"Your Majesty, and the assassination incident, the truth has been investigated clearly. French Prime Minister Ru Feili planned behind the scenes, and the British and French radicals were attacked, and it was a joint operation. There were more than 300 people involved in total." Wang Zhankui then reported to Emperor Hua.

The cute CEO actually knew it a long time ago. It was just that the Bureau of Statistics’ intelligence had not been implemented before, so it was not certain. Now it is considered certain.

"It's so hateful, your majesty, what should I do?" Jie Gege said angrily.

"Your Majesty, can you get rid of this Ru Feili?" Catherine asked angrily.

"Get rid of him?" The cute CEO almost laughed.

"Your Majesty is so happy? He almost died." Catherine couldn't help but say angrily. Not to mention the women present, even Sofia, who was 13 years old and just understood the relationship between men and women, felt that her mother's expression was a little better than that.

"Violence is not what we pursue. We must use our brains and do less. Whether it is for domestic or foreign countries, we must stick to this idea. The last time we were in danger, it has passed. Just pay attention in the future. Moreover, I took the initiative to go to Shexian last time. If I don't go, where will they have the chance to take action?" The cute president said calmly. "Besides, since we can know the truth about this matter, after a while, the whole world will know the truth. The French are abominable, and the British are also abominable! With the support of the international community, this is not a bad thing."

"Your Majesty is too generous sometimes." Catherine couldn't help but say.

"Go and prepare for my meeting with the Russian Foreign Minister tonight. He will decide the location." The cute president said to Wang Zhankui.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Zhankui agreed.

Tsarist Russia is very important to China's diplomacy in Central Asia and Europe. In the view of the Emperor, it is even more important than the diplomacy of powerful countries such as Britain, France and Germany. Although Tsarist Russia is now in the process of transforming from slave and feudal form to capitalist form, and has just experienced war and is weak now, the Emperor Hua believes that Tsarist Russia is still a superpower.

Emperor Hua never underestimated Tsarist Russia.

Why was it difficult for the Qing court to withstand the invasions of the great powers, but Afghanistan was able to frustrate the British three times in a row during the same period? The main reason was that Tsarist Russia was behind it.

Now that Tsarist Russia's position in Central Asia was replaced by China, the situation became more complicated. At the same time, the Emperor of China believed that Tsarist Russia's influence in Central Asia and the Middle East was not only not reduced, but was more important. All parties would actively win over Tsarist Russia, especially Britain and France.

At present, China's main opponent is Britain and France, so the Emperor of China is trying to improve its relations with Tsarist Russia. Although China has been making such efforts, it is too difficult to take more than half of its land from Tsarist Russia.

Britain has attacked Afghanistan many times, and the Afghans have resisted it every time. However, the Afghans have won, but the UK has not achieved its established strategic goals.

The main ethnic group in Afghanistan is the Pashtun people, and this ethnic group has been very brave and good at fighting in history.

In the 18th century, the Pashtuns overthrew the local rule of the Mughal Empire and established a great empire.

Moreover, Afghanistan is originally a mountainous area with complex terrain and poor resources, which is very conducive to defense and not for offense.

The geographical environment of the Qing court could not keep up with Afghanistan. Of course, from a strategic perspective, this is a plain in the north of China, which is conducive to attack and defense. When the Eight-Nation Alliance came, Tsarist Russia and Japan were China's neighbors. At that time, Germany also established its own concession, or another colony on the Jiaodong Peninsula. They directly participated in the war to divide China.

Afghanistan is located in Central Asia, with many big powers nearby, Tsarist Russia, China, and India under the control of the powerful British Empire. Therefore, most of the wars in attacking Afghanistan were eventually delayed by the game of big powers, so Afghanistan is known as the "cemetery of imperialism."

Afghanistan has always been a British colonial area where Britain and Russia repeatedly compete for. Afghanistan survives between these two beasts.

In fact, the Emperor of China believed that Tsarist Russia needed Afghanistan more. Alexander II always hoped that Russia could have the estuary of the Indian Ocean, and Afghanistan was one of the important breakthroughs. After taking away Afghanistan, Tsarist Russia took the initiative in the war and could almost immediately attack British India. At that time, Tsarist Russia was a giant beast across the three oceans. Moreover, most importantly, Russia had the opportunity to completely get rid of its curse of not having frozen ports, and could block ships from various countries that were traveling through the Indian Ocean at any time.

Therefore, Russia and Britain have been hard steel here.

It’s a pity that Tsarist Russia’s national strength was not strong. Otherwise, in the eyes of Emperor Hua, Alexander II was a monarch with great talent and strategy, and was not just a conservative feudal monarch. The powerful transformation of Tsarist Russia later was mostly based on the foundation laid by Alexander II.

In the original history, Tsarist Russia's successor did not realize Alexander's ambition in Central Asia.

However, the Qing court was rich in land and Afghanistan was not annexed on the surface, but in fact it was similar to being annexed. It was just slightly better than India. The Qing court was taken turns to defeat the land and cede compensation, but in fact, China was only defeated on the surface: even after the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China and the Xin Chou Treaty was signed, the Qing government was able to survive for decades under the social turmoil and aggressive situation of the great powers, and successfully suppressed several uprisings carefully planned by the revolutionary party.

The demise of the Qing Dynasty was just a change of dynasty. After that, the history of the Republic of China proved that the foundation of this country had not been shaken. Not only was it difficult to fall to the point of destruction of the country, but it still had incomprehensible potential.

In contrast, although Afghanistan defeated Britain three times, Afghanistan almost fell in the entire territory in the three wars. In the end, it was only through people's wars and national wars that they could repel Britain. It can be said that three times were on the edge of being completely destroyed.

Moreover, Russia always stood behind the three British-Arab wars, which greatly increased the intensity of Afghanistan control by Russia. In the end, Tsarist Russia completely included Afghanistan into its sphere of influence. After that, Russia's control over Afghanistan was always strong, and it was not until the 1920s that it lost control over Afghanistan due to civil wars.

Therefore, the Emperor of China is confident that Tsarist Russia can control Afghanistan when it is weakest. Moreover, China is now thriving, and in fact, it has surpassed Tsarist Russia of Alexander II.

Since China is now a strong man compared to Tsarist Russia, what are the problems with taking the initiative to contact Tsarist Russia?

The weak actively contact the strong is to shake their tails and beg for mercy, and the strong actively contact the weak, that is different. This is demeanor.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Emperor Hua sat gracefully opposite the Tsarist Russian Foreign Minister Duke Maxim Kanunikov. Accompanying Emperor Hua was still Princess Katrina Kaf and Katherine.

Duke Maxim Kanunikov was very curious about why Emperor Hua had always been Western women, but he also admired Emperor Hua for this. It is indeed much more convenient to deal with other countries, especially with Western countries.

This is not a language problem. Emperor Hua himself can speak fluent English. The key is the feeling that it gives people. It makes people feel that Emperor Hua will not reject Westerners too much if he can get along well with Western women. When Duke Maxim Kanunikov dealt with the Qing court before, his first impression was that the ministers of the Qing court were very disgusted with contact with them.

Often, before the two sides started to talk, they began to confront each other.

The Emperor Hua made the atmosphere very harmonious before the two sides started talking.

"Why did your Majesty meet me? Don't you mind that I will arrange the meeting place in this Russian tavern? This tavern is very famous in Belgium, and many Russian businessmen like to come here." said the Duke of Maxim Kanunikov.

"I don't mind, the atmosphere here is very good and the environment is also very good, I like it very much." Emperor Hua smiled relaxedly. In fact, the cute president knew that this should be a Tsarist Russian spy base.

Not only China, but also China has similar organizations, but China is the most willing to spend money.
