    The difficult negotiations have just begun

    In fact, this is much better than the official history. At least, there are now the same heavy casualties of the British.  Otherwise, they will have to wait at least 10 more days before they will establish a negotiating framework for their countries and each other through their respective ministers.

    Due to the arrogant and non-responsive attitude of both Britain and Japan, at the tripartite talks held the day after Zhang Hanqing came to Shanghai, the Chinese side proposed: "In view of the huge casualties suffered by British soldiers in this murder, the Chinese government must  China will apologize and compensate for the losses; the Chinese troops will withdraw from Shanghai; and the captured British Inspector General Maigo Wan and the arresting officer Efusen will be released. Otherwise, China will be responsible for all the consequences that occur!"

    They are the total reflection of Zhang Hanqing¡¯s proposal. Good guys, if such a big thing happened, they still treat it as if nothing happened. They also want the Chinese government to apologize and compensate them for their losses. What do you mean by asking for high prices and sitting on the ground to pay back the money?  Is this what China wants by sending a large-scale delegation with Prince Zhang Hanqing in charge?

    Just when the members of the Chinese delegation were about to refute one by one, Zhang Hanqing slammed the table: "Gentlemen! You are not here to negotiate, but to declare war! If you want to win China in this way and on these conditions,  If you want the people¡¯s understanding, please go back and send your warships over again! I know you have this tradition!¡±

    The Chinese were silent.  Zhang Hanqing's statement has exceeded their responsibilities and authority.  Only a sweet-tempered person like the Young Marshal could be so willing to ignore all the so-called rules, conventions and tacit understandings, right?

    This statement was also beyond the authority of the British and Japanese delegations, and they did not dare to speak up.  Everyone knows the consequences of walking away.

    U.S. Charge d'Affaires Meyer came to be the peacemaker: "Mr. Marshal, please calm down first! Even if the result of the negotiation is not ideal, it will not reach this point. Since everyone is here to talk, naturally they want to resolve this matter peacefully.  "He was the one among the six-member delegation who least wanted the talks to break down.

    Zhang Hanqing was still angry: "Mr. Charge d'affaires, there are silent Chinese citizens outside waiting for the result. Under our advice, they did not choose to respond to violence with violence, but fully expected the government to come forward and recover compensation for the victims.  justice.

    If you don¡¯t break out in silence, you will die in silence!  If there is no progress in today's negotiations, or it cannot bring considerable relief to the current situation, our delegation will have failed the people's expectations and will never redeem itself!  I can let them talk, but if the British continue to have this attitude, I will have to announce our own plan!  "

    This is the first time I heard that the Chinese government has another plan?  Meyer expressed his anticipation.

    Zhang Hanqing walked to the center of the room and said word by word: "The Supreme Court of China appointed the Shanghai High Court to try the two culprits"

    "No!" This was the voice of opposition from Qi Duyou, head of the six-member committee and French minister-counselor.  If the Chinese were allowed to try the British, it would essentially undermine the principle of public trials. Once this trend started, it would have a huge impact on all parties.

    "This is not something you agree or disagree with, but a question to ask whether the 450 million Chinese compatriots agree or not! Of course we will also try this case openly, fairly and fairly. The location has also been selected, it is in the French Concession  The south side is close to Shanghai County. If members are worried about the trial, I would be happy to invite you to come and watch."

    The two main culprits, Chief Inspector Mai Gaoyun and Chief Catcher Aifusheng, have fallen into the hands of the Chinese side. This is a big card.  If the British attitude does not soften, Zhang Hanqing will definitely take them to the concession for public trial. I will throw away your people. If you have the guts, come and rob them!

    Looking at the livid face of the British representative, Meyer had the urge to laugh.  As the U.S. Charge d'Affaires in China, it was impossible for him not to study Zhang Hanqing and understand his development trajectory quite well. As a leading figure in the Feng Dynasty who has absolute influence on China's political situation, how could he not pay attention to his every move?  His teasing comes from his self-confidence, and with the character of the young commander, he really dares to do this!

    ?????????????????????????????????? And if this is really what it takes, it would be better if Britain does not declare war.  But can this scare this experienced young marshal?  I'm afraid not.

    He felt that it would be unwise for the British to add fuel to the fire at this time.  You can only beat Chinese people to death, but you won¡¯t show mercy when your own people are beaten to death. Isn¡¯t this a typical emphasis on logic?  Of course Meyer doesn't think so. He just thinks that we should sit down and talk and resolve the matter.  It¡¯s really fermented and it¡¯s not good for everyone.

    The ministers of France, Italy and the Netherlands reached an agreement behind the scenes and agreed to focus on easing the situation. So after a round of quarrels, the two sides came to the negotiating table again.  This is not to directly address the issue, but to define the content of the negotiation.

    Qi Guidu, head of the committee, said: ¡°What this group can discuss is ways to alleviate the current situation.Release methods of detained Chinese workers, investigation of causes and compensation for corresponding losses.  Other major issues, such as the joint trial of the ministers, etc., must be discussed with the delegation of ministers.  "

    Zhang Hanqing said angrily: "These are all ways to alleviate the current situation, rather than separating the issue of the detention of Chinese workers and the investigation of the reasons! The interrogation of the public house is the main reason for this incident, and you have no right to intervene.  , there is no need to negotiate!¡±

    Qi Dudu was choked back and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Marshal, we are here to negotiate, not to quarrel - quarrels will not help solve any problems!"

    Zhang Hanqing said sternly: "That's right! Arguing can't solve any problem. The only thing that can solve this problem is to use armed force to rescue my illegally imprisoned citizens! You keep saying that you want to ease the situation, but so far there has been nothing that can make the situation easier.  Measures that can be taken to calm it down are just adding fuel to the fire and constantly challenging my bottom line!"

    He looked at them and said quietly: "Every word you said here will be reported to the outside world in full. Since we have been elected or designated to undertake the work of negotiation, we must have the courage to take responsibility to the outside world! Today's  The negotiation ends here, and I hope that tomorrow, we will have someone with whom we can make a decision!"

    Seeing the Chinese delegation filing out, Qi Bidu was furious.  Less than ten minutes after it started, the Chinese themselves left the stage.  They said they were not qualified enough and seemed ready to shift the responsibility for the breakdown of negotiations to their own side.

    Of course!

    ??????????????????How can the few penholders selected by the People's Party be vegetarians?  In less than an hour, a eloquent and powerful press release was released.  According to previous decisions, these manuscripts will be used by the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the central government to set the tone for external speeches.

    The first negotiation broke down quickly, causing already tense nerves in all walks of life to suddenly become tense.  Under Zhang Hanqing's instruction, the People's Party's pen deliberately highlighted the committee's domineering, passive, and indifferent attitude, believing that only with "a more ferocious fighting spirit and a more fearless attitude" than they could wake them up. To this end, it was recommended that the country call on the people to do  Preparation for the final sacrifice!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
