Chapter 25 The New "Treaty of Shimonoseki" (2)
"This time, we are the biggest winners, why are we on par with Russia? Those damn Russian Russians, if it weren't for us, their bullshit Pacific Fleet would have been eaten by the Japanese in one bite. Look at the arrogant look of the Russian bearded minister, I really can't stand it. We can obviously take it back directly from Lushun Port, so why do we have to be cheaper for the Russians?"
Tang Jian tasted the red wine in the glass and said, "If he wants to be arrogant, do you want him to be arrogant? Haha, if he wants to take it back, let him take it. I will see if he has such a hard mouth to swallow it."
"Huh?" Wan Jiankang held the wine glass with confusion.
"I must explain it clearly? To give a very simple example, if you say you are beating someone, is it better to beat someone at the entrance of the village, or to run to someone else's village?" Tang Jian gave Wang Jianchuan a burst of joy.
"It must be a pleasure to beat someone at the entrance of my village. There are some guys at home, and you can call people at any time, and you can beat them quickly. You can make dumplings at any time." Wang Jianchuan said as he touched him and was so painful that he was knocked by Tang Jian.
"That's right. Let's show weakness first and lead others to your doorstep...and then, hehe..." Tang Jian smirked.
Wang Jianchuan suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand. Lushun is opposite Weihaiwei, we can at any time..." "Pa" Tang Jian gave Wang Jianchuan another thunder and said: "Just know, why do you still say it?"
"Yeah, I know, I know..." Wang Jianchuan replied happily.
"Oh, Lord Tang, why are you here? Why don't you go down and dance with everyone?" At this time, the voice of Russian Minister Vette came from behind Tang Jian and the others.
"Oh, dear Ambassador Witt, I am not good at dancing, so I should appreciate your dancing postures." Tang Jian turned around and smiled.
"Oh? I thought Lord Tang was both civil and military! Then Lord Tang should appreciate the civilized and elegant dance postures of Westerners!" Witt raised his glass and smiled, then took his female companion down the stairs.
"How could these yellow-skinned monkeys dance the elegant social dance like us Westerners? Haha... no matter how you wear a suit, you are still dragging a pig's tail." Vette's smug laughter came from the stairs, and then a woman covered her mouth and suppressed her laughter.
"What an arrogant Russian Russian!" Wang Jianchuan said hatefully.
Tang Jian pressed Wang Jianchuan's shoulder and said calmly: "Hmph, see how long he is arrogant!"
At this time, elegant Western dance music was played in the hall downstairs, and ministers from various countries danced gracefully in the middle of the dance floor with their own female companions' hands. Of course, there were Witt and his standard Russian female companions with big breasts and no brains.
In Tang Jian's eyes, these so-called gentlemen in tuxedo are like wolves in sheepskins. They have peace talks and mediation, but they just want to get some benefits from Japan's prey.
Tang Jian never believed in the mediation mentioned by these great powers. For the wolves, what they discussed was who scored more and who scored less, rather than sincerely helping the antelope.
Today, this antelope is no longer China, but Japan defeated by the Beiyang Fleet.
Tang Jian didn't want to see these so-called gentlemen's hypocritical faces again. He gestured to Wang Jianchuan and returned to his room alone.
"Jingfang, take me around." Li Hongzhang was supported by Li Jingfang and said tremblingly.
When the contract was fully signed today, Li Hongzhang was particularly happy and full of energy, especially when he saw Hirobu Ito who was disgraced by Tang Jian in the venue, he felt inexplicably happy.
The words "Yun" and "No" from six years ago are still vivid in my mind. Even if Li Hongzhang begs at that time, Hirobuki Ito did not let go.
This time, the roles of the two were swapped, and under the pressure of Tang Jian, Hirobuki Ito also gave him the choice of agreeing and disagreeing.
Whenever he thinks of the despair and helplessness in Ito Hirobuki's eyes, Li Hongzhang feels a sense of revenge.
So, today Li Hongzhang insisted on attending the dance despite Li Jingfang's obstruction. Although he was staggering, he still stood with his shriveled chest. He wanted the imperial powers to know that Li Hongzhang, who was in the form of a victorious party today.
"Father, look, the Japanese are there!" Li Jingfang reminded.
Li Hongzhang tried hard to open his hazy eyes, and indeed saw Hirobuki Ito and Akito Yama Prefecture, and Hirahachiro Togo drinking in a corner of the hall.
Li Hongzhang smiled dryly and said, "Cough cough, let's go, Jingfang, go and visit him with my father. He is my old friend."
