Speke felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, every time he negotiated with the Ming Empire, they were full of confidence, but they were weak.

There's no way, the Ming Empire is too strong, even if it's unreasonable, you have to listen, because, if you don't accept it, people will do it, and you never hesitate.

He sorted out his words, and then said in as tactful a tone as possible: "Your Excellency, it seems that neither of us mentioned Spain and Portugal in the last treaty?" “

Sun Chuanting shook his head directly and said: "Your Excellency Speke, please be reasonable, it's like the two of us are fighting, and we say that we won't fight, but as a result, as soon as I turned around, you rushed up and beat my friend, is this reasonable?" “

Reasonable? Who is unreasonable, Spain and Portugal were not mentioned in the contract!

There's no way, people have hard fists, if they want to change to their own hard fists, Speke will definitely say unceremoniously: "I'll beat your friend, what's the matter, I don't accept you to beat me!" “

However, now, they are the weak side, and moreover, the Ming Empire has already fought.

He had no choice but to plead aggrievedly: "Your Excellency, these are two different things, we have signed an armistice treaty, and it is not the same as fighting. “

Sun Chuanting said solemnly: "No, Your Excellency Speke, this is one thing, as soon as we withdrew our troops, you rushed up to fight our allies, how can this be reasonable?" “

This guy can't get in, Speke is really a little hot, but the purpose of his peace talks is not to anger the Ming Empire, but to let the Ming Empire retreat, or ask the Ming Empire about the conditions for the withdrawal of the Ming Empire.

He took a deep breath, held back his anger, and said tentatively: "Okay, let's not talk about the armistice treaty, our mind must be that His Excellency the Marshal also understands, we hope that your country can immediately stop the invasion of Tsarist Russia, I wonder if your country can value peace and withdraw its troops immediately?" “

Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "It's not impossible for us to withdraw immediately, but you must show sincerity first." “

Sincerity, is it money again?

If it's only a few million taels, it's acceptable, after all, it's not a matter of a few million taels to send hundreds of thousands of troops over to resist the Ming Empire.

Speke asked hopefully, "I wonder what sincerity Your Excellency Marshal is talking about?" “

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he said expressionlessly: "It's very simple, you immediately lift the blockade of the sea west of the European continent, withdraw all the warships to their respective countries, and compensate our Ming Empire, Spain and Portugal with 10 million taels of silver each, and we will withdraw our troops immediately." “

When Speke heard this, he was so angry that he almost didn't spurt blood, this is still called simple, in this way, doesn't it mean that the entire anti-Habsburg coalition has admitted defeat, surrendered, and has since withdrawn from the battle for hegemony at sea!

This is simply impossible, he held back his anger and shook his head resolutely: "Your Excellency Marshal, I can tell you very responsibly that this is impossible. “

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he replied stiffly: "Your Excellency Speke, then I am also very responsible to tell you that if you don't withdraw the army, you want us to withdraw the army, which is also impossible." “

It seems that it is useless to just endure it, there must be some hard guys, Speke said coldly: "Your Excellency Marshal, do you think that you can defeat our entire anti-Habsburg alliance with just two or three hundred thousand people?" You're forcing us to join forces. “

Sun Chuanting also said coldly: "It's your business whether you send troops or not, anyway, if you don't withdraw the army, we won't withdraw the army, it's as simple as that." “

It was too arrogant, Speke couldn't bear it, and he said angrily directly: "Your Excellency, Marshal, if you insist on not withdrawing your troops, we can only unite to defend the territory of our allies." “

Oh, and the threat is opened, just to ask you to send more people, Sun Chuanting said coolly and provocatively: "Your Excellency Speke, no matter what you say, we will not withdraw first, what do you want, we will accompany you at any time." “

The meaning is already obvious, if there is a war, there will be a war, who is afraid of whom!

This time, Speke is not as columsy as last time, and the war is a battle, and the six allies together can't beat your two or three hundred thousand people.

He stood up directly and said coldly: "Your Excellency Marshal, since this is the case, then we will leave." “

With that, he waved his hand, turned around and left with the negotiating delegation.

Sun Chuanting didn't bother to get up, he sat there directly, and said coldly to Speke's back: "It's good to go, don't send it." “

This clearly shows that he is bullying, and Sun Chuanting's attitude made the negotiators of the six countries angry.

After returning to the imperial capital of Tsarist Russia, Speke immediately convened a meeting with them to discuss the issue of supporting Tsarist Russia.

Before these negotiators came, they were more or less instructed by the authorities of various countries, and at the same time, they also had the corresponding authorization, if the Ming Empire did not withdraw its troops, then organize a coalition to do it with them!

After discussion, a specific plan was decided.

Sweden and Denmark each sent 100,000 troops to support Tsarist Russia;

The British and French each provided 500 artillery pieces to defend against the Ming army's attack;

The Netherlands contributed about four million taels of silver for military expenses.

As for Tsarist Russia, they immediately sent people to build a defensive line about 200 miles in front of the Ming army, preparing to resist the attack of the Ming Empire.

With the rapid movement of various countries, the continuous confluence of all kinds of supplies to Tsarist Russia, and the arrival of Swedish and Danish troops, a major war seemed inevitable.

Sun Chuanting was not intimidated by Speke's threat, he still commanded the army, and escorted the construction corps to slowly build the railway line to the hinterland of Tsarist Russia.

The location chosen by Tsarist Russia was on the west bank of the Wuhe River, about two hundred miles in front of the Ming army, because the Wuhe River was an inland river, it was impossible for the Ming Empire's navy to enter, so they didn't have to worry about the Ming Empire's super battleships bombarding the coastal fortifications at all.

Moreover, this section of the Wuhe River is almost half a mile wide, and there is no bridge, so the Ming Empire's army will not be able to reach the other side of the river at all, so as long as the fortress and fort are built on the opposite bank to prevent the Ming Empire from repairing the bridge, it will be difficult for the Ming Empire to continue to build the railway, unless they change the route, or send troops to detour back to the left and right sides of the defense line to take down the defense line first.

Will Sun Chuanting change his course? Of course not, he just wanted to fight a war of attrition with the enemy, and he didn't really want to take the whole of Tsarist Russia.

As for the roundabout attack, it is even more impossible, he only brought a total of 200,000 horses, and went around to attack people's forts and batteries, which was looking for death.

Almost a month later, the Ming army finally built the railway to the opposite bank of the anti-Habsburg allied defense line.

At this time, the Ming army did not rush to attack the defense line of the coalition army, but built a large fortress about ten miles away from the river bank, and also built a large railway station.

After waiting nervously for almost half a month, the Ming army finally attacked.

Dozens of armored fighting vehicles lined up on the other side of the river, slowly advancing to a place less than a mile away from the river, and immediately after, countless artillery roars sounded behind the armored fighting vehicles, enough for thousands of shells to cover the defense line on the west bank like a dark cloud!

It seems that the Ming army wants to flatten the defense line first, and then organize people to build bridges, or attack in a roundabout way.

Naturally, the combined forces of the anti-Habsburg powers will not stand still, they also have thousands of artillery pieces, and they are also the latest cannons, and their firepower is not much worse than that of the Ming army.

As a result, the artillery on both sides of the Wuhe River is roaring in unison, and the two sides are bombarding each other every day.
