"The Prime Minister wants to see me? Why?" It's already the end of August, and Liu Yiming is about to go to the romantic city to attend the second meeting of the Olympic Committee. In fact, Liu Yiming doesn't want to go.

"Who knows? But my uncle told me that it seems that the Prime Minister is conveying Her Majesty's wishes." Charles shrugged.

"When?" Liu Yiming asked. It was impossible and unnecessary to avoid it. Avoiding it would only make people think that there is something evil inside you.

"Two days later." Charles said with a constipated look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yiming noticed this expression and asked.

"Well, I just feel strange. When Mr. Prime Minister told me, he had an impatient expression, just like the expression he had when he ran to the toilet for a second after having diarrhea. He obviously seemed impatient, but he wanted to see you in two days."

Charles said it as a joke.

"Oh! Is it just this? Maybe he really wants to have diarrhea?" Liu Yiming didn't take it to heart.

"It would be nice to meet the Prime Minister. I will be leaving soon. It would be great to know the Prime Minister's attitude towards Nanhua. Maybe I can get more support?" Liu Yiming said jokingly.

"I'm going to see what to wear on that day." It's already a bit chilly in London.

"Oh! I have a dress. You and I are about the same figure. If you don't mind, you can try it." Charles continued.

"No, it's an official meeting, not a banquet. Wife, have you seen my Tang suit?" Liu Yiming said and walked upstairs.

…………

On the same day, August 27, in the distant palace of Tsarist Russia.

In the Tsar's study, the French Foreign Minister was saluting the Tsar.

"Your Majesty, long live the friendship between the French Republic and Tsarist Russia."

"Yes, my lord, long live friendship." The Tsar nodded.

After leaving the Tsar's study with a document, the Imperial Foreign Minister whispered to the Republic's Foreign Minister.

"If you come in person, won't the British notice it?" The Imperial Foreign Minister felt a little uncomfortable. This was obviously using Tsarist Russia as a shield.

"Don't worry, what can he do if he finds out? Start a war with Tsarist Russia? Or start a war with France? Neither, he will only encourage his German cousins..." Balabala, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, kept talking until he left the Kremlin.

"Your Majesty, are you just going to promise them like this?" The foreign minister who returned to the palace was very unwilling. He wanted the Russian Empire to become a thug for just money. It was too much!

"What else should we do? The rise of Germany has blocked our westward expansion, and France is still willing to provide money. This is the best thing." The Russian emperor at this time was Alexander III, an emperor who hated Germany.

"But the French..." The Foreign Secretary wanted to say something else.

"Enough, the treaty has been established. Before the reinsurance treaty expires, Europe will fall into a brief period of peace. The French have money, so let's start building the Siberian Railway!" Alexander III did not want to continue.

The Foreign Minister opened his mouth and backed away.

"Is it really okay to let Alevikov continue to serve as foreign minister?" After the foreign minister left, the queen stood up.

The Foreign Minister is pro-German, and the Queen is anti-German (from Denmark, Denmark lost to Prussia).

"There is no problem. They are still clear about the big issues of right and wrong. Let's go, I'm tired, go to Gatchina." Alexander III was extremely afraid of being assassinated, so he stayed in the Gatchina Palace for a long time.

While packing her things, the Queen saw the document she had just signed - "Defense Alliance"

I opened the document and smiled after seeing the conditions above. That night, a secret letter was sent to Denmark...

…………

On August 29, accompanied by Charles, Liu Yiming took Zhang You to the destination - the Prime Minister's Official Residence.

"Why are you taking me with you?" Zhang You asked after getting in the car.

Liu Yiming looked at Charles because this was the news he suddenly received this morning.

"We are changing our destination. It is not the Prime Minister who wants to see you, but Her Majesty the Queen." Charles also looked nervous now.

"Isn't this a little too hasty?" Zhang You looked at Liu Yiming in a red Tang suit, himself in a dress, and Charles in a casual dress.

"I know too! But there is no time to change clothes. It's okay if the clothes are not formal enough. It would be rude to be late!" Charles was more nervous than Liu Yiming and Zhang You. After all, they are not British. No matter what, it makes sense. I

Why does a little guy want to go together?

After arriving at Buckingham Palace, Liu Yiming was upset after going through many levels of checkpoints before meeting the most powerful person in the world at this time - Queen Victoria.

"Greetings to you, Your Majesty the Queen." Liu Yiming didn't know how to salute, so he imitated movies and TV shows and held his chest up and bowed.

Zhang You made a blessing.

Charles' etiquette is more complicated, but Liu Yiming can't understand it...

"Good day, Your Excellency, Minister." Victoria's expression was very serious. It wasn't until she pulled Zhang You that her expression softened.

"I like the things you gave me very much..."

"Really? As long as your Majesty likes it."

Liu Yiming and Charles just stood there stupidly, watching the two of them exchanging some strange things. Victoria even showed a rare smile, and then she immediately stopped when she saw someone else was there.

"You haven't eaten yet? It's just in time for the palace breakfast. I like the things you gave me very much. You should also try what I gave you." Victoria took Zhang You's hand and walked towards the restaurant.

"What's going on?" Liu Yiming couldn't understand, so he could only ask Charles.

"I don't understand either. I heard that the Queen is a very serious person. By the way, no matter what happens later, don't be surprised!" Charles said to Liu Yiming seriously, as if he remembered something.

Liu Yiming thought to himself, what would happen if we just had a meal?

Soon, in the splendid banquet hall, in addition to Zhang You and the Queen, the Queen's family members were waiting early. Liu Yiming quickly took his seat, and Charles also sat down nervously.

"Let's serve," said the Queen.

Next, Liu Yiming was really shocked. It was not some gorgeous or rare food, which Liu Yiming was immune to, but the image of the queen eating. She could only be described as gobbling it up. Not only that, but she also ate a lot!

Breakfast consists of dozens of snacks, tea, cheese, milk, and bread.

The queen has eaten every kind of dim sum, and also had a piece of bread and two glasses of milk. Liu Yiming thought that eating so much might be a bit too much, as the dim sum would be full!

"Although I don't like to talk about things at the dinner table, the guest's condition at the dinner table is obviously better than before, so let's talk here." Half an hour later, the Queen finished eating.

"Your Excellency Minister, Britain will launch a series of actions in the direction of British India, and we hope that South China will do the same." The Queen said before Liu Yiming could refuse.

"Are you so impatient? We are not ready for military operations yet. Whether it is manpower, transportation capacity, or material reserves, they are far from enough." Liu Yiming suddenly entered the state. This was the result obtained after many discussions between him and Xu Hui.

"When can you take action?" the Queen asked.

"We can capture Kalimantan Island in December and before Christmas, and then we will use Kalimantan Island as a springboard to invade French Indo-China." Liu Yiming put forward the offer.

"Yes, but the plan has changed. We hope that Nanhua can fight France in the Far East." Victoria said while drinking tea.

"With all due respect to Your Majesty, Nanhua will not fight a war that cannot be won." Liu Yiming refused without thinking. France and the Netherlands are not from the same latitude.

"Of course I am not asking you to start a war now. The Chinese in Burma can take their wealth to South China. The cooperation you have negotiated with the Prime Minister will turn into aid. There will also be an interest-free loan of the same strength. The United Kingdom will also help you.

Carrying out immigration activities." The Queen obviously knew everything the British knew about South China.

"Your ship will be delivered before the end of next year. Naval students can immediately go on board for internship so that they can operate the new ship a year later. The British colony of Kalimantan will give it to you. In addition, the United Kingdom will also support Nanhua to win the entire

Dutch East Indies, all.”

"As long as you agree to go to war, these will be in place immediately," the Queen said.

Liu Yiming was silent. Everything the Queen said came into his heart. The Chinese could leave with their own wealth, and the assistance plus interest-free loans of equal strength, and once war broke out, the United Kingdom could also purchase national debt. This was only in France.

Indo-Chinese attack the French, Liu Yiming agrees...

Damn it! The bait is very tempting, but France’s navy, the second largest in the world, is not a decoration!

"Forgive me for refusing, the South China Navy cannot compete with the French Navy, even with these warships." Liu Yiming said neither humble nor overbearing.

"The British will contain the French. They will not have too many navies to go to the Far East. What you need to deal with will not be an invincible force." The future Edward VII, now the Crown Prince, spoke out.

Liu Yiming glanced at the crown prince and thought slowly.

"I need an interest-free loan of 20 million pounds for armaments and more comprehensive cooperation," Liu Yiming said.

"Yes, but no one can deceive the British Empire!" It was the crown prince who was still speaking. It seemed that the queen had begun to train the crown prince.

"Of course not, I can do as many things as I want for how much money I get!" Liu Yiming smiled.

"Okay, let's get down to business now. I like the gift Zhang gave me very much. This is what I gave to you." The Queen saw that the conversation was almost done and gave Zhang You a gem necklace, all of which were rare.

gem.

"This shell necklace is so beautiful. Next time you have new cakes, you must give them to me!" The queen held the shell necklace carved from gems and jade given by Zhang You, but she still held the cakes in her mouth.

"By the way, there are also those kinds of cakes called Jianweixiaoshi tablets. Do you still have them at your place?" the queen asked.

"Uh..." Zhang You turned to look at Liu Yiming, and Liu Yiming patted his head...

"The Queen eats and drinks too much all year round and suffers from bloating!" Liu Yiming suddenly remembered!
