In the conference room of the Chinese General Staff, the peace request letter from the United States was being circulated among the generals.
"Now Zuo Zongtang's Dongzhou army has just begun to move south. Without even encountering the enemy, the Mi Country has come to sue for peace. Let's talk about whether we should continue to conquer more territory."
"President, we can actually get the territory without fighting. We just need to learn how Blue Star took over Hong Kong in 1840."
After Zhu Yidian finished speaking, everyone couldn't help laughing.
It was really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. It was almost exactly thirty years. The development of China was indeed very amazing.
"What we occupy now must be recognized by the Mi Country as belonging to our country. In addition, what other territories should we let the Mi Country carve out?"
"It's useless to give us the distant ones. It's more useful to give us the Yu District and the British District in the west of the Canadian District. In this way, when we fight with the Free State in the future, we can directly attack their Chinese District through the British District."
Tong Ronghai pointed to the plate analysis of Dongzhou on the map.
"Similar to my thoughts, I am also interested in these two areas. Alaska's latitude is too high for development. If we add these two areas, development will be much easier, and we can station a lot of troops."
Shi Dakai smiled slightly.
"President, what if the Mi-Zi country refuses?"
Tan Tiyuan asked.
"There is no reason why he won't do it. Do you think the young government at that time could refuse to cede Hong Kong? As long as we stationed heavy troops on the border of the Indian region, he would have to sign any treaty."
Everyone laughed again when they heard this.
"Should we go to the United States for military spending again? Let me tell you two stories. When I was a child, when I proposed conditions to my parents, I might be rejected if I proposed one, but if I proposed two, I would usually be able to guarantee one. "
Nie Shicheng analyzed it seriously.
"It makes sense. Let's settle it. Let the Mi country cede the Yu District and the British District, and add another 1 million Chinese RMB."
"The Signal Corps ordered Zeng Guofan to deploy five legions at the border of Burma, and to deploy five legions at the border of India in central Asia."
"At the same time, notify Li Hongzhang to reply to Mi Ziguo that China can accept peace talks. The time for the peace talks will be July 15, and the location will be set in Nanjing."
The communications soldier quickly walked out of the conference room and went to the communications room to send the telegram.
Blue Star On July 15, 1866, in the conference room of the Nanjing Municipal Government, the ambassador of the United States held peace talks with China.
Shi Dakai had a confident smile on his face and sharp eyes, as if he was telling Mi Zi Country that their fate was doomed.
The ambassador of the United States looked solemn. They knew that the outcome of this negotiation would be very unfavorable to their government.
"Mr. Ambassador, actually we don't want to fight. It was you who attacked our territorial waters first. China has always loved peace, and we are willing to resolve disputes through peaceful means."
"Mr. President, our country also hopes to maintain friendly relations with China, so can we cease the war and resume cooperation?"
The U.S. ambassador tried to find a trace of fairness in the negotiations.
"I can agree, but I can't make decisions for the soldiers who died in the Yellow Sea. If you provoke a dispute, you must pay the price?"
Shi Dakai crossed his arms and placed them on his chest.
"Excuse me, what are your conditions?"
The ambassador of the United States is submissive.
"It's very simple. Grant our country's legitimacy to own the southeastern part of Central Continent and South Continent, cede the Yu District and the British District in the eastern part of the Canada District, and pay a compensation of 1 million Chinese RMB."
Shi Dakai mercilessly squeezed their negotiation space, leaving them with nowhere to escape.
"Your Excellency, these conditions are too harsh, and it is difficult for our monarch to accept them."
The ambassador of the United States began to sweat on his face.
"You can also agree to nothing. Then ask your monarch to prepare reserve troops and send them to the Indian area. We will give you three months to prepare, and three months later we will attack the Indian area."
Shi Dakai patted the table and looked fiercely at the Ambassador of the United States. He was so overwhelmed by Shi Dakai's pressure that he didn't know how to reply.
"Let's do this. I have already said that China loves peace. Let's take a step back. We don't need 1 million Chinese yuan. The rest cannot be less, so that you can have an explanation when you go back."
In fact, the Yu District and the British District in the eastern part of the Canadian District are also places where birds don't shit. There are basically no people living here, and they are also bitterly cold places.
The king of Mizi Country told the ambassador the bottom line before he came. As long as he could spend some money or cut some land, it would be no problem.
"Okay, our country can accept this condition."
The eyes of the Ambassador of the United States were full of helplessness and helplessness, and his voice was low and weak.
Shi Dakai motioned with his eyes to Li Hongzhang to take out the drafted treaty.
Li Hongzhang immediately left his seat and placed the treaty on the desk of the ambassador of the United States.
"Mr. Ambassador, please read the contents of the treaty. If there is no problem, you can sign it."
The representative of the weak country looked at the treaty in front of him. The pen in his hand moved gently on the paper. Each stroke was like their heartbeat, nervous and powerful.
Finally, his pen stopped. They looked helplessly at the unequal treaty signed on the paper, and the grief in their hearts could not be expressed in words.
Today's ambassador to the United States is just like the ambassador of the Qing government more than 20 years ago. He doesn't even have a chance to refute.
The Treaty of Nanjing that was held more than 20 years ago has expired, and both China and the United States have ushered in a new Treaty of Nanjing.
So far, China's territory has reached more than 35 million square kilometers, ranking first in the world in terms of territory.
Fighting depends on comprehensive national strength. As long as China continues to develop and vigorously improve its economy and increase its productivity, China will be the one to unify the world in the future.
Blue Star On August 1, 1866, it was time to start vigorously developing a round of economy. Mineral resource mining methods and farmland production methods began to be applied to Nanzhou and northwest Dongzhou.
A large number of Chinese people began to go to Nanzhou and Dongzhou to explore for minerals and contract farmland, and the population of Nanzhou and the northwest of Dongzhou began to increase dramatically.
Gold mines in Alaska began to be continuously explored, and countless mining factories were established. Since then, together with Mexico City in South China, China has had two more large gold mine production bases.
When the Emperor of the Mao Xiong Kingdom learned about this situation, he felt regretful. If they had known about this day, they should have come to develop Alaska in advance. In this way, their treasury would have money and they would not be beaten by China.
After two rounds of wars, big countries such as the Mizi Kingdom, the Mao Xiong Kingdom, and the Gallic Kingdom were all defeated by China. No other country dared to invade. The next step was to emancipate the mind, become a maritime power, financial sniper, and arms monopoly. weaken these great powers.
