Roosevelt said: "Mr. Wang of Hainan, don't get excited, this is not the final conclusion, some things can be discussed again?" β
Chen Zhong sneered and said, "There is nothing to negotiate, this king will not give an inch of land!" If these grandchildren don't have any special seeds, this king won't say much to them at all! The Japanese want to get Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula so cheaply, dream of it! As long as the king is here, Liaodong and North Korea, the king has the final say! Otherwise, the army of this king will solve the Korean Peninsula in five days! β
"Good! Attaboy! King of Hainan, this official supports you! How can our place be sent back and forth like a gift! Qu Hongji took the case.
Yi Xuan, who was sitting on the side, blushed and said, "King of Hainan, don't think that you will be a cow if you fight the Liaodong Peninsula!" Do you think that your little strength can be the king of Bohai Bay? You're naΓ―ve! β
Chen Zhong looked at Prince Qing, who looked like a servile, and sneered: "Prince Qing, you can ask this Japanese Foreign Minister, Mr. Komura Shoutaro, Liaodong Peninsula for them, do they dare to ask for it?" β
Ambassador Gao Ping, one of the negotiators of the Japanese side, said: "Your Excellency King of Hainan, although you have taken Liaodong with guns, you cannot represent your Qing government. Now that your Prince Qing has asked Lafayette in Peking to agree to transfer to us the former Russian rights and interests in the Liaodong Peninsula, you can only complain here. Your remarks here, for us, are just some helpless emotional catharsis, in fact, you can get out of here! β
"Really?" Chen Zhong glanced at Gao Ping with disdain, looked at the time of the pocket watch, and then said: "Mr. Ambassador, you seem to have said some things too early, I'm afraid, if this king leaves, your talks should be over, if you don't believe it, then ask Mr. Komura Shoutaro next to you, this king has taken his leave!" β
After Chen Zhong finished speaking, he turned around and left the seat.
At this time, Komura Shoutaro looked at a telegram from Japan sent by the staff, he frowned, hurriedly stood up, rushed to the door, walked to Chen Zhong, bowed ninety degrees, and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the King of Hainan!" It was our recklessness that offended you, I beg your pardon! β
After Komura Shoutaro finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and scolded Gao Pingdao: "Gao Pingjun, don't you apologize to His Excellency the King of Hainan for what you just said!" β
Takahei and all the members of the Japanese delegation did not know what was going on, and the negotiators in the conference hall were also surprised by Komura Shoutaro's words and deeds, and they did not know what was going on.
Komura Shoutaro scolded Gao Ping, who was still in a daze, and said: "Ambassador Gao Ping, immediately apologize to the King of Hainan, do you know that your words and deeds will make the Great Japanese Empire suffer huge losses, and you can't afford it!" β
Gao Ping felt the seriousness of the situation, hurriedly came to the door, bowed to Chen Zhong and apologized, and said: "Your Excellency the King of Hainan, I apologize to you for my behavior just now, please forgive me for being reckless!" β
Chen Zhong sneered and said, "I am a superfluous person in this meeting, you don't need to apologize to me!" With that, he continued to walk out the door.
Komura Shoutaro hurriedly followed, stopped Chen Zhong and said: "Your Excellency King of Hainan, I apologize to you in the name of the emperor, please come back to this peace talks, you are the most important person in our peace talks, please accept my request!" β
Yi Xuan, Qu Hongji and other Qing court negotiators, they didn't know why these two extremely arrogant Japanese negotiators suddenly had such respect for this Hainan king, Yi Xuan secretly muttered: "Xiaocun took the wrong medicine, how can these Japanese seem to have fallen into the devil?" β
Sitting opposite, US President Roosevelt's eagle-like eyes, looking at Chen Zhong's back from a distance, he felt an invisible pressure, he seemed to see the strongest opponent from Chen Zhong's calm, humble and arrogant words and deeds, and approached him step by step.
The Russian representative Witt, who was sitting next to Yixuan, said coldly: "You Qing Dynasty, how can there be such a prince, I admire him very much, the Japanese may have said it too early." β
Yi Xuan asked puzzledly, "Mr. Werther, what is going on?" β
Witte smiled faintly and said, "Maybe it's North Korea's problem." β
It turned out that before Chen Zhong entered this meeting, he expected that the Qing court would transfer all the rights and interests in the Liaodong Peninsula originally leased by Russia to Japan.
In order to force Japan to submit, Chen Zhong ordered Li Chuang's Seventh and Tenth Armies in the northeast to advance rapidly to the south of Korea.
The Sixth Army and the 19th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Korea had almost no combat effectiveness because of the serious shortage of logistical supplies, so Li Chuang's Seventh Army and the 10th Army did not take much trouble to annihilate the Japanese Sixth Army, the 19th Division of the Japanese Army was scattered, and the 20th Division retreated to the area of Seoul.
Li Chuang's Seventh Army and Tenth Army pursued the victory, and in addition, Li Chuang's Eleventh Army, which landed from Nampo, advanced all the way south, according to this momentum, Li Chuang's Third Route Army galloped vertically and horizontally and invincible in the Korean Peninsula, and it may only take three or five days to solve the two Japanese forces on the Korean Peninsula.
The telegram that Komura Shoutaro had just received was sent from the Japanese army headquarters, demanding that the Japanese military negotiating delegation could give up all conditions and ensure that the Korean Peninsula would be left behind, and that if it could not seek its all, it would be okay to occupy the southern part of Korea, in short, it would be possible to give up everything and not Korea.
Therefore, Gao Ping of the Japanese delegation regretted what he said to Chen Zhong before, and now, even if he gives up his dignity and the demeanor of a diplomatic envoy, he will keep Chen Zhong.
Gao Ping said: "Your Excellency the King of Hainan, I will retract what I just said, you are the protagonist of today's negotiations, and we can slowly talk about the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean issue." β
Chen Zhong said expressionlessly: "You just said that this king can't represent the Qing court, and what this king said is just a whining at best, what?" Aren't you worried about talking about the Liaodong Peninsula with this king now, isn't it weighty enough? β
"That's a lot! No one has more weight here to talk about the Liaodong Peninsula and North Korea than you! Gao Ping said with a smiling face.
Chen Zhong sneered: "You Japanese are the ones who are completely cheap, if you don't hurt you, you won't let go of your gambler nature!" β
Komura Shoutaro also said with a smiling face: "Gambling is a way to survive, and we in the Great Japanese Empire like this kind of adventurous and exciting game!" You may lose many times when you bet, but what if you really win? β
Roosevelt, who was on the other side, looked at a few short Japanese and muttered: What kind of logic is Tonima!
