Shanhaiguan is not a prosperous city in the first place, so naturally there are no high-end hotels. The hotel where the ministers stayed was actually just a relatively good hotel.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beiyang Government sent bread to this hotel for ministers of various countries to stay. In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a deputy minister to preside over the peace talks. Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi stayed in Yanjing City and did not follow.

The entire hotel has been controlled by a company of the reconnaissance battalion of the 9th Infantry Division of the Jilin Army. The envoys of various countries are responsible for the security of the hotel. Of course, when Wu Haoxuan entered the hotel, he also brought his own guards in. Who knows if the talks fall apart, little Japan will be annoyed and angry. If they do it, won't they have to play?

Therefore, Wu Haoxuan's guards forcibly entered the hotel and took over part of the internal defense of the hotel. Ensure that in case of trouble, Wu Haoxuan can evacuate safely. Of course, this kind of tough attitude made the British Minister Sir Zhu Erdian and the Japanese Minister Hayashi Quansuke very dissatisfied. They even took the opportunity to incite other ministers and called on them to join forces to put pressure on the Jilin Army.

It's just that no one wants to be used as a gunman by them, so Sir Zhu Erdian and Minister Lin Quanzhu have to give up.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, in the conference room of the hotel, Wu Haoxuan met with ministers from various countries. In this negotiation, he and the Japanese Minister to China, Hayashi Quansuke, are undoubtedly the protagonists. The British Minister to China, Sir Jurdyon, acted as mediator and leader of the legation and presided over the negotiations. U.S. Minister to China Jean Rou Keyi, German Minister to China Hahausen, Russian Minister to China Fincodi, and French Minister to China Pasteur attended the meeting as observers. As for the vice minister of foreign affairs of the Beiyang government, he did not appear in the conference room at all.

"Humph! His Excellency the Young Marshal is really so imposing, he actually openly sent troops to take over the defense here. This simply does not take our countries into account. After Lin Quanzhu saw Wu Haoxuan, he immediately said with a cold face.

"I have always had great respect for the ministers of various countries. It's just that I don't worry about the despicable character of some countries. If you can't beat the other party on the battlefield, it's common to use conspiracy and assassination behind your back. Wu Haoxuan raised his eyebrows. Immediately retorted.

The other ministers couldn't help but laugh. In particular, the Russian company Finkodi even echoed Wu Haoxuan.

"That's right, some countries are inherently despicable, assassination is the best at that kind of thing, Your Excellency the Young Marshal must pay attention to your own safety." Finkodi kindly reminded. Naturally, everyone knows which country he is referring to. During the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese did not wreak havoc in the Russian Far East. Those Japanese intelligence officers and the people they bought. The destruction of communication lines everywhere made the Russians miserable, and even directly affected the performance of the Russian Army on the front line.

"Thank you for the reminder, I'll take note." Wu Haoxuan nodded, smiled and said. Although, Lao Maozi is not a good person. However, at this time, the deep hatred between Lao Maozi and the Japanese was undoubtedly something he could rely on.

"Yaga. You are making an unwarranted accusation against the Empire of Japan, and you must apologize to the Empire of Japan. Otherwise. The army of the Japanese Empire will level the entire Tohoku and make you pay an unimaginable price. Minister Lin Quanzhu was furious, pointed at Wu Haoxuan and scolded.

"Hmph, I'll wait, as long as Japan has such capabilities." Wu Haoxuan snorted coldly. If the Japanese really have that ability. Then they won't whisper and ask for peace talks, and directly defeat the Jilin Army on the battlefield, how good is that? It can also be a lot less tongue-in-cheek.

"Well, both, arguing won't help solve the problem. Let's go back to the negotiating table and resolve the issue calmly. Sir Jurdian spoke. If Wu Haoxuan and Lin Quanzhu are allowed to quarrel, then the negotiations will not be able to go on at all.

The British Empire is the world's most powerful country, and Zhu Erdian is the leader of the legation, so others naturally can't help but give him face.

Lin Quanzhu snorted coldly and sat back in his place with a puff. And Wu Haoxuan looked at him contemptuously. He didn't pay attention to Lin Quanzhu's threat at all. Anyway, now that the Jilin Army has the upper hand, the situation is very favorable to him, and he has nothing to fear.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the conflict that has now erupted in the Northeast has seriously threatened peace and stability in the Far East. Therefore, the British Empire hoped that the Jilin Army and Japan would calm down, restrain themselves, and resolve the conflict by peaceful means. Minister Zhu Erdian glanced at Wu Haoxuan.

"The Empire of Japan was a peace-loving country, and we never wanted to start a war. In this conflict, the culprit was the Jilin Army, which launched an attack on the railway garrison brigade of the Japanese Empire without authorization, and the Japanese Empire fought back. Therefore, the Jilin Army must assume the responsibility of provoking the conflict and pay sufficient compensation to the Japanese Empire. Otherwise, the Empire of Japan would not have given up. Minister Lin Quanzhu immediately shouted.

"You're talking nonsense. The Jilin Army has the right to march freely on Chinese soil. However, your railway garrison brigade not only unreasonably obstructed the Jilin Army, but also shot and killed the soldiers of the Jilin Army, which has already constituted a provocation against the Jilin Army, and the Jilin Army will of course fight back. Therefore, the Japanese side is the main culprit who provoked this war, and you should make compensation to the Jilin Army. Wu Haoxuan retorted-for-tat.

In peace talks, it is important who provoked the war. Wu Haoxuan would never admit that he ordered the first shot at the Japanese. Anyway, the main force of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Railway Garrison Brigade that fought with the Jilin Army at that time had already been wiped out, and there was no evidence for it, so he could say whatever he wanted.

"Nonsense, you are slandering the Imperial Japanese Army. The Imperial Japanese Army was a highly disciplined army, and it would never attack the armies of other countries without receiving orders from its superiors. You were the first to attack? Lin Quanzhu roared angrily.

"A well-disciplined army? Is the Japanese Army also considered such an army? Don't forget how many innocent civilians you killed during the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War. If such an army were a disciplined army, there would not be so many innocent casualties. Wu Haoxuan looked sarcastic.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army is indeed very strong. But military discipline? It's always been terrible. They do not treat the common people of other countries as a matter at all, and completely see them as objects to be slaughtered and plundered at will.

"Slander, this is a slander against the Great Japanese Empire." Lin Quanzhu stared at Wu Haoxuan viciously.

"Is it slander? I think the ministers of various countries should be very clear. Wu Haoxuan smiled and said.

"I can testify that His Excellency the Major Marshal is right, that the discipline of the Japanese Army is indeed very bad, and that they not only kill civilians at will, but also do not spare prisoners who surrender. During the Russo-Japanese War, many poor Russian soldiers who had surrendered were killed by them. The Russian minister, Finkodi, immediately jumped out.

"Bastard!" Lin Quanzhu scolded in his heart, and looked at the eyes of Finkodi, more like eating people. These Russians, who have jumped out again and again to oppose them, have a very bad conscience. If I had known, I should not have let these Russians go so easily during the Russo-Japanese War.

Facing Lin Quanzhu's vicious eyes, Finko was not worried at all. Although Russia lost the Russo-Japanese War, their strength was still not weaker than Japan's. It's just that Russia's center of gravity is in Europe, too far from the Far East. Before the Trans-Siberian Railway was built, they could not deploy too many troops to the Far East. But even so, Russia is not an easy target for Japan to provoke.

Sir Zhu Erdian, who presided over the negotiations, couldn't help but feel a little headache, if this continues, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to reach an agreement in this negotiation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the past is not what we are going to talk about in this negotiation, so let's put it aside for now. What matters is how the conflict between the Jilin Army and Japan can be ended. Sir Jurdian spoke.

"The French government also hopes that peace will be restored to the Far East at an early date." French Minister Pasteur also said.

"I don't have an opinion, as long as the Japanese side doesn't reverse black and white." Wu Haoxuan said with a smile.

"Damn fellow." Lin Quanzhu scolded secretly. He also knew that he could not afford to waste any more time. The fierce fighting in Liaodong continued, and the officers and soldiers of the Japanese Army were paying with their lives at every turn. An early end to the war will allow them to secure the guarantee.

Lin Quanzhu took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and then said: "In this conflict, Japan was attacked by the Jilin Army for no reason, and the losses were extremely heavy. Therefore, we demand that the Jilin Army make compensation to the Japanese side, severely punish the generals who caused the incident, and guarantee that similar situations will not happen again. Due to the casualties of the Japanese Army, the Jilin Army had to pay 500 million Chinese dollars in compensation to the Japanese Empire. In addition, it was necessary to compensate the Empire of Japan for its losses during the war, such as the loss of the South Manchurian Railway and the Empire's factories and mines around the railway. Finally, the Jilin Army must ensure that it will no longer be hostile to the Japanese Empire in the future. The size of the Jilin Army must be limited to less than 100,000. ”

Lin Quansuke directly prescribed the conditions of the Japanese side. It's just that Wu Haoxuan laughed dumbly after hearing it. Are these Japanese people caught in the door? Could it be that in this battle, was the Jilin Army lost? (To be continued......)
