Early the next morning, Li Yongji, who was eating breakfast, saw Pu Anchen again, although he had not yet received an exact answer from the other party, but looking at the other party's red eyes and blue face, Li Yongji knew that this guy had agreed to his conditions eight or nine times out of ten.

It is not difficult to speculate that if the other party refuses, then now it must be with a high chin and a tough attitude, since the other party has not done this now, but has a blue face, it means that the other party has succumbed.

Sure enough, after seeing Li Yongji, Pu Anchen ignored Li Yongji's invitation to dine, and just nodded twilightly: "You win, I promise you the conditions, if possible, we can sign an armistice treaty now." ”

"A wise choice." Li Yongji nodded with a smile, "So, can your current decision represent the United States of America?" ”

"Of course." Pu Anchen said expressionlessly, "I am the special envoy for the plenipotentiary negotiations of the United States of America, and before I came, I have obtained a joint mandate from the President of the United States of America and the Congress, and the decision I make is the decision of the United States of America. But, on the flip side, can you represent the Chinese Empire? ”

"Absolutely." Li Yongji nodded.

"But that's not what you said before." Pu Anchen mocked, "You told me before that you are just a general and have no authority to make substantive decisions in diplomacy. ”

"Yes, I'm really just a general, and I can't make my own decisions." Li Yongji smiled and said, "But before I came, I had already been authorized, and as long as it didn't go against the foreign policy above, I had the right to make decisions." In other words, I just don't have the authority to make concessions, but it's okay to maintain the original demands, or even increase them. ”

"Okay." Pu Anchen sighed. "Let's stop this kind of verbal advantage, it won't work anyway, let's sign an armistice as much as possible, so that this damn war can stop as soon as possible."

"Why don't you eat something before you sign it?"

"No, I'm not in the mood to eat." Pu Anchen shook his head, "It's better to sign the contract as soon as possible, and then talk about the rest." ”

"Good." Li Yongji nodded, snapped his fingers, and immediately after, Soho took a truce agreement that had been prepared a long time ago. All agreements are printed in both English and Chinese.

Seeing this armistice agreement that had been sorted out and packaged by Wen Jiàn, Li Yongji took a brief look at it, and pushed Wen Jiàn bag to Pu Anchen: "Mr. Special Envoy, this is the armistice agreement we have prepared, you can take a look, if you have no opinions, we can sign it." ”

Pu Anchen took this armistice agreement smoothly, opened it, and found that it had already listed a detailed armistice agreement in print. And its content is really extremely harsh.

Except for some detailed notes, this armistice agreement is simply divided into five articles:

Article 1. The U.S. government must publicly apologize to the Chinese victims of the 926 incident and pay financial compensation to the families of the victims at the rate of 100,000 yuan per person.

Second, the U.S. government agreed to put the Washington area, Oregon. Northern parts of Alta California, the New Mexico region, Tamareulipas, Coahuila, and Sonora, as well as the Idaho region, the Colorado region, and more. A total of 3 million square kilometers of land was ceded to the Chinese Empire.

Third, the US Government needs to compensate the Chinese Government for its military expenditure of 30 million Chinese yuan, which can be repaid in 30 years with a loan from the China CITIC Bank as collateral against the US customs tariff.

Fourth, the Chinese Empire will be given one-sided most-favored-nation treatment, and in the future, goods imported by the United States into China, regardless of the kind of product, will be exempted from any import taxes for a period of 30 years. At the same time, during the period of suspension in the United States, if Chinese violate the local laws of the United States, they are not subject to the local laws of the United States, and must be handed over to the nearest Chinese embassy or consulate in the United States, extradited back to China, and then handed over to the Chinese judicial organs for handling, in other words, Chinese enjoy consular jurisdiction in the United States.

Article 5 The Empire of China and the United States of America shall implement a complete cease-fire between the two sides from the date of the signing of the treaty, and neither side shall attack the other without permission for any reason, otherwise it will be regarded as a breach of the treaty and will be re-entered into a state of war.

Obviously, these five conditions are a one-sided unequal treaty for the United States, and not to mention the issue of military compensation and consular jurisdiction, a policy of ceding 3 million square kilometers of land alone is a completely humiliating and predatory treaty.

It is conceivable that once the United States signs this treaty, it will not only lose its vitality and its international status will plummet, but China will take advantage of this unequal treaty to become a real superpower, and even surpass Russia to become the largest country in the world.

Seeing this, Pu Anchen's face turned red, and he finally slammed this article on the table with a snap, and roared at Li Yongji, who was drinking tea leisurely: "It's too much, it's really too much!" You're just getting an inch! No, I categorically cannot agree to sign this agreement. ”

"Oh?" Li Yongji raised his eyelids and said with a smile, "Mr. Special Envoy, what's wrong with you?" Didn't you say it was good just now, and you had to sign a contract with us in a hurry, and you didn't even eat breakfast, why did you change your mind now? ”

"That's because your conditions are different from what you said!" Pu Anchen said loudly.

"Oh, you mean consular jurisdiction, most-favored-nation status, and military reparations." Li Yongji smiled and said, "Actually, this is the proper meaning, I didn't tell you before, because I think this content is not worth mentioning compared to land cession." Well, of course, I can get rid of all that mess, but at the trade-off, we're probably going to have to go straight to the Mississippi River...... Do you think that is the better condition? ”

Anson clenched his fists and wanted to continue to get angry, but he soon realized that in this situation, anger would not help at all, and would even have the opposite effect.

In addition, even if Pu Anchen wanted to beat the other party regardless of it, he couldn't get angry, not to mention that the Chinese general's physique was far burlier than himself, and that the guards around him who were eyeing him were not something that Pu Anchen could deal with.

What's more, once this odious commander is really beaten, it is likely that there will be no room for turn, and the United States of America will have to continue to bear the wrath of the Chinese and fight the Chinese again. That would be a complete disaster for the United States.

"It's not what I said at the beginning." Pu Anchen slowed down his tone, "It's okay to apologize publicly, and it's okay to give financial compensation to the victims, but we can't agree to one-sided most-favored-nation treatment, consular jurisdiction, and compensation for military expenses."

Also, in terms of territory, we can only agree to give you the land that was taken from Mexico in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, but in other places, such as Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, and Idaho. None of them belong to that treaty, which is the inherent land of our United States of America, and cannot be counted in it. ”

It should be said here that the places that Puanchen mentioned cannot be counted in are indeed debatable, and they are indeed not territories in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

Among them, Oregon and California have already joined the federal government, becoming the 33rd and 31st states of the U.S. government, respectively. Legally, it is a core territory of the United States.

In other places, this is not the case, and can only be regarded as a colony of the United States.

For example, the Washington area. It was the state of Washington, which had been vague in terms of tenure since the establishment of the colony in 1853 and had not really joined the Union. Becoming a full-fledged state of the Union is just a colony of the United States in terms of legal status. Not a core territory in the legal sense of the United States.

The same is true of Idaho, which is not the same as Idaho, but rather a regional concept that includes a large amount of land in later generations, such as Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, and almost all of the land around the Rocky Mountains. However, despite the fact that the place is large, but deserted, there are only a few colonial settlements, not even American colonies except for geographical concepts.

In other words, the so-called Idaho region of the United States at this time was only a colony declared by the United States itself, and it had no substantive legal effect. Not to mention that there are still many indigenous people in the country, even in the international arena, this place cannot be regarded as a place in the United States, but a place where anyone can claim sovereignty, and the key depends on whose immigration strength or control is stronger.

This is the same as the battle for colonization points in some later games, the key is to see who has stronger colonization, who has stronger colonization and stronger control, and who can finally win the colonial victory and eventually become their own core state.

In the same way, the same is true of the Colorado region, although there have already been American colonial settlements here, but it is not an official member state of the United States, but only a vague colony, but in terms of control, the control of Colorado is stronger than that of Idaho.

Also, the same is true for the Mexican region, which is also a regional concept, not the same concept as the later State of Mexico, the only difference is that it belongs to the United States that it grabbed from Mexico.

In other words, the land that Li Yongji is asking for now is just a colony except Oregon and California, but the difference is that Colorado and Idaho are not colonies plundered from Mexico, but colonies developed by the Americans themselves.

Puanchen's anger is that he has only admitted to giving some of the land he has seized from Mexico to the Chinese, but not in Oregon, California, Colorado and Idaho.

Having said that, once Li Yongji's territorial claim is satisfied, it will be a complete separation of the western part of the United States.

Because judging from the map, the places that Li Yongji wants are equivalent to connecting the places from Texas in the south of the United States to North Dakota in the north into a straight line running from north to south, and all the territories west of the straight line belong to China, and the territory to the east is reserved for the United States, and this part of the territory can only be regarded as half, after all, many territories in the south, such as Texas, actually belong to the Union State.

In this way, it is equivalent to cutting off the western part of the United States, and the Pacific Ocean has officially become the inland ocean of the Chinese Empire!

If it can be maintained for a hundred years and fully developed, then with the ability of the Chinese, these places can be permanently occupied and turned into China's core territory, which in the future international order, relying on territory alone, can become a truly exclusive superpower!

If it weren't for the Civil War, if it weren't for the weak control of the United States over land in the western region, if it weren't for China's strong rise, and if it weren't for Li Yongji's brazen move, then it is conceivable that once this village is over, it would be an impossible task to seize the territory of the west coast of North America and turn the Pacific Ocean into an inland ocean.

However, with the help of the civil war in the United States and Li Yongji's desperate gamble, this impossibility was made possible.

Sure enough, Pu Anchen was angry and angry, but he was forced by the form, so when he saw Li Yongji's leisurely appearance, he finally asked in a low voice: "Is there no room for negotiation?" ”

"Nope." Li Yongji shook his head, "This is the final decision, if you agree, sign it, and the two sides will immediately have a complete truce, and we can even resume normal trade with you."

If you don't agree, then don't sign it, but you have to leave early, because in the next few days, I will soon launch a new wave of eastern offensive against you, and it is not appropriate for you to continue to stay here. ”

"Is this a threat?" Anchen narrowed his eyes.

"Whatever you want." Li Yongji smiled, "By the way, it seems that the alliance army and the British and French forces are about to make a big move recently, preparing to join forces to launch a major attack on you aimed at completely destroying you. ”

"Completely annihilate our attack?" Pu Anchen smiled, "What is this?" Advice? Or intimidation? ”

"Advice, of course." Li Yongji said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, their plan to attack has already begun to be prepared, and they even used the name of the Four-Nation Coalition Command in New Orleans to contact my intelligence officer in New Orleans and our army's radio transmission system, asking me to join this major offensive aimed at completely destroying your United States of America."

To be honest, although I haven't given them an accurate answer, this offensive is imperative, in my opinion, it will be very difficult for you to deal with the British and French forces and the alliance forces, if you add us, hehe, it is really difficult for you to pass this time, one is not good, and you may really be destroyed.

Therefore, this is the last chance I give you, either you will sign this treaty with me, which is indeed unfair to you, but you will win our unilateral strike and remove us as an enemy; Either that, you're going to be gone, but then you're going to face a massive joint attack from all three of us, and believe me, the scale of this offensive will be unprecedented, and you won't be able to cope with it.

In short, I've already said what I need to say, patience, I only have today, the last day, if you can't make up your mind, I can only ask you to leave, and then officially join the big offensive that belongs to the last battle for you, how to choose, it's up to you. ”

"Okay, I see." Pu Anchen picked up the agreement again with a heavy expression, "I will sign it, but you will definitely regret it."

Because, with the signing of this treaty, you can only win a powerful enemy who has hated you for generations, but you cannot get true friendship and forgiveness, and sooner or later, you will pay for it! (To be continued......)
