Chapter 227: Armistice Agreement (I)

The plans of Britain and France are going smoothly, then Britain and France are too lazy to worry about the Han Kingdom at the negotiating table, how much the Han Kingdom takes from Britain and France today, then tomorrow the Han Kingdom will have to repay ten times and a hundred times, this is the view of the British and French.

Of course, the Han Kingdom wants to end the negotiations quickly, and the British and French are too inkbloc.

On January 5, 1889, Cao Xuwen, the representative of the Han Kingdom, signed an armistice agreement with the British representative Ivis and the French representative Christopher in Berlin, Germany, and the Han Kingdom officially ceased war with Britain and France.

When the armistice agreement was signed, the words "Han Kingdom" were not included in the armistice agreement, but were replaced by "Chinese Empire", and the Chinese Empire appeared on the world stage for the first time.

The Sino-British Armistice Agreement consists of nine articles, the main contents of which are:

1. The armistice agreement shall be valid for ten years.

2. Britain paid a ransom of 15 million taels of silver to the Chinese Empire to redeem a total of 2,372 British officers and soldiers who were captured by the Chinese Empire during the war.

3. After the armistice agreement is signed, Britain and the Chinese Empire will formally cease war with the area under the actual control of both sides as the demarcation line, and no provocation will be allowed during the armistice period.

4. During the armistice period, normal diplomatic and trade exchanges between the two countries are not allowed to detain a person who has the nationality of another country without reason.

When the armistice was signed, Cao Xuwen smiled, while the British representative Avis and the French representative Christopher sat down in their chairs.

Avis and Christopher knew that this armistice agreement was a great shame for Britain (France), although the ransom paid by Britain (France) to the Chinese Empire was used to ransom the captured officers and soldiers of the two countries, but who did not know that this was an indemnity, it was a reparation from Britain (France) to the Chinese Empire.

Ives and Christopher signed a humiliating truce for both countries, and even if they were just representatives, the citizens of both countries would eventually point the finger at them. I'm afraid that everyone will shout and beat the two when they return to China, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the two and their families to live in their own country in the future.

Fortunately, Ives and Christopher prepared in advance, and in the future, the two of them will be British (French) ambassadors to the Chinese Empire, and the two will take their families to the Chinese Empire.

After the signing of the armistice between the Chinese Empire and Britain and France, the entire Caucasian world was in an uproar.

"Aren't England and France the most powerful countries in the world? How could such a humiliating armistice be signed, could it be that Britain and France were defeated by those savage yellow-skinned monkeys? ā€

"It's incredible that Britain and France should bow their heads to the yellow-skinned monkeys? What's wrong with the world? Am I still dreaming when I don't wake up? ā€

"Shame, this is shame, England and France are really a shame to the Caucasian world, we are going to war against the yellow-skinned monkeys, we are going to kill all the yellow-skinned monkeys!"

In addition to Germany, Austria-Hungary and other countries in the Caucasian world, other countries in the Caucasian world felt very strange that Britain and France had signed such an armistice agreement, and it was the first time that a country that did not know the inside story knew that there was a country called the "Chinese Empire".

"Could it be that the Chinese Empire is stronger than Britain and France?"

Someone soon discovered the secret: it was not that the Chinese Empire was strong, but that the Chinese Empire had a powerful weapon like airships, and Britain and France had no way to deal with airships, and under the deterrence of the Chinese Empire's airships, Britain and France could only bow to the Chinese Empire.

In England and France, it's a different atmosphere.

When the British and French nationals knew that their countries had signed such a humiliating armistice, they took to the streets to protest why the country had signed such a humiliating armistice.

Britain and France were speechless when they saw countless people gathering on the streets to march, especially the content of the people's demonstrations, which made the high-level leaders of the two countries want to vomit blood.

"You were the ones who wanted to negotiate peace, you gathered on the street for the government to negotiate peace with those yellow-skinned monkeys, and now that the peace talks are over, and you are not satisfied with the armistice agreement signed, what do you want to do?"

However, the people of the two countries do not care about that, it is the fault of the government that everything is wrong, and the people have the right to march and protest.

Of course, there are also many people who know the process of the matter and stand up and say: "Why can't the government resist the yellow-skinned monkey's airship, if it can resist the yellow-skinned monkey's airship, everything will not happen, so it is still the government's fault, and everything blames the government." ā€

Well, it's all the fault of the two governments, and the people are not at all wrong.

But it is not possible for the people to march in the streets like this, and the British and French governments can only shift the spearhead of the people of the two countries, well, to the people who signed the armistice.

The British and French governments explained to the people of the two countries: "All this has nothing to do with the government, it is the fault of the negotiators in front of them, who signed such an armistice without the permission of the government, and you should ask the negotiators for an explanation." ā€

The British and French governments directly induce the public to focus on the negotiators in front of them.

After hearing the government's explanation, most of the people of the two countries immediately changed direction and wanted to ask the negotiators in front for an explanation, but before the negotiators in front of them returned to China, the people surrounded the homes of those negotiators, and some people with irascible personalities directly threw stones and smashed the glass of their houses, and the governments of the two countries quickly dispatched police to protect the negotiators' relatives and not accidentally be killed by the angry people.

Unlike the Caucasian world, when the news of the armistice reached the territory of the Chinese Empire, the entire Chinese Empire was like a Chinese New Year, and every household set off fireworks to celebrate the signing of the armistice and celebrate the defeat of the Chinese Empire against Britain and France.

Under the propaganda of the governments at all levels of the Chinese Empire, the people have more or less understood that Britain and France have brought suffering to China, and now we have finally avenged it!
