China and Russia held peace talks, and the representatives involved in the negotiations were Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi on the side of the Chinese Empire, and Minister to China on the Russian side, Lang Sovici. In addition, the British Minister Jurdian and the French Minister Pasteur attended as mediators. German Minister to China Hahausen and US Minister to China Rou Keyi will also attend the talks at the invitation of the Chinese Empire.

After all, Britain and France are allies with Russia, and if they don't ask for help from other countries, won't the Chinese Empire be alone in the negotiations? As for the Japanese, who jumped up and down and always said that they wanted to participate in this peace talks, they were ignored by everyone. Naturally, the Chinese Empire did not want the Japanese to participate in this peace talks, and this had nothing to do with them. In the same way, the Russians and the Japanese do not have a good relationship and do not want the Japanese to see their jokes. As a result, the Japanese wanted to show off their presence, but they were rejected verbally.

The location of the negotiations was in the concession, which was undoubtedly a shame for the Chinese Empire. In China, there are 27 large and small concessions. These were all states within states created in China by the imperialist powers in the unequal treaties they signed with the Manchu government again and again.

The Jinmen Russian Concession was established by the Russians nine years ago. After the invasion of the Eight-Nation Coalition in 1900, Russia first forcibly occupied it, and then signed the "Tianjin Concession Clause" with the Qing government on November 9, the 26th year of Guangxu (1900), officially demarcating the Russian Concession.

In addition to a large area of land west of the old Longtou Station, the demarcated Russian Concession has also expanded from the station to the south of the Dazhigu River along the river. Later, through direct negotiations between Britain and Russia in St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia, and mediation between Germany and the United States, Russia ceded the station and the avenue leading to the station and returned them to China. Therefore, the Russian concession was divided into two areas, east and west. The western area of the Russian Concession is located in Hebei District, on the north bank of the Haihe River. It is adjacent to the Italian concession in Hebei District to the southwest, the west side of the station to the east, and the railway to the north; The eastern area is from the turn of the Haihe River to the south, the west is adjacent to the Haihe River and the British, French and German concessions across the Haihe River, the east is to the Jinshan Railway, and the south is to Dazhigu. The east and west districts cover a total area of 5,971 acres. The area exceeded that of the British Concession at that time, and ranked first among the national concessions in Tianjin.

On April 5, 4607 (09), Tang Shaoyi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Imperial Empire, arrived at the negotiation site by car, a Russian hotel in the western area of the Russian Concession. This place has been contracted by the Russian Legation in China, and future negotiations between the two countries will be held in this hotel.

The Russian Minister to China, Ronso Vetz, stood at the door of the hotel, looking proud. He seems to have forgotten that now on the battlefield, Russia is completely at a disadvantage. I don't know what he's angry about.

The venue for negotiations. It is a restaurant on the second floor of the hotel, which has already been set up. Lang Suovicz was the first to do the position facing the gate, looking like a master. On both sides, the representatives of Britain, France, Germany, and the United States are representatives. The place reserved for the Chinese Empire was at the bottom, as if the Chinese Empire had lost the war and was about to be judged by Russia.

In this regard, Tang Shaoyi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, smiled. Didn't care. It was not through these clever tricks that the Russians were able to turn the tide. After all. It is an ironclad fact that the Northern Army wiped out hundreds of thousands of Russian troops and occupied large swathes of Russian territory.

"Ahem, guys, let's start negotiating now. The British Empire sincerely hoped that peace would come to the Far East. We are all civilized nations that can solve problems in a peaceful and negotiated manner. It is best to negotiate a settlement. Sir Jurdian also said.

"Chinese have always loved peace, and we also hope to resolve disputes in a peaceful way." Tang Shaoyi said with a smile.

"Cunning yellow-skinned monkeys, when did they become peace-loving?" Regarding Tang Shaoyi's words, Lang Suo Weici undoubtedly gritted his teeth with hatred.

After some pointless nonsense, the negotiations officially began.

"This war. It was the Northern Army, the predecessor of the Chinese Army, that first launched against Russia. This is the aggression of the Chinese Army against Russia. Russia demanded that China apologize to Russia and promise that such an incident would never happen again. In addition, the Chinese Army must immediately withdraw from Russian territory, release the Russian prisoners of war, and compensate Russia for the loss of 500 million rubles! As soon as the negotiations began, Ronsovitz expressed the Russian demands loudly, as if they could become true by speaking first.

The representatives of the other countries couldn't help but shake their heads when they looked at Lang Suovic's eyes. What the hell is going on with the Russians? Haven't they figured it out yet? Now it is not Russia that has won, but the Chinese Empire that has an absolute advantage!

"Haha!" Hahausen, the German minister to China, couldn't help but laugh out loud, causing the other delegates to look at him. In particular, the Russian minister, Lang Sovici, had a clear hint of anger in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I just heard a funny joke just now, so I couldn't hold back." Hahausen said. As the contradictions between the Central Powers and the Entente became more and more acute, the Germans were eager to make trouble for Russia. Everyone knows that the German Army is known as the best in the world. However, Russia has an absolute superiority in troops, which is undoubtedly a great enemy for the German Army. If the main forces of the Russian Army could be dragged in Siberia, it would be a great victory for Germany.

Ronsovicz glared angrily, but did not speak. After all, now Russia has been beaten all over the ground by the Northern Army, and has lost hundreds of thousands of elites. It would not be a good thing to intensify the contradictions with Germany at this time.

"Like Minister Hahausen, I thought I had heard a joke. Although, the conditions put forward by the Russian representative are completely unrealistic in our opinion. However, we also ask for our conditions. This war was provoked entirely by the Russian side in the first place. If it weren't for the poisoning of the Mongolian Living Buddha by the Russian consul in Kulen, there would have been no subsequent conflict. Therefore, Russia must apologize to the Chinese Empire.

In addition, our army paid a huge price to regain the lost territories. These territories have been owned by the Chinese since ancient times, and it is simply impossible for us to return them. Therefore, we demand that the border between the two countries be redrawn to the area under the actual control of the armies of both sides. Among them, Vladivostok must be returned to us.

Eventually, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops invaded Mongolia, causing great harm to the local herders. Therefore, Russia must make reparations for this, a total of 500 million oceans! Tang Shaoyi said. These conditions put forward by him are also-for-tat compared with those put forward by the Russian side.

Sure enough, as soon as Lang Suo Weici heard these conditions proposed by Tang Shaoyi, his face was gloomy as if he was at the bottom of a pot.

"Impossible, such conditions, the Russian Empire will never agree." Lang Sovic shouted loudly.

"Now, the Imperial Army has absolute superiority on the battlefield. We have the right to demand it, and that is the legitimate right of the victorious Power. Tang Shaoyi insisted.

This was the first time he had straightened his back and spoken in front of the great powers, which made him feel a sense of raising his eyebrows. Previously, during the Beiyang government, although he was also the Minister of Foreign Affairs. However, the Beiyang government simply treated foreigners as if they were ancestors, and he, as a foreign minister, was insulted by these envoys in China at will. Now, those days are long gone.

"The conditions of the two sides, the differences are too great. It is hoped that the two sides will be able to put forward reasonable terms for the sake of peace. Sir Jurden said.

"In peace negotiations, it is customary for the victorious country to have the right to slaughter the defeated country." The German Minister to China, Hahausen, continued. Germany wished that China would dominate Russia, and the more Russia could be weakened, the better. In this case, Russia will also become more hostile to China, thereby reducing the pressure on Germany on the Eastern Front.

"The Russian Empire is definitely not a defeated country!" Lang Sovici roared angrily.

"Whether it is a defeated country or not is not determined by the size of your voice, but by facts. I believe everyone is very clear about what kind of facts are now. Tang Shaoyi is still light. After all, it was the Imperial Army that now had the upper hand, so what did he have to worry about?

The differences between the two sides were so great that the Russians were not willing to back down even a single step. The Chinese Empire, which prides itself on being a victorious power, will naturally not be willing to back down. So, this made the negotiations deadlocked from the start.

As a result, the British minister, Jurdian, had to suggest that the meeting be adjourned. The two sides communicated privately before starting negotiations.

Although, in the hotel, the Russians prepared rooms for the representatives of various countries to rest. However, in addition to the British Minister Zhu Erdian and the French Minister Pasteur who chose to stay in the hotel, Tang Shaoyi, together with Hahausen and Rou Keyi, all chose to leave.

After Tang Shaoyi and the others left the hotel, they went to the Jinmen Municipal Government. Here, Tsumen City has specially prepared a place to rest. Germany and the United States had close relations with the Chinese Empire, so the ministers of the two countries also showed their support for the Chinese Empire.

Although, in the eyes of Germany and the United States, the Chinese Empire was still very weak. However, the strength of the Chinese Empire's army was undoubtedly among the highest in the world. In addition, the Chinese Empire has now been unified, and a huge market with a population of more than 400 million people is undoubtedly coveted by them. If they can take the lead in this huge market, it will mean great wealth and benefits for them. (To be continued......)
