Of course, now is not the time to discuss the international situation. After a few people wandered outside for half an hour, everyone inside has calmed down. Gao Shaoyi signaled that we can go back. Now these people are in a state of collapse, although we will not mention them.
What to promise, but at least it is much better than before, at least they understand what their current status is.
When Gao Shaoyi and the others entered the house again, in addition to these leaders, someone else brought in some communication equipment. In an instant, the people in Dongdi also understood that the other party would not drag us down, even if
We want to communicate with the above, and the other party also wants to communicate immediately.
"I suggest adjourning the meeting today because too many things happened today and we need to contact the capital. We are not calm today and there is no way to continue the talks."
Taro Kaga put forward his own request. He himself was not calm, let alone other people. If he entered into negotiations under such circumstances, it would be difficult to safeguard the interests of Dongdi State at the negotiating table.
"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your request. If there is no negotiation today, our country will enter a full-scale war with your country starting from this afternoon. As for where our country will attack, that is our own business.
This is not a threat of war, this is something that is actually going to happen."
After Gao Shaoyi finished speaking, he came to the window with his hands behind his back. Taro Kaga and others also saw the fleet on the sea outside. It seemed that the number was larger than before. In this case, they still had a choice.
Is there any room for it? How did you threaten others with cannons back then? Now their cannons are set up at your doorstep.
"This is power politics and a threat to our country."
Taro Kaga said angrily. There was still a trace of blood on the corner of this guy's mouth. He was so angry just now that a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"What did your former Prime Minister say to me back then? He threw the negotiation content in front of me and asked me to sign directly without even giving me a chance to speak. Now we are much more moderate than you were at that time. We
Enter the talks immediately, otherwise our fleet may set off at any time, and we may go to your capital to negotiate."
Li Hongtang snorted coldly and opened the negotiation minutes in front of him.
Taro Kaga really couldn't bear what he saw in front of him. When Li Hongtang was talking to them, he couldn't straighten his waist. How dare he say such strong words? Everyone, including other officials of the Daqian Empire, was frightened. Now,
All of them were arrogant.
Gao Shaoyi came here just to exert pressure, and was not prepared to participate in the specific negotiations. Therefore, Gao Shaoyi did not return to the negotiating table, but sat on the sofa next to him. Compared with the hard chair, this place seemed more comfortable.
"Now let's talk about the first cession of Hengfu Port..."
"Please wait a moment. I solemnly apply again. Now that our staff is unwell, we recommend starting negotiations tomorrow."
Taro Kaga interrupted Li Hongtang. Except for himself, everyone else was breathing rapidly. How could they continue the negotiation in such an excited state?
"I must remind you that if you insist on stopping negotiations today, you have all heard what our Duke said just now, then starting from 6 o'clock this afternoon, both of us will return to a state of war, and our fleet will
One goal is your capital city. It is estimated that our fleet has arrived before you return to the capital city. Next time, do you want your emperor to come to negotiate with us in person? Think about that scene carefully..."
Li Hongtang is going to give them five minutes to let you think about it. Of course, these are also the last five minutes. If we still can't start the negotiation after five minutes, we people also need to be dignified. We don't have the time to continue.
Spend it with you.
A picture appeared in Taro Kaga's mind. A dozen warships of the Suppression Army arrived at the harbor of the capital and bombarded the coastal areas of the capital. What impact would it have at that time? Including their palace, it seemed that
They are all within the attack range of the artillery. If the palace is bombarded and the huge photo is published in the newspaper, the entire Dongji Kingdom will most likely fall into disarray.
We can never let such a thing happen. If the king of a country comes to negotiate and suffers such humiliation, the will of the people of Dongdi will be broken. Such a thing can never happen, so even if we pay today
No matter how high the price is, we must reach an armistice agreement with the person in front of us.
"Please start..."
Taro Kaga's voice was very low. This old man was considered a hardliner within the Dongdi Kingdom. Li Hongtang originally thought that the other party would not calm down, but he did not expect that the other party could still maintain his rationality in this state. This is indeed the Dongdi Kingdom.
cornerstone.
"Article 1: The cession of Hengfu Port as the territory of the Daqian Empire will take effect immediately after the signing date."
Li Hongtang said arrogantly, "I originally thought that the people who wanted to cede Dongdi Kingdom directly were unwilling, but now there is no need to consider them. A seaport is nothing compared to the safety of your capital city."
"I hope your country can consider our current situation and our country is willing to rent to you for ninety-nine years..."
"I'm sorry, I don't agree. Our country requires cession."
Li Hongtang interrupted Kaga Taro arrogantly.
Of course, Li Hongtang also noticed it, and Taro Kaga also accelerated the pace of negotiations. When he mentioned this point before, Taro Kaga was always perfunctory and did not tell his true thoughts. Unfortunately, he has spoken out his true thoughts now.
, the Suppression Army has no longer considered it. We don’t have the time to wait for you to discuss it. We are just giving a notice now.
Taro Kaga closed his eyes and nodded painfully.
The country can no longer be saved, why do you need me to save face? In fact, the effect of leasing it out is no different from ceding it. If you have the strength in the future, you can take it back at any time. If you don't have the strength, this treaty is an iron law.
.
"Article 2: Return the compensation of 200 million silver coins to our country in the last treaty."
When Li Hongtang said this, there was a hint of bitterness in his voice, but he suddenly became happy. This was to save his reputation. He lost 200 million silver coins from his own hands, and he wanted to get them all back this time... This chapter has been completed!
