"Are you saying Hu is willing to reconcile with the British?" Chamberlain thought that he couldn't understand Hu Xiaoyan.

"Yes. Huto, I conveyed it to Mr. Chamberlain. He was always an Englishman and loved the UK. He did not want any change in the political situation in Britain. Especially Mr. Chamberlain, who helped him. Tom replied without being arrogant.

"It's a pity it's late." Chamberlain thought bitterly. It's late. The problems of the Qing Kingdom were well solved, and the invincibility of the French was an example. But the trouble is the Boers. The Boers will not accept reconciliation. Between the two is the enemy of life and death. It's a pity that the British army was not powerful.

"Okay, I'll send a telegram to Dou Nale. Facilitate peace as soon as possible. But I saw something not so good in your newspaper. I hope Mr. Tom will remove that. "Chamberlain reined in his mind, whether it was late or not, there was one problem that could be solved now. He can only passively accept it now. As long as he still wants to go further, he must agree to Hu Xiaoyan's conditions.

"Understood, I'll arrange it when I get back." Tom understood what Chamberlain meant. Tom posted photos of some British soldiers in the frenzied behavior of the city of Beijing. This made Chamberlain even more unable to get off the stage. The British did not be robbers for many years.

Sending Tom away, Chamberlain did not send a telegram to Douglas, knowing that the current peace talks had been put on hold. So he had time to think about it. Then he wrote a private letter and asked people to send it to China, although it was a little slower, but it was better to be safe.

Hu Xiaoyan didn't expect that Chamberlain would not even be able to sit firmly in his position now. He still thinks that this Chamberlain seems to be the Neville Chamberlain in history who proposed appeasement. Although sometimes he didn't feel like it, he really didn't think about it that much. No way, the British names are too similar.

The letter went around and around until after the Spring Festival ended before it reached Dou Nale's hand.

Dou Nale smiled silently after receiving the letter.

Chamberlain's meaning was simple, put back the British (except for the Indians). Qing compensated part of the military expenses (to be accounted for domestically, so it doesn't matter if this part of the compensation is a little less.) ）。 Then apologize to the UK and that's it. As for the demands of Japan and Russia, we will try to mediate as much as possible. If it really doesn't work, then let them fight in the north. It was important to ensure that the war did not extend beyond the three eastern provinces, let alone affect British interests.

Truth be told, Chamberlain's request was already simple. If the Empress Dowager Cixi is in power, this peace negotiation can also be signed. Because neither France nor the United States have problems. It's impossible for them to send troops again, it's already very powerful to save face, and as for the amount of compensation, they really don't care very much.

But not Japan and Russia. Japan needs compensation to develop its own industry. The Russians are megalomaniacs, otherwise how could they be called black bears? It is harder to get them to retreat than to ascend to the sky.

Despite the difficulties, Dou Nale immediately invited several countries other than Japan and Russia to communicate with each other. After some deceit, everyone agreed with Dou Nale's opinion, that is, to end the war as soon as possible! You must know that China's Spring Festival was originally the hottest time for goods from all over the world, but this year, Hu Xiaoyan published the Eight-Nation Alliance's burning and looting in Beijing. In addition, there was a report in the Chinese newspaper of the Times with a clear tendency. As a result, the goods of the eight countries were completely unsalable in the Chinese market. Instead, goods from the Anqing Light Industrial Zone began to appear on the streets of Shanghai. Even Liangguang, Fujian and other places have appeared in Anqing's goods. What clothes, buttons, sewing needles, foreign smoke, fireworks, foreign noodles and other daily necessities are almost monopolized by Anqing goods!

How can this be accepted by the capitalists of various countries? If the peace talks fail for a day, will this kind of boycott be carried out for a day? Who can hold up like this?

When the American anti-Chinese incident spread to China in later generations, public opinion dealt a devastating blow to the sales of American goods in China. For this reason, Mr. Roosevelt, President of the United States, had to send his daughter to China with the team to apologize to the Chinese government at that time and improve the situation of Chinese Americans.

This kind of public opinion is spontaneous. However, under the guidance of Hu Xiaoyan and with photos as evidence, the sense of responsibility of the famous people was suddenly enhanced by countless newspapers.

The Qing people defeated you on the battlefield, and they will disgust you in the mall! This is the advertising slogan written by Hu Xiaoyan in the era of China.

Dou Nale has long been unable to stand the telegram harassment of the domestic tycoons. He had wanted peace talks for a long time. Even if you don't give a penny.

But Japan and Russia are a big, big problem.

Japan said that it sent 300,000 troops, but in the end only 100,000 arrived in Jilin, and was blocked by the Anhui New Army on the front line of Changchun. And the Russians, because of their small number of soldiers, were also resisted by the defenders of Heilongjiang. In fact, Japan and Russia are also in a dilemma.

After dealing with Britain, France, Germany and other countries, Dou Nale summoned the Japanese envoy Komura Shotaro.

"Mr. Komura Shoutaro. On behalf of the British Government, I would now like to ask you officially: What does Japan want to do? Dou Nale asked arrogantly.

"Mr. Dou Nale, you know the military discipline of our Japan. We did not kill a single innocent person in vain in the city of Beijing. But our army was subjected to a shameless sneak attack. Our righteous deeds have been violated by evil. Can't we redeem our reputation for this? Komura Shoutaro said angrily.

"Oh? Didn't kill a person in vain? Why don't you talk about the emptying of the Qing Dynasty and the treasury? Dou Nale scoffed.

"It's clear now. The sales of your and our goods in the Qing Kingdom have almost turned into duck eggs. I warn you now. Mr. Komura Shotaro, your country must refrain from your military actions! Otherwise, our fleet will give any unfriendly powerful blow! Dou Nale said fiercely.

"That's all for you, go back and think about it."

Komura Shoutaro vomited blood angrily, and he couldn't understand for a while why Dou Nale surrendered to the Qing Kingdom! This is not at all in line with the British style?! How could he have thought that Chamberlain, in order to keep his position, had already begun to follow the old path of another Chamberlain. Chamberlain would rather give up his dignity than solve the problem of the Qing Kingdom as soon as possible.

The last one to be difficult to get was the Russians.

"Mr. Gers, I have to say that the Russians are just too stupid. Your actions in Siberia are the actions of selfish barbarians. You are not worthy to be called a member of the civilized world. Douglas slammed the newspaper with the photo of the Hylands Massacre in front of Gers.

Gers sneered and tossed the newspaper aside: "Mr. Dou Nale, what you British are doing in Tianjin and Peking is no more noble than ours in Russia. So ......"

Gulth shook his index finger.

"Hmph, but your Prince Yevgeny Ivanovich Alekseev is still in the hands of the Qing people. It is said that he is still in a concentration camp in Tianjin. Mr. Clinder had visited, and it was not known how many more days he would last. Dou Nale sneered.

"I heard that Mr. Hu Shanshi, in order to punish the Russians for their evil deeds in Heilongjiang, actually asked your noble prince to dig a pit. Mr. Gers, I wonder if your prince will be able to hold out until the day you go to save him? ”

Gers was stunned, and then furious: "This is a provocation to our country, and Russia will definitely not compromise!" ”

"You still think about whether you will be able to return to Moscow alive. I have heard that His Majesty the Tsar is very fond of His Excellency the Prince. Dou Nale sat down and drank a glass of red wine.

"If the prince dies in the concentration camp, I believe that no matter how many Qin people you kill and how much Qing land you occupy, you won't be able to save your family's life."

Gers was in a cold sweat.

"Now, Mr. Gers, please give me an answer: you are willing to hasten peace talks and save the poor His Royal Highness Prince Yevgeny Ivanovich Alekseev. Or will they fight until the Qing people surrender? ”

Dou Nale tasted the wine with satisfaction. My town is so smart! Dou Nale gave himself a thumbs up and added ten points.

Gers sat down dejectedly: "Peace talks can be made, but the Qing Kingdom must apologize, and their barbarism must also be punished!" War reparations are also absolutely indispensable! ”

Dou Nale snapped his fingers: "Very good then." We agreed. Now it's time to start peace talks. ”

The Japanese also compromised on the third day after the Russians compromised, and it is said that the Japanese got the news that Hu Xiaoyan had a plan to send an airship to bomb Tokyo!

The Japanese base camp is mad. But Hirobumi Ito and Aritomo Yamaguchi were sensible enough to stop the War Department's madness. Regardless of whether Hu Xiaoyan's airship can successfully drop the bomb, as long as a bomb falls on the territory of Tokyo, Japan will become the laughing stock of the whole world. Japan can't afford to lose this man!

Moreover, after learning of Russia's compromise, Japan could not stand alone. Japan is not ready for a full-scale war of aggression against China. Once the British were annoyed, the British Asian fleet would simply blockade the major ports of North Korea and deprive the Korean Peninsula of any resources on its own soil, and Korea would fall into civil strife completely. The popular uprising in North Korea has not stopped!

Hirobumi Ito and Aritomo Yamaguchi don't dare to take risks!
