Chapter 1308: Land for Money

In the middle of Beijing.

Zhang Chunping made no concessions to the British and Russian ministers, and insisted that the condition for the withdrawal of the Chinese People's Army from Siberia must be to compensate the Chinese Empire for the war losses of 70 million pounds, not a penny

Even if the British and American ministers felt that something was wrong and repeatedly requested, Zhang Chunping was ruthless and had no intention of giving in.

Well, since you really can't get it, there are two ways to go

Zhang Chunping sneered, first, the Tsarist Russian Empire can be allowed to pay in installments, with an annual interest rate of four percent, compound interest, and pay it in ten years; Second, we don't want so many war reparations, but you also don't want to take back Siberia, 10 million pounds, then take 200,000 square kilometers of land in exchange, with the Lena River and the western shore of Lake Baikal as the boundary, the whole of East Siberia will be turned into the territory of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese People's Army will withdraw from the Central Siberian Plateau, hehe, we can exempt the Tsarist Russian Empire from the corresponding compensation of 15 million pounds according to the value of Eastern Siberia

I'll go

Ulishakov almost went crazy, an Eastern Siberia, according to Zhang Chunping's division, at least there are nearly four million square kilometers, four million square kilometers, equivalent to a quarter of the area of the Tsarist Russian Empire, equivalent to one-third of the territory of the Chinese Empire Just handed over to the Chinese Empire, no one is willing to put it on it, who knows what mineral deposits will be hidden in these millions of square kilometers of land

No, resolutely not

Ulshakov roared angrily, General Zhang, you are dreaming that we will not cede a single piece of territory to you

Zhang Chunping's face sank, and he said coldly: If you don't give it to us, then take out the 70 million pounds of war reparations, I don't care about you, even if you dismantle the palace of the grandson of Asanda and sell it for money, you also have to give us 70 million pounds, give you face, you don't want it, then don't blame me, there is no more installment delivery for ten years, it must be delivered within a year, give you three days to consider, after three days, 100,000 Russian prisoners will all be sent to Shanxi coal mines to dig coal for us, twenty years, We're going to squeeze out £70 million out of him when he writes about his grandson

Zhang Chunping made a loud noise and completely suppressed Ulshakov.

You must know that the average age of 100,000 Russian prisoners is only in their twenties, less than thirty years old, such a large number of people are the strong laborers that are urgently needed in various countries, and after 20 years, they are all less than 50 years old, squeezing for 20 years, 70 million pounds, and they will really be squeezed out, and it will not cost much to eat, but there are not a few coal dug up in one day, and when they enter the coal mine, these people will live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs

If you dare to open, if you send 100,000 Russian soldiers into the coal pit, then our Tsarist Russian Empire and your Chinese Empire will never die, and our Tsarist Majesty will definitely raise troops to fight to the death with you

After a while, Ulishakov came to his senses and jumped like thunder, 100,000 people, this is not ten people, once the news of 100,000 Russian prisoners being sent to the coal pit to dig coal was transmitted back to Tsarist Russia, I am afraid that the country will immediately be in chaos, the family members and friends of these soldiers, together, the number of people driven, I am afraid that it will exceed millions of people, such a huge number, how much storm it will set off in Tsarist Russia, no one can imagine

Anyway, our Chinese People's Army is still not happy enough to fight, you can come if you have the ability, but if we fight again, our army will not just stay along the Lena River, we will advance the battle line to the foot of the Ural Mountains

General Zhang, Ulishakov, calm down, everyone, aren't we discussing now, there is no need to be tense

The French minister Manik finally stood up and persuaded: "Both, in my opinion, exchanging land for war reparations is not a feasible way, the problem lies in the valuation of land, Mr. Urishakov, what do you say, presumably now your country is not willing to continue the war, and finally let the empire be greatly damaged and fall into fragments, if you can sell Eastern Siberia, or Central Siberia, to the Chinese Empire at a suitable price, it is not a bad thing, after all, your country's territory is too large, From Moscow to the east coast of East Siberia now, the straight-line distance has exceeded 8,000 kilometers, your country's best war horse, sleepless, has to run for three months to arrive at it, your country's control over East Siberia is too weak, to put it mildly, if the position of the Chinese People's Army wants to regain this territory, your country is useless even if it pours the strength of the whole country, it is a difficult problem to travel up to 10,000 miles, and the supply of materials and logistics alone can drag your country down, Isn't it

Manik's words, finally Ulishakov fell silent, the battle of the country, to put it nicely, really dispatched 500,000 troops, all the way east, just half a year's march supply, is an astronomical amount, the current Tsarist Russian Empire simply can't afford the current opponent is no longer the Qing Empire, if in the face of the Qing Empire, Tsarist Russia only needs to dispatch 20,000 or 30,000 people to ensure that the Qing Empire bows, but the Chinese Empire 200,000 or 300,000 people, it is not good to make this the difference between the old and new empires

However, if you really cede East Siberia, I am afraid that the tsar will not agree, millions of square kilometers of land

Why are you still not satisfied?

Zhang Chunping said coldly: Don't say that the price of fifteen million pounds will be given to you, that is, the price of five million pounds will be given to you, that is all earned by you, otherwise, we will kill the Arctic Circle in one go, you have a way, we have completely occupied the west bank of the Lena River, you have a way to do what you want, you weigh it yourself

This time Zhang Chunping's face was already cold, that is to say, this is going to touch the bottom line of the Huaxia Empire, and if he doesn't agree, no one can predict what the consequences will be, that Guo Ye is originally unfathomable.

This one

Souness said astringently: General Zhang, this proposal can indeed be considered, but fifteen million pounds will take the whole of East Siberia, it is too cheap, even if it is sold for fifteen million pounds, how can the remaining five five million pounds be not affordable by the Tsarist Russian Empire, General Zhang, I hope that your country can make concessions again, so that we can promote peace talks to be continued.
