97. Negotiation

Escorted by dozens of planes, the Chinese negotiators arrived in front of the Japanese group on a turbine shaft.

This is the first time that the Japanese people have observed the "big bird" of the Chinese people at close range, and this "big bird" can even go straight up and down, which is very convenient, and the reaction speed is also quite fast, and the technology is really advanced, far better than the airship. Coupled with the fact that they had personally experienced the attack power of this "big bird" before, they couldn't accept it.

Seeing that their opponents were so powerful, these important members of the Japanese military and political circles had a lot of balance in their hearts. They will lose to the Chinese, and they are really not wronged. Moreover, the fact that the Chinese people were able to create such a powerful weapon without telling the people of other countries is itself a manifestation of their strength. Although it is not known when this change began in Hwakoku, there is no doubt that after further understanding the strength of the Hwakoku people today, the attitude of the Japanese towards Hwasuka has changed a lot.

The Japanese have always admired the strong and despised the weak. At the beginning, they admired Chinese culture, so they took China as their teacher, and later they were detained by Western countries, and they saw the strength of Western countries, and they took Western countries as teachers, and they would only be with the strong.

Now, seeing that China has been able to develop to such a point in an environment where it has been bullied, and the aircraft they have built are not even comparable to those advanced and powerful Western countries, in addition to their indignation at China's invasion, they have more inexplicable reverence in their attitude toward China, and at the same time, they are even more convinced that China cannot be underestimated. Even if it is at an absolute disadvantage, this country has the ability to turn the tables, and if it treats China with the same attitude as before, it is not simply arrogant, but looking for death.

Now, they have planted a heel in Hua Guo, and when facing Hua Guo, they will naturally become cautious.

It was the first time for Crown Prince Hirohito to experience such a big scene, and he was still one of the protagonists in this scene today, so he couldn't help but clench his palms, and his hands were full of cold sweat. He was quite calm on his face, and he did not lose the bearing of the crown prince of a country, and for his age, it was good that he could do this.

The moment the hatch opened, Crown Prince Hirohito, along with his courtiers, stood in front of the turbine shaft.

The general who was in charge of the battle was not present, but was still on guard around him, and he would react as soon as anything happened.

"Guests from China are welcome to come to Japan." Crown Prince Hirohito greeted the government official with respect and friendliness, as if the two countries had not experienced a vicious war before, and that he had only come to Japan as an envoy of the Chinese government, and by the way, he had made friendship with the Japanese government.

The Chinese government official nodded, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Japan did seem to be more capable and ambitious than his father. However, in front of these old fritters, he was still a little immature.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not shown a strong sense of unwillingness and humiliation in his eyes when he said these words, his words would have been more convincing.

Chinese officials made only a cursory assessment of Japan's future masters, and did not pay much attention to Crown Prince Hirohito. After all, when he came this time, negotiating the contract was the first priority, and everything else was secondary. They want to cut off Japan's flesh and release Japan's blood, and as the Japanese authorities, if this group of people can still rejoice, he must wonder if they are brewing some conspiracy again.

A few years ago, when Chinese officials visited Japan, they always looked a little shorter in front of Japanese people who were generally not as tall as them. Without a strong national strength to rely on behind his back, he always has no confidence and can't stand up straight. Everyone wants to show their national integrity, and everyone wants to talk proudly about their motherland with other people, but diplomacy is always such a reality.

Now, feng shui is taking turns, and after the battle that has just been won, the officials of Huaguo can finally raise their eyebrows and puff up, and they don't have to say good things to the Japanese with their faces, but the Japanese turn their heads to please him.

Don't look at the two sides when they first met, they were so affectionate, but once the issue of interests is involved, the atmosphere is not friendly at all.

At the negotiation table, Crown Prince Hirohito and the cabinet members looked at the contracts listed by the Chinese government in black and white with ugly expressions, and it took a lot of effort from the boss to suppress the angry scolding that was about to be blurted out.

"Are these demands of your country too much? Your country has attacked our country, destroyed our air force and navy, blew up our palace and several streets, and caused us incalculable damage, yet your country still demands that we pay for such high war losses......"

Rao is cabinet elders have experienced a lot of things, and when they see the clauses, they almost break the results. It has been a long time since they have tasted such humiliation since the Meiji Restoration!

The Huaguo official sneered: "What, this feels excessive?" I remember that when your country attacked our country, the treaty proposed was even harsher than ours, and we were just learning from your country, and if your country was not satisfied and wanted to double the reparations, I didn't care! As for your country's accusations against you...... I don't think you have memory loss enough to remember who started this first, right? If your country opens fire on our country, will it not allow our legitimate defense? Your country is completely to blame for today's situation! ”

A mouthful of old blood almost spurted out of the mouths of the cabinet elders, but fortunately, they still remembered that they were a defeated country, annoyed the other party, and their own side had absolutely no good fruit to eat, so they forced down the sense of grievance in their hearts. They already know that it is impossible not to pay reparations, but they are still trying to reduce the reparations: "I'm sorry, we don't have so much money in our treasury, and even if we are willing to pay these reparations, I'm afraid we can't do it......"

The envoy of Huaguo suddenly interrupted him: "This is not a problem, if you can't pay it off at one time, then pay it back in two or three times, and if you can't pay it back in two or three times, then pay it back in a few years, the ability of your government will not be lower than the original Qing government, after all, Japan is a big country that prides itself on far surpassing the previous Qing Dynasty!" I believe that according to the ability of your Government, this indemnity will one day be repaid. After the high hat was put on, the Chinese envoy changed his words again: "However, if you have money, it is better for the government of your country to pay it back earlier, and every time it is delayed for a year, we will have to charge interest, and the longer your country drags on, the greater the loss, and the greater the pressure in the next year......

Speaking of which, in a word, if you want to reduce the price, there is no way!

As a defeated country, there is no room for bargaining! You only have to listen to what others say!

Of course, as the victorious country, China is not unkind, look, doesn't it allow you to repay the loan in installments within a few years? Isn't it enough? As for how the Japanese government is going to make up this compensation, whether it is to increase the amount of money and reduce expenditure, whether to increase taxes, or to steal and rob ...... In short, that's your business, and the Chinese government doesn't care about the process at all, only the result.

What Japan did to China at the beginning, how China treats Japan today, is very fair.

Therefore, don't go too far in life, and the same is true in state affairs. Even if you have the ability to bully others, you have to weigh yourself to a certain extent. If you bully people hard, when others are harder than yours, you should be careful!

Finally accepting the fact that a huge amount of compensation had to be repaid, Crown Prince Hirohito and the cabinet elders looked down and almost suffered a heart attack. Rao is that they have already been mentally prepared, and they did not expect that Hua Guo would actually make these requests.

Abolish the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" and a series of unequal contracts signed with the former Qing Dynasty, return the Penghu Islands to China, and withdraw all Japanese troops from China within three days, otherwise all of them will be killed......

The waters between Japan and China, whether on the high seas or Japan's territorial waters, are all owned by China, and Japan is not allowed to place naval warships along the way......

From now on, all warships of the Japanese Navy will be owned by China......

If Japan wanted to return the hostages captured in this campaign, they had to pay for it, and the price was different from the generals to the soldiers. Those who were not redeemed within the time limit would be dispersed and sent to various parts of China to work as coolies......

……

The further down they looked, the more ugly the expressions of Crown Prince Hirohito and the cabinet members became. If all these terms are accepted, Japan can wait for the death of the country! Ceding its territorial waters to China and not being able to set up naval warships along the way means that from now on, Japan will open its doors wide and have no defenses in front of China?

I can't say it, I can't say it to death!

If these treaties are agreed, it is better to let them die with the Chinese people now!

Although the air force and navy are gone, they still have the army, which is really not good, and they can still recruit from among the people......

Suddenly, a bullet fell from the top of everyone's heads and exploded outside the conference room, blasting a crater in the ground and shattering the musings of the cabinet elders.

Only then did the cabinet elders and Crown Prince Hirohito remember that the air force of Huaguo was still hovering over their heads!

Agreeing to China's request, Japan's national strength will be greatly weakened in the future, and its national prestige will be lost, and it will even fall to a point where it is inferior to Japan before the Meiji Restoration; did not agree to Huaguo's request...... Maybe they're going to die today!

Crown Prince Hirohito gritted his teeth, and the nerves in his mind tensed to the extreme.

…… What should I choose?
