In diplomatic occasions, every detail can reveal many unknown secrets, but you must be an expert to understand the language that has no voice on both sides.

The British government, or Benjamin, does not recognize that the Chinese people are an independent country at this moment. Even if the Ryukyu Kingdom has already dedicated its territory and sovereignty and incorporated into the Chinese people, the British will not recognize it.

This is indeed very unreasonable. The Chinese have all the basic elements that a country must have, at this moment, land, population, government, culture, language, religion, army...

He has all countries, and even some small countries do not have them, he has them. But in this way, he has not been recognized by the United Kingdom. Until now, the United Kingdom announced that the Chinese people are just an organization, a paramilitary organization, which can be observed but cannot be recognized.

As for the recognition of Prussia, Austria, Italy and Asian countries, it is meaningless to the British Empire. I say that if you are not a country, you are not a country.

This is very difficult to deal with. Britain still does not recognize the statement of Ryukyu's escape from the vassal state and still regards Ryukyu as a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, which caused great trouble to Xiao Letian in carrying out diplomatic activities.

This time when I came to Europe, fighting is of course a very important task, and the second important task is of course to be recognized in English. At least a memorandum must be signed.

Britain was too powerful in this era, and its comprehensive strength was even stronger than that of the 21st century America. Although America in later generations was awesome, it was previously restricted by the Soviet Union, and then there were challenges from the Third World and developing countries.

In terms of unilateral strength and weakness, Britain is now far ahead of America in the 21st century.

The foreign policy of many countries must be based on the attitude of the UK. There are many countries that rely on the British. In other words, if the UK does not recognize the Chinese, then most countries in the world will not recognize the Chinese.

This is very difficult to deal with. If the other party does not admit that you are an independent country, then many countries’ business cannot be negotiated, many strategic cooperation cannot be carried out, and you can’t even enter certain regions.

Not to mention extensive commercial trade exchanges and financial transactions, large European banks cannot connect with Chinese banks, and many bulk trades cannot be carried out at all.

Let me be clear: global precious metal trade has now been monopolized by European countries. If you want to trade precious metals such as gold and silver, you must negotiate with European governments.

For example, gold trade, small transactions within 10,000 or 20,000 ounces may turn a blind eye to the UK. If your purchase volume exceeds 50,000 ounces, governments in various countries will definitely intervene as soon as possible.

Including the silver trade that was very prosperous at Ryukyu, it was only carried out with the secret support of the United States. Silver is not gold after all, and currencies such as pounds, US dollars, francs and other currencies are locked in gold, which gave Xiao Letian an opportunity to join in.

This is because the United States has made such a hole in view of the explosive growth of global silver production. Otherwise, let alone the silver in North America, even if it is silver in Mexico and silver in South America and Chile, you, Xiao Lotte, will not be lucky.

The difficulty of governing the country is not something that ordinary people can imagine, idealism is undesirable!

The people who understood the Zhiyuan were secretly counting the number of salutes. After the nineteen salutes dedicated to the Chinese clan fired, the Chinese senior executives present looked ugly, and many people even turned their hostile eyes to the Duke of Newcastle, but the old Duke of Fox didn't care about this hostility at all. He had long stood by the little emperor.

"Your Majesty, the ship has already docked. Please prepare to get off the boat... On the dock is the welcome ceremony of the British government, and Prime Minister Benjamin is waiting in person..."

"Your speech yesterday was so exciting. Today we specially invited reporters from famous newspapers in Europe to wait here. There are more than 60 people. They are all looking forward to your wonderful speech..."

Zai Chun smiled, "Dear Duke, you really have a problem for me. I haven't prepared a few speeches for this trip to Europe. You want to read my joke..."

"Where are there... Last night in the manor, you handled it easily in front of many guests. You have a mature and experienced master who is not commensurate with your age. It is not a problem for you on the spot. You are too modest..."

Xiao Letian almost spit on the faces of these two people. It was so shameless. This apprentice was really good. He stole the master's speech and could not change his face. He looked at the British man's face and talked with me yesterday. Once the business was negotiated, he immediately went to hug Zaichun's calves.

They are all born politicians, and their skin is born with thickness and do not require post-exercise.

At this time, the hull of Zhiyuan suddenly shook slightly. Under the push of the barge, the hull of Zhiyuan finally touched the solid pier. Then the sailors threw the thick cables to the dock. The experienced British sailors on the shore took the cables and tied them neatly.

The gangway was also set up, and the bands on the scene began to play music. The cheerful welcome music immediately set off the atmosphere to a fixed point. The reporters who had been waiting for a long time had already pressed the shutter of the camera before the Chinese guests stepped on the gangway.

"Here comes out... His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Empire is out..."

The crowd exclaimed. In the eyes of everyone's attention, Zai Chun, who was under the flag umbrella, finally stepped onto the gangway. The scene was in full swing. All the government officials and members of parliament who were watching the ceremony, including the people around them, all applauded.

Senior officials of this Ming and other government even took off their hats and bowed to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty ninety degrees!

The bonus of China's three thousand years of civilization is really too powerful. The title of Chinese emperor is more noble than that of any European emperor.

Not to mention bowing to Zaichun ninety degrees, it is actually worth it to kneel down on one knee to welcome him. If it was before the two Opium Wars, if China's halo was not covered with dust, if the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty came to Britain, these high-ranking officials would really have to kneel down on one knee, just like kneeling to the queen.

Zai Chun took a deep breath. He looked at the gentleman who bowed closely and countless ladies who performed curtsy, and secretly sighed in his heart, "It is my honor to be born in China, and it is my luck to be born in China as an emperor in China... All the stormy empires can get such courtesy..."

"So what about the empire that will revive in my hands in the future? What kind of glory can it get? I dare not think about it, I really dare not think about it..."

Every step taken by Aisin Gioro Zaichun was extremely heavy. He dared not take a wrong step because he knew that from now on, every step was the first part of history.
