Chapter 382 Why didn't the Eight-Power Allied Forces enter the capital?

"Our American New Tang Empire expressed serious concern about the riots that occurred in the Qing Dynasty not long ago!"

"Our American New Tang Empire hopes that European countries will be restrained against the riots that occurred in the Qing Dynasty and do not illegally interfere in other people's internal affairs!"

"Our American New Tang Empire strongly condemns the atrocities committed by European countries in the Qing Dynasty! I hope that European countries will not further military actions! Otherwise! Don't say that you are not prepared!"

When Li Mengyang, who was in Washington, learned about Yang Guangren's resumption, he didn't feel anything. Anyway, this kind of anti-Qing struggle should have just begun. Now the Qing Dynasty is still a giant, and it is difficult to do anything now. However, when the name of the "Boilers" appeared in the document on Li Mengyang's table, he couldn't sit still!

Boxer Rebellion, why did this thing come out so early?

Li Mengyang was really shocked. He was not mentally prepared at all. {Chinese.

After he learned of the emergence of this organization, Li Mengyang immediately called Liszt over and said one sentence.

"Hurry up! Go to the UK!"

Why are you so anxious? And why are you taking photos of Liszt going to the UK?

It’s not enough to be anxious, it’s really impossible to be anxious!

You should know that the world is still one by one, and the message transmission between various continents is very slow. Li Mengyang learned about the Boxer Rebellion two months later, but it is already very fast. This Pacific route is getting more and more familiar, and the speed of merchant ships traveling is much higher, so the propeller technology is better.

But this is also two months. Based on such a time difference, can Li Mengyang catch up with what will happen in the future?

Yes, how could he, Li Mengyang, not know that after the Boxer Rebellion, was the Eight-Nation Alliance?

And what kind of animalistic journeys have the Eight-Nation Alliance done? Is it necessary to say? Of course, you can do something, just do something!

But the result is still not. It’s over, or I didn’t expect that things would develop so quickly that you can’t do anything at all.

Yes. When the news of the Eight-Nation Alliance arrived in Washington, the Qing Dynasty was already pressed to the ground and beaten!

There is another problem, that is, to send the news to the UK and let Liszt, the temporary ambassador, go over and call out to the European powers. This matter also takes time. Moreover, even if these European powers were stopped by your American Empire and shocked, their relevant orders would take a lot of time to go to the Far East!

Now, there is also good news, that the Suez Canal has been opened, which greatly shortens the time for message transmission, but...

This time it took several months!

The Qing Dynasty was already pressed to the ground by the Eight-Nation Alliance and was pumping hard!

To be honest, Li Mengyang didn't know this problem, but he really wanted to do something. He really didn't expect that the development of history was completely different from the one he knew, but there was also some good news, that is, the New Tang Empire's shouting had some effect.

The Eight-Nation Alliance did not enter the capital!

Let me put it this way, maybe this failure to enter the capital has nothing to do with the empire's shouting, but maybe it has something to do. Anyway, this matter is hard to say, because after all, the coalition forces and governments of those countries have never said that the coalition forces stopped when they attacked outside the capital, which has something to do with the words of the American Empire.

And there is another thing. As for the current world situation, the Far East is all about their colonies in Europe and the United States. Because the distance is too far, they cannot completely manage it so timely. An administrative order will take several months, so if you don’t enter the capital, it has nothing to do with your American empire, it doesn’t matter...

But is this really okay?

"Dear Mr. Chase, you are truly a generous and moral person. On behalf of Queen Victoria of the British Empire, I would like to express my gratitude to you, and to express my loyal blessings and gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor of America."

"Mr. Disraelly, thank you for your blessings! May God bless Her Majesty the Queen and the British Empire."

Chase Disraelli?

At this time, the two men were wearing straight dresses, shook hands with each other, and had signed the documents before, and then...

Puff! Puff!

The sound of taking pictures came out!

What is this for?

Simply put, this is a signing agreement, and the content of this agreement is that the British Empire ordered 5 of the most advanced iron armored warships in the world today from the American Empire!

Is this buying warships? Britain, the British Empire, and the world's maritime overlords, how could they buy warships from other countries?

The reason is very simple, I was scared to pee!

It is said that after Earl Clarendon came back in New York, he went to pay homage to Queen Victoria. This action was very strange because Queen Victoria generally did not take much control over government affairs, but this time the Foreign Minister found the Queen first.

Then, not long after, news came out that the Agamemnon, the strongest warship in the future, which was still under construction in the Portsmouth shipyard, was suspended!

Alas, these two things seem to be connected...

Simply put, after Count Clarendon saw the power of the San Francisco in New York, he was frightened and then came back to attribute his failure to interfere in the American things to the steel giant. Therefore, since such a powerful warship appeared, the future Agamemnon is just an iron-packed warship, so there is no need to build it again.

That's the matter. If you want to talk about the ship Agamemnon, the reason why it was rebuilt is because this name is very legendary. It is the ship of the British Navy God of War Nelson!

The Agamemnon has sunk several times, but it has been rebuilt every time. And the last time, before the New York Harbor hit a torpedo, the Agamemnon was really the most powerful warship of the British Navy. If you want to say that the Queen of England asked this giant ship to the United States and helped to build the Atlantic cable, it actually has some threatening meaning.

Look, is the ships of our British Empire awesome?

This mentality must be there, but the result is rather tragic, and now it is even more tragic. There is no need to build it anymore, because the power of the San Francisco, with the current level of the iron-capped warship of Agamemnon, even Nelson's rebirth is probably not capable of fighting.

So, this shutdown is natural, but Britain still needs to maintain its maritime overlord status. What should I do?

When Li Mengyang was sending Liszt, he arranged for Liszt a deputy envoy, namely Salmon Chase.

Oh yes, it wasn’t Mr. Huang last time, but this time it was Mr. Chase. If you want to say that Li Mengyang really likes to use his father-in-law…

Let’s put the details and other details first. Of course, Chase is the deputy envoy, which is of course a great benefit. He is familiar with the law, and he was the Finance Minister before, so he can talk about a lot of things.

So, let's do a business.

In fact, the San Francisco is still a little bit different in Li Mengyang's eyes, such as the design of the fort, which is now mostly people working, that is, there is a lift equipment to send huge warheads and gunpowder upwards. The cannon charges and warheads of this caliber are separated from the warheads.

Li Mengyang is not very clear about how the giant cannon of the gunboat works, but he has also watched naval war movies. He always feels that his ship is not loading fast enough, which means that the technology is really a lot worse.

But now this is the most advanced!

Then, if your empire comes to Europe to speak out, we can also talk about business, that's fine.

So, Liszt condemned loudly there, and the British did not react much, which could be said to be indulgent. Under the table, everyone had a very in-depth exchange of interests, such as how to build this ship.

The first three ships were built in the American Empire, and the construction site was the San Francisco Shipyard, the Brooklyn Shipyard, and the Rhode Island Shipyard. Norfolk is also preparing to go to a shipyard. As for the shipyard in Brooklyn, it was the construction site of Perry's warship in the Black Ship incident that year. He was still the director of the shipyard...

This is a benefit, both sides have benefits. The Empire has obtained economic benefits, and the Empire has shouted internationally, which is of some effect. You know, the Empire has replaced the original United States, but everyone still won’t recognize you!

Although the business is still being done, the British didn't say anything about this matter. No one thinks that your empire is a normal country. Everyone in Europe has the same attitude.

But this time, the Eight-Nation Alliance was still on the brakes, which was somewhat helpful to the empire's international status. Although many European powers also stood up and said that it was not because of you that we would not fight down...

But the empire did this, and Li Mengyang did his best to minimize the tragedy. So what would the Qing court react?

"In the affairs of the Qing Dynasty, those individuals who are out of the way will never be allowed to speak out!"

This is Cixi’s voice!

To be honest, this voice is really a bit like a dog biting Lu Dongbin's feet, and it is really annoying. We have helped you, but you don't appreciate it, hey~

But however, Li Mengyang didn't care much about this matter. Anyway, he felt that what he did was beneficial to our nation and country, not for your Qing Dynasty!

After Cixi said this, she also said some other words.

"The Qing Dynasty Congress reforms! Will definitely reform!"

This reform will definitely not be an economic reform, it will definitely be a system reform. So what kind of reform is this reform?

Also, why did Cixi agree to this reform? (To be continued.)
