"It's shameless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info "Sun Fang, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Empire, was sitting in front of the diplomat from Germany at this moment.

His eyes drooped slightly, and he sat in his position with his hands shrunk into his sleeves, and the hands inside the sleeves had been clenched into fists, and the joints were a little white because of the excessive force.

"Lord Sun Shangshu, saying some digressions at this time is of no use to the Ming Empire." Standing behind the German diplomat, the Austro-Hungarian diplomat spoke.

There were four people in the room, one of whom was closest to Sun Fang, an envoy sent by Germany, and behind him, a diplomat from Austria-Hungary and an envoy from the Ottoman Empire.

These three people are the representatives of the three countries who negotiated with Sun Fang at this moment. Before they came here, they had already done something that made the Ming Empire uncomfortable.

The German Empire and Austria-Hungary collectively declared war on Muscovy yesterday and forced Muscovy to accept an armistice.

Under this treaty, Muscovy had to withdraw from the territory of the Ottoman Empire and recognize the independence of the Indian Federation.

In this way, it is tantamount to dismembering India from the Ming Empire and destroying the loose alliance between the Ming Empire and Muscovy.

Of course, Muscovy's withdrawal from the war also means that the-stirring stick in the north has disappeared, and the Ming Empire has to face the pressure of the whole world alone.

Paulus, a German diplomat who had come to mediate on behalf of Britain and France, looked at Sun Fang, who was sitting in his seat, and continued: "In addition, the British side is unwilling to accept the peace clause you proposed. ā€

"Your country's fleet has been destroyed, and the richest areas are within the range of British warships, and your country does not want hundreds of years of brilliant civilization to be destroyed in one fell swoop, right?" The Austro-Hungarian diplomat followed suit, threatening.

Sun Fang raised his drooping eyelids, looked at the Austro-Hungarian diplomat who spoke, and replied with a sneer: "The German envoy still has the saying that he is talking to me on behalf of Britain, what is the reason why you are making noise here?" ā€

"You!" The Austro-Hungarian envoy stretched out his finger angrily, but was pressed down by the German envoy halfway. After all, this is the capital of the Ming Empire, and there will really be chaos when there is chaos.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire and the German Empire had been at odds with the Ming Empire before, which really caused a miscalculation on the part of the Ming Empire's top brass.

Now the two empires have turned against Britain, although they did not declare war on the Ming Empire, but they also caused extreme dissatisfaction with the Ming Empire.

Now that Sun Fang doesn't give them a good face, they really don't have any way - compared to the British powerful navy, the two countries really have no means to deal with the Ming Empire.

Not to mention the two of their navies, which were oppressed by the British, the powerful armies of the two countries could not form actual pressure on the Ming Empire on the road.

Across the barren Siberia, the forces that both sides can gather in the wasteland are only a few hundred thousand.

The scale of such a war is not even a containment for the Ming Empire, at most it can only be regarded as a local conflict of a slightly larger scale.

Since they can't contain the Ming Empire, the role of their two countries in this war is really very small.

And if they really annoy the Ming Empire's Ministry of Rites and really arrest a few of them, they have no place to appeal.

Could it be that for the sake of a few of them, Germany and Austria-Hungary really traveled thousands of miles to the northern Liaobei region to find the bad luck of the Ming Empire?

In fact, the most it is to "condemn it harshly", and then protest and find some space in the peace treaty.

Compared to forcing the Ming Empire to honestly give up some vested interests at the negotiating table, and to make the ambitious young emperor accept a not very decent peace treaty, the gains and losses of a few diplomats are only small things.

Therefore, if Sun Fang was really annoyed at this time, it was not impossible for him to slap the twenty brocade guards outside the table and beat everyone.

In order to show the toughness of their own side, this kind of beating of opponent diplomats is not without precedent in history.

To put it again, this matter was first started by the European side. At that time, a king in Europe, in order to swear his tough attitude, beat the envoys of the Ming Empire and drove him out of the castle.

You see, if Sun Fang really beat them up at this moment, it seems that from legal principles to precedents, they are still reasonable.

"Not accepting?" Sun Fang saw that the German envoy had grabbed the Austro-Hungarian envoy who was annoyed and angry, but had no way to do it, and asked a rhetorical question.

He let go of the fist in his sleeve, reached out with his palm and pressed it on the arm of the chair, and said coldly: "The things we let out are not less." ā€

"The Ming Empire must withdraw from the Korean Peninsula and recognize it as part of the Japanese Empire...... In addition...... "the German envoy Lion opened his mouth and made his own request."

"Stop! Don't do anything else, we can't agree to this! There is no room for negotiation. Sun Fangyi waved his hand and interrupted the other party's words.

The Ming Empire's Ministry of Rites stood up, stared at the German envoy who was a head taller than him, and said slowly and solemnly: "Even if another 3 million people die in battle!" Destroying coastal cities, this condition is not to be discussed. ā€

As soon as the German envoy opened his mouth, he wanted to restore the pre-war borderline, which was of course unacceptable for the Ming Empire. The other party asked for a price, and Sun Fang naturally wanted to repay the money on the spot.

"If the two sides can't agree on this issue, then we'll take our leave." The envoys of the Ottoman Empire did not have a good impression of the Ming Empire.

His country had just been beaten by Muscovy, and he had lost a lot of land and soldiers. Without the support of the Ming Empire, Muscovy would not have fought such a war of expansion.

So for the Ottoman Empire, the Ming Empire is half an enemy. As for being afraid of the Ming Empire, because there is no direct border, the Ottoman Empire is naturally more flexible.

Hearing the other party's threat of resignation, Sun Fang was not angry, these days, the other party is nothing more than testing his bottom line, why is he not touching the other party's hole cards?

"Then let our soldiers divide the victory and defeat on the battlefield!" Sun Fang didn't hesitate at all, and stood up directly to see off the guests.

The German envoy frowned, but finally did not speak, and took the lead out of the reception room specially prepared by the Ministry of Rites. Seeing that the leader was gone, the remaining two had no choice but to turn around and leave in a gloomy manner.

It's not easy to code words, and the dragon spirit who is sick doesn't dare to ask for support and mercy, but only asks everyone to understand and wait patiently for the dragon spirit to make up for it...... Thank you...... Thank you.
