On the evening of July 5, Wang Yan came to the office of Lin Daxin, the governor's mansion, and said with a smile after seeing Lin Daxin: "Daxin, the envoys of eight countries to the Qing Dynasty have arranged to stay in the Shenyang Hotel, and they have asked us to stop the military operation immediately. ”

Lin Daxin smiled and said, "How is it?" What did they say after listening? ”

Wang Yan said with a smile: "What else can I say, I want to laugh when I see their aggrieved look, the envoys of 8 countries to the Qing Dynasty hope to start armistice negotiations tomorrow, I thought about it and agreed to them." ”

Lin Daxin said proudly: "Now they are begging us to negotiate, we don't have to think about what their opinions are, and the offensive on the battlefield cannot be stopped, the French Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, this time I am ready to take it." Russia will not attack west of the Ob River for the time being, but there are still many places between the Ob River and the Yenisei River that have not been captured and must be taken, and there are many remnants of Russian power in Kazakhstan that need to be cleared. ”

Wang Yan continued: "It would be better if we could get what we wanted at the negotiating table. ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said, "Then it's up to you, cousin, this time we must take a bite on the body of the Eight-Nation Alliance." ”

Wang Yan rubbed his hands and said: "Tomorrow, we will talk to the Eight-Nation Alliance according to the conditions we have discussed, hehe, don't let these eight countries bleed heavily." We will not sign an armistice. ”

Lin Daxin had already discussed with Wang Yan and others the terms of the armistice, as well as the final bottom line. The main thing is that Lin Daxin made his own decision, and these foreigners always say that they are greedy. This time, my appetite is small, and I can't resist the two words greed.

Early the next morning, before 8 o'clock, the envoys of the eight countries to the Qing Dynasty, who were the negotiators, hurriedly ate breakfast in the Shenyang Hotel and then came to the government affairs center building in Shenyang, where the armistice negotiations would be held.

Several of the envoys of the eight countries to the Qing Dynasty were very anxious and hoped to reach an armistice as soon as possible, and the British feared that the Dingbei Army would attack India. The French were worried that the Dingbei Army would swallow up France's Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, and the Japanese also hoped to end the war and not let the Dingbei Army land on the Japanese mainland.

Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary saw the current situation of the war, and also knew that there was no chance of winning the war, and they also hoped to end the war, but their territory was still far from Lin Daxin's control area, but they were not as anxious as a few other countries that could feel the pain.

The Russian envoy to the Qing Dynasty was among the negotiators. It is relatively unusual, although Russia has let the Dingbei Army lose millions of square kilometers of land, but Tsar Nicholas II is unwilling to stop the war, and the Russian minister to the Qing Dynasty, Melkoshakin, received an order from Nicholas II. Unless the Dingbei Army withdrew from the Russian lands occupied in this war, Russia would not have signed the armistice agreement if it said that it would die.

Tsar Nicholas II is determined to fight Lin Daxin to the end this time, and it must not be like the last war. Let Lin Daxin blackmail more than 5 million square kilometers of Russian land at once, and it is according to the land area that the Dingbei Army currently occupies in Russia. It's more than 5 million square kilometers, and it's about to reach 10 million square kilometers. Russia will never give up such a large area of land to Lin Daxin again.

Melkoshagin knew that it would be impossible for the Dingbei Army to return the occupied Russian land to Russia, so he began to think about how to make this armistice negotiation come to an end, so that the rest of Europe would not be able to continue to fight side by side with Russia.

In the conference room on the third floor of the government affairs center, the negotiators of the Eight-Nation Alliance, Wang Yan, Wu Peifu and others sat on both sides of a large conference table, and then Wang Yan asked his own negotiators to give Lin Daxin and the eight ministers in the Qing Dynasty opposite the text that they had discussed the terms of the armistice.

"Impossible! You guys are blackmailing! We, the Russian Empire, will never agree to your terms! After reading the armistice conditions that Lin Daxin had studied, the Russian envoy to the Qing Dynasty, Melkoshakin, immediately said angrily.

However, seeing Lin Daxin's harsh armistice conditions, Melkoshakin felt that he could mess up this armistice negotiation.

After reading this armistice condition, the British minister to the Qing Dynasty, Ogna, frowned almost together, Lin Daxin really lived up to the name of greed, this is not just a simple matter of peeling a layer of skin on the eight-nation alliance, it is simply to suck the bone marrow, Ogna coughed and said: "Mr. Wang, General Wu, are the conditions you gave too harsh, according to your conditions, our eight-nation alliance will never agree to sign such an armistice agreement." ”

The French envoy to the Qing Dynasty, Bi Sheng, shook his head like a rattle and said loudly: "We, France, will never give you Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia." ”

The Japanese envoy to the Qing Dynasty, Komura Shoutaro, said with a pale face: "We, the Japanese Empire, would rather 50 million subjects be broken together than agree to such conditions." ”

The German Minister to the Qing Dynasty, the German Minister to the Qing Dynasty, the Italian Minister to the Qing Dynasty, the Italian Minister to the Qing Dynasty, the American Minister to the Qing Dynasty, Fidnall, and the Austro-Hungarian Minister to the Qing Dynasty, Neubor, also had a very bad face at this time.

The main content of this armistice condition is that the eight countries of the Eight-Nation Alliance are the main culprits who provoked this war, and must bear full responsibility for this war, and must compensate the forces under Lin Daxin and the Qing Dynasty, and the compensation includes the cession of land and war reparations.

Lin Daxin's armistice conditions listed each country of the Eight-Nation Alliance separately, like Russia, a bad neighbor to the north, Lin Daxin demanded that Russia cede its entire Asian territory to himself, that is, the entire Siberian region east of the Ural Mountains, and the entire Kazakhstan region east of the Ural River. Including Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan, the entire area is more than 11 million square kilometers.

In addition, Lin Daxin also demanded that Russia pay him 100 million pounds in war reparations. Such harsh conditions are completely a lion's mouth. Not to mention whether Russia can take out 100 million pounds sterling, even if Russia cedes nearly two-thirds of the land, the Russians cannot accept it, no wonder the Russian minister to the Qing Dynasty, Melkoshakin, jumped like thunder, looking like he was about to jump on the table.

The terms of the armistice were also very harsh on the British, demanding that the British return the concessions of Hong Kong and Shanghai, which were occupied by the Dingbei Army, and the British pinched their noses and accepted it, in addition to asking the British to cede Malaysia, Singapore, Penang and Malacca. Now these territories are occupied by the Dingbei Army, and the British can admit it if they endure it, but they still have to let the British cede Burma and Australia, which makes the British stop doing it, especially Australia, which can no longer be regarded as a British colony, how can it be ceded to Lin Daxin.

In 1901, Australia had established a federal state, which was an independent country in the British Commonwealth, how could Britain give Australia to Lin Daxin. What does this make other Commonwealth countries think!

Moreover, Lin Daxin asked the British to pay 300 million pounds in war reparations, and the British would never agree to it, and more than 100 dreadnought battleships could be built for 300 million pounds.

The terms of the armistice were also harsh enough for France, and there was no problem in returning the French Concession in Shanghai to Lin Daxin. However, Lin Daxin's armistice conditions allowed France to cede Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia to him, and pay another 200 million pounds in war reparations. The anger was not much less than that of the Russian minister to the Qing Dynasty, Melkoshakin.

As for Japan, they were asked to cede the islands of Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and pay 100 million pounds in war reparations. Japan must also control the size of its army and the displacement of its navy warships, none of which Japan can agree to.

Lin Daxin also demanded that the United States cede Hawaii Island and its affiliated islands. £100 million in compensation. Germany was required to cede German New Guinea and a large number of surrounding German islands, and the amount of compensation was also 100 million pounds.

Italy and Austria-Hungary, Lin Daxin did not let them cede any land or colonies, but let the two countries pay 100 million pounds each, and it would cost the two countries their lives.

Wang Yan looked at the envoys of the eight countries in the Qing Dynasty and pouted and said: "Gentlemen, you have to make it clear, it's not us begging you to negotiate, if you feel that the conditions are too harsh, you can go back to Beijing City, we will take these demands of ours, we will take them by the Northern Army and the Northeast Navy themselves." ”

When the Russian envoy to the Qing Dynasty, Melkoshakin, heard this, he immediately got up from his chair and said loudly: "We, the Eight-Nation Alliance, will never agree to your blackmail conditions, let's go!" Get out of here! ”

When Wu Peifu heard Melkoshakin's words, he slapped the table with his hand and said loudly: "We didn't invite you to come again, we don't want to negotiate, hurry up and get out of Shenyang City, and see if you countries can hold on if you continue to fight!" ”

At this time, the British Minister Ogner and the French Minister Bi Sheng, who were sitting next to Melkoshakin, dragged Melkoshagin, and Ogner said: "Minister Merkoshakin, calm down, we are here to seek peace, and we can talk about differences if there are differences!" ”

Bi Sheng also said: "Minister Melkoshakin, since we have arrived here, it is impossible to go back like this. ”

In fact, Melkoshakin wished that the negotiations would end unhappily, so that several European countries could continue to support Russia in the fight until Russia achieved a great turnaround, which was also what Tsar Nicholas II of Russia wanted.

Melkoshakin angrily said to the two ministers beside him: "The conditions they gave are too harsh, I think they are insincere, we are wasting time here, it is better to return to Beijing, send a telegram to their respective countries, let us carry out a comprehensive mobilization of all countries in the Eight-Nation Alliance, and resist these Qing Dynasty people to the end." ”

The ministers of several countries frowned, fully mobilized, it is easy to say, in that case, all countries will fall into an abyss-like war, after all, the Dingbei Army has the advantage of aircraft and millions of elite troops, and the Northeast Navy has 13 dreadnought battleships, and the losses of various countries will increase infinitely if they continue to fight.

And the ministers of other countries understand that the Russians do not want to end the war here, but you can't hold our allies at that. We really can't fight anymore.

Melkoshakin's appeal was not supported by the envoys of the other seven countries to the Qing Dynasty, and the other seven countries did not want to continue fighting, although Lin Daxin's conditions were very harsh, but the negotiations had just begun, and they still hoped to reduce the conditions as much as possible.

In the end, Melkoshagin saw that no one was willing to leave with him, thought about it, and sat down again angrily, if he left now, as a result, the other 7 countries signed an armistice agreement with Lin Daxin, then Russia would be sad.

Seeing this situation, Wang Yan and Wu Peifu looked at each other and nodded slightly, and then Wang Yan continued: "There are 8 countries in your eight-nation alliance, and we can talk to you separately, so that whichever country agrees with us, we can sign an armistice agreement with which country, end the state of war with this country, and restore peace with this country." ”

The ministers of the 8 countries couldn't help frowning when they heard this, this is not equivalent to the collapse of the eight-nation alliance, Melkoshakin and the Japanese minister Komura Shoutaro stood up against it almost at the same time, saying that the eight-nation alliance is a whole and should advance and retreat together, if this is negotiated separately, the most disadvantageous should be the two countries, after all, only the homeland of their two countries is facing a huge threat, and Russia has even let the Dingbei Army occupy nearly 10 million square kilometers of land.

The terms of the armistice between the two countries were the harshest and the most difficult to negotiate, after all, they ceded the land of the two countries themselves, and the land area was not small.

Lin Daxin, who opened his mouth, suddenly asked for nearly two-thirds of Russia's territory, and Japan had a total of four islands left on the mainland, and Lin Daxin asked for three big islands, and the two countries had broken out large-scale wars with Lin Daxin before, and Lin Daxin would not let them go lightly this time.

If the other six countries have negotiated and signed an armistice agreement, then only Russia and Japan will be left to face the attack of the entire Dingbei Army and the Northeast Navy under Lin Daxin, and the situation of the two countries will be even more difficult. (To be continued......)
