"Your Majesty, the minister promises, I will definitely strive for the greatest interests of the empire!" Foreign Minister Ng Dinh Fong replied, his eyes shining with a hint of excitement. What could be more satisfying as a foreign minister than when an empire has defeated an enemy country and then can be held up in high enough to impose harsh conditions on the other side?

"By the way, Your Majesty, the Russian side has also contacted us, and Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky is also on his way to Beijing. The Russian side said that it hoped to be able to negotiate with us. And in the process of negotiations, I hope that the two sides can temporarily cease fire! Wu Tingfang said. Obviously, seeing that other countries are scrambling to prepare for peace talks with China, the Russians will not be able to hold on.

"It is possible to negotiate peace with Russia, however, a ceasefire is impossible. Before an agreement is reached, the emperor team will continue to attack. Only in this way will we be able to guarantee our interests! Wang Yuze thought for a moment, and then said. At present, Russia is constantly sending troops to replenish the forces in the Omsk region. If there is a ceasefire between the two sides, it will undoubtedly give the Russians a good chance.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The Japanese side also sent Taro Kawaguchi, a former minister to China, in the hope that they could contact us and try to end the war! Foreign Minister Ng Dinh Fong said. Wang Yuze's attitude towards Japan is very clear to him. Therefore, whether or not to accept Japan's request for peace talks is completely uncertain in his heart.

"The Japanese? Hum! Weren't they so arrogant before? If you want to talk about peace now, no way! In the entire Far East and West Pacific region, there can only be one great power, and that is China! between China and Japan. There will never be any possibility of living in peace. This time. I have a great opportunity for us to destroy Japan. Don't miss it. However, since the Japanese want peace talks, there is no need to refuse. However, the conditions we proposed, they simply have no way to accept! Wang Yuze said coldly. No one knows the habits of the Japanese better than him, the typical bullying of the weak and afraid of the hard, only when the Japanese are hurt, they will be honest like a dog. For Japan. Wang Yuze also already has a general idea of how to deal with it. None of the radical army generals who are now in power in Japan can be retained. The Japanese Army must be completely disbanded, and the defense will be taken over by the squadron. Of course, if it is possible, the Japanese emperor will also be removed from power, so as to cut off the source of Japanese militarism. However, if you do this, I am afraid it will be a little difficult. The Emperor of Japan, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is not so easy to kill. If you really can't. We can only support a pro-China government for the time being.

"Yes. 陛xià! Foreign Minister Ng Dinh Fong nodded. Naturally, he knew that this was a great opportunity to establish China's leadership in the Far East and the Pacific. China will thoroughly use this opportunity to solve Japan once and for all. Therefore, any effort by Japan will be in vain. In the future, if Japan wants to continue to survive, it will be able to follow behind China, or become a dog raised by China.

"陛xià. The rest of the Pacific Fleet is over in a few days. If you want to launch a landing operation against the United States, you can start now. The Admiralty had prepared enough cargo ships and merchant ships to assemble in Hawaii. In addition, the 7th Army also began to be shipped to Hawaii. At present, the United States is frantically expanding its military and constantly transferring troops to the west coast of the United States, and if it drags on for a longer time, the more unfavorable it will be for us! Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wujian said.

"Now that it's deployed, let's get started!" Wang Yuze said. This is the time when the United States is at its weakest. The main force of the navy was annihilated, and the other warships were still on the slipway. The army has just begun to expand, and its combat effectiveness is extremely low, and it is no match for the elite Chinese army. As long as two army groups land in the United States, they will be able to sweep across the west coast of the United States. Of course, if the logistics can be satisfied, it will not be a problem to sweep across the United States. However, for the sake of safety, the General Staff still planned to control the war on the west coast of the United States, so that it could obtain favorable logistical guarantees, and the warships of the navy could also provide powerful fire support for the army.

"Yes, Your Majesty. In addition, the Second Army has already left for Korea. The General Staff believes that we can land in Japan at the right time and establish a forward base for our subsequent offensive! Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wu said.

"Hmmm! The General Staff will come up with a concrete battle plan! Wang Yuze said. Although Japan has armed an army of millions. But overall, when you can't even eat, how is the opponent of the squadron. Of course, in order to destroy Japan, China will definitely have to invest a large number of troops. At a time when the main forces of the army were fighting in Siberia and at the same time launching a landing operation in the United States, there were not enough troops to devote to Japan. Therefore, the war against Japan will be put to the end. After China and Britain, France, the United States, and Russia reach an agreement, they will take action to solve Japan. Before that, it is also very necessary to take a forward base.

"Anything else? If not, then disperse! Wang Yuze said. Now almost all the energy is put into the war and the follow-up to the war. War is only a means, and follow-up negotiations are the most important thing.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Finance has made a statistic that so far, the empire has spent a billion yuan in military spending in this war. In addition, it is estimated that 500 million yuan or more will be spent on military spending to end the war. Combined with the economic impact after the start of the war, the loss was more than one billion yuan. Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that in this post-war negotiation, the empire also needs to get 2.5 billion yuan in war reparations! Prime Minister Yang Hua said suddenly.

"Two and a half billion yuan?" Wang Yuze was stunned by this number all of a sudden. That's more than £600 million! However, it is very difficult to say whether such a large amount of war reparations will be obtained. Of course, the cabinet is not impressive. For example, the empire has gained so many territories in this war, and the resources and markets in these territories are also immeasurable. However, the war reparations, of course, are the more. I am afraid that a large part of these war reparations will have to be found in the heads of the United States, Japan, and Russia.

"Master Wu, do you hear that? Whether you can get the 2.5 billion yuan war reparations, or say more, depends on your Ministry of Foreign Affairs! Wang Yuze said with a smile.

"This, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will do its best!" Wu Tingfang replied. However, he still felt that the total amount of compensation seemed to be relatively high! It's just that when he learned about the conditions proposed by Wang Yuze, he was speechless.

"In this way, Lord Wu, you can stay for a while after the court meeting is over, and we will discuss the terms of the armistice against the United States!" Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Tingfang said.

Soon, the court meeting ended, and Wang Yuze and Wu Tingfang came to Wang Yuze's study. For Wu Tingfang, implementing Wang Yuze's will is undoubtedly the most important. Anyway, he also thought about it, and he would talk to the Americans about what Wang Yuze commanded.

"Lord Wu, the representative of the American side is almost here, right?" Wang Yuze asked.

"Your Majesty, Sherlock, the former U.S. minister to China, will come to Beijing from Tokyo, and will come ashore in Tianjin in three days. U.S. Secretary of State John? Sherman, to cross the entire Pacific Ocean, time is much slower. Even if you take a warship, I'm afraid it will take more than 20 days to reach Tianjin! Wu Tingfang said.

"It's okay, we can afford to wait anyway, they can't afford to wait. I have only a few demands for negotiations with the United States. You write it down, as the bottom line of negotiations with the United States! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Tingfang replied respectfully, and immediately took out a notebook, ready to start recording. Because the negotiations have not yet begun, the bottom line of the negotiations with the United States is top secret and cannot be leaked out, so there is no one else in the study except Wang Yuze and Wu Tingfang. Even Wu Hao, the chief of the guard, stayed outside to guard the door.

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Yuze said: "First, the United States must cede Alaska and California to China!" ”

"Huh?" Wu Tingfang was immediately stunned, he didn't expect Wang Yuze's first condition to be like this. He didn't have to think about it to know that the Americans would definitely not agree. However, after a moment's pause, he immediately recorded this one. He knew that Wang Yuze dared to offer such conditions, and he must have something to rely on.

"Alaska must get it, as for California, you can fight for it, and if the Americans are resolute, they can repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act and increase war reparations in exchange!" Wang Yuze continued.

Wu Tingfang nodded.

"Second, the United States will compensate for the cost and other losses, totaling one billion pounds!" Wang Yuze said.

Wu Tingfang was stunned again, a billion pounds! That's an astronomical sum! The annual fiscal revenue of the United States is only a little more than 100 million pounds, and the United States is suddenly asked to come up with 10 years of fiscal revenue, so how can the Americans agree? If it weren't for Wang Yuze being the emperor, Wu Tingfang would definitely think that Wang Yuze was crazy.

"No surprise, it's a billion pounds. Of course, the sky-high asking price landed to pay back. We can't say a billion, the Americans will give a billion. The bottom line is more than £300 million, and it's better to get £500 million from the Americans! Wang Yuze said with a smile. He remembered that in the historical "Gengzi Indemnity", the Western powers directly issued war reparations equivalent to 12 times the financial revenue of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In comparison, Wang Yuze is already very benevolent. (To be continued.) )
