With the support of the British Empire's powerful armaments, France, the United States, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Italy, which are trying to gain more control over the interests of the Far East, fully agreed to establish a community of interests in the Far East, hoping to strengthen the weight of negotiations with the Chinese government through the principle of benefit sharing.

The performance of Germany and Austria-Hungary fell to Bauer's expectations, and the German counselor Wagner and the Austro-Hungarian minister Roland were almost out of their nostrils, and they all showed a rather gloating expression at the toughness shown by the British, although the Chinese government has not shown a clear diplomatic tendency at present, and the cooperation with Britain is even more active than that of Germany after the new government comes to power.

At this point, Schleier, as a China expert, naturally understands the intentions of the Chinese, the German Empire has obtained far more benefits in the Far East, and the first obstacle to Germany's rise today is naturally the British Empire across the sea, and the new Chinese government is a military state, but the governance of the two vastness of a corner of the land and the governance of a vast new territory ten times that, Qin Kai adopts a more pragmatic diplomatic strategy, which is a natural choice.

However, Schleier naturally preferred to see some minor contradictions between the Chinese government and the British, in which case the pressure of the rise of the German Empire in Europe would obviously be more unleashed, and more importantly, the industrial products of the German Empire could gain more markets in the Far East...... After all, German industry followed a very different path from that of the British Empire.

Therefore, Wagner expressed the position of the Germans very directly, the German side does not intervene in the negotiations on interests in the Far East, and the German government prefers to negotiate with Chinese on separate interests...... Because. The German Empire had an advantage that no one else had! And the Germans' henchman Austro-Hungarian was quick to second the idea. This somewhat made Britain, France, and the United States quite unhappy.

But what made them even more unhappy were the Russians. The new Russian minister Seryukovsky, who seemed to Bauer to be a rice bucket, went so far as to suggest that the Sino-Russian northern border negotiations were still in the final stage, and the Russians did not want to provoke the Chinese in this situation, otherwise it would cause more difficult problems for the Russian Empire to solve.

"Slavic fools who have been frightened!" Bauer gave the middle finger to the thing and immediately commented on it. The Russians were a complete defeat in the Far East, and now most of their navy is still on the slipway, and the country is also in the midst of an economic crisis and popular rebellion, and the Russians who have lost Siberia have almost completely lost their interests in the Far East, so it is no wonder that such a rice bucket minister was sent.

Of course, Bauer will not let today's diplomatic negotiations be completely aborted, and after private consultations with the Germans and Russians, the 11 countries signed a "Beijing Memorandum on the Maintenance of Peace in the Far East." The memorandum demanded that the Chinese government should ensure peace in the Far East. It is not allowed to take the initiative to provoke a military conflict, but with regard to the countermeasures taken by various countries, due to the opposition of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia, they only expressed their positions in vague terms.

On the morning of the 11th, this protest was personally submitted by the Dutch minister to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing to express the anger of the Dutch, while Bauer sat behind the scenes and began to plan a response to the Chinese government.

After Zeng Jize got the protest letter, several diplomatic counselors were also puzzled by the Dutch's actions, and a little later, the news sent from the Prime Minister's Office made them understand that the British were making small moves...... Soon, the Chinese government made a series of moves that frightened the Dutch, the British, and even the ministers of various countries.

On the 15th, newspapers in China suddenly published a large number of news from the port of South Andy in the Dutch East Indies, and this operation planned by the Intelligence Department and the Freemasonry Association single-handedly labeled the Dutch army and the indigenous servant army as a "massacre" through a large number of pictures and written evidence, and the Chinese became synonymous with the savior of the Dutch East Indies.

On the 16th, a large number of photos of captured Dutch soldiers and indigenous servants filled the domestic media, and the heroic struggle for the Chinese also became the mainstream of the media, and Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Guangzhou and other places spontaneously organized marches in solidarity with the Dutch East Indies Chinese.

The most tragic thing is the Dutch consulate in Beijing, although due to the international practice of diplomatic immunity, a large number of policemen have been arranged here, but because they are besieged by a large number of students, and the police only promise the Dutch the safety of the embassy, as for what the consequences will be if they run out, let them consider for themselves, when a Dutch counselor went out with a conceit and was smashed with a rotten vegetable to get back, the Dutch embassy had to continue to protest.

On the 18th, the Chinese government belatedly summoned the Dutch minister Boorla, and returned all the protests raised by the Dutch, and at the same time said that it wanted to pursue the responsibility of the Dutch government for the persecution of the Chinese in the Dutch East Indies.

Portera saw the thick file stacked up to nearly 1 meter high on Zeng Jize's desk, naturally his scalp was numb, God knows when the Chinese began to investigate these things, and he was quite unconvinced After flipping through it, he was even more shocked into a cold sweat, the recent investigation, naturally the South Andy incident, in this matter, he has not yet obtained any evidence that can refute the other party.

A little earlier, of course, was the persecution and massacre of the Dutch against the Lanfang Chinese, the predecessor of the South China Republic, and it is clear that the South China Republic had collected a lot of evidence in this regard, as for the secret persecution of the Chinese in the Dutch East Indies, those things had long been heard of, and in the local area, it was almost impossible to collect evidence, among which there was even a large amount of information exposed by the Dutch newspapers.

Soon, Portela was defeated in Zeng Jize's diplomatic contest, with his bare hands, and the other party could be described as having countless ammunition, and he couldn't resist at all, let alone fight back...... What made him even more frightened was that Zeng Jize made it clear that the Chinese government had decided to settle historical accounts with the Dutch East Indies government, and demanded that the Dutch government hand over these Dutch officials involved in the case, and that the Chinese government would conduct the final trial of these murderers stained with Chinese blood.

Of course, the Dutch government can not respond to this, in that case, Zeng Jizezhi used two sneers of "hehe" to remind Portera, and he didn't bother to continue to explain in depth.

After coming out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing, Portela climbed into the carriage in a cold sweat and rushed back to the embassy, and hurriedly sent a telegram to the Dutch East Indies Governor's Palace and the Dutch mainland, he expressed his judgment very directly - the Chinese government wants to settle the history of the massacre of Chinese in the kingdom's colonies, and after all, using this as a pretext for military strikes, a full-scale war with China is inevitable!

Later, Portella remembered that he had gotten on the British's thief ship this time, but he didn't expect to cause such a big trouble all of a sudden, and it was impossible to speculate whether these things were related to the damn protest letter, anyway, the Dutch East Indies must have been used as cannon fodder.

He hurried to meet with British Minister Bauer, and the news was obviously beyond Bauer's expectations, but he didn't expect the Chinese government's reaction to be so direct and intense, and this directly made it difficult for him to deal with it! If, as secretly agreed in the previous days, the so-called military solidarity was provided to the Dutch, it would be tantamount to directly provoking a war...... This is not the responsibility of the minister himself.

What's even worse is that if the war breaks out and the empire suffers huge economic losses, all of which can be counted in its own political accounts, and its political capital that the Far East has struggled to come out of in 10 years may completely go bankrupt all of a sudden, which he himself cannot bear, and the final result of the conflict in the Far East will inevitably be a maritime confrontation between China and Britain, which has already had a result more than half a year ago - the British Empire cannot afford such a risk.

After hurriedly comforting the lost Dutchman, Bauer hurried to the Prime Minister's Office to visit his difficult old friend in person after some careful consideration, but after arriving at the Prime Minister's Office, he was told that Premier Qin did not work in the Prime Minister's Office, which made Bauer feel a little uneasy, and after finding Chen Jitong and repeatedly expressing his urgent wishes, before noon, an officer drove a Beijing car to pick him up.

The meeting place was at the Summer Palace, some distance from the Prime Minister's Office, which after two years of renovation has been opened to become a large national park for Chinese leisure, and on the periphery, several conference centers as far as the Prime Minister's Office have been established......

This made him even more worried about the Chinese government's actions, this damn Qin, is he really going to be a warmonger? The sudden appearance of such a large number of officers in the city of Beijing is a sign of something?

The only thing that made him feel a little reassured and unexpected was that Qin Kai appeared at the door of the living room with a few generals of the sea and the army with a star, and invited him to lunch with a smile.

Bauer had no intention of eating Chinese food at all, so he hurriedly made a little bit of it and hurriedly took the position opposite Qin Kai, while this old acquaintance, who held the authority in China, was at the moment very leisurely savoring the two home-cooked stir-fried dishes in front of him, and seemed to be completely unconcerned about the rash visit of his British minister.

Qin Kai naturally understood Bauer's intention, and roughly guessed the British idea, seeing this strange expression, he pointed to the bamboo shoots fried meat cubes on Bauer's plate and said with a smile: "Dear Bauer, only in China, bamboo shoots can make such delicious, I think you may not know the way, in Sichuan, Chinese mainland, there is a rare animal panda, that is, bamboo for a living, moreover, pandas are only available in China in the world, but I don't mind, give a pair to your Royal Zoo!" ”

Qin Kai's words made Bauer also stunned, as a China expert, he naturally also knew that this kind of Chinese panda was in Beijing's newly built national zoo, in fact, pandas in this era are far from being as cherished as later generations, and industrialization has not affected Chinese mainland, but the words immediately made him seem to find some hope to solve the problem.
