The British cabinet finally survived the worst stage. Although the opposition party attacked the ruling party, the Conservatives could not attack too much. Because after the opposition party came to power, it was afraid that it could only reach the same level as the Baldwin government. Britain would decide who to cooperate with based on its own national interests. China is only an important decisive force in the Far East, and Britain could not build a close relationship with China now.

If the Baldwin government does that, it will definitely be attacked by the opposition party. If the opposition party does this, it will also be attacked by the Conservative Party to which Baldwin belongs.

The opposition parties can only start with the Baldwin government's ineffective intelligence collection, but this problem is not lethal. How much intelligence work should be done? Should we install spies within the Chinese and French governments? Even if there are really spies, it is impossible to speak publicly.

In addition, the Baldwin government immediately strengthened the collection of He Rui's itinerary in Europe. On February 15, He Rui arrived in Italy to visit. The Italian Prime Minister went to greet him in person, and the Italian king personally held a banquet for He Rui.

On February 18, He Rui left Italy and arrived in Germany on the 21st. British newspapers immediately began to promote this, striving to make France feel dissatisfied with He Rui. However, the British newspapers were disappointed. The French did not feel dissatisfied with Germany, but as a victorious country, France's mentality was completely different from the strong revenge after the French-Prussian War. Moreover, Germany is indeed a European power, and there is nothing to blame for He Rui when he visits Germany. The French people were unhappy, but they did not feel dissatisfied with He Rui because of this. French newspapers also reported the matter with a calm tone and no provocation, which largely neutralized the British newspaper's fanning flames.

After He Rui finished his visit to Germany, he would visit the UK. It was about February 25th. The UK launched an intelligence force in Germany and soon obtained a very public itinerary. After He Rui met with the German President and Prime Minister, when he met with the German Chancellor, the German Minister of Education was also present.

On February 23, news about education cooperation between China and Germany was released. According to the agreement, China will invest in a cooperative research project in Germany to conduct research on the education system of modern industrial countries. China even took out £3 million as the first phase of the project's investment.

The francs are continuing to appreciate now, and the exchange rate with the pound is about 100:13 million pounds, which is 300 million francs. He Rui borrowed 10 billion francs in the first stage, and his investment in Germany was 3% of the loan. But France did not respond fiercely at all, and the UK could not say anything. Everyone thinks there is something tricky in this money, but no one can figure out what is going on now. Moreover, for their own reasons, Britain and France do not want to expose this matter.

There is indeed something tricky about this money. China and Germany have a secret memorandum in this "education system research fund". Germany provides China with some military industrial technology that France is unwilling to provide to China. This part of the technology transfer is not unacceptable to France. Even if France is immersed in friendship with China, the French government cannot provide China with some cutting-edge military technology, such as submarines.

Compared with France, Germany's military industry is completely limited, and many excellent military industrial technologies can only be sealed. Instead of gradually scrapping those technologies, it is better to sell them for money.

On February 24, the UK thought He Rui would go to the UK, but she didn't expect He Rui to take the train to the Netherlands. The 1928 Olympics will be held in Amsterdam from May 17 to August 12, and China participated in this Olympics. The early delegation staff had arrived in Amsterdam.

He Rui visited the Netherlands and was warmly welcomed by the Dutch government. When He Rui met with the Dutch King and the Prime Minister, he had sufficient exchanges on the colonial issues and trade issues between China and the Netherlands. After the formal meeting, He Rui also went to the Chinese delegation's residence and gave condolences to the early arrivals. He hoped that through their efforts, the Chinese delegation could quickly recover from its physical condition after arriving in Amsterdam and achieve good results in the Olympics.

It was not until the morning of February 27 that He Rui ended his visit to the Netherlands and took a boat to the United Kingdom...

At noon that day, He Rui's warship appeared at the British port and was immediately warmly welcomed by the British government. When He Rui and his group landed, a royal golden carriage was already waiting outside the port. This was the top treatment of the UK, and the UK's attitude towards China was self-evident.

Everything went smoothly afterwards. After a lot of diplomatic etiquette, we ate a banquet hosted by the British king. The British emphasis on He Rui was demonstrated through this process. On February 28, He Rui finally met with Prime Minister Baldwin.

Both China and Britain have spoken in newspapers. Baldwin said that after defeating China, He Rui would arrest He Rui and parade in India. He Rui said that China would stay with him as long as the British fights. He must wipe out the British and Indian governments, destroy the British and Indian governments, and liberate India from the colonial state.

But after meeting, the two shook hands as cordially as old friends and greeted each other. Baldwin even said frankly, "China and Britain have a history of setting up embassies for 200 years, and the tragic events in the middle are all caused by poor communication and understanding. I hope that China and Britain can communicate more in the future and no longer let the tragedy happen."

He Rui agreed, but he didn't agree with it. He Rui had no good feelings for the UK. So no matter how correct Baldwin said, He Rui was judged from reason without any emotional resonance.

The two then had an exchange. Regarding Baldwin's proposed Sino-UK financial cooperation, He Rui frankly stated, "China is a country that is trustworthy. At this stage, China is happy to see Sino-UK cooperation. Whether it is financial cooperation or investment, the Chinese government will support it. However, this support cannot affect the agreement between China and France."

Even if he was rejected so clearly, Baldwin did not express his displeasure. If He Rui did not do this, Baldwin would really look down on He Rui. But there must be no less temptations. Baldwin asked: "In other words, the francs will become the preferred currency for the Chinese government's foreign trade. From a financial perspective, this is not beneficial to China's international trade."

"Mr. Prime Minister, this matter is something that cannot be discussed." He Rui replied decisively.

Seeing that He Rui's attitude was so clear, Baldwin talked about the most-favored-nation issue of China-British War. After the end of the Sino-British War, although the two countries had three joint communiqués, the implementation process was not fast. This cannot be completely blamed on the British government. The Sino-British War caused hundreds of thousands of casualties to Britain, and the captured ANZE Legion was being tried in the International Court of Asia, about 192

Baldwin looked very tired and his tone was also tired. He Rui could understand how much pressure the British Prime Minister was, who was desperately paying back the money. Even in the UK, it was very difficult to repay billions of pounds of debt. From an economic perspective, currency is the blood in the blood vessels of the economy, and repaying war loans is equivalent to blood draw. If a person is drawn with blood, it will lead to physical weakness. If the economy is drawn with blood, it will also lead to weakness.

If you want to increase your own hematopoietic ability, you have to expand your economic scale. China is still far from modernization now, and although it is poor, it has huge room for improvement. The UK is a very developed industrial country. If you want to expand your economic scale, you can only rely on new technological breakthroughs.

Where would the technological breakthroughs in human society be easily seen? In He Rui's original time and space, although Britain participated in the subsequent information technology revolution and computer technology revolution, and even was at the forefront of the world in the development of genetic technology. However, Britain failed to seize any technological revolution and made Britain the leader of the technology. Therefore, Britain's relative decline has been declining for 100 years since 1928, and is still in a relatively declining state.

It can be seen that Prime Minister Baldwin is trying his best to reverse the process. He Rui just doesn't know whether Prime Minister Baldwin is really clear. He is just a papermaker and does not make much use of his efforts. However, He Rui didn't ask in the end. After all, Britain was still the world overlord at this time, and Baldwin could not imagine that Britain would lose its qualification as a world overlord. Naturally, he could not understand that what he did was useless.

After all, what He Rui thinks is "useless" refers to Britain's efforts to maintain the world's hegemony.

The real field of cooperation between China and the UK is in security at this stage, so Prime Minister Baldwin turned the topic to naval construction after exploring other areas. "Mr. Chairman, by 1933, the second phase of negotiations on the Washington Naval Treaty will begin. China, as a force to stabilize the Far East, needs to build its own naval power. Britain believes that China should have enough share."

Unlike the perfunctory things before, He Rui replied frankly this time: "I agree with the Prime Minister's view. However, China's shipbuilding ability is still weak. At all stages, we have no plans to build a ocean-going navy. But by the second phase of 1933, we China will seek a reasonable share based on our shipbuilding ability."

Baldwin was very disappointed. He Rui's answer meant that China should work hard to develop its shipbuilding capabilities. Britain hoped to control China's shipbuilding capabilities in the hands of Britain. But China is a great power with complete sovereignty, and Britain cannot force China to accept Britain's "good intention".

Even so, Baldwin did not give up completely. "Britain has been helping China's naval construction, especially in the training of naval officers, for a long time. The UK is still willing to provide comprehensive assistance to China."

He Rui smiled and said, "I understand these things. Some of the officers of our Navy are now students of the British Naval School. So we look forward to conducting further exchanges with the UK for naval personnel."

Baldwin could only barely express his pleasure in such exchanges, but he was quite disappointed. He Rui's answer was very clear that China would not accept the training of basic naval personnel for China. It is not that the teaching level of the current British naval schools is worse than that of China. Instead, the basic naval education provided by the UK determines that the naval personnel receiving these education will be greatly influenced by the UK.

If He Rui wants to build a naval force that belongs entirely to China, the training of basic naval personnel must be completely consistent with the pace of the development of the Chinese naval force. Naturally, there is no reason for Britain to help with the training. As for naval personnel exchanges, it is to provide outstanding naval officers who have received their own naval education to gain knowledge outside, rather than investing in the British Navy's education system.

At this time, Baldwin found that the content he prepared had basically been discussed. He asked the secretary to bring tea in and chat with He Rui while drinking, "I wonder what arrangements Mr. Chairman has today?"

He Rui replied readily: "Today I want to accept an exclusive interview with BBC. The British journalist has a high level, and I always feel that I will suffer all kinds of difficulties. I wonder if you have any suggestions first?"

When Baldwin heard about British journalists, he could only smile, and his smile was helpless. British journalists would not only make things difficult for He Rui, but also the British Prime Minister Baldwin would also be difficult for him during the interview. In this kind of thing, everyone is equally serious and there is no need to laugh at others.

After chatting for a while, He Rui stood up and said, "Mr. Prime Minister, I will say goodbye first."

Baldwin stood up, "I'll listen to the interview you've been on BBC."
