Since it was decided to negotiate peace, the Japanese cabinet began to discuss again what country to mediate, and finally Saionji Gongwang made a decision and looked for his backer in Europe, the British. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

No one raised objections to this decision of the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, and everyone here knows that the relationship between the British and themselves is the best at present.

On the one hand, the reason why the British were sought to serve as mediators was because of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, and on the other hand, the interests of the Japanese in the Far East were closely related to those of the British, and the behemoth of Russia always needed to be restrained.

The Japanese were able to do this, so in the opinion of Saionji Gongwang, if they tried to mediate with the British, their side would not lose too ugly.

After the meeting, Saionji expressed his willingness to mediate to the British, and the British were very surprised by the Japanese proposal to mediate, and although the British were surprised by the Japanese willingness to mediate, they still agreed to mediate for the Japanese.

The fact that the British were going to mediate the war as a mediator was not a difficult news for the other powers to hear.

Shortly after the British agreed to mediate the war, the United States and Tsarist Russia also offered to join the mediation power in an effort to stop the war.

Everyone knows that in the name of mediation, these two countries are in essence just trying to obtain some benefits.

After three days of preparation, the war mediation team led by the British came to Fengtian City to discuss with Wang Bin about mediating the war.

And at the front line of the battlefield, at this moment, the soldiers under Shangwen finally believed the news that the logistics had been completely cut off.

Since three days ago, when he assured that there would be a batch of supplies to replenish him, the morale of the soldiers had indeed returned to normal.

But three days passed, and the supplies that Tatsumi Naowen promised to the soldiers never appeared.

Not only that, but I immediately saw that Shang Wen sent a telegram asking for help from the country, and I don't know what happened from the newspaper room.

By this time, the soldiers finally knew that they had become alone.

Immediately lost the will to fight, even if he immediately saw how Shang Wen boosted the morale of these soldiers.

However, these encouraging effects were very limited, and in desperation, Shangwen had no choice but to start waiting for domestic support.

For three days, Lijian Shangwen and Duan Qirui's side did not carry out any attacks.

The 30,000 troops of North Korea also arrived at the Phoenix front and the Beiyang soldiers completed the encirclement of the Japanese army in these few days.

After the encirclement was completed, both sides received the news of mediation at the same time, and after the Japanese army got the news, the soldiers had more or less a trace of vitality.

All that remains is to wait and wait for the final outcome of mediation.

In Wang Bin's mansion in Toyota City, there were bursts of Chinese at this moment, and this Chinese was spoken very fluently, and people who didn't know thought it was a Chinese person talking.

When I entered, I saw that it was an Englishman talking there.

"Your Excellency the Governor, you should know that war is a very bad thing, and you must know that in civilized society it is usually a way for barbarians to resort to force, so we should sit down and negotiate to stop it."

The words of the British Minister Zhu Erdian sounded like a joke to Wang Bin, should a civilized society sit down to drink tea and eat a bun or something to negotiate?

In Wang Bin's view, this method is TM's nonsense, if it is like what you Zhu Erdian said, then how did the Opium War come about? How did the events in the Gengzi period come about?

Although Wang Bin thought so in his heart, he still said calmly to Zhu Erdian on the surface: "Your Excellency, in my eyes, war can be divided into two types: just war and unjust war. ”

As soon as Wang Bin's words came out, Zhu Erdian knew that the governor must be about to express some opinions, and then sure enough, Zhu Erdian heard Wang Bin continue the above words.

"A war based on self-defence, the defence of peace, the defence of national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the sake of freedom and dignity is a just war, while a war motivated by oppression and plunder, on the contrary, is an unjust war.

In the opinion of this official, it was the Japanese who started the war this time, but now it is good to find that they can't defeat this official, and when I think about finding someone to mediate, did I think that when I was looking for someone to mediate, did I think that it was they who first insisted on invading our three eastern provinces? ”

As soon as Wang Bin's words came out, Zhu Erdian suddenly became a little stuck, because what Wang Bin said was indeed the truth, and at this moment, even Zhu Erdian found that he couldn't refute Wang Bin's words at all, and for a while Zhu Erdian sat there very embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, Zhu Erdian was cursing his stupid Japanese ally in his heart, a good and winning war, but he didn't expect that in the end, even the Qing army couldn't beat it, and it also made people fall into the truth, and the British Empire had to come over to wipe his ass for this stupid ally in the Far East.

Just when Zhu Erdian didn't know what to say, the Russian minister Pukodi watched the joke from the sidelines, and the Japanese did not have enough military funds to support this war during the Russo-Japanese War.

But the British were in a position to balance Tsarist Russia, and secretly supported the Japanese with a large amount of funds so that the Japanese had the capital for the Russians to fight.

Under such circumstances, it was finally eliminated by the American minister Rou Keyi.

"Your Excellency the Governor, this time we are here to participate in the mediation of the war, so we might as well listen to the mediation plan brought by Minister Juerdian first."

Rou Keyi's words finally opened the topic for today's meeting, and also gave Zhu Erdian, who was very embarrassed at the moment, a ladder to come down.

After listening to Rou Keyi's words, Zhu Erdian first threw a grateful look at Rou Keyi, and then continued Rou Keyi's words.

"Your Excellency the Governor, for this mediation, the first thing the two sides should do is to stop the fighting and ensure the most basic supplies for the besieged Japanese soldiers."

After Zhu Erdian's words were finished, Wang Bin followed closely.

"Of course, there is no problem with this, but the premise of all this must be to reach mediation, otherwise in the end, the mediation will not be reached, but the official has invested a lot of materials, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses!"

Wang Bin's abacus was very simple, and the Japanese army that had lost the logistics supply was like a huge stone, forcing the Japanese government to mediate as soon as possible and rescue the Limi Shangwen.

In this way, under the premise that the Japanese government is trying to make an emergency to see Shangwen, it is inevitable to make a slight concession to itself so that it can achieve the results it wants. (To be continued.) )
