Wu Haoxuan looked at Lin Quanzhu coldly, and he was even more disdainful of the requests he made. The Japanese clearly treated the Jilin Army as a defeated. However, they seem to have forgotten that it is the Japanese Army that is now really at a disadvantage on the battlefield. It was also the Japanese Army that could not wait and wanted to compromise and seek peace.

Not only Wu Haoxuan was disgusted with these unrealistic demands made by Lin Quanzhu, but even the ministers of other countries couldn't help but shake their heads. There was a hint of a smile on their faces, as if they were looking at a clown.

A hint of helplessness flashed across the face of the British Minister to China, Sir Juerdian, who for the first time felt that this ally of the British Empire in the Far East was so unreliable. Choosing this ally may have been a complete mistake. If you don't do it, you will drag Britain into the water.

"If the Jilin Army does not accede to the demands of the Japanese Empire, then the war will continue. The powerful Japanese Army will directly destroy the Jilin Army, and all those who dare to oppose the Japanese Empire will be a dead end. After Lin Quanzhu finished speaking, he stared at Wu Haoxuan viciously, as if he wanted to see Wu Haoxuan's frightened and panicked expression. It's just that to his regret, Wu Haoxuan always had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be frightened.

"Are you finished?" Wu Haoxuan asked with a smile.

Minister Lin Quanzhu nodded.

"Now that we're done, so be it. I waited for the Japanese Army to come and destroy the Jilin Army. After Wu Haoxuan finished speaking, he got up to leave.

"Ahh Lin Quanzhu was dumbfounded. It seems that such a situation was not expected. Naturally, he knew that the conditions put forward by the Japanese side were too harsh. However, isn't negotiation the same as doing business, asking for a price to pay back? Like Wu Haoxuan, he couldn't talk about it and just flipped the table. It's too unreasonable.

The U.S. Minister to China, Rou Keyi, and the Russian Minister to China, Finkodi, couldn't help but laugh.

Sir Zhu Erdian shook his head speechlessly, and then said: "Your Excellency, young marshal, if you are not satisfied with this condition, you can continue to talk, in the negotiation, it is normal to have differences. Isn't negotiation all about providing a platform for resolving differences? The British Empire wanted to be able to end the war. I hope that Your Excellency the Young Marshal will not be rash. ”

Sir Zhu Erdian had to speak, and used the great strength of the British Empire to persecute Wu Haoxuan. Although their allies are too unreliable. But that's their ally, after all. For the sake of the British Empire, they had to pull the Japanese along.

"Sir Sir, I think. The Japanese side did not realize that we had won the war. On the contrary, he had a face that he was the victor, which made me very disgusted. If the Japanese side insists on this position, there is no need for this negotiation to proceed at all. It's better to use war as an excuse. Wu Haoxuan said neither humbly nor arrogantly. Although the face of the British must be given. But that doesn't mean he's going to grovel.

"Yes, I fully agree with the words of His Excellency the Young Marshal. It is unrealistic for the Japanese side to slaughter the Jilin Army as the vanquished. They should clear their minds and make correct judgments before proceeding with peace talks. Minister Rou Keyi expressed his support for Wu Haoxuan.

"The Japanese are always so arrogant and arrogant. Now, is it so arrogant that you can't even tell the situation on the battlefield? Minister Kodi also scoffed.

Minister Lin Quansuke's old face suddenly turned red, which was completely a humiliation to him and even the entire Japanese Empire.

"Yaga, these guys, dare to mock the Great Japanese Empire. Someday it will cost them. Lin Quanzhu said secretly in his heart.

"Your Excellency, the Japanese side has already made their request. So. What are your requirements? You can bring them all up and then negotiate. Sir Jurden said.

"Okay." Wu Haoxuan nodded.

"First, Japan must apologize to the Jilin Army for this incident and compensate us for our losses. Japan brazenly dispatched more than 200,000 troops to invade Northeast China, which caused great harm to the innocent people in the northeast of the Jilin Army. Therefore, Japan must compensate us 100 million pounds.

Second, Japan must give up all its special rights and interests in Tohoku. The unequal treaties that forced the Manchu government to sign were nullified.

Third, the Japanese army and immigrants must evacuate the Northeast and abolish the Kwantung Prefecture. He also promised not to be hostile to the Jilin Army in the future. ”

Wu Haoxuan put forward three demands. Of course, these demands are also a bit of a lion's mouth, and they are completely in response to the previous demands made by the Japanese. In particular, the claim for 100 million pounds in damages. If the Japanese had 100 million pounds, they would probably have chosen to continue the war rather than sue for peace. After all, a big reason why the Japanese sued for peace was that they had no money to continue fighting.

"Impossible! The Great Japanese Empire will not accept such conditions, and you are wishful thinking. The Great Japanese Empire has not lost the war yet, and you don't want to blackmail the Great Japanese Empire because you have a slight advantage. Minister Lin Quanzhu said through gritted teeth.

Japan's interests in Tohoku were won by the death of 100,000 people and at a cost of nearly two billion yen. In this war, they lost more than 100,000 men and spent a lot of military spending. If these benefits are lost, it will undoubtedly be unacceptable to all the Japanese people.

Sir Zhu Erdian also frowned, and the conditions proposed by the Japanese side were also outrageous. But the conditions put forward by the Jilin Army are also very harsh! It is clear that both sides are opening their mouths. And this will also make it difficult for the two sides to reach an agreement.

"If the Japanese side doesn't accept it, then it doesn't matter, just keep fighting. I'm sure you'll soon accept it. A smile appeared on the corner of Wu Haoxuan's mouth.

"Yaga!" Lin Quanzhu was furious. Wu Haoxuan is obviously persecuting him. If it drags on, this will obviously be bad for Japan. The war situation on the front line is already about to bring Japan down.

"Your Excellency, your country should make a reasonable request again. Otherwise, it will lead to a delay in the realization of peace. In order to maintain peace in the Far East, the British Empire may be forced to adopt some means. Sir Jurden urged.

Lin Quanzhu's face suddenly turned happy, if there was the support of the British, maybe the situation could be changed.

On the other hand, Wu Haoxuan's face changed, and the British clearly stood on the side of the Japanese.

Fortunately, Wu Haoxuan is not alone. As soon as Zhu Erdian made a threat, Minister Rou Keyi stepped forward.

"Your Excellency Zhu Erdian, you only asked the Jilin Army to make a new reasonable demand, but you did not make such a request to the Japanese side, which seems to be favoring the Japanese side. If that were the case, it would be unfair. Rou Keyi said. Although, the comprehensive national strength of the United States is inferior to that of the United Kingdom. However, they are not afraid of Britain as their industrial strength grows.

"Russia also believes that the Japanese side is too arrogant, and the demands they have put forward are simply unrealistic." The Russian minister, Kodi, also stood on the opposite side of the Japanese.

German Minister Hahausen and French Minister Pasteur also expressed their opinions, and among them, Hahausen's attitude was undoubtedly biased towards the Jilin Army. Pasteur, on the other hand, was strictly neutral. But even this is enough to show that the opinion of the legation was divided into two factions, except for the British who sided with Japan, the rest of them turned to support the Jilin Army. This is undoubtedly very unfavorable for Japan.

"Of course, the conditions put forward by the Japanese side are also unreasonable, and the Japanese side also needs to make more reasonable demands." Sir Jurdian said. Britain, as strong as it is, is not yet able to confront several countries at once. Although he was the leader of the legations, he could not forcibly suppress the other ministers.

Lin Quanzhu glared at the gloating Minister Kodi angrily, rolled his eyes, and then said, "Since the differences between our two sides are very large, it must take a long time to reach an agreement. However, during the peace talks, we can first implement a ceasefire. In that case, we will have plenty of time for peace talks. ”

"This is a good proposal, we can start with a ceasefire and negotiate slowly." Sir Jurdian nodded repeatedly.

"Until the peace talks reach an agreement and real peace is achieved, the Jilin Army will not cease fire. If the Japanese side wants to reach an agreement at an early date, then please show more sincerity. Wu Haoxuan said coldly. If a cease-fire is implemented, the Japanese will have peace of mind, and they may drag on forever. If the Japanese solve the problem of funding, it is more likely that the war will be rekindled.

"This is not in line with international practice, and there should be a ceasefire first, and then peace talks." Lin Quanzhu insisted.

However, Wu Haoxuan was unmoved.

Although, the butt of the British in negotiations has always been crooked, biased towards the side of the Japanese. But Wu Haoxuan not only had the support of the Americans, but also the Russians and Germans were on his side. Coupled with the neutrality of the French, he was well placed to compete with Japan and England. Therefore, in the face of the unreasonable demands of the Japanese, he sternly refused.

This was the end of the first day of negotiations. On the battlefield in Liaodong, the guns and cannons are still roaring.

"Send a telegram to the front asking them to intensify their offensive. Since the Japanese are not willing to back down, then find a way to help them make a decision as soon as possible. Wu Haoxuan said.

As long as the situation on the battlefield becomes more and more critical, little Japan will always be unable to sit still.

"Yes, young marshal." Li Yanling nodded. (To be continued......)
