Chapter 199: Verbal Argument (2)



c_t; China and Japan have only been arguing at the negotiating table for more than an hour, each attacking its own opponent. Envoys from various countries have long been accustomed to such things.

The British minister, Juerdian, rubbed his temples vigorously and raised his voice and exclaimed, "Everyone, everyone, be quiet, and listen to me. ”

After all, the British Empire is the master of the world today, the empire on which the sun never sets. As soon as Zhu Erdian's voice fell, the dozens of people at the table gradually quieted down, waiting for Zhu Erdian to express his opinion.

Zhu Erdian raised his head triumphantly, it seems that we English gentlemen are still the central figures wherever they are, and everyone has to wait for the opinion of the British.

Zhu Erdian cleared his throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I think that many of the terms proposed by the Qing Empire are unreasonable. First of all, as a leading country, the Great Qing State has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of Korea, and I demand that the troops of the Great Qing State withdraw from Korea, as a friendly army, Japan can retain a certain number of troops stationed in Korea at the invitation of the Korean royal family to maintain the integrity of Korean sovereignty; Second, the Great Qing Dynasty caused huge losses to Japan during the war, and I believe that Japan should be compensated for its losses, and the specific amount can be decided by the ministers of friendly countries through consultation. Third, the modern world is an open world, and as an influential member of the world, the Qing Dynasty should completely open its treaty ports, allow goods from all countries to enter China, and at the same time allow all countries to open mines and set up factories in China; Fourth, in order to maintain the peace of the Great Qing Kingdom, the Japanese troops in the Great Qing Kingdom must withdraw from China in a short period of time, and the Great Qing Government must cooperate; fifth

The Qing Dynasty should open up its own country's railway construction, allow capital from all countries to build railways in the Qing Dynasty, and hand over the right of way of the railways to the country that built them, and the Qing Dynasty needs to protect the interests of all countries in the Qing Dynasty......"

Zhu Erdian talked eloquently, without any scruples about the gloomy faces of Prince Gong and Li Hongzhang, and it was completely a naked slap in the face!

At this time, blackmail、This is **naked blackmail! Li Hongzhang thought angrily, his heart was full of powerlessness and helplessness, the strength of the British Empire was too strong, what could he do?

On the contrary, it was Zhang Yi, with an indifferent face, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, playing with a flying knife in his hand, and quickly spinning back and forth on his fingers. ( Advertisement) [ran]

When Zhu Erdian finished speaking, the German consensus Barand stood up and said angrily: "Mr. Zhu Erdian, please pay attention to your words, as a third country, we think that you have lost your fair and just position, for your words, I can only use greed and shamelessness to describe you, you have completely discarded the nobility and bearing of the gentlemen of the British Empire, and your words are the shame of the British Empire for you!" ”

Barland's fierce words, paused slightly, and said: "The German Empire believes that this war is completely provoked by Japan's aggression, and the Japanese side must fully bear the responsibility for the war, and he should be responsible for the numerous crimes he has committed, look at the massacres set off by their army in the cities of Shandong, they have committed crimes against humanity, they must pay for their barbaric actions, now the blood stains of the Bazhou Massacre have not been completely wiped off, every day there will be innocent deaths of Chinese in that city, us."

Strongly condemn the massacre of unarmed civilians by the Japanese army! Second, in the war, Japan had already buried 50,000 or 60,000 elite troops, defeated again and again, as a defeated country, they had no right to make unreasonable demands on the Great Qing State, and all unreasonable demands should not be supported; Thirdly, the British minister must apologize to the representatives of the Great Qing State for his insulting words! ……”

Zhu Erdian's face changed, and he said: "As allies of the Japanese Empire, first of all, we have the right and obligation to ensure that the interests of our allies are not harmed; Second, we in the British Empire are very dissatisfied with the conservative and closed national policy of the Qing Dynasty, which violates the God-given concepts of freedom, equality, and fraternity. Thirdly, Mr. Barland, please pay attention to your position, our British Empire has many interests in the Qing Dynasty, we must ensure that our interests are not violated, there is no interest of yours in this land, you have no right to speak; ”

The U.S. minister stood up and said, "Two, two, please calm down, as a third party, we believe that we are here to help China and Japan resolve disputes, not to provoke disputes." As the supreme representative of the United States of America, first of all, I would like to express my regret over the war provoked by China and Japan, and secondly, on behalf of my country, I would like to propose that both China and Japan should open their markets to the two countries so that the world's goods can circulate freely in the two countries, and of course we will also open our markets to the two countries, and then we will be equal. As for the final dispute between the two countries over the terms, we believe that the two countries should sit down and negotiate calmly

Only then can it be solved. At the same time, I support the British minister's statement that the remnants of Japanese troops should return to Japan as soon as possible, withdraw from China, and stop the war and aggression on Chinese soil. ”

Britain and the United States have expressed their attitudes on this issue, and for the two countries, this is a matter that does not deserve too much attention, but the two countries understand that if they do not negotiate to let Japan's more than 1,000 cavalry wings withdraw from China as soon as possible, then the Chinese tiger will pack up the more than 1,000 people at any time, and the prisoners will be considered light, and it is not an exaggeration to send them all to the gallows for the crimes they have committed in China.

It's just that Britain, as Japan's ally, and the United States, as Britain's closest comrade-in-arms, naturally want to stand on Japan's standpoint, contribute to Japan, and stop aggression is just a beautiful excuse that the two of them are looking for for each other.

The envoys of the Tsarist Russian government also began to jump out and criticize Japan's unreasonable act of attempting to invade China's three provinces outside the Guanxi Province, hoping that Japan would be able to restrain itself from the precipice and not stir up trouble and rain in northern China; as a neighbor of the Qing Dynasty, it would absolutely not sit idly by and watch Japan invade the sacred territory of the Qing Dynasty; as for Japan's desire to occupy the island of Taiwan, please consult with the Qing Government and obtain the consent of the Qing Government.

Zhang Yi listened to the words of the representative of Tsarist Russia, and a cup of tea almost squirted out directly, Nima, this representative of Tsarist Russia is too capable of pretending, Nima's you Tsarist Russia occupies more than 1.5 million territories outside the Great Qing Pass, why don't you spit it out to the Great Qing Dynasty? Fucking hope that Japan will be reined in from the precipice, just to keep it for you, and the three northeastern provinces have become the back garden and self-reserved land of your family in Tsarist Russia? true

Shame on the fuck! But after all, this is still from the position of the Great Qing Dynasty, at least it really forced Japan to make concessions, and Zhang Yi will no longer pursue so much. At this time, the consensus of the countries has been completely liberalized, and they have begun to argue with each other, hoping to obtain the greatest benefits for themselves or their allies.
