The biggest disagreement between the Chinese Empire and Russia was mainly over territory, and both countries were very concerned about land. It's not just Russians who have a greed for land in their bones. The same is true of Chinese, where generations of Chinese have longed for more land.

This time, after defeating Lao Maozi, the Chinese Army grabbed the entire Far East and Eastern Siberia, which is millions of square kilometers of land! Although, most of these territories are barren and barren land. But if these territories are lost, it is enough for Lao Maozi to lose nearly half of his territory. Therefore, it is difficult for the Russians to agree to such conditions.

However, these territories have been captured by the Chinese army, and Lao Maozi is not able to take them back. Is it possible to spit out the fat that has been eaten in the mouth? This is categorically impossible.

The differences between the two sides are very large, and it is undoubtedly very difficult to reach an agreement. This also made the British Minister to China Zhu Erdian and the French Minister to China Pasteur very difficult.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, the requirements of the Chinese Empire, we already know. Frankly, the Chinese Empire's demands were not excessive. However, Russia is, after all, our ally, and we have an obligation to safeguard Russia's interests. Therefore, I hope that the Chinese Empire will look at our traditional friendship and give Russia a step down. Sir Jurden said.

Tang Shaoyi sneered in her heart, is there a traditional meaning between China and the United Kingdom? I'm afraid not at all. Some are just the humiliation that the British have been inflicting on the Chinese over the decades. If one day China can become truly strong and have the strength to defeat the British, China will definitely not hesitate to return everything to the British.

"Your Excellency, this request of yours really makes it difficult for me! The interests of the empire also need to be defended by us. Tang Shaoyi looked a little embarrassed. But. In order to contribute to the success of the peace negotiations, appropriate concessions are also understandable.

"Your Excellency, if the Chinese Empire is able to give up its claims to Russia, the French Government may once again lend to the Chinese Empire a huge loan worth more than a billion francs." French Minister to China Pasteur said.

Tang Shaoyi's eyes couldn't help but light up. Now that the empire has just been built, it is faced with a mess and money is needed everywhere. It would be best if you could get another loan from the French. One billion francs, when converted into oceans, is 400 million oceans, which is equivalent to a huge amount of money.

"Well, Your Excellency, we can make some concessions. But. It is impossible to completely abandon those territories. We can return Irkutsk and the surrounding area to the Russians. The dividing line between the two sides in the region can be bounded by the Selenga River and Lake Baikal, with the Chinese Empire to the east and Russia to the west. This is our final bottom line, and if Russia does not accept it, then we will have nothing to do. Tang Shaoyi said. This is actually the bottom line of the Chinese Empire, giving up part of the land. In order to annihilate the main forces deployed by the Russian army on the border in one fell swoop in future wars. Then they drove straight into the heart of the Russians.

Sir Jurdian and Minister Pasteur frowned, it was obvious that such a small concession from the Chinese Empire did not satisfy them. However, it is indeed commendable that the Chinese Empire was able to make so many concessions. Nor can they continue to put pressure on the Chinese Empire. lest the Chinese Empire completely fall to Germany. In that case, it's not good.

"If your country is not willing to make concessions on the territory side, then what about the war reparations? Or in terms of ransom for Russian prisoners of war, can the Chinese Empire make some more concessions? Sir Jurden said. Hundreds of thousands of Russian prisoners of war were in the hands of the Chinese Empire. These prisoners of war were among the most elite units of the Russian Army. If they were able to return to Russia, it would undoubtedly be a great increase in the strength of the Russian army, and it would also be convenient for them to have more troops to attack Germany in case the war broke out.

"Hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, redeeming them with only 500 million oceans, that is already a very cost-effective deal. In this way, we can make a step, and we only need 400 million oceans. Tang Shaoyi said.

As soon as Sir Zhu Erdian and Minister Pasteur saw Tang Shaoyi's attitude, they knew that it was already very difficult to continue to make concessions to the Chinese Empire. So, if they want to succeed in the peace talks, the only thing they have to do is put pressure on the Russians.

Sir Jurdian and Minister Pasteur then took their leave, and they needed to return to the Russian Concession to continue their discussions with Ronsowitz.

When Sir Jurdian and Minister Pasteur handed over the final conditions of the Chinese Empire to Ronsovic, Ronsovic still had an angry face, claiming that Russia would not consider such conditions. Russia will definitely not be able to lose so much territory, and even have to pay 400 million oceans of war reparations to the Chinese. This is clearly to slaughter Russia as a defeated country, and in fact, they are not defeated.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency Minister Pasteur, this is a blackmail by the Chinese against Russia, and we absolutely cannot give in easily." Ronsovicz looked at Sir Jurdian and Minister Pasteur with a hint of pleading in his eyes, hoping that they would stand with Russia and put pressure on the Chinese Empire. It's just that it is destined to disappoint Lang Suoweici. The British and the French only wanted Russia to withdraw from this war as soon as possible, so that all their strength could be invested in Europe. The threat that the Germans posed to them, that was the most important thing.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, but we think that the Chinese Empire's request is quite reasonable. Now that Russia has lost on the battlefield, it will hardly have a chance to turn the tide. Under such circumstances, accepting the conditions of the Chinese, reaching a peace agreement, and stopping the war is undoubtedly the most effective way! Sir Jurdian shook his head and said.

"Your Excellency, our enemies are not in the Far East, but in Europe. After we have solved the enemies in Europe, there is time to slowly deal with the Chinese. If we throw too much power into a senseless war with the Chinese, the consequences will be unimaginable if we lose in Europe. French Minister Pasteur also said. In fact, this also represents the position of the French. Although they were willing to lend money to the Chinese Empire, it was just normal business. The French also feared that their Indochina colony would be occupied by the Chinese Empire. After all, the Chinese Empire was too close to the Indochina colonies. The Chinese Empire's powerful army was even more formidable for the French. The powerful Chinese army could easily move south and sweep across the entire Indochina colony. Therefore, the French hoped that after solving the strong enemy in Europe, everyone would unite to bring down the Chinese Empire. In this case, the Indochina colony would be completely secure. Moreover, maybe they will be able to get more benefits from the fallen Chinese Empire.

Ronsowitz was silent, though he knew that Sir Jurdian and Minister Pasteur were right. However, such a big thing is not something he can decide after all. And the stubborn Tsar Nicholas II would accept these conditions? It's also unlikely to think about it.

"I need to report back to the country. However, I don't think there is much chance of domestic acceptance. Ronsovicz said.

"If Russia is not willing to put an end to such conditions, then we will have no choice but to stop this war. In addition, if Russia is unable to devote all its strength to the war against the Allies at the outbreak of war, as agreed by the Allies, then we will have to consider whether we should provide Russia with so much support. Sir Jurden said. There was a hint of threat in his words.

"The French government will also stop lending to Russia, and this money, instead of lending to Russia to be used to consume in the war with the Chinese Empire, should be used to arm more troops to protect our interests." Minister Pasteur said without hesitation.

Ronsovicz felt the pressure that if Britain and France stopped their support for Russia, Russia would be miserable. If you want to keep fighting, it's even more difficult.

Minister Ronsovici then sent a telegram to St. Petersburg, in which he gave a detailed account of the difficulties encountered in the negotiations. and recommended that the domestic acceptance of the conditions proposed by the Chinese Empire.

At the same time, the British ambassador to Russia and the French ambassador to Russia also paid a joint visit to Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky and expressed to him the demands of Britain and France. All this has made Russia feel tremendous pressure.

Tsar Nicholas II convened an emergency meeting in the study of the Winter Palace. There was only one main content of the meeting, that is, in the face of pressure from Britain and France, whether Russia should accept the harsh conditions put forward by the Chinese Empire in this negotiation.

Nicholas II was very angry in his heart, he felt that he had been deceived, and the two allies of England and France betrayed him. Not only did he not help them in the war, but he stabbed them in the back. However, it seems that Russia now has no choice but to accept the goodwill of Britain and France and reach a peace agreement with the Chinese Empire.

"Guys, what the hell are we supposed to do? Will this war continue to be fought? Nicholas II asked. His words revealed his anger and grievances. If he could, he would never be willing to give in. This is completely tantamount to Russia once again planting a big heel in the East, and it is shameless! (To be continued......)
