In the face of the big bait thrown by Japan, Britain and the United States gladly accepted that there were not many opportunities for pie to fall from the sky, and this time it fell on their heads, and there was no reason not to accept it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was even more out of fear of the mysterious war weapon of the Lanfang Kingdom, which made Britain, France, the United States, Germany and Russia temporarily unite to exert pressure on the Lanfang Kingdom.

At this time, it was impossible for the Lanfang Kingdom to be an enemy of the world, so it had to accept mediation, but the previous mediation request must be satisfied, otherwise the Lanfang Kingdom would rather burn the jade, anyway, the Lanfang Kingdom's current industrial base is very poor, and the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, so it is a big deal to continue to hide and fight guerrillas.

For the intimidation of the Lanfang Kingdom, it is not easy for all countries to turn a blind eye, after all, everyone knows very well the forces behind the Lanfang Kingdom, the strength is too strong, if they hide to deal with a certain country, the end will not be much stronger than Japan, so no one wants to become the wronged leader, so they have to force Japan to accept the mediation conditions of the Lanfang Kingdom.

The Japanese cabinet also knew that it could not be the master now, so it had to ask Britain and the United States to help him more, hoping to lower the conditions of the Lanfang Kingdom, after all, if Japan was in ruins, and all the funds were used to repay the war reparations, there would be no purchasing power to buy British and American products, and it would be meaningless to open all the treaty ports.

Britain, France, the United States and other countries are putting pressure on the Lanfang Kingdom while actively discussing countermeasures.

However, there are significant differences between several countries on some details.

Russia tried its best to prevent the Lanfang Kingdom from occupying Hokkaido and Jiushu Island, and vigorously opposed the Lanfang Kingdom's replacement of Japan's rights and interests in the northeastern part of the Qing Dynasty and Korea.

Germany was not interested in what to do with Japan, only in the weapons of war in the hands of the Lanfang Kingdom; In order to end the war as soon as possible and get the war weapon they desired, Germany put pressure on Japan to accept the conditions of the Lanfang Kingdom, and the defeated countries were not qualified to negotiate the conditions; In addition, strengthening the power of the Lanfang Kingdom is something that the Germans are willing to see, for the restless Lanfang Kingdom, the stronger the strength, the more chaos can be created in East Asia, and the more it can contain the energy of Britain and France; Therefore, Germany fully supported the request for peace talks put forward by the Lanfang Kingdom, of course, on the condition that the Lanfang Kingdom must sell this mysterious war weapon to Germany after the war.

Britain, France, and the United States hoped to try their best to keep Japan on the condition of ending the war, and try their best to reduce the weakening of Japan's strength, otherwise Japan would lose its use value, so the three countries all asked the Lanfang Kingdom to reduce the amount of the claim, and the three countries agreed to provide loans to Japan after the war to help them repay the Lanfang Kingdom's claims and help Japan rebuild.

In addition, if a huge war reparations are obtained, the strength of the Lanfang Kingdom will be stronger, and it will pose a great threat to the American colonies in Asia, in order to reduce the threat to itself, it has to find a new enemy for the Lanfang Kingdom, that is, the Russian Empire, in order to achieve this goal, the Americans and the Germans have the same goal, hoping to contain Russia's energy in Asia, and it is best to confront the Lanfang Kingdom, so that the Lanfang Kingdom has no time to take care of anything else; Obviously, this is not in the interests of Britain and France, who want Russia to focus on Europe and jointly suppress the rise of Germany.

When there was no agreement between the great powers, the Kingdom of Lanfang was asked to temporarily stop its attack on Japan, to lift the blockade of Japan, and in particular, to allow humanitarian rescuers to enter Japan.

Zhang Wei agreed to suspend the attack on Japan and also allow humanitarian aid workers to enter Japan, but he did not agree to lift the blockade of Japan.

The purpose of allowing the rescuers to enter Japan was to send back the miserable condition of the Japanese to their home countries, so that these countries would be more eager for their weapons of war and could sell them for a good price in the future.

The partial concessions of the Lanfang Kingdom made the great powers feel a sense of accomplishment, and they also felt that the Lanfang Kingdom was not too tough, and there was still room for negotiation.

The war was temporarily suspended, and the great powers began to quarrel for their own interests, leaving the Lanfang Kingdom and Japan on the sidelines.

At this time, Foreign Minister Hua Guoqiang was under the greatest pressure, and he wanted to take advantage of the quarrels between countries to actively use the contradictions of various countries and lobby various countries, hoping to strive for the greatest interests of the Lanfang Kingdom.

Although the attack on Japan was suspended, Zhang Wei's arrangements for the war did not stop. The first is to strengthen the strength of the Northern Theater Command, send the 32nd Division to the port of Busan, and at the same time send 3 militia divisions, 3 regiments of mercenaries and 1 cavalry division of 10,000 people to Pusan, so that the direct force in the hands of Governor Chen Dezhi reached 117,000.

The Governor of the Korean Special Administrative Region, Yuan Tiandeok, added the 33rd Division, as well as an equal number of militia and cavalry, for a total of 117,000 men.

He also strengthened the strength of Du Shihui, chief of staff of the Chinese Theater of Operations, and sent him the 34th Division, a militia division, and a cavalry division of 10,000 people, so that he had 3 regular divisions, 3 militia divisions, and 1 cavalry division, with a total strength of 106,000 troops, and allowed him to recruit 20,000 logistics personnel in the northeast to help transport supplies and maintain local law and order.

Now all the Japanese troops in the Qing Dynasty are compressed in Dalian and Lushun, trying to block the attack of the Lanfang Kingdom with a strong fortress.

All Japanese troops and Japanese in Korea were concentrated in Seoul. The kingdom of Lanfang did not launch an attack on the Japanese troops stationed in Seoul, but only smoothly received the territory left by the Japanese army after evacuation, and began to recruit mercenaries on the newly occupied territory, and with Zhang Wei's approval, there are now 30 mercenary regiments in the whole of Korea, more than 90,000 people.

These Korean mercenaries not only helped the Lanfang Kingdom maintain local law and order, but also actively helped to arrest the big families and large landowners with ties to Japan, making the Lanfang Kingdom very profitable. These mercenaries are all locals, and they hate these rich and unkind landlords very much, and they just took this opportunity to completely eliminate all the landlord class in North Korea, of course, the Lanfang Kingdom gave these mercenaries a high reward, so that they became the new social class of North Korea, became the beneficiaries of the overthrow of the landlord class, and became the firm supporters of the Lanfang Kingdom to the rule of Korea.

The Lanfang Kingdom continued to increase troops to Korea and the northeastern part of the Qing Dynasty, causing the Russian Empire to feel deep fear. The rate of increase in troops in the Kingdom of Lanfang is too fast, and there are still a large number of army and navy stationed in Hokkaido, Kyushu, Ryukyu and Taiwan around Korea, and it will be very rapid if it wants to continue to increase its troops.

This made Russia very much in favor of the amount of compensation claimed by the Lanfang Kingdom, but firmly opposed the stationing of a large number of troops in Korea and the northeastern Qing Dynasty, and even more opposed to the occupation of Hokkaido by the Lanfang Kingdom, and even threatened to send 1 million Russian troops to the Far East.

Germany itself had good relations with the kingdom of Lanfang, and now Russia has threatened to send 1 million troops to the Far East, which makes Germany even more supportive of the conditions of the kingdom of Lanfang.

And Russia's actions also made the Americans very happy, that is, to confront Russia and the Lanfang Kingdom, it is best to fight a protracted war and a war of attrition, and finally lose both.

The biggest headache is Britain and France, and there are pros and cons to doing it no matter what.

The Lanfang Kingdom relied on its strong armed strength to gradually resolve the pressure of the great powers, and changed from passive to active, in order to maximize benefits. (To be continued.) )
