When Tang Shaoyi put forward the latest request from the Northeast, the entire conference room fell silent, and the officials in the Northeast had a good time, but the others were all shocked.

"You...... What did you say? Ku Man, the Russian envoy to the Qing Dynasty, thought that his ears were broken, and he didn't understand at all, or he heard Tang Shaoyi's request in disbelief, so he also deliberately glanced at his translator and asked him to relay Tang Shaoyi's words.

"Ambassador Kuman, I think you heard me right! Our demand is to redraw the border between the two countries in the north with the current de facto control line as the border, and at the same time you must return the Central Asian territories that were extorted from the Qing Dynasty, and finally you must pay us 350 million pounds in war reparations for the crimes of years of war! ”

Tang Shaoyi, who repeated his words on one side, was at ease, but the other people present, not to mention the ministers of those European countries, were Zeng Jize, the representative of the Qing court, now felt that the young man in front of him was crazy!

"Oh God, these people are the devil!" The French minister, Suar, muttered a little sluggishly.

The British minister Walson did not expect that the Northeast would be so open-mouthed, and the eastern territories of Russia would be occupied, but the return of Central Asia and the war reparations of 350 million pounds was obviously far beyond his expectations.

And the most important reason for everyone present to feel deceived is that Tang Shaoyi's statement today is not the position of the first day of talks in Northeast China. At that time, the argument was only to demand that the actual line of control in the northern theater be used as the boundary to demarcate the border between the two countries, and that the war reparations demanded afterwards were only 50 million pounds. Unexpectedly, after the first meeting reached a deadlock, the renegotiation of Northeast Africa did not reduce its own demands so that the negotiations could proceed in a compromise, but instead did the opposite, not only putting forward new territorial claims, but also increasing the original war reparations by seven times.

"Mr. Tang, I doubt the sincerity of your peace talks." Kuman did not slap the table and leave, because the official Russian negotiators, the old imperial uncle, Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolavich, and his son Nikolai Jr. had already arrived in India, and it was estimated that he would reach the Northeast in half a month. And if there is no progress on their own side, the situation of the two royals will be extremely awkward, and they may not even be able to land in the northeast.

"Oh? Is it excessive? Tang Shaoyi leaned back comfortably on the back of the leather chair, her body seemed very relaxed at this moment, and the corners of her mouth smiled slightly, "Why don't I feel it?" ”

Sual said at this time: "Mr. Tang, your actions will only increase the sense of distrust between the two sides, and will not help the development of peace talks in the slightest. If the negotiations break down in the end, you will take full responsibility, and I think all of you here can see that. Although he attended the meeting as an ally of the Russians, Suar had lost his previous morale. Tang Shaoyi and the others may be very young, but they don't know that they can make the other party succumb by shouting a few words. So now he is starting to change his tactics, more in the hope of pushing the Northeast into the opposite side of the Western world.

"Not really, Mr. Suar!" The deputy negotiator of the Northeast, who had not spoken on the side, Xing Yu spoke. "This is just a preliminary negotiation, the Russian side puts forward the Russian side's demand, our side puts forward our demand, and then how to decide, whether it is peace or war, the two sides are jointly deciding. If the Russian side asks for it, if the Russian side thinks that there is no sincerity in negotiating peace, it doesn't matter, let the army see the truth on the battlefield. ”

Tang Shaoyi took over the conversation and said, "Our husband once said that if you come out to mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back." At the beginning, the Russian side took advantage of the danger of others to seize our territory, but then it did not repent and continued to create incidents in China's northeast, openly crossing the Heilongjiang River to steal gold mines, and driving and injuring China's border people. Its sins are too numerous to mention, and its methods are outrageous! Today, we are making the above demand in order to punish Russia's aggressive acts, and only in this way can justice be demonstrated and the people's grievances that have accumulated in the northeast of our country for many years can be appeased. ”

After listening to the Northeast's statement, the whole conference room began to discuss, and the expressions and expressions of the envoys of various countries were different. Japan's meeting was attended by Foreign Minister Shigenobu Okuma, who is still in good spirits at the age of nearly 50. He was invited by the Russian and French ministers to witness the meeting. These three parties can also be regarded as traditional friendship, huddling together for warmth, and under the pressure of the Northeast, Japan is trembling. Although Russia and France have promised in every possible way, they have not achieved the goal of containing the northeast. The main reason for this is that the Japanese Navy is currently in the coastal defense type, and under the strong pressure of the Northeast Navy, it is not enough to protect itself, let alone help Russia contain the initiative of the Northeast forces.

Today, Japan still has close relations with France and Russia, but in fact it is completely embraced by the British. The cooperation between the two sides was very warm, with Britain building warships for Japan, training them for naval personnel, and providing aid and loans to Japan to help them develop their industries and economies. Of course, Japan can be regarded as returning the favor by opening up its own domestic market, and at the same time being willing to be a British gatedog.

Shigenobu Okuma listened to the translator's words in shock, even if the campaign to abolish the extrajudicial rule of Westerners was being carried out in Japan, he never dreamed that the officials of the Tohoku Autonomous Region would dare to give Westerners such a faceless. But thinking about it now, the Northeast seems to have such strength, no wonder His Majesty the Emperor often can't sleep at night, this is not unfounded, but the most real helplessness.

"It would be nice if there was a chance to meet with senior officials in the Northeast, Wang Yi would not have to think about it, and Prime Minister Yang Qiuxing may not be possible, but Foreign Minister Zhao Liewen may still be very possible." Okuma's confidence was boiling, and he didn't know why he had a sense of honor when he saw Tang Shaoyi and others suppressing the appearance of the Russian minister Kuman.

Although there were many delegates from various countries who attended the meeting, they also had their own agendas. Some are happy to see the excitement, and some are secretly happy, even like Spain, the Netherlands and Portugal, because they have a large number of islands in Southeast Asia, so in the face of the aggressive table in the Northeast, they also think of themselves when they see Russia today, so it is inevitable that they have a trace of sadness and sadness.

However, while the room was in the midst of a lot of noise, Gustave Moignière, the secretary general of the Red Cross, who had only met privately with the Northeast, suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Gentlemen, I think you have both finished expressing your positions. I would like to give me a chance to speak here as well! ”
