Chapter 302: A knife to the waist

Because Sutaro Komura was killed and the new Fuso minister was not elected, the peace talks between countries fell into a temporary stagnation stage. The Jin Dynasty's men were superior to women, especially Yoko was just a side room, not a wife. Zhao Guanhou bought a coffin and put a few pieces of Yoko's clothes in it, which was considered as a tomb of clothing.

I originally wanted to find someone to recite scriptures, but foreign soldiers entered the city, and the power of the two religions of God and Christ was greatly won, and the magic of the Buddhist and Taoist sects was always inferior to the Taixi magic spear. Therefore, in the capital and even the surrounding towns, monks and Taoists were everywhere, and they could not do anything to do a ritual. In the end, they could only find some people to shave their heads and recite some mantras randomly to explain.

This scale is unprecedentedly grand for a concubine, and Fusang cannot blame anything for it. After Zhao Guanhou casually dealt with the funeral for two days, he went to various embassies to start visiting. He used this buffer period to start foreign affairs communication, and the grief could no longer be seen.

This does not mean that he is lucky, but that he has learned in the past two days that Yoko shot Fukushima. His fiancée was in disheveled clothes and killed a man with a gun. This is easy to be portrayed as a romantic incident. As a husband, Zhao Guanhou felt that he had been insulted, so even his attitude towards Fusang became very cold, which is reasonable.

In the Tiel Embassy, ​​Oleg shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "The great men of St. Petersburg, it's time to cheer again. The great Tiel Empire destroyed the Fusang people's intelligence headquarters in China with just a slight wave. This brilliant victory is enough to make some of our big men shine on the face, and the whole experience is enough to complete an excellent adventure novel."

Gerth spread his hands, "It's not the time to complain or complain. Those people care about their grades and funds, but they don't care about your opinion. Now you should think about how to deal with those Fusang madmen. They won't just let it go."

"What else can I do? Stay in the embassy, ​​reduce going out, and suspend all work in the capital. If necessary, I will buy a train ticket and leave here. I am an intelligence officer, not a soldier, and it is not my job to fight desperately. Gerth, accepts my suggestion, contact the Jin Kingdom and establish good relations. In the future, we and Fusang will have to go to war outside the pass. Whoever can win the support of the Jin Kingdom will win the war."

"The support of the Jin Kingdom? I think it's too important for you to see them. Fusang is not qualified to be an opponent of the empire. If these lunatics are so stupid that they want to start a war on us, then we will completely destroy them and let them know that their victory over the Jin Kingdom does not mean that they are qualified to challenge other countries."

Oleg shrugged, "If you insist, you can only say good luck."

"The people who need good luck now are the Jin people. Without Fusang's support, what tricks can the Jin Kingdom change? They no longer have room for maneuver. Next, it's time for us to reap the results."

In his opinion, without Aoki Ryuchun's support, Zhao Guanhou could not make any moves. Dajin had no cards to play, and he could not do anything except accept the Fengtian and Earth charter. However, just after Oleg packed his luggage and left the embassy, ​​he received a note from the Jin Dynasty: Dajin decided to negotiate with the various countries.

In the original negotiations, countries agreed to advance and retreat together, and Tiele dismissed and rebeled alone, but they would not break away from the big framework. Therefore, the policy of using barbarians to control barbarians in the past was not successful. In Geers' view, the Jin Dynasty's re-proposed separate negotiations this time was just an old trick and there was nothing to care about. But the news he received was that Zhao Guanhou had already begun to contact the ministers of several countries.

Since the interview cannot be completed, compensation cannot be discussed. The results of Mrs. Jason's lobbying in the business world have gradually been revealed over time. Furthermore, Zhao Guanhou has become a legendary general of the East under the packaging of Rodrie.

The report "Famous Oriental Generals Walking Out from the Streets" has been published for four consecutive issues. Under Rodri's writing, Zhao Guanhou has become a legendary war god and a moral role model.

Such people can always gain a lot of favor, and merchants hope to restore order as soon as possible for the sake of their interests. Therefore, more and more small countries have begun to demand that the war be ended as soon as possible and normal commercial trade be restored.

Among all countries, Belgium is the best job, and the total amount of compensation it received is only more than 848,000 taels. According to the conditions given by Zhao Guanhou, whether it is the construction of railway rights and the establishment of a tram power company for three years, or the establishment of a tram power company, the income obtained is several times more than the 840,000 yuan formal payment. The Belgian minister had no reason to refuse. Although Belgium was a small country and had a small influence in China, its resignation of its own has caused some small waves in the alliances of various countries.

Although the 450 trillion compensation agreed in the peace talks was huge, it accounted for uneven proportions among the countries. Prussia, as the victim, accounted for 20% of the proportion, and Tiel sent the most troops, accounting for nearly 30%. The two countries separated half of the compensation. Among the remaining countries, small countries sent few troops and had poor influence. The income was just some residue, which could only be regarded as making up for the losses.

The theoretical basis proposed by Zhao Guanhou is that since it is divided by one or two taels per Chinese, it is very debatable. Southeast Mutual Protection has not participated in the war, and the Dingkou of these provinces should not be calculated within the scope of compensation. Therefore, he only admitted two hundred trillion in compensation by one blow.

Of course, in addition to this method of price-killing, water-washing and softening work also needs to be done. That is, after giving up this part of the compensation, the Jin court will give some more flexible compensation plans, including expanding the concession area, giving priority to borrowing foreign debts, increasing railway construction and other methods, and providing implicit compensation.

This flexible compensation plan can benefit these small countries more. While Belgium is watching, Ge Luogan, the Minister of Folangji, had already nodded intentionally. Folangji was once the overlord of the sea and almost wanted to dominate the world, but now the country's power is in decline and its majesty is no longer there.

However, as a representative of the ministry delegation, he was the first to say that he could accept Zhao Guanhou's opinion and would convert the compensation paid to Folangji into road rights, customs exemption, increase the power of the concession, expand the scope of the concession, and repair power facilities within the concession.

The two small countries changed one after another, and the negotiations had increased a little more variables. Later, Zhao Guanhou met with the current highest commander of the coalition, Wadesi, the general commander of the coalition.

The business between the two was very big. Wadesi not only sold the antiques he had robbed, but also acted as a robber, cashing out the income of other colleagues and changing it to real money and silver. Zhao Guanhou made a very happy payment and paid many payment methods, from cash to bank deposit certificates, and Wadesi had a very good view of him. Even if some people say that his wife, the top scorer, seemed to be very close to this younger brother, he was unwilling to do so.

The place where the two met was still Luanyi Hall. Sai Jinhua brought three high-legged glasses, poured some wine in them, and prepared a few snacks. Wadeshi said: "I feel very sorry for what happened in Aoki Mansion. The coalition headquarters will try its best to catch the murderer and comfort the deceased's spirit in heaven. I also hope that you will not be too sad. With your talents, you will not be difficult to find a woman."

"Thank you, the marshal, for your comfort. I understand this principle, and it will only make you feel better."

Sai Jinhua hurriedly said, "You don't have to be too sad. When I have time, I will take you for fun. I will guarantee that you will forget that Yoko soon."

"Thank you, my second sister. I don't feel that way for the time being, and it's not the time. I'm still carrying the emperor's responsibilities. If I keep doing things, I will let down the kindness of the two palaces. The marshal will definitely understand this thought."

Wadesey nodded, "Yes, we should indeed consider our own official duties first, and then our private feelings. I heard that you are very active in the embassy area recently, trying to lobby the ministers, accept your conditions, and make concessions on the treaty. And some merchants are also putting pressure on their respective countries, suggesting that the government should start from a long-term perspective and not focus on temporary interests. For this point, I want to say, you did a good job. But it doesn't mean to me. For the Prussian Empire, what we need is that your country is punished and our country is compensated. This is not only an economic problem, but also a serious issue of integrity. In the peace treaty, I think it is difficult for you to make concessions."

"Marson, you are right, and I understand that your country has little room for concessions. However, your country should have seen our sincerity. In addition to the death of several relatives and nobles, yesterday, we caught the murderer who killed His Excellency Clinder in the capital. The former leader of the Shenji Camp urged the Enghai and handed him over to the Prussian Battalion."

Wadesi said: "I already know this, and I am very pleased with your performance. At least it shows that you are working hard to correct your mistakes. Execution of Enhai is of great significance to comforting the heroic soul of His Excellency Clinder. I accept this sincerity, but it cannot convince me, nor can it convince our emperor to give in."

Zhao Guanhou raised his glass and took a sip of wine. There was no impatient expression on his face. "Marson Marshal, I just want you to understand that our country is very sincere and urgent in reconciling with other countries. If it hinders diplomatic relations between the two countries due to financial reasons, it will be a regrettable thing for either of us. Take the treaty as an example. If the Jin Dynasty silver flows out in large quantities and financial resources are exhausted, Prussia's interests in China will also be seriously affected. I came from Shandong, and there are a large number of Prussian merchants, and their profits are related to the Jin Dynasty's economic rest. The imposition of high fines is actually changing directions to cause losses to their economy."

Wadesi shook his head, "You should know that our country has little economic impact in China. If you want to suffer losses from businessmen, it should be a headache for London and Paris, not us."

"You are right. Albion and Cape have a huge economic power in China. The impact on the merchants of these two countries is far greater than that on the Prussian merchants. However, in terms of the army, the influence of the two countries is far less than that of your country. This time, our Wuwei Right Army defeated the Tieler soldiers and became famous in one battle. The reason is that the Wuwei Right Army used general weapons, used Prussian army's teachings to hire Prussian instructors. The generals were pro-Prussian and far away from other countries. If the cavalry of your country was pursued in Xuanhua, most soldiers would refuse to raise guns and shoot at their instructor country. After seeing that battle, the two palaces also expressed that they should expand the army, purchase a large amount of general weapons, and hire general state teachers. But now, even if you ask for compensation first and embargo on the armies later, it is impossible to expand the right army, and your influence in China will be greatly affected."

"So what? How friendly is your country's army to Prussia, and what good can it do to us?"

"Of course there are benefits. A Jin army that tends toward Prussia can restrain Tiel's power a lot. The Marshal must have known about the matter outside the pass. There is probably no good situation between our country and Tiel. The stronger the right army of Wuwei, the more Tiel will be assigned to prevent us. On the eastern front, every more Tiel's troops will be, the weaker Tiel's power will be on the western front. The reason for this is self-evident. Please think twice."

Zhao Guanhou said again: "Besides, before Commander Fukushima passed away, he talked to me about this issue. Fuso originally wanted to send military instructors and provide arms assistance to our country. China supported the two countries, one with water. Even if the arms embargo regulations came into effect, Fuso would smuggle them with small boats, and it would be difficult for all countries to stop them. At that time, the interests are all treated by Fuso. What are the benefits of Prussia? Here are also taught by the Prussian instructors. Our country values ​​the friendship between teachers and students the most. I have to consider the instructor's mother country. If possible, I still hope that the Jin Dynasty and Prussia will continue to be an alliance. But the premise is to give us room to speak. If we just push each other, it will be a matter of time before the Jin Dynasty turns to Fuso."

Wadesi was stunned. He subconsciously looked at Sai Jinhua, but then denied his guess. Even this woman would not know this. He had never told her about this military strategy. Even if she wanted to leak the secret, she would not be able to leak it. Is this young Jin Dynasty in front of him who analyzed the Prussian strategy?

The bold strategy formulated by the General Staff has always been a high-level secret in Prussia. Wadesi did not think that anyone in the Jin Dynasty could master it. If it was analyzed by himself, then this young man would be a bit daunting. He should also consider his proposal seriously.

It’s not that the Jin Dynasty’s leak of the plan would have a great impact on Prussia. After all, there is still a long way to go between you and others’ beliefs. But no matter what, if such a talent can be used for himself, it will be better than to turn to the enemy’s side.

Furthermore, the Fusang he mentioned was also a very objective issue. If the military embargo, war fines were imposed, and the Fusang people were finally cheaper, it would not be of any benefit to the Prussian Empire. This Eastern country was not big and was not in the eyes of Prussia, but if it took Prussia and replaced it and controlled the Jin* team, it would be impossible for the Prussian government to tolerate it.

Behind Fusang was Albion's support and had a feud with Tielle, while Prussia and Tielle were both friendly and enemy. The emperors of the two countries signed a peace agreement together, but their intention was to transfer Tielle's power to the eastern front and make the western front empty. If the Jin Kingdom could really restrain Tielle and make it invest its troops on the eastern front, it would be more beneficial to Prussia than simple silver.

With the strength of the Jin soldiers in the past, they were not within the eyes of Prussian law. However, in the Battle of Xuanhua, the Cossack Cavalry was able to annihilate the Cossack Cavalry, killing and wounding more than 2,000 people. This excellent record made Wadesi re-evaluate the Jin Dynasty's combat power in his heart.
