People or French people, let alone arresting or shooting.

Avril was also in the crowd. Seeing such a hot news subject, he hurriedly asked his assistant to take pictures: "Quick, take pictures quickly..."

"No, no, don't shoot!"

George suddenly woke up, but then realized a more serious problem, "Mr. Sun, I ask your soldiers to stop this farce immediately. Otherwise, I will regard it as a premeditated plan by you Chinese."

"Mr. George, you and I are not the only ones present here, there are also journalists, as well as several distinguished intermediary representatives and envoys from the United States and Germany. Everyone has seen that no Chinese soldier, or even a Chinese, provoked

This fight. With all due respect, they seemed to be crazy..." Sun Changqing expressed regret euphemistically. "You are a senior official of the British government. I think you should have enough deterrence to intimidate them."

George angrily walked forward and stood next to the "rostrum", ready to loudly dissuade him, "As the plenipotentiary representative of the joint negotiation team, I order you to establish... ahem..."

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, a pair of smelly things were thrown up from the stage and hit Plenipotentiary George in the face. He covered his sore left eye and looked down. It turned out to be a pair of bad military boots, and they were British.

Soldier's uniform...

"Okay, I agree that you must stop the 'riot' and 'riot' immediately if you take any action that does not include killing." George compromised. If the fight continues, he will kill someone in front of him. The Chinese will be embarrassed.

He doesn't know that if he is not embarrassed, the British face will become a floor tile around the world and will be stepped on by everyone.

Sun Changqing glanced noncommittally at Chen Jun beside him, and the latter nodded to Gu Tianfeng in the distance, indicating that it was enough.

After receiving the order, Gu Tianfeng walked to the "Chairman" stage and shouted, "Take a break! Turn left!"

This was not shouted to the British and French prisoners who were fighting like mad dogs, but to the guards. Upon hearing this, the guards turned around in unison, put down their rifles at the same time, and raised their rifles with a snap.

In front of his chest, he stared at the fighting British and French prisoners of war.

Two specially selected battalions of troops moved in unison and to a loud beat. The British and French prisoners of war, who had been having a lively fight, suddenly trembled in fright. Looking at the Chinese soldiers, it felt like there was something in everyone's eyes.

Murderous, maybe if you continue to fight, the other party will really shoot.

The prisoners of war had a good life. If they knew that with just an order, these soldiers would really kill them on the spot, they might be scared to death.

The reporters present, officials from the United States and Germany, and negotiators from Britain and France could not help but be surprised. Although the economy of the southwest is not as good as that of their own country, at least the army in front of them is definitely the best among the best. Representatives from Britain and France

People who had participated in the European War were even more shocked. The ordinary army guarding the prisoner of war camp in front of them may have the style of the most elite German troops back then.

"Mr. Sun, we'd better go back and continue the negotiation." George was full of anger and had no place to vent. It was really embarrassing today. The British and the French were embarrassed in front of many reporters from various countries at the same time. He, the plenipotentiary, was so embarrassed.

They all wanted to find a hole to drill down into.

Damn it, if I don't have to take you back, I would even rather let you scum stay in China. George cursed fiercely in his heart, but unfortunately, he can't.

"...First, as the provocateur of this war, the southwest China government should bear all the combat expenses of the British and French sides in this war, totaling 23.65 million pounds...Second, the Ruili area should be used for paid sex

Lease land in Ruili to the Burmese government for 99 years... Third, Britain and Japan jointly lease Fangcheng Port for 99 years... Fourth, return all prisoners of war... Fifth, Zhang Shusheng must personally report to the British and French governments

"Apologize……"

"Pfft!!" When he heard the British read out the terms of this negotiation, Sun Changqing couldn't hold back and spit out a mouthful of tea. Regardless of his image, he was already quite old and slapped the table with his hand.

: "Mr. George, I hope to clarify one issue before we start negotiations. In this war of aggression against southwest China launched by the British and French, you are the losers."

"No, no, no! Mr. Sun, it was your commander-in-chief who massacred our soldiers and patrols in Shanghai, which led to the outbreak of the war." George countered.

"Humph, we just punished the executioners who deserved it. They shot at the students. This is a heinous crime that is not tolerated in the world!" Sun Changqing retorted.

"However, it is a concession, and we have extraterritoriality. Moreover, we have not failed. We have hundreds of thousands or more troops in Myanmar, India, Vietnam, and along the coast of China, and they can enter China at any time. This time

Friendly negotiations are done with good intentions." George said quibbled.

Sun Changqing: "Whether it is a concession or a forcible occupation, it is our Chinese land. Extraterritorial jurisdiction is not suitable for such crimes against humanity. When it comes to war, we are always waiting for you. One thing I want to remind Mr. Plenipotentiary is that this place is far away from

The UK is thousands of miles away, while we are only a few hundred miles away from Myanmar. Of course, I think the German 'government' would very much like to see your country increase its troops in the Far East again, but maybe your people will have different opinions!"

"You..." George was speechless. This old man Sun was really cunning. According to the information, he had never even been abroad. Why did he know so much about the international situation?

George was also aware of the Sino-French war that year, so he advocated that Britain and France jointly form a negotiating team in order to strengthen their momentum. It was also his suggestion to increase troops in Burma, so that the North and the South could put pressure on the southwest, which was also one of the auxiliary actions for the negotiations.

All this is because he wants to turn the negotiations into a second Sino-French war.

At that time, the people of the Qing Dynasty were in panic after winning the war, and they did not have enough understanding of the domestic situation in France. As a result, the French, who were strong externally and powerful internally, actually obtained from the negotiation table what they could not obtain on the battlefield.

However, the attitude of the Chinese this time seems to be a little different!!

Negotiations, trudging forward amid impasse.

When it was the turn of Liu Dengke, one of the Chinese representatives, to read out China's conditions, George, like Sun Changqing, almost jumped up.

"First, Britain and France should bear all the responsibilities for this war and compensate the southwestern government for its military expenses, economic losses, war damage, mass appeasement, and early prisoner costs, totaling 25 million pounds. Second, Britain and France must punish

War criminals should be handed over to China for trial. In addition, Britain and Japan must publicly apologize for the May 15th massacre, punish the murderers, and give an explanation to the Chinese people. Third, Britain and Japan must withdraw from Fangchenggang City immediately. Fifth,

The ransom for the first phase of 3,000 captives was 5 million pounds..."

"No, this is blackmail, naked blackmail, I will never agree to any of it." George snorted coldly.

Sun Changqing: "Mr. George, don't worry. When you read out the conditions before, we in China didn't agree to any of them. It's just a tie."

"Mr. Sun, you should understand that we, Britain, France and Japan will never agree to such harsh conditions. I think maybe war is more suitable for us."

George pretended to get up and leave. Originally, the Japanese wanted to participate in the negotiation, but Zhang Shusheng sternly refused. Even the two observer countries, the Americans and the Germans, could not participate in the negotiation. On the negotiating table, only the United Kingdom and France were present.

More than a dozen representatives, as well as Chinese, representatives forced in by the "governments" from the north and the south, and politicians from other countries were all driven aside.

"Then, let's meet again. However, I would like to remind Mr. George that the war can continue. The battle of 300,000 people will take more than half a year to see the outcome. Mr. George must not forget to pay on time.

The living expenses of more than 30,000 prisoners are too poor in the Southwest. If one day they eat bark to survive, it will be fatal. Maybe I am too worried. At that time, it may be the turn of the Conservative Party to come to power. Because,

You may be at a disadvantage in fighting again..."

Sun Changqing's words immediately defeated the pretentious George. Yes, no matter how much he pretended, the war would definitely not continue, and the prisoners 100% needed to be taken back. All of this was not for him.

However, it has become the expectation of all British people and the basis of the Labor Party's governance.

"Dear Mr. Sun, I just thought of a new direction. Maybe we can discuss this in more depth..." George decided that the negotiation must continue. Even if the results cannot be negotiated day by day, week by month, the negotiation cannot completely fail. Otherwise, the negotiation must continue.

, when I return to the UK, I will definitely not be greeted by rotten eggs, but by black guns.

Sun Changqing, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, couldn't help but feel happy when he saw George's deflated look. Of course he was not in a hurry. It was best to take the negotiations slowly. Just like Shu Sheng said, it would be better to negotiate for a year and a half. Southwest

Should the "government" develop the economy or continue to develop the economy? Everything will go back to before the war. Try to save for the next war.

Just let yourself talk slowly with the British and French. As for Shusheng, the entire southwest is still waiting for him to build.

Half a month later, Zhang Shusheng's office.

"Commander, why did you agree so easily to the British's conditions for redeeming prisoners of war?" Mao Yun first brewed Zhang Shusheng's hand-tanned tea leaves, a folk tea with a unique flavor.

Zhang Shusheng took the tea and didn't reply. He opened the tea with a lid and took a sip. Then he smiled and said: "3,000 prisoners, just let them have a taste. One million pounds is only a few bucks."

.As long as this group of people return to the UK, the remaining families of soldiers will become truly crazy. Just imagine, what would happen if you were a family member of a soldier?"

"They will besiege the Prime Minister's Office every day, clamoring for their son to go home!" Mao Yunxian's eyes lit up, but that was not it.

"That's right! If you want to take something, give it to it first. If you don't give it some sweetness, how can the British stick to it?"

Zhang Shusheng secretly laughed in his heart. The British were eager for success. When the negotiations reached a deadlock, they thought it would be a good thing to send back some prisoners of war to solve their immediate needs. However, he did not expect that they would definitely suffer a lot in the future by raising the requirements for follow-up negotiations like this.

It's a bitter experience. When the time comes, they will naturally know that small gains are not so easy to stand. They will spit out more. Who makes you losers? You have the guts to send hundreds of thousands of troops from thousands of miles away. In addition,

I'm really not afraid of anything else.

Westerners shout about equality every day, but I want to see who is more anxious if 3,000 people go back and 30,000 people stay here.

Thanks to Shengshi Zhonghua for inspiring me, Brother Tianwei and San Shaowei! Brother for your reward. Brother Shengshi Zhonghua has also become the second elder of this book, and I am very grateful. Of course, I also want to thank other readers for their support, like brothers 70sheng and

My computer broke down and my graphics card burned out at night. I finally went to the Internet cafe to write it down and uploaded it at 4:42. Alas, I feel like making some money is more tiring than a migrant worker, and my income is not even close to the latest minimum guaranteed wage in Shanghai.
