What should come is still coming. Negotiations still need a result in the end. Xu Jie didn't want to drag it out, and was already a little impatient, and even the Beiyang Fleet had begun to bombard some unimportant ports in Hokkaido, the meaning of this was already very clear, either continue to fight or give in, what is the treaty? It is nothing more than a tool for the victors to consolidate their victories with something on paper, and for the losers to preserve their interests as much as possible.

In fact, even without this treaty, Beiyang would already be the de facto victor, the occupied lands would not be returned, and the Russian forces in Outer Mongolia would be gradually cleared by Beiyang in the coming year. Only an indefinite amount of reparations has not yet reached the other side, but the other side has Hokkaido in its hands and hundreds of thousands of Russians, which makes the Russians have to pay for these two things

The real transaction will not be carried out on the surface, and the so-called final signing is just a result of these overt or covert transactions. Long before the formal negotiations...... The two sides have already been in contact many times in secret. With the passage of time and the deterioration of the situation, the Russians decided on a final showdown, and the first two points were nothing to talk about, unless the Russians could immediately mobilize the army to push back, otherwise, there was only one way to accept. But in terms of reparations, the Russians have to fight! …。

"The price of £20 million is absolutely unacceptable, we can only pay for the meals of the prisoners of war! It's probably around £2 million. Count Witte said, holding his eyes. Do not try to threaten His Majesty the Tsar with prisoners, who, according to international law, must be repatriated after the war. "Actually, Count Witte didn't say a word. That is, if Russia is pushed into a hurry. It doesn't matter if all these prisoners of war are thrown away. Anyway, in these nobles are serious, and the gray sè cattle have it, but it is only because of the face that they discuss these things with Beiyang

"Your Excellency must understand a fact. That is the 20 million pounds plus the losses caused by Russia to our country and the war reparations. Of course. I understand what your country means, your country does not want to hold on to the money, since this is ....... Xu Jie smiled and said nothing.

"Hokkaido? Your country wouldn't be willing to let Hokkaido go back into the hands of Rì himself, would it? Werther sneered.

"Hokkaido is just a small thing, and I now want to know that the main Russian forces are going to confront our country thousands of miles away as the defender of the Slavic nation in the Balkans. So will the forces left in Central Asia be able to control the more than 5 million square kilometers of land? You know, we captured a lot of Russian-style equipment, and these things are useless for our country. On the one hand, it is not compatible with the existing equipment in our country, and on the other hand, we don't like it. Xu Jie said with a smile..........

"But weapons are weapons after all. No matter how bad a weapon is, it can kill, and because of its special role. It can also be exchanged for money. If a rifle for less than 4 pounds is taken to Central Asia and sold to the nomads of Central Asia, or sent to Iran, Afghanistan and other places, I think it will be no problem to buy it for 15 pounds. Zhang Peilun said suddenly.

"Holy! When did Zhang Peilun become like this?! Is this still the head of the clear stream of the year? This man must have changed a little too quickly! Xu Jie looked at Zhang Peilun with some surprise. I didn't believe that such words came out of his mouth.

"Your Excellency is joking, right?" Count Witte said with a sunny face. On the one hand, the brave Cossack cavalry was given mercenary status, and some care was given to other peoples in all aspects, but at the same time, it also limited its size and weapons. But even so, control in Central Asia has been shaky, given the complexity of the ethnic groups. The area is too large, and there is still some distance from Eastern Europe. …。

Not to mention Iran and Afghanistan. I'm still wrestling with the British Empire for these two places! The Russians wanted to go out to the sea and went crazy, not only in the Far East, but even to open a passage from East Asia to South Asia. And to achieve this goal, it is natural that we must first deal with Afghanistan and Iran, and then go to India for trouble, all of which have been said, India is the most brilliant jewel in the crown of the British Empire, and it is strange that the British Empire can bear the idea of fighting India! So the two sides are constantly fighting openly and secretly in Iran and Afghanistan! …。

Originally, the Russians didn't get anything cheap to fight in these two places with the big-pocketed and nimble British, but now it's different. The British are going to war with the Boers for South African diamonds! God-given opportunity, the British Army, which was already sparsely numbered, is now completely pinned down in that far away part of South Africa! There are not many army troops, and there will not be a lot of army equipment, plus now that there is a war, the consumption of ordnance will be greater...... Naturally, there is no focus on Iran and Afghanistan!

But now the Beiyang hand can completely disrupt the plans of the Russians, and no one knows better than the Russians how much arms the Russian army has stored in the entire Far East, not to mention that all kinds of Mosinagan rifles and quick shè guns are enough for the Iranian army to change the stubble! With such a large-scale provision of equipment, now there are enough surplus materials in Beiyang in this world to squander, right? And then let Iran and Afghanistan fight Russia with the weapons of the Russians! It's not something that can be settled with tens of millions of pounds!

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Witt's head, and he knew that the other party was definitely not threatening him, but really planning to do it! Now Beiyang is also short of money! Either the Russians help Beiyang plug this hole, or Beiyang himself finds a way to sell these things! Money can drive a person crazy, and so can a group and a country! …。

Imagine Iranians, Afghans, and rebels in the steppes of Central Asia who have been given enough weapons. Witt knows. One wrong move, and Central Asia will turn into a powder keg. At this moment, Werther was trembling. He shuddered and took the handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped the sweat that had fallen from his head.

For a moment, the whole venue suddenly fell silent, and only the heavy breathing of the Russians could be heard in the whole venue. This matter has a bearing on Russia's stability and overall strategy in Central Asia, and this responsibility is too great for anyone to bear. "Eight million pounds." There was silence for a while, and Count Witte said.

"In that case, our merchant ship will set sail in 2 days to deliver 10,000 rifles, 100 heavy machine guns and 45 75MM speed shè guns and corresponding ammunition for Iran." Xu Jie smiled and said.

"Is that okay? Let's ask for instructions from China first. Until then, however, ships carrying ammunition for Iran cannot set sail. Werther asked.

"No, this is our country's normal trade, and your country has no right to interfere. If we don't get the answer we want within five days, then the second shipment of arms is about to leave Iran. Xu Jie flatly refused.

"Damn, that's our Russian stuff!" Essen cursed in a low voice.

"Vladivostok was originally called Vladivostok, and it was also ours, as well as Yaksanibuchu. These are our things. Zhang Peilun said calmly..........

"Mr. Xu, £20 million is too much. Up to £12 million. Witt said.

"I suggest adjourning the meeting first, after all, this is a big deal, and you need to contact the country." At this time, Xu Jie is not afraid of delay, the submission of the Russians is certain, and he also wants to take advantage of this time to clean up some old goods!
