Zhu Erdian saw that the Japanese replied to him that he could give up Nanman appropriately in exchange for the relief of the siege by Lijian Shangwen, and he was very surprised when he saw this Zhu Erdian, this kind of regressive style has never been something that the Japanese government can do by itself. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, since the Japanese have made such a decision, Zhu Erdian does not want to ask the past rhetorically, anyway, the cessed interests are not his British Empire's, but the Japanese themselves, and now he only needs to complete this mediation as soon as possible.

As soon as he received the telegram from the Japanese government, Zhu Erdian again put forward the intention of restarting the mediation, and to be honest, Wang Bin was a little disbelieving when he heard that the mediation had begun again.

This time, there were only two possibilities for the mediation to start, the first was that the Japanese accepted some of the conditions they had given, and the other was that the Japanese simply refused.

However, the biggest possibility is that Japan didn't even look at its own conditions, and directly rejected them, with Wang Bin's own ideas, the Japanese could not accept the conditions they offered at all, and with the unruly character of the Japanese, they would not accept the conditions they offered.

Wang Bin's mansion and the like, after Zhu Erdian and other ministers came to the living room again, several people first greeted each other, these ministers have been in China for a long time, and they have mastered some etiquette.

After the greetings, Zhu Erdian sat in his place and said to Wang Bin.

"Your Excellency Governor-General, I sent to the Government of Japan the proposals you made yesterday, and just this morning the Government of Japan replied to its views on these conditions."

As soon as he heard this, Wang Bin didn't say anything, and spoke directly to Zhu Erdian.

"Your Excellency, if you have something to say, just say it directly, why bother saying it halfway through and not saying it." As for the Japanese government's answer, although I have known for a long time that it is nothing more than two reactions, it is better to know earlier.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the Japanese government's answer is that it wants to cede South Manchuria in exchange for the relief of the siege by General Tsumi Shobun, but on the Korean side, the Japanese government does not agree to give up."

Give up Nanman! As soon as Wang Bin heard this, his face was full of disbelief, the Japanese would give up all the rights and interests of South Manchuria, and this matter sounded inconceivable to Wang Bin.

But it can also be seen from the side that the Japanese government is determined to rescue Lijian Shangwen, and after hearing the concessions made by the Japanese government, Wang Bin did not answer immediately, but thought in his heart whether he could accept such conditions.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Bin found that he still could not give up the independence of Korea, as long as Korea was still independent, then Japan's threat to himself in the Far East was basically negligible.

But if the Japanese agree to the conditions this time, Korea will soon be taken by the Japanese again, according to the hatred that the Japanese now have for themselves.

In the future, when he chases the Central Plains, he may send troops from North Korea to give his rear a hard blow, so Wang Bin is not at ease.

As long as Korea becomes independent, there will be a buffer zone, and there is basically no need to worry about the rear of the Central Plains in the future.

Then Wang Bin spoke: "Your Excellency, for the Japanese side to deny the independence of Korea, this official still says this sentence, any country should let the people come out to speak, I think the same is true of your country, now the people of North Korea desperately want independence. Who are we to stop it? ”

This sentence is simple and clear, that is, let Zhu Erdian tell the Japanese government that the Nanman official will not give up, and not only that, Korea must also be independent and free from the control of the Japanese.

After hearing this, Zhu Erdian suddenly had a big head, why is this Wang Bin so obsessed with the independence of North Korea, the Japanese have given you Nanman, why should you be obsessed with North Korea?

Zhu Erdian didn't understand where Wang Bin's persistence came from, nor did he want to know where Wang Bin's persistence came from, and now he had to tell the Japanese about Wang Bin's decision again.

Then this mediation broke up unhappily, after Rou Keyi and Zhu Erdian left, Pu Kedi stayed, Wang Bin saw this, and immediately asked.

"Your Excellency, why did you stay?"

Wang Bin was very curious, why did Pu Kedi stay and didn't leave with Zhu Erdian and the others, could it be that he had something to say to himself?

"Your Excellency the Governor, this time the Japanese have already been considered to be bleeding, and South Manchurian is only a year of holding their hands for them, and they are about to be let out, why do you still demand that Korea must be independent?"

As an economist who became a diplomat halfway through, Pukodi really couldn't understand the twists and turns, so he stayed and wanted to ask.

"Your Excellency, although this time the Japanese are very sincere and directly cede South Manchuria, how much reluctance will they have to give up South Manchuria?"

Wang Bin's meaning is very simple, it has only been a year since South Manchuria was in the hands of the Japanese, and it has not yet produced enough benefits, so for a South Manchurian that has not produced a large number of benefits at present, the Japanese government can still give up if it is a little ruthless.

"This problem, naturally, is relatively simple, Nanman has only been in their hands for a year, and it has not yet been fully developed. It is not impossible for the Japanese to give up temporarily. ”

"That's right, Your Excellency, the Japanese in South Manchuria can give it up for the time being, but Korea is different, and Korea can be regarded as Japan's bridgehead in the Far East.

If the Japanese are not driven out of Korea, then the Japanese will always obstruct some interests and cooperation between you and us in Manchuria.

Rather than doing this, wouldn't it be better to take advantage of the present moment and directly cut off the hand that the Japanese stretched out in the Far East. ”

When he said this, a certain look flashed in Wang Bin's eyes, if Zhu Erdian and the others were still here, they would feel that Wang Bin had a taste of conspiracy at this moment.

But it's a pity that Pu Kedi, who is a senior economist, can't feel the atmosphere of this conspiracy at all, but feels that Wang Bin's words have a lot of truth.

"I didn't expect His Excellency the Governor to have such a vision, but I was a little worried."

"Your Excellency the Minister is really complimenting the official, now we just need to wait for the reaction of the Japanese."

Wang Bin said with a slight smile towards Pu Kedi. (To be continued.) )
