(Thanks to book friends for the autumn rain, getting rid of confusion, dragon roaring, tiger roaring, cj6005 monthly ticket!)
The British ambassador to China Ogner showed an arrogant smile on his face. The British Empire is the world's number one, and the British Empire's navy is cruising on the major oceans of the world, safeguarding the interests of the British Empire. No country dares to provoke the great day and night.
Luo Empire. Liang Xingrong's answer made Ogner very satisfied. Even though China has begun to rise, the Far East is still the UK has the final say.
Although Liang Xingrong was very frustrated and angry, he had to express his compromise. It would be of no benefit to China today. Once a war broke out, China's navy would only end up in destruction and the coastal cities would be transformed.
It is a ruin. Although the Chinese army is powerful, it cannot fight to the British mainland. Without the strength to fight in full confrontation with Britain, China can only temporarily endure it.
The British navy is extremely powerful and deserves the world's number one. Although the western Sichuan Navy has four battleships, four heavy cruisers that can barely act as main battleships, and the second batch of four heavy cruisers are about to enter service, it is in the huge British Navy.
In front of me, this is not even a fraction.
The main battleships of the British Navy now include the Rage Class of the Iron Caravan Age (Rabbit, Roar, Fearless), Ajax Class (Ajax, Agamemnon), and Giant Class (Giant, Edinburgh)
), Admiral (Colinwood, Rodney, Howe, Camper, Anson, Benbo), Nile (Nile, Trafalga), 15 ships
, are all battleships of 10,000 tons. The monarchy of the pre-Fearless Era (The monarchy, the Indian Emperor, the Hood, the Ramiy, the Counterattack, the Determination, the terrifying ex-revenge, the Royal Oak), Ba
Fleur class (Baveral, 100-man captain), reputation (Reputation, under construction, not completed), Majestic (Majestic, Gao Shang), a total of 12 ships, not including unfinished
The reputation number, and the majestic battleship will be built in a total of 9, and the subsequent 7 ships have been launched one after another.
The strong strength of the British Royal Navy makes the fledgling Chinese Navy dare not easily twist its edge. At least in the next five years or even longer, the Chinese Navy has not yet had the strength to fight against the British Royal Navy.
If you want to confront the UK head-on, unless the navy has the ability to protect itself and can defend coastal cities, it is best for China not to break up with the UK.
"Everyone, I suggest that we will not be on the date today. Everyone calm down and the peace talks will be held tomorrow!" said German Minister Marcos.
"Okay, I agree!" Liang Xingrong said.
After that, today's negotiations were temporarily over. The ministers of various countries said goodbye and left one after another. Japanese Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito and Foreign Minister Ogna also surrounded Ogner and left, just like they were dog legs raised by the British. However, the German Minister to China, Ma
But Cos stayed.
"Liang, I have to say that it is unwise to break up with Britain now. China, especially the Navy, now has no strength to compete with Britain!" said Marcos.
"If we go to war with the British, where will Germany stand?" Liang Xingrong asked.
"I'm sorry, Germany may provide some necessary support for China, but we will not participate in the war. Germany is not ready yet, and the German navy is far from a rival to the British Royal Navy. Even if the navies of our two countries are combined, the British Navy will be the British Navy.
It can also easily defeat us. So, during this time, we need to endure it as much as possible!" Marcos said.
"I know, but the British are bullying too much. We finally won this war and it is impossible for us to give up these interests!" Liang Xingrong said firmly. The performance of the Japanese representative today made him very dissatisfied and recognized that he also believed that
Clearing the face of the Japanese, I agree with Wang Yuze's view of weakening Japan as much as possible. With the support of Western powers, Japan is definitely a huge threat to China. It can be achieved through this war
If you gain a little more profit from Japan, you will be able to make China stronger and the possibility of defeating Japan again in the future will also increase by one point.
"Liang! China is the victor. It is a completely just act to ask Japan for war compensation. However, you need to pay attention to the way. I think you can get rid of Japan and negotiate with Britain and France alone. As long as these two countries nod, Japan will be the first to do so.
There is no room for resistance. The British and French are just trying to use Japan to check and balance you, and will not really go to war against China for the sake of the Japanese. Moreover, British Burma, India, and French
Isn’t Indochina also your bargaining chip?” Marcos, the German ambassador to China, said with a smile.
Liang Xingrong and others all had a lit up eyes. They seemed to have entered a misunderstanding before, thinking that this was a negotiation between China and Japan. They did not expect that weak countries had no diplomacy. Now Japan has no strength at all, if it were not the great powers.
If you support and help, you can only be slaughtered by China. If China wants to get enough benefits from Japan, it must reach an agreement with Britain, France, the United States and other countries behind Japan. This will be easier than China's direct negotiations with Japan.
Much more.
"For us, there is no problem in capturing British Burma, India and French Indochina. The army only needs to concentrate 10 divisions of troops to achieve this goal!" Cai Yun said. Britain and France.
The troops in the Far East are not strong. If the navy had not been weak now and could not bear the revenge of the British Navy, how could China be as humble as it is now!
"Thank you, my friend, your suggestions are very good, we will adopt them!" Liang Xingrong said happily.
"We are our best friends, and the interests of our two countries are largely consistent. Germany sincerely hopes that China can become stronger!" said German Minister Marcos.
"After the negotiations with Japan are over, we need to introduce a large number of machinery and equipment from Germany, and we still need your minister to help!" Liang Xingrong said. Wang Yuze's plan is to invest 1 billion yuan to develop heavy industry, and there are many machinery and equipment,
China cannot produce it yet and needs to rely on imports from abroad. Germany will undoubtedly be China's largest importer of equipment. Of course, what China needs is not only equipment, but also technology. By understanding these technologies thoroughly, it will eventually form its own R&D capabilities!
"Of course there is no problem. German equipment is the best in the world!" Marcos said confidently.
In the afternoon of the same day, Liang Xingrong, Wu Tingfang and Cai Yun went to the British Embassy in Dongjiaominxiang to visit the British Minister to China Ogner, and exchanged views with him on the negotiations, hoping to get Ogner's support.
Ogner was not surprised by Liang Xingrong and others' visit. Because if China wants to successfully complete the negotiations with Japan, it must nod the UK. If the UK continues to support Japan, Japan is likely to remain tough.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Your Excellency Minister, and Your Excellency Chief of Staff, please sit down. This is a black tea produced in India. Please taste it!" Ogner said with a smile in the reception room of the British Embassy in China.
"Thank you!" Liang Xingrong and others picked up tea cups and drank tea. Although they wanted more tea, it was difficult for the owner to refuse their affection, so they had to follow the customs.
After that, everyone had more scenes and Liang Xingrong began to go straight to the point.
"Mr., I believe your minister has already understood the intention of our visit. China and Japan have achieved a decisive victory in the war between China and Japan, and Japan has no chance to turn the tables. If time continues, it will only be correct
Japan is even more unfavorable!" Liang Xingrong said straight to the point.
"Of course, Japan has been defeated. The losers should pay compensation to the victorious countries, which I agree very much. However, from the perspective of justice, the conditions put forward by China are too excessive! This will lay hidden dangers for peace in the Far East.
.So, it is the responsibility of the British Empire to stand up and uphold justice!" British Minister Ogner said shamelessly.
"Bad justice! After the end of the two Opium Wars, did Britain impose a large number of unequal treaties on the Qing Dynasty and then seize a lot of wealth from China? Now, let's talk about justice or injustice!
"Liang Xingrong and the other two couldn't help but curse. This is a typical example of being a son and having to set up a archway!
"So, what conditions do you think are reasonable?" Liang Xingrong suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile on his face.
"The first article, Japan admits defeat, there is no problem at all. The following articles are still to be discussed! Especially the war reparations and cede land, China is too strict with Japan. I think Japan compensates China for the losses of war losses in compensation for China.
, Five million pounds is enough. As for ceding territory, Japan's territory is already small, so let's forget it! Just let the Japanese army withdraw from North Korea!" Ogner said shamelessly.
A hint of anger flashed in Liang Xingrong and others' eyes. China proposed a war reparation of 500 million pounds, but Ogner said 5 million pounds, which is a hundred times different from the demands put forward by China! On the ground,
I even want to completely eliminate this, how is this possible?
"Mr., our country has also paid a huge price for this war. The military expenditure alone cost hundreds of millions of pounds, plus other losses in wars, as well as the crimes committed by Japan in the Liaodong region of Northeast China, 500 million pounds.
The war compensation is not much. However, since the minister has spoken, we can appropriately reduce some. In order to show our sincerity, Japan's compensation for war military expenditure can be reduced to 400 million pounds." Liang Xingrong said sincerely. It was reduced immediately.
One hundred million pounds, this is indeed a huge number.
