Chapter 605: Compromise (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The cars of the British Minister to China, Sir Jurdian, the French Minister to China, Briand, and the Russian Minister to China, Ronso Witz, arrived at the Imperial Foreign Office in turn. However, before they got out of the car, they saw the German ambassador to China, Hahausen, walking out of it and walking into the car of the German embassy with a spring breeze on his face.

Suddenly, Sir Zhu Erdian and the others suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts. The Allies have been doing their best to get China into the Allies' camp, and they have known this for a long time. China and Germany have always had a close relationship. Therefore, the Entente has been preventing China from joining the Allies. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster for the Entente.

"Damn, these ghostly Germans, they must have lobbied the Chinese again. Hopefully, the Chinese are not impressed by these Germans. Otherwise, we're in trouble. Sir Jurdian said secretly.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese will not be unable to distinguish between the important and the heavy. If they join the Allies, they will be finished if the Allies are defeated. Ronsovicz said.

Sir Jurdian glanced at Ronsowici, did not say anything more, but walked quickly into the Imperial Foreign Office. Now, the most important thing is to stabilize the Chinese. As for such idiotic statements of the Russians, ignore them at all.

In the current war situation, although the Entente resisted the attack of the Central Powers. But the Entente themselves were on the verge of being defeated. If it weren't for the blood transfusion of the colony, they would have been unable to hold on. Fortunately, the powerful offensive of the Germans was resisted. The next step is just to consume the national strength of the Germans step by step. The final victory was certainly that of the Entente. But if China had joined the Allies, it would have been different. Under the attack of China and Germany, Russia will definitely collapse. In addition, if China launched an attack on the colonies of Britain and France, Britain and France would have no power to stop it. After losing the support of the colony. The two countries did not last long.

In the office of Tang Shaoyi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, Tang Shaoyi met with the ministers of the three countries.

"Hello everyone, please be seated." Tang Shaoyi's face was full of smiles. He already knew what these guys were here for.

"Your Excellency, let's get straight to the point. We want to know. Did the Chinese Empire have the will to join the Allies in the war? Sir Zhu Erdian stared at Tang Shaoyi tightly, as if he wanted to see something from the expression on his face.

"Your Excellency, you are laughing. The Chinese Empire was a neutral country. From the beginning of the war to the present, we have maintained strict neutrality. I think Britain is also very aware of this. So far, we have no intention of joining the war. Tang Shaoyi said with a smile.

In the past year, the Chinese Empire has sold weapons and equipment and other war materials to the warring sides under the guise of a neutral country, in exchange for a large amount of wealth and advanced technology. This seriously stimulated the development of the industry of the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Empire was eager for the war to continue. The longer you play, the better. In this way, the Chinese Empire will be able to make more money and gain more technology. Unless it was a last resort, the Chinese Empire would never join the war.

However, Tang Shaoyi didn't say anything to death. What he said was that the Chinese Empire had no intention of joining the war so far. However, no one dared to guarantee that in the future the Chinese Empire would join the war. As for whether to join the Central Powers or the Entente. It's hard to say. Now, though, it looks. It seems more likely that the Chinese Empire will join the Allied War. On the one hand, the Chinese Empire and Germany had close relations. On the other hand, if the Chinese Empire joins the Central Powers, then the large colonies of Britain and France will become fat in the mouths of the Chinese Empire, and they can easily eat it into their stomachs.

Sir Jurdian frowned. Of course, he heard what Tang Shaoyi meant. Unfortunately, however, there is nothing he can do about it.

"Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, since the Chinese Empire has no intention of joining the Allies in the war, you have hundreds of thousands of troops on the border. And large-scale military exercises are also being conducted, what does this mean? The Russian envoy to China, Ronso Vicz, jumped out. This is directly related to Russia's security, and they are particularly concerned about it.

"Your Excellency, is there anything wrong with the troops of the Chinese Empire stationing on their own land and conducting military exercises on their own land? It doesn't seem necessary to report this to the Russian government, does it? Tang Shaoyi said coldly.

"You ......" Lang Suovic was furious, but he didn't know how to refute it. After all, what the Imperial Chinese Army is doing at the moment, although it poses a threat to Russia. However, all this is the behavior of the Imperial Chinese Army on its own territory, and Russia really has no reason to interfere.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, quarrels do not help solve the problem. Let's calm down and solve the problem calmly. Sir Jurdian hurriedly came out to play the round. If the Chinese foreign minister and the Russian minister had quarreled, there would have been no possibility of the talks going on.

Tang Shaoyi and Lang Suo Weici both maintained restraint and didn't say anything.

The Chinese Empire did not want to get involved in the war now, and the reason why it carried out large-scale military exercises was simply to deter Russia and force Russia to agree to China's conditions.

In the same way, Russia does not want to go to war with the Chinese Empire now. Lang Suo Weici is so loud, it is completely to increase his confidence.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, the current military exercises conducted by the Chinese* army have indeed caused some misunderstandings. We believe that in order to clear up misunderstandings, it would be better for the Chinese* military to stop the exercises. Brian also said.

"Your Excellency, it seems that the Chinese Empire has no obligation to do this!" Tang Shaoyi raised his eyebrows, wanting to make the Chinese Empire retreat easily, how could that be possible.

"Your Excellency, we only say that everything you do is for the sake of the Jews. We don't know what the damned Jews have done you to protect them at such great lengths. But you would do well to consider whether it is worth going to war with the Russian Empire for the sake of the Jews. The Russian Empire was an important member of the Entente, and to go to war against the Russian Empire was to wage war against the entire Entente. Lang Suovic looked arrogant.

"Your Excellency, this is between us and the Jews. On the contrary, the Russian government's wanton persecution of those Jews is too domineering. The attitude of the Reich has been made clear, and we hope that Russia will give up its persecution of the Jews and let them leave Russia. Otherwise, I dare not guarantee what kind of means the Chinese Empire will take. Tang Shaoyi was resolute.

"Including war? Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary? Brian asked nervously.

If Russia and the Chinese Empire went to war, it would be a disaster for France, and without the Russians, millions of German troops would break through the French defenses on the border, and even Paris would eventually fall. In this case, France will be miserable.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, are you threatening war with the Entente?" Sir Jurdian's brows furrowed tightly.

"No, Sir Sir, this is definitely not a threat of war. The Chinese Empire did not want the situation to continue to deteriorate. But if the Russian government insists on going its own way, it will be difficult to say. Tang Shaoyi said.

Seeing that the Chinese side was so tough, several envoys of the Entente countries also knew that if they continued to talk, it would not be of any use. They could only report the attitude of the Chinese Empire to the country.

China's hardline attitude has made Britain, France and Russia very dissatisfied. The Russians, in particular, were even more furious. I think this is clearly a provocation against Russia. Enraged, Nicholas II ordered the troops at the front to be best prepared for battle. He even ordered the Russian War Department to prepare to send troops from the Western Front to Central Asia and Siberia to fight to the death with the Chinese* army.

It's just that such an impulsive order is naturally impossible to be carried out. Britain and France issued a stern warning to Russia, claiming that they would cut off all aid to Russia if Russia drew troops from the Western Front. In the eyes of Britain and France, Germany was their most important enemy. As for the Chinese, at this stage it is completely negligible, and it is better not to provoke if they can not provoke. Even if the Chinese bully the head, they can temporarily back down.

In addition, Britain and France also thought that it was too unwise for Russia to tear its face with China for the sake of those Jews. The Jews, though rich, would not have been worth it if they had caused a war between Russia and China, and finally led to the demise of Russia, so that the Entente lost the war. With the Chinese Empire unwilling to compromise, they could only force Russia to compromise and back down.

As a result, the British and French foreign ministers summoned the Russian ambassadors to Britain and France, and expressed to them the British and French attitudes, hoping that Russia would give them careful consideration. Moreover, he vaguely expressed the hope that Russia would put the overall situation first. Don't let those Jews cause problems in the war situation of the whole Entente.

Even their own allies let themselves put pressure on themselves, and the mood of the Russians can be imagined. Nicholas II was completely furious. However, at this point, they have no choice. Without the support of Britain and France, Russia would have found itself in the position of having no possibility of defeating China alone. Especially now that the main forces of the Central Powers are still marching on Russia.

As a last resort, the Russian government had no choice but to accept the conditions of the Chinese Empire, which stopped the persecution of the Jews in Russia and allowed them to leave Russia freely. (To be continued.) )
