After listening to Li Sanjie's words, Oda Kiri's expression was also very embarrassed, although Japan really needs a helper who can help itself share the pressure of Russia, but because the Japanese always like to be greedy for urination, and short-sighted, and good at calculating details, Oda Che also wants to take advantage of the opportunity of overseas Chinese to ask for help from Yu Ben, and ask for more benefits from overseas Chinese to take advantage Chinese of them. ≈≥≠.≤8≈1≤Z≤≥.=C≈O≈M≠ but he didn't expect that he had not opened his mouth before he was unceremoniously blocked by the other party, and his attitude was extremely resolute, and if Oda Kiri put forward conditions again, he would immediately interrupt this meeting, and even said that overseas Chinese would fight against Russia alone.

In the face of Li Sanjie's threat, Oda Che did not dare to take it lightly at all, because during the negotiations in Shanghai, no one would believe that the overseas Chinese would suddenly break off the negotiations and immediately launch an attack on Beijing, and as a result, it only took three days to capture Beijing, so that the Eight-Nation Alliance was basically wiped out, and the alliances of various countries also existed in name only. Therefore, Oda Che never doubted that if he insisted on making conditions to Li Sanjie again, Li Sanjie would indeed leave without hesitation.

Although Oda did not know whether the overseas Chinese were capable of fighting the Russian attack alone, it was very clear that Japan alone would not be able to confront Russia without help. Although Britain has always supported Japan, Oda Kiri also knows that Britain will only provide intelligence and weapons support, but will never use force to help Japan fight the war. Moreover, there is indeed a kind of call in Japan now, that is, to join forces with overseas Chinese to fight against Russia, and even to make certain concessions to overseas Chinese, such as withdrawing from the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the pressure caused by Bijing Russia to Japan is indeed not small, and the entire Japanese government is in a state of tension, although the military department is constantly clamoring for a decisive war with Russia, but it is also a matter of being stubborn, after all, the military is not in charge of state power, and it is not a matter of letting go of its mouth cannons, disgusting the ruling faction, and boosting its own prestige.

And now the overseas Chinese have taken the initiative to come to Japan to talk about joining forces to resist Russia, which is naturally a rare opportunity, and the overseas Chinese have obviously reached some kind of agreement with the British before coming to the Japanese consulate, so if they are messed up by themselves, not only will Japan lose a powerful helper, but also offend the British, then they will no longer have to be the Shanghai consul, but will directly cover up and leave.

In a short moment, countless thoughts flashed through Oda Che's mind, and finally came to the conclusion that he could only give up the dispersal of the conditions proposed to overseas Chinese, so he hurriedly bowed to Li Sanjie again and said: " Mr. Li, it may be that I did not make my meaning clear, and you have misunderstood, but I mean that although Russia did not invade Japan's territory, it did pose a great threat to Japan, so it is indeed beneficial for both of us to fight against Russia, and our help to you is absolutely free of any conditions, please rest assured of this. ”

Li Sanjie listened, and he also admired this devil a little, and the words he said could not only be pulled back, but also rounded, and he had some ability, but since the other party expressed his softness, there was no need for him to be unrelenting, Bi Jing is now the biggest threat to the crossing group is Russia, and uniting Japan against Russia is very necessary for the crossing group at this stage, so he went down the ladder and went down the wall, saying: "Oh, I'm sorry, I was too anxious to say without hearing the words of Mr. Consul clearly." ”

Oda Che smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just make it clear." ”

Li Sanjie said: "Mr. Consul, Russia's aggression against Northeast China is the main reason for the current crisis in Northeast Asia, and Russia's excessive greed for land and its expansionist ambitions have caused tremendous pressure on us and Japan. Frankly, neither of us has the strength to stand up to Russia alone, but if we join forces, we will be able to contain Russia's ambitions and expansion.

Oda Che nodded again and again, and said, "What Mr. said is very reasonable, but what kind of help do you need from us to resist the southward advance of the Russian army this time?"

Li Sanjie smiled, shook his head and said: "If we just resist the southward advance of the Russian army, then it is enough to rely on our own strength, and we don't need any help from Japan." ”

According to the results of the exchanges, Oda Kiri basically came to the conclusion that although the overseas Chinese have won a lot of successive victories in both sides of the sea and the 6th Army, on the whole, the gold content of the victory of the overseas Chinese navy is higher than that of the 6th Army, after all, the overseas Chinese navy has five large warships, and defeated the German Far East Fleet with four 10,000-ton large warships on the battlefield, and this battle can be said to be full of gold content。

In contrast, the victories achieved by overseas Chinese in 6 places are not so convincing, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was originally a ghost with its own intentions, unable to form a joint force, and there was no logistical supply, while Weihai, There are not many defenders in Qingdao, and at the same time overseas Chinese also have naval support, so these victories achieved by overseas Chinese are far inferior to the navy, and according to the intelligence collected by the Japanese side, when the 6th was first boarded, the size of the 6th army of overseas Chinese was about 1ooo people, and now the size of the 6th army is about 15,000, all of which were recruited from the people of the Qing Dynasty after the 6th, so the combat power is definitely not strong there.

Although the Russian army can only dispatch about 30,000 troops at most, which is about the same as the strength of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Russian army's combat effectiveness has always been strong, and the operational command of the whole army is unified, and there will never be a situation in which the Eight-Nation Coalition Forces do not cooperate with each other, and even dismantle each other; moreover, the Russian army now basically controls the northeast region of China, and although there is no railway connection from the northeast region to Shanhaiguan, and it is very difficult to transport materials, the Russian army has such a vast rear after all, and there will not be such a phenomenon of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army completely cutting off logistics and replenishment。 Therefore, in the face of such a powerful opponent, even Yu Ben did not dare to speak of victory lightly, why did the overseas Chinese say that they could resist the attack of the Russian army alone without the help of Japan.

Now the victory or loss of overseas Chinese is not only their business, but also the fate of Japan, so Oda Kiri can't help but ask: "Can you really resist the attack of the Russian army alone?"

In fact, Li Sanjie doesn't know anything about the military, but the Military Commission thinks that if he can resist the attack of the Russian army, then he will definitely be able to resist, and the traverser has never pinned his safety on others, even if he wants to unite with others, he must have enough strength himself, so Li Sanjie is also full of confidence, and said: "Of course, and this time to resist the Russian army, we can only rely on ourselves, is it difficult for Japan to send troops to help us?"

Oda Che was stunned, it is indeed impossible for Japan to send troops to help overseas Chinese resist the attack of the Russian army, and it is impossible to even support some weapons and ammunition for overseas Chinese, because the war may have ended after thousands of miles of transportation from Japan, and Li Sanjie's sentence "We can only rely on ourselves" also gave Oda Che a deep feeling, although this group of people is also of Chinese descent, but it is indeed very different from the Qing Kingdom. Therefore, he had to smile bitterly and said, "Then what help do you need from us?"

Li Sanjie said: "If we just fight against the southward advance of the Russian army, it is enough for us to rely on ourselves, but to curb Russia's expansion and force Russia to withdraw from China's northeast region, to be honest, we are still beyond our strength, and we need to join forces with Japan to get it, so when I say cooperation, I mean this large-scale cooperation, not only for the Russian army's southward advance." ”

After listening to Li Sanjie's words, Oda Che understood the meaning of the so-called cooperation, and his mind also quickly calculated the gains and losses, if the overseas Chinese can block the southward advance of the Russian army, it will naturally be beneficial to Japan, but as long as Russia still occupies Northeast China, the threat to Japan will not disappear, so it is of course a good suggestion for Japan to join forces with overseas Chinese to put pressure on Russia and force Russia to withdraw from Northeast China.

However, Japan is dissatisfied with Russia's invasion and occupation of Northeast China, not only to defend the Korean Peninsula, but also to peek into the land of Northeast China, Bijing Korean Peninsula is just a springboard, if it and overseas Chinese jointly put pressure on Russia, even if Russia is forced to withdraw from Northeast China, Japan may not be able to occupy much in Northeast China, but the top priority now is to confront Russia, so it is still a necessary choice to unite with overseas Chinese, as for how to occupy the land of Northeast China in the future, then we will find a way. So Oda Che nodded and said, "Then how should we cooperate?"

Li Sanjie saw that the conversation was almost over, so he told Xiao Tian Che about the results and requirements of the discussion with Huo Bilan, and after listening to Li Sanjie's words, Xiao Tian Che was also relieved, after all, what he was supposed to do was to be the first country to withdraw from the Eight-Nation Alliance, which was not a difficult task, anyway, the Eight-Nation Alliance was over, and with the cooperation of the United Kingdom, it was simply a gesture. Now it will only be up to the overseas Chinese to defeat the Russian army.

So Oda Che said: "Mr. Li, I will immediately report your suggestion to the country, I think the domestic government will accept Mr. Li's opinion and unite against Russia, so I will reply to you as soon as possible." ”

Li Sanjie nodded, knowing that he had persuaded the devil, so he got up to say goodbye, and Oda Che repeatedly asked him to rest in the consulate, and hinted to Li Sanjie that there would be a special program tonight, but Li Sanjie really had no appetite for the two Japanese geisha whose faces were like zombies, so he politely declined.

Seeing Li Sanjie's resolute attitude, Xiao Tian Che did not force it, but gave Li Sanjie a heavy small box, and opened it to see that it contained four gold bars. Li Sanjie couldn't help but secretly think that Little Japan was really generous, but this gold should not be in vain, so he accepted it disrespectfully.
