Rebirth of South America as King

Chapter 314: The first peace talks broke

Gordon stood in the lobby of the embassy and acted as an audience to witness the confrontation between Hu Yaji and Auston. After Hu Yaji left, Gordon said, "The problems left by the Argentine war are no longer simply solved by force. I believe the Minister can use his skills The Chinese diplomacy forced the Han people to submit.

I regret that I did not lead the expeditionary fleet to complete the heavy duty delivered by Her Majesty. All South American affairs are entrusted to you. Tomorrow I will forward a formal telegram to London to bear the responsibility for the failure of the Argentine war. . "

During his more than a month in Brazil, Gordon seriously reflected on his situation. Stubbornly occupying the position of commander of the Far East Fleet. In addition to doing nothing all day, it also caused the annoyance of the members of the London government. The failure of the Argentine war requires someone to bear responsibility. As the highest commander of the expeditionary fleet, a commander who made a bad command and made a mistake in combat, Gordon couldn't get rid of it anyway. Instead of stalemate to the end, he was hurriedly ousted by others. It would be better to use the tradition of British gentlemen. , To show British Queen Victoria her views on the Argentine war, to take the initiative to bear the responsibilities that she should bear in the war, and to do so,

At least the basic decent of a noble general was retained.

"The failure of the Argentine war is not just your responsibility. Prime Minister Glaston secretly obstructs the resolution of the parliament. Delaying the expedition to South America is the most direct responsibility for the failure of the Argentine war. If the Prime Minister adopted Disraeli The Earl's suggestion did not weaken the strength of the Far East Fleet and immediately dispatched the Fleet to intervene in the situation in South America. In that case, the expeditionary fleet with a total strength of more than 20,000 who set off half a month in advance could completely defeat the Chinese army that invaded Argentina.

The Jazz is an excellent empire general. The current situation in South America still requires the Jazz to lead the expeditionary fleet in Brazil to maintain balance. "

"South America needs better generals to command the expeditionary fleet. I have written to recommend Roberts as commander of the expedition. If there is no accident, I believe that it won't be long before Buckingham Palace will send a new appointment."

Gordon made a decision and did not care about Oston's polite retention. He continued, "General Roberts has participated in the suppression of the Indian uprising. He has rich experience in combat. He took over as commander of the Expeditionary Force and believes that the situation in South America will move towards In the direction of the Empire. "

"Jazz's determination has been made, and I will no longer retain it, but before the new appointment in London does not arrive, please ask the Jazz to cooperate with the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs to complete the peace talks with the Han Chinese."

"This is of course, this is what I should do." ...

After sending Gordon with a serious look, Oston's face showed a knowing smile. Gordon was stubborn and a fanatical religious member. Working with him, his body was full of uncomfortable feelings. It is said that Gordon still kept a basic self-knowledge, and resigned to the London government in a timely manner, that is, while he was in the position of commander of the expeditionary force, Auston undermined the enemies of the British army and lost more than 2,000 troops in battle. Give your opinion to the London government.

After leaving a general that he did not deal with, by the way, he shrugged off responsibilities such as diplomatic mistakes during the Argentine war, and Oston was in a good mood, so he instructed the staff of the embassy to call on the Chinese negotiators and start talks again on the armistice.

"The British Empire ’s determination to maintain a civilized world order will never change. If your country can clearly see the situation and sincerely hope that South America can restore peace, you must agree to the following conditions:

One Han army withdrew from Argentina and Uruguay, returning illegally occupied British-owned enterprises.

The Han government stopped the barbaric eviction policy and allowed Argentine whites to return to their original places of residence and return the local white houses and land property.

Third, stop hurting white Argentine women and not force white Argentine women to marry Chinese men as wives. Because of government pressure, white women who marry Chinese men must be forced to compensate them for their personal losses and allow them to separate from their Chinese husbands.

The four Han governments promised to abandon all overseas colonial strongholds and ordered the Han armed forces in the Congo, Kismayo, and Mtwara to surrender their resistance and surrender to the nearby Imperial Army and the three-country coalition forces in Italy and Belgium.

At the same time, the Han government must withdraw from the illegal garrisons in the Natuna Islands and Songkhla to stop privately instigating the Qing Dynasty in Southeast Asia to resist the empire and the Dutch government's legal rule over the local area.

On the return of the occupied Chilean territories, the Han Chinese troops withdrew from the land on the Pacific coast and must not illegally enter Patagonia in the name of protecting Indians.

Sixth, to liberalize the domestic market, the Chinese customs shall not impose value-added tariffs on imported British goods.

The Seven Han Dynasty compensated 20 million silver for the interests of British Empire enterprises and the damage caused to Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, and Chile during the Argentine War. ......... "

"Impossible, the Kingdom of Han will never accept such humiliating conditions!"

After yesterday's afternoon talks, Hu Yaji expected the British to propose many terms for peace talks, but still underestimated the appetite of the British, and the lion opened his mouth and proposed so many unacceptable terms at once.

"The conditions given by the British Empire are not harsh. If it is not to avoid breaking the fragile peace in South America again, the British Empire is ready to send more fleets and soldiers to recapture Argentina and Uruguay that you have invaded.

Sir, calmly consider the terms of the peace talks proposed by the British Empire. In order to show the sincerity of the peace talks, the British Empire has made concessions. As long as you agree to the above conditions, the British Empire will announce to the world that it acknowledged that before 1872, your country from Brazil and The land occupied by Argentina became the legal land of the Han Dynasty.

Compared to more than ten years ago, when you were working in South America, when you didn't have a piece of land, you had two states in southern Brazil and five states in northern Argentina as national territory. The British Empire was already very kind. "

"His Excellency, every inch of the land under the feet of the Chinese in South America was sacrificed by His Majesty the King and the Chinese army, not because of the sympathy and kindness of Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil."

Hu Yaji coldly refuted the view of the British Minister "The three places, Congo, Kismaayo and Mtwara, are all land acquired by the Han government through legal transactions with local indigenous chiefs. Even according to your Europeans, in our Before they set foot on the African continent, those three lands were also landless. The Han army acquired land ownership by reasonable and legal means. Why did the British Empire take away the results of the Chinese land reclamation for ten years? Is this your Excellency? Peace and justice in the British Empire? "

Britain ’s maritime strength surpassed that of European and American countries, and the subsequent development of the Han country was inseparable from the addition of Chinese in the Central Plains and Nanyang. If the Han country and the UK have been in a state of stalemate, the British need only block Han ’s overseas traffic. Isolating the ties between Han and its neighboring countries and overseas regions, the migration of foreign population that Han depends on for development and the introduction of industrial development equipment will be interrupted.

Britain was able to use its own authority and maritime strength to isolate the Han country into a closed island ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ In the 1880s, no single country could bear the cost of the long-term blockade by Britain. Based on such considerations and concerns, a group of high-ranking Chinese officials like Hu Yaji hope to reach an early compromise with the United Kingdom and end the Han Dynasty. Disadvantages of the blockade.

"His Excellency, it is your country that initiated the peace talks. The British Empire only put forward reasonable conditions for peace talks in accordance with the practice among western civilizations. These conditions are already the most basic bottom line of the empire. Bring peace and friendship to the British Empire. "

"The Han country also has its own bottom line. In order to end the South American war at an early date, the Han government promised to use the current actual line of control as the standard. After the Argentine war ended, it no longer sought to change the territory of the continental America. During the Argentine war, The British-funded enterprises that are temporarily supervised, except for a small number of companies invested and invested by the Argentine government, all other British-funded enterprises are returned to your government. The Chinese government is willing to compensate the economic losses suffered by your businessmen and enterprises during the war. "

Hu Yaji will take a step back and continue to say, "On the issues of Africa and Southeast Asia, in order to take care of the interests of the United Kingdom, Han is willing to discuss with your government carefully on issues such as Kismayo, Mtwara, and Chinese management in British Malaya. The settlement was negotiated, but the Congo and the Natuna Islands are the bottom line that Han cannot give up and cannot be handed over to your country. "

"Sir, are you kidding me?"

The British Minister sneered and said sternly, "None of the conditions of the British Empire is allowed to be changed. If your country cannot accept it, wait for the punishment of the Empire!" ...

The British Minister insisted that the terms of the peace talks could not be changed, and the negotiations that lasted for several days ended in failure.
