Chapter 511: The German and American Ministers
Fengtian, Shengjing.
When the war between China and Russia and Japan is finally coming to an end.
Dignitaries from various countries finally sat down at the front of the negotiating table, and this time the negotiations were attended by almost all the influential powers in the world.
Li Hongzhang, representative of the Qing government; Yang Du and Zhang Yihu of the Chinese Democratic Republic; Minister Plenipotentiary of Great Britain; Minister Corne of France; German Minister Doldiggom; U.S. Minister Conger; Russian Minister Kolomondev; Hirobumi Ito, Minister of Japan; Italian Minister Paul Menkney; and Spanish Minister Douglas; A total of ten countries of ministers gathered in Shengjing, now Shengjing has suddenly become the world's political focus, all the dignitaries and media have set their eyes here, because every move here will involve the next ten years of political and military wrestling and interest competition in the Asia-Pacific region!
Zhang Yi is already a little busy now, Tang Shaoyi was directly appointed by him as the interim cabinet premier, responsible for receiving ministers from various countries, of course, he still has to meet in person with the German minister and the American minister.
In the evening, Dordigum and Conger came to Zhang Yi's general's mansion together, Zhang Yi personally met them, for the two of them, Zhang Yi and them are old friends, they have been dealing with each other for several years, and Li Hongzhang, who accompanies each other, is an acquaintance.
Dordigum was also not polite, and said straight to Zhang Yi: "General Jianzhi, for your summoning, Mr. Conger and I, but there is no hesitation, what are you going to do in this negotiation?" ”
Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Mr. two ministers, I am purely a layman in diplomatic negotiations, no, I specially invited Master Li Hongzhang to give me ideas, and he is the central figure in this negotiation." ”
Doldigum laughed and said: "Haha, General Jianzhi, we are all our own people, the whole of China, now you have the final say, as long as you decide what you decide, it is definitely more useful than the old queen mother of Beijing City."
。 If you want us to help, at least we need to know your limits, otherwise we don't know when to speak. ”
Conger also said: "Mr. Jianzhi, what Mr. Doyle said is reasonable, at least we need to know your bottom line, so that we can put pressure on Japan and Russia together with Lord Li Hongzhang in the negotiations, otherwise we will not cooperate well, right?" ”
Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Don't make it a little quiet, of course I will explain the conditions of our negotiation to you clearly, otherwise, once you misunderstand, won't there be accidental injury?" ”
Saying this, Zhang Yi waved his hand, and a military staff officer handed the negotiation text that had been prepared to Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi took it, handed it to Dordigum and Conger respectively, and said: "Two, this is the price of our negotiations with Japan and Russia tomorrow, please take a look."
。 [Lots of good]"
The two ministers took the text of the negotiation and read it hastily, looking shocked.
Doldigum said: "Mr. part-time, I don't think your conditions are feasible, even if we try our best, I am afraid that it will not be possible at all!" ”
"Yes!"
"Mr. Kenyuki, I also think that if we throw out such a plan, Japan and Russia will definitely not give in!"
Conger also blushed and shouted.
It's too much!
The treaty clearly stated that the Tsarist government needed to pay 250 million taels of silver to the Huaxia Republic in war reparations, overturn the previously signed "Baoding Treaty", and prohibit Tsarist Russia from building the railway to Vladivostok.
The Japanese clause in Dordigum's hands was even more excessive: the Japanese army was required to fully deal with Korea and Taiwan, and pay 100 million taels of silver in compensation for the war! Japan is restricted from developing a navy and an army, and the total tonnage of the navy must not exceed 50,000 tons, and the army must not exceed 200,000!
This is still a life.
Zhang Yi looked at the two ministers and laughed: "Two, we have an ancient saying in China, called the sky-high price, sit on the ground to pay the money, they Tsarist Russia and Japan, even if I give the conditions, no matter how preferential they are, they have to bargain, so why don't I ask for the price, in this way, I can take the initiative."
。 ”
Doldigum smiled bitterly: "General Jianzhi, at least you have to give us a bottom line, and when the time comes, we will advance and retreat together, if you give me such a document, we don't know what to say tomorrow." ”
Zhang Yi smiled and said: "It's very simple, for Tsarist Russia, my focus is on war reparations, this Tsarist Russia must take out the silver, anyway, the tsar has money, he doesn't care about such a little money, everything else can be discussed, as long as he is willing to pay for it!" Otherwise, why would Lao Tzu return Vladivostok to him! ”
The two ministers glanced at each other and nodded to each other, this is not too much.
Zhang Yi then said: "For Japan, I only ask for the land to be recovered!" North Korea and Taiwan are all our territory, and the Japanese have occupied it long enough, we must take it back, and as for the reparations, I know that little Japan has no money now, and if it doesn't come out, how much can it be extorted, how much it can be counted. ”
Doldigum was embarrassed: "General Jianzhi, for Taiwan, if you want to take back Taiwan, I fully support you, there is no problem with this, Taiwan is originally the territory of Chinese, but North Korea ...... This issue is more complicated, in the international recognition, Korea is an independent country, but it was occupied by the Japanese, so even if the Japanese retreat, it is also Korean independence, and all the powerful countries in the world are jointly in charge, and it is impossible to incorporate into China's territory. ”
Zhang Yi sneered: "Mr. Doyle, don't you know, since the Tang Dynasty, North Korea has belonged to China's territory, although they are a kingdom, but they have always bowed to China, and they are our vassal states!" It was given to Japan for no reason, so how can it be done? ”
Conger said: "Mr. Jianzhi, we can try our best to help you, Taiwan should not be a big problem, but North Korea is a little difficult, after all, our argument is somewhat untenable!" ”
Zhang Yi laughed and said: "Okay, two, then that's it, even if you can't hold North Korea, at least you need to ask Japan to pay me a sum of money, there is no free lunch in the world, I want Japan to buy it with money, otherwise, I want Lao Tzu to withdraw from the army and dream!" ”
Conger smiled bitterly, this Chinese tiger is too ruthless and too difficult to provoke, I hope that in the future the United States will never be an enemy of this young general and the future leader of China! However, Dordigum was a little excited, as Germans, what they advocate is power and iron blood, for people like Zhang Yi, if they are Germans, they will be the top idols and heroes in their minds! Doldigum said, "Yes, General Kenno, I will help you achieve your wishes!" ”
