On January 9, after receiving the supreme instructions from Tsar Nicholas II, Russian Ambassador to China Kasini once again met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang to discuss the redemption of Russian prisoners of war.
"Mr. Ambassador, I don't know what your country is thinking about? As time passes slowly, our country's construction in Siberia will soon begin. Once the prisoners of war in your country enter the construction site, your country wants it then
It is impossible to redeem it again!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile. He was sure that even in the face of the high prices offered by China, Russia still had no choice but to pay high prices and turn these things
Prisoners of war were redeemed. If I had known it, wouldn’t it be better for them to redeem them during the armistice negotiations? There is no need to be slaughtered again like now.
"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, our country has considered it. However, we still hope that your country can offer a little more discount at the price. After all, the price of 200 pounds per is too high!" Kasini's face was full of
Bitter smile.
"I'm sorry, Ambassador, this price was set by His Majesty the Emperor of my country, and we cannot modify it!" Wu Tingfang shook his head stubbornly. Seeing that Russia was about to surrender, if he made concessions at this time, he would be causing trouble for himself.
"Okay, Lord Wu Tingfang, two hundred pounds per prisoner of war, we Russia agreed to this condition. However, the generals we captured must also be counted among these prisoners of war!" Kasini said. Of course, these elite soldiers
It's very important. But those commanders are even more important. In the battle with China, the Russian generals lost almost half of them, and the remaining generals were all people who had no talent and were afraid of death. This is also
The reason why the Russian army could not defeat the rebels formed by the mob.
"Haha, OK! That's right! When will the transaction start? Pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in the other hand!" Wu Tingfang laughed. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he got 200 million pounds. This is a big business!
"Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, don't be busy. There are millions of soldiers captured by your country. However, we only need to redeem 500,000 people." Kasini said.
"What? Only half of it is redeemed?" Wu Tingfang was shocked. Why did half of it be left in the blink of an eye? What else do these Russians do?
"Yes, Your Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs. Our country's financial resources are limited, and your country's asking price is too high, so we can only redeem half of the prisoners of war!" said Kasini, the Russian Ambassador to China. Wu Tingfang's surprised expression made him very
He was very clear about China's desire to slap a hard on Russia. He also hated the Chinese's approach very much. He was very happy that Wu Tingfang was shocked and he was very happy.
"Your Excellency Ambassador, that is, has your country given up your other half of the prisoners of war?" Wu Tingfang asked.
"There is no way to do this. I believe they will understand it. May God bless them!" Kasini looked sympathetic.
"Okay, Ambassador, I need to ask His Majesty the Emperor to make a decision tomorrow!" Wu Tingfang said. The Russians did not play according to common sense, which made him a little confused.
"Okay! Your Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs. However, I need to tell you that one hundred million pounds, redemption of 500,000 prisoners of war and those generals is already the bottom line of our country. If your country has other objections, then
We can only give up the redemption of those prisoners of war." Kassini said with a serious face. There is nothing we can do about being blackmailed by China. But if China wants to gain a better position, Russia will not agree.
"I understand!" Wu Tingfang said expressionlessly.
After Kasini left, Wu Tingfang immediately went to the palace to meet Emperor Yuze, and reported to him about the Russians' reaction.
"Your Majesty, the Russians only agreed to redeem half of the prisoners of war. It seems that it is impossible for us to make another 200 million pounds from the Russians!" Wu Tingfang said. The Russians only agreed to redeem half of the prisoners of war, so China
Only one hundred million pounds of ransom can be obtained.
"It seems that these Russians are not stupid. Although the rebels in southern Russia have won victories. Overall, except among the very few troops, their combat power is still worrying. If the Russians can obtain 500,000 elite troops,
, you can stabilize the front line. After two or three months, when the newly recruited military forces in Russia are completed and the weapons purchased from abroad are in place, it will be very easy to destroy the rebels at that time!" Wang Yuze
Analysis.
"Your Majesty, what should we do? Or should we simply refuse the Russians' request?" Wu Tingfang said.
"Hmph! The Russians are good at making a calculation. However, there is no reason to not be given to the money delivered to the door. If you reply to the Russians, we promised their conditions. One hundred million pounds to redeem 500,000 prisoners of war." Wang Yuze said
.
"If Russia quickly wiped out the rebellion, then we will not be able to weaken Russia!" Wu Tingfang said.
"Don't worry, he has a plan for Zhang Liang, we have a ladder! I will tell the military that the old, weak, sick and disabled people will be redeemed from prisoners of war. Let the remaining hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war be allowed to work hard first.
Then we contacted the rebels in southern Russia and asked them to pay for these prisoners of war. When these prisoners worked as coolies for several months and learned that they were abandoned by Russia, they would definitely agree to join the southern Russia.
Those uprisingers can also exchange these prisoners of war for money at that time!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.
The longer the Russian civil turmoil, the more beneficial it is to China. Through this war, China slaughtered a fierce knife on Russia. Wang Yuze believed that Tsar Nicholas II would definitely be eager to take revenge. Therefore, it made Russia slow down in civil turmoil.
It is very necessary for China to slowly consume their national strength.
"Your Majesty, since we are worried that Russia will pose a threat to us? Then why don't we support the Russian Democratic Labor Party and let them overthrow the Tsar's rule? Perhaps we can use this to gain more benefits!" Wu Tingfang suggested.
Wang Yuze immediately shook his head. The Russian Democratic Labor Party, but the predecessor of the Red Party, has tasks that Wang Yuze is extremely afraid of. Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov is now the leader of the Russian Democratic Labor Party.
It's a figure. Once the Russian Democratic Labor Party overthrew the Tsar's rule and established that terrible country, China might stone its own feet and set itself up a terrifying enemy. Although China is now different from the past
, but Wang Yuze was still unwilling to take this risk. The best way was to let the Tsar and Ulyanov fight to the death, and let them fight for years, destroy Russia's population and national strength in the war. In this case, Russia
The pressure on China can be reduced to a minimum. In short, it is what China hopes to see that Russia will continue to be in chaos.
"Master Wu, you may not know that those guys from the Russian Democratic Labor Party are not good at plagues. Russians are born to be very greedy for the land. Even if they are forced by the situation, they may recognize the benefits we have made in Russia. But once they are not allowed to do so, they may recognize the benefits we have made in Russia.
Those guys have gained power, and they can quickly develop the country with many crazy means and then cause trouble for us. Therefore, we can only use them to consume Russia's strength and never let them grow stronger.
Even if Russia cannot wipe them out, we should send troops to help Russia wipe out them out!" Wang Yuze said seriously.
Wu Tingfang nodded, although he thought that Wang Yuze was a bit too much of a problem. However, Wang Yuze's views have always been very correct. Therefore, he did not refute it. However, Wang Yuze's attention to the Russian Democratic Labor Party has made him so
He became interested in the Russian Democratic Labor Party, and he spent a lot of time following the party.
The next day, Wu Tingfang met with Russian Ambassador to China Kasini, and the two sides started a new round of negotiations. Finally, they reached an agreement that Russia would redeem 100 million pounds, or 732.5 tons of gold.
Five hundred thousand prisoners of war were returned. As for the captured Russian generals, China gave them free of charge. They were asked to return to Russia and lead the army to fight against the Russian Democratic Labor guys in the south.
Half a month later, the two sides traded in Omsk. The train transporting gold entered the Omsk station. After the Chinese side inspected, they handed back 500,000 prisoners of war to Russia. However, China also did the same among these Russian prisoners of war.
After all, almost one-fifth of the people are old, weak, sick and disabled. Even if Russia redeems it, there is no way for them to go to the battlefield again. This made the Tsar, who finally learned of this result, cursed and scolded China for being despicable.
A dirty liar. However, gold is already in China's hands, and Russia has long lost the strength to go to war with China. Although Russia is very dissatisfied, it can only pinch its nose and accept it.
After the Russian army redeems these prisoners of war, they put them on the battlefield after simple training. These soldiers who experienced cruel battles have much stronger combat qualities than new recruits, and are not the insurrectionists in the south at all.
What's more, Grand Duke Nicholas personally served as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Rebels. Under his command, the Russian army defeated the southern rebels. If Grand Duke Nicholas had not had enough troops, it might have been very
It will soon be able to wipe out these rebels. However, even so, it will only take time for Russia to wipe out the rebellion. After the subsequent troops are trained, it will be the end of these rebels.
