When the negotiations started again, the situation was different from the previous day.
The news of Lan Fang's bombing of Tokyo has spread to Coconut City. Last night, Yuan Jing tried to find Qin Zhiyuan, Huang Bohan, Lu Zhengxiang, and anyone he knew to express his protest, but Qin Zhiyuan and the others did not give Yuan Jing a chance, because they were there Last night, Qin Zhiyuan, Huang Bohan, and Lu Zhengxiang were busy coordinating their interests with representatives from various countries and had no time to talk to Yuan Jing.
Everyone can see that Japan has been completely defeated in this war and has no power to fight back. At this time, no one will lend a helping hand to Japan. Everyone wants to get what they want in this feast. thing.
That's right, it's a feast, a feast to carve up Japan.
Japan began its Meiji Restoration in the 1860s, and it has been going on for 60 years now.
60 years, which happens to be a period of time in Chinese society, can also be described as a cycle of reincarnation, which has special significance.
The Japanese are indeed very good at learning, and they have enough endurance to remain patient in difficult circumstances and carry out their work meticulously.
A whole decade of hard work has significantly increased Japan's national strength, enabling Japan to gain the international status it had previously dreamed of.
Regarding Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom actually have their own demands. For example, the Colorado-class battleships being built by the Americans still use 14-inch main guns, while the British Nelson-class battleships and the Japanese Nagato-class battleships have already Using 16-inch main guns, if Japanese technology can be obtained, the American Colorado-class battleships can reach a higher level.
As a long-established maritime power, the British did not lack technology, but like France, which was severely damaged in the world war, the British urgently needed to restore their national strength, so the market of the Republic of China became increasingly important.
A common man is innocent, yet he is guilty of possessing a jade.
What's more, the Japanese whose own actions have caused strong dissatisfaction from all major powers at this time.
They have to vent their dissatisfaction. The British and Americans have never been philanthropists. They will speak for the Japanese, maybe because the Japanese have given them some promises, but when everyone can see that the Japanese have completely failed. , those promises have evaporated.
If you need a commitment, wouldn't it be better to cooperate with Lan Fang, who has become a winner?
So Yuan Jing became the most unhappy person in the entire Coconut City. When the negotiations resumed the next day, Yuan Jing was dressed in black, with a headband wrapped around his head, and a rib and a sword inserted around his waist. That was it. He walked into the venue with a sad and angry look.
When they saw Yuan Jing, everyone had shock on their faces.
Look at Yuan Jing's outfit, he is trying to find someone to fight for.
That’s funny. Modern society has entered a civilized society, or everyone present thinks that it has entered a civilized society. You must be well-educated, and you must be graceful when you represent the image of the country. Stalking will be despised. However, his bravery was despised by everyone.
Ignoring everyone's incomprehensible looks, Yuan Jing walked to the center of the negotiation venue, looked around at the various expressions, and then said calmly: Just yesterday, our capital was raided by the Lanfang Air Force. In one day, 150,000 people died in the flames, 2 million people were displaced, and the economic losses were countless. I want to ask you, is this what you want? Is this the result you want to see? When 50 million Japanese Being forced into a desperate situation, have you ever thought about the consequences? As the Prime Minister of Japan, I cannot forgive myself, whether emotionally or legally. If something like this happens, I, as the Prime Minister, must be responsible for it. So today, if there is punishment, Yuan Jing should bear it.
this
Could it be that Yuan Jing wanted to commit suicide by caesarean section?
Don't sound like victims. Although you are indeed victims now, don't forget that this kind of pain was imposed on us as early as 25 years ago. Have you forgotten all the past history? Today's Tokyoites are miserable, so who should the souls of Lushun go to tell us about our actions in Tokyo? Did we kill only seven people in Tokyo? If your fleet is miserable, then the Beiyang Navy that sank in the Yellow Sea Doesn’t it deserve the Zhenyuan that you dismantled seven years ago? Have you forgotten about it? Lu Zhengxiang immediately stood up to refute.
Be strict with others and be lenient with yourself, this is what the Japanese say.
The Lushun Massacre occurred during the Sino-Japanese War. At that time, more than 20,000 people in Lushun were massacred in an organized manner.
What happened in Lushun was a mistake made by history. It has become the past. How can people now bear the consequences of mistakes left by history? Yuan Jing was not busy having a caesarean section. When it comes to the national image, Yuan Jing must respond. .
Don’t talk about history. From a time point of view, it has indeed become history, but from an emotional point of view, we have never forgotten it. It’s not just us, including you Japanese, you have never forgotten the Sino-Japanese War and the Qing Dynasty. Victory, when your soldiers and diplomats returned home with the spoils of war, didn't your people cheer for joy? When you provoked our Lanfang bottom line again and again, didn't your people dream of another victory? Now you have failed. Yes, of course you can act like a victim to win sympathy, but when you win, have you ever cared about other people's feelings? Lu Zhengxiang's righteous rebuke.
Diplomats live by their words.
Politicians, on the other hand, mostly want to take advantage of the situation.
Unfortunately, the current trend is that Lan Fang is the winner, and the right to speak is in Lan Fang's hands, so even if Yuan Jing has great abilities, Yuan Jing cannot use them.
If Mr. Prime Minister wants to take responsibility, that's fine. When you leave Lanfang by boat, no one will interfere with whatever you want to do. But if Mr. Prime Minister wants to cause a scandal here, then that's fine too. Lan Fang Fang still has enough bombs. The bombing will continue, and the scale will become larger and larger. The return will involve every corner of Japan, and will continue until another prime minister comes to admit failure. Lu Zhengxiang did not shy away from warning.
If Yuan Jing really dies during the negotiations, no matter what the reason is, it will be an out-and-out scandal for Lan Fang.
Therefore, Lu Zhengxiang warned that if Yuan Jing wanted to use his own death to frame Lan Fang for injustice, then Lan Fang would definitely take revenge, and the revenge methods would be more intense.
You, you are bullying others too much. Tanaka Yiichi, who had been watching with cold eyes, finally couldn't help but speak up.
As the Minister of War, Tanaka Giichi is the big boss of all Japanese armies. The Japanese army has been defeated again and again on the battlefield. No matter how many objective reasons there are, Tanaka Giichi cannot shirk his responsibility. In fact, because of this, Tanaka Giichi It is more appropriate to commit seppuku.
When Li Zhongtang begged you to reduce some of the compensation to pay for his return to China, did you agree? Is your behavior considered too much? Have you ever reflected on yourselves? No, you didn't. You even regard those cruel actions as heroes The deeds are talked about with great enthusiasm. With your pearls in front, don’t blame our wooden coffins in the back. When Lu Zhengxiang talked about Li Zhongtang, he did not forget to cup his hands to show respect.
When Lu Zhengxiang became an official, Li Hongzhang was still the Minister of Beiyang. Regardless of Li Hongzhang's reputation, Lu Zhengxiang still retained his respect for Li Hongzhang.
It is precisely because he was a diplomat that Lu Zhengxiang can understand Li Hongzhang's difficulties. Those who say that Li Hongzhang is traitorous can ask themselves, under the circumstances at that time, could it be possible to avoid betraying the country if someone else replaced him? If Li Hongzhang were replaced by himself, could he have done it? better
Stop talking nonsense, we couldn't beat you in the Jiawu Year. We accepted how much money you wanted and how much land you wanted to cut. We gave it to you. Now if you are not convinced, you can go back and regroup, and we can start over again. Qin Zhisheng was tit for tat.
In Lanfang's military system, apart from Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhisheng is the first person to do his part. Qin Zhisheng is qualified to say this. If Tanaka Yiichi really still wants to fight, Qin Zhisheng would not mind doing it again.
do it again
Are you kidding me? Can we still fish out the Japanese southbound fleet and the Japanese northbound fleet that sank to the bottom of the sea?
Even if it is fished out, can so many dead naval essences be resurrected?
So Hara Kei and Tanaka Yiichi fell into a long silence.
Well, we can't beat you. We agreed on how much money you want and how much land you want to cut. We gave Yuan Jing finally a sigh of relief and spoke. At this moment, it was as if the whole person had lost all energy and had aged out of thin air. Decades old.
Japan must return the original Japanese-controlled areas on Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands, Korea, Ryukyu Islands, Penghu Islands, and Yingzhou to Lanfang and Lu Zhengxiang.
No, those places don't belong to Lanfang. If they want to be returned, we should also return them to the Republic of China. What does Lanfang have to do with you? Tanaka Yiichi immediately protested.
It can be said that Yuan Jing's face was blank and he had no intention of arguing.
The Prime Minister, Tanaka Yoshi, is so angry that his eyes are about to burst.
You can insist on it.
Tanaka Yiichi let out a long sigh, sat down on the ground and buried his head between his knees. It was obvious that Tanaka Yiichi was crying like a wounded lone wolf.
Japan must cede the Mariana Islands, Marshall Islands, Caroline Islands, Ogasawara Islands, etc. to Lan Fang as war compensation to Lan Fang. Lu Zhengxiang seemed not to hear Tanaka Giichi's cry and continued to make his demands.
But Yuan Jing still agreed expressionlessly, without any dissatisfaction.
Japan must compensate Lan Fang for military expenses of 1.5 billion Lan Fang yuan. This money must be paid in gold. If the gold is not enough, other items approved by Lan Fang must be used to pay for it. Lu Zhengxiang continued.
It's okay to be silent.
Japan must give up all treaties signed with the Republic of China and give up all rights outside the Republic of China. These rights will be returned to the Republic of China. There were tears in the corners of Lu Zhengxiang's eyes and his voice was surprisingly high.
But Yuan Jing can say whatever he wants this time. Even if Yuan Jing is asked to die, I'm afraid Yuan Jing will agree.
Japan must carry out a disarmament plan. From now on, Japan cannot have an army in the country, and national security will be responsible for Lan Fang. Lu Zhengxiang put forward the most important one.
But this time, Yuan Jing was silent for a long time before nodding in agreement.
When these two words came out of Yuan Jing's mouth, two lines of old tears finally rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
