During the negotiations, the most feared unexpected situations that were uncontrollable. For example, what the diplomats led by Sa Daoyi faced today, Yang Hao suddenly participated in and presided over a series of resolutions on Japan's issues.

Yang Hao has always been a mentor and leader, with a far-sighted remote control command of his homework. The great powers have dealt with the army many times, and they don’t have many opportunities to meet him as the real person. And most of the time, Yang Hao is constantly refreshing and always controlling the overall situation, making the great powers who are used to tricking are very uncomfortable.

Today, he suddenly became a noble leader who participated in such negotiations filled with extortion and stinking smell, which made people feel suspicious.

Perhaps the major matters that determine a country's future foreign policy will be the turn of the Supreme Leader to make decisions in person. Who has ever seen such a great person who would sit with a group of diplomats and discuss money in a scattered manner? It's too much price!

Things are abnormal, and Sa Daoyi keenly feels a strong atmosphere of conspiracy, so at the beginning, he put away his edge without hesitation, chose to watch calmly, and judge from clues what kind of intention Yang Hao is.

As the party involved, the Japanese minister gritted his teeth and stood up. With the heroic belief that he would become a leader without success, Muro Somitsumi handed over the duties of the Foreign Minister to the King of Nishinoji, and served as the negotiator for this negotiation. Faced with the huge pressure of Yang Hao's condescending pressure, he felt humiliated and allowed the other party to criticize without mercy.

Today, representatives of the most powerful country in the world are gathered together, and each person is carrying billions of conditions. Yang Hao looked down and looked like a moving treasure house, flashing with intoxicating golden light.

"The funds needed for China's career will all be put on you! Since it is delivered to you, how can it be worth it if you don't bite it hard?"

He did not hide his greed and arrogance at all, and opened his mouth to expose the people's attempts to detour and tactfully, and then poured the tricks he had learned from foreigners over the years onto them without any hesitation.

"...You said before that there is not enough conflict between China and Japan, so it is impossible to negotiate on territorial cedes and political interference. According to my understanding, it should be the common law of your major powers, that is, first of all, some territorial disputes or something must occur before negotiations can be made."

Yang Hao unambiguously misinterpreted the tactful words of various countries, but pointed out the cold and domineering faces hidden under their high-sounding mask of civilization.

The previous round of Sino-Japanese negotiations, although the various terms proposed by Li Hongzhang were formed by his evil intentions, were perfunctory borrowing the core of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, but in fact, they were the common standards adopted by strong countries in this era to bully weak countries. Cut land, pay compensation, extraterritorial legal power, garrison, and political interference. The cruel exploitation and exploitation of defeated countries at all levels and impose humiliation on other nations.

For their own interests, the great powers forced their intervention in, and the excuse that there was no territorial dispute between China and Japan, but only a military conflict. Even if they have happened on China's territory so far, it did not cause uncontrollable consequences. On the contrary, Japan has paid more than 100,000 people and almost the results of the entire Meiji Restoration for decades. In the words of representatives of various countries, let's just let this happen, you haven't suffered much loss.

After getting to this point, Yang Hao could no longer comment, so he made a quick decision.

"Now, my warships are parked in the inland sea of ​​Japan. My army has occupied Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki! As long as I am happy, I can increase troops to occupy the entire Kyushu Island at any time and burn the war to any coastal city in Japan! So, please tell me, according to the rules that are common to all countries, how much does Japan pay to stop me?"

Yang Hao's words were aggressive, his eyes were sharp and he glanced at the foreigners of all sizes and big, and his bare domineering will was unconcealed.

Sa Daoyi felt that he understood. With such a fierce and fierce attitude, there was no one in China who could do it. Traditional Chinese people were used to being gentle, respectful, frugal, and those scholars who had lived for hundreds of years under the Qing Dynasty could not face the words of the great powers, "I'm just a gangster, what can you do?"

They all have shame and shame. They all claim to be civilized, but they cannot let go of their hands and feet in diplomatic affairs. Facing a group of robbers wearing civilization, they can only suffer depressedness and be deceived again and again.

Representative figures, please refer to the unequal treaties signed by Li Hongzhang. If you win, you suffer losses at the negotiating table, and you lose, you will pay a greater price. A group of Qing Tartars in the court who sold their land without feeling sorry for the command of the blind, and a large group of Qingliu officials who did not care about their own affairs, and they did not care about any national dignity and territorial integrity.

The inertia formed over thousands of years has made the bureaucrats on this land accustomed to the cruel style of internal and external affairs. They sit indifferently and watch the foreign land invade the country, burn, kill, loot and harm countless people, but there is no humiliation or anger. They only use it as an excuse to denounce military generals and corruption in the country's wealth, and do everything they can.

Morality, benevolence and righteousness, the style of gentlemen? Since the Northern Song Dynasty, fewer and fewer Chinese literati have existed among Chinese literati. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, when the Donglin Party rose, it was simply completely shameless. While shamelessly calling itself a gentleman, calling others a villain, he madly destroyed those soldiers who made sacrifices and ruined the great Han family's country.

Since the Qing Dynasty’s 250 years, this style has penetrated into the bones and spread to the so-called “Confucians”. It only uses everything to be an official. Each one becomes more clumsy and stupid, which makes people angry and helpless!

Since the Qianlong period, the British have seen through this land, from the emperor to the ministers, and also saw the numbness, slowness and indifference of the people, so they dared to press forward step by step, constantly cutting flesh and sucking blood from this fat and prosperous country, eating oil all over their mouths.

Until Yang Hao suddenly rose and the situation completely changed.

"How could such a person come out? He is completely different from other Chinese people. He is even more unafraid of the tough methods of Western powers. His rogue skills are so pure. Could it be that he is really a wise man who has completely seen through Western civilization? It's incredible."

Sa Daoyi did not have the idea of ​​making a stand for the Japanese immediately. The most important thing about the British Empire was to ensure the stability of the Far East situation, rather than rushing out to bear the anger of the Chinese for them. Compared with the losses of the Far East colonies, he would rather sit still and watch Japan be bombed to pieces.

Yang Hao's fierce speech even went over the heads of all the Japanese and pushed straight to the ministers of various countries, with Sa Daoyi in it and there was no way to avoid it.

The shame and anger of being ignored permeated Mu Ao Zongguang's chest. His old face was filled with blood, and his blood was like a steamed crab. His short body was trembling violently. His hands were clenched into fists in a slightly wide suit sleeve. He stubbornly looked up at Yang Hao, gritted his teeth and shouted: "With the dignity of China and bullying the weak without regard for morality, this is not the common moral spirit of your country. Not only is your country not ashamed, but it imposed humiliation on the Yamato nation. Can you say that it is worthy of the three thousand years of Chinese moral civilization?"

Yang Hao smiled sarcastically and said coldly: "The morality and righteousness of China have always been a nation, country and nation that yearns for civilization. Those barbaric people who have studied for two thousand years only understand the way of animals are only worthy of enjoying the education we give! In addition, I have to remind you that the Chinese have always been modest, so we only say that we have been civilization for five thousand years. Don't make a mistake, thank you."

He was too lazy to mention the word "Japanese", but he classified it as an uncivilized barbarian.

The phosians of the Lu Ao Zong blew his lungs and couldn't help but take a step forward and defend himself. Yang Hao waved his hand and shouted: "Okay! I don't have time to go around with you. Do we agree to our terms? In one sentence!"

For the first time, Sa Daoyi realized that for hundreds of years, countless weak countries that have been invaded and bullied by Britain and other powerful powers have been helpless and humiliated when facing powerful power. Who will give you fair conditions? It is clear that those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish! If you don’t agree, then continue to eat shells!

Japan could not withstand it. There was no territory at all. All cities were concentrated in the coastal areas. Without strong naval defense, they could only be cleaned up and had no power to fight back.

He sighed in his heart and stood up and said loudly: "Dear Commander-in-Chief, we have no intention of a dissatisfaction in the Far East. For the previous conflicts, both sides can formulate an acceptable solution. But Japan is a free and independent country after all, and occupying its territory is not beneficial to China. China and Japan have been friendly for thousands of years. Such historical achievements should be cherished."

Yang Hao raised his hand and pressed down: "I don't agree with what you said. Where can we say friendship between China and Japan? Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, China has been constantly enlightening the barbaric and ignorant Japanese, and has evolved them from savages who eat raw meat and drink blood to later civilized people. But how did they repay China? In the Sui Dynasty, they openly claimed to be a country of sunrise and wanted to be on an equal footing with China. For thousands of years since the Song Dynasty, I only saw history books full of Japanese pirates invading our borders, but the Japanese did not repay the country of cultural sect leader. For nearly two thousand years, what is there to cherish and friendship among nations that have not learned to be grateful?"

Mu Ao Zongguang wanted to refute that he wanted to say that China was no longer the orthodox Chinese, and had become a barbarian since far surpassing the destruction of the Song Dynasty. Instead, Japan inherited the essence of Chinese culture, so China is not counted as...

But if it is reasonable and useful, what else should you do? In this era when the range of the warship determines the size of the territory, who is so stupid to listen to you calling this and that!

Sa Daoyi smiled bitterly. The leader named Yang was too direct and he didn't have any face at all. The remaining tricks could not be used.

With his gray eyes turned, the British said seriously: "We agree with Japan's apologies for a series of previous war acts, compensate for the losses suffered by your country, and hold a group of responsible persons accountable. However, the Chinese Navy and Army must withdraw from Japanese territory. As an ally, the British Empire cannot sit idly by and watch Japan suffer unjust blackmail."

"I have to pay, okay!" Yang Hao's snow-white teeth flashed with a cold light, showing a disturbing strange smile. "In addition to the compensation requested last time, our Lord Li must pay mental damages, and Japan must pay all the military expenses and the landing army's expenses. Let's stop talking nonsense, I can make the decision for 100 million ounces of two silvers," he said.

One hundred million taels! You really dare to ask for it!

The foreigners almost burst into anger! Are you so shameless? At most, we started with a base of tens of millions. In recent years, we have not taken much money from China. You can do it. It's better, it will cost 400 million taels of silver. Is this the debt that all Japanese sell themselves as slaves to repay for generations?

With Japan's economic level, even if there is no war, their annual fiscal revenue will not be able to afford high interest rates. They will have to pay 400 million taels of compensation, which will be completed in fifty or one hundred years?

This is just a matter of not wanting to talk about it!

Sa Daoyi's face was gloomy and he wanted to spit on Yang Hao's face. There was no such a huge price, at least you should have to be a little bit similar. It's easier to step down with a price that everyone can accept!

The collective sinking made Yang Hao sneer particularly harsh: "Haha, it seems that you think the price is a bit too much? Without the corresponding strength, don't have so many disproportionate ambitions! Since things have been done, the consequences must be borne. If you want to control the situation in Asia, I want to eliminate these thousand-year-old major troubles in one fell swoop! China is the only civilization on earth that has been passed down continuously. It will continue to be glorious forever. No one can control our destiny, no!"

The British and Americans looked at each other and saw the deepest concerns in their hearts.

The British Empire is determined to dominate the world and will never allow the situation in the Far East to be uncontrollable. If the United States wants to expand its power in the Atlantic and Pacific, it does not need other challengers to gain foothold. They are all brothers from their ancestors. They work together to create white Western rule. How can China allow it to be the best in the East?

To resolve disputes, everything depends on strength, and everything must be war!

“We need to think about it seriously.”

Sa Daoyi chose to delay for the time being. He could not continue negotiations under Yang Hao's tough attitude, and the result was not what he was happy to see.

Yang Hao knocked on the table with his finger and said arrogantly: "You have three days, and I don't have much time to argue."

The foreigners retreated.

Back at the consulate, Sa Daoyi bluntly told him: "It will take two years for the British Empire to prepare for war. We all know the power of the Chinese navy. If we rely on its local defense, we have no chance of winning for the time being."

The Americans agreed: "They rely solely on their huge territory and population, which can support the development of industry and commerce for many years. External blockade is useless. But Japan must not fall into their hands, otherwise no one in the Pacific will be able to control it."

Sa Daoyi turned his cold eyes and stared at the Japanese and asked, "How many troops can your country recruit to fight against China's attack?"

Muro Ao Zongguang felt cold in his heart. In the eyes of the great powers, Japan was a victim of cannon fodder. However, they had already formulated such a strategy and could not be changed because of temporary tensions.

Sighing deeply, the Japanese gritted their teeth: "We can always drag China. As long as the support from all countries continues to be supported, our Yamato good men are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice!"

Sa Daoyi nodded with satisfaction: "The endless military consumption cannot be afforded by China today. Their navy is too small to form an effective rotation."

"Then let them hold them back first. There is a crack that keeps leaking. I think they still have the energy to continue to clean up the domestic situation."

"We will have the choice to support and oppose forces. The parties in the south and the Qing government in the west are temporary allies that can be used."

"The will of the Tsar cannot be refused. The great Tsarist Russia firmly safeguards territorial integrity, and we can cause trouble from Mongolia and Western Xinjiang."

"The material support from the United States can ensure that if the production and supply of weapons and ammunition is needed, it requires Britain and Germany to open up some technology."

"We can solve this problem ourselves, and the United States can just give Japan some loans."

...In front of the Japanese, the foreigners openly discussed the strategies to start.

That's right, this so-called negotiation is still a delaying tactic. They finally discovered Yang Hao's attitude, not a bluffing blackmail. The terms proposed by Li Hongzhang cannot be changed, and there is no better way to resolve the war.

That will make a continuous bleeding wound between China and Japan, and use up all the strength accumulated by the two countries for many years. The one who wins the victory will inevitably be the great powers. They only need to pay for some industrial productivity and agricultural products that they cannot consume.

As the Japanese, hurry up and give birth to children and train them to become soldiers and send them to the battlefield.

Three days passed in a flash. Yang Hao had no hope of the foreign devils discovering with conscience that there must be a decisive battle between the East and the West, and they would not let China calm down before.

Under the shadow of the two sides fighting each other, various aspects emerge one after another.

The mission fleet that completed the Hawaiian route detection returned to the voyage. When passing through Japan, it was slammed firmly and then returned with honor.

In Bei Goryeo, where all the nations could not get into it, more troops were gathering. They were quietly transported from the sea to Xiaguan quietly, and the strength of the occupied areas was unstoppable.

The military forces began to train, and were drawn as units, and sent to Kitakyushu to replace the Marine Corps. The endless supply materials from this world were directly smashed into warehouses through Yang Hao's "Yanhuang Ding"!

The Japanese in this era were brainwashed even more than China. Under the bloody edict of the Japanese Emperor Muruhito, tens of thousands of young and middle-aged people were drawn out of labor production. Their coastal industries were destroyed anyway, and the Americans dumped countless products, with the largest amount of arms and food that could make the Japanese unable to starve to death without farming, but the entire nation turned into a war machine, which was equivalent to stepping into death step by step.

From the winter of 1896 to the spring of 1897, it was bloody during the suicide attacks of countless Japanese people.r1152
