Walking out of Sun Fang's conference room, the German envoy turned his face sideways and looked at the decent carriages flowing on the street. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info This era is changing, but the Jingshi of the Ming Empire can't see any clues.

"Do you know how many cars the Ming Empire is equipped with on the Korean battlefield?" The German envoy turned his head to the side and asked the Austro-Hungarian envoy beside him.

His question was endless, so Austria-Hungary was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. It took a long time for him to answer, "Uh...... Maybe they're more old-fashioned, maybe that's right. ”

"I can't see so many cars in Jingshi, which means that the emperor of the Ming Empire controls the production of automobiles and sends these cars to the front line!" The German envoy said this coldly, and then got into his carriage.

Now that he has some regrets about acting with such a stupid ally, shouldn't Germany be on the side of the wise?

"Ceylon has been defeated again and again on the battlefield, and it is no good for us to delay it at this time...... Obviously, the Ottoman envoys were more delicate than the Austro-Hungarian fools.

Caught between the Indian provinces of the Ming Empire, the British colonies, and the greedy Muscovy for a long time, the Ottoman diplomats were trained by the devil every day, so they were even better.

The Ottoman envoy followed the German envoy into the carriage and asked a question, which the German envoy nodded, and then closed the carriage door.

In a confined space, he spoke: "We have to wait for the fleet to decide the winner, and at the same time, we have to wait for Luzon to come up with a result." ”

While speaking, the German envoy squeezed out a smile: "It must hurt the Ming Empire, this decadent and old empire, it is possible to accept a not very decent peace!" ”

The conditions given by the British side actually have a bottom line, and the bottom line is to let the Ming Empire retreat to the Vientiane line, stop the offensive and accept peace.

At the same time, Britain and Ceylon had to make an agreement with the Ming Empire to classify the world's navies. Specifying the size of the fleets of the leading countries of the world.

Of these, the British Empire had a naval ratio of 20, France 7, Germany 6, Ceylon the same 6, and Japan 5, and the Ming Empire was only allowed to retain a total of 4 naval proportions.

In other words, the Ming Empire had to ensure that the total combat effectiveness of naval warships was lower than that of the Japanese Navy. to ensure the security of Japan, as well as the interests of Ceylon.

In fact, many of the provisions in this treaty were in the interests of Britain itself, such as the claims of India, which were for the sake of the Ottoman Empire and the British colonies.

Both the British and the Ottoman Empire wanted another country to serve as a buffer between themselves and the Ming Empire. And the Indian side, as the grass on the wall, has long been de facto autonomous, so this Indian clause is logical.

Fearing retaliation from the Ming Empire afterwards, Britain and the Ottoman Empire even facilitated the signing of the Trade Agreement on the Delivery of Supplies to the Indian Ocean, which armed India.

And Britain still has the bargaining chips of the German side, that is, to completely annihilate the navy of the Ming Empire, and to annex Luzon Island and threaten the thousands of miles of sea frontiers of the Ming Empire.

In addition, there are some bargaining chips that can be discussed, that is, depending on the outcome of the Battle of Luzon, there are variables that can be discussed separately. For example, the border demarcation on the southeast peninsula, such as the Korean Peninsula, which has been swallowed by the Ming Empire.

The question of where the two peninsulas can finally fix their borders depends on negotiations. In the eyes of the German envoys, the Ming Empire would not willingly accept the peace talks if the shells were not fired into the downtown area of Shanghai.

"Now it depends on the performance of the soldiers on both sides on the battlefield, who else is more patient." The German envoy closed his eyes and ended the conversation: "Go back and wait for news!" At least now all the news is more favorable to us! ”

The Ottoman envoy nodded, then pushed open the door of the carriage and jumped in. Seeing the other party leaving, the coachman quickly closed the door, and then drove the carriage in the direction of the German Embassy.

And by this time, the car of the Austro-Hungarian envoy had already left. I heard that Jingshi's "Caiyunjian" recently came to a good top brand, and he didn't want to waste his precious youth.

At least, in the outer city of Beijing, the title of ambassador of Austria-Hungary is still very tempting. As long as there are a lot of gold coins, there are girls who can't sleep.

Sun Fang leaned back in his chair and waited for his subordinates to bring him a cup of hot tea. He picked up the teacup, blew it on with his mouth, and took a sip of it.

Just before this meeting, he had just received news from the front that the old general Chu had lost contact with the Kunlun Mountain, where he was located, and the main fleet was fighting.

The flagships have lost contact, and no matter how much he doesn't understand the war, he can guess a result. It seems that the fleet of the Ming Empire has indeed been defeated, and now we can only wait for the final news to see if the defeat is decent.

Compared with those envoys, Sun Fang's channels for obtaining information were obviously faster. However, soon the other party will also know the news, after all, the British warship that sank the Kunlun Mountain will not be kept secret for the Ming Empire.

At this moment, I can only hold on hard, and hold on to the end to see who can endure what others can't, and then I can get a peace agreement with better conditions.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Empire, he knew that if he didn't operate well this time, he might really become a sinner of the Ming Empire.

What would be written about him in the history books? If an unfavorable treaty is signed, will he be said to be a traitor, will he be said to be a stupid dumb official?

If there are too many things to ask for, negotiations are difficult to achieve, and eventually lead to the outbreak of a new round of anti-Ming war, will he become a sinner of the nation and a promoter of the decline of the Ming Empire?

The dilemma is the real torment. Sun Fang, who boasted of being quite smart all his life, was still confused at this time.

Wang Jue...... Sima Mingwei...... Whether I will be doomed or not depends on the two of you......" Putting the teacup back on the table, Sun Fang muttered, and then closed his eyes as well.

On the far southeast peninsula, facing the hunting sea breeze, a young man with a pale face sneezed and rubbed his somewhat clogged nose.

Wang Jue has been standing there for a long time, he looks at the calm sea, and he doesn't know how long he will stand here. Everyone knew that he was waiting for news from the fleet, but no one dared to disturb him.

After all, all that is in hand now is unfavorable news that the battleship has been sunk.
