271 Karate, the best played in Japan?

As soon as the ship stopped, Hai Jing couldn't wait to jump off the deck, and under the reception of the greeting personnel with a lovely face, he walked towards a three-story bungalow located in the depths. (Vertex Hand Hit)

The Port Arthur behind him has already revealed the momentum of a large military port, but because the current main ships of the Pacific Fleet are fighting outside, there is only one torpedo ship and a few speedboats left in the military port, but even so, this military port still makes no one think of conspiring to seize it, even the British stationed in Yantai Port on the other side of the strait can only look at the Bohai Sea and sigh.

When the naval battle that took place in Micronesia was accompanied by the return of the US ** ship to the port of San Diego, the whole world was detonated, and in the case of not having an advantage on paper, the Pacific Fleet was born with four new cruisers, which made the navies and warship designers of all countries look at and think deeply, which exploded the Japanese fleet of returnees, and ate five capital ships of the opponent in one fell swoop in the interception war.

In the second interception battle off the coast of the Izu Peninsula, when there were only four capital ships, it was a multi-day attack on them, which caused the five main forces that escaped to suffer heavy damage, and also boarded a large armored cruiser of the first class that arrived from the Japanese mainland.

From the far southwest Pacific Ocean, to Micronesia in the depths of the ocean, to Hawaii and back to the Ryukyus, half of the Pacific Ocean has been embraced by the young man who is still mysterious and is said to be under the age of twenty.

He had not yet founded a state, still in the name of the Duke of Hawaii and the Prince of the Ryukyus, but in fact, as the big sign at the door of the house in front of him said, a new nation had risen from the land of the Far East.

Haijing stopped, squinted at the big words "Xinhua Government Affairs Yuan", and thought thoughtfully.

As German ambassador to China, he knew that his most important task was not to coordinate German relations here or to help German businessmen gain benefits, but to help His Majesty the Emperor of Prussia gain a foothold in the Far East, so that the new Germany would no longer be a spectator at the table.

Compared with the struggling Germany, Hai Jing is even a little jealous of Li Mo, because the Xinhua Government Council, which has not yet been recognized by the world, has used its wisdom to quietly stand on the shoulders of Britain, and with the warships and cannons that Britain has now regretted selling, it has taken the lead in entering the colonial era, Luzon, Micronesia, and even ...... and Japan

Perhaps the forces behind today's bungalow, both industrially and economically, cannot be compared with that of powerful Germany, but everyone knows how much land in Luzon alone will bring them in return.

Invisibly, Germany seemed to be lagging behind again, and Haijing and even the whole of Germany were jealous of why Li Mo was in the Far East, instead of Europe in which the strength was complicated, the continent was blocked by France, and the British had to catch up at sea.

Hai Jing retracted his gaze, he couldn't remember how many times he had come to Lushun from Tianjin, since the end of the Battle of Micronesia, the whole of Germany was waiting for the final outcome, because it involved the next step of Germany's strategy in the Far East.

In the bungalow, a few familiar faces came out, Hai Jing nodded and greeted them, and was just about to walk inside, when suddenly his eyes froze.

Spanish Ambassador to China?

How did he come here

In the sharp eyes, I saw that the Spanish ambassador to China and Tang Shaoyi, who was in charge of diplomacy in this bungalow, walked out hand in hand, and talked and laughed, as if they had been old friends for many years.

The keen intuition of the diplomat suddenly made him smell the weirdness in it, knowing that Spain and Honolulu are in a state of declaration of war, how can the two talk and laugh side by side?

He is not a rookie who does not understand anything, and many years in China have made him know very well that these Chinese have a habit, that is, to avoid suspicion, as a figure destined to become a new government with an important position in the external tongue, how can he not understand this?

Or is it?

Hai Jing's heart trembled violently, and then confirmed his judgment with great certainty, Spain and Li Mo had reached some kind of agreement, or that the old Spain had simply given up the rich land of Luzon

When his mind was turning, Tang Shaoyi had already seen the German ambassador to China, hurriedly bid farewell to the Spanish ambassador, and after ordering someone to entertain him, he walked over. "Your Excellency, Tang has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Lord Tang, in the words of you Chinese, Haijing is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he is going to trouble you again." Hai Jing smiled slightly, and quickly walked towards Tang Shaoyi, and the two big hands quickly shook together.

After letting go of his hand, Hai Jing turned his head to look at the back of the Spanish ambassador to China who was walking away, and said tentatively: "Lord Tang, are you and the Spanish ambassador good friends?" ”

Tang Shaoyi was exquisite, she didn't know Haijing's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am friends with everyone who comes to China and brings friendship and help. ”

"Oh? And what if it's the Japanese ambassador? Hai Jing's eyes narrowed.

"Haha......." Tang Shaoyi smiled: "Your Excellency the Ambassador is really good at laughing, but if the Japanese are willing to see me at this time, I will also make the best tea for them to entertain them." ”

"We people can't decide the war, so we can only eat with our mouths." Tang Shaoyi squinted his eyes and smiled slightly: "Are you right?" ”

Hai Jing nodded, knowing that he couldn't find out the Spanish ambassador's intention from Tang Shaoyi's mouth, so he could only put down this mind and return to the idea just now, and said with a smile: "Lord Tang said a lot, so in addition to drinking tea this time, I also hope to convince you." ”

"Please."

At the invitation of Tang Shaoyi, the two soon came to a small conference room with simple decoration, Haijing was no stranger to this place, so after entering the house, he quickly sat down and made his intentions clear.

"Lord Tang, I still have only one question, Germany wants to know when the agreement signed between the Duke and my country will come into effect."

Tang Shaoyi is not surprised by this eagerness at all, Japan's third largest island, more than 30,000 square kilometers, millions of people, this temptation not to mention Germany, which has always wanted to find a colony in the Far East, I am afraid that he will not be able to resist.

In particular, Germany, whose international status and colonial land were not commensurate with the strength of his own country, in order to seek greater power, the Emperor Wilhelm II had long thought crazy, and if it were not for the naval strength, I am afraid that the whole world would have started a war.

Judging from Hai Jing's eager expression, how wise the young master was to serve the tiger and divert Germany's attention at the beginning, otherwise I am afraid that Germany would have started to encroach on the Qing Kingdom with a knife and fork.

However, when it comes to fulfilling this agreement, it is impossible to take such a large island of Kyushu for nothing, without paying a price

Tang Shaoyi smiled slightly in his heart, and while ordering someone to make the best tea, he sat opposite Haijing without hurry, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, dear ambassador, please forgive me for saying that the war between China and Japan has not yet ended, is it too early to fulfill this agreement?" ”

Hai Jing's face changed slightly, and his heart twitched violently, could it be that Li Mo wanted to change his hexagram?

Suddenly said in a deep voice: "Lord Tang, we Germans don't like to talk around the corner, your country's two naval battles have consumed the main force of the Japanese fleet, I believe that as long as the Uraga waterway is opened after a while, the Japanese Navy will be exposed to the guns of your fleet, I believe that at this time, except for the short-sighted Japanese, no country will believe that they have the ability to win." ”

"Oh?" Of course, Tang Shaoyi could not tell the news that the Japanese Navy had sunk, but he just pretended to be surprised and said: "Is Your Excellency the Ambassador really so confident?" You must know that Japan still has 40,000 troops in Korea and more than 200,000 well-trained troops in China. ”

Hai Jing snorted coldly in his heart, directly ignored Tang Shaoyi's surprise, and said bluntly: "Lord Tang, I believe that Lord Duke knows better than anyone else, he doesn't need to fight a land war at all, Japan is an island country, without a navy, it can't threaten anyone at all, even if they can arm more than a million troops, it will be useless." ”

"Sure enough, he is a person who understands." Tang Shaoyi praised in his heart, and stopped going around in circles, and suddenly asked: "Your Excellency Haijing, my lord Duke is a person who says the same, since he has agreed to this agreement, he will not break the contract."

"But ......." Before Hai Jing's face changed, he had already sunk his face, took out a list and handed it over: "Lord Duke just wants to know when these machine tools that have not been loaded and shipped on the ship will arrive." ”

Hai Jing took the list, his face also changed slightly, before handing over the jurisdiction of Kyushu Island to Germany, Li Mo had submitted a procurement list to win over Germany to support him in controlling the three northeastern provinces, although most of the goods in the list arrived in Liaodong within half a year, but the most important thousands of various machine tools were suspended by the country on the grounds that war was about to break out in the Far East and that shipping was dangerous.

Because at that time, Germany was actually not optimistic about the Pacific Fleet, and the strength of Japan's new fleet was too strong, even Germany could not compare, and it also intended to contain the other party in this regard to prevent Li Mo from renegotiating the agreement, but he did not expect that now it has become an excuse for the other party to delay the agreement

However, Haijing didn't feel that there was anything wrong with doing that in China, and immediately said: "Lord Tang, I informed you long before the war in your country, unless we can ensure the smooth sea route and ensure the safety of our merchant ships, otherwise our country will not be able to transport such important goods here safely, but now I believe that this batch of materials will soon be loaded onto the ship." ”

"Hmph, just now?" Tang Shaoyi sneered in her heart, but continued to maintain a smile on her face: "Your Excellency, please forgive me for saying that my lord does not like friends who have defaulted on their contract, just like the United Kingdom."

"He has always regarded Germany as a good friend, but your country's approach to this shipment has deeply hurt his personal feelings, so he ......."

Before Tang Shaoyi finished speaking, Hai Jing's face changed and he stood up: "Do you want to break the contract?" ”

Haijing can't help but be anxious, you must know that the country and His Majesty the Emperor Wilhelm II have sent telegrams several times and urged them three times, and tens of thousands of naval and army officers and soldiers are still floating in the Penghu Islands at this time, if the other party breaks the contract, then they will all face the fate of not being able to settle down and return home, and Germany's plan to gain a foothold in the Far East will also be completely aborted

More importantly, the Pacific Fleet is now powerful, not to mention the German Navy, which is still very weak, even Britain and France have to concede three points in the Far East, and once the other side breaks the treaty, I am afraid there is no way to retaliate

Can he not be in a hurry

Hai Jing's impatience did not surprise Tang Shaoyi, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became even bigger, as a diplomat, in addition to the support of the powerful forces behind him, he also needs to force the other party into a corner and peel off their last coat in order to reap the greatest benefits.

Obviously, his vague words had stepped on the bottom line of the German ambassador, and he believed that he also knew the current predicament of Germany, so he smiled and took out another document.

"Your Excellency, this is an agreement drafted by the Duke of my family to hand over the jurisdiction of Kyushu Island to your country, and I hope you will read it first before making a decision."

"Kyushu Island Jurisdiction Agreement"

Hai Jing's breath suddenly became short, even a senior diplomat like him was a little out of shape by this sudden turn of cold and heat, one hundred and eighty degrees, of course, the most important thing is that Kyushu Island is too tempting for Germany, not to mention its area, not to mention its population, just the Sasebo Port built by the Japanese with great effort, is enough for anyone to take risks.

But when he opened the agreement and didn't look at it twice, the whole person was stunned

Jump up.

The first article of the agreement, the Pacific Fleet has half of the right to use Sasebo Port, after all, everyone knows that if it wants to gain a foothold on Kyushu Island, Germany really can't do without the help of Li Mo, otherwise with the long supply line from Europe here, it may be strangled by Britain, France and Germany at any time.

But the last two made him a little angry

Because Li Mo wrote that the jurisdiction of Kyushu Island was exchanged for German colonies in the Pacific Ocean, the Marshall Islands, including Nauru, and Buka, Bougainville Island in the Solomon Islands

Although there is no island of New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago, named after Prime Minister Bismarck, there are only small islands that do little damage to Germany, but they are also German territory

If it is acceptable for the Marshall Islands to be coveted by Li Mo because it blocks the connection between Micronesia and Honolulu, then the third article makes him feel even more prickly, that is, Li Mo asks Germany to recognize a new country.

Xinhua Republic

A new country that includes the current and future occupation of the three northeastern provinces, Luzon, Micronesia, and other Pacific forces

Even the Marshall Islands will be included

What's more, at this time, everyone knows that Li Mo has regarded the Qing Dynasty as his own forbidden body, except for Britain and France, two countries with huge interests in the Qing Dynasty, and hostile Russia is not willing to face this point, including Germany, Italy and even the United States, countries actually understand Li Mo's thoughts.

If Germany was the first to recognize the establishment of this new state, it would mean that unless it was willing to go to war, the huge Qing Far East would sooner or later be dominated by Li Mo

He was pushing Germany into opposition to Britain and France at once

Once recognized, it also means that this new republic will formally establish extraordinary relations with Germany

"Your Excellency, the world is very big, Africa and America, there is still a lot of land and gold, all we want is the Far East" Tang Shaoyi took a sip of tea, looking at the German ambassador with a pale face, but in his heart, he had already thrown the five bodies that Young Master Li admired, a jurisdiction over Kyushu Island, and even if the young master was willing to offer the jurisdiction of Shikoku Island, he could force a powerful Germany to this point.
