A Sichuan tobacco, full of wind and flocculents.

Suddenly, spring arrived silently.

From the south of the city to the north of the city, green like floating silk threads, swimming slowly in the air, everywhere you go, the trees are green, the river is clear, the smoke is straight, and the smiles on people's faces are getting thicker.

Freed from the thick winter coat, the whole person felt relaxed, and the lazy feeling of winter was swept away. The brisk call of the bird also seems to indicate that life has begun to be in a colorful season again.

Last night, a spring rain sneaked into the streets and alleys of Nanjing, washing the streets and houses of the city, and bringing a burst of fresh smell. When people open the windows in the early morning, they feel that the hazy and gray city in the winter is gone, and under the soothing of spring, the city has become clear and beautiful after ten months of renovation and has more Yanjing atmosphere.

Under the action of the wind, the withered yellow leaves of the French plane tree transplanted last year swirled and fell from the sky, mixed with rainwater on the wet and spacious asphalt pavement, making the road a little dirty, but the little green that emerged from the withered yellow on the plane tree also rendered the scene of spring, which is the real spring!

The capital's people filled the air with laughter and laughter as they left the city to visit the dozen or so parks that were built last year and have been put into use in recent days. This is the season of hiding, and the people of nature will not give up such a rare opportunity, and they will be the first visitors in the first spring of the sixteen parks in Nanjing.

But not everyone can enjoy the privilege of being one of the first visitors, at least for the Chinese and Chinese diplomats who are engaged in high-level negotiations between the two countries in the Imperial Hotel, the breath of spring not only does not make them feel cheerful, but as the negotiations progress, it will lead to a deterioration in the mood of the diplomats of the two countries.

The Italian crystal chandeliers flickered brightly, and on both sides of the long green velvet tables spread under the chandeliers, the diplomats and military officers of the two countries continued to argue as before, although the two countries agreed to achieve a ceasefire in the three places in a "friendly atmosphere" at the beginning of the talks, but the friendly atmosphere will immediately disappear without a trace as soon as the issue of the substantive surname is involved.

“…… Withdraw your troops, withdraw your troops unconditionally, withdraw your troops from Northeast China, whether you withdraw to Yuben or withdraw to South Korea, this is not what we are asking about, our only demand is that Yuben must immediately and unconditionally withdraw its troops, otherwise it will be difficult for us to make any guarantees! ”

Liang Dunyan said with a serious expression, on the issue of withdrawing troops, he has been entangled with Ito Hirobumi in front of him for three days, but he has not been able to make any progress.

"It is said that Ben will definitely withdraw his troops from Manchuria! Just as Ben has always insisted that Manchuria is part of Chinese territory. ”

Compared with Liang Dunyan's solemnity, Ito Hirobumi's expression was extremely relaxed, and when he was sure to withdraw the army, he raised his eyes and looked at Liang Dunyan.

"But the premise of the withdrawal of troops is that Russia must withdraw its troops from Manchuria, at least until Russia defeats Russia, we insist on this, and the withdrawal of troops from Manchuria must be premised on the withdrawal of troops from Russia and Russia, and only in this way can we give an account to the people!"

"Confess?"

"Yes, Minister Liang, in the final analysis, this war was carried out in order to protect China's Manchuria region from being annexed by Russia and resolutely assuming the obligations of Asian countries, so at the end of the war, it is necessary to be able to withdraw troops on reasons that can convince the people, and I hope that your country can understand the difficulties of this country."

Ito Hirobumi is telling the truth, and now Ito has the nickname of "Ito who betrays the country", and even the army is strongly resisting pressure from the people to achieve a comprehensive ceasefire with China, so as to adjust the seriously damaged army, or at least to jump out of the encirclement of the Chinese.

"And your country is still encircling the army on the front line of Tieling and Fengtian, this is undoubtedly an extremely inappropriate way, and in this case, no one can eliminate the pressure and dissatisfaction from the people, I hope your country can understand!"

"Dean Ito, you always say that we should be considerate of you, be considerate of you, so who will be considerate of us?"

Wang Shizhen, who had never spoken, was unhappy when he heard Ito's words, and he stood up and faced Ito.

"You want to fight on our land, you have fought for a year, how many Chinese have died, how much property has China lost, how much have we sacrificed? Do you understand? It's good, and now we're politely asking you to leave the Northeast, and it's hard to say,"

Wang Shizhen slapped the table with his right hand, and when everyone was shocked by the sound of slapping the table, he coldly spit out a sentence.

"Just let you fuck off!"

To everyone's astonishment, he sat back in his chair and muttered as he sat down.

"Such a big person, why can't you understand people!"

Naturally, no one cooperated with his muttering here, but everyone knew the meaning of his words, not human things, so naturally they couldn't understand human words.

"General Wang, are you a threat?"

Nagaoka waishi forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, his eyes stared at Wang Shizhen deadly, he did not expect that at this time, these damned Chinese would be so arrogant, did they think that there was really only one way to seek peace?

"Threat?"

Wang Shizhen, who had interfered with the negotiation, smiled, and he didn't care about the sudden change in Liang Dunyan's expression beside him.

"If you still want to stay in the northeast, that's a threat, and I don't think the soldiers on the front line will mind sending you with artillery......"

His eyes were cold, and Wang Shizhen's voice was slightly raised.

"Fuck off!"

As Wang Shizhen expected, as soon as he was slightly stimulated, Nagaoka Gaishi could no longer control his emotions, he stood up violently, and held the long table with both hands.

"Then let's talk with guns!"

"Is this an invitation?"

This time, it was Wang Shizhen's turn to ask rhetorically.

"As you wish!"

Almost at the same time, the two of them walked towards the exit of the conference room where they had entered, and as they left, they even looked at each other hatefully, and the negotiations were undisputed because the words between the two generals in charge of the ceasefire were interrupted, and neither of them could have predicted what would happen next!

Damn soldiers!

Both Liang Dunyan and Ito Hirobumi hated and scolded in their hearts at the same time, from the very beginning, the two felt that the military intervention in the negotiation was a mistake from the beginning, but this negotiation was inseparable from the military.

"Dean Ito, I guess the negotiations have broken down, haven't they?"

"They fight theirs, let's talk about ours, I think if it really can't be stopped, then let's control the scale of the war!"

Hirobumi Ito gave a surprising answer to Liang's question, but as he left, he glanced at the wall calendar.

The representatives of Britain and France, who were also involved in the talks, were also stunned by this scene, and they could never have imagined that 10 days after the armistice, China and China would go to war again.

"April 2nd!"

"Finally changed to a cannon to speak!"

After listening to the report of the attendant with a happy face, Chen Moran immediately drank excitedly. In the end, at the "friendly suggestion" of the Russians, China asked the British and French war witnesses to observe the negotiations to ensure that there would never be any private dealings between the two countries that were unfavorable to Russia.

"Your Majesty, the Second Pacific Fleet, which has sailed into the Strait of Malacca for two months at the island of Bey in Madagascar, has sailed into the Strait of Malacca, and it is expected that it will probably sail into Cam Ranh Bay, where it is scheduled to rest, in the coming days."

Ye Zugui hung his head slightly, during this period, the navy can be described as "no achievements", but while the Admiralty remained silent, it also used the intelligence network initially set up by the Naval Intelligence Department to pay attention to the progress of the Russian and Russian navies.

"In addition, Senior Colonel Nasayev, the Military Attache of the Imperial Russian Navy in China, has made a proposal to the Admiralty, hoping that our country, out of the duty of an ally, will allow the Imperial Russian Navy to enter the Sandu Australian military port for rest!"

His words made Chen Moran, who was originally happy, open his eyes.

"They want to enter Sanduao?"

Sanduao is the home port of the Chinese Navy, after losing almost all of the natural harbors, as the only natural harbor under the control of China, the depth of the port is more than 60 kilometers of Sanduao, naturally became the base camp of the navy, it is expected to invest 200 million yuan in ten years to operate the Sanduao military port, not only a naval base, but also a shipbuilding base, and now the Russians are eyeing Sanduao.

"Yes, Your Majesty, they want to use Sanduao to repair their warships!"

"Tell them our dockyard isn't ready yet! If you can...... Well! Dock repairs in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Mawei can be taken into account, if they are willing to divide their forces! ”

Chen Moran waved his hand casually, Sanduao is a place that will never be touched by other countries, and even the navy has planned to move out of the tens of thousands of residents on the islands in the coastal bay and bay, and at the same time close Sanduguan, so that the navy can exclusively enjoy the first good port in Asia surrounded by mountains, in the future, China will not have any Nanyang or Beiyang fleet, only one ocean fleet, and the main force and base camp of the ocean fleet is Sanduao, at least before the invention of the aircraft, the enemy country will never threaten the fleet and shipyards and other facilities hidden in Sanduao.

"But Your Majesty, according to the words revealed in the petition of Colonel Nasayev, the Russian Empire will send a group headed by Prince Mikhail, the younger brother of the Tsar, to Nanjing, and now that their train has crossed Manchuria and will arrive in Nanjing in the next few days, it is obviously inappropriate to refuse directly!"

Ye Zugui opened his mouth to reply, and then continued to persuade.

"Your Majesty, the temporary opening of the Sandu Australian military port to Russia can be exchanged for a proper return from the Russians, we need time, and the Russians are also willing to transfer the drawings and technical data of the Borodino-class battleships to our country, and the new dockyard can find out the surname of the Russian Navy warship through the maintenance of the Russian [***] ship, and it can also get a lot of money, and the naval shipyard does not mind using the remuneration from the repair of the ship to build a new dock ......."

"No, this doesn't need to be considered, Sanduao is our most important military port, with the first time, then there will be a second time!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Moran directly chose to refuse, the conditions offered by the Russians may be very tempting, but the real problem is that China only has such a military port.
