C3369 Good news (1/2)
The palace Attendant of Buckingham Palace wore a sleek, embroidered formal attire. He even had a small wig on, and from the looks of it, he had an official position.
When he entered the hall, all the representatives stood up to greet him out of respect for the Queen, and Gladstone went up to greet him.
”Does Your Majesty have any instructions?” the Prime Minister asked humbly.
Everyone thought that the Queen's messenger had come to see the Prime Minister, to give new instructions, but the scene that followed was a shock.
The messenger bowed to the Prime Minister in thanks, but Gladstone was struck dumb when he opened his mouth.
”Hello, Prime Minister, the Queen does not have a message for you. I am here to meet the head of the Chinese family!”
With a hum, Gladstone felt his blood pressure suddenly soar up to mid-air. He started to have severe tinnitus, and the surrounding noise became very chaotic, as if everyone's words had turned into mocking sounds.
Xiao Letian used the back of his hand to pat the Prime Minister's shoulder, signalling him to make way for his. Like a puppet, Gladstone obediently made way for him.
The Queen's messenger stood in front of Xiao Letian, respectfully bowed and sent an invitation.
”Tonight, Prince Edward will invite the leader to the Buckingham Palace as well as the loyal generals and ministers of the leader. In principle, the Queen has accepted your plan to purchase the land, but the details still need to be discussed in detail between us!”
Done! He actually succeeded!
Even though Xiao Letian was experienced and knowledgeable, but when he heard the news, his heart suddenly jumped.
The two islands in the Indian Ocean and the territory of the Western Australia, the Queen was actually willing to sell!
”Oh, please respond to Her Majesty the Honorable Queen, I will definitely be there on time, thank you very much... Thank you... ”Thank you …”
The excited Xiao Letian actually said three thanks in one go, which surprised everyone around him.
Duke of Newcastle, who had been observing the situation from the start, had his eyes shining brightly. He had a very close personal relationship with the palace guards and kept giving his old friend meaningful glances.
But the messenger didn't say anything, and only looked at Xiao Letian with a gaze full of meaning!
Understood, the Duke immediately understood what was going on, Xiao Letian had passed the test!
How did he do it? Is this Chinese man very capable? Even I couldn't think of a way to clear it. How did he change the Queen's attitude overnight?
No, I have to understand, the The Duke of Newkes ignored the surrounding people's questions and squeezed out of the window, preparing to intercept the messenger halfway.
The negotiations had stopped, and even the Spaniard was stunned!
It could be said that from the very beginning to the end, the Spaniard relied on the British to be strong. They were very clear about the situation in their own country, even before the civil war ended, they still wanted to fight against China?
With the aid of British diplomatic mediation, he could get as many benefits as he wanted. This was the real benefit!
But they never would have thought that the successor to the Queen, Crown Prince Edward, would invite all the high officials of the Chinese clan at this critical juncture. He actually said that he agreed to the purchase plan in principle?
What was this plan? Why have we not heard of it at all, and how did Xiao Letian manage to hide it from the world?
In the chaos of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, no one was doing any work anymore. All of their attention was focused on the bizarre negotiations, while everyone was trying to guess how Xiao Letian passed!
