Good people are bullied, and good horses are ridden! This is often the case between countries. After the strong statement of the imperial foreign minister Wu Tingfang, Russian Foreign Minister Izvulsky, was suppressed suddenly
Go on. After all, China is still in an advantageous position on the battlefield, and Russia is at the point of being passively beaten. If an agreement cannot be reached and the war ends, once the Chinese team continues to attack westward, Russia will suffer greater losses.
"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, I want to remind you that Russia will never be defeated. Napoleon did not succeed in the past, and now no one will succeed!" Russian Foreign Minister Izvulsky was stubborn.
"Hmph! Your Excellency Foreign Minister. China is not France, and His Majesty the Emperor of our country, nor is it Napoleon. What Napoleon could not do does not mean that our country could not do it!" Wu Tingfang was still competing against each other. If Wang Yuze was a powerful military man and greedy for merit.
Perhaps Wu Tingfang would not be so confident in the rampant emperor. On the contrary, Wang Yuze was very clear about the current situation of the war and knew that China did not have such strength to destroy Russia. Therefore, this time the battle against Russia was just
It is to expand the strategic space of the empire as much as possible and strive for the empire's greatest interests. It will not get angry because of victory on the battlefield, feel arrogant and want to take the opportunity to destroy Russia.
Russian Foreign Minister Izvulsky's face was so gloomy that it could almost drip out of water. However, he knew the current situation in Russia and knew that Russia did not have the capital to bargain with China. The longer the time delayed, the more unfavorable it would be to Russia.
.
"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, I don't know how China can agree to end this war?" Kasini, the former Russian Minister to China who accompanied Russian Foreign Minister Izvulsky, asked.
"It's very simple! First, Russia returns all the territory it has occupied since the Qing Dynasty. Second, the border between the two sides shall be based on the current actual control area. That is to say, Siberia is east of the Ural River in Central Asia, to Siberia
All the areas from the Erzis River to the east of the Ob River belong to China. Third, Russia's compensation is 500 million pounds. As for Russian captured soldiers, Russia needs to pay for redemption.
Soldier, one hundred pounds!" Wu Tingfang smiled and said the conditions of China.
"No! This is absolutely impossible!" Russian Foreign Minister Izvulsky jumped up like a cat with a tail stepped on. If it were divided by the actual control areas of both sides, there would be hundreds of Russia.
All efforts over the past year were in vain, and Russia almost lost half of its territory. Although these territories were barren lands with no value, they would not have much impact on Russia's national strength. However, they all suddenly
The country with the largest territory in the world has become a country with six or seventh territories, which Tsar Nicholas II absolutely cannot agree.
"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, this is the condition of our country. If Russia does not agree, then we can only solve the problem by war. We will drag it until one side can't fight. Then it will be solved!" Wu Tingfang said.
Although the war has had some impact on China, the society is generally stable. But Russia is different. Russia's national strength has been almost exhausted during the war, and the society is also undercurrent and turbulent. In this case,
The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Russia!
"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, otherwise, the territory that Russia obtained from the Qing Dynasty could be returned to China. But the other territories were developed by Russian ancestors, and this did not belong to China! As for war reparations, 500 million pounds is too much
Then, Russia can't take it out at all!" Russian Foreign Minister Izvulsky's attitude softened a little. Russia can no longer delay it, and it must withdraw from the war as soon as possible.
"I'm sorry! Your Excellency Foreign Minister. With such conditions, I can't convince His Majesty the Emperor of our country!" Wu Tingfang shook his head, looked helpless, and pushed all the responsibilities on Wang Yuze. Russian Foreign Minister Izfu
Ersky can't go to Wang Yuze to argue, right?
"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, Russia will never accept such conditions. Let's say goodbye!" Russian Foreign Minister Izvulsky saw Wu Tingfang's appearance of not getting into the air, so he had to leave angrily.
After returning, Russian Foreign Minister Izvulsky sent back the conditions offered by China back to Moscow. This made Tsar Nicholas II very angry, and the Chinese porcelain in the Kremlin suffered another disaster.
Tsar Nicholas II roared wildly, claiming that Russia would never accept such conditions. This is a shame for Russia, and Russia wants to carry out the war to the end.
However, all the important officials of the Russian government were worried. The war continued, and Russia had lost millions of troops to this day. At the same time, in order to support the war, the Ministry of Finance had spent all
The last ruble was already spent. The money borrowed from abroad was almost spent. In addition, because Tsar Nicholas II ordered heavy taxes to be imposed on the rich, the industrial and commercial capitalists and some nobles were very dissatisfied. The influence of the war
The food harvest in the Don River Basin has also failed, and many areas have already shown signs of famine. If you cannot withdraw from the war in time, Russia may collapse.
However, the angry Tsar Nicholas II no longer listened to any persuasion. He asked him to give up tens of millions of square kilometers of land, even tens of millions of square kilometers of wastelands and deserts, he would never agree.
.As the emperor of the Romanov dynasty, he would never agree to give up these territories.
Tsar Nicholas II was extremely tough and refused to give in. And China, which had the advantage, naturally would not give in. This also caused the negotiations between China and Russia to fall into a deadlock.
On August 2, US Secretary of State John Sherman arrived in Beijing and met with Sherlock, the former US Minister to China who had arrived in China earlier. However, what Sherlock brought him was still bad news. Sherlock
It has been working hard in Beijing for nearly a month, but it still has no effect. China still insists on harsh ceasefire conditions against the United States. Especially after the Chinese team successfully landed on the west coast of the United States and occupied Los Angeles, China performed.
It is even tougher. This leaves the United States with no way.
On August 3, US Secretary of State John Sherman and Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang met. During this period, Chinese Prime Minister Yang Hua also took time to meet John Sherman. After all, John Sherman is the US Secretary of State and has a status comparable to that of
If Yang Hua doesn't show up, it's a bit unreasonable.
However, during the meeting on this day, no agreement was reached. China still made several requests to ced Alaska and California, compensate China for one billion pounds of war reparations, and repeal the China Exclusion Act
》 and other conditions. However, except for being able to agree to abolish the Chinese Exclusion Act, US Secretary of State John Sherman could not agree to all other conditions.
The Chinese team landed on the west coast of the United States, which had a great impact on the United States. People in many places have no longer trusted the Garrett Hobart government, and opposition demonstrations in various places have been one after another, which has also made Secretary of State John?
Sherman felt a lot of pressure.
US Secretary of State John Sherman proposed to compensate China for 100 million pounds of war reparations and abolish the Chinese Exclusion Act as a condition for China to withdraw troops from the west coast of the United States, but Wu Tingfang still did not agree. This was too far from China's asking price. Wang Yuze
It means that even if you can't get California, Alaska must get it. As for the war reparations paid by the United States, it must not be less than 300 million pounds. After all, in this war, China is almost the same.
It cost more than 400 million to 500 million pounds. It must obtain sufficient war reparations, otherwise the government's finances will be overwhelmed.
Under such circumstances, China and the United States obviously could not reach an agreement, and the negotiations once again fell into a deadlock. It can be said that in addition to the slightest progress in the negotiations with France, the differences between the two sides were mainly on the amount of compensation. And other
Negotiations between countries were unable to reach an agreement because the gap was too large. Another country was excluded from the negotiations. Although Japanese Foreign Minister Shuzo Aoki repeatedly asked to see Wu Tingfang, Wu Tingfang refused his request every time.
.For Japan, China will not negotiate with them at all. At least it will not negotiate with Japan under the current circumstances. If China wants to completely resolve Japan's threat to China, it needs to completely defeat Japan through military means.
Lean down, eliminate all the Japanese radicals, and then support the pro-China government to power. Only in this way can China tame Japan and turn Japan into a dog raised by China. Just like the United States raised Japan in later generations
It was like a dog who defended the Soviet Union during the Cold War and restricted China after the Cold War. Therefore, China now has no need to negotiate with Japan. After all, the Japanese issue can only be resolved through military means.
After the negotiations with China reached a deadlock, diplomatic officials from various countries contacted the country on the one hand and asked about the meaning of the country, whether to continue to be tough or to compromise appropriately. On the other hand, through their respective relationships, they hope to find out China's trump card
, so that we can take the initiative in negotiations. For a time, Beijing City became the battlefield for diplomats.
However, under the conditions of the army as a strong backing, China has always occupied an active position in the negotiations and has fought for the greatest interests for the empire as much as possible.
