C3355 Rogano Hall Negotiations

Britain's core of power is Buckingham Palace, but the administrative center is Whitehall Street!

British Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Police Department, Prime Minister's residence, Ministry of Defence, Cabinet Office... was sure that if the Zhiyuan Warship were to attack him from the Thames, the British internal system would immediately collapse.

For an old empire that had undergone expansion as a colony, diplomacy was the most important thing. Naturally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held the best position on this street.

After entering the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the guards saw the leader of the Hua Clan dressed in an exquisite suit. All of them stood at attention and saluted.

The British were arrogant, but they were practical as well. Xiao Letian had used victory to gain his reputation, which was enough for the arrogant British politicians to pay respect to him.

Pushing open the opulent Rogano's hall, what entered his sight was a tacky golden color. Golden wallpaper covered the entire hall from ceiling to wall. Huge crystal lamps hung above his head, reflecting the light of the sun.

As soon as they entered the room, they heard what seemed like a bazaar within. The Spanish and Chinese diplomatic delegations had already been quarrelling here for over half a month.

"I repeat, the Philippines is a colony inherent in Spain. This is the land God has entrusted us with. This is aggression..."

"Nonsense! The land that God has entrusted to you? Let God come out and say a word! Do you have a document of God's authorization? "We don't care about all that. We only know where the Chinese live for hundreds of years, and they have the right to decide their own land ownership!"

"Shameless!" Our rights were given to us by the Pope! "You dare not admit it …"

"Nonsense, we just won't admit it!" We don't have a pope in China, and we don't listen to you! "

"Self-determination of peoples! "What we want is the self-determination of our people. All the Chinese in Luzon have decided not to accept your rule …"

"This is a conspiracy!" The representative of Spain shouted in exasperation, "We, the benevolent Queen, rule over the land granted by God. How could our good governance lead to rebellion?! This is all part of the Chinese plot!"

This time, Xiao Letian was able to grab hold of a flaw, and he laughed out loud, "Hahaha …" A merciful queen? I don't really understand, are you guys representing King A Madiao? Or the Queen Yi Suobeila who represents them in France? "

"Who exactly are you representing? How many regimes do you have in Spain? "

The Spanish representative who refuted with a single sentence perspired profusely. This Old Count who wore round gold-rimmed glasses had indeed misspoken. After working with the Queen for decades, many things had gone smoothly for him.

"Mm …" "Mhmm …" Like the old cattle on the field, he could not utter a word!

The assistant beside him started to rescue him. "Of course it's His Majesty the King, it's just a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue …"

Puff … The Chinese people were booing and their faces were full of determination!

The negotiations had gone on for more than half a month without any progress. Both sides were unwilling to give in. They were even threatening each other to the point that they wanted to use force!

However, despite the threat, Spain did not make much noise. They had shouted for more than half a month, but still had not managed to mobilize their entire country. The Expeditionary forces that they spoke of did not even seem to be a shadow of them.

CIA and General Staff had done their deductions together. If Spain was really going to go on an expedition into the Luzon, then the first step would be to discover the War bond.

With Spain's current financial reserves, it was impossible to sustain such a massive troop movement without a budget of more than £10 million.

Unfortunately, Spain was in the midst of a crucial period of change in power, and civil war was still raging in the country. Prim was assassinated.

How could they send troops in such a chaotic situation? The only thing to worry about now is the British, but the British attitude is the most important!

Just as expected, when the Spanish delegation was rendered speechless by the rebuttal, British Prime Minister Gladstone suddenly spoke up.

"Be it the king or queen, they are both the legal governments of Spain. As the current and former grand masters, they have the right to express their opinions!"

"We in the UK have been expressing our serious concern over the developments in Spain, and we do not want any crown to be stained with blood in this crisis!"

Xiao Letian suddenly raised his head, and his eyes landed on Gladstone who was staring at him. This comrade of his, who was fighting against Benjamin back then, was now filled with confrontation and hostility!

"Your Excellency, when did the Queen step down represent the country? "What kind of rules are these?"

Gladstone shook his head. "This is Europe, not some feudal country like China. The frequency at which monarchs change in Europe is that fast …"

"Today, the Queen has stepped down. Who knows if it will be reinstated in the future … I'm afraid only God can answer that! "

The officials beside the leader were so angry that their noses were crooked, "How can there be such shameless words, even the king who steps down can represent the country, what kind of nonsense is this logic!"

When they heard the Chinese begin to swear, the British parliamentarians who were listening became restless. "Apologize!" I must apologize, this is a humiliation to my British Empire! "

"The European order is set by the Europeans. We are the ones who make the rules! "You can only obey, there is no room for negotiation!"

Xiao Letian looked at British Prime Minister, who had his eyebrows knit together into a square, "So this is how Britain decides to stick its neck out?"

Gladstone didn't reply with a faint smile. Then the door of Rogano's Hall opened again, and three gentlemen walked in.

Xiang Ying who was beside the leader looked like he was about to explode, his fists clenched tightly as though he was about to hit someone.

The goatee, it turned out to be the goatee that was at the side of the exiled Spanish queen!

The goatee also saw Xiang Ying, and glared at the Chinese general who was unwilling to make the Queen feel good.

"Master! "These three people are the trusted aides of the Queen of Spain. The British have placed bets on both sides, trying to force us to our deaths!"

This negotiation is so chaotic, A Madiao's first delegation has already been discussing this for half a month, not allowing even a single step!

Now that the Queen of Exile had sent her representative, the British would have to double insurance!

Duke of Newcastle, who was sitting in the corner of the spectator's stand, had a lonely expression. He was worrying for Xiao Letian: "Don't you think the British people know that you went to the Switzerland?"

"We already knew that you were going to meet with A Madiao in private. We also found out what kind of farce occurred with Xiang Ying going to meet with the Queen."

"In order to prevent you from having a secret deal with A Madiao, how can we not use the Queen's card?"

"Xiao Letian, Xiao Letian! You're the one who forced us to this point... Do you think you can rise up and do it so quickly? "
