"Oh God! Are the Chinese crazy? Cedion of Alaska and California with a compensation of £1 billion. Do they think we will agree to such conditions? "Theodore? Roosevelt roared angrily. Such conditions are far beyond what they can accept. Originally, they thought that at most, a little blood, and compensation of 100 million to 200 million pounds in compensation to China, would be able to solve the problem. After all, after the defeat in the last war, only 80 million pounds were compensated. But the current conditions are more than ten times better than the last time!

"Gentlemen, what shall we do now?" President Garrett? Hobart asked with a gloomy face. Although, he succeeded William? McKinley became president and was ready to carry the blame. However, such a big black cauldron is not something he can afford to carry! If he dares to sign the treaty, I am afraid that the angry American people will definitely tear them to pieces.

Secretary of War Russell? A. Alger and Secretary of the Navy Theodore? Roosevelt was silent. There is no doubt that the Chinese are fearless and are not at all afraid that the United States will not agree. Now the Chinese fleet is heading for the West Coast of the United States, and in a week, it will launch an attack on the West Coast and burn the war to the United States. At that time, if the United States does not agree, it will suffer huge losses.

After a long time, Secretary of War Russell? Alger said: "Your Excellency, it seems that this war between us and the Chinese will not work without fighting!" If we can withstand the attack of the Chinese, or seize the initiative in the battlefield. Then we are qualified to negotiate terms with the Chinese. If we fail, of course. After paying a heavy price, it is still no match for the Chinese. Then we can't do anything. You can only ask the Chinese to lower the conditions as much as possible! ”

"But what if the population doesn't agree?" President Garrett? Hobart asked. In William? When President McKinley was forced to resign, the American people were already very dissatisfied, and they were very dissatisfied with the Republican Party. And the Democrats, now surely waiting for the Republican administration to make a mistake. When the time comes, they will definitely jump up and down and demand the resignation of the government again.

"Your Excellency, if we cannot resist the attack of the Chinese. There will definitely be heavy losses. In the face of huge casualties, the people will recognize the huge gap between us and the Chinese. When the time comes, they'll understand what we're doing! "Secretary of War Russell? Alger said.

Undoubtedly, Secretary of War Russell? Alger's opinion is to use the blood of the US ** team to make the American people recognize the reality. In this way, the blame does not fall on Garrett? The president and government of Hobart are headed. And even if they fail and sign a treaty that humiliates the country, they will be able to escape.

"Use the blood of soldiers to make the population realize reality? Your Excellency Alger. Isn't that too cruel? "Garrett? President Hobart said with a frown. There is no doubt that once the attack of the Chinese is blocked, it fails. The hundreds of thousands of U.S. Army troops deployed on the West Coast will suffer huge casualties.

"Your Excellency, I also think that this is the best way to go. The people were very dissatisfied with our government, and blamed the loss of the war on our incompetence. If we can make the people realize the gap between us and China through this battle, it will be very beneficial for our next governance. At that time, we will also be able to further expand our armaments according to our plan and prepare for the next victory over China! "Secretary of the Navy Theodore? Roosevelt also said.

"However, if we are defeated, the conditions of the Chinese will definitely become more and more harsh, even if the industrial strength of the United States becomes stronger and stronger, but for the United States, it is also a huge pressure, and we will not even be able to repay these huge war reparations!" Garrett? The president of Hobart still has some doubts.

"Your Excellency, although the conditions put forward by the Chinese are very harsh. But I believe that this is only a temptation on their part. The actual conditions will not be so harsh, and we can talk to them in detail when the time comes. In addition, His Excellency the Secretary of State could be contacted by Britain, France, and Russia to try to reach agreement on this matter. In this way, we may be able to reduce our losses! "Theodore? Ross Fujian yì road.

"Alright then, let's do it! Your Excellency Alger, the army is ready to defeat the Chinese if possible! "Garrett? There is some hope for the President of Hobart.

"Yes, Your Excellency! The Army will definitely do its best! "Secretary of War Russell? Alger assured. Of course, he didn't want to fail, but if there was really no way, then there was nothing he could do. After all, the Chinese Army has won too many victories in this war, and in comparison, the US Army is like a baby, how can it compete with the Chinese Army. Fortunately, they have a geographical advantage, otherwise, this battle would not have been able to be fought at all.

Taro Kawaguchi, former Japanese minister to China, was very angry in the past two days. Immediately after his arrival in Beijing, he submitted a request to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to meet with Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang. However, for two days, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs simply ignored him. Sherlock, the former U.S. minister to China who arrived with him, was received by Wu Tingfang the next day. In Kawaguchi's view, China simply looked down on Japan, which gave him a very big blow to his self-esteem. If it weren't for this heavy responsibility, he would have gone back to Japan a long time ago. However, he learned that the conditions put forward by the Chinese to the United States seem to be very harsh. Although both China and the United States are quite secretive about this, and he is unable to get the specific conditions proposed by China, he can still analyze them from the clues.

It was not until the afternoon of 30 June that the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed Taro Kawaguchi that His Excellency Ng Dinh Fong, Minister of Foreign Affairs, would receive him in the afternoon, but only for half an hour. Although this made Taro Kawaguchi very angry, he didn't want to give up this opportunity. At 4 p.m. that day, Taro Kawaguchi arrived at the office of Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang on time.

"Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, it is a great honor to meet you!" As soon as he saw Wu Tingfang, Taro Kawaguchi bowed at 90 degrees, looking very humble.

However, seeing Taro Kawaguchi's appearance, Wu Tingfang just sneered, and there was no other expression. Perhaps under the influence of Wang Yuze, the top of the empire has always been a little hostile to the Japanese. As Wang Yuze said, these Japanese are very respectful on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are indeed despicable and shameless. Many people were deceived by the appearance of the Japanese, and finally fell into their way.

"Hello, Lord Kawaguchi! I wonder what happened to Your Excellency's visit to China this time? You know, now our two countries are at war! Wu Tingfang said with a cold face.

Taro Kawaguchi was already angry in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. After China and Japan declared war on each other, Japan has always been in a position of being passively beaten, and now it has been completely blocked, and the country is already miserable. Japan does not pose the slightest threat to China at all. Japan's hundreds of thousands of troops are all trapped in the Japanese islands. It can be said that China has taken advantage of the war against Japan.

"Your Excellency, the war between China and Japan this time is a complete misunderstanding. For thousands of years, China and Japan have always been friendly neighbors separated by a strip of water. Although over the years, because of many misunderstandings, the relationship between our two countries has been greatly affected. But in the hearts of the emperor and the people of our country, China has always been regarded as their best friend! Taro Kawaguchi said without blushing.

Wu Tingfang's face was full of sneers, what a neighbor with water. For a long time, when China was strong, Japan was very well-behaved and very respectful to China. But once China falls, Japan will pounce on it like a wild dog, trying to bite off a piece of meat on China's body. China does not dare to ask for such a friendly neighbor. And Wang Yuze and the top brass of the empire have decided this time that the crisis in Japan must be completely resolved.

"Lady Kawaguchi, none of this matters. It is important that now our two countries are in a state of war. I can tell you very frankly that unless one side declares that it admits defeat, the war will not end! Wu Tingfang interrupted Taro Kawaguchi's ramblings.

Taro Kawaguchi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Excellency, the Japanese government deeply regrets this war. For the sake of the people of the two countries, the Japanese side is willing to admit defeat and end this war! ”

"Good, if that's the case, it couldn't be better! Although Japan admits defeat, if it wants to end the war, it must agree to several conditions for our country! Wu Tingfang said with a smile.

"Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, please say that if it is reasonable, Japan will definitely agree!" Taro Kawaguchi knew that China was going to take advantage of Japan.

"First, Japan admits defeat and pays a billion pounds in reparations! Second, Japan ceded Hokkaido and Kyushu and its affiliated islands to China! Third, Japan disbands its army and navy, and a part of the police can be retained, and Japan's defense will be taken over by the squadron! Fourth, Japan canceled the title of Emperor and changed his name to Wawang, and came to China to worship the emperor! Fifth, all the Japanese army and navy generals who started the war will be tried by the special military tribunal set up by China! Sixth, China wants to station troops in Japan! Wu Tingfang said all these conditions in one go. (To be continued.) )
