At the end of the 19th century, the mainstream of human social polity was, of course, monarchy or imperialism, whether in Europe or Asia, almost all countries had kings and emperors. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tsarist Russia is also an imperial country, and Andreev also has absolute respect for the tsar in his heart, so the emperor of the ancient empire of the Qing Dynasty is naturally an unattainable mountain in his heart.

"Andreev of the Far East Barracks of the Tsarist Russian Empire visited His Majesty...... "When you see the emperor, you have to kneel, this is the rule, but Andreev bows on one knee instead of both knees, but it is enough to kneel on such occasions, and Andreev's psychological disadvantage has been formed in the negotiations.

Xiang Ying, who was watching from the back of the crowd, shook his head helplessly, "With the prestige of the prime minister, you can only get a salute, but Zaichun can make the Rakshasa ghost kneel down and salute just by relying on that skin, this fucking reasoning ......."

Time was pressing, Xiao Letian didn't have time to pay attention to Xiang Ying's nagging, he said to Andreev, "Say what you mean! If I hadn't seen civilians on your sampan, I wouldn't have let you get on the ship! Now that the war has entered the final stage, aren't you definitely a little redundant for you to come?"

Andrifu stood up from the ground and nodded helplessly, "Yes, Prime Minister, I am indeed late, but my inner conscience still compels me to come to see you...... Straight to the point, I am willing to surrender to you, and I only have one request: I hope that the Prime Minister will be able to protect the lives and property of the prisoners and citizens!"

"Hahaha......" Before Xiao Letian could speak, Xiang Ying and the surrounding naval officers and soldiers all laughed wildly, "Surrender? negotiation? Do you still want the safety of life and property?"

Jin Sanshun, the internal affairs chief of the Zhiyuan, laughed almost angrily, "Hahaha...... The security of your property? I ask you, what property do you have? Everything in this city, all the things you have, which one did not come from plundering the remnants of the Far East? Now you tell us about the security of your property?"

"As for the safety of life, it is even more ridiculous, when have you protected the lives of our remnants in the Far East? And the lives of the native-born ethnic minorities, which of you has protected them?"

"The bones of the Great Qingdao Gold Mine are not cold, and the souls slaughtered by you are still watching from the sky, what do you still say about the safety of your life? Do you deserve it...... If it had been yesterday, before we went to war, if you could have come and negotiated, we might have taken it seriously, but now ......"

"The whole city is about to be liberated, and at this time you come to tell me what kind of safety? We will protect you......

With a bang, all the sailors around laughed.

Andreev's face was purple, he had never suffered such a shame in his life, he wanted to explode, he wanted to punch this fat man and smash him in the face.

But looking at the frightened citizen representatives around him, he finally endured it, gritting his steel teeth, the Nordic man lowered his head, "I'm sorry, I'm not the commander-in-chief of the war, I'm just the commander of a vanguard battalion, and I can't call the shots about grand strategy......"

"Wait......" Xiao Letian's eyes suddenly lit up, "what did you say? You can't call the shots, what does this mean? Didn't you get permission from Tiachenko? You negotiated on your own?"

With a buzz, the people around were stunned, and even Wang Huaiyuan, the director of the CIA, frowned, "Nonsense! Prime Minister, put him in a dungeon, this is really delaying our time, without the authorization of Tiachenko and Ettolin, what kind of bullshit power negotiation does his small battalion commander have! What a waste of time......"

The soldier next to him shook his rifle in his hand, and the bright bayonet was aimed at Andreev, "Go, be honest!"

Xiao Lotian suddenly stretched out his hand to stop everyone, and at this time, Xiao Letian's eyes showed a trace of excitement, very, very excited.

"Andreev is putting ...... Nicknamed Man Xiong, the commander of the vanguard battalion in the Tsarist army in the Far East, his fame was only below that of Tiachenko and Aitolin...... I have your name in my intelligence system, and you have a lot of information!"

"The descendants of the declining aristocratic families of Moscow have an extremely stubborn personality, otherwise you should be a division commander at the least of your ability...... Am I right? Poor, I've been in the army for 20 years and I'm just a battalion commander......."

Andreev's face suddenly turned red, "First ...... We have indeed failed, but I will not accept your insults......"

"No, no, no, I'm not insulting you, on the contrary, I still appreciate you...... Let me guess what you're here for!" Xiao Lotian paced on the deck with his hands behind his back.

"Now that the defeat in Vladivostok has been decided, and your organization is probably all disrupted, will you not be able to find your superiors......? Oh, I know that Tiachenko and Aitolin are hiding on the Aleut, have they lost control of the battlefield?"

"Soldiers can't find generals, they won't find soldiers, your structure has been completely disrupted, and you know very well in your heart that no one can count on it now! But you still have a little bit of kindness and responsibility in your heart, and you have met these fearful citizens, and they are praying for your protection, right?"

"But you have no way to protect them by force, and you have no choice but to try your luck with me, expecting me to be a kind ...... Or that a gentleman can be deceived in all his ways, what if I'm a pedantic fool......?

"Hahaha, in the eyes of you Europeans, aren't the Chinese intellectuals all fools who can be kidnapped by morality? As long as you wear more high hats, you will naturally be able to get benefits......

Andreev's face turned red when he was told of it, and he stomped his foot for the last time: "Okay, even if you are right, if you don't negotiate, you won't negotiate! If you want to kill, you can be killed! I am a fighter, and if I die, I will die...... I only hope that you will give these people a chance to live, and stop slaughtering the city!

"Slaughter the city?" the smile on Xiao Letian's face froze, "Has there been a massacre of the city?"

The Zhiyuan is on the sea, and it can only watch the general evolution of the battle situation, and the limited intelligence transmission will not report the trivial matter of Fuso samurai killing women and children, and it is a common thing to kill civilians in war.

But unconscious accidental injury and conscious slaughter are completely two different concepts, Xiao Letian is not pedantic, he knows that accidental injury is inevitable, but conscious slaughter is even more intolerable to him.

"It's no wonder that after the early hours of the morning, the line of fire was stalemate in the four-kilometer salient, and it's no wonder that at that time, your Tsarist army fought several counterattacks in a row...... That's why!"

Xiao Lotian fell into deep thought.
