Chapter 126: The Empire's Bendts
The Russians killed each other and Wu Xiaoliang was happy to see it, but since he had caught up with this good show, how could he stay out of it and waste this great opportunity in vain.
"Your Excellency, I regret the suffering of your people, but if we, as foreigners, interfere in your internal affairs, how can I, a small brigade commander, take this responsibility?"
Nevsky had expected that the young Chinese general would not agree to his request so happily, and shrugged his shoulders and replied: "Your Excellency, if this matter goes through diplomatic procedures, the government of your country will first send a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of your country, and then the return country will coordinate the military assistance, and by that time, the beautiful port city in front of you will be in ruins. ”
After listening to Nevsky's words, Wu Xiaoliang laughed angrily, this old guy, do you still think that this is the era of Imperial Russia, their tsar has become a prisoner of the common people, and he will even be executed in the near future, and there are no bones left. If the mighty Russian Empire still existed, how could his Suidong army run rampant east of the Suifen River? It's ridiculous that he wants to make the good men of the Suidong Army shed blood and sacrifice for the Russians with a few diplomatic words, isn't this a fool's dream? Wu Xiaoliang sneered:
"Your Excellency, I think you have mistaken the situation, the life of every soldier in the Suidong Army is priceless, even if the Beijing government, if they are asked to make senseless sacrifices, I will not hesitate to refuse, because the blood they leave behind is worthless. As for your empire, it's not even a fart now, who to scare it? After speaking, Wu Xiaoliang stared at Nevsky.
The bearded Nevsky's expression was as Wu Xiaoliang expected, revealing the embarrassment and helplessness of being exposed. In his impression, the Chinese, both officials and people, have always been as timid as rats, afraid of them like tigers, as long as they scare a few words on weekdays, they will obediently obey, at this moment he lowered his posture as much as possible, and at the same time pulled out the tiger skin of the empire, hoping to frighten these stupid Chinese, which wants to backfire, the young Chinese general in front of him almost turned his face on the spot, thinking of his purpose for coming, and thinking about the tragic situation of the people after the city was broken, and finally recognized the current situation. Although Nevsky was unwilling, he had no choice but to ask helplessly:
"Your Excellency the General, we, the Great Slavs, will not forget our friends, and we can put forward any requirements and conditions."
Nevsky was relieved on the spot, but Wu Xiaoliang was overjoyed but asked quietly:
"The conditions I can mention, can you do Petrov's Lord?"
Nevsky was angry that the damned Chinese general looked down on him, but still tried his best to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, and replied: "Your Excellency the General, Duke Petrov has granted me the authority of plenipotentiary, don't worry. ”
"Good!" Wu Xiaoliang clapped his hands and ordered the guards to bring chairs to Nevsky.
"Let's sit down and talk slowly."
Outside, I remembered the rumbling of artillery again, and the siege began again, Nevsky was frightened, where was he still in the mood to sit down and talk slowly, and hurriedly urged: "Your Excellency General, if you have any requirements, mention them now, I will agree, and I ask you to send troops as much as possible." ”
"Well, then I will tell you the requirements of the Suidong Army, first, Duke Petrov is to set aside a place in the best position in the port of Vladivostok as a leased land, and allow the troops to be stationed; second, Vladivostok should be given the right of free entry and exit of the Suidong Army; Third, half of the customs duties in Vladivostok had to be paid to the Suidong Army; Fourth, Petrov must not invade each other with the Suidong Army in the future, and make an alliance to support each other. As long as these four promises, the Suidong army will immediately send troops to help your duke counterattack. ”
Nevsky gasped when he heard this, if these four were promised, they would be able to put chains on Vladivostok, and the Chinese general in front of him would be the one who held the chains. And Wu Xiaoliang dared to put forward such a condition, but in the final analysis, the empire was overturned, and the eggs under their nests became fish and meat to be bullied by others. He was angry, not for himself, but for the former glory of the empire, which was gone forever and reduced to groveling and begging for cooperation before the stupid Chinese. Baron Nevsky finally couldn't hold back, and roared angrily:
"Your Excellency the General has put forward such harsh conditions, I doubt the sincerity of your cooperation!"
Wu Xiaoliang smiled, he knew that his language was an insult to the once high-ranking abuser, but his purpose was this, the repeated changes in the attitude of the pressuring party would quickly crush the other party's will to resist, so he waved his hand and said: "Your Excellency, please calm your anger, this is according to the conditions that your country once put forward as a model, modified and then proposed, and I have also relaxed the conditions appropriately." ”
In the face of Wu Xiaoliang's cynicism, Nevsky broke away from his anger and continued to roar "You...... Shameless! Bandit! ”
"In that case, there is no need to talk about it, Qianting will send Mr. Baron out." Wu Xiaoliang immediately made his attitude clear and made an impatient look.
Nevsky was speechless, for a moment, he really wanted to turn around and leave, to avoid the humiliation of this Chinese general, but thinking that once the guerrillas broke through the city, the pearl of the empire in the East fell into the hands of the rebels, a large number of civilians would be ravaged, and the fall of important ports would block the road of military aid from the West, and the warriors who resisted in Siberia would be short of ammunition and hungry, he shivered fiercely, reminded himself that he must hold back, and agreed to the conditions of this despicable general who took advantage of the danger in front of him, Vladivostok still has a way to live, if he walks away, hope will be completely cut off, Potemkin of Shuangchengzi is a solid coward, and he was frightened by a group of rebels and shrank his head, otherwise why would he be like this?
Nevsky steadied himself and said with difficulty: "Your Excellency General, although these conditions have fully demonstrated your magnanimity, but the poor city behind me really can't fully meet your requirements, can you see if you can relax the conditions a little more?" ”
Wu Xiaoliang originally had the idea of asking for a price to repay the money, and said with a smile: "Okay, half of the tariffs of the Suidong Army can be exempted, this is the bottom line, but in order to show sincerity, I hope that your army will convert the tariff compensation into arms and pay the Suidong Army 5 million yuan in weapons and materials at one time?" ”
"This?" Nevsky had never seen such a cunning negotiating opponent, and after giving in, he had to bite hard before he would give up, and in hesitation, the earth shook violently again, it was the naval guns, this time long and dense, and non-stop. He knew that this was not a counterattack by the defenders, but the final roar of the navy, and the defeat of the 6th Army was imminent.
