British Ambassador Jurden resisted the urge to leave and said coldly! Boris,

Your joke is not funny.”

"This is no joke." Fang Shijian stared at the "China Communications" with a calm expression. "This is the peace agreement for our country. If you want to change it."

"Okay, let's not talk about the compensation. As for your two lines, you have already cut half of the Russian Central Asia and Siberia, and put it aside first." Juerdian's face turned slightly red. "It's just divided by the longitude line. What does this mean?"

"Isn't this what the civilized world does in America and Africa?" Fang Shijian said lightly. "Flip through the map of the United States of America, the map of Africa, Mexico, Canada, Alaska... Isn't this drawn by diplomats in civilized society?"

"Boris, the joke is too big." Juerdian pressed the Cigarette irritably, got up and came to the front of the map, looking at Fang Shijian. "This is Russia, a Western civilized country, not a savage primitive tribe! As a gentleman, my conscience does not allow me to accept such a form of peace talks! This is a humiliation to the entire civilized society!"

"Is it humiliation?" Fang Shijian shrugged, "Then let's not continue to talk. Anyway, we can also obtain things that cannot be obtained on the negotiating table with chariots and machine guns."

"Earl, jazz, why bother.

"William Rockhill hurried up to smooth things over. "The negotiations are to exchange their respective opinions. Some differences are inevitable. Longitude lines are not unrelated. At least they are very convenient to draw, right?"

"But to be honest, Boris, using this method to humiliate Russia and express your toughness towards civilized society is not a good choice." Rockhill said sincerely. "The Jazz's emotions are a little jittery, but as a pragmatic diplomat, you should be able to understand the anger of the gentlemen. You have gone far enough in the previous Hanxuan. To be honest, we are not easy to explain to the country. As diplomats, what we need to do is deepen mutual understanding between countries, bridge differences, eliminate conflicts, and promote peace and cooperation. In this case, some actions with national sentiment are not good ideas in international diplomacy..."

Juerdian was already feeling sad: When will Han Xuan of the British Empire be treated like this indifferent and unpretentious! But he also knew how important the mission he shouldered was, and how urgent the situation in Russia is at present!

He looked at the young and calm face opposite him, feeling the determination and confidence of the other party, and had to calm down, and smiled bitterly: "Okay, Boris, they are all old friends... Don't go around in circles, your attitude is very firm and you don't want to be interfered with too much in other countries. We all understand these. But I represent the British Empire, and I must consider the interests of the empire, so please understand. Everyone is smart, please tell us your real requirements. There is no need to waste time on such a thing."

Fang Shijian knew very well that Zheng Yu arranged for himself to do this, but to give this British diplomatic veteran who was still dreaming of the British Empire and couldn't see the situation clearly. He also reminded Rockhill how to make a right move. Of course, Fang Shijian would not be stupid enough to really treat Russia in such a way of dividing colonies. The Chinese Empire's foreign policy has always been a priority for profit, and he does not want to be face-to-face and not to be humble.

At this moment, the former ambassador to Russia smiled: "I'm not a joke, jazz. But since you all think this is not good, I'll propose another alternative."

"The dividing line is from Siber to Asia, along Yenisei and the seaport, and to the east of the actual control line before the Sino-Russia War belongs to the Chinese Empire. Note that this includes the right of way of the Yenisei River and the river surface waters. In addition, the original Russian grassland Governor's area and the Turkestan Governor's area,......... In Central Asia, the east of the Caspian Sea has always been the territory west of our Chinese regime. This is clearly stated in history. We are more generous, and we are divided equally with the Russians. In addition, the Northland Islands, Novosibirsk Island in the Arctic Ocean, and we all want these."

"I remember that in the Qing Dynasty, the border to the west of you was Lake Balkash. When did you reach the Caspian Sea?"

"The Anxi Protector of the Tang Dynasty went all the way to the Caspian Sea and the Pamir Mountains. This happened a thousand three hundred years ago." Fang Shijian said seriously, "My Chinese Empire inherited the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and three generations inherited the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties. The land left by our ancestors dared not be with others."

"Boris, are you kidding?" Even though Jurden repeatedly pressed the fire, he was still a little urge to go wild now. "What happened a thousand three hundred years ago? If so, the British Empire might as well hand over the British Isles to Italy! France and Germany should be merged, both Frank Germanic.

We are talking about now, Lee!”

"Now?" Fang Shijian nodded, "That's fine."

"The fact now is that we can not only fight to the Caspian Sea, Krasnoyarsk, but we can also fight to Omsk, Novosibirsk, and even directly to the Volga River!" Fang Shijian pointed on the map. "Our front army in the river, the northern cluster, has captured Semipalatinsk along the Central Asian Railway from Lake Balkash, and is advancing towards Barnaul and Novosibirsk. The Russians thought that destroying the railway could stop us, but our cavalry cluster and motorized troops could not rely on the railway, and their combat effectiveness and forward speed are trustworthy. The railway troops of our empire can also urgently repair damaged railways..."

"The Southern Cluster has captured Tashkent and withdrawn Mar.. Zhe all the nations of Turkestan have risen to resist the tyranny of the Tsar. Bukhara and Shiva have declared independence from Tsarist Russia, and have deposed the former monarch, and voluntarily accepted the leadership of the Chinese Empire! From the Caspian Sea to the east, strictly speaking, our army is no longer called "the power of the enemy!"

"The Empire and you two are friends, and we are willing to communicate these issues with our friends." Fang Shijian returned to his seat, sat down slowly, and sipped a sip of tea. "A very simple fact: we can get all of this ourselves, and we can get more. So, now we are helping you, so that you can explain and the Russians will not lose all the money!" "Boris, although I am not a military expert, I have at least been to military academy, served in the army, and stayed in places like Tunisia. In my opinion,

, It is also the view of our army department. With the transportation in Central Asia, your logistics transportation is difficult, and things are not as easy as you think." William Rockhill whispered, "Your smooth march now, as long as the Russians on the opposite side restore order and appoint some capable commanders, you may repeat the mistakes of Cropatkin in the ancient times. Your situation seems to be very good, but in fact it is also a hidden crisis." The US ambassador to China, Sinology, said sincerely: "Boris, we all have to face reality, there is no need to exaggerate it.

There is no need to deliberately belittle one side when you win, you must also get rewards when you win, which is a fact and a rule, and we all admit it. We are friends and want to help you: But we and Russia are also friends, and we cannot help one side too much. We hope that our two friends will not continue to bleed, and hope to see peace, especially in Russia now." "Although you win, there are not only your interests in this world, but also other countries. We must coexist for a long time and learn to recognize each other.

We should compromise with each other. Because there is no need for us, nor can we conquer each other, there is no need for great powers to live and die." Rockhill sighed. "Russia is defeated, and now there is a problem within. Whether he wants or not, he must pay the price and satisfy you as much as possible. This is our consensus. But you cannot be too ruthless. Now every part of the land you have seized and every part of the compensation you want is equal to a knife on the hearts of the Russians. The accumulation of this hatred is terrible, and you are neighboring countries, Lee. You understand what I mean."

"Of course I understand." Fang Shijian nodded happily, "But so what?"

Fang Shijian stared at Rockhill and said slightly mockingly: "It hurts to scratch the knife in his heart? What's the matter with the Russians cutting off our land from the Qing Dynasty decades ago? When the Russians were strong and others were weak, they didn't have to care about other people's feelings: Now they have a problem, do I need to care about how he feels? When we were slaughtered, who asked us how we felt?" Rockhill looked at Fang Shijian blankly, not knowing how to answer for a while.

"Everyone, please understand that it is us who were invaded." Fang Shijian said, "When I feel that I am strong, I come when I want to come, and then I will not leave. I can't do it anymore, and I want to pat my butt and return the stakes. Is there such a good thing in the world? Who belongs to Siberia? In the eyes of the empire, this is the place where the Xianbei people live for generations, and the Xianbei people are also a branch of our Chinese. Many Xianbei people have become Han people! We just want to return part of our ancestors. Is such generous conditions still unsatisfied?" "Chief Fang, don't forget that the Far Eastern Front Army is still resisting! You are still besieging Vladivostok!

The Siberian winter, snowstorms, and the scorched earth policy of the Russians are also difficult for you.

"Jurdian said, "Russia is now in danger of entering a civil war. Your attack is very smooth. If you don't sign the peace treaty at this most favorable time, once the situation changes, you may not have such a good opportunity."

"Far Eastern Front? They won't exist for too long. I think "Fang Shijian moaned his chin" Maybe it's this month...

As for logistics transportation, thank God, we have enough trucks, snow troughs, hard-working military industry, and tenacious ancient horses. Yes, it is the kind of horse that carried the ancients from thousands of miles to Europe and the Middle East."

"Think about it, can't we do what the ancients could do hundreds of years ago?" Fang Shijian shrugged. "Faced with these enemies now, we don't even need too much troops or spend too much ammunition. It's not just an attack, but a takeover of the regime. This is everything that happened in the East. As for the enemy's deeper development? The hatred towards the Russians shown by the Central Asian nation, do you think the Russians can play this there?"

"My friend, please tell the Russians." Fang Shijian drank all the remaining tea in one sip, got up and took the coat and hat, and nodded politely to Jurden and Rockhill. "With them not losing all their chips, reach an agreement as soon as possible. If they drag on it, not only will they lose all the border areas one by one, but the entire country may be lost. To use your words, continue, and there will be no such good opportunity."

"I am very honored to have a conversation with you. I hope you can bring some real good news next time." The Chinese diplomat bowed slightly, put on his coat, put on his top hat, and turned around and left.

Zhu Erdian looked at Fang Shijian's back in a daze, and after a long time he sighed: "Russia..." "God guaranteed." Rockhill smiled bitterly and drew a cross, "Wish them good luck...

St. Peter's true.

The internal Bolshevik meeting chaired by Ulyanov is continuing.

Ulyanov warned some dangerous argument in the Bolsheviks that was too aggressive. He proposed that "the current priority is not to scare the revolutionary conservative Louyi elements, nor to spur capitalist powers too much." Because "the revolutionary regime is still too weak, and now is not the time to export the revolution."

In his opinion, "ensure that the socialist revolution is completely victorious in Russia and consolidating the people's democratic dictatorship system where all power belongs to the Soviet Union is itself the best support and encouragement for the proletariat of Europe and the United States."

He reminded these revolutionaries who were somewhat obsessed with the victory of the revolution. "The revolution has only taken a small step. We should think more about why the Paris Commune eventually failed, think about the bourgeois state machine around Russia, think about "the royalist party who is deliberately mobilizing troops to stifle the revolution" and think about "the constitutional aristocrats and bourgeois bad elements who essentially hate and fear the workers and peasants."

He suggested "immediately start issuing decrees to restore order in various places, and establish a unified and effective state machine with the Soviets at the core" and expressed firm support for Trotsky's opinions on changing and establishing a new type of revolutionary army.

Regarding the current economic policy, Ulyanov proposed that "the current strategy of using cities to confiscate materials will not last long" and proposed to "restore railway traffic immediately, collect food from the countryside, ensure the supply of the revolutionary army and cities." He also firmly opposed the Soviets' compromise with "some rich peasant bad elements", oppose bowing to hoarding, and especially oppose "giving the rifle to these speculators."

However, he also opposed Trotsky's mandatory state-owned bill and mandatory labor bill. He believed that "at this special moment, people still need education, need to deepen their understanding of the cruelty and arduous revolution, and use coercive means to restrain them too early may cause us to lose the support of the people."

He proposed that "propaganda should be the main focus, and the Bolsheviks set an example to drive people to voluntarily increase their labor" and "using public opinion to praise workers, condemn lazy people who get nothing and do nothing, so that everyone realizes that this behavior is helping the enemy of the revolution."

In diplomacy, Ulyanov was worried that the current hostility and disagreement of the Soviet regime of various countries were still maintained by the Soviet regime, and demanded that "the war was immediately discussed with China, so that the people and the Soviet Russia would breathe a sigh of relief." In addition, he also opposed the obvious xenophobic proposals adopted by the St. Petersburg Soviet, such as "refusing to repay the reactionary Tsarist Russian government to form a reactionary military machine and suppress the foreign debts owed by the people" and "confiscating assets sold to foreign capitalists in order to ensure its own rule".

He pointed out seriously that "this is equivalent to pushing the new Soviet state directly to the opposite of all powerful countries" and "when internal problems are not resolved, they will hurriedly show hostility towards other powerful countries, which is not conducive to the success of the revolutionary cause" and "will destroy the international credibility of the Soviet regime, so that we will not be able to obtain vital foreign funds and materials in the future." At the same time, "the royalist will be sent to receive support from foreign forces and threaten the revolutionary regime again."

He proposed that at present, the Soviet regime's most important diplomatic tasks are four: first, gain recognition from a strong country, improve the international environment and image, and prevent the great powers from standing on the side of the Tsarist autocratic government to suppress the revolution: second, negotiate peace with the Chinese side, and realize the peace commitment to the soldiers: third, strive to bring the newly independent ethnic areas to the side of the Soviet side to form a federation, or at least not let them become enemies of the Soviets: fourth, try to reduce foreign debts as much as possible.

Ulyanov believes that the most important of these four tasks are the first and third, while the second and fourth important things are slightly worse, especially the third point, because of the need to make concessions to China, this may allow the Tsarist autocratic government to find a tool to discredit the Soviet regime and incite the so-called patriotism: and the fourth point may also arouse hostility from the great powers, which is not worth the loss. He suggested that these two points be very cautious.

Also coming with Ulyanov was Baoya Olive Maximov.

At a high-level meeting within the Bolsheviks, this special figure at the core of the Bolsheviks also expressed his views.

He fully agreed with Ulyanov's opinion (these were originally unified conclusions after he followed the instructions of the General Intelligence Bureau of the Chinese Empire and discussed with Ulyanov).

However, he also put forward some of his own opinions. In terms of economy, he advocated the immediate state-owned ownership of banks and large machinery industries and unified under the jurisdiction of the Soviet Union. He also proposed that foreign debts of other countries must be recognized, but the premise is that "these governments must break off diplomatic relations with the Tsarist government and recognize the Soviet regime as Russia's only legal representative." Regarding domestic debts, he suggested that all "the Soviet Union does not need to use people's taxes to feed the living and veterinary class."

In addition, he suggested that it is best to take the form of a secret contract when contacting China in diplomatic terms to avoid the problems Ulyanov was worried about, and it is best not to hurry to sign a contract. He also suggested that it is necessary to always pay attention to the transactions between the Tsarist government and China, and find ways to assassinate them to reach a traitorous treaty as soon as possible. After the treaty was concluded, the Soviets should immediately inform the whole of Russia of this fact, so that the Tsarist autocratic government would be disgraced...
