Chapter 148 Negotiation

When Ye Zhao and his group were escorting back to Lingshan after hearing the news, Yan Zongguangzheng, the Imperial Consulate Consulate in Singapore in Singapore, and Bi Qilin, the Chinese protector of Singapore, held emergency consultations on the status and future of the ** Party. Soon, officials of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs disarmed British soldiers and became the issue of debate between the two.

Yan Zongguang has been renamed Yan Fu and has just stepped down as the county magistrate of Bixia County. Bixia County's jurisdiction is the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean. When Yan Zongguang was appointed as the county magistrate, Bixia County had just established a county. There were only a few thousand indigenous people on the archipelago. Now six years have passed, Bixia Island has become the most important supply point for the Eastern fleet to travel to southern Africa. In addition to the expansion of the harbor, sturdy coastal defense fortifications were built on the island, and officers and soldiers were stationed.

This year, Yan Zongguang was only twenty-seven years old and was appointed as the counselor of the Singapore Consulate of Singapore, one of the most important consulates in the Empire overseas. Now the Imperial Consul General in Singapore returned to China to report on his duties. Yan Zongguang acted as the official office, but he did not expect that he would encounter such a difficult thing immediately.

Before meeting Bi Qilin, Yan Zongguang had already visited the Imperial African Strait Navy Association (Deputy) General, the Royal Rear Admiral, and Zhang Yunzong, the commander of the Singapore Fleet.

Zhang Yunzong is the most dazzling among the young generals who are rising in the empire today. Students who graduated from Guangzhou Naval Academy at the same time, such as Lu Dahua and Bao Daling, are all young navy leaders in the imperial navy. They have also participated in the Wusongkou battle that defeated the Russian Far East Fleet more than ten years ago.

After communicating with Major General Zhang Yunzong, Yan Zongguang urgently made an appointment with the British and political officials of Singaporeans. Smith, the governor of Singaporeans, happened to go to Kolkata a few days ago. Some people also believed that he deliberately avoided the Chinese fleet's visit to Singapore and responded to the impact of the Chinese navy's visit in a low-key manner.

The Governor's Office of the Straits Colony is also called Sanzhou Prefecture by Chinese-Americans. Bi Qilin, who was appointed as a Chinese civilian protection officer five years ago, came forward to receive Yan Zongguang. Now the Straits Colony official office, Bi Qilin is also the most influential official.

Bi Qilin is a British man. His name is a Chinese translation and deliberately translated into a simple and easy-to-understand word. Today, Bi Qilin, a Chinese official, is responsible for maintaining public order in the Chinese community in Singapore, prohibiting the sale of population (piglets) and regulating the prostitute industry, etc., but he is actually an old colonialist.

Bi Qilin was a businessman. When the former Taiwan regime had not naturalized the empire more than ten years ago, he took advantage of the instability of the Taiwan regime and monopolized the Taiwan camphor trade, which caused the Taiwan camphor price to plummet, and the Taiwanese people were suffering. Later, the empire intervened, because Bi Qilin interfered, and a "camphor crisis" broke out between China and Britain. Of course, because the empire rose to the east, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, Bi Qilin and other British merchants left Taiwan in shame. However, over the years, he has been promoting the threat posed by the imperial dictatorship to the civilized world. He is an absolute anti-Chinese element. He was appointed as a Chinese protector of the people in Singapore. It has to be said that it is a satire.

In the roundtable conference room of the Governor's Office, Yan Zongguang and Bi Qilin fought against each other and announced that the ** Party was an illegal organization because of Bi Qilin's toughness and that he convinced many heavyweight officials.

Bi Qilin dared not underestimate the Chinese consul who was less than 30 years old. The indigenous people of the Chagos Islands are now educated, and this young Chinese official made great contributions. Even the indigenous people on the island gave him umbrellas according to the customs of the Central Plains when he left office. In just a few years, the indigenous people could return to their hearts. His talents can be seen.

**The party's actions are constantly being made, and it will inevitably be supported by the Central Plains Empire. Bi Qilin hopes to take this opportunity to ban the Party and block the Chinese's voice. At the same time, it will curb the Central Plains Empire's ambition to advance westward. Especially since it has been heard that China's Taihe Bank has begun to negotiate the Suez Canal shares with Egypt Pasha, gold mines were discovered in the Devasland area of ​​southern Africa, and the Chinese fleet's troops increased their troops. The intention is obvious. If Singaporean Polygon is turbulent and controlled by the Chinese people, mainland India will face the dual threat from China from sea and land, and the East-West trade will be strangled by the Central Plains Empire. The Empire of Sun Never Setting will be subject to the worst setback in history.

Therefore, when Yan Zongguang was passionate about the autonomy rights of the Singaporeans and compared Singaporeans with Australia, believing that Singaporean citizens could also gain self-domestic status like Australia, Bi Qilin just slowly bit his pipe and listened. He had made up his mind that no matter what the Chinese responded, he would take this thousand-year-old opportunity to ban the ** party.

When Yan Zongguang's statement came to an end, he picked up the teacup and savored the tea, Bi Qilin knocked on the pipe and said slowly: "If your country declares the Fair Party as a legal organization, I will convince my colleagues to cancel the ban on the ** Party. Any organization that calls for the overthrow of the political fu by force will not be welcome. I don't know whether the consul agrees with what I said."

Yan Zongguang glanced at the old British man with brown eyes and said that he was old and stronger, and he was not forgiven. Putting down the teacup, Yan Zongguang smiled and said, "The example given by Mr. William is not very appropriate. The Fair Party is a mob organization that encourages civilians to kill officials and rob money. The ** Party, like the Australian parties, only hopes that Singapore can gain autonomy. With education and ideological basis, Singapore Praise can actually become a member of the civilized world. However, it has not been seen for a long time that a few radicals have taken the wrong path. How can they generalize the two?"

After tasting tea, Yan Zongguang said again: "What's more, Great Britain holds the civilized world and maintains peace and order in the world. We should always set an example and let all people know the dawn of freedom and equality. How can we discourage ourselves and make the free patriots regret it?"

"I have received an urgent telegram from Beijing. If the Sanzhou Prefecture insists on rounding up the ** Party, our country will not rule out the possibility of force interference. Please think twice. Don't make thousands of people bleed with a temporary speed, and become a sinner of history!"

Hearing Yan Zongguang's last words, Bi Qilin was stunned. He also considered the various reactions of the Chinese, but he really didn't expect that the Chinese would threaten with force immediately. Since Napoleon, the British Empire has ever encountered a country that threatened wars to start?

For a moment, Bi Qilin didn't know how to react. If officials from the second country dared to threaten to use force, Bi Qilin had already stood up. However, such solemn warning from Chinese diplomats would make people consider the possibility and consequences of a war between the two countries.

The Chinese sent such a clear signal at the first time, which was obvious. They just didn't want to misunderstand and be lucky if they waited for the officials in Singapore. Perhaps, the comprehensive roundup of the ** Party will really trigger a war between the two countries?

Bi Qilin shivered in his heart. He knew that he could not bear such a responsibility. The confident Chinese made him feel that the yellow dragon flag on the negotiating table suddenly had an inviolable meaning.
