Chen Lanbin sneered: "Since this is the case, it seems that there is no need for us to negotiate peace!" Mr. Bourblon, it seems that your mediation has failed! ”

After speaking, he stood up, and it turned out that he really didn't leave any room at all, and was directly preparing to end the negotiation and leave. As soon as Burbulon wanted to speak, Chen Lanbin turned his head and ordered the soldiers next to him: "By the way, except for our old friend Minister Burbulon of the Chinese Empire, the rest of these people, we suspect that they are all spies of the enemy country, send them to the barracks for careful interrogation, and if necessary, they can be tortured to ask what conspiracy they have, and who is the mastermind behind them?"

Oh, by the way, Sir Bao Ling is still known to us, he has been in the Chinese Empire for many years, and is familiar with our situation, and now that our Chinese Empire is at war with the British, in order to clear his suspicion that he is a spy of the British army, we have detained him in our country to avoid misunderstanding. Others, according to the enemy country's spies! ”

After listening to Chen Lanbin's words, several soldiers next to him pounced like wolves, ready to twist Dugameli and Babkov together. Seeing this, Burbulon was in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Chen Lanbin, who was about to leave, and said, "Director Chen is angry, there is something to say, there is something to say!" ”

Of course, Chen Lanbin wanted to give Burbulon face, he was just putting on a show, and he stopped when he saw this.

Seeing that there was room for maneuvering, Bourblon hurriedly said, "Director Chen, Sir Bao Ling just said that such conditions are too harsh. Peace talks, peace talks, only in harmony can we negotiate, so why be angry? If you have a problem, you can take it down and negotiate, and there is no need to stop talking about it.

Everyone, listen to my advice, sit down and have a good talk. ”

Chen Lanbin took advantage of the situation to sit down again and said, "I'll give Mr. Burblon face!" Now let me make it clear, my Chinese empire is not afraid of war, let alone war! It's a big deal, you can continue to fight without peace talks! In this respect, our terms will not be compromised, but for the sake of Mr. Minister, it is not completely unnegotiable, the key is to see your sincerity! ”

Bourblon hurriedly nodded in thanks: "Thank you Director Chen for your understanding!" Let's first discuss this "Sino-British Armistice Memorandum". Sir Bao Ling, if you have any ideas, you can put them forward first. With that, Bourblon glanced at Bao Ling.

Bao Ling understood and immediately said: "Director Chen, the reason why I complained that the conditions of this memorandum are too harsh is actually because of these two points. First, the warships of the British Empire were not allowed to set foot in the waters of the Pacific and Indian Oceans without the permission of the Chinese Empire; The second is to hand over former Prime Minister Russell to your country for trial. We in the British Empire are really unable to do these two things. As for the rest, I think it shouldn't be a big problem, but can it be a little better in the literal description, after all, the Kingdom of Great Britain is the number one power in the world, and it is directly written to cede all overseas territories, which will make Queen Victoria and all the people of the Kingdom of Great Britain very embarrassed and unacceptable. ”

Chen Lanbin immediately understood when he heard this, and he nodded: "I understand Sir Bao Ling's worries. The description may be slightly modified, but the actual content of these terms cannot be changed. This is the bottom line of our Chinese empire, which cannot be shaken! Therefore, I suggest that it can be described as follows: first, British merchant ships, etc., other than warships, can sail freely in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and accept the protection of the warships of the Chinese Empire; Second, some of the main war criminals who provoked the war were handed over to the Chinese Empire for trial. As for other statements such as the cession of all overseas territories in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, they can be written as words such as voluntarily ceding these overseas territories. Isn't that better? ”

Sir Bao Ling was a little relieved, but he was still a little embarrassed: "Director Chen, such conditions are actually a bit too harsh. All the overseas territories in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, that's too ......."

Chen Lanbin said a little unhappily: "What's the matter, Mr. Bao Ling, you still have pain?" These overseas territories were originally seized by your country with a powerful navy, and now that the navy is defeated, it is natural to give it up, doesn't Mr. Bao Ling understand this truth? Besides, what of today's overseas territories in the Pacific and Indian Oceans remain in your hands? ”

When Bao Ling heard this, he was suddenly a little gloomy.

Indeed, what did he learn about the fact that only the Chagos Archipelago, a small remote archipelago in the Indian Ocean, and some small islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean that resembled the Pitcairn Islands, could not be inhabited at all, so what was the point? Just like the other side said, in the entire Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, the vast majority of British territories and strongholds have been occupied by the other side, since it is already a de facto occupation, even if you admit it or not, they have already been occupied, what difference does it make?

For the Chinese Empire, it may just be a matter of getting a proper name. But if you insist on not agreeing, it will not have much impact on it at all. On the contrary, it gave the other side an excuse to launch a more far-reaching offensive with more brazenness, and perhaps take the opportunity to enter Africa and attack the British Empire's territories in Africa and even in the Atlantic. In this case, the gains outweigh the losses.

Thinking of this, Bao Ling could only nod and silently follow Chen Lanbin's approach.

In addition to Chen Lanbin, the happiest person is Burbulon.

With a smile on his face, he smiled at Bao Ling and Chen Lanbin, and said, "Congratulations to the two of you for reaching a consensus." In that case, why not sign a formal memorandum on this? ”

Chen Lanbin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there are these two gentlemen from Russia!" What do you think? ”

Seeing that the envoys of the British Empire had retreated one after another, Dugamery knew that with his own strength, it was impossible to stop anything, not to mention that today's Russia must be a chaotic internal strife as the newspaper said, and it is estimated that the two new tsars have long been thrown out of the sky in order to compete for the throne. But even if his own strength is low, he cannot become a sinner of the Russian Empire, Dugamery's chest was full of righteousness, and he said proudly: "Director Chen, I will never agree to such conditions!" If you want to send someone to arrest us as a spy of the Warring States, please do it! ”

Babkov, who was next to him, moved his lips and wanted to say something, but he was shocked by Dugamery's momentum and did not dare to speak.

Chen Lanbin didn't expect that this Russian guy had a bit of backbone, but he was embarrassed. Could it be that if you really put these two Russians in prison and tortured them, you can only be a little majestic, how much point is there? Originally, he was just scareping, but he didn't expect to meet a guy who was not afraid of death.

was embarrassed, and there was a sound of laughter in the back hall, but it was Wu Ruxiao who took a big step and walked into the meeting hall.

"Mr. Bourblon, Sir Bauling, are old friends. These two are the emissaries of Russia, right? Wu Ruxiao said to Dugameli and Babkov: "Mr. is strong and patriotic, Wu deeply admires. But I regret to tell you that Wu has just received an urgent military report from the front, which is the good news about the great victory of our Chinese Empire's Western Expeditionary Army on all fronts. ”
