Tianjin Port.{.

The reception scale in China is much smaller,

iBook, Hobart meets Emperor Meiji in the port meaning

i Most of the members of the cabinet, but in Tianjin, only Chinese Foreign Minister Pei Ji came to receive it, if it weren't for himself

I sent a telegram to China during the i-book, and I'm afraid even the Chinese Foreign Minister will not see it. This is the comparison of national strength!

I was afraid of the United States, but China was not afraid at all. Thinking about it, he was a vice president after all, but in China he couldn't even see the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Hobart felt very unhappy. If it weren't for the political mission, he would have turned around and left now. The Chinese Navy had only come to welcome him with two cute-class cruisers, which seemed to be more important than

I book is much better, but who doesn't know

I don't have any warships that can be used to at all now.

Hobart also learned that the Chinese Foreign Minister is not a member of the cabinet. I really don’t know what the Chinese cabinet is doing. Is this a constitutional monarchy?

With

I am different. Navy officers such as Hobart and George Dewey were received separately, all because

iThe navy has no ship that can be seen.

On the back seat of the BMW V-type, Pei Ji asked very directly: "I wonder what is the main purpose of Mr. Hobart's visit to our country?" Generally, the dialogue between officials is relatively tactful, but sometimes it is also a skill.

Hobart was very unhappy with the Chinese Foreign Minister. Because this guy always called himself "Mr. Hobart", can't he call him Vice President? This guy is simply ignoring his position! This is simply despising himself! Although he was very unhappy, Hobart still kept smiling and said, "I came to China to improve the relationship between the United States and China." Humph. As a gentleman, I don't care about you barbarians who don't understand etiquette! Hobart thought to himself.

"Oh? It would be great if the United States is really willing to improve diplomatic relations with our country!" Pei Ji said happily.

Pei Ji chose to welcome Hobart at Wanghailou, Tianjin. Seeing Hobart eating food, Pei Ji wondered if he had starved to death in his previous life. He looked like he was greedy and didn't look like a gentleman.

Although Hobart doesn't know how to use chopsticks, Wanghailou has large toothpicks that cut the chopsticks' mouth, so he can tie up the dishes and put them into his mouth. These dishes are so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious dishes before. I really don't know how these Chinese people can make such delicious dishes.

Hobart saw that Pei Ji didn't eat it, but just looked at him and realized that he had lost his composure. He smiled and said, "Sorry, these dishes are so delicious that you can laugh at me."

"Haha, it's okay. If Mr. Hobart likes to eat, I'll order some more." Pei Ji said.

"Okay, OK!"

Pei Ji whispered a few words to the secretary, and then the secretary came out of the private room. After a while, someone sent a few dishes. Pei Ji started to do it himself. Compared to the way Hobart was greedy, Pei Ji was too gentle to be more gentle.

After dinner, a man walked in from outside and said to Pei Ji: "Minister, the emperor said that he would take the foreign devils to the capital in two days, and he would talk to him in person."

Pei Ji nodded and turned to Hobart and said, "Mr. Hobart, the emperor will personally receive you in two days to discuss matters between the two countries."

"Emperor Qin (Emperor Qin) wants to discuss with me personally? Oh, that's great, that's why..." Hobart did not say "conforms to my status".

..

..

"What's that?" Pei Ji asked.

"Nothing! Nothing!"

"Well, then I'll take Mr. Hobart to visit Tianjin today!"

Dagu Fort ruins.

"Major Deng, aren't you planning to rebuild this turret?" George Dewey asked, pointing to the cannon barrel in the ruins.

"This...I really don't know. But the Admiralty Department does not have such a budget." Deng Shichang said.

"Well, if it is not rebuilt, it would be a pity. Build a fort here and you can completely get the entrance to the river!"

Deng Shichang said: "Not necessarily, this place was bombarded by the Queen of Hawaii. The powerful firepower of the Queen of Hawaii can already reach here on the coast!"

"Is the fire control system? Humph! The United States will also have it soon!" George Dewey thought to himself.

Two days later, Qin Ge met with US Vice President Hobart in the Summer Palace.

The two walked in the corridor by Kunming Lake, talking and laughing.

Qin Ge asked, "What does Mr. Hobart think of this place?"

"It's beautiful, it's beautiful!" The English vocabulary is single. Apart from beauty, Hobart can't think of other words. I've seen many various Chinese buildings in Tianjin before, but none of them are as good as here. "Qin Huang, does this belong to you alone?"

"Yes, this place belongs to me, and the palace belongs to me. There is a saying in China that is called 'All the world is the imperial land'. In this country, any land that does not belong can be said to be mine." Qin Ge said.

"Oh! What a big land it is! By the way, I heard that this Summer Palace is Qing zhèng

Empress Dowager Cixi misappropriated the navy's funds to build it. It was because of this that the Beiyang Navy was defeated.

I book, is that true?" Hobart also heard of it, but he was more curious about it.

"No, there are many officers from the Beiyang Navy in my navy. I asked them and they said there was no such thing."

"Oh!" Hobart was a little disappointed in his heart for some reason.

When they walked to Qiushui Pavilion, Qin Ge and Hobart sat down, someone gave them fruit.

Qin Ge ate a few glucose and asked, "I heard that the United States is arguing with Spain over an old warship?"

"Well, these Spanish sank the Maine with torpedoes, and they don't admit it yet, which is really angering!"

"Just a dilapidated warship, let Spain pay some money soon?" Qin Ge said.

"Spain is now so arrogant and disagreeable. Can they make them lose money?" Hobart smiled bitterly.

"Well, let's talk about the purpose of Mr. Vice President this time!" Qin Ge began to get to the point.

Hobart sat upright and said, "I came to China this time mainly to improve the relationship between the United States and China. I have obtained domestic authorization to recognize the United States and the Qing Dynasty.

The treaty signed by Fu is invalid. At the same time, the United States will also revoke the Chinese Exclusion Act. But Qin Emperor, you must publish a newspaper to apologize to the United States for the burning of the treaty!"

There were not many unequal treaties signed between the United States and the Qing Dynasty, and none of them had the requirement to cede territory. All of them were open ports, allowing missionary and consular judgment rights, etc. In fact, after Qin Ge destroyed all unequal treaties, he only erased the terms of consular judgment rights and most-favored-nation treatment. However, Qin Ge had already opened the trade ports across the country, and priests were not banned. Therefore, he admitted that there was no loss of profit for the invalidity of these treaties. The Chinese Exclusion Act was revoked. In fact, there were currently no more than 20,000 Chinese in the United States, and the Chinese Exclusion Act also lost its meaning.

Although Qin Ge is not good at politics, he also knows that there is no big difference between doing these things in the United States and not doing them. Qin Ge tapped the marble table with his finger and said, "It is impossible to ask me to apologize to the United States for the burning of the treaty! Don't say that he apologized publicly in the newspaper, even if he apologized privately, it is impossible."

"Your Excellency Qin Emperor, I came here with sincerity! As long as you apologize publicly, our country will admit that those treaties are invalid!"

Qin Ge shook his head and said, "Sir Vice President, you may not understand that those treaties are invalid! As long as I don't admit it, they are just a piece of waste paper! This is China, and we Chinese have the final say in everything! I am not afraid to tell you that before the New Year, I will take back Macau's sovereignty from Portugal! I will also take back Hong Kong's sovereignty at an appropriate time! I don't need you to admit that those treaties are invalid. If I say they are invalid, then they are invalid!"

"Oh. You can't do this! This is the way the barbarians do! You should first strive to negotiate with the signing state! Then the two sides discuss, come up with the results, sign a joint statement, and declare those treaties invalid at the same time! You unilaterally destroy the treaties, which is a contempt for the United States of America!" Hobart said loudly.

"Whatever you think! Anyway, I want to apologize for the burning of the treaty, every one! On the contrary, the United States should publicly apologize to China for the bill with strong racial discrimination like the "Chinese Exclusion Act"." Qin Ge said.

"The United States apologizes to China? This is impossible! Although China's navy is very strong, it is not as scared as the United States! And I went all the way and found that China did not even have one factory, which means that China is still very backward! Your Excellency Qin Huang, as long as you apologize, China can achieve normal bilateral relations with the United States, which is very beneficial to China! At the beginning of its establishment, no country came to congratulate me. At this time, it was recognized by the United States as an international status. I believe it would be much more useful than driving the Russians in the Far East away!" Hobart advised.

Qin Ge shook his head and smiled and said, "China's international status does not require your recognition. We China can strive for it ourselves!" Historically, the United States recognized that the Soviet Union was more than ten years after the founding of the Soviet Union and that China was more than twenty years after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The international status of a country does not need to be recognized by others, but needs to be achieved by itself. As long as you are strong, no one will disagree with you.

Hobart said: "So, Qin Emperor, won't you agree to apologize to the United States?"

"Never." Qin Ge looked at Hobart and said.

"Ah~~ Since I can't talk, I'll leave!" Hobart stood up dejectedly. He thought everything was easy, and as long as Qin Ge apologized, the relationship between the two countries could temporarily become friendly, but unexpectedly, Qin Ge was unwilling to apologize at all and said a lot of unreasonable words.

Of course, Qin Ge will not apologize like the United States. He is the monarch of a country. His words and deeds represent the entire empire. It is simply ridiculous to want an invader to apologize?

"Who is above? I'm here to send me the Vice President of the United States. There are not many people along the way who know English. I'm afraid he will get lost." Qin Ge raised his head and said.

"Uh... I've been discovered!" A man on the beam on the top of Qiushui Pavilion said depressedly, putting his rifle down, and then jumped down.

Hobart was shocked by the person falling from the sky. He saw the man wearing a gray-green military uniform and a pistol around his waist!

"This safety work is really in place!" Hobart sighed in his heart. Then he looked around: "I don't know how many secret whistles are hidden in the Summer Palace!"

"Mr. Vice President of the United States, please here."

After seeing Hobart away, Qin Ge sat quietly in the pavilion, looking at the quiet Kunming Lake. The Empire has now reached this point, which is not too difficult. Everything can be so smooth by being prescient. Now the Empire has begun to gradually embark on the road of industrialization. People with vision have also begun to invest in light industry, while Qin Ge is all doing it alone. It is not easy to do heavy industry, it requires a lot of capital, resources and technology, so heavy industry can only be made by Qin Ge or the Empire.

Let's do it.

The most headache for bypassing Qin Ge now is Russia. The hairy bear is a fighting race. Although it defeated Russia in Vladivostok, the northwest is in a mess. Qin Ge really has no good idea to stop the hairy bear.

"Hey! The empire wants to establish itself in the world. There is still a long way to go!" Qin Ge sighed.

After Hobart left, he met Hank, the Minister to China outside.

Hank saw that the vice president's face was not very good, and knew that the vice president must have been angry. He didn't dare to ask more questions.

Hobart said to Hank: "Go and take me to the telegraph room!"

Although radio is no secret, the United States has not purchased many radio stations! This thing is too expensive! For ten thousand pounds per unit, thirty units are enough to build a cruiser. Moreover, this thing weighs hundreds of pounds and is not very flexible. Therefore, not only the United States, but many countries are still using the telegraph company's wired telegraph machines.

Hobart sent the meeting with Qin Ge back to China. As for how to deal with it, it was a matter in China. Let President McKinley have a headache! I'll try Chinese food.

After coming out of the telegraph room, Hobart had already changed into a smile. He said to Hank: "Let's go, take me everywhere and have some delicious food. You are so happy to work in China. You can eat such delicious dishes every day. Well, after I step down, I will come to China for a while."

"Young Master!" I don't know how long it took, but Qin Erbao interrupted Qin Ge's thoughts.

"Hmm? Erbao, is there anything wrong?"

"Dong Fuxiang asked for surrender, Li Niu sent a telegram to ask what you mean."

"You are the Minister of the General Staff, you can just decide on this matter. And surrender naturally requires acceptance. Why do you even ask me about this matter?" Qin Ge said.

"Dong Fuxiang has a requirement." Qin Erbao said.

“What are the requirements?”

"He cannot confiscate his property, and he will be given a governor who can make a living."

Qin Ge frowned and said, "How much property can Dong Fuxiang have?"
