"Mr. Liang, you should know that if this war continues, it will not benefit either of you and me, so why should we continue this senseless war?" Sergei asked with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Sergei is absolutely right, the reason why we are sitting here to negotiate is to end this meaningless war as much as possible, and only by reaching an agreement will the war naturally end, right?" Liang Yan said with a smile.

"Okay!" Seeing Liang Yan's resolute attitude, Sergei shook his head helplessly and said, "Then let's officially start negotiations now!" I wonder where Mr. Liang plans to start? ”

"The reason for the outbreak of this war is that in the final analysis, it is because of the territorial dispute, and now that we want to negotiate peace, the first thing to be solved is naturally the territorial issue, and if this problem is not solved, there will always be a hidden danger of war between our two countries, so we must first solve this problem." Liang Yan said with a stern face.

"Alright! Then let's start with the territorial issue. Your country accuses our government of encroaching on your territory, but the fact is that those territories are all lands that we legally acquired by signing a treaty with the Qing government, and those territories are already the legitimate territory of the Russian Empire and are protected by international conventions. Sergei said with a stern face.

"If your government has always held such an attitude, I don't think there is any need for this negotiation to continue!" Liang Yan couldn't help but show a trace of anger on his face, what is the right person to sue first, and what is called a rake. Just look at the faces of these Russians, it is clear that you have illegally occupied our territory in China, but now you are here to swear that we are aggressors, it is simply unreasonable, and how can Liang Yan not be angry.

"Don't be angry, Mr. Liang, the negotiations have just begun. We can discuss any conditions slowly! Seeing that Liang Yan was angry, Sergei immediately panicked and hurriedly said. At this time, Russia was in the midst of internal and external troubles, not to mention that the European battlefield was also not optimistic, so the Russians were anxious to negotiate peace with China first. At first, the Chinese people were resolute and did not agree to negotiate peace at all, but under the vigorous mediation of Britain and the United States, they reluctantly agreed to the talks, and the Russians naturally cherished this hard-won opportunity for negotiations.

"As I said earlier, if the territorial issue is not resolved, there will be no point in this negotiation." Liang Yan said with a cold face.

"Oh well! In order to reach an agreement as much as possible. We are willing to make concessions. More than 440,000 square kilometers of territory east and south of Lake Balkhash and north and south of Jaisannur. Cession to you, we have made such a huge concession, I believe you should see our sincerity! Sergei said helplessly.

"Mr. Sergei, I have to remind you that the territories you are talking about were originally the territory of our China, and they were illegally occupied by your Tsarist Russia in the Treaty of Beijing and the Treaty on the Survey and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary. We resolutely refuse to recognize these unequal treaties. You give us back our territory, can this be called sincerity? Liang Yan glared at Sergei and asked coldly.

Sergey couldn't help but frown, long before coming to Beijing. He expected that this negotiation would not be too smooth, after all, the Chinese had won on the battlefield, and they would definitely take the opportunity to open their mouths, but the vast land of Siberia. It was Tsarist Russia that absolutely did not want to spit it out, so Sergei proposed at the beginning to return those territories in northwest China to China, but never mentioned the territorial issue in the northeast and other places. Sergey thought for a moment. felt that it was necessary to explore the bottom line of Huaxia Kingdom first, so he said, "Since Mr. Liang thinks it is inappropriate. Then please state your conditions, since it is a negotiation, any conditions can be put on the table to negotiate. ”

"Good! His Majesty, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, had just issued a decree, and the Emperor said that it was okay to negotiate with Tsarist Russia, and His Majesty the Emperor did not want to continue to fight with Tsarist Russia, and the two sides had to redraw the border at that time. Liang Yan said seriously.

"As for how to demarcate the border, I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor of your country has a clear instruction!" Sergey hurriedly asked.

"Of course, His Majesty the Emperor said that the redrawn boundaries must be bounded by the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, and the Caspian Sea, with China to the east and Russia to the west!" Liang Yan said very seriously.

"It's impossible!" Sergei stood up directly, with an extremely angry expression on his face, and glared at Liang Yan. Ren Chao's knife was too ruthless, and he directly cut over more than two-thirds of Russia's territory, how could Sergei not be angry.

"Mr. Sergei, don't be angry yet, there is a saying that I don't know if Mr. Sergei has heard of, it is called a qiē is possible. According to relevant historical records, by the middle of the 16th century, the unified state of Russia was basically formed, and its territory stretched from the White Sea in the north, the Oka River in the south, the upper reaches of the Dnieper River in the west, and the Ural Mountains in the east. In other words, the territory east of the Ural Mountains did not belong to you Russia in the first place, but was acquired by your illegal aggression, and now it is time to return it to its original owner. Liang Yan said with a smile on his face.

"Returning to its rightful owner?" Sergei laughed angrily, "What a joke, yes, before the sixteenth century, the regions east of the Ural Mountains did not belong to our Great Russian Empire, but these places did not belong to your China, and our Russian Empire conquered these places, and these places should belong to our Russian Empire." The contemptible people really did not understand what Mr. Liang said about the return of things to their original owners, and the contemptible people thought that the conditions proposed by Mr. Liang were really rude to the extreme, and there was no possibility of further discussion. ”

"Really? Then I would like to ask Mr. Sergei, you Russians are Europeans? Or Asian? Liang Yan said with a smile.

"Does this issue have anything to do with today's negotiations?" Sergei said with a frown. Sergei is not a fool, and naturally knows that it is impossible for Liang Yan to ask such a question for no reason, so Sergei did not rush to answer Liang Yan's question, so as not to accidentally fall into the ditch. Negotiations between the two sides, especially between the two countries, are full of deceit, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the ditch dug by the enemy, leading to incalculable consequences. Therefore, the negotiating table has always been called a battlefield without gunpowder, and on this battlefield without gunpowder, it is often more dangerous than the real battlefield.

"Of course it does, as we all know, you Russians are Europeans. The vast region of Siberia east of the Ural Mountains belongs to our Asian continent. Since it is the Asian continent, it naturally belongs to us Asians, and we Chinese people are authentic Asians, so if you return these areas to our Huaxia now, won't they return to their original owners? Liang Yan said with a stern face. (To be continued......)
