Cecil? Rhodes was the current British Colonial Secretary, a staunch British colonialist. The CEO of Kimberley Ore Company, Kimberley Diamond Company, sat in a car with a gloomy face, passing through the streets of London.
August is a relatively sunny month for most countries in the northern hemisphere, but the situation in the United Kingdom is relatively special. As a country with only humid and even more humid environments, coupled with the smog caused by industrial smoke and dust, it was still difficult to see the sun in August.
The place that the Colonial Secretary, Lord Rhodes, was passing by was a Taoist temple in China. At the entrance of the Taoist temple, there was a 'Taoist apprentice' wearing a Chinese Taoist robe cleaning. Perhaps it was because of the mixed blood of the Romans, the facial contours of the British were not as deep as the pure Germanic countries in Northern Europe. Even so, Sir Rhodes could still see that those 'Taoist trainees' were British and not Chinese.
This group of British 'Taoist trainees' made Cecil's name change. Rhodes felt very unhappy in his heart. The British upper echelons were very concerned about China's missionary activities. Members of Parliament had repeatedly asked the department that monitored China's missionary activities to question Parliament. However, the result of the inquiry surprised the councilman. China's Taoism did not have any personality gods, nor did it have any coercion or threats. Taoism is not so much a religion as a school of philosophy. In particular, the symmetrical and mutually transforming philosophy in the Eight Trigrams pattern of "extreme Yin produces Yang, and extreme Yang produces Yin" made many learned British parliamentarians secretly nod their heads.
Daoism did not create gods, nor did it have the end of the world, nor did it have the cycle of life and death. This attitude made the bunch of fakes extremely dissatisfied, but it also made many British intellectuals who were 'educated,' 'uninterested in religion,' and 'interested in mysticism' flock like ducks. According to the spies who infiltrated churches in China, the difference between Chinese churches and European churches was that, in addition to providing ideological enlightenment, there were also many Chinese -style teachings on herbs, meditation, and dance-style boxing. This made the group of people who went to the China Church feel that it was a rewarding experience. This undoubtedly led to more people going to the church in China.
Not far from the China Church was the China Hospital, and not far from the China Embassy. This was Rhodes's destination. The China Embassy was heavily guarded. Recently, there had been several acts of violence against the China Embassy. Although there were injuries, they were not serious. In addition, the British had sent a lot of military police to protect them, so China did not withdraw its embassy. In addition to the violence, there were protests almost every day. Therefore, in addition to the British police carefully checking the passes, the Chinese authorities also carefully checked the passes before letting Cecil Wilson enter. Rhodes's car went in.
He met with China's ambassador to the UK, Cecil. Rhodes went straight to the point. "What are you doing in Pittsburgh?"
"Oh?" The Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom responded in surprise at first, and then said, "We think that the US believes that it's impossible to expect the US Federal Army to be evenly matched with our Communist Army in the field. The UA Army, which was flanked on two sides, rushed into Pittsburgh and could rely on the city to restrain our troops. No matter what others thought, Minister Lincoln junior hoped for defense. He had to hold on until there was a chance to turn the situation around. So, from this strategic point of view, there is no reason for us to let Lil 'Lin get what he wants. "
Cecil? Rhodes rolled his eyes after listening and asked in a disdainful tone, "Is this the view of your central government, or your own view?"
After being exposed, the Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom acted as if nothing had happened. "Of course, this is my personal view. But I believe that my personal view will also be recognized by our central government. "
China's officials were so shameless. Rhodes was not angry. He went straight to the purpose of this visit, "I want to know, what is your country planning to do? If you just want to punish the United States, I believe you have achieved your goal. Don't you think it's time to enter the traditional mode of power coordination? "
"What do you mean, sir?" the Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom asked with a puzzled expression.
Cecil? Rhodes immediately explained, "I mean, we, the United Kingdom, can come forward and contact the United States so that everyone can reach a minimum loss. Ending the war is a good thing for everyone. "
"Can you persuade the Americans to accept the goal we mentioned before?" the Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom asked.
"What target?" Cecil asked. Cecil? Rhodes's expression became vigilant.
The Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom said sternly, "We said before that we want to establish an Indian country. We want the Americans to enter the 'white people's protected area' in the Indian country. It's only been a few days since these statements were made. I didn't expect you to forget it so quickly. "
"You want to completely destroy the United States?" Cecil? Rhodes's expression became very, very, very ugly.
The Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom made his expression look gentler. He said, "If you don't agree with this plan, I can tell you another plan on behalf of our government. The United Kingdom can send troops to attack the United States, and we can let the United Kingdom occupy the area east of the Appalachian Mountains. How about it? If the United Kingdom recaptures the thirteen states of North America, with the fertility of the land east of the Appalachian Mountains and the abundance of products, the entire United Kingdom can become a continental country in the blink of an eye. We can establish an advantage over Europe for the next two hundred years. "
This was the condition that Vézé had clearly told the Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom, so when the Ambassador said it, his voice, tone, and demeanor had the unique persuasive and infectious power of telling the truth. This made Cecil? Rhodes subconsciously swallowed his saliva. He picked up the teacup and took two sips of black tea with sugar added. After calming down, he reluctantly said, "We won't believe that the Chinese will be so lenient to the United Kingdom. If we recapture the thirteen states, we will be the public enemy of Europe … "
"Then the cooperation between the United Kingdom and the Osman Empire will be the savior of Europe? Let's talk about the long term. The Osman Empire has almost destroyed Europe several times and is recognized as a major threat to Europe. Back then, the United Kingdom also responded to the Pope's call to go on an expedition to the Middle East. Now, Russia and Austria-Hungary want to dismember the Osman Empire more thoroughly, and the United Kingdom is supporting the Osman Empire from behind. Is it to uphold the common interests of Europe? "The Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom smiled as he recounted the history and reality.
These words were for Cecil, who had always hoped to recapture the United States. Rhodes had a strong power of bewitchment, so Cecil Rhodes forcibly clenched his hands, resisting the temptation to seize the area east of the Appalachian Mountains. When he spoke again, his voice was full of pain. "No, we can't trust China. If we trust you, and we don't have the ability to force you to fulfill the agreement. Then we will be too blind to participate in the war. "
"If that's what you think, then please watch us establish an Indian country." The Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom still had a smile on his face, and his tone was still gentle.
