"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, I would like to express my stern protest against the brazen dispatch of a fleet by Xinhua to attack the British Indian colonies and the British Royal Navy during the negotiations, which will be detrimental to the ongoing negotiations between our two sides. I demand that Xinhua withdraw its fleet immediately to avoid further expansion of the gaffe, otherwise it will be very difficult for the negotiations to proceed! "At the beginning of the negotiations, British Foreign Secretary Henry . Viscount Temple protested to the Xinhua side in a loud voice. Henry. Although Viscount Temple is tough, his heart is full of bitterness. As the hegemon of the world, when did the British Empire need to protest to others? Once the interests of the British Empire are touched, what awaits will be the fierce retaliation of the British Empire, where will such a way be used? It can be seen that the British Empire is indeed out of line this time.

Lin Zihao, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, and Major General Sun Hao, Chief of Operations of the General Staff of the Xinhua Army, were expressionless, but their hearts were happy. Henry. Viscount Temple's cousin is like an accusation of a helpless woman being ravaged by a big man, not to mention how enjoyable it is. Didn't the British Empire often rely on its powerful force to deal with other countries in this way? Now it's karma too!

"Your Excellency, I have to remind you that although we are now negotiating, our two countries are still at war. The state of war between our two countries will end only after the signing of a peace treaty. Otherwise, any action taken by the Xinhua Army during this period would have a legitimate reason. Lin Zihao, Foreign Minister of Xinhua, said.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. If the war continues to break out, or even expand, this will be important for our negotiations. There will be no benefit at all! "Henry. Viscount Temple said. The Viceroy of India, Lord Ehrenborough, wrote to him indicating that he was under increasing pressure and was desperate for Henry. Viscount Temple was able to reach an agreement with Xinhua earlier. In this way, India will be able to stabilize. Therefore, Henry. Viscount Temple also had to bow his head. A knife on the head of the word ninja, so that the arrogant Henry. Viscount Temple bowed to Xinhuaguo, not to mention how uncomfortable it made him.

"Your Excellency, Viscount. In that case, then we should speed up the negotiation process! Lin Zihao said. His meaning is also obvious, there is no agreement in one day. The attacks of the Xinhua army will not stop for a day.

Henry. Viscount Temple nodded helplessly, and then said, "All right, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. The British Empire is still not able to accept the conditions you put forward last time. But. We can make certain concessions. For example, the transfer of the Straits Settlements to Xinhua State. In addition, the losses caused by Xinhua to the British Empire in this war will no longer be investigated. However, we hope that Xinhua will give up its claims to Australia, as well as its demands for war reparations to the British Empire. These two points are absolutely unacceptable to the British Empire. ”

In the face of the strong pressure of the new country, Henry. Viscount Temple chose to back down. However, he only agreed to hand over the Straits Settlements. After all, the Straits Settlements are now under the control of Xinhua, unless they completely defeat Xinhua. Otherwise, the Straits Settlements would definitely not return.

"Your Excellency, I can tell you very responsibly. Straits Settlements and Australia. Xinhua is about to be decided. The Straits Settlements are already under the control of Xinhua, and Australia is about to fall under the control of our Xinhua. We will not back down on these two colonies. As for the war reparations, we can reduce them a little, but Britain wants not to pay a penny, that is impossible! Lin Zihao also said firmly, he also made a little concession, but the bottom line is very clear.

Negotiation is originally a bargain. In the quarrel after quarrel, the two sides gradually reached an agreement. It's just that the differences between Xinhua and Britain are too great, and if you want to reach an agreement, I'm afraid it will take more effort.

"No, no, no! Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, such conditions are too harsh for the British Empire to accept. Australia is a very important colony of the British Empire, and we will not give up Australia. "Henry. Viscount Temple shook his head repeatedly.

"Your Excellency, as far as we know, Australia is nothing more than a place for the British to exile prisoners. There is no potential for development at all, except for animal husbandry. You also have to be prepared to defend yourself against the Australian Aborigines at all times. Therefore, it is nothing more than a piece of chicken ribs for Britain. It was very advantageous to transfer Australia to Xinhua and thus end the war. Lin Zihao said. Originally, the senior officials of Xinhua did not take Australia seriously, but King Long Yufei insisted that Australia's desert is rich in mineral resources, which made the senior officials of Xinhua have a great interest in Australia. The world's high-quality iron ore is mainly concentrated in South America in Brazil, India in Asia and Australia in Oceania. For Xinhuaguo, with the rapid development of industry, the demand for various metal ores is increasing, if it can win the close to Australia, which is undoubtedly a boost to the future industrial development of Xinhuaguo.

Henry. Viscount Temple agrees with Lin Zihao's statement that Britain does not attach importance to Australia. However, the thought of the transfer of millions of square kilometers of colonies to Xinhua made him very uncomfortable. Such conditions are difficult to obtain the approval of the cabinet as well as the parliament.

"Your Excellency, I have to remind you that our army has landed in Australia and will soon occupy it completely. Therefore, whether or not the UK agrees to transfer Australia to us does not actually have much of an impact on us. Because, once we occupy Australia, we will never hand it over again. Major General Sun Hao, chief of operations of the General Staff of the Xinhua Army, said.

For this statement of Major General Sun Hao, Henry. Of course, Viscount Temple believed that although the new Chinese country was established not long ago, it was greedy, and when he ate the fat in his mouth, there was never a time when the soil came out. Xinhua is about to form a fait accompli for the occupation of Australia, and unless Britain defeats Xinhua by force, it will be impossible to recapture Australia. It is simply unrealistic to continue to use force against Xinhuaguo. Otherwise, he would not have come to Singapore to negotiate with Xinhuaguo.

"Well, since you want Australia, then you can take it." Henry. Viscount Temple eventually relented. Although he is very reluctant to hand over Australia to Xinhuaguo, if it drags on forever, it will be even more unfavorable to them. What's more, he thought that this was just a temporary handover of Australia to the Xinhua Kingdom, and when Britain defeated the Xinhua Kingdom in the future, all of them would be recaptured. In addition, although Australia is a large area, most of it is desert, and for the United Kingdom, it is not important. Presumably, the parliamentarians in the country will not care too much.

"Haha, that's great. In this case, Your Excellency the Viscount, we are one step closer to reaching a consensus. Lin Zihao said with a smile. Seeing that the predetermined goals were achieved one by one, and the British Foreign Secretary continued to make concessions under the pressure of Xinhua Kingdom, he couldn't have been happier.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, we can give the Straits Settlements and Australia to the New Zealand. Britain has already paid a heavy price for this. Therefore, in terms of war reparations, Xinhua still needs to show sincerity! "Henry. Viscount Temple said. His meaning is very clear, he has already made concessions one after another, so it is time for the Xinhua side to show sincerity.

"Your Excellency, so be it, the war reparations of twenty million pounds that we originally asked Britain to pay are now reduced by ten million pounds for the sake of the good relations between our two sides. Britain only needs to pay us 10 million pounds in war reparations. Lin Zihao said generously.

However, Henry. Viscount Temple was so angry that he almost vomited blood. That's right, compared with the 20 million pounds of war reparations in Xinhua, now it is only 10 million, but it is a lot less. But that's still an astronomical sum! As long as Henry. If Viscount Temple hadn't been caught in the door, he wouldn't have agreed to this condition of Xinhuaguo. Even if it's reduced to £10 million, that's no different. The British Empire had agreed to transfer two important colonies to Xinhua, but Xinhua was still insatiable. Sir Temple was very dissatisfied.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, we have made great concessions. However, your country has no sincerity at all. In that case, I think it's going to be hard for us to come to an agreement. "Henry. Viscount Temple said angrily.

"Your Excellency, this war was provoked by Britain on its own initiative, and Xinhua only responded passively. In this war, we have suffered tens of thousands of casualties and paid a heavy price. Now that the war is over, shouldn't Britain compensate us for our losses? Lin Zihao's face also turned cold.

"But the loss of our British Empire is even greater!" Henry. Viscount Temple said. The main force of their navy was completely annihilated, and the more than 70,000 land forces deployed in the Straits Settlements were also completely annihilated by the Xinhua Army. Such a heavy loss is much greater than the loss of Xinhuaguo.

"Your Excellency, the war was provoked by you, and if you defeat the battle, you will naturally have to bear the losses. I think that if we are defeated, your country's asking price will definitely be even more ruthless! Lin Zihao said.

"You ......" Henry. Viscount Temple trembled with anger. However, he had to admit that Lin Zihao was right. If the British Empire had won this war, the Xinhua Kingdom would have been even more miserable, and the whole country would have ceased to exist! (To be continued......)
