"You want to frame us with just a few Mauser shells? Please! Can you do your causal logic first..." Xiao Hexin looked at Ulan Geli with contempt.
"Since you have avoided the issue of confessions, I don't have to continue to pester you. Now I will talk to you about the issue of bullet casings..."
"Let's not talk about who provided these Mauser shells. First, we have to find out whether the Battle of Sandaogou existed or not! This is the core of all problems. I'm afraid I won't be able to continue talking to you without solving it first... "
"First of all, none of us here know about your Russian defense situation in the Far East. You have never invited any of us to visit the Far East. In other words, does Sandaogou Military Camp exist? Or does it exist? How many people? These questions are all doubtful..."
"Please, brother, you said your family lost gold, you have to prove that you have gold first?"
The people around him nodded in sudden realization, except for Wulan Geli, whose faces were blue with anger, and their lips were trembling, unable to speak.
Xiao Hexin said: "The problem now is that the Russian side said it was attacked and then used this attack to accuse us. However, the crime scene did not allow the multi-party investigation team to enter, and they could not provide sufficient evidence. The arrests Do you want to frame us with just a handful of bullet casings?”
"God knows if you made up the Far East Volunteer Army? Since you can accuse others casually, I can also accuse you without evidence... I say that the Volunteer Army is a scam you made up!"
"You massacred Chinese remnants in the Far East, caused a civil commotion, and then claimed that there was a volunteer army? Any fool can understand your purpose. Isn't it just to provoke conflicts and take advantage of the chaos like you did 8 years ago? Rely on coercion. Is this how you use inducements to force the imperial court to cede territory and pay compensation, so as to achieve your goal of moving south step by step?"
"Shameless! So shameless..." Wulan Geli swept down all the documents and bowls in front of him. He roared crazily and went completely crazy. "How can you not admit it? How can you deny it? Sandaogou The corpse pit is still there. Who among the Chinese residents around doesn’t know where a war happened? The military camp that was burned down by fire is right there, and you are acting like a rogue and denying it!"
"Then let us form a joint investigation team and activate a neutral third party to conduct an investigation. As long as the investigation team confirms that the Battle of Sandaogou is real, we will naturally continue to negotiate with you. Otherwise, I can only say sorry... …”
The feeling of being played as a scoundrel is very depressing, especially for a diplomat with a military background like Ulan Geli. The feeling of being hit on cotton with his fists is really depressing and makes people vomit blood, just when he is about to flip the table. At the moment of resorting to force, French Minister Goldmire finally came to the rescue.
"Dear sir, please calm down first! I think the main disagreement on the issue is whether the Battle of Sandaogou existed, and whether it can be positioned as a war... After all, Mr. Ulan Geli provided bullet casings and a confession. Then I think even if there is no such large-scale battle, there should be conflicts!"
"The reason is the bullet casing! How can there be used bullet casings if there is no conflict? Even if we assume that everything is a provocative conspiracy by Russia, it is true that no country can get Mauser rifles and ammunition in the international arms market. There is no doubt about this..."
"One or two bullet casings may not be evidence, but this half box contains two to three hundred bullet casings, which is not a small number. If the Russian side continues to search the battlefield, they may be able to find more... I think this will serve as The evidence should still be established!”
"That's it!" Ulan Geli spoke with a cry in his voice. Finally someone spoke for him after such a long time. He felt so aggrieved!
"That's the truth. You keep making sophistry, but you explain to me the problem of the bullet casing? If you can't explain it, then you are the murderers behind the scenes!"
Xiao Hexin's eyes narrowed slightly and he thought to himself, "Russia and France actually came together? It seems that the Prime Minister really offended the French before. We must remind Prussia that the old man may intervene during the Franco-Prussian War. …”
"Not only in the Franco-Prussian War, but also in the Far East War of Independence, you have to be careful about these French people!"
The people watching on the outside of the lobby all sweated from their palms, and Zhang Jing's brushes, which were used to write shorthand, began to tremble, and the black words on the white paper were like crawling earthworms.
Everyone felt a sigh of relief and thought it was a bad idea. The French took such a detour and threw the question back. Let's not discuss the qualitative issue of the Battle of Sandaogou. Instead, they directly forced Xiao Hexin to explain the Mauser cartridge case. This is an unavoidable question. Xiao Hexin has always wanted to avoid this problem, but can he still avoid it now?
Xiao Hexin tapped his fingers lightly on the table and looked at the two ministers Ulan Geli and Goldmire calmly, which made them feel a little chill on their backs.
"Why didn't you answer? Are you speechless? Do you dare to deny the facts I said? In addition to Prussia, the country of origin of Mauser, isn't it the case in Ryukyu that you can get this kind of rifle? This point Do you dare to deny it?"
Wulan Geli sneered and said, "In front of the ministers of Britain, France and the United States, you can deny this if you have the guts... Let the whole world see Xiao Letian's face and see how Ryukyu is a rogue!"
"You are finished, absolutely finished. The great Tsarist Russia will punish you. We will raise an overwhelming army and wipe you completely from this world! You rogue infidels..."
"Enough!" Xiao Hexin yelled, "The farce should be over now! If you want an explanation, I will give you an explanation!"
"First of all, I should remind you that there is a basic legal principle in the public law of all countries that cannot be violated, that is, the whistleblower must prove himself. This is the source of all fairness and reasonableness!"
"When you come to accuse me of a certain crime, you should bring the evidence yourself to make the accusation, instead of forcing the defendant to prove his innocence. Everything you did first was a frame-up by a villain!"
"My lords, ministers, and senior officials in the hall! You can think about it carefully. If this world becomes a world of false accusations, then what justice will there be?"
"I said today that the UK massacred 100,000 indigenous people in Egypt. Please ask the UK to find evidence to prove its innocence immediately. If you can't find it, you just did it!"
"I can still accuse France today of massacring an important royal family in Annan! You go and find evidence to prove it yourself, otherwise you just did it!"
"And the United States, I am accusing you today of stealing the Queen's cooking pot... Well, you have to prove yourself that you have not stolen it, otherwise you have stolen it. If I say you have stolen it, you have stolen it!"
"Hahaha..." Everyone in the hall laughed wildly, and even Hua Ruohan laughed in anger.
"Haha... I think even if I stole Her Majesty the Queen's cooking pot, the Queen would not let me pay compensation, but what you said makes some sense. The complaint proves that this is indeed a basic legal principle, but that bullet Isn’t the shell evidence that the Russians accuse you?”
Hua Ruohan's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he seemed to have figured out Xiao Hexin's routine.
