Southgate was furious and shouted, "You, Mr. Bethlehem! ”

Bethlehem replied lightly, "Southgate, do you really plan to burn the jade of Edo Castle?" You must know that the investment of our Western countries in Edo Castle has exceeded 20 million francs, and if you don't agree with General Gao's suggestion, then once the fight starts, you British will bear the loss? ”

"Damn,"

Southgate exclaimed angrily, "Why should we the British bear it, and don't we the British have nothing to lose?" Don't be vexatious, Bethlehem! ”

Bethlehem sneered, "Southgate, as long as you agree to let the Japanese in Edo surrender, then everything will be fine?" Now that General Gao Yi has agreed that he is willing to guarantee the safety of our investment in Western countries, what do you want to do? As long as our interests are not damaged, who cares about the life or death of little Japan! ”

There were not only these two consuls present, but also consuls from Belgium, Spain, Prussia and other countries, and now they are all burning their eyebrows, who wants to Dali Southgate? Anyway, the Japanese surrendered, and it wasn't us who lost? It's just that the boss has changed, the original boss was the British, and now he is going to become a Chinese, who is the boss is not the boss? The British are the bosses, and they don't give us any more benefits, if we don't agree now, then there are no benefits, and bad luck will definitely find you!

The Prussian consul Müller said in a deep voice: "Mr. Southgate, I think what Mr. Bethlehem said is reasonable, and at this critical time, it is most important for us to protect our economic interests in Edo, and our expatriates are not harmed. Those who know the times are handsome......"

The other consuls on the side also began to support Tros and Bethlehem one by one, Southgate was dumbfounded, now the Americans and the French have agreed, the Prussians have also agreed, almost none of the other consuls are on their side, the Chinese are angry at each other, they may meet each other at any time, only the British are left, now Southgate has no idea, if he really has to deal with it toughly, it is the worst, not only his own life is in danger, and the forces of the entire British Empire are afraid that they will also be squeezed out of Edo, This is what the British Empire cannot afford!

"Okay,"

Southgate muffled, "Since you have all agreed to let the Edo government surrender, what else do I have to say?" However, General Gao E, you must be 100% sure that the interests of our British Empire exist in Edo! Moreover, after the end of the war in the future, your country's forces must withdraw from Edo and even Japan to ensure the independence of Edo, and we cannot tolerate the destruction of a single country! ”

Gao Yi sneered: "Southgate, where did you get so much nonsense, is it possible that there are fewer countries in this world that have been destroyed by you British?" Don't pretend there, it's not your turn to interfere in the affairs of the Chinese Empire at will, I can guarantee the safety of your industries and expatriates in various countries, as for whether to withdraw from Edo or even Japan, it is our Emperor His Majesty who has the final say, not a little consular officer of yours, know a little bit, in Britain, you are not a fart, you can't do it, your Majesty's lord! ”

"You!"

Southgate's face was red, and he really wanted to play with Gao E, but unfortunately, Gao E's height was half a head taller than him, and he was murderous, even if he was single-handed, he would only be abused......

Gao Yi ignored Southgate, looked at Troth, and said: "Mr. Tross, I will stay the army under Edo Castle now, give you a day and a half, and before dusk tomorrow, you must let the Japanese in Edo Castle come out and surrender, otherwise, then don't blame me for not giving you face." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter they surrender, I will send two regiments of troops to completely control Edo, at least, before our Huaxia Empire army leaves Japan, Edo must be in our hands! ”

Tros was full of helplessness, he knew deeply that the Chinese were very docile, but the Chinese soldiers, especially the soldiers trained by General Guo Ye, were tougher than the other, and they must not be provoked, and when they were in the United States, General Guo Ye stayed until the United States obtained soldiers, then if they did not agree with each other, they would fight, and even President Lincoln had a headache!

Tros said helplessly: "Okay, as long as you don't attack, everything is negotiable, let's go back and ask the Japanese to surrender!" ”

Tros and the others went back to prepare, but Gao E's face was a little gloomy.

"Second brother, what's wrong?"

Zhang Hexiang on the side asked.

Gao He glanced at Zhang Hexiang and replied, "Brother, didn't you hear it just now?" The British Asian fleet is about to arrive, and even has already arrived at Wakasa Bay to start landing, no one knows how many British troops there are now, and now the eldest brother is only leading a division of troops, I am afraid that he will be alone, and he will suffer a loss......"

Zhang Hexiang was shocked and wondered: "Second brother, won't you?" I guess that Southgate is scaring you, right? Do they really dare to go to war with us again? Aren't you afraid we'll clean them up again? ”

"You know!"

Gao Yi shouted in a low voice, "Do you think we are really the opponents of the British Empire now?" Big brother often says that we are still far from the British Empire, not too much, just an Asian fleet, not our navy can deal with it, if they send three divisions of troops, our forces in Japan will be at a disadvantage, plus the Japanese army, we will be hanging! ”

Zhang Hexiang was surprised: "Second brother, what should I do now?" ”

Gao E's eyes flickered, and he replied: "You lead the Seventh Brigade and the Eighth Brigade to immediately march in the direction of Kyoto, and order the cavalry to rush to Kyoto at full speed, once China and Britain start a war in Japan, so that we can quickly rush to the aid of my eldest brother and avoid being broken by the opponents!" The Ninth Brigade left me behind, we must control Edo and Yokosuka, this is our back road, and besides, the people we robbed also need to be transported back to the country as soon as possible! ”

"Just one brigade left? Second brother, can you control the situation here? The entire Tokyo Bay stretches for hundreds of miles! ”

"Where did you get so much nonsense, hurry up, immediately gather your troops, leave immediately, don't have any delay, Lao Tzu can't deal with these little Japan with a brigade? Even if they come another 20,000 or 30,000 people, they can't help me! ”

Gao Yu shouted.

Zhang Hexiang also knew that the situation was urgent, and he had to seize the time to act, so he agreed, and began to reorganize his troops and prepare to go south.
