This time, Wu Tingfang's request was lowered on two key issues compared with the beginning. The compensation for military losses was reduced from 200 million pounds to 150 million pounds, which was less than the beginning.
50 million pounds. However, in general, the amount of compensation is relatively large. In addition, this restriction has been completely relaxed in terms of limiting the US military power in the Western Pacific. Because China knows that the US does not
Those who will agree with this, they still want to find an opportunity to take revenge next time, so they will naturally not be able to tie their hands and feet. And China also has the confidence to defeat the Americans once, and then defeat them a second time.
After defeat, it is not so easy for Americans to escape.
"His Excellency Wu Tingfang, your country's requirements are still too harsh! The compensation of 150 million pounds is simply unable to pay!" said Tian Bei, the US ambassador to my country. The current fiscal revenue of the United States, converted into pounds, is not just a matter of It's just 70 million pounds. This compensation is the US's fiscal revenue for two years. If it's all compensated China, the US will not be able to drink the northwest wind!
"His Excellency Wu Tingfang, 150 million pounds, the amount is too large. Do you see if China can make concessions again?" said Ogner, the British ambassador to China. In his opinion, China is still speaking out loud, 100 million pounds.
Fifty million pounds are enough to build a warship that is more than ten times more than the current Chinese Navy.
"Two ministers, our government is already very sincere. This amount was personally decided by His Majesty the Emperor, and I am really powerless. Your Excellency Tian Bei, then, how much loss is the US government willing to compensate us?" Wu Tingfang asked.
"His Excellency Wu Tingfang, in order to express the friendship between China and the United States and contribute to world peace, our country is willing to compensate China 10 million." said Tian Bei, the US ambassador to China.
"GBP?"
"No, US dollars!" Tian Bei said affirmatively.
Wu Tingfang's face suddenly became very ugly. Ten million US dollars, converted into pounds, was only two million. It was just the cost of China's latest "Qin-class" battleship. And the requirements put forward by China,
The difference is 75 times! This makes Wu Tingfang think that Tian Bei is obviously playing tricks on him!
"Your Excellency Tian Bei, it seems that your government has no sincerity in peace talks. Since this is the case, we don't have to waste time anymore. Everything is decided by the battlefield!" Wu Tingfang said coldly.
"Hisser Wu Tingfang, if you have something to say, if you do not agree with the conditions of the United States, you can discuss it again. Your Excellency Tian Bei, see if you can ask the following US government to increase compensation. If the negotiations break down and a war breaks out between China and the United States,
It is extremely unfavorable for both countries and the entire world!" The British ambassador to China Ogner smoothed out the situation.
"It's better to do this. Let's stop negotiations today. Both sides will go back and think about it, and then negotiate tomorrow!" Ogner said. The location of this negotiation was chosen in the British Embassy in China, because the United Kingdom serves as China and the United States.
The mediators of both sides, and the French ambassador to China Tian Chun, the German ambassador to China Marcos, and the Russian ambassador to China Kasini also witnessed the negotiations.
"Okay, I agree! However, I need to remind Mr. Tian Bei. Today is September 25th, and the Pacific Fleet of our Navy will leave Hawaii tomorrow. If there is no agreement yet, I am afraid there will be no
It is necessary to continue negotiations!" Wu Tingfang threatened. It will take ten days to travel from Hawaii to the west coast of the United States. In other words, the time left for the United States is only ten days. If the war starts again, it may not be so
Easy to end.
"My country will not accept any war intimidation!" Tian Bei replied gritting his teeth.
After Wu Tingfang left the British Embassy, he did not return to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but went to the palace to report the latest progress to Wang Yuze.
"Your Majesty, the Americans should not last long. Once our fleet goes out to sea, it will inevitably put more pressure on them. At that time, we will appropriately reduce the conditions, and they can only agree to our request." Wu Tingfang smiled
said.
"Very good! Getting enough benefits from the United States as much as possible is very beneficial to our next development!" Wang Yuze said. Originally, his bottom line was only 50 million pounds. Now it seems that he has a chance to get it.
More. For China today, funds are very short of money. Especially for the army and the navy, it requires a lot of money. Cutting off a piece of fat from the United States will help China grow further.
It is able to deal with challenges with stronger power. As for the complete breakup with the United States, it has nothing to do with it. China and the United States will break up sooner or later for the interests of the Pacific. Taking advantage of China's strength nowadays is stronger than the United States,
It is no big deal to seize more benefits from the United States. Even if the United States wants to retaliate in the future, China can resist it, and even defeat the United States again. In this way, the United States will never have a chance to rise again.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will try my best to gain more benefits for China!" Wu Tingfang said. He was well aware of the series of strategies set by Wang Yuze. Although China has a grudge against Western powers, it has been from the West.
The practice of seeking resources to develop itself is like walking a tightrope. If you are not careful, you may fall to pieces. However, now China has embarked on this path and can no longer stop, so it can only be kept going.
They continued. The top leaders of the government and the elites of the empire can only find ways to enhance China's strength so that China can have enough strength to cope with future challenges.
"Wu Aiqing, thank you for your hard work! However, this is not a problem. In the next two or three years, it will be very important to the empire. This is not only a crisis of the empire, but also an opportunity. If we can survive it smoothly, then the empire will be able to
Become a real world power. All we do now is to prepare for this time!" Wang Yuze said solemnly. It can be foreseeable that in two years, the war between China and Japan will begin, and then the United States will inevitably
Will join in, and Russia may also join in. As for Britain and France, if China's war is not going well, they will definitely join in. At that time, China will face the siege of five powerful countries, which is very dangerous.
.Of course, except for Japan, it is not the best that other countries will fight against China. Once the war breaks out, there will be a life-and-death battle between China and Japan, while the United States will more often seize Hawaii and defeat.
The Chinese Pacific Fleet avenged its former shame. The main battle with Russia is the Northern Territory, which is mainly the army responsible. As for France, it is the battle for the Indochina colonies. If France dares to intervene, China does not mind overturning it.
France's rule in the Indochina colony turned this into a Chinese colony. As for Britain, it was mainly due to pressure from the sea. However, the main force of the British navy was in Europe and only had the "Chinese fleet" in the Far East, although it was supplemented.
Four "June-Class" battleships, but the British "Chinese Fleet" is still no match for the Chinese Navy. After all the "Chinese" battleships are put into service, the Chinese Navy can easily defeat them. And the powerful British navy has German
If they restrain themselves, they will not send all the main forces to advance eastward, and China may not have no chance of winning by then.
Although, this looks like a gamble, it seems like a gamble if it wins, the entire East, East Asia and even Southeast Asia, to the Pacific will be included in China's power. China will become a powerful person who can compete with Britain.
A big country! Although the risks are very great, the gains are also great. Therefore, Wang Yuze is determined to gamble this!
The next day, the negotiations between China and the United States continued to be held. Perhaps due to domestic pressure, Tian Bei loosened a lot. Under the mediation of the UK, the two sides started a verbal battle. Although, after a day of negotiations, it was still
There was no agreement, but there has been great progress compared to the past.
At this time, the Pacific Fleet left the port and sailed to the west coast of the United States, which put great pressure on the United States. The US government once again instructed Tian Bei to reach an agreement with China as soon as possible.
Under such circumstances, on the afternoon of September 27, China and the United States finally reached an agreement. The formal treaty was signed and came into effect on the afternoon of the same day. Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang and US plenipotentiary representative Tian Bei had thousands of words in the treaty. The United Kingdom
As notaries, the Sino-US military conflict ended here and the US military conflict ended here and left the port.
The Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet was also ordered to return to Pearl Harbor.
This time the treaty was made into the Sino-US Beijing Treaty. The main contents of the treaty were: First, the US government apologized to China and compensated the losses of 80 million pounds in the Chinese affairs; Second, the United States recognized the status of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
, guarantee not to invade the Kingdom of Hawaii by any means; thirdly, the United States abandons all its interests in China and returns them to China's concessions. Fourthly, after the treaty came into effect, China and the United States resumed friendly relations. In addition, there are a series of affiliated agreements,
For example, China needs to release captured American Navy officers and soldiers immediately, etc.
In this treaty, China not only established its rule over Hawaii, but also eliminated the main force of the US Navy, reducing the pressure on China by the United States in the Pacific direction, and earned 80 million pounds of compensation, which is more than the US's fiscal revenue in one year
There are still many, which can improve China's military facilities again.
