Lin Yuan didn't expect Princess Elilovna to be so aware of righteousness, and asked, "Don't you want to avenge your father and mother?" ”

Princess Elilovna smiled sadly and said, "My father and mother, they really didn't do anything good, and now that they are dead, it can be said that they are ......"

Princess Elilovna was silent for a moment, then spat out a single word: "Blame yourself." Then he lowered his head, sad.

Lin Yuan put his hand on her shoulder and persuaded softly, "Okay, don't be sad." ”

Princess Ililovna suddenly raised her head with a sunny smile on her face and said, "If you want to talk about enemies, you are also my enemies, aren't we very good now?" ”

After Princess Elilovna finished speaking, she ran into the house, Lin Yuan was stunned, not understanding what Princess Elilovna meant, and then suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming from the house, Lin Yuan seemed to understand what she meant-the past, let it pass.

At this time, the attendant sent another telegram saying that Nikolayevich had sent a plenipotentiary and would arrive at the headquarters of the Siberian Front tomorrow.

Lin Yuan nodded, and instructed the military department to prepare the video screen communication equipment, and he would personally negotiate with the plenipotentiary.

The next day, Lin Yuan came to the video call room, the military department had already prepared the video call equipment, the plenipotentiary was a bearded middle-aged man, Lin Yuan didn't know him, so the plenipotentiary introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Lin Yuan, my name is 'Kong Mengru'." ”

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, because this name was a Chinese name, and the plenipotentiary was a blonde and blue-eyed Westerner, why did he give it a Chinese name?

Kong Mengru seemed to see Lin Yuan's doubts, and said: "Mr. Lin Yuan don't be surprised, I am a famous Russian sinologist, and I have studied Confucianism very deeply, so I gave myself a Chinese name, which includes 'Confucius', 'Mencius' and 'Confucianism'. ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Then let's start, let's talk about Nikolayevich's conditions first." ”

Kong Mengru said with a smile: "I know the Chinese very well, the Chinese pay attention to 'asking for a price in the sky, sitting on the ground to pay back', and the two sides have to go through a series of games before they can finally get a compromise result." ”

"In order to show our sincerity, I will not ask for a sky-high price, I will directly state our bottom line, first, to ensure the safety of the lives and property of Nikolayevich and his men; Second, a guarantee that Nikolayevich and his subordinates would not be held accountable for the war. That's our bottom line, so please think about it. ”

Kong Mengru This is actually a negotiation strategy, he knows that in this negotiation, the Russian side is at an absolute disadvantage, the sky-high asking price not only does not receive any effect, but also may anger Lin Yuan, if Lin Yuan is angry and orders the troops to attack, the Russian side will not get anything, so Kong Mengru directly adopted a weak strategy, hoping to impress Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan didn't know about Kong Mengru's strategy, it wasn't that Kong Mengru's strategy was clever enough to deceive Lin Yuan, but now Lin Yuan's strength was too strong, and he didn't bother to think about the strategy when negotiating, Lin Yuan's only strategy was to crush the strength and put forward a condition, don't you agree? If you don't agree, we'll fight! You can't win or not, you can only agree.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Nikolayevich and his subordinates?" Who is this subordinate referring to? If there are too many people, it's hard for me to say yes. ”

Kong Mengru said with a smile: "Don't worry, the number is not much, the total number is not more than a hundred, and I have already given the list and property list to your subordinates." ”

Lin Yuan turned his head and asked the attendant to bring the list and the list of property, Lin Yuan glanced at it, and then said: "I can not kill any of the people on the list, and I will not pursue any of them, but what ......about property."

Lin Yuan's hesitation scared Kong Mengru out of a cold sweat, and then he only heard Lin Yuan say: "There are too many properties on these tops, like Nikolayevich, there are forty-five high-end villas, if I don't take these properties back, the people will have opinions." ”

Kong Mengru asked worriedly, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Everyone can only leave a small amount of property, only one set of houses can be left, and only one percent of the original deposit can be left for money." ”

Kong Mengru wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Okay, I agree, what about not being held accountable for the war?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Nikolayevich is called the new tsar by me, if I don't hold him accountable for the war at all, then I can't account to all the Russian people, so let's do it, I will try first, and then pardon, do you agree?" ”

Kong Mengru thought for a while and said, "I need to ask Nikolaevich about this, and I hope you will give me an hour." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Go and ask for instructions, I'll give you this hour." ”

Kong Mengru got up and went to send a telegram, and Nikolayevich called back in a short time, completely agreeing with Lin Yuan's request.

Lin Yuan immediately agreed with Kong Mengru to accept the surrender of the Praetorian Guard, although the Praetorian Legion was relatively strong in combat, but the whole of Russia could no longer fight, what could their army do?

After Lin Yuan and Kong Mengru discussed the major matters in principle, Lin Yuan suddenly thought, why didn't Nikolayevich ask for help from Britain and Germany, but directly ask me for peace?

So Lin Yuan asked: "Did Nikolayevich ask for help from Britain and Germany?" ”

Kong Mengru said with a smile: "The British and German ambassadors don't know where they went, and they didn't see Nikolayevich, so Nikolayevich didn't succeed in asking for help, even if they asked for help, it was useless, Britain and Germany wanted to stop China, unless they sent a large number of troops and China entered a state of all-out war, they couldn't save Russia at all." ”

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "The British and German ambassadors don't know where they went?" What does that mean? ”

Kong Mengru shook his head and said: "The British ambassador and the German ambassador have been missing for many days, and as for where they went and what they did, not only I don't know, but even Nikolayevich doesn't know. ”

Lin Yuan didn't ask any more questions and ended the talks.

Nikolayevich, who was in the Winter Palace, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that Lin Yuan had agreed to his peace terms, although he had lost a lot of property, it was much better than having nothing.

At this moment, the attendant hurriedly ran in and said: "Report to the speaker, British Ambassador Powell and German Ambassador Schwarter ask for a meeting!" ”

Nikolayevich was so surprised that he jumped up directly from his chair and said: "Bring them to me!" ”

The attendant turned to leave, but Nikolayevich hurriedly stopped him and asked: "Did the British and German ambassadors say where they have been these days?" ”

The attendant shook his head and said, "No, they didn't take the initiative to say, I asked tentatively, they deliberately covered it up, and I didn't ask anything." ”
