"Brother Runtian!"

"Brother Zhengming!"

Stepping into the Six Kingdoms Hotel, followed the guide to the left wing of the hall. In order to ensure the normal progress of the negotiations, representatives of China and Japan each had their own lounges before the negotiations began. One side of the Japanese side was placed on the salon on the right wing of the Six Kingdoms Hotel, and China occupied the original restaurant location.

When he entered the door, he saw Cao Rulin talking to Lu Zongyu, who had just stepped down as ambassador to Japan half a year ago. When he heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was Fang Zida who was coming. He hurriedly stepped forward and said hello.

"Brother Zheng Ming, what are your opinions on this peace talk?" After chatting for a few casually, Cao Rulin and Fang Zida walked aside and asked quietly.

"Brother Runtian is the head of diplomacy and the person in charge of this peace talks. Why ask me about this question?" Fang Zida and Cao Rulin were also old friends, and immediately replied with a smile.

Cao Rulin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Zheng Ming is still here to make fun of Brother Wei. Although Brother Wei is wearing the hat of the general diplomatic leader on his head, do you still know how this peace talks have led to? If Brother Zheng Ming does not have to deal with him, these Japanese can sit at the negotiating table?"

"Haha, Brother Runtian is joking." Fang Zida said a few modesty words before saying, "I think Premier Song has already talked to you when Brother Runtian takes over the peace talks?"

"Yes." Cao Rulin nodded.

Fang Zida smiled and said, "Since the government has made such a plan, Brother Runtian will let go. As the head of diplomacy, Brother Runtian should be a professional. It is inevitable that he will come forward to preside over the peace talks. Of course, if there is any need for Zida's help during the period, I will have no choice but to do so. This is also the reason why Premier Song specially asked me to participate."

"With Brother Zheng Ming's words, I feel more confident in my heart." Cao Rulin smiled. In fact, as the chief of diplomatic affairs, Cao Rulin has much more experience in diplomatic negotiations than Fang Zida. The reason for saying these words is just to please Fang Zida. In recent years, since China took back Qing*da, Cao Rulin gradually promoted from a senior foreign minister to a deputy chief and chief position, Fang Zida has made a lot of efforts in it. As a diplomat from the Beiyang Group, Cao Rulin is also choosing a partner to surrender, especially when Yuan Shikai gradually became seriously ill, he slowly leaned towards Fang Zida Group. Today, his attitude even expressed his meaning in a tactful way. Of course, Fang Zida could hear it, and also expressed his acceptance of Cao Rulin in this way.

The two continued to chat for a few words. At this time, the Chinese peace talks members gradually arrived. Cao Rulin took Fang Zida for a walk and communicated with everyone for a while.

At 9:30 in the morning, the Marine Corps guards sent by the US Embassy of the Neutral Kingdom knocked on the door to remind the time was up. Everyone immediately put on their tuxedoes, led by Cao Rulin, and the group went out and followed the guards to the meeting room on the second floor.

The conference room has been laid out, and the Chinese side goes up the stairs on the left and walks through the corridor to enter the conference room, while the Japanese side is just the opposite, and they enter from the right at the same time.

A long table is placed in a conference room of nearly 100 square meters. Both ends of the table are the positions of members of the peace talks between China and Japan. The front and back are mediation representatives from several countries such as Britain, France, Tsarist Russia, and the United States.

As the head of the Chinese side, Cao Rulin sat in the middle unswervingly. Although Fang Zida was not a diplomat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, his identity was not lower than Cao Rulin, so he sat next to his left hand. On the right hand of Cao Rulin was former ambassador to Japan, Lu Zongyu, who would be one of the main assistants of Cao Rulin's negotiations.

Flowers were placed on the long table, and their own small national flags were inserted according to their respective positions. As soon as Fang Zida sat down, he looked at the national flags of China and Japan in the middle, and he immediately frowned.

I don’t know if it was the negligence of the staff who arranged the venue or for other reasons, the Chinese and Japanese flags that were supposed to be parallel were actually slightly higher than the five-color flag of the Chinese government. Fang Zida immediately waved his hand behind him, and a member of his own quickly asked Fang Zida what was wrong. Fang Zida immediately whispered in his ear. Fang Zida glared at him as soon as the other party hesitated, and he was so scared that he nodded repeatedly.

At this time, the Japanese negotiators also walked in. Before they could sit down, they saw a member of the Chinese side suddenly running out and reaching out to look at the shelf with the national flags of the two countries on the table. Under everyone's gaze, the man first pulled out the five-color flag of China, then moved it up and inserted it again. In this way, the Chinese flag with the lower Japanese flag seemed a little higher than the Japanese flag.

"Baga!" Seeing this scene, Japanese ambassador Hirai suddenly turned cold. His head tilted, his mouth curled. A second-class secretary of the embassy who stood behind him hurried forward and relocated the position of Japan's national flag like China just now. Until the Japanese flag was raised again above the Chinese flag, all Japanese negotiators grinned with satisfaction.

But before they could be happy for a few seconds, the Chinese side continued to adjust the position of the Chinese national flag under Fang Zida's instruction and reoccupies the position higher than the Japanese national flag. Of course, the Japanese did not do it. The second-class secretary who had just stepped forward rushed forward and rushed over again without waiting for the Chinese personnel to retreat and pounced on them. The Chinese personnel quickly continued to adjust their original positions. The two of them stared at each other and refused to give in. When you insert me, they inserted the base filled with dense holes.

Before the peace talks began, the two sides made such a fuss, which made the diplomats from all over the world stunned. In the end, the British ambassador Jurden came forward to say hello, and asked the staff to replace the base where the national flag was no longer able to be inserted, and replaced it with a new one. After measuring the national flags of the two countries with a ruler, it was clear that the matter was calmed down.

The peace talks were hosted by British Ambassador Jurden. After the episode, Jurden opened with diplomatic words as the beginning of the negotiations. Then there will be direct contact between China and Japan, while countries as mediators will only watch and attend.

"The Government of the Republic of China has treated our great Japanese empire in unfair treatment in Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Beijing, Fengtian and other places, hostile to our great Japanese empire, and provoked this conflict. As a victim of the conflict, our great Japanese empire was discussed by the cabinet after the request of friendly countries, in order to maintain world peace and Sino-Japanese relations, we are willing to conduct diplomatic negotiations on this military conflict..."

The negotiation officially began after the second-class secretary who had just read the statement. However, after just a few words of this statement from the Japanese side, the Chinese negotiators were in a big uproar. Everyone couldn't believe their own ears. These Japanese were so shameless that they not only pushed the responsibility for the war to China, but also made a series of unreasonable demands.

"...The above is the condition for my great Japanese Empire to accept the end of this military conflict." A few minutes later, the other party finished reading all the contents, and then the second-class secretary closed the documents in his hand and handed them to China with both hands.

Cao Rulin studied in Japan for many years, but he had never seen such a shameless scene. With a dark face, he suppressed his anger and signaled the staff to take the Japanese documents, and then subconsciously looked at Fang Zida beside him.

Fang Zida was not as annoyed as he imagined, but instead had a playful smile on the corner of his mouth. Seeing Cao Rulin's gaze looking at him, he turned a meaningful look back. Cao Rulin nodded immediately and asked Lu Zongyu to take out the same thing and hand it over to the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to read it immediately.

"The Japanese government instructed its expatriates to attack our civilians in Fengtian for no reason, causing a large number of civilian casualties and economic losses in Fengtian. Afterwards, the Republic of China protested to the Japanese government through diplomatic channels, demanding that the Japanese government cooperate, arrest and bring them to justice, and compensate for the economic losses suffered, so as not to escalate the situation. The Japanese government insisted on its own, not only ignored it, but also used the Manchurian Iron Guards and Ronins to block them, and even shot and killed our people and police in the street, which made the situation worse. Although the Chinese government, the garrison, and the garrison, had to deal with the Japanese government many times, the Japanese government not only did not slump, but secretly mobilized the army to carry out shameless sneak attacks on our Fengtian and Qinghai Island, causing fierce firefighting between China and Japan. For this reason, the Republic of China government hereby declares..."

China faced the tit-for-tat and told the whole story of the war one by one, with reasonable and evidence, as well as official documents, telegrams, photos, etc. at that time. These were much more real than the Japanese's empty words. In the end, the Chinese side, like the Japanese, also put forward a series of conditions. After reading the documents, the Chinese personnel handed over the documents to the Japanese side with both hands. The Japanese on the opposite side took them with an ugly expression and lowered their heads and started talking.

"As the plenipotentiary of my Great Japanese Empire, I protest the slander of the Republic of China on my Great Japanese Empire!" Nishihara Kamemi Nishihara cleared his throat and said with his face.

"As the head of diplomacy of the Republic of China and the person in charge of this negotiation, I also protested the Japanese government's reversal of the incident!" Before the other party could finish his speech, Cao Rulin immediately fought back, with a serious expression.

"Baga! You Chinese have no sincerity in peace talks!" Rizhiyi glared at the eyes, slapped the table and jumped up.

"I think you Japanese are not sincere!" Lu Zongyu was not afraid of him. Who would not slap the table? He immediately slapped even louder than him.

"Do you want to inflict our Great Japanese Empire? Don't forget that my Great Japanese Empire has 100,000 elite troops in Fengtian, and a powerful second fleet on Qing* Island! You Chinese people can bear the anger of my Great Japanese Empire anytime and anywhere!"

"Just! So what about 100,000 elite soldiers? I don't know whose soldiers are eating braised vegetables in Jiaodong. If our defense force hadn't played a role, I'm afraid that tens of thousands of soldiers from Jiaodong in your country would have been deviled by swords. As for the Second Fleet... Haha, it's even more a joke. If you can easily capture Qing* Island, would you still sit here? Are you? Japanese?"

"Bastard! I'm going to duel with you!"

"Dull, who is afraid of whom?"
