210 Diplomatic Puzzles

Of course, Wang Jue knew that this was an adventure, and of course he knew that this was not the most suitable way to deal with the Liaobei Army, but he could only choose this strategy with an advantage in speed, because he was in Liaodong or the entire northeast region of the Ming Empire, and the established strategic policy was only one quick word.

Fighting the combined forces of the Jin State and the Japanese in Liaodong, Wang Jue used a rapid assault strategy that was close to recklessness, and the advance speed of his troops set a new world record. Within a few months, the entire Liaodong region was turned upside down, and before other countries even had time to react, the outcome of the war had already been decided.

Similarly, in the northern Liaoning region, Wang Jue can only use the word fast as a criterion for his own actions. He wants to complete the work he wants to accomplish before everyone reacts, and complete his strategic deployment in the northeast of the entire Ming Empire before the changes come.

Martial arts in the world, only fast is not broken! Wang Jue used a quick word to disrupt the deployment of almost everyone. Yes, for all! He is not only dealing with the enemy's means, but also dealing with the reactions and changes of his own people at all times. If his actions slowed down, then even if there was only resistance within the Ming Empire, it would be enough for Wang Jue's work to be put on hold indefinitely.

"It seems that there are always people chasing you from behind, as for being in such a hurry, when the war in Liaodong is not over, do you rush to Liaobei to take such a trip?" The Jinyi Wei Dahan, who followed Wang Jue to northern Liaobei, walked behind Wang Jue and asked angrily.

Dahan doesn't talk too much on weekdays, and he often speaks without a beginning or an end, so at this time, he came over and took the initiative to say such a sentence to Wang Jue, which shows that he is also puzzled by Wang Jue's attitude of being so anxious.

"I don't have time...... Or rather, the empire still has enemies of the empire, and there is not much time left for me. Wang Jue looked at the sky in the distance, sighed, and then explained to Dahan a little helplessly. is in such a mood that Wang Jue, even if he has made a few big strokes that are enough to shock the whole world, Wang Jue still can't be happy.

His enemies are too powerful, not only the countries on the outside, but also those behind him who share the same banner as his own people with all kinds of ideas. Some of those people just disagree with Wang Jue's politics, while some are more hateful and hateful than the enemy! Wang Jue must complete all his deployments in Liaodong before these people who are dragging behind react.

This feeling of racing with many, many powerful and dangerous people is really very bad, and even Wang Jue, who is so evil that he claims to have no last resort, feels a little tired. Still looking at the sky in the distance, he muttered something that made everyone who heard it inexplicable: "This time, it seems that we can rest and rest." ”

……

"If the Ming Empire insists on going its own way like this again, I, the British Empire, will really stand on the position of all countries in the world and impose sanctions on the Ming Empire!" After all, no matter how fast the war situation in Liaodong develops, it can't really be faster than everyone's reaction. When it was learned that the Ming Empire was overwhelmed in the Battle of the Liaohe River, the envoys of almost all the countries who persuaded peace in Beijing made a fuss about the Liaodong incident for the benefit of their respective countries.

Naturally, the British Empire, which has always been not friendly with the Ming Empire, and France and Ceylon have also shown their opposition to the Ming Empire's in-depth position in the Liaodong Incident. Although these countries were not able to cause any substantial harm to the Ming Empire for a while, after all, they brought unprecedented pressure to the diplomacy of the Ming Empire.

Listening to the roar in his ears as the envoy of the promised empire, Sun Fang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Empire, who has always been known for being tough on the outside world, also looked helpless. Since he took over the diplomatic work of the Ming Empire, he has faced perhaps the worst diplomatic environment in the Ming Empire in the past hundred years.

Now Britain, France, and Ceylon have shown strong dissatisfaction with the Liaodong Incident, and other countries have also experienced the horror of the Apocalypse Dynasty from the sharp attacks of the Ming Empire, and they have once again huddled together and united to watch every move of the Ming Empire - the last time such a situation was during the first anti-Ming war in the world.

"This Wang Jue...... What an unsavory guy. Sun Fang rubbed the bridge of his nose and said to his subordinates with a tired expression. Recently, he has been dealing with the various proposals for peace in Liaodong that the envoys from various countries have been constantly proposing, and each of them has given him a headache with both soft and hard measures.

Diplomacy is not a simple game, and in most cases it is not a straightforward bully, nor is it a simple compromise or concession. More often than not, it's an equivalent exchange, where two people pile up what they think are equal chips on the table and bargain like a merchant.

And now, when Germany and the United States, also due to the pressure of other European countries, changed their ambiguous positions and came up with a persuasion to persuade the Ming Empire to accept the proposals of various countries and end the war in the Liaodong region, Sun Fang felt unprecedented pressure. He was a scholar of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Empire, and even if he was reluctant to compromise, he had to seriously consider the possibility of triggering the Second World War against the Ming.

Sun Shangshu ...... I have to admit that the performance of your country's military commanders in Liaodong is eye-catching, and the great military power that the Ming Empire has shown to the world is also impressive...... However, this excessive deterrence has made all countries vigilant, which is very, very unfavorable to the future foreign relations of the Ming Empire. German Ambassador Hannadsen was very solemn in explaining the consequences of this incident to some Chinese diplomats of the Ministry of Rites.

What he said represented the attitude of many originally neutral countries, and because of his previous ambiguous position, his words did make the diplomats of the Ming Empire attach great importance to it: "Mr. Ambassador Hannason, we understand very well the resistance of various countries to the war, the war in Liaodong will end soon, and the determination of the Ming Empire to suppress the rebels will not waver......"

"All countries are engaged in a fierce arms race because of the emergence of new weapons such as tanks...... the US ambassador also discussed the details of many issues with several military representatives of the Ming Empire, and he showed a worried look at the victory of the Ming Empire in Liaodong, because the United States, whose national strength is not outstanding now, has to fall into a new round of military equipment race.

All countries have to come up with valuable funds to invest in the research and development of tanks, and several traditional industrial powers have already had a headache about this, and those countries that are not industrially strong are now in a predicament that can be imagined. Britain was ready to deploy more than 2,000 tanks, France was also going to deploy 2,500, and Germany had to equip 2,700 tanks to protect itself in order to deal with the threat from Muscovy and France.

Now that such a huge arms race has begun, it is only natural that domestic arms dealers will put pressure on their respective militaries to sell their own weapons and equipment. And the militaries of various countries should also strengthen their own strength and equip themselves with more advanced weapons and equipment - they will intensify their efforts to highlight the threat of enemy countries, especially the threat of the Ming Empire, to their own governments.

And the governments of various countries will also use the threat theory of the Ming Empire at the first time to transfer various domestic contradictions. They will start a war of condemnation against the Ming Empire according to their own needs, so as to pay for the high military spending...... When all countries are ready for war, maybe a new round of world war will begin, and it will most likely be a war for the whole world against the Ming Empire.

"Perhaps, it's time to activate the contingency plan...... We have referred to the proposal submitted to us by the Americans, and if the rebels are treated differently from the Japanese, and the scale of this war is reduced, we should be able to win some initiative in the international arena. He Yuxi, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites who had recently joined the diplomatic response to the Liaodong Incident, suggested this to Sun Fang, who was sighing beside him.

This suggestion of taking a step back is a compromise that Americans have come up with, and they have a natural advantage in thinking about the compromise of taking a step back. I don't know if it's because of the inner character of the country, or because of something else.

Of course, the main reason why this plan was accepted by the top leaders of the Ming Empire was because of the reasonable concession of this plan: its core idea was to negotiate peace with Japan alone, and to give up the responsibility for Japan's war. In this way, the so-called Jin rebels were treated differently and isolated - although the Ming Empire had some losses against Japan, it was able to successfully turn the Liaodong Incident into a civil war!

And what a civil war looks like is also a matter for the Ming Empire itself in legal theory. Although foreigners can continue to intervene under the guise of quelling the war, the Ming Empire had already delayed time by suing for peace with Japan at that time, and it was not impossible to seize the time to cause the victory of the Liaodong War to end.

Sun Fang also had no other way, he was able to stabilize the envoys of several countries and delay the peace talks of the Liaodong War until this time, and he had already done his best. Even His Majesty, the Emperor of the Ming Empire, canceled the court meeting for several days in a row in order to delay time, claiming illness. And their delay has indeed paid off, and the victory on the battlefield of Liaodong now seems to be beyond doubt—because not long ago, Fengtian City had re-hoisted the royal flag of the Ming Empire!
