"Your Excellency Wu Dinh Fong, our country hopes that the boundary between the Díaz and Madero governments will be the southern boundary between the states of San Luis Potosí, Zacatecas and Nariat! The area to the north belongs to the government of Díaz, and the area to the south belongs to the government of Madero! Sherlock, the U.S. ambassador to China, pointed to a large map of Mexico.

"Your Excellency the Ambassador seems to have forgotten that these three states are now under our control. We can continue to push north if we want to! Therefore, this dividing line is unreasonable! Wu Tingfang said. Mexico is a territory that is relatively large in the north and relatively small in the south. If it were to be divided according to Ambassador Shylock's request, the Díaz government would have taken up almost half of Mexico. Don't say that Madero won't agree, and the Chinese side won't agree either!

"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, according to our calculations, if it is divided in this way, the Díaz government is only equivalent to controlling forty percent of Mexico's territory, and it is still a relatively barren part! Such a division is very reasonable! Ambassador Sherlock argued.

"Your Excellency, Ambassador, there is nothing reasonable and unreasonable! If there is to be a ceasefire, the line of actual control between the two sides should be used as the demarcation line. Otherwise, we decided not to agree! "Wu Tingfang is very tough.

Ambassador Shylock was very unhappy with this, and if the actual control line was to be used as the ceasefire line, the Díaz government would be left with the northern states of Tamaulipas, Nuevo Un-h'enlaing, Coahuila, Chihuahua and Sonora. These states, all of which are close to the U.S. border, are among the poorest in Mexico. The population of these states combined. I'm afraid there are no more than 200 people. Moreover, it is only about 260 kilometers from the nearest place to the United States, which really cannot play a role in consolidating the security of the United States.

"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, we can't agree to such conditions!" Ambassador Sherlock said.

"In that case, there is no need to negotiate, let's see victory on the battlefield!" Wu Tingfang said confidently! The squadron in Mexico has almost finished resting. Even if the additional recruits have not yet been able to arrive. But once the logistical supply lines are cleared, defeating the U.S. forces entrenched in northern Mexico should not be too much of a problem. If it weren't for the fear that after defeating the U.S. army, the U.S. would continue to increase its troops because of the threat to the U.S. army, the squadron would have attacked again!

Ambassador Sherlock was speechless. Although the U.S. forces had once again organized two armies to enter northern Mexico, they had been repeatedly defeated by the squadrons, and the Americans had little confidence in whether they could withstand the squadron's attacks. If the war breaks out again, this will not be a trivial matter for the United States!

He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. Ambassador Sherlock said: "Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, let's put this controversy aside for the time being. I need to consult my country for your request! ”

"Alright! After this question, there is only one left. Right now. We have 50,000 American prisoners of war, and the American army has less than 200 of our prisoners of war. What should be done with these prisoners of war? Wu Tingfang asked. The surrender of American generals Lieutenant General John Bates and Brigadier General Davis. Let China capture a large number of American soldiers. And these U.S. soldiers will also become an important bargaining chip for China in the negotiations!

"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang. Now that the war is over, it is natural that both of our countries should unconditionally release the prisoners of war! Ambassador Sherlock said. Although, there is a huge gap between the Chinese prisoners of war in the hands of the US military and the US prisoners of war in the hands of China. But he has apparently chosen to forget about it!

"Your Excellency, this is impossible! We have 50,000 American prisoners of war in our hands, and they want us to release them like this, which is impossible! Wu Tingfang flatly refused. In this war, China suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the pension alone required a large amount of money, plus the consumption of weapons and ammunition, which was a huge expense. Are the Chinese giants eagerly looking forward to using these prisoners of war to knock a hard blow on the Americans? If Wu Tingfang agrees to release the prisoners of war unconditionally, he will not be able to deal with the military giants!

"What does the Chinese mean?" Sherlock asked. He had already guessed that it would certainly not be so easy for the Chinese side to agree to the US demands. And the greed of the Chinese is also well-known in the world. It is almost impossible for the United States to get the prisoners of war back if they do not pay a certain price!

"The American prisoners of war in our hands, your country needs to redeem them with money! The price is not expensive, 1,000 yuan for a prisoner of war. Traces of 54.3 million Chinese dollars! Wu Tingfang said.

"So expensive? Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, your country is opening its mouth widely! Ambassador Sherlock jumped at once. This is already equivalent to half a year's fiscal revenue of the United States.

"It's not expensive at all! Your Excellency, your country can only pay us 50 million Chinese dollars, but all the prisoners of war of our army captured by your country must also be returned to us! Wu Tingfang said.

"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, this price is too expensive, we can pay your country at most 10 million Chinese dollars to redeem these prisoners of war!" Sherlock said. The price of 10 million Chinese dollars is still within the acceptable range of the United States. The current economic growth rate of the United States is not inferior to that of China. And, thanks to its strong industrial strength, the United States is more than twice as much as China in terms of per capita GDP!

"No, 10 million is too little!" Wu Tingfang shook his head and said. Now, as if possessed by a petty businessman, he, as if possessed by a petty businessman, bargained with Sherlock.

In the end, the two sides agreed on a price that everyone was satisfied with. The U.S. government used 25 million Chinese dollars to redeem prisoners of war who were not captured by China. It's just that this is just a condition that they have negotiated. Whether it can be approved by the governments of both sides is difficult to say.

After that, Sherlock immediately contacted China and reported the conditions of the Chinese to the White House. Wu Tingfang also reported the results of the negotiations and reported to Wang Yuze!

On the morning of March 20, Ng Dinh Fong and Sherlock met again, and the two sides once again held a new round of negotiations on the terms of the ceasefire. In the end, under Wu Tingfang's strong demands, the United States still accepted the conditions put forward by the Chinese side in its entirety. After that, the two sides signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Peace between China and the United States and Mexico. The "Memorandum" stipulates that from now on, China and the United States will cease a military conflict in northern Mexico. Mexico will also return to peace. The United States recognizes the Madero government as the legitimate government of Mexico. China has also recognized the establishment of autonomous governments in the northern Mexican states of Tamaulipas, Nuevo Enlaing, Coahuila, Chihuahua and Sonora. De jure speaking, Díaz's self-government belongs to Mexico. It's just that they have a high degree of autonomy. Whether military, diplomatic, or financial, the autonomous government of Díaz is free to decide. In effect, this is the division of Mexico between China and the United States, ruled by Madero and Dias. However, Madero ruled most of Mexico, while Díaz ruled only a small part. The significance of the Díaz government's existence is nothing more than a buffer zone between China and the United States. The United States can deploy a large number of troops in northern Mexico to ensure the safety of American soil!

China and the United States reached an agreement without consulting the Mexican government. It was only after the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding that the two countries sent notes to Madero and Díaz, respectively.

Both Madero and Díaz were very dissatisfied with this. Madero is the self-proclaimed new president of Mexico, and if the country were to be divided, it would be a huge blow to him. Therefore, he proposed to the Chinese side that he would not recognize the government of Díaz and hoped that the Chinese side would help the Mexican government to subjugate the northern territories.

However, the Chinese side said it refused. He also said that if the Madero government wants to recover the territory in the north, the Chinese side can not interfere, but it will definitely not send troops to help them.

The Chinese side refused to help, and the Madero government naturally had no ability to recover the territory in the north. The strength of the new Mexican government forces has been fully demonstrated in this battle. The United States has deployed more than 100,000 troops in northern Mexico, and without China's help, even if the Madero government invests all its troops, it will not be able to recover the territory in the north. Therefore, after the Madero government protested again, it could only pinch its nose and admit it.

However, the Chinese side has also compensated the Madero government elsewhere. After all, in the future war against the United States, China will need Mexico's cooperation. Mexico's cooperation is also needed. The Chinese sent an army to help the new Mexican government forces reclaim the southern states that were still controlled by Diaz's henchmen, while also strengthening the Madero government's rule over the areas. In this way, the Madero government can be regarded as unifying Mexico in front of it, and it will no longer make trouble!

Díaz is also very aggrieved, he is a dictatorial president who has ruled Mexico for more than 20 years! Now that there are only five states left, or the most barren state, how can he accept this? At the beginning, he wholeheartedly wanted to hug the thigh of the United States, and refused to be courted by China, but he didn't expect to fall into this step! However, Díaz knows that even the United States cannot defeat China, and if he wants to become the president of Mexico again, it is impossible for him!
