When Lyons learned the information he wanted, the first thing that came to mind was the impact of Washington's trilateral peace talks on the Kingdom of Great Britain. There is no doubt that the outcome of this peace talks is the worst news for the Kingdom of Great Britain!

Lyons' mission was to try to persuade both the North and the South to refrain from peace talks with the Chinese Empire. After deciding to negotiate peace, Lyons has been hoping that the peace talks would fail and the conditions of the three parties would collapse, but he didn't expect such a result in the end!

Instead of expanding the war, a permanent peace treaty was signed. In this way, that is, both North and South America admit defeat and are no longer willing to fight against the Chinese Empire, which has also established itself permanently on the American continent.

The key thing is that Lyons understands that both the American Federation and the Chinese Empire are wolf ambitions and have a strong desire to expand. Today, the Chinese Empire has occupied the territory of the Russian and American companies in North America, and has further conquered the two major garrisons of Fort Vancouver and Fort Victoria in the British Columbia colony. Although it is likely that the fleet passed through the British Columbia colony to attack the western part of the American Federation, now that the American Federation has ceded the entire western region to the Chinese Empire and signed a permanent non-aggression and friendship treaty, their spearhead must be aimed at the North American colonies of the Kingdom of Great Britain.

In addition, the Kingdom of Great Britain sent troops to attack the Chinese Empire and recover India at this time, at this time, if the Chinese Empire's army in North America did not take the opportunity to attack Great Britain's colonies in North America, wouldn't it be the number one fool in the world.

Lyons even speculated whether it was precisely because of the British Kingdom's dispatch of troops to the Far East that the Chinese Empire was under tremendous pressure, so it was in a hurry to be willing to make a big concession, and even the area west of the Mississippi River that it had already occupied was willing to spend a huge price of 22.5 million US dollars to promote peace and a truce with the United States. In fact, the Chinese Empire wants an armistice more than the United States!

For a moment, Lyons found himself bitter. But with such favorable conditions offered by the Chinese Empire, it is no wonder that the Confederate Congress of the United States immediately agreed to a truce and let the Chinese Empire lead the way!

However, Lyons still wanted to make a final effort, and he said to Tumus: "Mr. Toombs, can't you change it anymore?" You know, our Great Britain has already sent an expeditionary force to the Chinese Empire, and has already beaten it to the ground in the Indian Ocean, these Chinese Empire troops are very likely to return to the Far East, as long as the American Confederate State gives them a little pressure to contain the other side, then the Chinese Imperial Army will definitely not be able to support it, and at that time, the American Confederate State will be able to take the area west of the Mississippi River and expand its territory. ”

Toomes shook his head: "Mr. Lyons, the Chinese Empire is now strong, and the domestic army is millions of people, and it is difficult to defeat. What's more, our American Union is already in a difficult position to support. President Davis has long said that unless there is a bailout of hundreds of millions of dollars, there will be no truce and peace. Now that the contract has been signed, it is impossible to go back on one's word. ”

Lyons sighed and said no more.

Just as Leon was meeting with Thooms, the Russian minister to the American Confederation, Scottly, also invited Seward out, but the meeting place was arranged by Seward.

The relationship between Szczli and Siward was relatively close. In fact, in the early days of the Civil War, Seward asked the Tsar for some assistance from the American Federation through Czechosli, and Sczelia also helped Seward through his connections and abilities. In the whole of Europe, Tsarist Russia is the country that has purchased the most foreign debts of the United States of America after Britain, and in addition it has spoken out in support of the American Federation in the international community, and has signed an agreement with the federal government on the law of the sea this year, condemning the smuggling and piracy of the Federal States of the Federal States, which can be regarded as providing tremendous support to the Federation.

After learning the details of the Washington peace talks, Scotti's face changed drastically.

For a long time, Tsarist Russia supported the American Confederation in the north, naturally with the aim of winning over the United States and uniting the United States to counter the British threat. But unexpectedly, there was an internal rebellion in the United States, so Tsarist Russia naturally helped the more orthodox northern American Federation, hoping to gain more favor from the federal government in this internal rebellion in the United States, and at the same time grab some benefits. For example, through the law of the sea agreement, plus the promised assistance, the fleet of Tsarist Russia can enter any port in the United States for replenishment, etc., but unfortunately, Tsarist Russia's Siberian fleet has been wiped out by the Chinese Empire, even if it wants to send warships to support the American Federation, it can't do it.

Moreover, with the rise of the Chinese Empire in the east, Tsarist Russia's territories in Siberia were occupied by it. At the tsar's behest, Szczeli had already placed the Chinese Empire as the number one opponent in the Americas, and tried his best to cause trouble for the other side. Therefore, it was his strategy to support the United States and use its power to snipe at the Chinese Empire. However, the influence of Tsarist Russia in the Americas is too small, but even the Northwest Peninsula occupied by the Russian and American companies has been occupied by the hateful Chinese Imperial Army, and now such an ending has completely broken the whole situation conceived by Tsarist Russia!

Sczeli felt like a failure. With such an ending, he didn't know how to face the tsar and how to explain it to Russia.

"Mr. Seward, if we provide you with another $15 million loan, can you ......?"

Before Sczcelli's words were finished, Siward interrupted him and said in an unkind tone: "Mr. Sczeli, it's not that I doubt you, can you take the 15 million dollars in cash?" I heard that your country has caused a lot of civil strife because of the reform, and that it takes a lot of money to carry out military reform, so you confirm that you will borrow debt? And, to put it mildly, $15 million is not even a drop in the bucket, do you know that in the half month before the armistice, a special division army of the Chinese Empire wreaked havoc in several states in the Midwest of our American Federation, causing losses of more than $20 million per week! ”

Sczeli's mouth opened wide, and just as he was about to explain, Siward waved his hand, and continued: "Mr. Sczeli, there is no need to say any more! Our American Federation is really unable to hold on, and if we do not stop fighting with the Chinese Empire, I am afraid that the entire Federation will collapse, and before the Chinese Empire has defeated us, the lost people and factory owners will unite and negotiate with the Oriental people on their own. Moreover, the other side promised not to harm the 50,000 captives, withdraw the troops that were ravaging in Illinois and Indiana, and not demand war reparations from the American Federation, which was already a big concession.

Moreover, now that the tripartite permanent peace agreement has been signed, we cannot afford to repeat the incident. It is the most important thing to steadily develop the economy and military devastation destroyed by the war. ”

After listening to Siward's words, Scotti's face was gloomy, and he left without saying a word.

Seeing him leaving, Siward lifted a curtain in the inner room, and Fan Ruzeng, the special envoy plenipotentiary of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Lu Ziyue, the ambassador to the United States, and Lu Ernan, the representative of Ireland, came out from behind the curtain with a smile on their faces.

"President Seward, you made the right choice! Russia is now completely unable to provide any assistance to your American Federation, and it is our Chinese Empire that can help you! Lu Ziyue said with a smile: "This time we will meet with you again, firstly, to celebrate the renewed peace between the two sides and the successful resolution of the problems between us; Second, there is another important matter to discuss with Mr. President! ”
