"His Excellency Foreign Minister, can we change the current dangerous situation through some diplomatic efforts?" asked Sir John Russell, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. After the meeting, Sir John Russell left Viscount Henry Temple alone. Before, Sir John Russell thought he could defeat the Chinese Empire in Myanmar, so he had never thought of using other methods at all. But now it seems that the performance of the British * army was too bad, which made Sir John Russell disappointed and also had to find other ways to solve the predicament. Otherwise, the unlucky one would not be the cabinet of this term. Sir John Russell would not want to step down in shame.

Foreign Minister Henry Temple frowned and thought about it, and then said, "Prime Minister, this is almost impossible. When we were at the upper hand, we proposed to withdraw the Chinese from Myanmar, but they were rejected by the Chinese. Now that the Chinese have reversed the situation and have gained the upper hand on the battlefield of Myanmar, they have no reason to withdraw their troops from Myanmar."

Sir John Russell nodded and then asked, "What if we two families divide Myanmar equally? In this way, neither of us will losers and we can get a win-win result."

"Square Myanmar? This is a good proposal. However, I think the possibility of the Chinese agreeing is still very small. The Chinese have always been very greedy. Especially when dealing with the land, the Chinese may have regarded Myanmar as their prey, otherwise they would not have left their established target Thailand and directly sent troops to attack Myanmar. Now, the Chinese have only invested less than 100,000 troops in Myanmar and have already gained the upper hand. There will definitely be a large number of them in the future.

Chinese troops will be put into Myanmar. At this time, they will definitely not agree to our proposal. Unless we withdraw from Myanmar, the battle will continue to be fought!" said Viscount Henry Temple. After several dealings with the Chinese Empire, he understood the foreign policy of the Chinese Empire clearly. Many times, he believed that the Chinese Empire valued interests more than the capitalist powers in the West, and was willing to do anything to gain the greatest benefit.

"We withdraw troops from Myanmar? This is absolutely impossible. We have suffered tens of thousands of casualties now. If we withdraw troops from Myanmar at this time, the opposition parties will definitely jump up and down the parliament and initiate an impeachment proposal against us. We cannot give them excuses." Sir John Russell said. Their cabinet of this term came to power. Isn't it just by impeaching the previous term? He doesn't want to be driven out of the Prime Minister's Office in the same way. Therefore, the British army will never take the initiative to withdraw troops from Myanmar, and you can't even think about this.

"His Excellency Foreign Minister, let the Embassy in China and the Chinese Empire have a contact! If the Irrawaddy River is bounded, the West belongs to Britain and the East belongs to the Chinese Empire. In this way, they have already taken a big advantage. If the Chinese agree, then we will end the war. If they disagree, then fight to the end. After all, now they are just a little bit of the upper hand. It is not so easy to defeat us!" said Sir John Russell. This is the most harsh condition he can accept.

"Okay, Prime Minister, I'll give it a try. However, I have to tell you that the chance of success is very small. Most Chinese people will not agree." Foreign Minister Viscount Henry Temple said. If it were him, he would definitely not make peace with the enemy under the prevailing situation.

"Well! Thank you for your hard work!" said Sir John Russell. The current mood of Sir John Russell can be said to be very complicated. Originally, Viscount Henry Temple, the Foreign Minister, proposed to form an alliance with Thailand to deal with the Chinese Empire. However, Sir John Russell thought that doing this would be too risky and would affect the cabinet if it failed. Sir Thomas Grosvenor, the Secretary of the Army, looked relatively risky and had a high possibility of success. Sir John Russell also hoped to further improve his reputation through a war so as to ensure that he could win again in the next election and be re-election.

Yes, wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel. As soon as Britain launched a war against Myanmar, the Chinese Empire immediately announced its troops to Myanmar. Even after Britain destroyed Myanmar, the Chinese Empire refused to withdraw its troops. This forced Britain to start a direct confrontation with China. Originally, Sir John Russell thought that even if they fought against the Chinese Empire, Britain would not have no chance of winning. After all, in terms of military strength and supplies, the British army had to have some advantages. However, after the Battle of Yangon, the three most elite troops of the British army were killed half. Although the British and Indian troops were not damaged at all, were those Indians and Ah Sans of the Chinese Empire? Sir John Russell would not believe it.

"Your Excellency, don't worry too much. God will bless the British Empire!" said Viscount Henry Temple.

"Well, God is with us!" said Sir John Russell. However, Myanmar is located in the east, and it seems that it is not God's territory! Besides, since it faced the Chinese Empire, God seems to have no effect at all.

"Prime Minister, let's talk about it, this war has been limited to Myanmar from the beginning. Whether we or the Chinese, we do not want to evolve into a full-scale war. Even if we are defeated, we can still retreat to India, and the losses will not be too great. If it works well, we may be able to overcome this difficulty." Viscount Henry Temple said.

"Well, I understand. Mr. Foreign Minister, hurry up and contact the Chinese! I hope the Chinese don't have to be too greedy and stop when they are better." Sir John Russell said.

Looking at Sir John Russell's appearance that seemed to have lost his fighting spirit, Viscount Henry Temple had to sigh and leave the Prime Minister's House.

Far East, the Chinese Empire, Guangzhou, and the British Embassy in China.

Sir Wen Xian, the British ambassador to China, stood in front of the window on the second floor of the embassy, ​​with the Chinese people marching on the street outside, with a gloomy face. The major newspapers of the Chinese Empire all posted the front page headlines that the Chinese army won the victory in the Battle of Yangon. In this battle, at least 50,000 elite British army was wiped out, which was also an amazing victory for the Chinese Empire. After the news was reported, the people in Guangzhou City spontaneously held a victory celebration parade, and the marched teams deliberately passed through the embassy area of ​​Xiguan. Especially when passing by the British Embassy in China, there were often shocking cheers in the crowd, as if deliberately stimulating the British in the embassy.

"Damn yellow-skinned monkeys, you just won a victory by chance. Is it necessary to be so happy? Soon, the heroic British Empire army will beat you all over the ground. Let's see how you can laugh!" Sir Wenxian said gritting his teeth.

China in 1845, to be precise, was essentially different from that of the Chinese Empire a few years ago. In provinces south of the Yangtze River, the Chinese Empire invested huge sums of money to develop transportation and people's livelihood. Through large-scale immigration to South China and Australia, redeemed land from landlords, and distributed it to farmers without land and with little land, which basically solved the problem of food and clothing for the general public. In addition, the rapid development of industry and commerce, a large number of people left the countryside and entered the city to work, which greatly stimulated the economic development. The entire Chinese Empire was developing thriving. At the same time, the national self-confidence and self-esteem were constantly improving. In them, there was no despair, confusion and numbness when they were defeated in the Opium War. This nation that had been in decline for hundreds of years finally showed vitality again.

"Your Excellency, this is a telegram sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" At this moment, the secretary came over and handed a telegram to Sir Wenxian.

After reading the telegram, Sir Wen Xian's brows were already frowning tightly. Only then did he realize that the bad situation in Myanmar seemed to be beyond his expectations.

"Has the battle situation in Myanmar reached an irreversible level? Or are the guys in the cabinet already scared by the Chinese?" Sir Wen Xian murmured. Although the British army lost more than 50,000 elite troops in this battle in Yangon, Sir Wen Xian believed that the main force of the British army was still there and could continue to fight against the Chinese army. Now he wanted to end the war through diplomatic means. Isn't this taking the initiative to put his face up and let the Chinese slap them hard?

However, this was an order from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Sir Wen Xian had no other way and had to follow it.

"Come on, come and have an appointment with the Foreign Minister of the Chinese Empire, Lin Zihao, for me. I will visit him tonight!" Sir Wen Xian said. The Chinese Empire and Britain are fighting, and all countries are also paying attention to this war. If the British ambassador to China goes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, it will definitely cause speculation from various countries. For this reason, Sir Wen Xian chose to visit Lin Zihao at night. In this case, maybe it would be a little more obvious.

"Yes, Your Excellency Minister!" The secretary hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

"Oh! Is the Chinese Empire really the nemesis of the British Empire?" Sir Wen Xian couldn't help asking. Once upon a time, when the predecessor of the Chinese Empire, Xinhua Kingdom, was just a small country in Nanyang, Sir Wen Xian did not take such a small country seriously at all. However, the Chinese Empire has grown into a giant that can make the British Empire bow its head. (To be continued...)
