Zhu Fugui continued to read this 19th-century newspaper.

Looking at the bizarre news on this, I can feel that I am in the era of robbers more than walking around in the territory of Daming.

Poof—

Looking at it, Zhu Fugui suddenly squirted out a mouthful of milk.

"Why was it so careless!" Yin Susu hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped Zhu Fugui's mouth.

"You can't blame me, Susu, look at this!"

Zhu Fugui pointed to a photo on the second page and said.

"Ah, aren't these Navy cadets? How did they get into the newspapers? Yin Susu didn't know English, but he didn't see anything.

Zhu Fugui explained the reason to her.

It turned out that after a long journey of more than a month, the "Shogunate Apologize Group" finally arrived in Washington, the capital of the Mi Emperor.

As expected, Lincoln was very happy to see the English letter written by Zhu Fugui himself.

At this time, it was the peak of his criticism from domestic public opinion because of the unfavorable war.

Lincoln held a high-profile press conference on the lawn outside the White House to introduce his Japanese friends to the world.

Gaining the support of a great power in the Far East (Japan had a population of 30 million at the time, the same as the United States), whether that country is pulling it apart or not, is a major political plus.

At the press conference, Lincoln read in public a letter from his close friend, General Napoleon "Tokugawa Yoshiki" of the Far East.

Of course, Lincoln abridged the letter as needed.

After all, there is a long article in it, and it is all about "Tokugawa Yoshiki" frantically encouraging the US government to land in Kyoto and kill the emperor.

Such a request was so whimsical that Lincoln certainly wouldn't pronounce it.

He mainly read the "Tokugawa Yoshiki" self-description of how he admired American culture and how he admired the two greatest commanders in American history-

One is George Washington, the founding father, and the other is naturally His Excellency Lincoln, whose virtue is comparable to that of George Washington.

In addition to the flattering rhetoric, the "Tokugawa Keiki" is not a lip service.

He generously said that if Japan wants to become strong as a late-developing country, it cannot do without the support of the big brother of the United States.

Japan has already made up its mind to break away from Asia and join the United States, and has hired American experts to come to Japan to give comprehensive guidance on military, financial, and other reforms.

In order to maintain peace and stability in East Asia and the Pacific, and to secure high-interest loans from the U.S. government, the shogunate government promised the following 21 articles:

1. No land or islands along the coast of the Kanto and Seto Inland Seas shall be ceded or leased to any other country, but only to the United States of Milliamerica.

2. The construction of a railway from Nagoya to the Edo Route by the United States of America.

3. The Government of Japan granted the right to mine the mines north of Fukuyama and Ezo to the subjects of the United States of Milliamerica.

4. If the Japanese government hires political, financial, and military advisers to teach, it must first consult with the United States of America.

5. Subjects of the United States of America may acquire the right of lease and ownership of the land they need for the purpose of building a commercial industrial application in Japan, or for the purpose of farming.

6. All hospitals, temples, schools, etc., of the United States of America established in Japan shall be granted land ownership.

……

These 21 articles were naturally excerpted by Zhu Fugui from the 21 articles signed by the Beiyang government.

To tell the truth, Zhu Fugui really had no experience in betraying the country, so he had to learn from Comrade Yuan again.

Little Japan's conscience was really bad, and Zhu Fugui casually copied some things that were not too excessive, which made Commander Lincoln happy.

The shogunate's weakness exceeded Lincoln's expectations, but if you think about it, the Japanese may have mistaken the French's 36-gun ship for the American.

These East Asians are so ridiculous, they have no understanding of the international situation at all.

Didn't the Chinese ask Russia to "mediate" Britain and France before, and gave away more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land for nothing?

Compared with the Qing Emperor, the shogun did not go out of line at all.

Such a huge military and diplomatic victory is enough to raise the American people's evaluation of the martial virtues of this administration to a higher level.

Lincoln read the letter proudly, and sighed that it was fortunate that the French did not land, but only fired from a distance, so the Japanese recognized the wrong father.

And I wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Although the Oriental people all look similar, I will never mistake them.

Since the little brother of "Tokugawa" gave face in this way, Lincoln also treated the Japanese envoy with courtesy.

Lincoln not only agreed to the shogunate's request for a loan, after all, the real benefit of such high-interest loans, which were secured by national sovereignty and resources, was the Americans.

At the same time, Lincoln also invited representatives of the apology group to speak on stage.

Although Wang Zhonghuang was the head of the regiment, he considered that he was more Chinese, and he was worried that if someone present really knew Japanese, he would have to wear a gang.

So in the end, it was Corporal Morishita who came to power and found out.

And the photo Zhu Fugui saw was Corporal Morishita glaring angrily, speaking with great spirit.

It's just a transliteration of the text below the picture......

"América, all Kuruth, absolute mud!"

And the English translation is: "America is amazing, we will love it forever!" ”

……

Zhu Fugui didn't expect that this Morishita with thick eyebrows and big eyes was actually a yin and yang person.

To say that he was too bold, if there was really someone present who understood Japanese, wouldn't he die on the spot?

He himself was poked into more than a dozen holes by the Yankees, and it was nothing if his head was made into a wine glass, the elite of the Ming Naval Division, and my two big warships were finished!

For such an impulsive young samurai, it is indeed a headache.

It is no wonder that the Japanese government is always coerced by them to gamble on the fortunes of the country.

Fortunately, judging from the fact that both the photos and the text were published, it is true that no one in the United States at this time understood Japanese.

At least in the United States, there are very few such people.

In fact, Zhu Fugui estimated that even if Morishita scolded Lincoln's eight-life ancestors in English, Americans might not be able to understand it.

After all, Japanese English is too hard to describe.

It is said that at the Paris Peace Conference after World War I, the Chinese diplomat Gu Weijun won a round of applause in standard and fluent English.

Next up was Japanese diplomat Nobuaki Makino.

The second son of Okubo Ritsu was about to leave the meeting with a mouthful of Japanese English, but was stopped by the host and asked him to say it again in English.

This made the Japanese earl furious, and shouted, "I'm speaking English, not Japanese!" ”

Such historical allusions can always make Chinese laugh and laugh and cry.

Because the ultimate competition in diplomacy is not whether there is an English standard or not, but the strength of the country behind the diplomat.

Coming on ten aircraft carriers, even in Mauritanian, can still sign a favorable contract.

Otherwise, you can only be a vase like Gu Weijun.

Sighing, Zhu Fugui glanced at the date on the news, which was already ten days ago.

In other words, as long as Morishita and the others are not cold, then they should have learned to drive warships at the New York Navy Shipyard by now.

Let's hope Donald can get in touch with them soon.

After all, it is very difficult for 50 academies to drive two warships and ten transport ships back, and they must prepare in advance.

Just when Zhu Fugui put down the newspaper and was about to enjoy the toast poached eggs made by Lao Li, suddenly a very inconspicuous international news entered Zhu Fugui's field of vision.

[Shi, a Chinese rebel general, was captured in Chengdu, and after a closed trial, he was tortured and executed by Ling Chi in Chengdu. 】

[It is reported that a large number of people were arrested with Shi, including his five-year-old son, and according to Qing law, he may be able to avoid the death penalty.] 】
