After Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary signed an armistice agreement with Lin Daxin's negotiator, Wang Yan, they were approached by five other countries in the Eight-Nation Alliance.

As the most reluctant to succeed in the negotiations, the Russian minister to the Qing Dynasty, Melkoshakin, was the first to open fire as soon as they met, but he was immediately ridiculed by the Austro-Hungarian minister to the Qing Dynasty, Neubor, who complained that the Russians had stirred up the situation in the negotiations and made no progress in the negotiations, otherwise how could Germany, Italy and Austria privately sign an armistice agreement with Lin Daxin's negotiators.

When Russian Minister Melkoshakin heard this, he was even more annoyed and said: "Aren't we Russians fighting on the basis of reason in the negotiations also for the sake of the overall interests of our eight-nation alliance?" Now that you, Germany, Italy and Austria, have abandoned their allies, is it justified? ”

The German envoy to the Qing Dynasty, Klinder, said at this time: "I feel very sorry that we Germany, Italy and Austria have privately signed an armistice agreement, but we are also forced to do so, the fleet of the Northeast Navy has arrived outside Port Moresby in our German New Guinea, if we do not immediately reach an agreement with Lin Daxin's negotiators, our German fleet and army in Moresby will face a catastrophe, after all, the Northeast Navy has three dreadnought battleships outside Port Moresby, once the Northeast Navy attacks, The ending is ruinous. ”

The British envoy to the Qing Dynasty, Ogna, sighed and said: "Then you Germany, Italy and Austria should also say hello in advance, after all, we are still allies of the Eight-Nation Alliance." ”

The Italian minister to the Qing Dynasty, Baraccio, immediately said: "I'm very sorry, we, Italy, Germany, and Austria-Hungary have decided to withdraw from the Eight-Nation Alliance, and we have signed an armistice agreement with the representatives under Lin Daxin. It no longer makes sense to be in the G-8. ”

The German Minister to the Qing Dynasty, Klinder, and the Austro-Hungarian Minister to the Qing Dynasty, Neubor, nodded affirmatively. In fact, from the moment the armistice agreement was signed, Germany, Italy and Austria had actually broken away from the eight-nation alliance. Now that's all there is to it.

Bi Sheng, the French minister to the Qing Dynasty, did not say anything on the side, but Xiao Jiujiu rose in his heart, you must know that he had also privately found Lin Daxin's negotiator, but Lin Daxin's appetite was too big, and he was ready to swallow France's Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in one fell swoop, so that his private contact was unsuccessful, but in the past few days, the offensive of the Dingbei Army in Vietnam and Laos has progressed rapidly, and the French colonial army has been defeated. It was impossible to stop the Dingbei Army's advance, and with Hanoi being captured by the Dingbei Army, the French army elite in these colonies was almost exhausted, so that Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia were not ceded to Lin Daxin by the French at the negotiating table, and the Dingbei Army could also occupy it by itself.

Moreover, the base of the French Asian colonial fleet, outside Da Nang, Vietnam, has been surrounded by the fleet of the Northeast Navy, among which several dreadnought battleships, if Da Nang had not newly installed a batch of 40 times the caliber 305 mm coastal defense guns with a range of 30,000 meters, perhaps Da Nang would have been captured by the Northeast Navy.

Worse. The Dingbei Army has approached Da Nang in the land direction, which means that Da Nang will soon become a turtle in the urn, and the final fate is basically decided, the only uncertainty is how long it can hold out under the attack of the Dingbei Army and the Northeast Navy.

Faced with such a situation. There was already some loosening in France, and since Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia would certainly not be able to keep it, could it be possible to use these colonies that were bound to be lost. To free France from the quagmire of this war, but at the moment there is no unity of opinion in France. After all, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia were finally managed by the French, and many people couldn't stand it when they let it out.

French Minister Bi Sheng considered. Now that the three countries of Germany, Italy and Austria have come to such a moment, they may also make up their minds to those people in the country, and the signing of the armistice agreement by the three countries is equivalent to completely breaking the idea that all countries want to rely on the banner of the eight-nation alliance and pay as little as possible to sign an armistice agreement, and France should now consider how to minimize its losses.

The U.S. Minister to the Qing Dynasty, Fidinall, looked at the envoys of the three countries of Germany, Italy and Austria with a look of envy, the Americans did not want to fight for a long time, and even did not want to do their best in this war at the beginning, otherwise they would not have sent only a little warship and army to participate in the war, now that the three countries of Germany, Italy and Austria have signed an armistice agreement and withdrawn from the eight-nation alliance, what else do we Americans hesitate, Fidinall decided to send a telegram to the United States immediately, and tell the affairs of the three countries of Germany, Italy and Austria. I believe that with the relationship between the United States and Lin Daxin, and the symbolic dispatch of warships and land forces by the United States this time, those representatives of Lin Daxin should not be too difficult for the United States.

In fact, Lin Daxin also specially explained to Wang Yan and Wu Peifu, for the United States can give some face, the initial condition is that the United States cedes Hawaii Island and affiliated islands, and compensates 100 million pounds, the bottom line is that the United States can lose some money, even if it loses 100,000 or 80,000 yuan, it can be seen that the initial armistice conditions are absolutely sky-high asking prices.

Japan's minister to the Qing Dynasty, Komura Shoutaro, saw that Germany, Italy and Austria had signed an armistice agreement, and his face was a little pale, and these days the eight-nation alliance and Wang Yan and others negotiated, Komura Shoutaro found that Wang Yan and others were almost not an inch in terms of the armistice between Japan and Russia, and in terms of the armistice conditions of other countries, Wang Yan and others were a little relenting, and it seems that Lin Daxin would not let go of Russia and the Japanese Empire lightly this time.

Now that Germany, Italy and Austria have signed an armistice agreement, other countries will follow Lin Daxin's negotiators to sign an armistice agreement, and as Lin Daxin's prepared to clean up Japan, it will be very difficult to sign an armistice agreement, and Lin Daxin's conditions for Japan are fundamentally unacceptable to Japan.

The British envoy to the Qing Dynasty, Ogener, saw the ministers in the room, and couldn't help but sigh that the general trend had gone, it seems that he should also consider the British, this war Britain really lost too much, not to mention the loss of warships and officers and soldiers of the navy and army, that is, the loss of so many colonies, it is enough for Britain to feel distressed for a long time, and after this war, the title of British world hegemon was also given to Lin Daxin's power, it is really a bad war that cannot be worse.

Melkoshakin, the Russian envoy to the Qing Dynasty, didn't look angry, but he was cold in his heart, Germany, Italy and Austria made such a mess, the eight-nation alliance had disintegrated, and Melkoshagin even saw that Britain and France would also succumb to Lin Daxin's force, and Lin Daxin's negotiators made contacts, made concessions, and finally signed an armistice agreement.

But what should Russia do? Without the support of these European countries, will Russia be able to hold on? As for Japan and the United States, Melkoshakin simply chose to ignore them, one was too busy to take care of himself, the other had long wanted to withdraw from the G-8 alliance, and Russia could not count on Japan and the United States.

Russia has now lost the Siberian region and the Kazakhstan region, nearly 10 million square kilometers of land, if Russia does not continue to fight, there is no hope of getting these lands back, and the more than 1 million square kilometers of land west of the Ob River and east of the Ural Mountains are also eyed by Lin Daxin, and he wants to negotiate a truce through Guò, and he does not know whether this area can be saved.

At present, Russia has made great efforts, and has gathered 1.5 million troops in this area west of the Ob River and east of the Ural Mountains, many of which are troops that have just been urgently expanded, but the Dingbei Army has that formidable aircraft, even the 1.5 million army The Russians have no bottom in their hearts, and they are still counting on those countries in Europe of the Eight-Nation Alliance to send troops to support!

As the European countries softened one after another, the situation in Russia would become very, very difficult, and Melkoshagin even doubted that His Majesty the Tsar would have the confidence to fight it.

The German minister to the Qing Dynasty, Klinder, looked at the other five ministers with different faces and said: "The task of our ministers from Germany, Italy and Austria has been completed, so I will not block you here, the three of us have discussed it, and we will leave Shenyang City today and return to Beijing, everyone take care, we will see you in Beijing City." ”

After saying that, as soon as Klinder glanced at Italy's Barracio and Austria-Hungary's Neubor, the three of them left here in a hurry, and they didn't even care about the scolding words in the mouth of the Russian minister Melkoshakin, anyway, the three countries had already signed an armistice agreement, and it didn't matter if the other five countries were angry, they didn't stay here for people to denounce.

Melkoshagin looked at the hurried figures of the ministers of Germany, Italy and Austria and said: "These bastards of the allies are really unreliable, what should we do now?" ”

The French minister, Bi Sheng, immediately said: "I have to report this matter to China, so I will leave first, and we will discuss what to do next when we have time!" After speaking, Sheng didn't wait for the others to speak, and turned around and left.

U.S. Minister Fidinor was more direct, "Since the Eight-Nation Alliance no longer exists, then we, the United States, will also negotiate separately with Lin Daxin's negotiators, everyone, I'll go first, see you later!" ”

As soon as Melkoshagin heard the words of the American Minister Fidner, he angrily scolded the Americans for not even being as good as mongrels, and the British Minister Ogna next to him sighed and patted Melkoshagin on the shoulder and said: "May God bless you Russia, since things are already like this, I think Britain will soon give me new orders, if you Russians still want to persist in this war, you can only ask for more blessings." ”

Melkoshakin suddenly became depressed, and the Japanese minister Komura Shoutaro, who had a sympathy for his fate, smiled helplessly at each other. (To be continued......)
