1890 King of Southeast Asia

On January 20, the negotiations officially began.

The negotiation site was in Ryukyu, in the Ryukyu Royal Palace.

This place has become a tourist attraction, with special people repairing and maintaining it, but there are not many tourists. After all, ancient style is not popular at this time, and high-rise buildings are the king.

The representatives of Qing and Japan are Tang Shaochuan and Lin Dong, old friends, and both of them have participated in or presided over the war negotiations between Qing and Japan many times, so they can be said to be familiar with each other.

"Under the witness of countries around the world, the Japanese Empire and the Qing Empire stopped the war and sat at the negotiation table for peace..." Lin Pingzhi also presided over the negotiations with ease.

Lin Pingzhi used to wonder why Nanhua always had to intervene in these thankless things. He understood it only after participating in more things.

Although Nanhua did not get much benefit on the surface, the frequent hosting and participation in various meetings or negotiations made Nanhua's influence grow unknowingly.

"Now, both sides state their demands." Lin Pingzhi sat aside, looking like he had nothing to do with the matter.

There was nothing to worry about in this negotiation. If Japan still wanted to fight, it would have to expand the scale of the war, but it could no longer afford it, not to mention that someone was drooling over North Korea.

If nothing unexpected happened, the Qing Empire only needed to spit out a little benefit this time, and after a few more days of grinding, this boring meeting would be over.

"We despise Japan's unprovoked provocation of war. We demand that Japan and its affiliated forces return all looted gains and compensate us for our losses in the war.

Including personnel pensions, building damage, and materials stored in official warehouses in various places, a total of 350 million taels of silver."

Tang Shaochuan took the initiative. He knew that the Japanese pirates would definitely ask for a lot of money, and it would not be so effective to just talk about reason.

In particular, he vaguely felt that Nanhua was not as active as before in this matter, but was more businesslike.

"Impossible, this is irrational. I have been engaged in diplomacy for more than 20 years. I have only heard of defeated countries paying compensation to victorious countries, and never heard of victorious countries paying compensation to defeated countries.

We require that if the Qing Empire wants peace, it should pay 230 million taels of silver to Japan for military expenses, personnel pensions, etc.

At the same time, the Qing Empire should cede the actual occupied area of ​​the Japanese army, that is, the territory east of the Jinzhou-Tongliao line and south of Chuncheng to Japan, and Japan guarantees to end the war and maintain friendship between the two countries."

Director Lin packaged himself as a victorious country in a few words, and he was also very confident because the British Foreign Secretary secretly met with the Japanese ambassador to the UK and supported them in fighting for their deserved interests.

"Mr. Lin, the goal of our meeting this time is to end the war, not one country surrendering to another. If you really want to decide the winner and then negotiate, you can continue to fight." Lin Pingzhi frowned.

If he didn't speak, either the two would entangle on this issue, or set the tone, but in that case, the meaning of mediation would change.

"Mr. Lin Pingzhi, our imperial army has occupied hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of Qing Empire. Until half an hour before the negotiation, the telegram sent back from the front line did not hear the news of the Qing army launching a counterattack." Director Lin said indifferently.

With the endorsement of the British and the support of the Americans, Director Lin was extremely inflated.

"It's up to you, but if this peace treaty becomes a surrender agreement, Nanhua will unilaterally cancel this negotiation and list Japan as a dishonest country." Lin Pingzhi looked at Director Lin angrily.

"Hey! We think that Japan's demands are not unreasonable. After all, Japan still occupies several cities in Qing and hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of territory."

Lin Pingzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at the person who was speaking-the British representative John.

Sitting next to him was the French representative, who was nodding in agreement, as if he recognized the words of the British.

"If that's the case, Nanhua will have to consider its position in this mediation. After all, this is not in line with our initial expectations. Otherwise... Nanhua will withdraw first?" Lin Pingzhi looked at the two for a long time and finally cheered up.

"Of course, Japan's conditions are a bit excessive and should be appropriately reduced..." The Frenchman stood up to smooth things over.

But he never mentioned victory or defeat.

In this society of natural selection, the victorious country has the inherent right to deal with the defeated country. It only needs to stand firm on this issue, and it doesn't matter if it loses some benefits temporarily.

At most, after the treaty is established, the treaty can be modified before the loser reacts.

"Gentlemen, Nanhua will temporarily withdraw from this negotiation. If you want, you can continue to negotiate here. We welcome it." Lin Pingzhi packed up his things, ignored the eyes of others, pushed open the door and left directly.

"Pingzhi, how about this? We organized the negotiation, but we left in the middle. It sounds awkward." Outside the door, Zhang Wentao grabbed Lin Pingzhi.

Zhang Wentao has been getting more and more idle in recent years, so he simply joined forces with Liu Wanhua, Chen Jiangtao and others to study history and various cultural relics.

Although the Ryukyu Palace is small, it is the most authentic Chinese classical palace in the land of Nanhua, and it is still very valuable. Zhang Wentao is here recently.

"It's okay, they should have understood that in East Asia, no matter what they do, they should not bypass South China and bypass South China.

"This is really a young man, mentioning anger!" Zhang Wentao nodded fiercely.

The reason why it is idle is not that the body can't hold on, but that the mind cannot keep up with the development of South China. The government's functional departments are increasing and the functions are becoming more and more complete, making it difficult for these old people of these old times to understand.

"but……"

"I go to Her Majesty now that His Majesty will also support this." Lin Pingzhi smiled at Zhang Wentao's embarrassing smile.

"Lin Pingzhi did a good job. As for the British side, let's dry it first, isn't Lin Pingzhi found a reason? Just say that we are discussing the position of South China internally. Praise.

"British and French changes support Japan. This incident may cause some adverse effects. If we do not participate, the Qing Empire is likely to agree with the conditions that Britain and France want." Lin Anmin said.

"It doesn't matter, let the negotiations go on, and give Master Yuan a batch of goods. Britain and France are more worried about the Russians than us." Liu Yiming did not worry about Tang Shaochuan signing some exaggerated treaties.

The war has not yet ended, and the off -war is only due to the mediation of the Three Kingdoms.

What if the war continues? Then take a look at the situation of the battlefield to determine the negotiation conditions. As the Japanese said, they also occupied hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land.

The conditions mentioned in Japan are also mentioned from the perspective of the victory of the country. However, the war has not yet ended, especially in the recent battle, Japan's main force has been suffered significant losses. In this case, does Japan have the courage to break the boat?

"I heard that Japan's last offensive has attacked the main position of the Youth Army, and the Youth Army was seriously casualties. In case they continued, could they keep Shanhaiguan?" Lin Anmin asked curiously.

"It depends on how powerful Japan is." Liu Yiming shook the ash.

"If the limitation of the war in the war will not further expand, there are not many ways to take Shanhaiguan in the Japanese."

"Don't believe that the Japanese's ghost words, what to make concessions for peace, exit the occupied positions. In fact, you can't bear the casualties, you have to retreat."

"The new batch of 800 rounds of 305mm artillery shells has arrived in Shanhaiguan. The second batch of cargo ships have left Hong Kong for a long time. We are transporting north through the railway. possible."

Liu Yiming was disdainful of the Japanese's choice. He even sent the commander of Nai Mu, a stiff head to lead the troops. He only had charge and charge in his head. In addition, he was loyal to the emperor.

Tower reading is small ~. \u003e Say-*-Free*No Guang\u003e No*\u003e Pop-up window, and\u003e-*can be with books ~ friends\u003e@动.

Very typical fascist fascist.

In fact, the Youth Army is very easy to fight. As long as the commander is not so stupid, he is even more stupid, attacking everywhere, and cumulative momentum, which can also make the Qing Army defeat -just like the battle of Fengtian.

Nai Mu looked like you died, and the uninterrupted attack made the Qing soldiers have no time to be afraid. In addition, the Japanese army had a large number of casualties to give the Qingbing courage, which was stalemate in Shanhaiguan.

"What if Japan is not willing to expand the war?" Lin Anmin asked.

"The Qing Empire will be defeated, but Japan will at least mobilize three to five divisions, at least half a month. Now the Japanese are seriously casualties, and it will only be longer.

At that time, the Japanese army went south, North Korea was empty, and the Tsar would not be willing to look at it. Britain and France saw it clearly, so they participated in the mediation and wanted to strengthen Japan. "

"And we don't want Japan to be strengthened, especially in terms of funds. This is different from Britain and France." Lin Anmin nodded and expressed his understanding.

"Let Lin Pingzhi and Yuan Gongbao contacted, and fired a few guns to let the Japanese understand that time is not on them." Liu Yiming added again.

"I will wait, right, in Italy, I hope to give you a grant of the royal medal to thank you for your help to Italy in this disaster."

"The royal medal? Do I need to go to Italy? I don't have time, just give the rescue team's guy." Liu Yiming was a little interested, but after thinking about it, he didn't have time.

On January 2nd, the earthquake occurred in Mexica, Italy. This earthquake killed 200,000 people and a billion US dollar economic losses.

Even the king almost died under the earthquake -the king had just walked through a wall, the aftershocks occurred, and the wall collapsed.

After the earthquake, countries are donating and donating to Italy. South China and Italian relations have always been good. They have donated a large number of foods, medicines and fuels.

Partially transferred from Arab and Mesopotamia to form an engineering rescue team and medical rescue team, and arrived in Italy on the sixth day after the earthquake.

"No, they will arrange the royal family members and hope to set off immediately to send you a New Year gift to thank us for your friendship."

Liu Yiming touched the corner of his mouth and raised slightly.

"Then let them set off."
