Chapter 1160: Tooth for tooth

Dengzhou.
Brook looked at the wide asphalt avenue, and the shuttle cars felt like a dream.
Now this is the third time he has been ordered to negotiate with the Chinese Empire, but this time it is the least tasteful.
When he came to Qingzhou, Prussia, Austria and France had become a pot of porridge in Europe.
According to their predictions, even if Tsarist Russia did not participate, Prussia and Austria would be enough to defeat Henry and eradicate the biggest unstable element in Europe.
But what is unexpected is that senior Prussian and Austrian military officers have been shot and killed frequently on the battlefield, which has caused chaos in the command of the armies of the two countries.
However, Prussia at this time demonstrated its hidden strength for many years. The Prussian army equipped with a rear-mounted percussion rifle was not weaker than Henry's army, and even slightly prevailed.
So even in the case of heavy losses for senior generals, Prussia and Henry did not win the battle.
But Austria was not so lucky. With the firearms two generations behind Henry's army and the frequent deaths of officers, the Austrian army quickly turned from offensive to defensive after entering France.
After analyzing the current situation, Brooke and Vidomia believe that it will only be a matter of time before Henry replaces France.
But after the war, France, Prussia and Austria will all need a period of rest and recuperation, and there is little hope of joining forces against the Eastern Empire.
It is based on this concern that he came here again.
"In two years, I didn't expect such a big change here." Brook was a little bit sad. He now looks up to the Eastern Empire, just like the natives looked up to Britain.
On the streets of Dengzhou full of tall buildings, he suddenly felt very small.
Unlike the previous two times, they were not received by any imperial officials this time. This cold treatment made Brooke understand that in the eyes of the imperial, Britain has any qualifications for negotiation.
With a slight sigh, Brook led his entourage to Dengzhou Station to buy tickets and set off on the shuttle bus to Qingzhou.
At the same time, when Brook arrived in Dengzhou, Xiao Ming received a call.
After hanging up the phone, he sneered and said to Pang Yukun: "These British guys really don't see the coffins and cry. They toast and drink fine wine."
"No, I don't do a good business, we have to do some moths, this time we must beat them hard." Pang Yukun said with a cold snort.
Xiao Ming nodded, and he said, "This is natural. You can draw up stringent negotiation conditions. If they agree, they will continue to block Britain until they agree."
"Yes, the emperor." Pang Yukun smirked.
In the afternoon, Brook arrived in Qingzhou. Like last time, neither Xiao Ming nor Pang Yukun went to see Brook, but still let Tang Wen be outstanding.
In the morning, Pang Yukun had already revealed the terms of the negotiation to him, and now he knew it well.
In the meeting room of Weijia Restaurant, Tang Wenjie and Brooke's people sat opposite each other.
In the face of Brooke, Tang Wenjie deliberately showed a very arrogant posture. Britain's actions made the empire shameless. In the face of the British envoys, they did not have to smile to welcome him.
"Bang!" After he was seated, Tang Wenjie threw the proposed treaty directly in front of Brooke. He said, "This is the condition of the empire. If you can't agree, please return."
Tang Wenjie's rude gesture immediately made the British envoys look angry, but they could only endure it.
Taking a deep breath, Brook opened the treaty with trembling hands, only to read the first page, he closed the document angrily.
"Impossible, you are a humiliation to England, we cannot rent London to you." Brook roared like an angry lion.
Before coming, he had thought that the empire would put forward harsh conditions, but he had never expected that the empire would put forward such unbearable conditions.
It's nothing more than renting London, but the rent of the Empire renting London turned out to be a golden dragon, which is simply a shame to them.
Tang Wenjie looked indifferent, "If you can't accept it, you can leave now. This is the condition of the empire and will not be changed."
Brooke tightly held the treaty, and he shouted: "You are deceiving too much!" "Slap!" Tang Wenjie then patted the table again and stood up, "Too much deception? After the treaty was signed last time, the empire thought you would Honestly, but what about you? Threatening the imperial diplomats and seizing the imperial fleet. For this reason, the imperial naval commander, Commander Yue Yun, was directly dismissed. Compared with this, you are deceiving too much."
Brooke was speechless when he heard the words.
Upon seeing this, Tang Wenjie snorted heavily and said: "The treaty hasn't been finished yet. Keep reading. This is only the first article. What else is there below? If you want to discuss this time, please discuss together. Don't go back and forth. It's quite far. of."
Brook felt as if he was in a cold winter. He continued to watch. In addition to renting London, the Empire also asked Britain to abolish the British pound and circulate the Empire Golden Dragon as a trading currency. The market asked Britain to abolish all self-protection trade policies and give the Empire the best Preferential country treatment, no tariffs on imperial goods, military, Britain must not have a regular army, only retain a small amount of self-defense, military industry must not develop any weapons that threaten the empire. At the same time, the empire is allowed to station troops in Britain.
After reading this, Brooke felt that he was about to commit a heart attack, but the treaty did not end there. In the last article, the Empire asked for the trial of the war criminals who initiated the war~EbookFREE.me~The purpose of the Empire is clearly to use this as an excuse. Suppress the hardliners in Britain and support the pro-imperial faction to come to power.
Tang Wenjie drank tea leisurely while observing Brooke's expression.
The purpose of these treaties is obvious. Once Britain agrees to these conditions, Britain becomes a colony of the empire.
The empire has its own deep meaning in choosing this way.
First of all, Britain is a threat to the empire in Europe. In this way, Britain will be completely castrated by the empire. Second, Britain has always been a European cudgel in history and has been responsible for messing up Europe.
This nail left by the empire can be used when a power emerges in Europe, so that the empire can save a lot of effort in Europe.
"I can't agree, and I won't agree to death." Brooke's voice trembled. Once a document was signed, he would be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.
Tang Wenjie didn't speak, he stood up, motioned to his subordinates to open the door of the meeting room, and then made a gesture of please, meaning to let Brook "get out".
