Chapter 1311: Tsarist Russia bows its head
"Your Majesty, it is necessary to warn the envoys of France, today at the meeting, they actually provoked an incident, attacked the envoys of Prussia, and almost disrupted the rhythm of the venue, which we absolutely do not allow, otherwise, Prussia and France will fight, it will be harmful to us!"
Zhang Chunping said in a deep voice.
"Hmm,"
Guo Ye raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "It seems that Prussia has really provoked France this time, this is simple, Xiaohai, make an appointment with the French minister and warn them, if you want the heavy machine gun weapon to be in hand, then obediently cooperate with the Chinese Empire, don't make trouble in the negotiations, out of the Chinese Empire, how they want to deal with Prussia is none of our business, but, not now, don't make trouble!" ”
Chen Hai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this matter is very simple, as soon as you hear about it, cut off their heavy machine gun weapons, the French envoys will definitely be scared of the souls, according to my observation and the information sent by the Wing King, I am afraid that in a maximum of one year, there will be a war in the French people, and France will not dare to be disobedient!" ”
Guo Ye and Zhang Chunping unified their opinions, and the rest of the things were easy to do.
And now Zhang Chunping has stuck the tone of the negotiations, leaving a huge space for follow-up concessions, negotiations, anyway, East Siberia is going to be decided, as for the war reparations, as long as it is not less than 30 million pounds, it is within the acceptable range, and now the British have helped the Russians to propose 20 million pounds in compensation, this is just a tentative offer from the British, far from their bottom line, the bottom line? I'm afraid that within 50 million pounds, Asanda is now the only one who can carry it by himself.
Now Guo Songtao has made another concession, reduced it by 10 million pounds, and kicked the ball back to Britain and Russia, and then it will depend on their performance.
Of course, today's Tsarist Russia is also in tense communication, and the plan of replacing the corresponding war reparations with East Siberia suddenly put forward today is a plan that everyone can accept, and it is also the easiest to reach an agreement, it seems that all countries are interested in this article, which can not only reduce the pressure of the Tsarist Russian Empire's reparations, but also meet the requirements of the Chinese Empire's claims, as long as the Huaxia Emperor's ** team can withdraw from the country and release 100,000 prisoners of war, other things will be much easier.
However, there are certain problems, the crux of the problem is on Alexander II, Alexander has always regarded himself as a hero, comparing himself to Peter the Great two hundred years ago, if he loses East Siberia in his hands, it will be an unprecedented shame, this alone is enough to nail him to the pillar of shame in Russian history, will Alexander the Great II, who is conceited and strong by nature, allow such a thing to happen?
Today's Ulishakov thinks the same way, and it is too difficult, too difficult, too difficult to convince Alexander II to accept such conditions......
Now that the telegram to the Tsar has been sent, one can imagine what Alexander II will be angry about, thousands of miles away!
Urishakov's guess was right, and now Alexander II is going crazy, and in his palace, he keeps roaring angrily.
"Cession of Eastern Siberia? Dream, dream! These territories belong to the Tsarist Empire, they belong to the Tsarist Empire, and no one can take them! ”
Alexander II is like a madman, constantly roaring, the courtiers around him are pale, no one dares to touch the Tsar's moldy head at this time, if it is not good to be exiled, it is light, if it is serious, the head will be moved, how tyrannical Yashan is in the rage, many people have been taught, but those who have really understood it are no longer in this world.
"Your Majesty!"
After a long time, Prince Nicholas bumped into Fang Cai and said: "I'm afraid that we won't be able to agree this time, after all, now the Chinese Empire is strong and strong, Siberia is close to each other, we are far away from Eastern Siberia, thousands of miles away, even if we want to fight, we can't catch it, relying on the strength and strength we have now, it is not enough to protect Siberia under the aggression of the Chinese People's Army, and the consumption of war alone is not something we can afford......"
Foreign Minister Kaslov chimed in: "Yes, the prince is right, the cost of war alone is not something we can afford, and even if we keep Eastern Siberia in the end? We don't have enough troops in Eastern Siberia, we can't keep Eastern Siberia safe at all, how much is enough? You must know that we may face the northward attack of the Chinese People's Army at any time, and at least we need to keep the strength of two army corps in the Far East in order to ensure the security of the place, but with the population and economic level of the country, it is impossible to feed an army of 100,000, not to mention 100,000, even 20,000 is enough to choke, it is simply a bottomless pit ......."
"Humph! You mean that East Siberia can't be saved? However, have you ever thought that our ancestors included Siberia in the pockets of the Russian Empire, but we gave it to others, and we lost all the glory of the Russian Empire! Can you endure such a humiliation? ”
Alexander II said fiercely.
"Your Majesty, now people are under the roof, they have to bow their heads, now the war of the British Empire in South Africa is also in an unfavorable situation, can not be tough, the attitude of the French Empire is ambiguous, Prussia and the United States are the sworn friends of the Chinese Empire, has always supported each other, we only rely on the support of the British and the Netherlands, Spain, can not suppress the Chinese Empire, the so-called stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, we must Taoguang to raise the obscure, secretly accumulate strength, if there is a chance in the future, We'll just snatch East Siberia back, but now we can't hard-top, after all, 100,000 captives are in the hands of others, and we don't have any bargaining chips......"
Prince Nicholas said in a deep voice.
Yashanda's heart was cold, and the last sentence hit the point directly, without any chips! No matter what kind of negotiation, only if you have enough bargaining chips, you can have the confidence to speak, just like when Britain and France coerced the Qing Empire, the Qing Empire did not have any bargaining chips, so it could only be slaughtered by others, and now the role of the Qing Empire is the turn of Tsarist Russia, there is no way, there is no way!
"Well, tell Urishakov that he is ready to make concessions and use Eastern Siberia to deduct the war reparations, but, in addition, our war reparations must not be too high, otherwise, what will we do to recuperate? Trying to make a comeback? (To be continued.) )
