Shengjing City, Northeast Patrol Embassy. The British Minister to China, Sir Jurdian, the French Minister to China, Pasteur, and the Russian Minister to China, Gran Sovetz, appeared in the living room of the Embassy on the tour of the embassy. Wu Xingquan, the envoy of the Northeast Parade and the Economic Strategy of Mongolia and Xinjiang, and Yang Du, secretary general of the Political Affairs Committee of the Northern Government, received them.

"Your Excellency, in view of the fact that the war between the Northern Government and Russia has seriously affected the peace and stability of the Far East. So, the British Empire wants to be able to mediate this war and bring both of you back to the negotiating table to resolve the issue. This is also very beneficial to the government of the north. Sir Jurdian said straight to the point.

"The French government is asking for the same thing, a peaceful Far East, which is good for everyone." French Minister Pasteur also said.

Wu Xingquan and Yang Du felt a little tricky. With the Northern Army victorious on the battlefield, Britain and France had to jump out to mediate.

"The Government of the North shares the same hope that peace can be achieved. However, this war was provoked by the Russian side, and it was they who declared war on us first. Wu Xingquan said. Although these foreign devils have put a lot of pressure on him. However, the Northern Army has now established a decisive advantage on the battlefield, so what is he afraid of?

"This is your despicable attack on the Russian Consulate in Kulen, and also on the Middle East Road Administration, forcibly occupying Russia's interests!" The Russian minister, Ronso Vicci, said angrily.

"The beginning of all this was your intention to plot a riot in Mongolia, and after you failed, you poisoned the venerable Living Buddha Jebtsundamba VIII." Yang Du said coldly. In any case, the basin that poisoned the living Buddha must be buckled on the top of the Russians' heads.

"Slander, this is a slander against the Russian Empire. The Living Buddha was not poisoned by us! Ronsovicz immediately retorted. When he was the Russian minister to China, he made a special detour to Kulen and presented a gift to the living Buddha Jebtsundamba VIII. He was well aware of the pro-Russian attitude of Jebtsundamba VIII, how could the Russian side poison Jebtsundamba VIII? So. All this is the ghost of the northern government, it is they who shout to catch thieves and frame the Russian Empire.

"Hmph, we have all the evidence, even if you don't admit it, you can't deny it." Yang Du insisted on this.

"Alright. There is no point in arguing about this issue any longer. Let's put it aside for now. Since the government in the north also wants peace, we have a basis for peace talks. Sir Jurdian hurriedly stood up. If Yang Du and Lang Suo Weici are allowed to quarrel again, then this mediation may have to come to naught.

Wu Xingquan nodded, agreeing with Sir Zhu Erdian's statement. At the moment on the battlefield, the Northern Army has already won a decisive victory. The next step is to make the Russians succumb and clarify the benefits that the Northern Army will gain in this war. And this can only be determined through negotiations. Of course. If the Russians do not know each other and do not understand the current situation, the government in the north is not weak and can be bullied.

"Your Excellency Ronsovic, tell the government of the north what you want." Sir Jurdian said.

"First, the Northern Army must withdraw from the territory of the Russian Empire from now on and return the Middle East Route to the Russian Empire. Second, the northern government wanted to compensate the Russian Empire for the losses, amounting to a billion rubles. If you don't accept this condition. Then, the war will continue. The army of the great Russian Empire. I'm going to defeat you completely. Ronsovicz said haughtily.

Wu Xingquan and Yang Du were dumbfounded, even though they expected that the Russians might be harsh. However, they did not expect that the Russians would actually put forward such brainless conditions. Could it be that this war was defeated by the Northern Army? The Russians became the winners? Otherwise, how could Lang Suovic look like a victorious country slaughtering a defeated country?

"Your Excellency, Minister. You don't seem to have figured out the situation yet. Now, however, the Northern Army has annihilated hundreds of thousands of Russian troops on the battlefield. Wu Xingquan smiled sarcastically.

A hint of shame flashed across Minister Sang Sovici's face: "That's right, it's true that you have a slight advantage. However, the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops is not worth mentioning at all for Russia. We can easily mobilize millions of troops into battle. If the war goes on. The winner will definitely be ours! ”

"In that case, I don't think there is any need for this negotiation to go ahead at all. Let's wait until the Russian Army defeats us. Wu Xingquan was angry. These old hairy people are really too deceitful.

"Humph! Is that your answer? Soon, you will regret your actions today. Lang Suo Weici snorted coldly, got up and left the Northeast Patrol Embassy.

Sir Jurdian and Minister Pasteur were dumbfounded, not expecting that the first meeting between the two sides would end in such a form. This undoubtedly cast a shadow over this mediation from the very beginning!

"Your Excellency, this is ......," Sir Jurdian was a little speechless.

"Your Excellency, the conditions put forward by the Russians are too harsh. I even wonder if we won the war. We absolutely cannot accept such conditions. Yang Du said.

Sir Jurdian nodded: "Well, we will persuade the Russian side." Tomorrow morning, we hope to be able to negotiate again. ”

"Absolutely. However, if the Russians insist on such conditions, then the negotiations will not lead to anything. Wu Xingquan also said. His statement undoubtedly represents the final attitude of the northern government and the northern army.

Sir Jurden and Minister Pasteur then took their leave.

"Damn, these old dogs, it's just so shameless. I almost thought we had lost! Waiting for Zhu Erdian and the others to leave, Wu Xingquan said a little angrily.

"Dashuai, it's not the first time we've dealt with these foreign devils. They have always been like this, and they have no one in their eyes. Thankfully, our army was able to defeat them in the war. Otherwise, they don't know how harsh the conditions will be. Yang Du also shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Wu Xingquan nodded, he was very clear about the Russians' ambitions for northern China. In this war, the northern government and the northern army can be said to have gambled desperately. Thankfully, God forbid, they won the advantage on the battlefield. Otherwise, the entire northern part of China will probably be swallowed by Lao Maozi in one bite.

"Send a telegram to Haoxuan and ask for his opinion. In addition, the main forces of the Russians have now been wiped out. Then, there is no point in him staying in Kulen any longer, it is better to return to Shengjing City to take charge. Wu Xingquan said.

Wu Xingquan has always been an old-fashioned warlord, even though the Northern Army is now strong. However, in front of foreigners, he has always been a little unconfident. If it was Wu Haoxuan, it wouldn't be like this.

"Yes, Marshal." Yang Du nodded. In this case, Wu Haoxuan's return to the town is undoubtedly the best.

On the Kulen front, the shelling of the Russian army by the Northern Army is still continuing. Now, the remaining 200,000 troops of the Russian army are huddled together. The eight cavalry brigades of the Northern Army, plus the three infantry divisions that arrived from Uriya Sutai and the four infantry divisions of Kulen, formed an encirclement of the Russian army. Although, the encirclement is not strong. But for the Russian army, which lacked war materials, even if the northern army opened an opening for them to evacuate, they did not have enough food to survive and leave the Mongolian steppe alive.

In order to reduce the casualties of the troops, the Northern Army did not launch an offensive after encircling the Russian army, but hit all the field guns and howitzers and shelled the Russian army. In this way, the viable forces of the Russian army are constantly weakened, and at the same time, the morale of the Russian army is also undermined.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Hundreds of cannons were roaring, and one shell after another was whistling towards the camp of the Russian army. Every time an artillery shell explodes, it sends up orange-red fireballs in the camp of the Russian army. At this moment, the Russian army can only hide in the improvised fortifications and shiver, praying that the shells will not fall on their heads.

"It's been 7 days, can these old hairs still hold on? According to our estimates, their food is almost exhausted! Wu Haoxuan stood on the wall of Kulen and used a telescope to observe the shelling of the Northern Army.

"Young marshal, Lao Maozi must have been starved. I'm sure they won't last long. Lieutenant General Zhao Xifu said.

Wu Haoxuan nodded, he thought so too.

"Young marshal, an urgent call from Sheng Jing." Zhao Hu reported.

Wu Haoxuan took the telegram, and after reading the phone, his face was already gloomy and dripping.

"Young marshal, what's going on?" Lieutenant General Zhao Xifu asked.

"Britain and France mediated. The Russians, however, opened their mouths and made unacceptable demands. They demanded not only that we withdraw from the territory of Russia, but also that we pay a billion rubles in compensation. Wu Haoxuan said.

"What? Are those old hairy people crazy? Don't they know that now we have the upper hand? He dared to put forward such a condition. Lieutenant General Zhao Xifu also felt inexplicable.

"Lao Maozi is indeed crazy, do they really think we are easy to bully? Huzi, send a telegram to the marshal and the secretary general, tell them. Lao Maozi can negotiate peace, but we can't accept their conditions. In addition, our demand is that Lao Maozi must return to us all the territories that he has forcibly occupied for more than 200 years. Otherwise, the war will not end! Wu Haoxuan's face was resolute.
