    Regarding the question raised by Minister Power, Qin Kai actually had an answer for a long time. The British were on the decline. It can be said that no one in this era understands this better than himself. Although the British Empire is at its peak, although it has mastered the  As the largest industrial force in this era, however, the British are overly dependent on the development model of colonial dumping. In fact, the British are rapidly destroying their own future.

    Qin Kai would not make any suggestions or reminders about this. All he had to do was to take the opportunity into his own hands, but this made him make another decision that would shock the whole world. He said with deep meaning on his face  After looking at Power, he said calmly: "Minister Power, what does the British Empire need most? What do I think I can provide you with?"

    Although Bauer understood that Qin Kai had no intention of confronting the British Empire, he did not understand what kind of benefits Qin Kai was prepared to transfer. He thought about it and had to ask: "Prime Minister Qin, what do you mean  ¡­¡±

    "The Spaniards must get out of the Philippines and under Chinese rule, that land will become the largest temptation island in the Far East. Of course this is only for the British Empire! And we will ensure your country's trade  Under absolute protection!" Qin Kai smiled calmly, turning the Philippines into a self-indulgent port. This has actually been in Qin Kai's imagination. Sooner or later, the British will lose the power to control the Far East. Even now, if he  A tough confrontation with British maritime power is by no means impossible.

    However, when the British lose the Far East, China will also lose the market in Europe and even the Americas. As the leader of a wise country, now that the national industry is in the booming initial stage, it will never make such a huge bet easily.  Under your own leadership.  The increasingly large industrial system of Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian is bringing about diffuse industrial growth. The railway network expanding like a root system from Guangdong and Guangxi is rapidly expanding the power of industry to the surrounding areas.

    The Liaoyang Heavy Industrial Zone and Shanghai Industrial Zone that he started to write are also rapidly expanding on the basis of Nanyang industry. This explosive growth is giving the entire nation a new look with a power that cleanses the depths of the soul, and the military  Victory every time will make one's position indestructible and that of the whole country.  With his own strong intervention, he is quickly moving towards a clear and definite future Therefore, now he has full capital and the strength to show the wisdom accumulated by Far East China for thousands of years.

    Sure enough, Qin Kai¡¯s words.  Power's breathing immediately became rapid. In fact, Power did not know the specific intention of the Royal Far East Fleet's operation. It was not under his control as the minister to China, but was directly authorized by London. However, the empire tried to seek help in the Philippines.  greater good.  This is obviously a confirmed fact. Unless you are an idiot politician, you will never give up this opportunity.

    Of course, the current situation in the Far East.  It is no longer what those slapping politicians sitting in Buckingham Palace in London imagine. Those stupid guys are as reckless as Parkes who was eliminated earlier. If they are still facing those stupid Manchu bureaucrats.  Maybe such a move would work, the question is.  The opponent we are talking to now is the tough Chinese government that has defeated France, Russia, and Japan. It is obviously too ill-considered to make such a move Once the war breaks out, if the war cannot be resolved quickly, the loss to the empire will be  But it is calculated in tens of millions of pounds.

    "Dear Qin, I am sure that we have absolutely the same view on the issue of seducing Hong Kong" Ball took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and then continued: "However, I still want to remind you  , although your country has expressed sufficient sincerity, London may also make more demands!"

    Qin Kai laughed and said, "Minister Power, you won't think that these cooperation conditions I mentioned are provided by the Chinese government to your country for free. In exchange, we hope to obtain free trade from British India and the coast of Africa."  right!"

    Bauer frowned. In fact, he knew very well that the trade rights between India and Africa were just a piece of paper. In addition to producing opium and cotton in India, the local natives were stupid, and the nobles were even stupider. As for Africa  ¡­Besides the black people, there is only yellow sand left there!

    He really couldn't figure out why Qin Kai wanted the trade rights between these two places. The better choice was obviously relatively prosperous places like the Middle East and Egypt. However, although he heard that China's maritime trade was very prosperous now, silk and raw silk from the Far East  In the European market, French raw silk almost became a second-rate product. However, when compared with the maritime trade of the huge empire on which the sun never sets, it is obvious that there is only a huge gap between a cat and a tiger.

    "Dear Qin, I will communicate your suggestion with London immediately. I would like to implore you again and again to ensure that there will be no conflict between the Chinese Navy and the Royal Navy That will be a disaster for both parties!"  It can be seen that Ball showed full enthusiasm at this moment.Sincerity, he thought that after the two sides fought, the fruitful diplomatic results he had achieved today might be in vain, and he immediately stood up and left.

    At the door, he met his old friend Zeng Jize again, and immediately pulled the Chinese government diplomat to mutter a few words. When Qin Kai was making tea for Zeng Jize in the room, the high-spirited diplomat asked with a smile.  Said: "Liefeng, you just gave Bao Bao some ** medicine again. Why did he go out with such incoherent words?"

    "Marquis Zeng, I just gave the British reassurance. During the Philippine war, we only wanted territory, but our trade rights were fully open. In the past, the Spanish imposed a high tariff of more than 300%, which made it impossible for the British to transport a piece of cotton cloth.  Go in, do you think Bauer will be excited I guess he will go back and draft a report to express his merits!" Qin Kai laughed.

    Zeng Jize was stunned when he heard this. He was naturally aware of the concept of comprehensive opening up of trade. Earlier, Qin Kai had proposed to establish separate free ports in several important domestic ports to promote overseas trade industries. This industry was very important to the early domestic industry.  In fact, it has both advantages and disadvantages. After all, the cruel survival of the fittest in the market economy is not like the proactive growth of the Nanyang industrial system. However, if the domestic industry grows on this basis, it will definitely have strong vitality.

    As for why the Philippines, which was currently being fiercely contested, was listed as the most attractive port, he naturally understood that this was Qin Kai's profit-driven drive for the British to break with the worthless Japan. Thinking of the possible conspiracy behind this break, he  He couldn't help but look up at Qin Kai, who was concentrating on pouring tea for him

    "Gale Wind, Japanese Minister Keisuke Oshima submitted a peace proposal to us, willing to pay compensation for the Japanese fleet's bombardment of the Chinese fleet" At this point, he took out an official document and put it on the table, "This is the reply I drafted.  , see if it¡¯s suitable!¡±

    Qin Kai smiled slightly. This man was very comfortable in his position as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. During this period of negotiations with the Japanese, the Japanese were completely defeated. Even under his constant pressure, Little Japan now admitted that he  No bad thing has ever been donethat's a good sign!

    After unfolding the official document and looking at it, Qin Kai couldn't help but look strange. He originally proposed several articles of the treaty with Japan. The strongest one was undoubtedly the abolition of the Japanese emperor's dominance. Regarding this strange nation, he understood one thing and only wanted to  Only by shaving their faces severely can they make them listen to you seriously Of course, everything is based on the power of the giant ship's cannon!

    "Marquis Zeng, news came from the Ministry of Military Affairs that a fierce conflict broke out between the Spaniards and the Japanese Army in Catalan. It is obvious that the Japanese Army Ministry is not willing to accept the defeat at sea. They are trying to open up a larger control area in the Philippines But so  Does it make sense? Of course, this may be more meaningful to us!" Qin Kai said this with a slightly sarcastic tone, turning to the front of the map, a little below Manila Bay, "The Pacific Fleet is still operating here.  If nothing else happens, they will soon completely change control of the Philippines!"

    Zeng Jize naturally understood the meaning behind Qin Kai's words. Little Japan is now a cripple with a broken leg, but he stubbornly refuses to admit defeat. Now he comes to him to negotiate a peace agreement. It is really ridiculous. However,  The ground war that the Japanese continue in the Philippines will eventually use up the last bit of the Japanese savings. Obviously, Qin Liefeng will not let go of such an opportunity!

    "Liefeng, when are you considering issuing that ultimatum to the Japanese?"

    "Wait a minute. You can follow up with Bauer at any time. In addition to the sovereignty of the Philippines, you can discuss other interests with the British. We are not afraid of going to war with the British, but we are not willing to fight a war that will hurt both sides Now is the time  It's time to clean up your own backyard, don't mess up your rhythm!" Qin Kai smiled slightly.

    Later that day, Keisuke Oshima, the Japanese Minister to China, proudly sent an urgent message to the country. He reported to Hirobumi Ito, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet who had just succeeded Aritomo Yamagata, that he had proposed to the Chinese government to launch a Japanese naval bombardment case.  During the investigation, there was a temporary truce between China and Japan. After his mediation, the Chinese government has begun to consider this issue. In his view, there is hope for at least temporary peace.

    As a result, when this report was placed in front of Hirobumi Ito, he was scolded by the telegram that Ito immediately sent back. The Japanese navy was completely destroyed. There is still no accurate and clear report on the battle situation, but the Chinese and British took the lead at the same time.  The big hat of shelling, which directly led to the collapse of Shanxian Youtoo's cabinet!

    However, these high-level Japanese officials are naturally not fools. This is clearly an unfathomable pit. The Japanese Navy jumped into it without hesitation, but they cannot allow themselves to become blind and fools. Although the Japanese Navy is in Japan and  They suffered heavy losses in the Battle of the West Sea, but the annihilation of such a huge fleet cannot be explained by coincidence. After that, China zhThe tough attitude put forward by eng fu made it clear to Ito that what Qin Kai wanted was for Japan to perish and had no intention of living in peace with Japan!
