It's embarrassing, Ramsdorff only has this feeling now, he wants to refute, but there is nothing to say, diplomatic occasions have always spoken with strength, and in the Far East, Russia has indeed lost its right to speak.

"Hmph, Russia still has millions of troops, and once it is transferred to the Far East, victory will still belong to the great Tsarist Russia!" Ramsdorff threw down a threatening word and turned to leave the venue. It is obvious that he has been excluded here, so it is better to go back first and ask for instructions before making plans.

Ramsdorff left, and no one stopped him, but now all eyes were on Zhang Taiyan. Rolmo laughed secretly, the Chinese are really stupid, Russia is their ally, the allies do not help when they are in trouble, and now they are in a situation where they are alone, isn't they looking for trouble!

Ruvier was silent, Rolmo and Kato were smiling, and Hurut was about to speak. Zhang Taiyan said with a smile: "Your Excellency Hurut, is there anything you want to say?" ”

"Yes, the mediation meeting needs to be attended by all parties, and now that the Russian delegates are leaving, shall we suspend the meeting for the time being and wait for the Russian delegates to decide when to continue their participation?"

Rolmo waved his hand: "No, it seems that you have reached a consensus on the status of Russia in the Far East, compared to His Excellency Ramsdorff going back to ask their tsar, we can discuss other matters first, and then discuss things about Russia after Ramsdorf returns, after all, the war needs to end immediately, and our time is precious." ”

Zhang Taiyan has no opinion, get France, Russia leaves temporarily, and now only the representatives of Britain, Japan, the United States, and China are left, and Britain and Japan are on the side that is completely opposed to China, so the key depends on the opinions of the Americans. Several delegates realized this at the same time and turned their eyes to Hurut.

"Your Excellency Shroutte, China and Russia are aggressive in their expansion in the Far East, and they are both countries on the Pacific coast. I believe that the United States does not want to see China and Russia harm their own interests. The fact that China's fleet can reach the Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands in a short period of time greatly threatens US interests in the region, and China's fleet must be weakened, which is a necessary condition for achieving peace in the Far East. Takaaki Kato was the first to attack.

Rolmo nodded appreciatively, this short Japanese ally has finally returned to normal, and his words are also the consensus of the two after discussing it before. The United States has very few colonies, and Cuba and the Philippines were acquired in the Spanish-American War, and the only two colonies must be guaranteed to be absolutely safe, which is the most effective way to drive a wedge between China and the United States. After all, Huaguo's super warships are already the target of everyone, and no one wants to see this kind of warship dangling in their sphere of influence.

"If China wants to keep its own super-warships and fleet, it must disclose the manufacturing technology of such warships to Britain, the United States, Japan, and France, so that all countries have such warships, so that all parties can maintain a balance. I think that's the fairest solution. Rolmo interjected in time. This was a plan he had been planning for a long time, and he finally found an opportunity to say it during the meeting. It is difficult to obtain the manufacturing technology of that kind of warship according to the means of purchase or war, and only by threat can China obediently hand it over. Before coming, Rolmo already knew that his country was building a cross-era "Dreadnought-class" battleship, and he thought that he could lead the world, but he did not expect that Huaguo would take the lead in showing this type of battleship, and its manufacturing time, technology, cost, etc. are all mysteries.

How many years has China only been established? How long has Lu Liang's Zhenguo Party been established? A 50,000-ton battleship, not to mention the resources expended. Time alone cannot meet the needs of reality. Now the great powers have sent a large number of spies to infiltrate China, taking the intelligence of super battleships as the first object of search. And a large number of technicians and experts in the rear analyzed it according to the intelligence of the institute, but so far no conclusions have been drawn, let alone the manufacturing technology that the powers need most. Therefore, in addition to mediating the war, Rolmo's task is more important to obtain the manufacturing technology of super battleships.

After Rolmo finished speaking, Hurut, Ruvier and the others all looked at Zhang Taiyan directly. Those who are a little more attentive can see the saliva at the corners of several people's mouths, and the real salivation!

"China is a victorious country and does not need to pay any price, on the contrary, we need to get compensation from the defeated country. Is Lord Holmes out of wreck? Think of China as a defeated country! Again. China's super battleships are top secrets and are the most powerful guarantee against the aggression of foreign powers. The importance of the super battleship to our country is equivalent to the importance of India to Britain. "Zhang Taiyan can't make any concessions at this point, in fact, Britain already has the ability to build dreadnought-class battleships, and the first one will be launched soon. What they lacked was only the ability to build larger-tonnage battleships and larger-caliber guns, and even if they got the technology, they would not be able to replicate the Gotsugaku-class battleships under the existing technical conditions.

"What are you kidding Mr. Zhang, how can India be compared with battleships? One India is worth a hundred battleships, and its value is not comparable to that of a weapon! Speaking of India as if stepping on Rolmo's tail, he immediately retorted loudly, and his voice was even a little shrill and ridiculous under the influence of excitement.

"Your Excellency, is your country willing to give up the colony of Indochina? If we can, we are willing to exchange it for the entire set of construction drawings and technology of the Gotsugaku-class battleship. "Zhang Taiyan had an idea, anyway, you won't build it in a short period of time, and the shipbuilding level of the great powers is superb and mature, after realizing the benefits of the Wuyue ship (equivalent to a dreadnought), the country's designers will soon create a Wuyue ship that belongs to their own country, so it is better to exchange the Wuyue-class battleship for some benefits!

This matter was not agreed by Lu Liang in advance, and it belonged to Zhang Taiyan's on-the-spot performance, but afterwards Lu Liang was also very satisfied with Zhang Taiyan's proposal, which shows that Zhang Taiyan has mastered the essence of diplomatic negotiations.

This made Rouvier speechless, France was very much thinking of the Wuyue ship, but it was also reluctant to French Indochina, which was more than the area of the French mainland, rich in resources, and strategically important, which was very important for France's strategy in Asia. Ruvière did not dare to make a decision on such an important matter.

"Mr. Zhang, this matter is not something that I can decide, and I still have to ask the country, but I think it is impossible to exchange Indochina for warships. The design of the Wuyue-class battleships has been thoroughly understood by our designers, and they can also design similar warships, and our demand for the Wuyue ships is not so high. Ruvier began to retreat, and Zhang Taiyan was happy to see him retreat.

Shifting its attention to Hurut, the United States' demand for the Wuyue ship is not as good as that of France, and its level of warship manufacturing is not as good as that of France. This is not a lie, in this era, the center of the world is still Europe, and the United States until World War II, many technologies still have to turn to Britain, from small submachine guns to large tanks and warships.

"I wonder what the United States can come up with in exchange for China's Wuyue ships?" Zhang Taiyan asked happily.

Looking at Zhang Taiyan's appearance, except for a large area of land, he would not be interested in anything else, and Hurut simply lowered his head and did not answer Zhang Taiyan's question.

Lightly stopped the criticism raised by various countries from the battleship, and Zhang Taiyan also began to exert his authority: "The fact that China is the victorious country is an ironclad fact, no one can change it, and China has the right to make legitimate demands." In order to achieve peace as soon as possible, we are willing to take a step back, and we can change the point that Japan must surrender unconditionally, and Japan can declare defeat and accept the compensation conditions proposed by China! ”

"Don't you think Your Excellency Zhang Taiyan is ridiculous? Japan was not defeated, there were still more than 400,000 warriors in Manchuria who fought to the death, and tens of millions of citizens on their own land who were loyal to the emperor and swore to drive out the invaders of China! On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor and tens of millions of people, I solemnly demand that China immediately withdraw from Japan and compensate Japan for the losses caused by the war. ”

Speaking of this, Takaaki Kato smiled, and there seemed to be some conspiracy hidden in his smile. He took a file bag from the staff behind him, then slowly opened it, and showed the documents and photos in his hand to everyone.

"The tragedy of the shameless attack on our great Prime Minister Saionji Kobo has angered His Majesty the Emperor and angered all the Japanese people. In order to achieve peace as soon as possible, we had to agree to hold talks as originally planned, but that does not mean that we have given up on pursuing the death of His Excellency the Prime Minister. ”

"This is the evidence collected by our investigators, and the facts fully show that the assassin who launched the attack came from China, and it was the shameless Chinese who planned the attack!" Kato's words surprised everyone, the investigation team organized by the US government included all relevant countries, but there was no progress until the beginning of the talks, where did Kato get the evidence?
