Beijing, Xinhua Palace, Emperor Yuze is discussing the next stage of military operations with several military giants. It is now October, and the troops on the west coast of the United States and Siberia have withdrawn from the country and started resting and recuperation.
The transportation capacity of the border has been completely adjusted and the next stage of combat can be implemented.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Army has been deployed in Hawaii and Alaska, and the Seventh Army has returned to the country. In the Siberian side, the First Cavalry Army and the Third Cavalry Army have deployed Central Asia, and the Fifth Army has deployed defenses in the Erzis River,
The defense line has begun to be built. The Russian army has also begun to withdraw from Europe on a large scale. It is estimated that in the next stage, the Russian army will start to suppress the rebellion in South Africa. In the next stage, our army's main combat mission is to fight against Japan.
.” Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu introduced.
Wang Yuze was a little excited. After preparing for so long, he finally started fighting against Japan. To destroy Japan and solve this threat, the entire Far East will belong to China in the future.
"How are the troops preparing? Can you guarantee that Japan will be destroyed this time?" Wang Yuze asked.
"Your Majesty, the army and the navy are ready. According to the plan of the General Staff, the first wave of landing will be completed by the Second Army. First landing on Kyushu Island and clearing out the Japan here. Then, with the assistance of the Navy, the Navy
Attack Kyushu. In addition, in order to accelerate the destruction of Japan, the Eighth Army will land in Tokyo Bay. We will attack Japan with the Second Army!" said Chief of Staff Xiong Wu.
"Two armies. However, it should be enough to deal with the Japanese. Although the Japanese have expanded their troops to two million, they are not even full of food and their weapons are extremely poor. It should not be difficult to destroy them!
"Wang Yuze said with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, when will the specific time of the war against Japan begin? This will be determined by you!" Army Minister Cai Yun also said.
"When the negotiations with the British are over, we will start fighting against Japan!" Wang Yuze said.
"British people? They are still holding on with us, aren't they? Your Majesty, why don't our naval warships go to India or Australia to make sure the British are so scared that they will urinate and then talk to us!" said Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng.
"Haha! This is a good idea. However, it shouldn't be necessary. The British are already in a state of anxiety and they will negotiate with us soon!" Wang Yuze said confidently.
"The fire the Military Intelligence Agency pointed in South Africa is very good! It is said that the British are already crazily drawing troops from the country to prepare to suppress the Boers. However, after equipping our weapons, the strength of these Boers is also as good as that of the Boers.
Very powerful. He defeated the British and almost drove them out of South Africa!" Chief of Staff Xiong Wu smiled. Obviously, the Military Intelligence Bureau caught fire in the British backyard, which forced the British to let go and bow their heads down.
The noble head and China are looking for a way to end the war.
"Well! It is also very beneficial for us to put the British into the quagmire of South Africa. In addition, these Boers not only have our support, but also the Germans also secretly support them. The British have suffered this time
After we hold back the British, we can do our best to solve the Japanese and then develop the country!" Wang Yuze said.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Foreign Affairs is looking for a visit!" At this time, the Chief of Guard Wu Hao reported.
"Please come in! The British probably can't hold on anymore and want to talk to us!" Wang Yuze said with great affirmation.
"See Your Majesty!" Wu Tingfang first saluted Wang Yuze, and then greeted his colleagues. Then he said, "Your Majesty, Lord Lancedon, the British Foreign Minister, sent someone to contact me and wanted to see me tomorrow morning. The British should
I can't hold on anymore!"
"Haha, it's not as expected. Then, you will have a good talk with the British tomorrow and try your best to win the benefits for the empire!" Wang Yuze smiled. Now that Britain is in an extremely critical situation, I'm afraid it won't be
It will be so tough again, which gives China the opportunity to slap Britain hard.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I know what to do!" Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang nodded repeatedly.
On October 17, 1899, Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang and British Foreign Minister Lord Lance Dorn held a peace talks again. Perhaps because of the British's continuous unlucky period, Lord Lance Dorn this time was not
He was so arrogant before.
"Lord, how have your country considered the conditions for the ceasefire proposed by our country? You know, now our country has ended the war with the United States and Russia, and is about to launch a final blow to Japan. However, His Majesty the Emperor of Our country has decided,
Before launching the war against Japan, we must end the negotiations with the UK. So, this puts great pressure on me!" said Wu Tingfang, the Chinese Foreign Minister.
"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, Britain is also very sincere in its desire to end the war with China and restore peace! However, the conditions proposed by your country are too harsh and too difficult for others. Therefore, the British government cannot accept such conditions." Lord Lance Dunn
Said.
"Is that right? If your country is still so tough, then our country has no choice. Our army has completed assembly and the navy's warships have also completed maintenance. The next step is to launch an attack on Japan or
Turn around and head south!" Wu Tingfang said with his eyes narrowed.
Lord Lansdone was shocked. Of course, he understood Wu Tingfang's meaning very well. The Chinese army was ready. If he could no longer reach an agreement with Britain, the Chinese army would start to attack India or Australia.
Now Britain has fallen into the quagmire of South Africa. If China attacks India or Australia, Britain will not be able to resist it.
"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, I believe that the differences between our two countries should be resolved through negotiations rather than war. Otherwise, once the war breaks out, it will be very unfavorable for both of us!"
Lord Lancedon said quickly. If the negotiations with China break down again, causing China to attack India or Australia, the British cabinet will definitely not let him go.
Wu Tingfang nodded and said, "So, do you still have any objections to the conditions you have raised to us?"
"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, after communicating with the Cabinet, the Cabinet instructed that Myanmar and Straits colonies could be transferred to China. However, the amount of war reparations is too large and Britain cannot afford it!" said Lord Lansdone.
"Lord, the war reparation of 200 million pounds is not much for Britain." Wu Tingfang insisted.
Lord Lancedon shook his head and said, "His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, our country can only pay your country a war reparation of 50 million pounds. And your country must release all captured British soldiers and, at the same time, stop the South Africa.
The Boers’ aid.”
"Lord, we have never helped the Boers!" Wu Tingfang said hurriedly.
"But those Boers used the standard weapons of the Central Team!" Lord Lancedon said gritting his teeth.
"Well, we have only had two arms trades with the Boers. The Boers have money and they want to buy weapons, so we can of course buy them. If these Boers didn't have a coastline, we would still be selling them.
Give them a few battleships!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile.
"What? His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, China's actions are a serious provocation to the British Empire!" Lord Lancedon said furiously. Battleships are undoubtedly the most powerful weapon in this era. The Chinese actually want to sell battleships to the Boers.
, obviously, I just want to go against the UK!
"Haha! Lord Lord, why are you so angry? Didn't we sell it to the Boers in the end? But if our two countries continue to be in a state of war, in order to raise funds for the war, we can only sell it to countries in need
Weapons," Wu Tingfang said. His words revealed a strong threat. If Britain does not agree to the conditions proposed by China, China will not only attack India and Australia, but also continue to assist the Boers. At that time,
If Britain wants to suppress the resistance of these Boers, it may have to pay a greater price. This is definitely not what the British government wants to see.
"Well, Mr. Foreign Minister, we can increase the war reparations to 100 million pounds, which is our bottom line. However, China must ensure that it will no longer sell weapons to the Boers, and promise not to attack India and Australia!"
Lord Stoon said.
Wu Tingfang thought about it and said: "Britain paid China 150 million pounds of war reparations, and China promised not to sell weapons to the Boers and release all British prisoners of war. As for India and Australia issues, as long as our two countries did not start a war
, our country will not attack India and Australia!”
"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, 150 million pounds is too much!" Lord Lancedon still disagreed.
"Lord, this is our bottom line. If your country still disagrees, I can only apologize!" Wu Tingfang said directly. Obviously, after the negotiations broke down, the next military strike was followed.
Lord Lancedon was very angry. The Chinese repeatedly threatened them with military means, but he had no choice.
"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, I need to contact the country and must obtain the consent of the cabinet!" Lord Lancedon said.
"No problem!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile. He knew that victory was in sight.
Lord Lancedon contacted the British Cabinet on the same day and sent the conditions for China to the Cabinet. After discussion, the British Cabinet agreed to accept the conditions for China.
So, on the morning of October 18, Wu Tingfang and Lord Lansdorn signed the Sino-British Beijing Treaty in Beijing!
