Kabul has been filled with gunpowder every day since the representatives of Britain and Russia arrived.

Just just now, the Russian representative also publicly delivered an anti-British speech, which received applause from the citizens of Kabul.

In contrast, the British delegation is much more low-key. As the head of the delegation, Walters knew how unpopular he was.

In just two weeks, they were attacked three times and surrounded twice. If the Afghan government was worried about their security and sent troops to protect, it is estimated that the British delegation would have been destroyed.

Although he came here to make trouble, Walters was not prepared to take his own life. After seeing the enthusiasm of the Afghan people, he began to settle down.

A young military officer filled with indignation: ”Mr. Walters, the Russians are giving anti-British speeches. This is a provocation to Britain. We must give them some color!”

Stretching his hand and patting the shoulder of the young officer, Walters said seriously: ”Henry, calm down.

This is Afghanistan. If we take any radical actions, we will be caught by the Russians.

Do n’t forget our mission on this trip. Before the Afghan government has a clear surface position, we should all fight for it.

War is the last resort. If it is just to provoke war and it can be carried out at any time, why should we invigorate the teachers? ”

This is the truth, life is your own. If you don't keep a low profile on other people's sites, you will die in vain.

In fact, the British government has drawn in Afghanistan many times, only because of the relationship between hatred and credibility.

Of course, during this period there was also credit to the colonists. The temptations made three times and five times have made the Afghan government very alert to them.

As the Russian strategic center of gravity moved south, Afghanistan's strategic position became increasingly important.

This draw is also an ultimatum. Negotiations, which seem to be of a consultative nature, are actually forcing Afghanistan to resume its convoy.

The young officer Henry shook his head: ”I hope your plan will be effective, but I am not optimistic.

The anti-British sentiment of the Afghan people is too strong. Even if the government is willing to compromise, a treaty will not play much role. ”

In this era of weak meat and strong food, hard fists are the first. It seems that the British delegation is at a disadvantage and has taken the initiative in actual negotiations.

In the final analysis, Britain is still strong enough. British India is next to Afghanistan, while the Russians are separated by Persia and the Central Asian Khanate.

Walters said to himself: ”Relax, the conditions we put forward this time are not excessive. The garrison is only to help them resist Russian invasion. The Afghan government knows how to choose.”

...

In the royal palace, Lieutenant General Stolletov has just completed a contract exchange with the Afghan King Emir, and the treaty has only 11 items.

But this piece of paper of 11 treaties put Afghanistan under the protection of the Russian Empire.

The main content is: The Russian Empire supports the rule of Emir, will help the Afghan government defeat the enemy at home and abroad, is responsible for mediating the relationship between Afghanistan and third countries, and guaranteeing the territorial sovereignty and security of Afghanistan.

There is really no excessive requirement, as long as Afghanistan stands on the side of the Russian Empire at the critical moment.

Compared with the British garrison requirements, this protection treaty of the Russians obviously reassured King Amir.

Responsible for witnessing this history is the Austrian Minister in Persia, Redmond. A small country like Afghanistan has no interest exchanges and is not worthy of the attention of the Austrian government. Naturally, it has no diplomatic envoys.

When things need to be dealt with, the nearest Minister in Persia will do the work. This is a characteristic of the times. Compared with appointing a businessman as a minister at will, this is quite formal.

In a sense, the position of Minister Redmond also affected Emile's judgment.

Apart from the high-level governments of the two countries, the people of the two countries do not know about the bad things between the Russian-Austrian League and the outside world even knows nothing about it.

For a closed country like Afghanistan, Russia and Austria are a model of close allies. From the beginning of the anti-French war to the present, the friendship between the two countries has withstood the test of years.

Holding the thighs of the Russians is equivalent to holding the thighs of the Russian-Austrian League at the same time. A single may not be as good as the British, but the combination of the two is definitely not inferior.

Minister Redmond said insincerely: ”Congratulations to the two, and a new chapter in the history of Central Asia. I believe that with the help of the Russian Empire, Afghanistan will soon become stronger.

To celebrate this great moment, the Austrian Empire is willing to sponsor the Afghan government ’s 10,000 rifles and some ammunition for free. ”

Not surprisingly, Austrian equipment can defeat many competitors and become the mainstream of army equipment in the international arms market, relying on trial first.

Usually, a group of retired rifles with good performance are sponsored first. After people have used them, they will slowly sell the matching weapons and equipment. Even if the sales are unsuccessful, you can sell ammunition.
