865 negotiations busy

"I'm busy. 【 I want: super fast update ]"

"No, I'm going to apply for a transfer."

The above two sentences have become the mantra of every staff member of the North China Trading Company during the armistice negotiations, for the soldiers there is no need to lift their heads and work hard, for the Americans there is no need to worry about bombs and planes, but for the trading company since the beginning of the negotiations, not only is there no time but more and more busy, everyone does not touch the ground, and they can't wait to step on the hot wheels like Nezha, and divide three heads and six arms to help.

Of course, you can also learn the hair transformation technique of Sun Monkey.

However, these have always been the whimsy of the United States, and with the rapid takeover of the whole United States by the military after the armistice, the tasks of the trading companies have suddenly increased dozens of times, and almost everyone feels that the heads are incomparably big in the face of the machinery, equipment, factories, and scientific researchers on the list of the East Coast and the Great Lakes region.

So, the phrase "busy to death." According to unverifiable gossip, the big boss Liu Jingpeng has snubbed his wife for a long time in order to speed up the completion of the task of emptying the United States assigned by the emperor, so much so that Mrs. Liu thought that her husband had a physical problem, and went to the hospital to dispense a large number of aphrodisiac drugs, which became a big joke circulating inside.

"No, I'm telling you, in three days the No. 7 fleet must be in Baltimore."

"What? Can't get in touch? Broken radio? ”

"Then contact the Navy and contact the Aviation!"

Liu Jingpeng, the big boss of Virginia City, who had already moved his office to the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, hung up the phone angrily, turned to look at the seven or eight staff members holding the list of transfer materials, slapped his forehead and howled: "Don't look at me, the old man has done his best, and even the fucking destroyer is helping you load things, so you can spare the old man." ”

It's too much, it's just too much!

Thanks to the "evil" orders of the North American Theater Command, all major U.S. cities are now occupied, and red-eyed soldiers move almost anything they see except for the civilian goods and ordinary property that cause the riots, so much so that it is said that the military consumes more than twice as much gasoline as it did during the war! If it weren't for East Texas Oil Company working at full speed, it is estimated that he would have to lie down first.

The important thing is that these bastards are too fucking blind, just move the raw materials of the finished product, and why are you going to do the dead ore that hasn't been refined yet?! But even with that out of the equation, there were still so many things that needed to be moved that capacity was starting to run wildly.

"Boss, I'm important. You see, tons of lead ingots. ”

"And my one, copper, are all copper ingots that have been refined."

"What are you guys? Look at me, hundreds of thousands of rifles, millions of bullets and shells captured by the army, this matters. ”

"It's all a fart, it's a hurry to move the silver reserves of the United States!"

"Silver! Silver in hand?! ”

"Yes, an armored company of the 17th Infantry Division has found the silver storehouse, it is already there, and it is urgent to send a fleet of trucks to load it."

"Great!" Liu Jingpeng jumped up directly, this silver vault was stared at by the military for a long time, and the Ministry of Intelligence sent people to keep an eye on it 24 hours after the start of the war, so he immediately picked up the phone again, and arranged to contact the Navy transport ships to give priority to removing important reserves of silver, and then rushed out of the office regardless of these guys.

After walking out of the office, it suddenly became clear in front of me, as one of the few shipbuilding bases in the United States, Virginia had too many things to take away, especially the warships that had been half-built, cargo ships were included in the list, and even many warships that were sunk by the United States began to speed up salvage.

Now Liu Jingpeng's only thought is that he hopes that the negotiations in Istanbul, which have started for five days, can be longer, so that he can have half a year to maneuver for himself, otherwise he will definitely not be able to complete the task of moving important materials before the amount of compensation is finally determined.

"Huh? Isn't this Big Boss Liu? How do you have the leisure to inspect the work? ”

A familiar voice sounded, and he only saw Li Xiuyan, who was dressed in civilian clothes and had not followed the fleet to England, did not know where to find a sī yacht, and was about to go around the Chesapeake Bay to take a detailed look at this large shipbuilding and naval base in the United States. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

Liu Jingpeng got on the yacht without saying a word, and said with a smile: "My General Liu, aren't you afraid of danger when you go out like this?" ”

"What's at stake? The U.S. team here has been cleared, and the mines in the bay have been probed several times, and besides, I'm dressed like this, who knows? Li Xiuyan pointed to the civilian clothes on his body, smiled and waved his hand to start the boat.

The yacht began to go deep into the bay, and seeing that there were no longer so many mouths and ears around, Liu Jingpeng hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "General Liu, you are well-informed, you tell me, how are the negotiations?" ”

"What? Do you care so much about negotiations? ”

"I cared about ......." Liu Jingpeng slapped a big tuǐ and complained: "I want to talk for a few more days, you look at the mess, I'm too busy, even my wife is ...... Ay! ”

Li Xiuyan laughed, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Liu Jingpeng's chatter, because now the army is spreading a sentence, "Rather provoke the king of Hades and don't meet Lao Liu", which is what this guy is talking about, and it is said that even several commanders have detoured when they see him now.

"Don't worry, it's not so."

"Oh, what? Britain and the United States still dare to their tails? ”

"Cocked tail? Hum! Li Xiuyan snorted coldly, looked at the Lexington-class battleship outside the port of Newbōt, which was coming out of the water little by little and had almost half of the completion, and said: "The soldiers have all received the armistice order, and all the weapons have begun to be handed in gradually, how can they still their tails?" Even if you think about it, you don't understand this, soldiers sometimes have to rely on the courage of the group, once they stop, there is no hope of fighting, and now even if you let them pick up their guns again, I am afraid that they will not have the courage to pull the trigger again. ”

"Then why didn't it end like that?" Liu Jingpeng asked curiously.

"The asking price is high." Li Xiuyan swept around, saw that the guards didn't pay attention to this, leaned over to his ear and said: "Germany's asking price is too high, they proposed to cover all the African colonies of Britain, France and other countries, and also demanded strategic places such as Gibraltar and the Azores, and asked Britain, the United States and France to compensate a total of 850 billion gold marks. ”

"850 billion!"

Liu Jingpeng jumped up directly when he heard this number, you must know that this does not include the compensation of other countries, according to this ratio, it will be trillions of gold marks! It's dark enough, since the landing, almost everything in the occupied area has been removed, and now the whole of the United States has been sealed and packed, but even so, plus the newly arrived American silver reserves, it has not exceeded 30 billion gold marks!

According to the exchange rate of 1 to 2 to 7 pounds, gold marks and blue coins before the war, 850 billion gold marks is 425 billion pounds sterling, 2,975 billion blue coins! If this number is not direct, then according to the blue coin and gold fixed 1 yuan for 1 gram, that is 29,750 tons of gold! It is necessary to use ten 10,000-ton ships that can load 3,000 tons of goods at a time!

God, you can't make that much money by selling Britain, the United States and France in the heyday of the pre-war period!

If you want all the colonies of other people, and you want so much money and gold, you almost snatch back all your wives and women! Black, it's really black, it seems that I haven't learned and comprehended enough!

I'll go back to those guys and study it again to see if we can sell the "uninhabited land" of the United States to other countries.

Just when Liu Jingpeng was dripping 850 billion gold marks, Li Xiuyan frowned, pointed to several British-flagged transport ships docked at the dock not far away, and asked, "How can there be British ships?" ”

"Oh, I'm here to pick up the soldiers." Liu Jingpeng hurriedly introduced that after announcing that he had laid down his arms, in order to pick up the 50,000 British North American Expeditionary Force sent to support the United States, the British government contacted the Chinese Admiralty, and promised to let Britain send a ship to pick it up after promising to hand over all the weapons.

On the dock, Allenby, who was once high-spirited, also saw the yacht passing in front of him, and there was an indescribable pain in his heart.

After nearly four years, from Mesopotamia to Russia, and then set foot in North America, he did not expect that the war would be lost, although it was only a truce on the surface, but he knew very well that this time Britain might pay a price unimaginable to ordinary people.

With his eyes, he knew that there might be an important person on the yacht, but it was impossible to use any brains, because as long as he looked at the soldiers behind him who were depressed and only wanted to go home as soon as possible, he could understand that if someone did something to the Huada people at this moment, maybe they would jump out to prevent a war or the terrible Liverpool tragedy.

"Ahem......." Coughing rang out from the queue almost incessantly, as if to avoid infection, the Chinese soldiers in custody next to them were all wearing masks.

"Masson...... Marston! ”

Just as Allenby watched the yacht go a little away, a soldier who was ready to get on the boat suddenly collapsed from the queue after coughing twice, and his comrades immediately surrounded him and did the rescue work.

"What's wrong?"

"General, Sergeant Masson fainted, he seems to be badly burned."

"Damn! Let him....... Allenby looked at Mason who fell to the ground, and for some reason always felt that something was wrong, in fact, during this time he felt very abnormal, many soldiers had a strange cold, coughing all the time, and some even died unconsciously.

In order not to let the cold spread, Allenby thought about it and was just about to let Masson stay in the United States, but before he finished speaking, he was surrounded by several soldiers and begged: "General, let him get on the boat, his wife is waiting for him to go back in Birmingham!" Please rest assured that we will take care of him and he can stay with us until the stern of the boat so that the infection can be avoided. ”

Looking at the pleading soldiers, and then at the soldiers who were eager to go home, Allenby relented and finally nodded. But he didn't know that it was because of this nod that a terrible plague of the century had arrived in Europe.

According to later British documents, the cargo ship, which carried more than 1,500 soldiers of the British North American Expeditionary Force, had already died of influenza by the time it arrived at Portsmouth Harbor, and most of the remaining soldiers were also sick.

"That's right." Li Xiuyan, who saw this scene, also didn't know how much impact this incident would have, so he suddenly turned his head and smiled: "My big boss Liu, I heard that you are worried about transportation capacity recently?" ”

"Not really." As soon as he heard that someone finally took pity on himself, Liu Jingpeng burst into tears: "It will take seven or eight thousand kilometers from China to the West Coast, and it will be far from Panama to here!" The Strait of Gibraltar hasn't opened for the time being, isn't it embarrassing for me! ”

Li Xiuyan smiled, blinked his eyes, and then suddenly hooked his fingers again: "I'm going back to China soon, I'm worried about what gifts to bring to the emperor and my eldest brother, what kind of advice does Boss Liu have?" ”

"See the outside, see the outside!" Boss Liu is a good person, not to mention that Li Xiuyan is still the emperor's godbrother, so he immediately took out the small book that he had been cherishing from his pocket and handed it over: "These things were all searched from the homes of collectors and collaborators and war criminals, and they are about to be brought back to China and handed over to the Prime Minister's Office for disposal, why don't you pick a few?" ”

"You see, this is a pure gold scepter from the South American rainforest soil more than a hundred years ago, and there are many spells on it that are said to be very mysterious, and it is very expensive."

"And this one, the crown of the princess left by the Wessex dynasty in England, was brought to the United States by British merchants."

"Yes, yes, and this one, it's a big one, it's a portable saber used by Louis XVI, I've seen it, it's all gems, it's worth a fortune."

Li Xiuyan, who wanted to pick a few pieces at random, didn't expect Liu Jingpeng to hide so many good things, plus he was originally going to give them to the emperor as a gift, so after picking seventeen or eighteen good things immediately, he came up with a point to solve the transportation difficulties.

"It's not been a day or two since the opening of the Navy's Guantanamo Bay, and now it's really empty."

"That's right!" Liu Jingpeng patted his head and secretly scolded himself for being too stupid, always thinking about transporting things back to China, but forgetting that he could transport them to the Guantanamo base first and transfer them slowly. You must know that it is a pure imperial base, and it is also one of the selected future stations of the Fifth Fleet, so no matter how bold others are, they will not dare to move.

With Li Xiuyan's reminder, the North American trading company began to organize a large number of ships to and from Guantanamo and the East Coast of the United States, and at the peak of the period, about 1,000 ships came and went on this route, so that the transportation distance was shortened by seventy, and the relocation work was greatly accelerated, and the only thing that did not feel pain was the Fifth Fleet, because a huge amount of materials needed to be transferred from here slowly, so it was not until a year later that the Fifth Fleet was stationed.

Such a "busy" North America even aroused the jealousy of Germany, and at the Istanbul meeting, the German delegation hinted more than once that Hua was too much, but the delegation headed by Yan Fu and Feng Qi surprisingly did not have any justification on this issue, just a sentence.

"Confiscate military supplies."

The distressing thing is the major American corporations, who have even begun to attack the government's truce measures, so much so that now they can only watch the Chinese army sweep away the dàn-style banditry with the help of artillery.

For the U.S. government, distress is distress, but after Hua made it clear that these things could offset part of the reparations, his eyes turned to negotiations.

Money can be regained, machines can be rebuilt when they are gone, factories can be rebuilt when they are gone, but for Britain, the United States and France, the figures of all the colonies and 850 billion gold marks proposed by Germany are really too appalling!

If they really pay this money, they won't have to do anything in the next 30 years, and they will concentrate on working for China and Germany.

Just as the Entente shook its head at Germany's conditional choice, Hua, one of the two giants of the Alliance, also threw out his own additional demands in addition to reparations.

First, China accepted all the Asian colonies of the Entente countries!

Second, the United States ceded Alaska and California.

Third, to return to the Mexican government the Mexican lands illegally occupied during the Mexican-American War.

Fourth, the West Coast states of Washington and Oregon were opened up as non-military free trade zones.

Fifth, establish a north-south air no-fly zone from Arizona, Mexico, Oklahoma, Akon Sè, Tennessee to North Carolina, and allow the Southern government to govern itself on the basis of not detaching from the state!

Sixth, establish the Florida Black Free Zone, where blacks are allowed to govern themselves to reduce violence such as racial discrimination in the United States.

Seventh, Canada ceded the Arctic Ocean's Aénsen Bay to Juneau's Yukon River region and half of the Maj Mountains!

Eighth, France ceded Madagascar and Reunion and other French colonies in the African region of the Indian Ocean!

Ninth, Britain and France ceded control to Malta in the Mediterranean, the southern Indian Ocean, Bermuda, Kerguelen Island, Crozere Island, Armstrong Island, King Edward Island, South Georgia and other areas in the South Atlantic.

Tenth, South Africa and Gibraltar will be entrusted to China for a period of 30 years!

11. Britain, the United States, France, and other countries are completely prohibited from building and developing aircraft carriers, from developing and equipping submarines, from developing and equipping offensive air forces, from limiting the size of their navies (the exact scale will depend on the needs of each country's environment and territorial security), from limiting the total number of land forces and placing them under the supervision of the alliance, from suppressing the development of other weak and small political parties in the country, and from prohibiting racial discrimination.

12. Giving preferential treatment to China, reducing or exempting customs taxes to reduce discrimination and state protection, and other acts that undermine the free economy, hinder normal trade in any form and under any pretext, and open up domestic ports and shipping industries.

13. To grant visa-free treatment to Chinese nationals, and to restrict the legitimate trade and tourism of Chinese companies, enterprises and individuals by any means.

14. All countries must return Chinese cultural relics and state property that they have illegally occupied.
