【1273 The True Meaning of War】

"Arrang to see you now." The cute president said to Wang Zhankui.

Wang Zhankui agreed and turned around.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Princess Katrina Kaif asked with concern.

"Ito Hirofumi's diplomatic secretary Shigeru Moriyama came to ask for a meeting." President Meng smiled slightly.

Princess Katrina Kaif said oh, and said strangely: "What are they doing at this time? It should be Hirobuki Ito who is here in person if he is here? A diplomatic secretary wants to see His Majesty, hum."

"Haha, let's talk again, what else can I do? You have to understand others. If Hiromitsu Ito comes in person, it will be too much of a stir. Moreover, if I guess correctly, this is what Hiromitsu Ito himself means. I have not discussed it with the country. Ito should just come first to explore the verbal trend. Hiromitsu Ito's position in the Japanese government is limited and has not yet reached the influence of the political situation." The cute president smiled.

Princess Katrina Kaif nodded and said, "Well, what Your Majesty guesses should be right. Do I want to avoid it?"

"No, I could just let you see it. I want to hear what this guy said. I haven't seen the Japanese for a long time." Hua Huang said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Princess Katrina Kaif stood behind the cute CEO.

Shigeru Moriyama brought an interpreter to the office of Emperor Hua. The two saluted the Emperor respectfully, "Dear Your Majesty."

The cute CEO nodded.

"Dear Princess, Your Highness." The two saluted Princess Katrina Kaif again.

Although Princess Katrina Kafu did not get the title, it is not only at home but also internationally that Princess Katrina Kafu is the personal assistant of Emperor Hua, and even handles most of the military and political affairs on behalf of Emperor Hua, not to mention the Japanese who are very concerned about the situation in China.

Princess Katrina Kaif smiled sweetly, "Hello. Please sit down. If you have anything to say, your Majesty is about to have lunch break soon. He said that he hadn't seen a Japanese friend for a long time, so he agreed to meet him in person."

"Thank you Your Majesty." After hearing the translator's words, Shigeru Moriyama quickly bowed deeply to Emperor Hua again.

In fact, Shigeru Moriyama can speak Chinese directly, but it is not very standard, so he brought a translation. If it is Hirobuki Ito, there is no need to translate it. Hirobuki Ito can basically directly talk to the cute president in Chinese.

"I am here this time to ask Your Majesty for peace talks. Our Japanese government can apologize to China for the previous sending troops to North Korea. Lord Li Hongzhang of China proposed to ced the entire Kyushu Island and pay 500 million yuan in compensation was too harsh. We have no choice but to agree, so we would like to ask Your Majesty to lower the conditions for the friendship between China and Japan." Shigeru Moriyama almost choked up.

Emperor Hua smiled slightly and thought to himself, Damn, you Japanese still know that there is friendship between China and Japan? You are just wild animals produced by a group of remnants of Qin who escaped during our Qin Dynasty, but when did you ever respect your ancestors?

Emperor Hua looked at Princess Katrina Kaifu. Princess Katrina Kaifu understood what His Majesty meant and asked, "What are your conditions?"

"As long as China can completely withdraw from Japan, any conditions can be discussed." Shigeru Moriyama hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty is the emperor who can control the future of Asia. Please take the development of Asian neighbors as your responsibility."

The cute CEO smiled and said, "You are wearing this big hat, and you will invade labor and capital when you develop it?"

"The Chinese country cannot give up its vested interests in Japan, and the war is the reason why you initiated it first and put it all over the world, and you have no gains to return the things you have obtained." Princess Katrina Kaif replied coldly.

"Your Majesty, although your Chinese country is now strongly armed, it is impossible to annex Kyushu Island with just a few thousand troops. I believe your Majesty should understand this. Moreover, as long as we fight on the local area, as long as Kyushu Island has Chinese troops, we will continue to fight to recover lost lands, and never stop." Shigeru Moriyama replied in a humble and arrogant manner, "The huge consumption brought by the war is not something that the 600,000 Chinese people moved to Japan can afford."

"You Japanese understand quite well, but do you think you can be arrogant with the support of Britain and France? Can you guarantee that the British and French will support you for a long time? Have you ever thought about the consequences of fighting with our China?" Emperor Hua asked indifferently.

"Of course, if both sides have to fight to the end, it will be of no benefit to anyone. No one can tell who will win the final victory of the war. Therefore, we want to ask Your Majesty to take a step back." Shigeru Moriyama replied in broken Chinese.

"You are really suitable for diplomacy. Although it is not as good as Hirobuki Ito, the general idea is said. Since you have no sincerity, I think that's it." Emperor Hua stood up with a smile.

Shigeru Moriyama quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, all diplomatic rhetoric is tactful, but we are indeed sincere and hope to end the dispute with China and maintain the long-term friendship between the two countries."

"I understand what you mean, but I'd better wait for Hirobuki Ito to talk to me by himself." Hua Huang smiled, "If your conditions have not changed, there is no need to continue to talk. I will give you a range, cede land and compensation, either, either. The specific scope of cede land and the amount of compensation can be discussed. How about it? I'm much more refreshing than you, right?"

Shigeru Moriyama for some reason, but when he looked at Emperor Hua, who was two shorter than him, he felt breathless. Emperor Hua's majesty came from Emperor Hua's power, not the appearance of the 9-year-old boy in front of him.

Shigeru Moriyama knew that it would be useless to say more, so he had to bow and say, "I'll disturb Your Majesty, let's say goodbye first."

"Okay, I won't give it to you." The cute president nodded and sat in his seat again.

Wang Zhankui made a call at the door of the cute president's office.

Shigeka Moriyama bowed deeply to Emperor Hua again and withdrew from Emperor Hua's office.

"I said a nonsense, I don't know what the Japanese think." Princess Katrina Kaif smiled and said, "I think they are just here to test His Majesty's current attitude, and they have no sincerity in peace talks."

"You are right, so you can't be too hard on them, you have to leave them a space for imagination." Hua Huang sighed and said, "The difficulty lies in the fact that we are still in a backward situation, otherwise I wouldn't have met the Japanese in person."

Princess Katrina Kaif nodded and said, "Yes, war is really too expensive. Fighting a war, even a small, local war of thousands of people, is very expensive. The cost of a soldier's war can be worth more than one year of income from a hundred families."

The cute president pulled Princess Katrina Kaif to her side and sat down, "Yes, each shell costs 100,000 yuan. When our artillery is trained, we usually only make one round a month. An ordinary Chinese individual works in a state-owned enterprise, and his monthly salary is between 30 and 40 yuan. A missile is equal to the salary of 3,000 people. Or the income of a person working for a lifetime. You only have the first-class missile sounds in your life. In the past, there were knights in Europe, but the number of knights was actually very small when fighting. Because of a manor, a fiefdom, and a principality, a knight can be raised. So knights are often big landlords, not because they are brave, but because they cannot spend a lot of money to train outsiders into knights."

"Well, the war is about national strength. Everyone understands this principle, but the British seem to not understand it! It is because they have taken a big advantage in the Qing court in the past, and have formed a certain impression of our China. If we had not defeated the British Indian army in Guangdong, they would have been even more arrogant. Your Majesty, you said that Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty could send 500,000 troops to fight Mongolia in person, and the population of the Qing Dynasty increased greatly. But why could only mobilize tens of thousands of people to participate in the Opium War? Even if the British army had strong weapons at that time, the British army had only more than 10,000. Didn't the Qing court say that they had the largest army in the world? If the Qing Dynasty mobilized millions of troops to counterattack Britain, used the tactics of the sea of ​​people, and fought at home, they should be able to defeat Britain."

Hua Huang smiled and said, "It means you haven't carefully studied the history of the Qing court. At that time, the Qing army was the largest standing army in the world. However, this was an army that included police, internal affairs, and national defense forces. As a centralized country, China valued the most the most the people, and the police and internal affairs forces of this army were very heavy. At that time, the Qing army could mobilize the troops in wartime, ranging from 200 to 1,000. Even in wartime, there were only a little more than 10,000 people gathered in Humen. Because the Qing Dynasty division with police functions were divided into different postcards, flood gates, and divided into different posts.

In different counties and villages, they were scattered in small units for defense, so the number of people who could be transferred during the war was really limited. At the same time, due to the insufficient salary of the soldiers at that time, their military salary was about 12 taels a year, but according to the food standards at that time, 12 taels a year was enough for one person to eat, while 3 people were far from enough. In addition, the exploitation of the superiors, exploitation of various names, such as deducting 10 documents per month, such as the ceremonial guards that they need to prepare for taking office were distributed from soldiers, and became side jobs when they became side jobs. Therefore, many people usually hired people to do their jobs and had their own main business. Such an army would definitely not have had a good combat effectiveness. Otherwise, we would not have defeated Beijing in two months."

"Yes, I often couldn't help but be excited when I think of the war toppled the Qing court. Our strength was so small at that time. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had not done anything for more than ten years, and we did it in two months." Princess Katrina Kaif smiled.
