Before returning to Beijing, Zhang Wei cleared all the mines near Sasebo and Nagasaki, and left the mines in the Guanmen Strait and the Osumi Strait there as a defense.

This time, Zhang Wei returned to Beijing with five battleships and three battlecruisers, leaving two battleships, four battlecruisers, 50 destroyers, 50 torpedo boats, and 50 submarines for Zhang Hailong, commander of the Northern Theater Navy, which was enough to protect the northern seas and reward Japan. The five battleships brought back were prepared for delivery to the United States and Great Britain, two each, and one to Germany. Zhang Wei had already notified the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in advance that after they came to attend the founding ceremony of the Lanfang Kingdom, they would drive the battleship back by the way, which was equivalent to delivering it one month ahead of schedule.

The 8 warships of the fleet are lined up, which is extremely spectacular.

The fleet first arrived in Shanghai and picked up the envoys of the Great Qing Dynasty who had gone to the Lanfang Kingdom to participate in the founding ceremony. In the port of Shanghai, the fleet was warmly welcomed by people from all walks of life.

This time, the Qing Dynasty sent a huge delegation to Lanfang for inspection, with more than 150 members, divided into constitutional, commercial, industrial, educational, military and other inspection groups, the head of the delegation was Zhao Erxun, Minister of Military Aircraft, and Sheng Xuanhuai, the deputy head of the delegation.

The delegation is also responsible for negotiating with the Lanfang Kingdom, now the army of the Lanfang Kingdom has entered the northeast region of the Qing Dynasty, and all the Japanese troops are compressed in Port Arthur, if the Lanfang Kingdom is evacuated at this time, the Japanese army will continue to occupy the two provinces of Liaoning and Jilin in the northeast, if the Lanfang Kingdom evacuates from the Northeast after annihilating the Japanese army, then other countries, such as Russia, will take advantage of the weakness, if the Lanfang Kingdom army is stationed in the Northeast, it is necessary to negotiate some things clearly in advance, After Zhao Erxun stepped down from the position of governor of the three eastern provinces, he served as the minister of military aircraft, and he was the person who was most familiar with the affairs of the northeast, so the Qing government sent him as the head of the delegation.

Sheng Xuanhuai, as the deputy head of the regiment, mainly wanted to inspect the industrial and educational undertakings of the Lanfang Kingdom.

Li Zhaoshui came forward as the deputy chief of staff to take charge of the reception, so that everyone felt that the Lanfang Kingdom attached great importance to them.

The fleet of the Lanfang Kingdom appeared in Shanghai, looking at the majestic and mighty fleet, so that all the people who were ready to emigrate were reassured, that is, some national capitalists and business people who had not made up their minds also made up their minds to immigrate to the Lanfang Kingdom, the industrial and commercial policies of the Lanfang Kingdom attracted them to start a business, and the strong military strength of the Lanfang Kingdom protected them from being oppressed and exploited by Western countries.

For the sake of safety, Zhang Wei did not show up, but on a supply ship, and everyone did not know that the king of the Lanfang Kingdom was hiding in the fleet.

After making a stop in Guangzhou and filling up all the baggage and supplies, 8 large warships led 10 destroyers and 10 supply ships to sail directly to Shangjing, without stopping along the way.

The fleet finally returned to the port of Shangjing on November 25, when the Korean battlefield was fiercely fought.

After returning to the palace, Zhang Wei first invited several main leaders of the kingdom to report on the recent situation in the kingdom.

First of all, the Prime Minister of the Government Council reported on the preparations for the founding ceremony and the relocation of the new royal palace.

Lu Weimin mainly reported on the preparations for the military parade, the internal security situation, and the construction of police, garrison divisions and mercenaries.

The most difficult thing is Hua Guoqiang's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and all countries are putting pressure on the Lanfang Kingdom, hoping to stop the war and peacefully resolve the war with Japan.

In particular, Chekovsky, the ambassador of the Russian Empire to Shangjing, went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Lanfang Kingdom all day long to make noise, and Hua Guoqiang was very annoying, as if he was avoiding flies, and he did not want to see him, and he also thought that the people of the Lanfang Kingdom were afraid of the Russian Empire.

And Germany hopes that the Lanfang Kingdom can get a large amount of reparations and the land it has occupied, they hope that the Lanfang Kingdom will become strong, only when it is strong can it contain Russia's forces in the Far East, if Russia sends 1 million troops to the Far East, the most happy are the Germans.

The Americans don't want the Lanfang Kingdom to be strong, but they want us to go to war with Russia by supporting us to gain the territory we occupy.

As for Britain and France, they have not yet made up their minds on the final word.

Zhang Wei learned from Chen Dezhi's telegram that a general offensive had been launched and that the troops would occupy Seoul before the National Day and completely wipe out the Korean Japanese army.

So Zhang Wei instructed Hua Guoqiang that the territory that has been occupied now will not be spit out; Claims against Japan could not be less, at least three times as many as the claims Japan received from the Qing Dynasty; The current Japan no longer has the qualifications of a great power, so its share of the indemnity in the Treaty of Xincho is cancelled and replaced by the Kingdom of Lanfang; Its interests in the northeastern region of the Great Qing Kingdom were replaced by the Kingdom of Lanfang; Open all commercial ports in Japan, and do not restrict the products and capital of the Kingdom of Lanfang from entering the Japanese market; As for the remaining provisions, it is up to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with the Government Council.

If Russia dares to threaten with force, it will confront Russia to the end and just take back Russia's rights and interests in the northeast.

On November 26, after receiving Zhang Wei's final instructions, Hua Guoqiang, the foreign minister of the Lanfang Kingdom, met with the ambassadors of several countries in Shangjing, and conveyed to them the final requirements of the Lanfang Kingdom, which did not want war with other countries, but the Lanfang Kingdom was not afraid of war.

For the Lanfang Kingdom suddenly became tougher, so that countries other than Germany were very shocked, and even more shocked by their demands, although this can let the Japanese go, but if they accept this condition, the Japanese will be worse than dead.

Germany is still on the side of the Lanfang Kingdom as always, the tougher the Lanfang Kingdom, the more they like it, as long as the Lanfang Kingdom is strong, it will definitely not stop in the Far East, with the Lanfang Kingdom's love for the land, it will definitely take back the land occupied by Russia, war is inevitable, if Russia can really send 1 million troops to the Far East, then Germany can reduce the pressure on 1 million troops, such a long transportation line, even logistics can crush Russia, At that time, they will not have the energy to join forces with Britain and France to suppress Germany.

The most shocked country is the ambassador of the Russian Empire, who threatened the foreign minister of the Lanfang Kingdom to send 1 million troops to the Far East, and they are not afraid, so where will Russia go? 1 million troops cannot be sent for the time being, and it is absolutely impossible for the Lanfang Kingdom to easily obtain the land of Korea, Hokkaido and other places, which means that the Russian Far East is surrounded by the Lanfang Kingdom, how can Russia not be worried?

The United States remained neutral.

Britain and France continued to be uncomfortable, and no matter what the choice was, there were pros and cons, so they had to ask for advice from home.

Japan can only continue to beg grandpa to sue grandma, hoping to lower the negotiation requirements of the Lanfang Kingdom.

The representatives of the Great Qing Kingdom were chosen to ignore it, and they could only steal their pleasure, and they didn't even dare to support the decision of the Lanfang Kingdom head-on. (To be continued.) )
