Churchill was not surprised by China's sudden advance, and it can be said that he had calculated that such a day would come. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that the British Empire has been busy with the war in Europe during this time, and he still maintains some pride in the British Empire, Churchill has not taken the initiative to contact China and give up his interests in China.

Finally, China, which has slowly become stronger, made a move, and as soon as it opened its mouth, the British Empire, which made them so downcast, directly give up all their interests in China, and at the same time all relevant personnel surrendered unconditionally.

In the face of such harsh conditions, do they have the capital to refuse?

In the past, the British Empire bombarded China's country with a few strong ships and cannons, but now, it is not what it used to be, they have become lost dogs, and even they cannot protect themselves, how to protect the interests of the British in China? As long as the Chinese want, they can bombard the British in China with strong ships and cannons at any time.

On behalf of the British Empire, Churchill directly ordered the renunciation of all interests in China, the abolition of all unequal treaties, the return of all concessions to China, the unconditional return of Hong Kong to China, and the unconditional surrender of British troops stationed in Hong Kong to the Chinese side.

Coincidentally, after the British made a public statement, the United States, France and other European powers all followed, saying that they would renounce their interests in China, abolish the unequal treaties, and all the personnel in China surrendered in the direction of China.

However, these powers have violated China for dozens of years, and it is over with a simple return of this sentence, and the Chinese side will naturally not easily agree, so Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi personally drafted some terms and threw them at these countries.

These terms mainly contain several aspects:

First of all, huge indemnities are indispensable. Regardless of whether many of these countries have the ability to repay due to the death of the country, at least they should express the attitude of both sides, sign the compensation treaty, and then pay it back slowly. those who do not have the ability to repay the loan with resources and other materials can use resources and other materials to pay off their debts;

Second, those who have previously asked China to open its ports must now agree to China's opening of ports for trade in their countries.

Third, those who have previously stationed troops in China must now be allowed to be stationed in their countries to ensure the safety of the Chinese.

Finally, those who have encroached on Chinese land in the past must now be compensated with land, and this amount of compensation is not fixed, but at least it cannot be less than the area of Chinese land that has been occupied.

These are the main terms, but of course, there are some more fine prints.

As can be seen from the above clause, the countries that used to take advantage of China more will now pay more, and they are reasonable, and they can't find arguments if they want to.

Of course, today's world is not a place to reason, and the means to ensure that it can be implemented still need to rely on the strength of the state.

Looking at the world at present, except for the United States, the strength of the Eight-Nation Alliance, which once invaded China, has been the least damaged, and the other countries are unable to protect themselves. And Germany is behind it.

At one time, Germany was also a member of the Eight-Nation Alliance, but later its interests in China were basically lost due to the defeat in World War I, and in order to further make friends with China as a friend, they felt the need to make a good start at this time.

Germany took the initiative to give a huge amount of compensation, and it was paid in cash, and Germany, which had already occupied so many areas, was the time when the wealth was abundant, and China and Germany also appraised the aid treaty, anyway, they had to provide a lot of aid to China every year, and with the help of Wei Qidong, they had obtained so many benefits, so it didn't matter if they gave more.

At the same time, Germany also said that as long as the Chinese army is willing, it can station troops to Germany at any time, and the number is not limited.

The Chinese side accepted Germany's compensation, but said that it was not necessary to station troops in Germany, so it gave up the right to garrison troops.

Germany took the lead, and those powers that were conquered by Germany naturally knew how to express themselves, and the terms proposed by the Chinese side all agreed.

Chairman Chiang's thinking is still a little limited, he thinks that as long as compensation is enough, as for the garrison and the like, forget it, obviously a little unconfident.

However, Wei Qidong strongly demanded that this power should not be relinquished, that if China wants to speed up its development, it must go out, and only the military can directly guarantee China's power overseas. Therefore, where there can be garrisons, there must be garrisons.

In the end, Wei Qidong's proposal was approved, and he began to gradually aspire to send garrisons, ranging from 35,000 to more than 100,000. In the foreign garrison alone, it is planned to exceed a million.

From this aspect, it can be seen that China is strong, and the Chinese are more confident to go out, especially some businessmen, who see various business opportunities.

Wei Qidong also borrowed some trade strategies from later generations and vigorously encouraged trade, anyway, he wanted to do business with those powers, his own people made the best money, the country could be rich, and the economy could also be stimulated. Let those powers earn some money, and after they earn it, they will have money to repay.

Under the constraints of these provisions, several countries that did not have autonomy were the first to implement them, such as the Soviet Union, which had little ability to repay, and handed over large areas of mineral resources close to China to China for development in order to pay off their debts.

As for territorial compensation, after discussions, nearly 2 million square kilometers of land were transferred to China's territory in advance. The reason why it is called early is because Wei Qidong felt that the former Mongolian division was also caused by the Soviets, so the Chinese side should retain the right to pursue it.

Lao Maozi's current situation is worse than that of the original Qing government, so he doesn't have much say at all, and he can only acquiesce.

The Soviet Union, which had invaded China's interests the most, did not dare to raise any objections under the supervision of Germany, and France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and other countries agreed to all of China's conditions one by one.

The biggest reason why the above countries can easily agree to these conditions is that they have no autonomy because they have lost their country. However, countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and Portugal have maintained a cautious attitude.

Although the British mainland was invaded by the Germans, their government and royal family were still well preserved, and there were several Commonwealth countries with the support, which could not be regarded as a complete extinction, and even thought of a comeback.

In the minds of the British, they gave up their rights and interests in China, which can be regarded as a concession, as for the compensation of huge sums of money, land cession, etc., it is unacceptable, they themselves need funds for development, how can there be excess to compensate China.

As for the cession of land, if China wanted to, it could cut some of the colonies, but Britain itself, that was absolutely impossible, even if it was now occupied by the Germans. If the garrison in Britain is acceptable, anyway, there are already a large number of German troops in Britain itself, and it doesn't matter if the Chinese troops are stationed again.

Portugal also encroached on Chinese interests, and after the British returned Hong Kong, they also had the pleasure of returning Macau unconditionally. However, the huge indemnity, land cession and even being garrisoned made it a little difficult for them to accept.

Portugal remained neutral in both World War I and World War II, and has not participated in the war until now, and no one cares about them because of their geographical location. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid no one would have thought about this once great power in Europe.

But now, Portugal is no longer what it used to be, and the Portuguese Empire is already in decline, and it is no longer qualified to join the current world hegemony.

However, the sudden fear of being remembered by distant China was a headache for the Portuguese, and some did not know how to choose.
