"Third, the U.S. Navy will not be allowed to deploy large surface warships on the West Coast in the future." Wang Yuze continued. Before the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet annihilated the U.S. Navy's West Coast Fleet, the U.S. Navy deployed all its capital ships to the West Coast Fleet, and more than half of its surface warships were deployed on the West Coast, which was obviously aimed at China. Therefore, Wang Yuze put forward this request in order to reduce the threat of the US Navy to the Pacific region. Of course, if the United States agrees to cede California to China, there will not be many suitable naval bases for the United States on the West Coast. It's just that it's almost impossible to get the United States to agree to cede California. The third requirement is almost a replacement for the second requirement.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang nodded, he had already understood Wang Yuze's request. If the American side agrees to the second demand, then, the third point, can be dispensed with. If the United States is resolute, it can make a third demand.

"Fourth, the United States will withdraw from the Pacific Alliance on the same day and will no longer interfere in the ongoing wars of China and several other countries!" Wang Yuze continued. If the United States wants to get out of the way early, China can put its excess energy elsewhere. China has won a decisive victory with one enemy against five, but it is still very difficult.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Are there any other requirements? Foreign Minister Ng Dinh Fong asked.

"No, that's all there is to it, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will look at the other specific provisions!" Wang Yuze said.

"Okay, Your Majesty. The Japanese envoy also came with Sherlock, the former US minister to China. In terms of dealing with the Japanese minister. Is there anything the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should pay attention to? Wu Tingfang asked.

"I don't have specific requirements. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will arrange it according to the situation! But. Remember, there is never a compromise between us and Japan. This time the Japanese themselves sent their faces up to us to beat, so let's teach them a good lesson! Wang Yuze said with a smile.

"Yes, Majesty, I see!" Wu Tingfang said. He understood what Wang Yuze meant, since the Japanese wanted peace talks, then talk to them. But. The terms of the armistice proposed by the Chinese side were not acceptable to the Japanese. Wu Tingfang was ready, and when he returned, he immediately summoned the people of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to formulate a more stringent armistice condition, so that those Japanese would retreat in the face of difficulties.

On the Yellow Sea, a merchant ship is sailing at a speed of ten knots. The merchant ship came from Japan, but it was flying the American flag. It was a ship left by the U.S. government on behalf of the U.S. Minister to Japan. Only this time, Sherlock is going to China. So the ship was temporarily requisitioned. As they left Tokyo Bay, they were intercepted by a patrolling Chinese Navy destroyer. If it weren't for Sherlock's timely identification. And the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also proved their identity and permission to go to China in time, I am afraid that they would have been sunk a long time ago, but even so, Sherlock felt scared for a while. Once upon a time, the seas of the Far East were still a place for countries to show off their might. But now, it has become the territory of the Chinese navy. All ships passing through the waters are monitored by the Chinese navy.

Sherlock, the former U.S. minister to China, stood on the side of the ship, looking at the endless sea, and should have been in a comfortable mood, but at this moment, his face was gloomy as if he could drip water. It is now June 25th, and it is expected that the merchant ships will arrive at the Tianjin Dagu terminal on the afternoon of June 28th. Then take the train to Beijing. He is expected to be able to formally meet with Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang on June 29.

"Oh God! None of the world's five great powers combined can defeat China, is China's rise inevitable? Sherlock, the former U.S. minister to China, muttered. Received to let him rush to China ahead of schedule, for Secretary of State John? After Sherman stood up and listened to the orders of the Chinese on the terms of the armistice, he felt bitter in his heart. I think that when they left Beijing, their cousins were so invincible, arrogantly telling the Chinese side that they would definitely return to Beijing, and would return to Beijing with a higher profile, so that the Chinese would know that they had offended them badly. But what about now? In just a few months, the tide of the war has changed dramatically. The Chinese have won decisive victories on all battlefields. For all countries, making peace with China and ending the war has become the best option.

It's just that Sherlock knows his mission. The navy has been wiped out, and the current United States will not be able to resist China's attack at all, and once China launches a landing operation on the US mainland, it will be a huge disaster for the United States. Therefore, his task is to prevent the catastrophe from happening.

"Your Excellency Minister Sherlock, what do you think of this trip to Beijing?" A small, somewhat stocky middle-aged Japanese man appeared next to Sherlock and asked. He was Taro Kawaguchi, a former Japanese minister to China sent to China. Because now all ships flying the Japanese flag will become targets for the Chinese Navy. That's why he had to go to China with Sherlock.

"What can you think? This time, we are all going to make a peace. On the battlefield, the Chinese defeated all the hostile countries and won a decisive victory. They will then be able to negotiate and get what they want! Minister Sherlock said helplessly. However, he looked at Taro Kawaguchi's eyes with some disdain. People all over the world know that there are irreconcilable contradictions between China and Japan. The young emperor of China, in particular, had always been very hostile to Japan. If other countries can get out, then Japan will probably have a very difficult time.

"Your Excellency Minister Sherlock, Japan and the United States are allies, and I think we should be consistent and unite to put pressure on the Chinese. In this way, we may be able to effectively reduce our losses! Taro Kawaguchi, former Japanese minister to China, said.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Kawaguchi, but I'm just going to do it for Secretary of State, John? His Excellency Sherman just stood at the front. Specific matters still need to be decided by His Excellency the Secretary of State! I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I'm out of company! Sherlock then turned away and returned to his cabin. After leaving China, he went to Tokyo, and he knew the current situation in Japan very well. The Japanese were apparently forced to look for allies everywhere in an attempt to resist Chinese pressure. However, it seems that it is too late now, and the Chinese are clearly ready to destroy Japan. Therefore, other countries will no longer offend China for the sake of Japan. The interests of one's own country are the most important, and as for the Japanese, no one cares whether they live or die. In the past, everyone formed an alliance to jointly confront China. But now it turns out that this path is not going to work. Then, there is no need for the so-called alliance to exist.

"Yaga!" Taro Kawaguchi looked at Sherlock's departing back and cursed secretly. However, for this mission to Beijing, he has no bottom at all. Even if China agrees to let Japan go, it will certainly put forward even harsher conditions than the last time. Prime Minister Aritomo Yamaguchi wants to end the war at the cost of a smile, which in his opinion is simply impossible.

At one o'clock in the afternoon of June 28, the merchant ship docked at the Dagu Wharf in Tianjin. Sherlock, the former U.S. minister to China, and Taro Kawaguchi, the former Japanese minister to China, were received by the staff sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who were already waiting, and boarded the train from Tianjin to Beijing.

At 6 p.m., the group arrived in Beijing. Sherlock and Taro Kawaguchi were placed in the reception hotel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The embassies of the two countries in China have been sealed. If you want to open the museum, you'll have to wait until after the war is over.

Originally, Sherlock and Taro Kawaguchi wanted to visit Foreign Minister Ng Dinh Fong overnight, but they were refused. Lord Wu Tingfang is very busy now, where does he have so much time to meet them. There was no way, the two had to go through formal channels.

The next morning, Sherlock was ruled, and Foreign Minister Ng Dinh Fong would receive him at 10 o'clock. So, Sherlock went to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs early in the morning. It's just that he still waited until half past ten before Wu Tingfang met him. This annoyed Sherlock a little, but he had no choice but to endure it!

"Your Excellency Sherlock, welcome to China once again!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile.

"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, you must be very clear about my intentions. Personally, I deeply regret the war that the United States and China are waging now. Countless young people have died in the war, and it has also had a severe impact on the economies of our two countries. So, the task of our government, it's time to end this war! Sherlock said with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency Sherlock, stop the war with your country, I also agree with this very much! However, the war has caused great damage to our country, and if we want to stop it, your country must agree to some conditions! Wu Tingfang said.

"What conditions? Your Excellency Ng Dinh Fong, please speak. If it is reasonable, our government will consider it at its discretion! Sherlock replied that he knew that if the United States sued for peace with China, China would definitely take the opportunity to extort a sum of money, and the United States had been prepared for this for a long time.

"This is the specific condition, you can take a look at it first!" Wu Tingfang handed a copy of the text to Sherlock.

Sherlock took it, but then, his face turned red.

"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, the United States has not yet been defeated! You completely regard the United States as a defeated country! Sherlock's voice exuded irrepressible anger! (To be continued.) )
