The representatives of the two parties in the negotiation are: Li Hongzhang, Special Representative of the Chinese Empire, Tang Shaoyi, Dean and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Academy of Sciences, Neon Special Representative Ito Hirobumi, and Foreign Minister Matsumoto.

And the invited Geely Ambassador to Qing Ogner, the Willing State Ambassador to Qing Bolan.

After Ogner said some easy opening remarks, the two parties began the formal talks.

"This time the war was originally just a misunderstanding, and our Neon was not just to protect our bridge people from wanton slaughter."

"Now I have fully realized my mistakes in Neon... I hope that the Qing Empire will end this war quickly based on our many years of friendship and the invitations that have the same cultural heritage."

The first thing Ito Hirobumi threw out was that a set of combo punches was to avoid the heavyweights and then play the emotional card.

Although the two sides are feuds, they have no feelings at all, but speaking out of his mouth is almost like a brother.

"Mr. Ito Hirobumi, shouldn't it be possible to send a diplomatic note to protect the overseas Chinese? Even if you want to protect, you don't need a hundred and fifty thousand army."

"Besides, your army burns, kills, loots and does no evil, and it has occupied the whole area of ​​Bangzi. If you are like this, we don't mind going to Neon to protect our bridge people."

"This war was completely caused by Neon's aggressive behavior, and you bear full responsibility."

Naturally, Li Hongzhang would not be fooled, and he would automatically ignore irrelevant words.

After so many years of development in China, there are so many places where money is spent. Under various infrastructure constructions, even if the fiscal deficit continues to grow year after year, the money from the house will not last long.

In fact, Wang Guangxu started to evacuate overseas Chinese from Neon a long time ago. Now there are not many overseas Chinese in Neon. Those who are really unwilling to come back will let them. Neon’s meat is cut off.

"We occupied the southern country because of their punishment for the massacre. We are not wrong."

Ito Hirobumi did not speak, Matsuda had already interrupted.

"Haha! Mr. Matsuda, if Neon feels that aggression is not wrong, can you completely maintain your correct concept? There is no need to seek peace. The war can continue."

Li Hongzhang said lightly, he greatly despised a handful of Ito Bowen's pig teammates.

Now he has food at home and doesn't panic.On the contrary, the Qing Dynasty was very interested in the continuation of the war. Anyway, it was necessary to negotiate at the end, and the strength of the Neon Man would lose a little more if it dragged on for a day.

Matsuda's expression became stiff when he heard Li Hongzhang's words. Everyone knew that it was right to agree to aggression. Of course it was wrong to lose. If Neon wins, he still needs to come over to talk, but this kind of talk cannot be said on the table.

"Li Daren, what demonic conditions do you need to stop this war, why not speak out!"

"Of course, if the conditions exceed the limit we can bear, I am afraid the empire can only fight to the end."

Ito Bowen didn't want to go around at this time either. He and Li Hongzhang's two old fried dough sticks would go around and I'm afraid they would still talk about something trivial tomorrow, simply straightforward.Miao Bi Ge Novel www.imiaobige.com

He felt a little weak in the last sentence.

"We are also peace-loving. If Neon can beat our conditions, the war can naturally stop."

Li Hongzhang smiled upon hearing Ito's words.

Those conditions weren't fixed by other people, the towering came from Wang Guangxu's hands, and he was taken aback when he just got the thing.

"Na Lime will put forward your terms!"

Ito Bowen relaxed a little, he could expect the version of the Great Qing Lion with a big mouth.

Under Li Hongzhang's signal, Tang Shaoyi taught the two people the drafted terms.

As a result, Ito Bowen turned on the file Tang Shaoyi handed over with a panic, and his complexion changed drastically after just a few glances.

This one says on it.

"First, Neon has to admit its behavior in aggressive wars, and apologize to the Qing empire and the vassals of the Qing empire."

"Second, Neon gave up its actual control of the Ryukyu Islands, which are the inherent territory of the Qing Empire, and they need to be returned to the Qing Empire."

"Third, Neon needs to pay for the Qing Empire's military expenses and compensate the Qing Empire. A total of 200 million taels of silver should be paid off in 49 years, with an interest of 6% per year."

"Fourth, in order to maintain peace in the Far East in the future, the size of the neon navy must be controlled within 50,000 tons and can only have an army of 100,000!"

"Fifth, Neon promises that no war will be launched against the Qing Empire and its vassals in the future."

Except for Articles 1 and 5, which are empty words, the other three are extremely harsh.

Hirobumi Ito looked at these conditions incredibly with his mouth wide open. He couldn't believe that Daqing would propose such conditions.

Regarding the difficulties of this negotiation, he even thought of putting Neon as a defeated country to slaughter.But seeing these conditions was unexpected.

The second one was okay, but it was also too much. They suddenly removed the strategic springboard of Neon to go south, making it difficult for them to threaten Yingzhou.

As for the third item, he even felt that the other party made a mistake and added an extra zero. No, it was two zeros.

You must know how the current war compensation is so high. The previous Neon withdrawal from Yingzhou only required a compensation of 500,000 taels of silver.

In the Opium War, Gili Gaul had to pay only a few million taels in compensation.

It is a full 200 million taels of silver, and it is written that it needs to be paid off in 49 years, plus the interest is almost 800 million taels of silver.This is equivalent to the comprehensive fiscal revenue of Neon for more than ten years. It is inconceivable how people came up with such data.Are they crazy?

There is also control over the size of the army, which can only maintain a navy of 50,000 tons and an army of 100,000. What about the remaining army?Disband?If he agrees to this, once he returns to the country without waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to summon him, he has already gone to see Amaterasu, and those war madmen will never let him go... ..
