Chapter 121 War and Chat (3)
I want to know how you plan to deal with our Far East Fleet in Jiaozhou Bay? p|Barland asked.
"Your fleet attacked our Qing Dynasty Beiyang Navy, causing immeasurable losses. I must take some action. Therefore, before taking necessary actions, I hope you can notify your Far East fleet. As long as you put down your weapons and surrender, I will guarantee their personal safety!" Zhang Yunfei replied.
After hearing Zhang Yunfei's unreasonable request, German ambassador Baland immediately glared and said, "This is impossible. No one can order the Germans to put down their weapons and surrender, even those British guys can't do it!"
Seeing Baland glaring at him, Zhang Yunfei thought to himself: 'Everyone says that the German guy is like Erlingzi, it's true. This guy is still an ambassador! Why don't you know that the negotiating table is asking for a lot of prices on one side and sitting on the other side to pay back the money! It seems that you can't get any more water when negotiating with the German guy, so you have to make a fuss."
Zhang Yunfei shook his head and said, "You should be very clear that your country has occupied the Jiaoao region of our country and has attacked our Beiyang Navy again. You can't just forget it!"
Seeing that Zhang Yunfei was biting Germany's weakness, Balander was still unwilling to do so, and he was in a disadvantage, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Finally, Baland had to bite the bullet and answer: "In this Jiaoao area, our government is just renting it out and has no intention of forcing it to occupy it. The conflict with the Beiyang Navy was purely a misunderstanding, just a coincidence."
Seeing this guy who didn't know how to get into the position of ambassador, Zhang Yunfei could only smile secretly in his heart. So he asked: "Even if it's a fire, you have to have an explanation! We Chinese have a saying that "kill people to pay for their lives, and pay for their debts." Your country's general will give some explanations and statements!"
In terms of talking, how did the German Ambassador Barland be the opponent of Zhang Yunfei, a future man, lose to Zhang Yunfei in terms of momentum from the beginning. Now he is being restrained step by step and gradually fall into the trap set by Zhang Yunfei for him.
"This, we apologize for the huge losses caused by the Beiyang Navy. Our country can compensate the warships and personnel that your country has lost," said Baland.
Yes! As long as you are willing to spend money, everything will be easy to do, so I can explain it to the Chinese people, right?
"For your country's sincerity, just accompany 300 pounds!" Zhang Yunfei said frankly.
"No. Too many. The broken ships in Beiyang are all worth 300 yuan. I don't agree!" Balander said loudly when he saw Zhang Yunfei's lion and refused directly.
"Mr. Baland. We are now in political negotiations. We are not doing business on the street. You have to think it through." Zhang Yunfei said seriously.
"Uh... that can't be that much! 100 GB. No matter how much it is, it won't work." Baland said directly.
"First price! 150 brigades! You Germans are so rich. You are not short of these 500,000 brigades." Zhang Yunfei said shamelessly.
"Uh... OK! I agree!" Ambassador Barland had to admit that Zhang Yun's enclave was shameless.
"Since your country is willing to compensate for the losses and casualties of the Beiyang Navy, it will be easy to deal with this conflict, and our country will not be too much to pursue it." Zhang Yunfei said with a calm expression, and his heart was already full of joy.
Seeing that Zhang Yunfei stopped pursuing it, Baland also knew that the German Far East Fleet had been preserved, and thought to himself: 'This Zhang Yunfei is indeed the legendary thing to look at money.' So he said: "Thank you for your tolerance. On behalf of the German government and the Far East Fleet, I thank you!"
Zhang Yunfei waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me for the first time. The conflict has been resolved, but the matter in Jiaoao has not been dealt with yet!"
"This, our government has absolutely no intention of forcing Jiaoao. We just rent it to protect our expatriates and avoid resurrecting things like the Caozhou lesson plan." Ambassador Barland explained hurriedly.
‘It would be strange if you believe in you!’ Zhang Yunfei thought to himself.
However, at the moment, he really has no ability to deal with this Germany. He is thinking about how to ravage Japan and guard against Russia. Faced with Russia's huge military pressure, Zhang Yunfei felt the power of a big country. Even a big country like Russia, which is about to become a second-rate country, made Zhang Yunfei breathless.
Take your time and everything will be fine.
Zhang Yunfei said: "Mr. Baland, I believe that your country does not want to occupy Jiaoao area, but rent it. But renting it must have a period and price! What do you think?"
Seeing Zhang Yunfei taking the opportunity to quarrel, German Ambassador Barland had no choice but to make the German Navy unable to compete with Zhang Yunfei? And how could the German Navy's plan be completed? I could only watch Zhang Yunfei's quarrel.
"Of course, the Duke is right. There must be a rental fee for renting. The German government hopes to be able to rent 9 Ambassador Rand said.
"If you want to rent it for 99 years, yes, you have to calculate how much." Zhang Yunfei pulled his fingers and calculated with interest.
German ambassador Baland rolled his eyes and thought to himself: 'This is a political negotiation, not a business on the street, so don't be so detailed!'
I heard Zhang Yunfei pouting in his mouth: "Jiaozhou Bay is an excellent harbor."
Liancheng, if you rent it, you will charge 100,000 pounds every year! Dozens of surrounding areas)) 1 square kilometer of land, 80,000 residents, countless mineral deposits, which are cheaper, can be considered 10 brisk! If the lease period is 99 years, your country will have to pay 1,980 brisk, and you will get a discount! Even if it is 20 million brisk!"
German Ambassador Baland was speechless...
I thought to myself: "This Zhang Yunfei is too shameless! I just said it was a political negotiation, not a business, but now it's the other way around. What's even more depressing is that the discounts are getting higher and higher?"
"This is too high! And the lease period is not possible to pay it in one go for 99 years!" said Baland.
"Let's do it! If you pay for it every 30 years, you will be counted as 5 million pounds. If you pay it every 50 years, you will be counted as 850 pounds. If you pay it in one lump sum, how about 12 million pounds?" Zhang Yunfei started a discount service again.
He knew in his heart that in another ten years, the war would break out, and the Germans would fight with Britain, and all the territory would be taken back. Now Zhang Yunfei was just thinking about how to cheat the Germans' money in his pocket.
When Baland saw that Zhang Yunfei was simply a profiteer, he felt speechless again, but if he could really settle it with money, it would be a victory for Baland.
Germany is currently the largest economic power in Europe, second only to the world's largest United States. So to be honest, Baland really didn't like this little money, it was just a matter of making a fuss. While Zhang Yunfei was cheering his appetite, he was also cheering Zhang Yunfei's appetite. This is negotiation, which made the other party think that he took advantage. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that if they could find a balance, they declared the negotiation successful.
War is just a continuation of political negotiations. No matter how cruel and huge the war is, it must be resolved through chatting between the two sides at the negotiating table.
"12 million pounds plus the previous £1.5 million, a total of 1,350 pounds. The two sides will lift the state of war and rent it to the German Navy for 99 years. I'm right! Your Excellency the Duke!" asked the German Ambassador Barland.
"Of course!" Zhang Yunfei replied.
"Then, that's the decision!" said Ambassador Barland.
"Trade!" Zhang Yunfei stretched out his hand to Baland.
"Trade!" Baland also stretched out his hand to Zhang Yunfei.
In this way, when Zhang Yunfei and Baland's hands were tightly held together, it was declared that Germany's forced occupation of Jiaozhou Bay became a fact.
Zhang Yunfei wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare to take risks. He was no longer a bachelor now. There was a huge interest group behind him, and if he was accidentally bleeding, he would be in a situation.
Now that Zhang Yunfei wants to fully fight against Russia's military pressure, he can only let go of other things before defeating Russia. Sometimes, as a leader, he will inevitably face many difficult things to choose, which requires making up his mind, sacrificing his ego, and completing the self first.
Zhang Yunfei felt very upset when he compromised to the outside world, and he thought fiercely: 'Damn, you all wait for me, wait until I finish cleaning up Russia and Japan, and then come back to repair you guys one by one!'
Subsequently, German Ambassador Baland returned the negotiation results to the German government and asked the German government for approval from Emperor William II.
Unexpectedly, the German government responded quite quickly and fully agreed to Ambassador Barland's contract.
The happy German ambassador Baland hurriedly came back to sign with Zhang Yunfei. When Zhang Yunfei looked at the terms of the secret agreement that had been prepared, he felt extremely painful.
I thought to myself: 'God, I'm fooled. The German guy approved it so quickly, which means that the price he wants is too low. He ***, if he had known it, he would have slaughtered it harder. He was depressed, so he had to pass a contract back and forth a few times, and then change it twice to make it reasonable! I passed it the first time, I really can't stand it!"
Zhang Yunfei, who looked heartbroken, had to sign the secret agreement reluctantly, and the "Honolulu and Germany-German Secret Agreement" officially came into effect.
Although Zhang Yunfei felt sorry for not being able to kill the Germans, he was more happy. It would be better if he didn't go to war with Germany. If the war started and the German Emperor William II was annoying, it would be a bad thing. William is a stubborn guy who never admits defeat. It is not Zhang Yunfei's strategy to establish so many powerful enemies now. It is not Zhang Yunfei's strategy that cannot shift Germany's goal elsewhere. Germany must continue to fight with Britain until the world war breaks out.
After reaching an agreement with Germany, Zhang Yunfei hurriedly sent a telegram to the Qing Dynasty Military Affairs Office, demanding that the Qing army green camp soldiers on the front line of Jiaoao stopped the war against Germany.
After receiving Zhang Yunfei's telegram, the Military Aircraft Office was naturally very happy. Because the declaration of war on Germany was originally a trap they deliberately put on Zhang Yunfei's strength and consumed with Germany. Regardless of the result, Zhang Yunfei's fault was decided. Now that Zhang Yunfei has come to ask for a ceasefire, they naturally follow the instructions. The orders obtained by the front line were to announce and not fight, but now they are just stepping down, and Zhang Yunfei will take over everything. (To be continued,)
