The pressure of public opinion in the countries of the great powers was so great that since the news of the capture of the Allied Command was transmitted back to the countries, the media of various countries did not know where to get the news, and they were always able to publish the latest news in the newspapers the next day.

Anti-war public opinion in various countries was in full swing for a while, and many people even took to the streets to protest against the government putting their soldiers in danger.

And the people in power in various countries have already blocked the news from the beginning, and even shut down some of the most ruthless media outlets.

But it still doesn't help, if you block one, another media will stand up and speak.

Russia and Japan, which have suppressed public opinion the most, have long since ceased to be reported by the media, but domestic rumors have not decreased, but have become more and more intense.

As a last resort, governments have to come forward to refute the rumors and release the latest information at the same time.

Although the situation is different in each country, the information released is much the same, and basically starts around a theme.

That is, the headquarters of the coalition forces was attacked by surprise, and the headquarters with only a small number of troops to defend was eventually defeated by the enemy, so that the headquarters was captured. However, the main coalition forces were still in the upper hand, the troops did not suffer too many casualties, and the governments were confident that they could bring the troops and the captured coalition headquarters back home safely.

On the one hand, they came forward to refute rumors and prevent them from spreading more and more in China, and on the other hand, the envoys of the eight countries stationed in the Qing Dynasty also urgently convened an emergency consultation meeting and announced the ideas of various countries at the meeting.

Tianjin, which has become a gathering place for foreign countries in China. Originally, they wanted to return to the capital, after all, the original embassy was there, but just before returning to the capital, news came that the capital had fallen.

What was even more unexpected was that the coalition headquarters was suddenly captured, and the main force of the coalition army, which was fighting in the south, suddenly lost its command.

If it was just the loss of command from the headquarters, it would be better to say, and the most serious thing is that they lost all the supplies together.

In order to speed up the pace of the offensive of the main forces of the coalition forces, the coalition forces have been constantly transporting supplies in the past few months.

There are not many surplus supplies left in Tianjin, and the route from Tianjin directly to the front does not seem to be absolutely safe.

This also forced the various countries to have to give orders at the same time, and the troops returned directly from Hebei to Tianjin, waiting for new orders.

The last time they held a consultation was five days ago, and at that meeting, they decided to recall the main force back to Tianjin.

Five days later, the outcome of the consultation seems to be even worse than it was five days ago.

With the capture of the coalition headquarters, the coalition forces immediately fell from active to passive.

Obviously, the countries will never tolerate the capture of the headquarters, and at the same time, it is absolutely impossible to continue the war persecution against the Qing state without regard for the safety of the personnel of the headquarters.

The meeting was attended by a large number of people, and the German minister of duty was stationed in China.

The Austro-Crarian Empire sent a mission to China to act as a plenipotentiary minister.

The Belgian Chin sent to the Chinese Cheap Minister Plenipotentiary Yao Shiden.

The Spanish Bourbon Chin sent the Chinese Minister Plenipotentiary to garrison Grogan.

U.S. Chin Cha Special Minister Plenipotentiary for Peace Matters Rou Keyi.

The Minister Plenipotentiary of France is stationed in China, the Prime Minister of Kyoto, China, and the affairs of the country are cheap and the affairs of the country are cheap.

U.S. Chin Cha Cheap Acting Plenipotentiary Minister Sadao Yi.

The Italian Chin was stationed in the hereditary marquis of China.

Japan's Minister Plenipotentiary Komura Shoutaro.

The Dutch Chin sent to China to act as Minister Plenipotentiary Krober.

Russian Minister Plenipotentiary of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court of the People's Republic of China.

Originally, there were only eight countries that sent troops, but there were eleven countries that declared war at the beginning, and the defeat of the eight-nation alliance naturally meant the defeat of the eleven countries that declared war.

Therefore, the final negotiations naturally require the joint participation of representatives of the 11 countries.

After all, everyone knows very well that if the victory is finally achieved, then the three countries that did not send troops will not come forward to negotiate, then the others will be happy, after all, then they can take some more reparations.

But now the situation is different, and if anyone wants to withdraw, the eight countries that sent troops will not agree. Therefore, the representatives of the eleven countries can only gather together for the next negotiations.

"The Qing Empire is running out of time for us, we must agree before it gets dark today, and then rush to Kyoto to negotiate with their ministers, so please don't do some useless fighting, let's just pick out our own bottom line." The British Chinchasa said bluntly.

This time, Sa Daoyi sat directly on the throne, and he didn't look at the expression of the German Chin Cha Musa at all.

And Mousa also knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't fight for a moment's worth of words.

If it weren't for Wadsey's miscommand and such serious consequences, how could he Moussa stay here and suffer such a wretchedness?

'What an abomination! As soon as he remembered the current situation in Germany, Moussa clenched his fists fiercely, and he wanted to punch Wadsey to death.

Sa Daoyi glanced at everyone present and found that no one planned to say his bottom line first.

Seeing this, Sa Daoyi couldn't help but shake his head, and his heart was even more helpless.

For the bottom line of various countries, in fact, they are very different, and the reason why they don't open their mouths is because they don't want to lose this person or come out of this head.

It can even be considered that the bottom line of each country fluctuates, in short, it is about the same as the bottom line of other countries.

"Since no one has spoken, let me first talk about the bottom line of the British Empire. The Qing Empire must ensure the safety of our British Empire personnel, and at the same time, this is an armistice agreement, for which the Qing Empire must pay the British Empire's military expenses and severely punish several criminals who provoked this war. If possible, they would need to pay a war reparation. Sadao said the bottom line of the United Kingdom, and presumably the bottom line of other countries is almost the same.

Isn't the reason why they sent troops for these purposes?

As for the indemnity, it can be counted in the military expenses for the troops and soldiers, and how much money was spent in this is negotiable, but at least the capital must be preserved.

For example, the cost of using a warship, the cost of paying personnel, the cost of weapons and ammunition, and the cost of resettlement of fallen soldiers.

Obviously, the great powers wanted to save face, and secondly, they still followed their previous habits, believing that the Qing court would inevitably agree to their conditions in order to end the war as soon as possible.

Because this is too different from the previous reparations, as for the war reparations, this is just a mention, if the Qing people react strongly, it is not impossible to do not, after all, there must always be a room for bargaining.

Next, several countries have expressed that their bottom line is similar to that of the United Kingdom, and everyone can negotiate with the Qing State according to this bottom line.

As for what this bottom line is, no one knows this, and this can only be negotiated little by little, and it is not that you can give as much as you want.

"We just fell in this war because of carelessness, and I suggest that when the headquarters returns, we will immediately launch a second attack on the Qing State. This time, our Great Japanese Empire will produce another elite division. After determining the bottom line, Komura Shoutaro immediately stated his position.

For the Japanese, who had already tasted the sweetness of war reparations, they naturally could not accept the result of defeat.

Five years ago, Japan received a large amount of reparations from the Qing state, so that the Japanese were able to increase their national power several times in just a few years.

In fact, the Japanese don't have much money anymore, and in order to fight this war, the Japanese have basically taken out all their family resources.

If it can't get the war reparations from the Qing Dynasty, then Japan will be tantamount to making a loss-making transaction, which is how can this be acceptable to Japan, which is short of money?

For this reason, Japan has decided to lend money to other countries to support them in continuing the war.

Of course, if the countries don't agree, the Japanese will still do it, because the Japanese can't accept such a big loss, and they have to get it back and make a lot of money.

Sa Daoyi frowned deeply, the second war, although the British side also wanted to completely defeat the Qing State and get enough benefits.

However, the current situation in Britain was not enough for them to continue to wage a second war. In the Boer field, the British have now fallen into a passive situation, compared to the Far East, the British can only pay more attention to the Boer field, otherwise, the British will suffer more losses.

"I support this proposal, and our Russian Empire will also increase the strength of one division." Gerth suddenly had a smile on his face, and he was surprisingly supportive of the Japanese proposal.

"The United States has increased its troops by up to two battalions!" Rou Keyi said.

"France cannot continue to increase its troops." Bao Wu said.

According to the current situation of increasing troops, then the coalition army can increase by about 35,000 troops, and if Britain adds another 5,000 troops, then with the addition of the existing army, the total strength of the coalition army will reach more than 76,000 people.

If it is just to put pressure on the Qing State, then it is okay to do this, but if the Qing State continues to resist, this will not work, and the strength of 50,000 people will not be able to do it, what kind of effect can it play in adding 26,000 people?

In short, it's still a sentence, the Qing country is too big.
