Chapter 1208 Three Eyes of the Horse Prince
As a result, the British Empire did not let Ito Hirobundo wait this time.
In just one night, Balfour summoned Ito Hirobumi again with two panda eyes, but the image of Ito Hirobumi at this time is worse than that of Balfour, at least Belfort, as a gentleman, is still very protective of his image and well-dressed.
At this time, Ito Hirofumi was afraid that he hadn't shaved for three or four days, his clothes hadn't been washed and changed for a few days, and his hair had lost its previous luster, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn't rested well for a few days.
Balfour said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ito, since you left last night, I have been anxious for the cabinet to hold an emergency meeting, and after a night of urgent consultations, it has finally been decided that we will support your country with practical actions, and the Republic of China has braved the world's condemnation and invaded Japan, which is really an unforgivable crime!" First, we will cooperate with France and Tsarist Russia to mediate, and second, the British Empire government will announce that it will officially send troops to Japan to intervene in the Sino-Japanese war. Third, ask Tsarist Russia to send troops from Siberia at this time and threaten the Mongolian plateau, hehe, I don't believe that this Chinese tiger really dares to desperately try to capture the entire Japanese island! ”
Ito Hirobumi's eyes lit up all of a sudden, if he could really do this, the Republic of China would definitely retreat as soon as possible, and Japan would be safe!
But then, Balfour said: "However, you also know, Mr. Ito Hirobumi, the Republic of China is by no means comparable to the Qing court, and now it has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and we still try to ease the situation as a last resort, and now is not the time for the two sides to fight a decisive battle, first of all, it is now close to winter, and Tsarist Russia can only bluff, and it is impossible to launch a military operation in the cold Siberia, and France can only give your country moral support, It was very difficult for the British Empire to really win the battle. If there is still the slightest possibility of reconciliation between China and Japan, we should tolerate one step for the time being......"
The meaning of Balfour's words is already obvious, that is, we can support you little Japan, but you should not be ignorant, and when it is time to make concessions, you must make concessions. Otherwise, when the time comes. The jade is burned, it is not beneficial to either party, and now that the Chinese Revolutionary Army has taken the absolute initiative, it is obvious that the lion of the Republic of China will open his mouth and slaughter it ruthlessly.
Ito Hirobumi's face suddenly darkened again, it seems that without absolute strength as a backing, he will never be able to straighten his waist. If it is between Germany and the Republic of China, the Kaiser is arrogant, and he will not dare to treat Zhang Jianzhi like this!
Hirobumi Ito replied: "I understand what you mean, Mr. Balfour, that we are now under the nest, and of course we have to make some concessions. But you also know that after this great war, our empire's treasury has been exhausted, where is there still resources for the Republic of China to claim? ”
Balfour said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry about this, there is naturally our full support for your country behind you." If Zhang Jianzhi doesn't know each other, it's not impossible to give them a hard time! ”
When Ito Hirobumi heard this, his face looked good, and he asked hesitantly: "In that case, what happened to France and Tsarist Russia?" Will they accede to our offer? ”
Balfour laughed: "There is no problem with this, not just these two countries. Together with the United States, we have also sent a telegram to President McKinley, although we have not received a positive response, but the Americans are still willing to come forward on the issue of mediation, we still have room for maneuver in this matter, before noon today, the official documents of the United States, France and Russia will be sent, and when the time comes, we will also send a telegram asking the Republic of China to cease war and convene peace talks, presumably the Chinese tiger will not refuse, he is a smart man, even if he destroys all the Japanese army, it will not be of much use, In Japan itself, except for the Guards Division, all the main forces are not there, and there is no benefit except for damaging their international image! ”
Belfour paused and said: "Besides, for the sake of insurance and in order to determine the strategic pattern of the world, after my proposal, the British Empire plans to convene a meeting of the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, the United States, China, Japan, Austria and Italy in Beijing. ”
Hirobumi Ito was secretly excited and thanked Balfour for his kindness!
By noon, all the callbacks from various countries had arrived, and they all supported the British government's mediation on the issue of the Sino-Japanese war!
Ito Hirobumi completely let go of his sorrows, at least the empire won a chance to breathe, otherwise, under the sudden blow, it is difficult to say whether even His Majesty the Emperor can keep it!
Balfour smiled: "Alright, Mr. Ito Hirobumi, the first step has been taken, and we will immediately draft the electrification!" ”
Soon, the telegram was completely drawn up, and after being confirmed by the leaders of various countries, it was sent from London to all parts of the country!
The five-nation joint initiative to stop the war between China and Japan and build peace: the beginning of the new world, the war between China and Japan has continued to ......
The entire telegram severely reprimanded the Chinese Revolutionary Army for landing in Japan and causing bloody killings in Japan, demanding that the Chinese Revolutionary Army immediately stop the war and withdraw from Japan, and that the leaders of various countries gather in Beijing to make all-out efforts to mediate the Sino-Japanese war, and that the British Empire and the Japanese Empire are allies and have the obligation to protect the security of the Japanese mainland.
The telegram soon arrived in Zhang Yi's hands, Zhang Yi's face was gloomy, and he smiled gloomily, now he wants Lao Tzu to stop the war, earlier, what did you group of people do, this time Lao Tzu just won't give you face, doesn't the British want to send troops to intervene, Lao Tzu will let you interfere once, give you a chance! If I don't give you some color, you don't know that Ma Wang Ye has three eyes!
Zhang Yi shouted: "Someone, call Tang Shaochuan immediately, call in response, for the threat given by the British Empire, the Republic of China is strongly dissatisfied and does not accept it, put the position right and talk to Lao Tzu!" Call Xu Huaijin and order the Japanese Chinese Revolutionary Army to choose the weakest place in Japan and stab me fiercely, this knife stabbed me hard, and it must make little Japan hurt for a hundred years! ”
Zhang Yi still didn't understand his hatred, and said: "Order our troop carriers to sail to Taiwan immediately, and the Taiwan army will be ready immediately, let them see, we are not only three divisions landing in Japan, if they don't bow their heads, then 100,000 troops will land in Japan!" Let's see if they dare to play sideways! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
