The dance party in the U.S. Embassy continued, and on the dance floor, a pair of girls hugged each other and enjoyed the joy. And Sherlock, the U.S. ambassador to China, who was the host, only showed up during the start of the ball, and then left.
In a secluded room on the third floor of the embassy, Sherlock, the U.S. ambassador to China, was talking to Chinese Foreign Minister Dinh Fong. In this room, you can't hear any noise and it seems very quiet. In the room, there were only two people, Sherlock and Wu Tingfang.
"Your Excellency Ng Dinh Fong, the U.S. government is very sincere. The war that broke out in northern Mexico has affected the security of the Americas, and at the same time, the relationship between the United States and China has become more and more tense! Although there are many conflicts between the United States and China, I believe that war is not the only means to resolve these conflicts, and we should do our best to ensure peace. Ambassador Sherlock said.
"Of course, Your Excellency the Ambassador! China is a peace-loving country, and the Chinese nation is also a peace-loving nation. Wu Tingfang said with a smile.
The corners of Ambassador Sherlock's mouth couldn't help twitching, China is a peace-loving country? This is simply the biggest joke of the century. Over the past few years, China has fought many wars. It's just that in every war, China has won the final victory and is becoming stronger and stronger!
"So. Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, what do you think of our country's mentions? We hope that peace in the Americas can be guaranteed, which is very beneficial for both of our countries! Ambassador Sherlock said!
"Your Excellency, it seems that this battle was initiated by your country on its own initiative. If it weren't for your country's unauthorized entry into Mexico, our two countries would not have been able to fight. The same. If your troops withdraw from Mexico immediately, this war will be over, and China will never invade the United States! Wu Tingfang raised his eyebrows and put the basin that provoked the war on the heads of the Americans!
"Your Excellency, our American team. He was invited by President Díaz to enter Mexico to quell the rebellion, not without permission! Ambassador Sherlock said immediately.
"The tyranny of Díaz has brutally oppressed the Mexican people. And the people, having made the right choice. Now, Madero has become the president of Mexico! Wu Tingfang said.
If he could, Sherlock really wanted to slap Wu Tingfang, who had reversed black and white, in the face. If it weren't for the squadron forcing its way into Mexico, how could the Díaz government be overthrown? There will be no follow-up! Wu Tingfang: This is typical of being a bitch. I want to set up a memorial arch again!
"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, can we not discuss this issue for now. This war, although the losses of our country are greater. But again, your country has paid a lot of casualties. If the war continues, it will be very detrimental to both of our countries! Therefore, I think we should find a way to end this war! Ambassador Sherlock said.
"So. What are the conditions in your country? Wu Tingfang asked. As Ambassador Sherlock said, who is right and who is wrong. There is no point in it anymore. The point is, how much benefit China can get!
"What the U.S. government means is that we will cease fire from now on and promise not to start a war in Mexico in the future. As for the ceasefire line, it is bounded by our respective control areas now! Ambassador Sherlock said.
"What? Does the United States still want to annex northern Mexico? In this case, it is not easy for our country to give an account to the Madero government! Wu Tingfang asked rhetorically. Americans are equally greedy for territory. Otherwise, they would not have grown from thirteen colonies on the Atlantic coast to the huge country they are now. In the process of American expansion, Mexico has lost the most, and who calls Mexico weak and easy to bully? Now, the United States is eyeing the territory of northern Mexico again!
"No, no, no! Your Excellency misunderstands that the U.S. government has no ambitions for Mexican territory. We intend to let President Díaz, continue his rule in northern Mexico! Ambassador Sherlock said. The U.S. government also knows that there must be a secret agreement between China and the Madero government. If the United States annexes northern Mexico with great fanfare, China will definitely not agree!
"Divide Mexico?" Wu Tingfang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the United States to actually propose such a proposal. However, in this case, it seems that there is little harm to China. Anyway, China has already obtained most of Mexico's control rights, and already has a foothold. The next time you start a war against the United States, you don't have to attack the steel defense line that the Americans have painstakingly built!
"Your Excellency Ng Dinh Fong, there is a very good relationship between my Government and President Dias. Therefore, we also need to guarantee his interests. This is the best solution we can come up with! Ambassador Sherlock said.
"Your Excellency, I can't give you an answer right now, I need to report to His Majesty the Emperor!" Wu Tingfang said. This kind of thing, without Wang Yuze's permission, he obviously can't reach some kind of secret agreement with Sherlock!
"Your Excellency, I understand! However, please be able to get back to us sooner! Ambassador Sherlock said.
Wu Tingfang nodded, if it drags on any longer, it will not be of any benefit to China.
Next, Wu Tingfang didn't have the heart to participate in the ball, and left directly from the embassy. However, Ambassador Sherlock, after finishing his meeting with Wu Tingfang, began to enjoy the ball.
From the smile on his face, the ambassadors of other countries could see that the talks between him and Wu Tingfang were very harmonious. As you can guess, this time the war between China and the United States in northern Mexico may come to an end. It's just that everyone is still very curious about the specific content of the negotiation!
"Americans want to divide Mexico? Continuing to support the Díaz government in northern Mexico? Wang Yuze asked in surprise.
"Yes, Your Majesty! That's probably what Ambassador Sherlock meant by the U.S. government! Wu Tingfang replied.
"The best of Mexico is concentrated around Mexico City and the Gulf Coast. Northern Mexico is very poor, and even if the Americans support the Díaz government, it is estimated that it will not have any effect! Wang Yuze said.
"Your Majesty, maybe the Americans just want to push the line of defense in a difficult direction, lest we directly threaten the American soil as soon as we start a war! It is undoubtedly a good way for the Americans to push the line to the south when they know that they cannot defeat us. It's just that this root doesn't play a big role! Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wu said.
"Oh? How so? Wang Yuze asked.
"The border between northern Mexico and the United States is mostly plains and deserts, and many places are unsafe and suitable for attack! If the Americans wanted to build a strong defensive line in northern Mexico, it would be impossible! Even, if war breaks out, we can use northern Mexico to annihilate the main forces of the US Army! Xiong Wu said.
"Your Majesty, according to the information we have now, the Americans have also begun to accelerate the construction of their battleships. It is clear that the Americans have placed their hopes of victory on the Navy. If their navy can win, then no matter how strong our army is, I am afraid it will not be able to threaten them! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said. The strong industrial strength of the United States has been completely revealed. The United States has almost twice as many battleships under construction as China. Of course, the secrecy 'Hanshin-class' fast battleships were not counted!
"Our navy will not lose to the Americans!" Han-class' battleships will be put into service at the end of the year. After that, the construction of the 'Hanshin-class' fast battleships will also be accelerated. Even if the US Navy has a quantitative advantage, they will not have a slight advantage in quality. The Battle for the Mediterranean has proven that in addition to quantitative superiority, qualitative superiority is also very important! Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wu said.
Wang Yuze nodded, as long as the Chinese Navy can obtain sea control in the eastern Pacific, it will be able to ensure that China's large army will continue to sail to Mexico, and at the same time, it will also be able to ensure the smooth flow of logistics. If the logistical supply line can be guaranteed, the squadron's combat strength in northern Mexico can be fully utilized. Even if the U.S. military sent more troops to northern Mexico, it wouldn't make much difference!
"In that case, let's accede to their request! The specific conditions, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Americans discussed. However, we can't afford to lose! Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, Your Majesty! However, on the side of the Madero government, how should we respond? I'm afraid they won't accept the existence of two governments on Mexican territory! Wu Tingfang asked.
"Ignore them! When the time comes, send troops to recover southern Mexico, and they will already be worthy of them! Wang Yuze said. The Mexicans' appearance in this war was really bad, which made Wang Yuze very disgusted with Mexicans. If it weren't for the fact that these Mexicans were still useful, Wang Yuze would have ignored them a long time ago!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Tingfang didn't ask anything more!
On the morning of March 19, Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang met with U.S. Ambassador to China Sherlock, and the two sides formally held talks on the issue of a ceasefire in northern Mexico. However, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, whether it was China or the United States, there was no intention to note the Mexican government. The two countries clearly intend to divide Mexico in two without the presence of representatives of the Mexican government!
