Seeing how excited Okuma Shigeto was, the representative of the Saar Empire also curiously took the draft and saw that it read: "The Japanese must publicly apologize to the Lanfang Empire and the Hanping Kingdom, and cede Kyushu Island and the Ryukyu Islands to Lan.
The Fang Empire ceded Tsushima Island to the Hanping Kingdom. The Japanese Empire compensated all losses caused to the Lanfang Empire and the Hanping Kingdom during the war. The total compensation was 100 million Lanfang coins for the fleet of the Lanfang Empire and 100 million Lanfang coins for the Hanping Kingdom.
coins to compensate the Chinese leader for 100 million Lanfang coins. At the same time, the Japanese must redeem the captives in the hands of the Chinese leader and the Japanese soldiers in Busan Port at a price of 1,000 Lanfang coins each. Their total number is 211,17
One hundred people need to pay 211.7 million Lanfang coins."
Representatives of the Saar Empire were shocked after reading this proposal. If this draft is passed, Japan must pay 511.7 million Lanfang coins, which is almost equal to Japan's three-year gross national product.
Even if it was as powerful as the Thrall Empire, it would be quite painful to spend so much money in a short period of time.
Seeing the extremely gloomy expressions on the faces of Shigemo Okuma and the representatives of the Saar Empire, Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "This is just a draft, we can still discuss it."
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu saying that there was room for negotiation, Okuma Shigeo quickly said: "It is absolutely impossible to cede territory. The total compensation for the three of you can only be 30 million. We will not pay anything for the prisoners, not to mention that our troops at Busan Port are still here."
I am not captured by you."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "If we don't want to cede the place, we can negotiate. The compensation fee must be equal to our losses, otherwise we will suffer a loss. As for the captives, if you don't pay the ransom, I will let them mine. The Japanese soldiers in Busan Port must
Put down their weapons and become prisoners, otherwise we will not guarantee their lives."
Okuma Shige said: "Our government will never accept your proposal, at least Kyushu Island and the Ryukyu Islands cannot be ceded." Fang Xiaoyu said: "It makes sense not to cede Kyushu Island. The Ryukyu Islands are originally a vassal state of the Lanfang Empire.
You illegally occupied it decades ago, so how come it has become yours again? I just want you to return it, not cede it."
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu arguing hard, Okuma Shigeto had no choice but to retreat step by step: "Even if we agree to return the Ryukyu Islands, the compensation for the losses will not be so much."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "You destroyed the empire's second and third fleets in a sneak attack, as well as the fort and military port in Port Arthur. Do you need more than 100 million for this? You have killed so many people in the Hanping Kingdom, and your soldiers are in the Han Dynasty."
Pingguo carried out looting all over the country and even put the royal family under house arrest. Do you think it is more than 100 million?"
There is nothing to say about this compensation for Okuma Shigeto. After all, the facts are there: "Even so, where do you have so much military spending?"
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Our weapons are all new and the cost is very high. In order to resist your aggression, our navy fired a total of 3,115 artillery shells, consuming 5,532 tons of coal, and sacrificed
There are three hundred and fifty-one naval men, and when coupled with the wear and tear on the ship, the cost is very considerable."
Fang Xiaoyu continued with a serious look: "In addition, there is also the consumption of the Hanping Kingdom. The army sacrificed 9,375 people and injured 21,924 people in the battle. These all need to be paid.
Pensions and medical expenses, at the same time, the loss of 31,215 firearms, the consumption of 1,125,000 rounds of bullets, and the consumption of 3,712 rounds of artillery shells. All these together cost you a
Billion has already suffered a huge loss."
Okuma Shigecho was stunned by Fang Xiaoyu's words. He didn't expect that Fang Xiaoyu had calculated the figures so clearly. According to this, he was really at fault. In fact, Fang Xiaoyu's figures were all made up, and they were basically higher than the facts.
It has increased more than ten times. Anyway, the entire war zone is now under their control. They don't know the actual situation at all, so they don't just let themselves talk nonsense.
Fang Xiaoyu had the upper hand in the negotiation, but Shigemo Okuma still refused to give up: "Even if we agree to a compensation of 300 million yuan, the money to redeem the captives is too much, and it actually costs 1,000 yuan per person." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "
From birth to adulthood, how much does a person spend on food? How much does it cost on clothing? How much does it cost to join the military and train? This does not include the cost of education and the cost of daily necessities. Do these add up to more than a thousand yuan?
?”
Fang Xiaoyu's words did not follow the common sense of diplomatic activities at all. Instead, he sounded like a profiteer who was bargaining. Shigemo Okuma didn't know how to reply. The two sides bargained for a long time, and finally, under the mediation of the Nantes Empire representative, the two sides reached a preliminary agreement.
.The Japanese ceded Tsushima Island to Hanping and returned the Ryukyu Islands to China.
At the same time, the Japanese state compensated the Hanping Kingdom, the Chunghwa Kingdom and the Lanfang Imperial Navy with 50 million Lanfang coins each. The Japanese nation agreed to redeem all the captives and Japanese soldiers trapped in Busan Port to the Chinese for a total price of 100 million Lanfang coins.
Well, Fang Xiaoyu suffered a lot this time. Not only did he lose his land, but he also lost so much money. It can be said that there is no hope for the Japanese economy to recover within a few years.
Fang Xiaoyu took the revised decision and nodded and said: "Not bad, but I have to add one last sentence. If your government delays the redemption of the prisoners, it must pay for the food of the prisoners at the price of one million Lanfang coins per day."
After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Shigemo Okuma almost fainted. This Fang Xiaoyu is really obsessed with money and only cares about money.
In order to redeem the only elite soldiers in the country, the Japanese King Taisho and the government had to reluctantly pass the contract. On July 2, 892, the Lanfang Empire, the Chinese Territory, the Japanese Kingdom and the Hanping Kingdom gathered in Tongjiang Fucheng.
The "Tongjiang Contract" was signed, and the first conflict between the Japanese state and the Lanfang Empire officially ended.
Fang Xiaoyu will then capture four warships from Japan, including the "Musashi", "Hiei" and "Showa" gun room ironclads and the "Hashidate" new ironclad ("Hashidate" was captured in the naval battle
The boiler was hit and lost power, and was later towed back to the shipyard for repair by a tugboat sent by the Chinese leader.) They were packaged together and sold to the Imperial Navy at a low price of one million Lanfang coins, which made Marshal Xiahoumin overjoyed.
Fang Xiaoyu finally calmed down the guilt in his heart a little. After all, he did not inform the Imperial Navy of the sneak attack by the Japanese navy, which caused so much damage to Marshal Xiahoumin's navy. Although he felt that he did not completely cripple the Japanese navy this time.
It's a pity, but Fang Xiaoyu's benefits from the war were still huge. This also made Fang Xiaoyu know for the first time what it means to make a big war fortune.
In this war against the Japanese, the Chinese Territory made a lot of money. Not only did it gain the Ryukyu Islands, but it also actually controlled the Hanping Kingdom by controlling the Hanping Kingdom. Jin Chengyong saw the power of the Chinese Territory's defense force during the battle.
He had no fighting power and was completely committed to the Chinese leader, so Fang Xiaoyu promoted him to the position of field marshal of the Hanping Army and assigned instructors to reorganize the Hanping Army for him.
Fang Xiaoyu used some officials who were pro-Chinese leaders and even put his cronies into the government pretending to be Hanping people, completely evading the Hanping emperor and firmly controlling the entire country in his own hands. For a long time, the Hanping people had no regard for the economy.
Both the culture and culture were deeply influenced by the Lanfang Empire. In addition, the appearance of the people of the two countries is very similar. It is basically impossible to tell if it is not explained in advance. This deepens the closeness between the two countries.
After taking control of the Hanping Kingdom, Fang Xiaoyu communicated with Marshal Xiahoumin. Xiahoumin, who had just received Fang Xiaoyu's armored ship gift package, was very excited and immediately agreed to let Fang Xiaoyu build a railway starting from Luhai County and running through the entire Hanping Kingdom.
, and at the same time began to immigrate and invest economically there, striving to completely transform the Hanping Kingdom into a hard-core vassal state under the Chinese rule in a short period of time. In this way, Fang Xiaoyu gained control of the Hanping Kingdom, including Raxian, Inchon, Busan and other places.
several excellent ports.
In addition to the gains in the territory, Fang Xiaoyu also earned more than 100 million orchids in compensation, which enriched the construction funds of the Chinese territory. In addition, the Hanping Kingdom's hundreds of years of royal collections, including hundreds of tons of gold and
All kinds of treasures were smuggled back by Fang Xiaoyu.
Also transported back was most of the silver stored in the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Hanping Kingdom. Anyway, the Japanese army was responsible for taking the blame, and he made a fortune silently. Since the Hanping Kingdom was a country that used silver as its currency, its government silver
The reserves are quite abundant. This time Fang Xiaoyu obtained one hundred tons of silver from the Hanping State Household Treasury alone.
The battle against Japan became a touchstone for the Chinese territorial sea army. Although the Chinese leading army withstood the test, many problems were exposed. Fang Xiaoyu decided to make some changes to the Chinese leading army based on this surprise. In terms of artillery and heavy machine guns for the army,
will be strengthened.
Both the Defense Force and the Iron Blood Army will expand their establishment. Each platoon will add a heavy firepower squad. This squad will have two heavy machine guns and three mortars. At the same time, a group equipped with eight 76mm guns will be established at the regiment level.
The artillery battery of the mountain artillery is equipped with a howitzer battalion equipped with twenty-four 105 mm caliber howitzers at the division level, and a supply battalion is set up at the brigade level.
In this way, the standard configuration of a division becomes more than 15,000 men. Each division will have 486 heavy machine guns, 729 mortars, 72 70
A six-millimeter mountain cannon and twenty-four 105-millimeter howitzers, this kind of firepower can already disdain the entire world.
The biggest problem for the army is logistics. In the past, Fang Xiaoyu had not paid much attention to horses due to the impact of mechanization and strategic air force transportation of supplies on the earth. In the past, most of Fang Xiaoyu's troops fought on the inside, and logistics supplies could be solved on the spot. This time
When going abroad to fight, the weakness of logistics exposed a big problem.
Since there was not enough animal power to transport supplies, there was often a shortage of ammunition in frontline operations. If the Japanese army was not too rookie in combat power, there would be some doubts about the Hanping Kingdom's battle this time.
