In one sentence, there was a sarcastic tone in the words.
As if a fuse was lit, there was a loud uproar in the conference room. Countless people lowered their heads to discuss, and there was even anger on their faces. The French commander Russell looked anxious and shouted loudly: "President Li, you lied to us. It's no use. I know France has sent negotiating officials. Please let me go. I don't want to stay in this hellish place anymore. I believe the two sides have reached an agreement."
British Commander Adams then said: "Please President Lee, please let us go."
Officials from various countries spoke out one after another, asking Li Zhen to release him.
These officials were held in solitary confinement and faced with themselves all day long. They had been isolated from the world for several months. They were almost going crazy from holding back. They finally looked forward to Li Zhen coming. They preconceived that this was an opportunity and looked forward to Li Zhen releasing them. However, Li Zhen's words shattered their hopes, and one can imagine the disappointment in their hearts. No one even wanted to believe it or accept the news that they would continue to be detained.
Li Zhen continued: "I don't need to deceive you."
"No, it's impossible."
"The UK cannot sit idly by and the Queen will not give up on us."
"Napoleon III will not give up on us."
There was a lot of noise in the conference room.
Li Zhen sat quietly, as if watching a good show, and said nothing.
Gradually, the conference room became quiet.
If you listen carefully, you will find that there are choking sounds. When Li Zhen saw this scene, he laughed in his heart. It seems that the effect of solitary confinement is good. He coughed twice, and along with Li Zhen's cough, various countries The personnel's eyes fell on Li Zhen's face, expecting what Li Zhen would say. The captives were not fools, and there were even old foxes among the captives. They knew that Li Zhen came with a purpose, so they all became quiet.
Li Zhen raised his head and said calmly: "You have been ignorant of foreign affairs for a long time and do not understand the situation outside. At present, it is difficult for the negotiation team and me to reach an agreement on the conditions proposed by me. In fact, the negotiation team has almost given up. Regardless of the captured soldiers, Officials from some countries even made harsh remarks, saying they would rather give up captured soldiers than agree to my conditions. Of course, the conditions I offered must be difficult to a certain extent, so it is normal for them not to agree."
Li Zhen was smiling and didn't seem to be in a hurry.
"Does President Li want to use us to put pressure on the negotiating team to agree?"
A loud voice came from the crowd.
The speaker was the former Governor of Hong Kong, Robinson Crusoe. His expression was cold and solemn, and he stared at Li Zhen unblinkingly.
Li Zhen nodded and said: "Of course."
Robinson asked again: "What do we need to do?"
Li Zhen snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Governor Robinson is a cheerful person. Okay, let me tell you straight. I need you to write a letter stating the hardships you encountered in prison. By the way, You have made such a big sacrifice for the country, but no one has rescued you yet. To complain, it is actually that simple. I can tell you that this is used to exert pressure from public opinion and force the negotiation team to continue negotiations and agree to my promise. Conditions, hahaha..."
Li Zhen laughed loudly and said, "Everyone, what are you going to do?"
"I won't do it, I won't do it."
"Yes, we cannot harm the interests of the country for our own sake."
…
One by one, the imprisoned people began to defend the interests of the country.
"Oh, you are so patriotic. It's touching. It's a pity that you are patriotic, but the officials of the negotiation team have no intention of rescuing you. They are currently silent collectively and do not intend to negotiate with me. When the time comes, the negotiation teams of various countries will When the officials return to China, you will have to stay in Beijing forever and spend the rest of your life in a small house of your own. If you are not willing to write it, then write a suicide note. If you are willing to write it, find someone to write it down and hand it in. To the person in charge of the prison."
After Li Zhen finished speaking, he took Peng Yulin and left.
After leaving the prison, the two men returned directly to the Presidential Palace.
Peng Yulin asked: "President, it would be great if someone writes it, but what should we do if no one writes it?"
Li Zhen chuckled and said, "You will know later."
The two of them were waiting at the Presidential Palace. In less than an hour, the prison director sent up letters written by captured soldiers from various countries. After Li Zhen read them, he immediately smiled. Among all the appendices, the British envoy Gobard and The Russian envoy Stopsilin asked the negotiating team officials to ignore them, while the French envoy Frankfurt and the American federal envoy Ma Hui presented the situation impartially. Most of the remaining soldiers hoped that the country could rescue them. According to Li Zhen's Ideas to write.
Peng Yulin also read it again and asked, "What should I do with the letters from Gobard and Stopsilin?"
Li Zhen said: "It's very simple. Let people imitate their handwriting and write a letter of complaint and help. With the handwriting of Gobard and Stopsilin, nothing can't be done."
Peng Yulin asked again: "What should we do next?"
Li Zhen said without hesitation: "It is natural to exert pressure, but it is not to set off a storm of public opinion within China's territory, but to set off public opinion in Britain, France, the United States, and Russia. Immediately send people to arrest Gobard, Ma Hui, and Sri Lanka." Thanks to the Muslims, Frankfurt's letter was spread to various countries, and then the letters from the commanders of various countries were also spread. They used the sympathy of the people of various countries to put pressure on the governments and forced the negotiating teams of each country to compromise. In addition, the negotiating teams had to be established in China. Publicizing the matter of doing nothing and not caring about the captured soldiers is also a good show. It must set off a storm in the four countries and incite public opinion."
"I understand, the President has a good plan."
Peng Yulin narrowed his eyes and already knew what to do.
Li Zhen waved his hand, and Peng Yulin turned around and left. Next, Li Zhen started to deal with what needed to be done, finishing the matter as quickly as possible, and then returned to the backyard to meet with Li Xiaotong and others who had arrived at the Presidential Palace.
…
Kyaktu, where the Mongolian army was stationed.
There was deep worry on the face of Chief Borzigit. He had received orders from Huang Shihai one after another, ordering him to surrender. As of today, it is the deadline. If he does not give a clear answer today, Huang Shihai will surrender tomorrow. Launch the final attack.
The atmosphere in the Chinese army's tent seemed extremely strange.
The chiefs of each tribe lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Report,."
A loud shout came from outside the camp.
The clan leaders in the camp couldn't help but shudder. They looked up one by one at the soldiers who ran in to report the news. There was fear in their eyes. It was probably Huang Shihai who had sent someone to urge them.
Chief Borzigit said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
The soldier reported: "Replying to your lord, Tsarist Russia has sent an envoy to say something important."
"Hahaha……"
In an instant, the Borzigit patriarch laughed loudly.
He stood up, with tears rolling down his face. He waved his hands excitedly and said: "Lead the way, I will personally greet the envoys from Tsarist Russia." At this moment, the heart of the Borzigit patriarch fell to the ground.
Likewise, the faces of the clan leaders of each tribe were also filled with ecstasy.
