To be honest, after hearing Yuan Jing's words, Zhang Lixin's first reaction was that the conditions of the Japanese were acceptable.

That's right, it's acceptable.

The reason is very simple, because Zhang Lixin is a main peace faction, and his position is also very pro-Japanese.

This is not surprising at all, after all, in the past, Yan Shao has always adopted a policy of wooing Japan. Wouldn't sending an ambassador over at this time make trouble for yourself again? Therefore, if you get a more pro-Japanese ambassador over, at least it will not cause any hindrance to your plan.

However, as I said earlier, being pro-Japanese does not mean flattering Japan, let alone treason.

It can only be said that it is closer to Japan.

It is precisely for this reason that in the future, if China and Japan clash, pro-Japanese factions such as Zhang Lixin may not choose to turn their backs on their own country.

Of course, it's hard to say about the flattery.

However, considering the current situation, there are very few people who will choose the position of flattery. After all, China has become more powerful than Japan, and few people choose to be close to the weak.

Of course, more importantly, Zhang Lixin is a master and faction, and for him, war is something that should be avoided with all his might. So looking at Yuan Jing's sincere expression, and after considering his understanding of the current situation in Japan, Zhang Lixin really wanted to agree to Yuan Jing.

It's just that...

Although Zhang Lixin can make a certain decision in this matter, it is still domestic that makes the final decision after all, and there is still a certain gap between the conditions put forward by the Japanese this time and China. Even Zhang Lixin didn't dare to call the shots, and in the end, Zhang Lixin's function was to transmit the conditions back to China.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After the conditions put forward by the Japanese were transmitted back to China, they quickly caused a great controversy.

Some people feel that the conditions of the Japanese are still more sincere, but they are relatively more considerate of their own face. There is also the idea of stabilizing the mood of the people in the country. So I agreed, and it was okay.

But another group of people felt that if the Japanese did such a thing this time, they did not know what would happen in the future if they did not teach them some harsh lessons. What's more, this time the Japanese have offended China anyway, and it's really hard to talk about the past without teaching some lessons...

Of course. What's more, there are some people who really want to teach the Japanese a lesson, and now that they finally have the opportunity, they really don't want to give up...

In fact, it's not just them, even Yan Shao is the same.

Although Yan Shao also felt that this time was counted as an air raid, as well as the battle to guard the embassy. The Chinese side has indeed taken a big advantage, and if you count it, it is not a loss to stop in this way.

But just give it up, after all, it's still too unpleasant.

What's more, exactly on Japanese terms? Why? Why does Yan Shao want to give face to these Japanese?

At the time of the First Sino-Japanese War, did the Japanese ever think about giving face to China?

Was there at the time of the Gengzi Incident?

Was there during the Russo-Japanese War?

And when there was a series of unequal treaties in the past, was there?

Since they didn't give China face in the first place, why did Yan Shao need to save face for them?

So in terms of the reply to Zhang Lixin, Yan Shao's reply was 'disagree'...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After the telegram was sent. Zhang Lixin has been waiting for the domestic reply, but when the telegram of the domestic reply arrived, Zhang Lixin couldn't help but sigh.

Because of the first three words on the telegram. I just don't agree with these three words.

However, after looking down, Zhang Lixin's expression looked a little better.

The reason is also very simple, although Yan Shao vetoed the proposal of the Japanese, he did not close the door.

Therefore, Yan Shao only revised the three conditions of the Japanese again.

First of all, there is the issue of responsibility, and the Japanese must apologize for everything they have done.

As for China?!

Make some regrets. It's not impossible to find out like apologies, but this is something that the Japanese government needs to pay in exchange.

There is also the question of holding those responsible accountable. It is indeed too exaggerated to hold thousands of people accountable at once.

But head those molecules. But it must be handed over.

At the very least, the dozen or so people who led the way, including those officers in the later period, must be handed over.

As for the rest, it is okay to leave it to the Japanese government to deal with it on its own, but it must also be done under the supervision of the national government.

Finally, and most critically, the issue of compensation.

Considering that Japan has just been hit by an earthquake, Yan Shao can reduce the compensation very much, and even raise the issue of directly canceling the compensation later.

But Japan must open the door to China on many of the more critical tariffs.

In other words, Yan Shao has saved face for the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, and he can not collect debts so much, so that the current cabinet will lose face, but the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang must compensate Yan Shao on other issues, especially in terms of money...

And in this world, there is no doubt that there is no more reasonable way than tariffs...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"These..."

Looking at the things that Zhang Lixin had just handed over to him in his hand, Yuan Jing's expression was slightly stiff.

At the same time, looking at Yuan Jing, Zhang Lixin also shook his head slightly and said,

"I'm sorry, we can't agree to your proposal, at least not all of them, but we've also changed our original conditions, and these are our latest conditions..."

Hearing Zhang Lixin's words, Yuan Jing focused all his attention on the documents in his hand.

In fact, the whole thing is divided into countless subcategories, and there are at least a lot of things to come.

It's just that the three just now are the most critical of them. That's why it's described, and in addition to these three, there are many other small conditions, but these can only be ignored at the moment...

After flipping through the documents that Zhang Lixin submitted to himself, Yuan Jing's expression was obviously a little ugly.

After taking a deep breath though. Yuan Jing nodded and said.

"I'll show you all this to Your Excellency Saionji..."

"Well, I hope that your country will agree to the above terms, because this is already the greatest concession that our country can make..."

"Well..."

I don't believe Zhang Lixin's words very much, but who calls his family the one who is at a disadvantage right now, so Yuan Jing can only shake hands with Zhang Lixin.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Looking at the back of Yuan Jing leaving, Zhang Lixin shook his head.

"Alas. I hope that the Japanese will agree to the conditions at home, otherwise I am afraid that it will be necessary to start anew. ”

"Mr. Ambassador, you have too many concerns, at least I think with our brethren. There is nothing to go to war, the Japanese need to learn some lessons, only in this way can they understand who is the real leader in this land of Asia, and this is a godsend, how can we let it go..."

Looking at Li Feng, who was wearing a black suit and somewhat similar to the underworld, Zhang Lixin shook his head.

"Fighting. But the dead..."

"What doesn't kill people, in the army, even daily training can die because of this or that accident. Of course. The probability of this is still very low, but since he has joined the army, then he should naturally have the corresponding consciousness, at least the consciousness of dying on the battlefield, not to mention that this can be called sacrificing his life for the country? ”

Li Feng didn't feel that there was anything wrong with fighting a war at all, especially if he taught the Japanese a lesson.

Not so long ago, in fact. When Li Feng and his subordinates were exhibiting outside the house, they used to have a very tense relationship with the Japanese who were also responsible for the escort work outside.

It's just that the Japanese got the order. It must be restrained, and Li Feng and them. But while he got the order, he didn't want to deal with his subordinates, so he didn't make any trouble.

Looking at Li Feng's appearance, Zhang Lixin also knew very well that it was difficult for him to persuade the man in front of him, so he didn't waste his lips and tongues. Just shook his head, and returned to the embassy by car with Li Feng and others.

At the same time, with those documents, after coming to the mansion of Saionji Gongwang, Yuan Jing soon met Xionji Gongwang.

"So, these are the Chinese's proposals?"

Looking at the documents in front of him, Xiyuan Temple looked at Yuan Jing, his most powerful assistant.

"That's right." Yuan Jing nodded and said respectfully. "The Chinese said they were also willing to take a step back, so they just added some conditions on top of our original one."

"Do you think we should accept it?"

"Me?" After hesitating for a moment, bowing his head and thinking about it, Yuan Jing spoke. "I think it should be accepted, although some of these conditions are relatively not ......... 'very good'... But it can also be seen from this that the sincerity of the Chinese, at least in this matter they are indeed sincere, and more importantly, we do not have the strength to compete with the Chinese, if war really breaks out, then our country's losses will most likely far exceed those brought by these conditions..."

"yes..."

Saionji nodded.

"There is really no benefit to having a conflict with China right now."

With that, Saionji looked at his deputy again.

"But have you thought about it, what will those people in the military department think about after learning about this?"

"This!"

Hearing Xiyuan Temple's words, Yuan Jing was suddenly a little speechless.

Because what those people in the military department will think after learning about this, it seems that even with their knees can imagine it...
