E: Do you still have a monthly pass? ()

In fact, the United States is only one step ahead of the move to establish diplomatic relations with the CSOC government, and other powers are actually considering it. It's just that they are not as urgent as the United States. A tyrant like the Yankees can be shameless, and these old powers still have to think about face.

Moreover, the United States has the least interests in China, so it has fewer concerns, and even if they give up all the unequal interests of the past, it will be a profit for them, and it can be said that they will be satisfied. The attitude of the CSD is very clear, they do not accept unequal treaties, and if they want to keep the previous treaties, they will definitely not be able to negotiate, so the old powers are more hesitant and are still thinking about whether it is cost-effective.

But since the United States started this start, there are one and two. Just a few days after the Sino-US joint announcement, the Germans came to the door. Although Erdezi also needs a partner now, he is obviously not as anxious as Eagle Sauce, their meaning is very simple, first they want to buy an airship, and at the same time buy drawings and technology. Secondly, they are also very interested in the PLA aircraft and the equipment of the 6th Army, and hope to inspect them, and if suitable, they can buy some physical goods and technologies.

When he started talking to the Americans, it was Wen Deji who personally stepped in. However, in this negotiation with the Germans, the negotiator sent by the CSD was the Minister of Public Relations Cavour, although the Germans were a little surprised that a Westerner was a negotiator of the CSO, but they were relieved to think of their relationship with the United States.

But after half an hour of negotiations, the Germans indignantly labeled Cavure a "traitor". Look at your girl's appearance is also a Yali Nunnery, is there such a way that you sell your compatriots? This ass is completely crooked to the Chinese, and it is really a lying mud horse

At that time, Erdezi's diplomatic methods for me in the Qing Dynasty had always been mainly blackmail and threats, but these methods were useless to a foreigner, and the Germans couldn't figure out where Cavour came from. The United States is a second-class country, and if it does not negotiate well, it will collapse. Erdezi had a plan to win over the United States a long time ago, but because Niu Niu's face was not good, it was too obvious, so it was naturally not easy to offend casually.

The Germans naturally felt constrained in the negotiations, and Carfur proposed that airship technology was the most important national defense technology of our country and could only be shared with friendly countries. The criteria for friendly countries are: the establishment of diplomatic relations at least at the level of ministers, the abolition of an unequal treaty, support for China's tariff autonomy, and the exemption of Gengzi indemnity.

This is obviously copying the conditions of the United States, in the eyes of Germany, this is completely the lion's mouth-opening sky-high asking price, not to mention other terms, this exemption from Gengzi indemnity is too much. Germany accounted for 2 of the Gengzi reparations. % scoop share, second only to Russia. According to the total amount of 1o billion taels of compensation, they can get 200 million taels of silver, and only now have they got more than 300 million taels, and they have to give up 300 million taels of compensation, which is too much, although the airship technology is indeed very high, but it is not worth nearly 200 million taels.

Erdezi is not the same as a tyrant like the United States. The United States has a lot of money, belongs to the kind of local tyrants who have money and can't find a place to spend, what it lacks is a small partner who can fight, there is no shortage of money at all, and they only account for 3% of the spoon share in the indemnity, so naturally you can generously say "Brother is not short of these, today it depends on the brother, this debt will be forgiven."

And Germany is now holding back its strength to engage in a shipbuilding competition with Britain, and is busy making dumplings. The expenses are too great, how can you get rid of so much money in one go. Therefore, they did not agree to the article "exempting Gengzi from compensation" anyway.

As for the other three, although the first one, "establishing diplomatic relations at least at the level of ministers", is a bit face-hurting, the Yankees have already made a start, and it is not unacceptable if they follow up on their own. Article 2 "Abolition of an unequal treaty" can be partially accepted, and this can be discussed in detail, and there is no need for extraterritoriality, concessions, or anything, but the Qingdao leased land cannot be abandoned. Article 3, "Supporting China's Tariff Independence," is not a problem at all, because China's tariffs are mainly controlled by the United Kingdom, and Germany is willing to do things that can make Britain unhappy.

The first day of negotiations did not make much progress, and without saying anything, Cavour invited them to visit a medium-sized PLA exercise. This exercise was specially prepared for the Germans, and the 6th Army of the Air Force took part in a special demonstration, and the airship aircraft and the weapons of the 6th Army were especially demonstrated. This time, more than two-thirds of the German delegation consisted of officers and engineers, and this exercise made their eyes shine.

In particular, the anti-trench warfare demonstrated by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the use of new weapons such as grenadiers, howitzers, grenades, mortars, unconscionable guns, submachine guns, rocket launchers, recoilless guns, and flamethrowers made the Erde people very happy. Of course, what made them itch the most was the performance of the air force, whether it was the destruction of the fortress by the array of "air cruisers" armed with airships, or the dive bombing of the fortress and trenches by the planes, and the licking of the ground by machine guns, all of which made them excited. At the same time, the officers and men of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) showed their combat effectiveness and military qualities during the exercise, which made the two sons of the two virtues secretly palpitate.

This exercise, on the one hand, is to show off new weapons, and on the other hand, it is to show off muscles. The so-called trick of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" does not hold true between countries, if you really hide your strength, then the other party will really slaughter you as a fat pig. The muscles should be bright, and "holding on to Qi Dance" was a practice known to the ancients thousands of years ago.

During the second negotiation, the attitude of the two sons changed greatly. Cavour made it very clear that these new weapons and supporting new tactics can and will only be open to friends in China, and if Germany wants to get these, then it must show the sincerity of being a friend.

The German delegation had been discussing these days, and when it heard Cavour's request, it immediately said that these conditions could be negotiated, but it needed to ask for instructions from China and ask for a few days to adjourn the meeting. Cavour knew they were tempted, so he smiled and agreed.

The two sons immediately reported the situation in detail to Wilhelm II at home, and emphasized the combat effectiveness of the PLA, which they believed was a modern army no less than that of the European powers, and it was not at all the squadrons that they had seen before.

And according to current intelligence, the number of this modern army has exceeded 4o. The 40,000 modern 6th Army, which is no less than or even more equipped than many powers, is a decisive force that cannot be ignored. And it is also expanding the army aggressively, and it is said that after the expansion is completed next year, the number will reach 80,000

Three days later, the German delegation received instructions from home and resumed negotiations. This time the Germans made a lot of concessions, they agreed to the first and third articles proposed by the CSD government, accepted most of the second clause, except for the Qingdao lease, all other concessions could be returned to China, and they followed the example of the United States, renunciating an unequal treaty in the jurisdiction of the southwestern autonomous government, renunciating extraterritoriality and other privileges. For the Gengzi indemnity, half of the amount of the indemnity can be waived, but this half can only be the part that should be apportioned within the jurisdiction of the Southwest Autonomous Government, and the Qing court and other areas ruled by Chinese power are not included, and those that have already been paid are not counted.

After combining the information reported by the German domestic line, the CSD discussed it and believed that this was almost the bottom line of Germany, and basically agreed. Originally, when I talked with the great powers this time, the most important thing was to get back the tariff independence, and it didn't matter if the concession could get it back, anyway, after the start of the First World War, these guys would beg China to take it back. As for the indemnity, on the contrary, Wen Desi cares the most, money is paper, and the workload of the Third Printing Factory in one day is enough to pay compensation for more than ten years.

On November 2, 196, the Southwest Autonomous Government of China and Germany jointly announced that the two sides had signed the "New Treaty between China and Southwest" and that the two sides had established diplomatic relations at the ministerial level. Germany will renounce its extraterritoriality, consular jurisdiction, and other privileges brought about by the unequal treaty with the Qing court, and will transfer to the Southwest Autonomous Government the former German concessions within its jurisdiction. Support the Southwestern Autonomous Government to regain customs power and tariff autonomy. The portion of the original Gengzi indemnity that should be apportioned to the territory under the jurisdiction of the Southwest Autonomous Government shall be reduced by 6 for the unpaid balance

In addition, China (Southwest) and Germany continue to carry out balanced trade, with an annual share of no less than 200 million marks (1.6 million pounds). Germany provided a low-interest loan of 200 million marks to the autonomous government of southwest China, which was in the nature of assistance, and the loan was undiscounted, with an annual interest rate, to be repaid in two years. At least 75 of them are used to buy German products.

Of course, there is also the undisclosed part, which is the military cooperation between the two sides. China provided Germany with airships, airplanes, and a complete set of drawings and production processes of the new weapons of the 6th Army on display, as well as some physical samples, and accepted the inspection team sent by Germany to exchange new tactics in China (in fact, it was study, but Erdezi said it was "exchange" for the sake of face). The cost of technology transfer, materials and exchange fees (tuition fees) for these things is 30,000 pounds, which Germany will deduct in kind with large-caliber guns, machine tools, production lines and merchant ships.

Immediately after, Germany pulled Austria-Hungary over as well. Austria-Hungary was originally a soy sauce player in China, with fewer interests than the United States, and more freely than Germany. The two sides soon signed the "Sino-Austrian New Treaty", the content of this treaty is similar to that of Germany, except that Austria-Hungary gave up all the Gengzi indemnities in the southwestern autonomous government areas, because they only accounted for the indemnity O8 and did not have more than Belgium, and there was not much money at all. This is negligible compared to the profit from the 2o million pounds a year from balanced trade. And they're also interested in airships.

What's more, a few months ago, the CSD also placed a large order of 20,000 pounds for their Skoda company, the purchase of two large-caliber naval guns, UMM multiplier diameter and 2um6 times diameter, as well as the development and order of two large-caliber naval guns, -1OMM 45 times diameter and 3um6 times diameter.

The southwestern government transferred airship technology to them at a price of 20,000 pounds, and this amount was also required to be deducted in kind with large-caliber guns, machine tools, production lines and merchant ships.

After the signing of the new treaty between China and Germany and China and Austria, Britain, France and other powers finally could not sit still. If everyone ignores the CSD, that's fine, but once the opponent makes contact with them, he has to react.

So on November 1o, 196, the British delegation also arrived in Neijiang.
