that this storm was only headed towards Xiao Letian, not Great Qing at all.

Ulangeli was roaring in the house, using Russia slang and his weird Chinese to angrily call Xiao Letian despicable and shameless, as if God would punish him, etc. Many Russian translators found it difficult to speak, and the old man knew that it must be a very disgusting swear word.

But when Ulangeli's anger gradually dissipated, the old man mentioned the little emperor's actions. The Ambassador of Russia had actually calmed down, and thought that the little emperor did not have a personal authority, so his actions did not represent the Qing Government.

Furthermore, Ulangeli believed that the little emperor had been bewitched by Xiao Letian, and even forced by him. Therefore, the Russia would not hate the little emperor, and even more so would not affect the friendship and peace between the Russia and the Kingdom of Qing because of this matter.

The old man was stunned. He had not expected the situation to turn out like this. The originally difficult task that was like a fireball was actually going so smoothly.

It was only when the negotiations finally came to an end and he heard Ulangeli's requests that the old man's happy face sank again.

"As expected, there is no such thing as a wasted peace!" Forget it, it's better for me to report such a big matter to the empress dowager. This is already something I can't decide … Oh, and also, we need to immediately generate electricity for Fu Qing, we should listen to his opinion! "

Before entering the Forbidden City, Weng Tonghe ordered his subordinates to immediately send an urgent telegram to the Qing San Ye, recounting the details of his secret meeting with the Russian Minister. At the end of the telegram, he also indicated to the Third Master that if it was difficult to come to a decision, he should consider consulting the Great Marshal Zeng.

In fact, the old man didn't even need to remind Fu Qing since after he had received the news about the Imperial Court, he had already rushed over to Jiangning by boat. The chaos in East Asia had involved too many aspects that ordinary strategists could not understand, only strategists like Ceng Guofan might be able to give the Imperial Court some relevant advice.
