"Gladstone's first requirement is that we Chinese people must recognize all treaties between the British Empire and the Qing Dynasty, and Chinese people cannot violate it!"

"Secondly, all Chinese ports must be open to the British fleet unconditionally, and the Royal Fleet has the right to rest and rest in any Chinese military port..."

"Third, British businessmen must have priority in trade in Chinese territory, such as tax reduction and investment priority, and the specific situation will be negotiated at that time..."

"Fourth, the British have legal immunity in Chinese. We British people only have judgment on crimes that the British Embassy can rule. Chinese laws cannot control our citizens..."

"Fifth, open up the financial industry, our British banks must set up branches in Chinese unconditionally..."

"Sixth, west of the Strait of Malacca, Chinese forces are prohibited from infiltration. Your warships must not pass through the Strait without our permission..."

Fang Guan repeated Gladstone's terms with a bitter face, and finally she said regretfully, "I don't think these six are the final conditions. Gladstone is very tough. When it comes to negotiations, God knows what else will make a cough request?"

With a loud bang, people turned their heads and saw that Luo Huo and Xiang Ying were slapped on the dining table at the same time. The two stood up together, "Shameless, you can speak with such conditions, it's simply shameless!"

Luo Huo's chest was as excited as a bellows. "Dog thing, then do we be the Qing dogs and Tartars? Why do we recognize the agreement they signed? Why do we have to let you park unconditionally in our military port?"

"I am willing to let you come in and shelter from the wind and rain, that's the kindness. If you don't want to, just go out!" Luo Huo had an extremely irritable temper and immediately exploded when he heard this shameless condition.

Xiang Ying couldn't stand such humiliation, "You still need judicial immunity? We Chinese land, foreigners can't interrogate them even if they commit crimes? What, what dogs..."

"It's not Victoria's bathtub west of Malacca, why don't we let us enter? The Head of State, such a person cannot communicate. He is just a minister of the finance department. He hasn't become the prime minister yet. What qualifications do he have to make requirements for us?"

Everyone suddenly became excited, "Yes, we can't agree to these conditions. We can listen to the yell when feeding the dogs for 2 million pounds. Let's take a look at the wagging tail, and we can't give them in vain..."

There was a huge uproar in the restaurant. Xiao Letian pressed his hands with his face for a long time, which made everyone feel much quieter.

"Why are you quarreling? You are all impatient and can't be a big shot!" Xiao Letian said coldly with his hands behind his back, "There is no difference between national negotiations and buying vegetables in the vegetable market for ordinary people. He asked for a lot of prices. Maybe we will pay back the money on the spot! What street should we scold?"

"Your anger can only reveal your disconfidence, because you subconsciously regard Britain as an opponent that is too powerful to bargain to resolve, so you overreact to these harsh conditions!"

"The noise cannot solve the problem. If you have anything to do, you have not spoken. Director Wang, you have not spoken. I'll listen to your opinions!"

Wang Huaiyuan's gloomy face frowned into the Sichuan word "I have no objection now. After all, Europe is a blind spot in our business. If you want to ask for opinions, it should be the prince who comes to get them..."

"I only have one question...First of the People's Republic of China, why do you bet on Gladstone? According to my information, Benjamin and the Queen are still very good. Can they really step down? Why should Glaston make him step down?"

"We haven't started negotiations with the British government. We just had contact with the leader of a party, and encountered such a huge asking price. I'm very worried... What kind of difficult situation will we encounter in negotiations with the UK in the future?"

Director Wang's concerns made everyone present silent. It is impossible to refute this. It is just that the leader of the Liberal Party has such a big appetite. What if it were the British government? Would it be more ruthless?

When Wang Huaiyuan was silent, the Wing King took over the topic, "Yes! Now we are looking for Britain, they will definitely ask for a lot of prices. Brother, do you think you can bargain on the spot? But I think it is impossible..."

"The old foxes in Britain have long analyzed our situation. After fighting the war against Tsarist Russia, they formed a life-and-death hatred with France. The financial resources of our Chinese people have been drained and they have no power to engage in another battle as intense as they are against Tsarist Russia..."

"The British are sure that we are at the weakest moment. They are very clear about their subtle roles. Now that Britain can help us, we can live. If we push us, we will be doomed!"

"I'm afraid that no one of the fruits of the previous victory will be kept by then!"

"Then do you have any good suggestions?" Xiao Letian asked.

"Suggestion? There is no suggestion. I just talk about the matter. The first way is to swallow my anger and promise all the conditions of the British and exchange our retreat for a way of survival. But it is really uncomfortable to live like that..."

"The second way, if we really cannot accept such acne conditions, I suggest suspending negotiations with Britain, and there is no need to stay in Britain. Let's set sail and go directly to Prussia, win the French-Prussian War, and use our victory to solve the biggest enemy of France..."

"As long as we deal with France, all the chess game will be alive. Tsarist Russia's power in the Far East has been wiped out by us at this moment. We will not be able to invest in heavy troops in the short term. We don't have to be afraid of him!"

"Both France and Tsarist Russia are no longer a threat. With Prussian support, it will be much easier for us to negotiate with the British. After all, we don't have to ask for it so much!"

The analysis of the Wing King was exchanged for a buzzing discussion. Everyone had to admit that the second option was indeed very feasible. It really eliminated the two old enemies of France and Tsarist Russia, so naturally Britain would have no excuse for blackmail.

But never expected that Xiao Letian pushed open the porthole with a wry smile, "You guys! I thought it was too simple..."
