522 Old tears
By the time the negotiations reopened, the situation was different from the day before. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The news of Lan Fang's bombing of Tokyo has reached Coconut City, and last night Yuan Jing tried to find Qin Zhiyuan, Huang Bohan, Lu Zhengxiang, and anyone he knew to express his protest, but Qin Zhiyuan and they did not give Yuan Jing a chance, because just last night, Qin Zhiyuan, Huang Bohan, and Lu Zhengxiang were busy coordinating their interests with representatives of various countries, and they had no time to deal with Yuan Jing.
Everyone can see that Japan has been completely defeated in this war and has no power to fight back, and at this time, no one will lend a helping hand to Japan, and everyone wants to get what they want in this feast.
That's right, it's a feast, a feast to carve up Japan.
Japan began the Meiji Restoration in the sixties of the nineteenth century, and has been going on for 60 years now.
60 years, this happens to be a jiazi in Chinese society, and it can also be described as a "reincarnation", which has a special significance.
The Japanese are indeed very good at learning, and they have enough patience to endure in difficult circumstances and carry out their work meticulously.
As a result of Japan's efforts, Japan's national strength has risen dramatically, and Japan has gained the international status it had previously dreamed of.
For Japan, in fact, the United States and Britain have their own demands, for example, the "Colorado" class battleships being built by the Americans still use 14-inch main guns for their main guns, while the British "Nelson" class battleships and the Japanese "Nagato" class battleships have already used 16-inch guns.
As an old maritime power, Britain has no shortage of technology, but like France, which was hit hard in the world war, Britain urgently needs to restore its national strength, so the market of the Republic of China is becoming more and more important.
The husband is not guilty, but he is still guilty.
Not to mention the fact that their own behavior has already aroused the strong resentment of all the major powers at this time.
The British and Americans were never philanthropists, they spoke for the Japanese, perhaps because the Japanese gave them some promises, but when everyone could see that the Japanese had been defeated, those promises had already vanished.
If commitment is needed, wouldn't it be better to work with Lan Fang, who has already become the winner?
So Yuan Jing became the most unhappy one in the whole Coconut City, and when the negotiations restarted the next day, Yuan Jing was dressed in black, with a headband wrapped around his head, and a rib and ring sword stuck around his waist, so he walked into the venue with a sad and angry face.
When they saw Yuan Kei, everyone's faces were filled with consternation.
Looking at Yuan Jing's dress, this is to find someone desperately!
That's funny, modern society has entered a "civilized society", or everyone present thinks that they have entered a "civilized society", to be a person to be self-contained, to be more graceful when representing the image of the country, to be despised by people for stalking, and to be spurned by everyone for their bravery.
Ignoring the dark and inexplicable gazes of everyone, Yuan Jing came to the center of the negotiation venue by himself, looked around at the various expressions around him, and then said calmly: "Just yesterday, our capital was raided by the Lanfang Air Force, and in just one day, 150,000 people were killed, 2 million people were displaced, and the economic losses were countless, I want to ask you, is this what you want?" Is that what you want to see? When 50 million Japanese are cornered, have you ever thought about the consequences? As the Prime Minister of Japan, I can't forgive myself, whether emotionally or legally, and I, as the Prime Minister, must be responsible for such a thing, so today, if there is a punishment, I will bear it. ”
This......
Could it be that Hara Kei is going to commit suicide by caesarean section?
"Don't talk so much like a victim, although you are indeed a victim now, but don't forget that this kind of suffering, as early as 25 years ago, you imposed on us, have you forgotten all the past history? If today's people in Tokyo are miserable, then who should the soul of Lushun go to to complain to? Did our Tokyo operation kill only seven people in Tokyo? If your fleet is miserable, then does the Beiyang Naval Division sunk in the Yellow Sea deserve it? Have you forgotten the 'Zhenyuan' you dismantled seven years ago? Lu Zhengxiang immediately got up and retorted.
Being strict with others and being lenient with oneself is what the Japanese are talking about.
The Lushun Massacre occurred during the Sino-Japanese War, when more than 20,000 people in the city of Lushun were systematically slaughtered.
"The matter of Lushun, that is a mistake formed by history, has become a mistake in the past, a mistake left over from history, how can people today bear this kind of consequences?" Yuan Jing was not busy disemboweling, when it came to the image of the country, Yuan Jing had to respond.
"Don't talk about history, in terms of time, it has indeed become history, but emotionally, we have never forgotten. Not only us, but also you Japanese, you have never forgotten that after your victory in the First Sino-Japanese War, when your soldiers and diplomats returned home with the spoils of war, did not your people rejoice? When you provoke our Lanfang's bottom line again and again, don't your people fantasize about another victory? Now that you've lost, of course you can put on a victim to gain sympathy, but what about when you're victorious? Have you ever cared about other people's feelings? Lu Zhengxiang rebuked with righteous words.
Diplomats eat by their mouths.
Politicians, on the other hand, are more likely to take advantage of "momentum".
It's a pity that the current trend is that Lan Fang is the winner, and the right to speak is in Lan Fang's hands, so even if Yuan Jing has great ability, Yuan Jing can't show it.
"If Mr. Prime Minister wants to take responsibility, that's fine, when you leave Lanfang by boat, no one will interfere with whatever you want, but if Mr. Prime Minister wants to make some scandal here, then it's fine, Lanfang still has enough bombs, and the bombing will continue, and the scale will get bigger and bigger, and the return will involve every corner of Japan, until another prime minister comes and admits defeat." Lu Zhengxiang did not shy away from giving a warning.
If Yuan Jing really died during the negotiations, for whatever reason, it would be an out-and-out scandal for Lan Fang.
Therefore, Lu Zhengxiang warned that if Yuan Jing wanted to use his death to trap Lan Fang in injustice, then Lan Fang would definitely retaliate, and the revenge would be more intense.
"You deceive people too much!" Yoshiichi Tanaka, who had been watching coldly, finally couldn't help but speak out.
As the Minister of War, Tanaka Yoshiichi is the big boss of all the Japanese Army, the Japanese army has been defeated again and again on the battlefield, no matter how many objective reasons, Tanaka Yoshiichi has a responsibility that cannot be shirked, and it is precisely because of this that in fact, Tanaka Yoshiichi should be even more seppuku.
"When Li Zhongtang begged you to reduce some of the compensation as your own travel expenses back to China, did you agree? Is your behavior too much deception? Have you ever reflected on yourself? No! You don't! You even treat those cold deeds as a celebration of heroic deeds, and with your jewels in front, don't blame our wooden coffins behind. When Lu Zhengxiang said "Li Zhongtang", he did not forget to bow his hand to show respect.
When Lu Zhengxiang came out, Li Hongzhang was still the minister of Beiyang, no matter what Li Hongzhang's reputation was, Lu Zhengxiang still retained his respect for Li Hongzhang.
It is precisely because he was a diplomat that Lu Zhengxiang can understand Li Hongzhang's difficulty, those who say that Li Hongzhang betrayed the country can ask themselves, in that situation at that time, can it be possible to change people not to "betray the country"? If you replace Li Hongzhang with yourself, can you do better?
"Don't talk nonsense, we can't beat you in the first year, we admit it! How much do you want, how much land you want, we give! Now that you are not convinced, you can go back and regroup, and we will start all over again. Qin Zhisheng was-for-tat.
In the Lanfang army system, in addition to Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhisheng is the first person to do it, Qin Zhisheng is qualified to say this, if Tanaka Yoshiichi really wants to fight, Qin Zhisheng doesn't mind doing it all over again.
Do it all over again?
What are you kidding, can the Japanese southbound fleet and the Japanese northbound fleet that sank to the bottom of the sea still be fished out?
Even if it is fished out, can so many dead naval essences be resurrected?
So Hara Kei and Tanaka Yoshiichi fell into a long silence.
"Well, we can't beat you, we'll admit it...... How much money do you want, how much land do you want, we will give ......" Yuan Jing finally spoke in a gloomy manner, and at this moment, it was as if the whole person had no energy, and he was dozens of years old out of thin air.
"Japan must return the areas formerly under Japanese control on Sakhalin Island, the Kuril Islands, Goryeo, the Ryukyu Islands, the Penghu Islands, and Yingzhou to Lanfang......," Lu Zhengxiang demanded.
"No! Those places are not Lanfang's, if we want to return them, we should also return them to the Republic of China, what does it have to do with you Lanfang? Yoshiichi Tanaka immediately protested.
"Can ......" Yuan Jing's face was blank, and he didn't mean to argue with reason at all.
"Prime Minister......" Tanaka Yoshiichi was about to split.
"Yes!" Hara insisted.
Yoshiichi Tanaka let out a long sigh and sat down on the ground with his head buried between his knees, and it was obvious that he could hear Tanaka's cry like a wounded lone wolf.
"Japan must cede the Mariana Islands, the Marshall Islands, the Carolingian Islands, the Ogasawara Islands, etc., to Lanfang as war reparations......" Lu Zhengxiang continued to make his own demands as if he did not hear Tanaka Yoshiichi's cry.
"It's okay to ......" Yuan Kei still agreed with a blank face, without any dissatisfaction.
"Japan must compensate Lan Fang for 1.5 billion Lan Fang military expenses, and this money must be paid in gold, and if the gold is not enough, it must be used to use other items approved by Lan Fang to pay for it." Lu Zhengxiang continued.
"You can ......" Yuan Jing Muran.
"Japan must renounce all treaties with the Republic of China, and give up all rights outside the customs of the Republic of China, and these rights will be returned to the Republic of China." There were already tears in the corners of Lu Zhengxiang's eyes, and his voice was amazingly high.
"It's okay......" Yuan Jing said that everything this time was okay, even if it was to let Yuan Jing die, I'm afraid Yuan Jing would agree.
"Japan must carry out a disarmament program, and from now on, Japan cannot have an army in its own country, and national security will be the responsibility of Lan Fang." Lu Zhengxiang put forward the most important one.
“…… OK! This time, Yuan Jing was silent for a long time before nodding in agreement.
When the word "can" spat out of Yuan Jing's mouth, two lines of old tears finally rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
