Chapter 1227: Wilhelm II stabs the knife
c_t; Ito Hirobumi was really angry, 60 million pounds, which is equivalent to more than 400 million taels of silver, even if Japan is hollowed out, he can't make up so much money!
The face of Balfour in the middle was also gloomy, this time because it was Britain and France instigated Japan to send troops, and now it is like this, Balfour's face is also gloomy, and he can only try his best to support Japan, and it has been agreed with Ito Hirobumi that a solution can be proposed to the upcoming reparations in the form of part of free aid and part of low-interest loans, and Britain and France will bear four-fifths of it, and Japan will bear one-fifth.

But now, Zhang Yi and others are 60 million pounds in one mouth! This is not a small amount, even if Britain bears it, there will be some pain, after all, no one's money is blown by the wind!
Balfour replied: "General Zhang, your amount is too unrealistic, I want to ask you, how much is your total economy in a year, and you actually want Japan to pay 60 million pounds in compensation, are you kidding?" It's better for you to come up with a more suitable price code! ”
Lube on the side was also dissatisfied: "Sixty million pounds, this is simply impossible!" Even we, the French government, can't afford to make so much money at once! President Zhang Yi, you better come up with a price that everyone can accept, otherwise, the Japanese government will be forced to collapse by you, and then it will be a chicken and a chicken! ”
Zhang Yi had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, the day before yesterday, it had already been written in the information given to him that Britain and France would do their best to help Japan through this difficulty, so as to continue to contain the Republic of China in Asia in the future, and had already made a promise to Japan that this time the reparations would help Japan digest it, joke, with the support of two big bosses in the back, I can't do it if I don't want to!
Before Zhang Yi could speak, Zhang Yihu called beside him: "Mr. Lubey, otherwise, I will take the army to your France to toss again." How about compensating you for your financial losses? ”
Lubey's face changed drastically, and he said coldly: "This general, are you challenging our great France?" As long as you dare to send troops to France, we will never let one of you leave alive! ”
Zhang Yihu replied with a big grin: "Lao Tzu is not very interested in sending troops to France, but if he sends troops to Vietnam, he has some ideas......"
Lu Beiden was choked back by Zhang Yihu's words. Yes, Lao Tzu played France. If you are not sure, you may really be wiped out, but if Lao Tzu fights Vietnam, can you stop it?
The Chinese Revolutionary Army was close to the water, and if it really sent a few divisions into Vietnam, I was afraid that the French would be driven crazy.
Lubé didn't dare to continue to pick up the stubble, but instead dwelled on other issues, and said, "Also, before the war. Originally, Korea was already under the control of Japan, but now you want to let North Korea remain under the jurisdiction of China, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate, and it is even more excessive to let Japan give up the Java Islands! Now that Japan occupies the Java Islands, there is an international consensus, so why do you still want to risk the world's condemnation? ”
Zhang Xiaohuai on the side. sneered: "Mr. Lubei, don't forget, North Korea was originally under the control of China, and it was only because of the First Sino-Japanese War that the Qing government of ** signed an unequal treaty here, what." Now that we're strong, we won't be allowed to take it back? Joke! ”
US President McKinley listened carefully to the speeches on the field, and saw that they were becoming more and more intense, so he had to stand up and say: "Everyone, everyone, there are many problems and differences now. I suggest that we solve them one by one, first, we first solve the land problem, North Korea was originally under the control of China, and I think it should be reassigned to China's jurisdiction! As for the Java Islands, since they are now under the jurisdiction of Japan, how about maintaining the status quo? ”
Everyone glanced at each other, Zhang Xiaohuai and Zhang Yi looked at each other, Zhang Xiaohuai understood, originally this Java Islands didn't want to grab it, this is impossible, it is just a weight to suppress the opponent in the negotiations, since North Korea has been taken, there is no need for the Java Islands to continue to argue.
Zhang Xiaohuai didn't speak, looking at the people in the field, such words, he can't say it in a hurry, he needs to look at the attitude of others, lest someone get an inch.
Under such circumstances, the Korean issue is no longer something that Japan can keep if it wants to, and even if it stays, it will face a fatal blow from the Chinese Revolutionary Army at any time, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Ito Hirofumi gritted his teeth and replied: "Yes, I can agree with this suggestion, but the Republic of China must show sincerity on other issues!" ”
Zhang Xiaohuai smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Ito Hirobumi, what is sincerity? Since you accept President McKinley's suggestion, then we will laugh at North Korea, and we promise you not to go to the trouble of the Java Islands, haha, you don't have to worry too much! ”
Zhang Xiaohuai blocked Ito Hirobumi's idea of trying to bargain on other issues in one sentence, that is, according to President McKinley's thinking, solve them one by one, otherwise, even the Java Islands don't want to live in peace!
McKinley continued: "Next, that is the issue of compensation, this matter Japan took the initiative to invade first, causing huge losses to the Republic of China, compensation is inevitable, as for the amount of compensation, we can negotiate a price that is acceptable to both parties!" ”
Zhang Yi replied: "This question, there is no need to talk about it!" 60 million pounds, otherwise, the Japanese would be prepared to be bombed by the aircraft and artillery of the Chinese Revolutionary Army on the Japanese islands, as for how many people were killed and which one was killed, it is not easy to say......"
McKinley looked at Zhang Yi with some surprise, this guy is so strong on this issue, he has no fear!
Ito Hirobumi's face turned red and shouted, "Impossible, don't even think about it!" At most, 10 million pounds, and an extra penny, we won't give it! Don't forget, you have also caused great losses to our empire in the gulf of Tonkin! ”
Zhang Yi sneered: "We were innocent at that time, as for you, you are to blame and deserve it, how can you generalize!" ”
Balfour on the side frowned and said: "General Jianzhi, in this matter, we are willing to be a Chinese person, 20 million pounds, if I can, this matter, I am willing to convince Mr. Ito Hirobumi and His Majesty the Meiji Emperor, how about it?" ”
Zhang Yi shook his head lightly, joke, you are wearing a crotch now, of course you want to take a little less, but Lao Tzu will not agree!
Wilhelm II looked at Zhang Yi and suddenly said: "General Jianzhi, in this way, our part of the German compensation is not needed, you might as well agree to Mr. Balfour's request......
Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, wipe, at this time, I didn't expect this guy William II to run up and stab him! (To be continued.) )
