C3358 A big deal

Gladstone was indeed not a good diplomatic expert, and he was not an outstanding schemer either. The reason why he fought Xiao Letian the most was because he could not handle the pressure from the Queen.

His original intention was to devote himself to developing his internal affairs. The broken Infrastructure in Britain, the few schools and hospitals were the main points of concern to him.

It was precisely because of this neglect that this threatening negotiation appeared aggressive on the surface, but was very much just a formality!

Xiao Letian had already come up with a strategy to counter Gladstone's tactics. Actually, he had already made preparations when he was at Switzerland.

Just as the words were being said in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Luo Huo was anxiously pacing back and forth inside the Chinese embassy. Adjacent to him was the telegraph room, and the four Telegraph operator s stared fixedly at the quiet telegraph as if they were their sons.

"Why aren't you calling? Did he f * cking change his mind? "Why aren't you calling me …"

"These European large nose are all a bunch of stupid pigs …"

Luo Huo's curses almost overturned the roof of the embassy. The guards and attendants didn't even dare to make a sound.

Just as Luo Huo was about to lose control after drinking three cups of green tea, a cry of surprise came from the telegraph room next door, "There's a signal!" There was a telegram... "There's a signal..."

The crowd immediately surrounded them. The dripping telegraph spat out a slip of code, and the translators quickly translated into English, Chinese, French, Spanish …

Luo Huo held onto the original telegram with different words, and suddenly laughed out loud, "You cowardly … Hahaha … What a coward … "But I just like you, you coward!"

"Prepare a carriage, we're going to the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs …"

A carriage with a Chinese flag had the privilege of barreling through the streets. The London police, on seeing the crazy embassy carriage, quickly sounded the sirens in advance to maintain order.

When Luo Huo rushed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Luo Jia Nuo Hall was already on the verge of collapse. With the British supporting him, Spain's representative was indeed destitute and destitute.

If you don't want to accept the conditions, then start the war, what else is there to talk about, but these Spaniard still refused to leave, and didn't talk about the war either, wanting to use their saliva and spittle to scold the Chinese away.

The old duke was as excited as if he had been smoking opium. With England as his backing, he looked like he had just accepted a new father. On the other hand, the representative of Queen Yi Suobeila, Goatee, kept quiet and watched coldly from the sidelines.

Duke of Newcastle, who had a good relationship with Xiao Letian, lowered his head and did not say a word. He could not bear to see his business partner suffer such a great sin.

Just as the situation could not be tidied up, the doors to the hall suddenly burst open, General Luo Huo who was dressed in his military uniform rushed in, his killing intent causing the entire room to freeze in shock.

"You all … What do you want... This is London, not Paris... " The old Spanish duke's legs gave way and he tried to stand up, but he was too weak to do so.

"What are you looking at? I don't have a weapon, we Chinese aren't as barbaric as you guys … " Luo Huo rejected him and stood in front of Xiao Letian and saluted.

"Reporting to the leader, Spain has called. Emperor A Madiao has sent a telegram to you …"

"Read it!" Xiao Letian said with a gloomy face.

"Yes sir!" Luo Huo looked at the clowns coldly and started to read out loud. "Respected Chief of the Hua Clan, Mr. Xiao Letian, after a long time of deliberation, I think that the outbreak of war in your two countries is a tragedy …"

"God didn't want to see the human world continue to bleed, so I carefully considered your suggestion … "In the name of the King of Spain, I have officially decided to transfer the sovereignty of the main island of the Luzon to you personally at the price of ten million pounds …"

"This is my lowest price. Please don't bargain …"

Almost no one was willing to listen to Luo Li's wordy diplomatic speech. When everyone heard the news that he was selling the Luzon's main island for ten million pounds, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exploded.

"My God! "This is false, this is impossible …" The Spanish delegation was the first to jump out in protest.

Gladstone was also shocked. "Selling..." Sold? Main Island of the Philippines, Jean... Sold by this new king? "How is this possible!?"

The Duke of Newcastle was also dumbfounded. No one would have thought that while the diplomats were still working hard, the King of Spain of Madrid would actually sell the Philippines off in private!

"Fake, it must be fake!"

Xiao Letian curled his lips into a smile as he looked at these flustered and exasperated European politicians. Hearing their complaints, he did not refute them, and the remaining Chinese officials all crossed their arms in front of their chest, happily watching the lively scene.

Gladstone's face was flushed. He did not say anything, but his men were helping him confirm all this.

Half an hour later, the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs received a royal telegram from Madrid stating that it was being sent to a delegation from Spain.

Everything was exactly the same as the first telegram, in which A Madiao ordered the delegation to come to an agreement with the Chinese to sell the Luzon's main island to Xiao Letian for ten million pounds.

Here, A Madiao secretly changed the idea. The main island of Luzon was not directly sold to the Chinese, the King did not want the two parties to get involved, she just wanted to sell it to Xiao Letian and the others.

Since the European colonial The Age of Great Navigation was at the peak of the monarchy and theocracy, the New World was developed by the Europeans at that time. The first was by God, and the second was by the King himself.

In the early days of Spanish rule in the Philippines, the European parliamentary system had not yet been fully developed, which created a legal loophole.

The king had to get the approval of the parliament when he was dealing with his affairs in the country. This was a rule that only appeared after the revolution.

However, when the king deals with the matters of the colonies, he has special privileges due to his history!

In fact, this tradition could be seen from the titles of kings. For example, the former Queen of A Madiao I was the depraved sow who had taken refuge in French politics.

Her honorific title during her reign was' Honourable Yi Suobeila II, blessed by God, 'Castile, Lyon, Aragon, two Sicily, Jerusalem, Navarra, Granada, Toledo, Valencia, Galicia, Mallorca, Seville, Sardinia, Cordova, Ke Xijia, Murcia, Menoca, Hahn, Los Algarves, Ahsilas, Gibraltar, the Canary Islands, East and West Indies, continents and islands in the sea; Grand Duchess of the Austria; Burgundy, the Dukes of Brabant and Milan; Peregre, Flanders, and the Earl of Barcelona; and the Lord of the Province of Bimo. "Wait."

In this series of titles, the East Indies were talking about the Indian Ocean and the Southeast Asian region! The Philippines was one of them!

Someone had said, what if the War Queen lost part of her territory? It was actually very simple. It didn't matter if he took one of the titles.

If A Madiao were to sell the Luzon to Xiao Letian in the first place, then he would have to take the Eastern India in the list of honorifics, and the honorific would have to be placed on Xiao Letian's head.

The King being able to circumvent the Parliament's selfishness in selling out the colonies was a great opportunity for the European system at that time!

Xiao Letian looked at Gladstone and smiled faintly: "Prime Minister, it seems that A Madiao and I are both pacifists, we are willing to use money to solve the problem!"

"Do you have any objections?"
