The Ryukyu incident in the Far East immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction from the three major groups in the world. However, the Far East authorities' behavior of paying homage first and then attacking was not found to be any problem for a while. In addition, after the incident, Representative Bismarck immediately issued a statement, first of all not
They will seize Ryukyu by force, hand over control to the original royal family of Ryukyu, and invite other countries to negotiate the next issues in Ryukyu.
Countries could not find any problems with Li Ningyu's arrangement. Then the Ryukyu Islands began to prepare for a series of meetings, but Japan was completely excluded. At the same time, after the Far East Army took control of Ryukyu, they immediately expelled all Japanese residents on the islands.
residents, and all properties were confiscated, because those were the wealth that was exploited by the people of Ryukyu, and were used to build a new Ryukyu after discussion by various countries.
This move once again left the major powers speechless, and Japan was also very depressed at this time, because they really couldn't figure out why they didn't take a stance after firing warning shots in the Far East. Of course, all this was planned by Li Ningyu.
One of the things is that before the warning cannons were fired, the local Japanese rulers of Ryukyu had been controlled by the Far East special forces who had sneaked into Ryukyu many years ago. In the end, they were directly beaten into a hornet's nest, and they could no longer say anything after they died.
With such words, he went to see the emperor.
On July 1st, a conference of various countries and a conference on Alaska were held in Ryukyu at the same time. This time Li Ningyu personally represented the Far East to discuss with various countries. However, one of the representatives who came to Ryukyu was an old acquaintance of Li Ningyu.
That is Li Hongzhang, the Central Hall of the late Qing Dynasty.
There were representatives from eight countries this time, including representatives from the three major world groups: British Minister Williams, French Minister Viscount Paul, German Minister Morini, Russian Minister, American Minister Smith, Italian Minister, Qing Dynasty representative Li Hongzhang, and the former King of Ryukyu.
Sang Tai’s son Sang Soon, and Li Ningyu’s Far East belongs to the host.
Looking at the people sitting around him who were all old acquaintances, Li Ningyu thought to himself that it would be better to go to Asia. There were old acquaintances everywhere. He was really happy. Then he blinked and Bismarck read out the current situation in Ryukyu.
"Ryukyu has an area of 2,265 square kilometers and 870,000 residents. Its main energy production is only a small amount of coal, and there are also few metal minerals. Gold, silver, copper, iron, etc. are mainly stored in the northern volcanic rock area and the central mountain range, but it has abundant hydraulic power.
Forests, fishery resources, and abundant rainfall have created good conditions for the development of rivers on the island. The water resources are extremely rich. Among them, the rivers with a length of more than 100 kilometers include Zhuoshui Creek, Gaoping Creek, Tamsui River, Dajia Creek, and Zengwen Creek.
,Wuxi".
In fact, many representatives were not very interested in what Bismarck was reading because they only cared about the interests of all countries after Ryukyu became independent. However, according to Li Ningyu's arrangement, Bismarck continued to read slowly.
"The agricultural area accounts for about a quarter of the land area. It is rich in grain, with three crops a year, good quality and high yield. The main cash crops are cane sugar and tea, and there are many kinds of fruits."
"We all know this, Bismarck, you better talk about the key points!" The American minister, who was also an old acquaintance of Bismarck, said a little impatiently after hearing these things that he didn't care about at all.
As soon as Smith's words came out, the Russian minister and ministers from several other countries who were present all agreed. At this time, Ryukyu Prince Shang Shun, Bismarck and Li Hongzhang all looked at Li Ningyu. The expression on their faces did not change, and they just picked up the tea cup and drank.
He took a sip and swallowed it slowly, not forgetting to say: "Good tea!".
Seeing Li Ningyu's Qi-nurturing skills, Li Hongzhang and Shang Shun frowned, but Bismarck seemed to understand something. Then he took out the next piece of paper and read: "Since the Far Eastern Army protected the overseas Chinese from landing, it has taken control of the island."
The total reserve resources and property include approximately 11 tons of gold, 168 tons of iron ore, 452 tons of coal, 3,520 tons of sugar, and 18,562 tons of grain. The confiscated property is worth 3.56 million pounds!"
Seeing that Bismarck had hit the point, the representatives from various countries immediately sat up straight and wrote down these numbers in their notebooks, because these were things related to their interests, but many representatives present had gone to the meeting before the meeting.
After getting angry with Li Ningyu, his Far Eastern Army is the actual controller of Ryukyu.
After Bismarck seemed to have introduced all this, he sat down on the chair next to Li Ningyu. Then ministers from various countries were chatting in low voices during the table. At this time, Li Hongzhang next to Li Ningyu also said with a smile.
: "My little friend, I haven't seen you for two years. I didn't expect you to have achieved so much overseas. Haha, don't forget me as a matchmaker!"
"How dare you, Mr. Zhongtang is joking. In fact, everything was guided by Mr. Zhongtang at that time. I wouldn't have been able to become who I am today!"
Li Ningyu also replied to Li Hongzhang with a smile, but just when Li Hongzhang was about to climb up the ladder, British Minister Williams had already spoken first: "Since Mr. Bismarck has clearly introduced the situation in Ryukyu, then we will
Let’s start negotiating!”.
Then all the representatives began to sit up straight and began to discuss. The British representative Williams was the first to say: "I think the value of the confiscated property should be handled by the British Empire, because as the first empire, our technology is the most
Developed countries, we will also contribute to the construction of a new Ryukyu!".
Williams seemed to be ready to swallow the biggest mouthful of fat from the beginning. The faces of representatives from other countries present suddenly became unhappy, and Shang Shun, who knew it through the translator, suddenly turned pale because he finally
I understood why these great powers came here to attend the meeting. It turned out that they were all here to rob wealth. It was exactly what Li Ningyu and Brother Li said. However, according to Li Ningyu’s prior remarks, Shang Shun just continued to sit there uneasily and said nothing.
Not ready to say.
But as soon as Williams' words came out, U.S. representative Smith immediately objected: "No, these properties belong to the Japanese people of our North Atlantic Treaty Organization. They were all privately seized by the Far East Army. They are doing this in a discordant manner.
France! You British have no right to deal with these things. In addition, when it comes to industrial strength, we, the United States of America, are the best!"
After Smith's rebuttal, everyone present looked with contempt, while Williams's face turned red from being squeezed, but no one wanted to stir up trouble in this muddy water, but only Li Ningyu spoke slowly.
Said: "I'm sorry, Representative Smith, let me emphasize that this property does not belong to Japan, let alone the North Atlantic Treaty Organization! Please stop saying such things, otherwise I won't mind asking you out!".
