Chapter 130 Yokosuka Treaty

——"Dear minister, why did you come to Ryukyu? It's been a very hard journey!"

As soon as Li Mo walked into the temporary command room of the Pacific Army set up in Naha Port, he saw two people sitting in the room, one of whom was Lecule, the British minister in Hawaii, and next to him was an officer in the uniform of the British navy.

"Oh, God! Mr. Duke, it's great to see you.

Seeing Li Mo, Leckel still took care of greetings and ran up with a hug. There is no way. Since the news that the Pacific Army and Japan started the war, his little envoy has been tossed to death by the domestic snowflakes-like telegram. In addition to scolding him for not discovering Master Li's intention to start the war in advance, he must immediately figure out what the Pacific Army is going to do in the Far East!

So after hearing that Li Mo personally led the army on the expedition, he rushed to Ryukyu overnight despite the fatigue of the boat. Fortunately, the British Empire also knew that his mouth alone could not play a deterrent role, so he sent an important person to assist him. Leckel pointed to the lieutenant general beside him and said, "Dear Li, let me introduce to you. This is the commander of the Far East Fleet of the British Empire, Lieutenant General Phillymant."

"Far East Fleet!" Li Mo twitched the corners of his mouth. The British really made a lot of effort. They actually pulled the Far East Fleet to threaten the young master. Shi shit is bearable, pee... Forget it, let's bear it for the time being. Now he is the world's boss.

Li Mo took Phillymant's hand and stared at it, pretending to be surprised: "Great, I have long admired the prestige of your Far East Fleet for a long time. I didn't expect to see the general today. It's really an honor!"

"General, can you sign for me?" Master Li took out a notepad and pen from behind his back like a trick, and handed it to Felix in front of him seriously.

The forehead of Philemant, who met for the first time, was sweating. Is this really the magical teenager who was swimming in the sea, defeating him, causing panic in his country, and possessing Oahu Island and Lovely Island, and has controlled Ryukyu?

Will he be a retard? Are you sure you saw the wrong person? Phillymant stared at Leckel with his eyes and said to his heart.

In the face of Philemant's eyes, Leckel was already full of black lines. He wanted to grab the notebook and fall on Li Mo's face, and then said fiercely, "Give me to withdraw your fleet!" Don't cause trouble for the British Empire!" However, after thinking about tens of thousands of pounds in the past few years, they still decided to put up with it. However, Master Li held his notebook and pen with a sincere face. He couldn't lose face. He could only smile bitterly and said, "General Felemant, Mr. Duke didn't lie. He did often mention you to me and admire you and the Far East Fleet you lead!"

Philemant had no choice but to take over the pen and sign his name a few times before standing up and said, "Philemant is also very happy to see you and your Pacific Fleet. With all due respect, this is the best fleet I have ever seen in the Far East except for the British Empire!"

"Is it?" After blinking his eyes and put away his pen and notepad, he made a gesture to sit down and said modestly, "It's a great honor for Li Mo to be praised by the general!"

Felimant was rude. After sitting down, he said bluntly, "No, I'm not polite. Although the fleet was not at its peak at that time, I had seen their training. It was a group of very difficult guys to deal with. The most important thing is that your navy has been trained in actual combat through this war. Once these valuable gold-like experiences are fully absorbed, I believe they can be comparable to our Far East Fleet!"

Looking at the aristocratic gentleman, unlike the military commander of the British Far East Fleet, Master Li was full of unhappiness. Although this guy looks polite, why doesn't he know how to decorate his words?! What does it mean that the fleet is not at its peak? Why don't you just say that the young master's sneak attack? What else do you say is comparable to the Far East Fleet? How good it is to simply say that the young master has become your number one enemy?

Did you want to wear a big hat for the young master? The young master doesn't eat this!

Master Li despised him and didn't know whether the commander of the Far East Fleet of the British Empire understood what he meant in his eyes. He slapped his horse and said, "General, I'm flattered. In fact, all this is also thanks to the warships built by your country. If it hadn't been for these perfect big guys, I wouldn't have been possible for sitting here now. You chatted."

At this time, people all over the world knew that Chile's military expansion plan a few years ago was actually building a warship for Master Li, so at this moment, he said it cheerfully, and Lecle and Philemant were not surprised.

Young Master Li is polite. Phillymant thinks it's normal. Without these warships of the British Empire, it's a joke that the name of the fleet is loud! So he nodded frankly and proudly and agreed, "The imperial warships have always been the best!"

"That's it, that's it." Li Mo laughed, and his heart had long despised this arrogant guy! It has always been the best! When the young master gets the dreadnought first, you can cry.

Leckel listened to Philemant being seduced by Master Li and talking about some warships, cannons and so on, and his heart was furry! Thinking of the mission given to him by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he quickly interrupted the two: "Dear Li, I don't know why you are so angry and attack the Japanese fleet this time?"

As soon as he talked about this, Master Li jumped on the chair angrily and scolded: "I'm too shameless! It was the war they provoked first. I just sent a warship to the Yellow Sea to watch the battle. I wanted to learn from the experience, and I specially ordered the neutral flag to be hung! But when I returned, I was suddenly intercepted by their artillery. If my captain hadn't been clever and ran a little faster, I'm afraid I would have lost a warship and hundreds of loyal soldiers!"

Finally, Master Li's tone suddenly changed, pretending to be heartbroken and lamenting, "Dear Your Highness, General Felitman, I believe you have also seen the bodies and wounded soldiers I ordered to send back. That is, the evidence that I secretly attacked my Pacific Fleet. Fortunately, my fleet is nearby. The exercise finally protected them back to Hawaii.

Leckel's lips squirmed twice. That day, he did see dozens of corpses and wounded soldiers returning to Pearl Harbor with the transport ship, and he also saw the mottled trauma on the torpedo ship shown to them by the Pacific Fleet at the dock before, but with such a small injury, you, Master Li, would not have been so angry. Destroy the whole fleet, right?! What's more, according to the two Japanese sailors, you first provoked a dispute and ambushed the fleet!

Master Li didn't care about this. Anyway, the main fleet was completely destroyed, and those soldiers who saw the specific situation with their own eyes also fed the sharks! The words of the two low-ranking sailors said that I could not take the table, so I simply continued to scold: "After the attack, I immediately contacted our country's minister in Japan to ask for compensation. Do you think it's wrong to do so? But what did I wait for! The old man of Meiji actually ordered the expulsion of our minister! He also forced them to leave the country immediately!"

"That old man in Meiji?!"

Leckel's eyes twitched straight. That's right! But as soon as you open your mouth, it's 100 million pounds! It's strange that I can accept it! Although he couldn't wait to immediately throw this shameless sneak attack into the Pacific Ocean, which was full of words that he was the victim, Lekkel decided to find out why the Pacific Army came to the Far East first.

Next to

, Felixman was not surprised by asking for compensation. After all, the imperial fleet often did this matter. According to Master Li, he won the war these days. In addition to robbing money and women, he didn't come to the door to pay compensation. He was embarrassed to say hello to people when he went out!

It's just a hundred million pounds! Isn't it too scary? According to the previous understanding, the annual income of the Japanese political axe is only 50 million yuan, which is about 5 million pounds, so even if the Japanese royal family is labeled, it can't be sold at this price!

"A sky-high price, bargaining on the ground! This is business! They can bargain! Why not bargain, why! Can this be a reason to expel our minister? Master Li stalked his neck and didn't care about the red necks of Lecle and Felicman.

Looking at the guy with foam in his mouth, Leckel suddenly had an impulse to slap him hard. You sneaked on the fleet, but also bombarded more than a dozen seaport cities, big and small, robbed more than 40 cargo ships, emptied other people's arms warehouses, and extorted 100 million pounds from others at this moment, such a large number. If the British Empire's battleships were sunk, they wouldn't dare to say such a large amount! Besides, you have 100 million, how can you bargain with others?

Li Mo didn't know that Laker's small universe was on the verge of an outbreak, and continued to roar: "I expelled our diplomats and killed my soldiers, causing serious damage to my [***] ship! Is there anything wrong with claiming compensation? Speaking of this, Master Li suddenly showed eight white teeth and hummed, "Since they don't want to give it, I'll take it myself!" To tell you two, I have ordered the fleet to continue to attack Kyushu, Shikoku and Hokkaido!"

Attack Kyushu, Shikoku and Hokkaido!

Lecle and Felimante, who got the news, were not polite. Although they had not received the official letter that asked them to mediate, if the madman really ordered the capture of these three places, he would be greatly weakened, and this Master Li would become the biggest force in the Pacific Ocean! So the main question now is not whether it should be compensated, but once this guy takes any of the three places, he can just say that he will not leave in the Far East!

This is not in the interest of the British Empire!

Filitman looked at Leckel and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, please calm down. Our British Empire is also very sorry for the sneak attack on your warship, but I think you two can sit down and have a good talk. There is no need to let the soldiers bleed again!"

"Yes! Your Excellency, please believe us. Regarding the issue of Japanese compensation, although it is a little more than 100 million pounds, I think I should compensate you for your loss. After a pause, Leckel leaned forward and suddenly asked, "What we Britain want to know most now is that if we get compensation, will you leave Ryukyu after the armistice?"

Sure enough, the play is coming!

Master Li sip his lips, picked up the teacup and took a sip. He knew that the other party was testing and saw whether he was ready to rely on the Far East. Fortunately, he had been prepared for this aspect. He narrowed his eyes and took out a wrinkled power of attorney from his pocket and handed it to Leckel and said, "In fact, there is another thing that I came to Ryukyu this time. My best friend Shang Tai, the king of Ryukyu, was imprisoned by himself. This time, he was authorized by him to welcome him to return to China to rebuild the kingdom. "!"

"The power of attorney of the Ryukyu King?!"

Leckel's hand on his forehead can't laugh or cry. Last time it was the queen's, but now it's the king's. How can this guy get so many power of attorney?

There is no difference between crying and laughing with Leckel. Felixman looked at Li Mo in surprise, as if he had seen an prehistoric monster! It has not been a secret that the Ryukyu King was imprisoned by Japan for a long time, and it was many years ago, right? Are you friends with a king who is waiting to die? Is this a fairy tale written by Mr. Andersen in Denmark?

"Well, it's wrong. It's my father's friend. My old housekeeper can testify!" Master Li held the teacup. Thinking about it, he felt that the age gap was a little big, and he changed his tone seriously.

"Your father? The old housekeeper proves it!" Leckel felt that he was about to vomit blood. I'm afraid your father can't even find the bones, right? Prove it with a close-fitting housekeeper! This is so shameless!

Fortunately, Lecker finally held back the sulk. He also knew that it was not the time to quarrel. The two immediately spread out the wrinkled power of attorney, looked at the scarlet seal on it, and immediately looked at each other. Is this thing true or false?

"Bah! Of course it's fake. Master Li is not ashamed of this kind of counterfeiting behavior, but proud of it! Besides, is it important whether this power of attorney is true or false? What the British want is to withdraw their troops immediately!

"Your lords, to be honest, as long as I can take back the Ryukyu king and restore the rule of the kingdom, the Pacific Army will return to Hawaii immediately." Master Li expressed his sincere attitude, but he had been happy for a long time. He thought to himself, "Of course, if the king of Ryukyu is not kind and makes me a prince, the young master should also do his duty."

Lekel naturally knew that Master Li would not be willing to withdraw from the Far East so easily, but it was useless to say this at this moment. He could only take the Ryukyu King back first to see if he would really fulfill his promise! Felicman was also slightly stunned. Whether this proof is true or not is actually not important to him and Britain. What he needs to do is to restrict the Pacific Army from entering the Far East!

As for Master Li, he has planned to stay here for a long time. Besides, when the Ryukyu King comes back and is appointed as the young master, then I should do my duty as the prince, right?

For a moment, all three of them fell into silence, but they forgot that the Ryukyu King was still in his hands. For Japan, it was not a problem to put back a depressed king in exchange for a truce with the Pacific Army, but at the same time, losing the painstaking Ryukyu Islands is almost equivalent to ceding the land!

Without thinking of a way to let the Pacific Army withdraw immediately, Lecquer could only take the lead in considering Li Mo's previous promise and immediately said, "Dear Duke, I already know your conditions. I think I know how to mediate the misunderstanding between you and Japan. "!"

"Look at them. There is so much knowledge. It's a misunderstanding to annihire their fleet!" After admiring a few words in his heart, Li Mo deliberately pretended to be surprised and asked, "Your Excellency? Your Excellency, did I also ask the Empire to mediate? Why haven't I received an official letter yet?

"Uh..." Lecker didn't expect that Master Li would ask such a question. He was choked and speechless. Although the ambassador in Japan had gone to meet the emperor, he had not received the official official letter yet. Now he had no reason to interfere in the battle. However, thinking of the consequences of Japan's weakening, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I said It has been promised that the Imperial Far East Fleet will be responsible for mediating the conflict.

"Fuck you! Unexpectedly, they even used the Far East Fleet to bully the young master!" Li Mo put his right hand behind him, raised a contemptuous middle finger, pretended to be relieved, and said, "Great, since the British Empire is willing to make the decision for me, what the hell do I have to do!" It's better than the Americans interfering!"

"Oh? Are the Americans here, too? Fillemant frowned. He didn't expect the Americans to move so fast. For him, if the Americans take this opportunity to enter the Far East, the threat will be far greater than that of the small Pacific Fleet!

Li Mo pretended to be surprised: "Huh? Don't you two know yet? Two American cruisers were stationed in Tokyo Bay three days ago. I also officially authorized them to mediate. Didn't I talk to you two? After saying that, he deliberately pointed to the next door: "Their representative is next door. I was going to see them just now, but after hearing that the minister came, I came to see you first. Why don't we go to meet the American representative later?"

Of course, Leckel can't go to see the Americans at this time. In case he is exposed and comes forward before he gets the mediation letter, he is laughed at, so he quickly waved his hand: "Of course, of course we know, but I think you'd better meet them first and listen to their opinions!" lai ke er hurriedly hit ahaha, but he scolded me half to death in his heart. These damn dwarfs actually contacted the Americans first!

At this time, Du Dazhuang suddenly came from the door and shouted, "Young master, the Americans said that if you don't see them again, they will rush over by themselves!"

Bang!

Li Mo patted the table fiercely and scolded, "What should I do? Didn't you say that I was meeting distinguished guests of the British Empire? Let them wait!" Du Dazhuang curled his lips aggrievedly: "Young master, I said it, but General George Dewey said, said..."

"What are you talking about!" Li Mo said angrily.

"He said they arrived before the British, so you should meet them first! And it is also said that the Far East Fleet is a fleet, and his Pacific Squadron is also a fleet! It should be treated equally!"

"Damn American! A small Pacific squadron dares to be on an equal footing with the Far East Fleet!" Phillymant pinched the teacup in his hand fiercely, but did not find Master Li's thumbs up to Du Dazhuang under his trousers--

After the last Cuban incident, the large-scale shipbuilding plan suddenly announced by the Americans was obviously aimed at Britain. The two countries are already slandry at this moment, and it's good not to scold them directly.

So the small provocation deliberately taken by Master Li was still effective. Whether it was Lecle or Felitman, he did not go to see the Americans, but immediately took a warship to Japan after talking. As for Master Li, it was impossible to meet George Dewey and Roosevelt, a mediated by the United States, so he asked Li Enfu to receive him first.

On October 10, 1894, on the 23rd day of declaring war with Honolulu, after suffering heavy losses from the destruction of more than a dozen ports and the sinking of the main warships, in order to save the last naval personnel, it was necessary to ask the Americans and the subsequent British to intervene in mediation.

After Master Li opened his mouth and appointed Li Enfu as the head of the negotiating delegation, he put forward the prerequisite for the negotiations, that is, the British Far East Fleet and the U.S. Pacific Squadron must temporarily take over Yokosuka Port to ensure the absolute safety of the delegation.

This condition is that I naturally have nothing to say. The most active thing is the United States. On the same day, two cruisers docked in Tokyo were sent to take over Yokosuka Port, which made Felixman, the commander of the British Far East Fleet, very dissatisfied! You should know that this is a traditional British sphere of influence, but now it has been interrupted by the Americans!

After the third day, Li Enfu arrived at Yokosuka Port with dozens of members of the delegation.

The negotiations have reached an impasse from the beginning, because Master Li's appetite was too big. At the first meeting, the Japanese delegation and the British and American representatives in charge of mediation were shocked under the table.

Release the king of Ryukyu and recognize the integrity of the sovereignty of Ryukyu, cede any of the three islands of Kyushu, Shikoku and Hokkaido, and open Yokohama as a trading port of the Kingdom of Hawaii to compensate the Pacific Army for a pension of 100 million pounds!

The first condition is negotiable. Anyway, the whole territory of Ryukyu has been occupied at this moment, and there is no way to take it back. As for the latter ones, it is purely intentional to make things difficult!

Kyushu and Shikoku Island are self-evident about the important surnames of Japan, not to mention Hokkaido, which accounts for one-fifth of Japan! If you lose any of the three islands, it's better to just raise your hand and surrender directly and let Master Li come to be the governor!

As for the opening of Yokohama Tongshang Port, it is even more unacceptable! You should know that Yokohama is in the Gulf of Tokyo, next to the base camp in Tokyo. Once the Pacific Army intervenes in the heart area, it will never be peaceful! As for compensation, not to mention 100 million pounds, I can't even pay 10 million at this moment. In order to prepare for the war against North Korea, the last copper coin had been spent a long time ago.

In the face of such three unreasonable requirements, not to mention the original, even the United Kingdom and the United States can't accept it.

Therefore, the Japanese delegation, led by Mutsu Zongguang and Ito Hirofumi, quickly agreed to the first condition when the Pacific Fleet had actually controlled Ryukyu, but directly refused to cede land and compensation! The negotiations began to adjourn ten minutes later and broke up unhappily.

However, Li Mo, who has been called the young master of Hawaii by the British and American powers, nicknamed the Far East arsonist, had the most direct reaction was to immediately order the fleet to attack Kagoshima. After a day and a night of shelling, Kagoshima, which was already in a mess, welcomed the Pacific Marine Corps for the first time.

I didn't wait for Master Li to be addicted to the governor of Kagoshima. When he learned the news, he was shocked. When the only navy could not break the naval blockade of the Pacific Fleet at all and could not send troops to support, he could only beg Britain and the United States to intervene. Leckel knew that this was Master Li's negotiation method and would not really occupy Kagoshima at all, so he said that he would not intervene in the war until the two sides succeeded in the negotiations.

Although George Dewey and Roosevelt wanted to take this opportunity to attack the arrogant Pacific Fleet, they had to declare that the United States would not directly intervene in the war when the British chose to be neutral.

Leckel knew that Master Li was playing with the tricks of doing business, so he sent a note to the delegation again and began to bargain for a penny.

The panicked delegation had to return to the negotiating table. Facing Li Enfu, who was sitting leisurely opposite, and facing the Pacific Marine Corps on Kyushu Island, which had forcibly taken over Kagoshima, he could only grit his teeth and start the arduous bargaining process.

It's definitely not possible to cut the ground!

Under the circumstances that the Japanese government axe was unwilling to cede the land, and the United Kingdom and the United States did not support it, Master Li was kind and decisively gave up the three major islands of Japan. Unexpectedly, he chose to buy the two major islands off the south of Japan, namely the Izu Islands and the Ogasawara Islands.

The Izu Islands are located overseas of Japan's Tokyo Bay. The nearest island is only a few hundred kilometers from the main island, which is regarded as a natural barrier to guard the gateway of Japan's Tokyo! Such a strategic place, if it is obtained by the Pacific Army, it is like a dagger in Japan's chest! Although the Ogasawara Islands are far away, they are the largest fishing ground in Japan, a heavy whaling place! It is also a symbol of Japan's move towards the Pacific Ocean!

So I refused again!

Now Master Li is very popular, and the final showdown! Let Li Enfu throw a check of $10,000 on the negotiating table and buy the Ogasawara Islands in his private name. He also said that he has made great concessions. If even the small islands refuse in the end, the negotiations will be terminated immediately, and the Pacific Army will directly take over the islands!

Everyone didn't expect that Master Li's desire for the island was so strong. Even within the Pacific Army, there were many people who didn't understand what the young master wanted the nose-sized archipelago to do, and even paid for it privately.

In the words of Long Guozhang, as long as a destroyer can occupy the Ogasawara Islands, so this money is spent unjustly! Only Chen Ping and Li Enfu vaguely guessed Li Mo's idea.

It seems that from Kyushu Island to the Izu Islands, and then to the Ogasawara Islands, which are far south of Tokyo, Master Li seems to have to make concessions under the threat of Britain, the United States and other countries. But in fact, his goal has always been on the Ogasawara Islands!

The Ogasawara Islands are located in the sea of Japan, more than 1,000 nautical miles south of Tokyo and far from the mainland of Japan. There are more than 30 large and small islands in the mother island, the mother island and Iwo Jima, with a total area of more than 70 square kilometers. In terms of area and resources, except for the very excellent Erjian Port on the father's island, which can be used as a material transit, only sulfur mines and surrounding fishery resources are left, which can only be regarded as chicken ribs.

But geographically, it is the key point to connect the Marinaya Islands and curb the entry and exit of the Pacific Ocean from the Far East!

Since Guam has been secretly controlled in the hands of Master Li, according to Master Li's experience of arranging the second island chain in the United States, once Luzon, Guam, Saipan, Ogasawara Islands and Hawaii are connected, plus Ryukyu and Taiwan, which is ready to start, a brilliant item The chain will appear in the vast sea from the Philippine Sea to the Far East!

This necklace not only encircles the extremely important Philippine Sea, but also extends to the deeper southwest Pacific Ocean based on this island chain in the future!

There is no reason to give up such a strategic hub in the era of relying entirely on maritime transportation! As for the use of private purchase, one can avoid the sovereignty dispute with the Kingdom of Hawaii. After all, Master Li has not yet pulled the banner of the curtain tree. Second, it can allow Britain, the United States and other powers to recognize that the islands belong to Li Mo's private ownership and hold the sovereignty of the islands!

Lecker is extremely satisfied with Master Li's concessions. For Japan, in the case of losing the right to control the sea and the Pacific Army controlling the sea, in fact, it has lost the ability to continue to defend the Ogasawara Islands. It is very polite for the other party to propose a purchase, but the amount of this check is really insulting!

The only thing that is unhappy is the United States, because once the Ogasawara Islands are controlled by Master Li, the Midway Island currently controlled by the United States will become an isolated island surrounded by the Pacific Army!

After repeated weighing, the original ax finally agreed to sell the Ogasawara Islands to Master Li at a low price of 10,000 US dollars. On the day he received the check, under the call of Li Enfu, under the supervision of the British, American and later French and Italian representatives, they signed a sales agreement. At the same time, countries also recognized the Ogasawara Islands. It is Li Mo's private island with sovereignty.

Master Li's step by step in cutting the ground allowed Britain, the United States and other countries to ensure that the final bottom line of the Far East balance was not broken, but without waiting for them to breathe a sigh of relief, the huge gap in the amount of compensation almost made the two sides tear their faces apart!

100 million pounds of compensation, not to mention myself, even the most powerful British political axe of the year is full of sweat! You should know that the annual income of the British Empire is only about 300 million pounds, and it is impossible for me to spend so much money! Therefore, it is said that Benzheng Axe only promised to pay 5 million US dollars, and it needs to be paid in three years! This proposal is supported by the United States!

Li Enfu is not ambiguous. Although he did not insist on the scary 100 million pounds, he kept the bottom line of 50 million yuan and even did not hesitate to withdraw from the negotiation! In view of the huge difference between the two sides, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries immediately held small-scale consultations, and Li Enfu actively suggested to them that the United Kingdom and the United States could guarantee that the Hawaii Political Axe provided a 15-year loan to let him pay the compensation.

For this shameless practice of borrowing money and reparations for everyone, British and American representatives raised their middle fingers one after another. Even Zhao Long and others, who were far away in Ryukyu to reorganize the army, blushed at the proposal of Lord Yuanzheng!

British and American guarantees, Hawaii loans. This is equivalent to lending money to neighbors during the day and stealing them back at night. The next day, they began to force the debt to count, and even get back almost tens of millions of interest. This is a calculation! It's no worse than the young master!

Of course, I won't agree. Finally, I met with Master Li, who had nothing to do in Ryukyu in Lecle. Considering that I couldn't pay so much money, under the "largeness" of Master Li, he promised to cut some more!

After a month-long negotiation tug-of-war, the "Yokosuka Treaty" finally came out!

This is a treaty that makes all Japanese people cry. Because according to the provisions of the treaty, Japan has not only lost the Ogasawara Islands, but also the entire Ryukyu Islands, including the Dadong Islands. It can be said that the colonial road that Japan has just started has returned more than a decade ago! What's more heartbreaking is that Japan had to pay 30 million pounds of war compensation to Honolulu, Hawaii at the same time.

30 million!

This is a figure equal to the Japanese population. It is Li Mo's 450 million taels in memory of the same head statistics in his heart, which made all the descendants of Yan and Huang sad! It's a humiliating treaty with two pieces of silver!

However, Master Li's regret is that he was originally going to let me pay in 15 years, so that he could at least reap tens of millions of pounds of interest. Unfortunately, after getting the American loan guarantee, I decisively chose to pay once.

Master Li slit his mouth. Of course, he didn't agree. Finally, after Li Enfu secretly stuffed 100,000 dollars to Leckel and Fellitman, Britain proposed to use the military factory and all the shipbuilding machinery built by Japan over the years to offset Master Li's interest loss!

Compared with the interest of tens of millions, these things add up to no more than three million. Considering that he really had no money, Master Li could only "reluctly" agree in the end. But in fact, he was very happy, because he began to expand the Yokosuka shipbuilding base as early as before the war and ordered a large number of advanced shipbuilding machinery. Now he has to be dismantled under the supervision of the United States and the United Kingdom, loaded on the ship of Pacific Freight Company and shipped to Ryukyu.

This is equivalent to giving Master Li a large shipyard of 100,000 tons and a military base for nothing! And they can be used immediately, which greatly reduces the cost of new construction! But for Japan, together with the two major shipbuilding bases of Wugang and Sasebo that have been destroyed, the newly emerging shipbuilding industry has directly regressed for ten years!

Use shipyards and military factories to compensate for interest, and even the United States, which favors Japan, is not difficult. Although Roosevelt couldn't wait for Ben and Master Li to kill you, he also made a small calculation in this regard! If you want to take revenge, you have to rely more on the United States if you want to take revenge. This is another large amount of money for domestic arms dealers. Why not?

As for the North Korean issue that I took the initiative to raise in the end, Li Mo gave up the topic as everyone expected, and said that the Pacific Army had no intention of North Korea, and would not restrict the entry and exit of the Japanese army to North Korea. He even said that if the Japanese army needed it, the Pacific Army could also provide maritime escort!

But only in North Korea!

This statement not only made me overjoyed, but also Li Enfu and Chen Ping did not understand. At first, they thought that they could blackmail me to abandon North Korea and be stationed by the Pacific Army!

And the United Kingdom welcomes this statement very much! They also don't want Japan to be too weakened. At present, our army has basically controlled the whole territory of North Korea. In this way, in a few years, I can rise again in the Far East and check and balance the growing Pacific Army! Therefore, after learning of Li Mo's decision, he not only asked Japan to speed up the demolition of shipbuilding equipment and deliver it to the Pacific Army, but also took the initiative to contact Japan, saying that he could undertake the smooth sea route between Japan and North Korea.

It is said that I don't have a navy now, and it is impossible for me to really hand over the army to be escorted by the Pacific Army. After the final balance, I finally agreed to the British conditions. The British freight company will undertake the routes between Japan and North Korea, as a behind-the-scenes indulgence, and in order to curb several greedy Russians on the land. In the end, Britain and the United States jointly reported the Qingzheng axe at the same time, demanding the immediate end of the war between the Qing Dynasty!

Finally, the "Yokosuka Treaty" also stipulates that all nearly 200,000 people in the Ryukyu Islands must be withdrawn to the mainland within a month, but due to the lack of large ships and the actual control of the Pacific Fleet, it had to be handed over to Hawaii Pacific Freight at a high price of five pounds per person. The company is responsible for transportation.

Compared with the crying of the local people, the people in the Ryukyu Islands were even more miserable. Under the strict order of the emperor, they had to give up everything they had fought here for ten years and boarded the cargo ship that sent them back to Kyushu Island with their families.

When I was expelled at the same time for more than 1,000 days in the Ogasawara Islands, in Hawaii, because of the war between the two countries, only 50,000 days left, I was also expelled. For a time, on the two routes from Hawaii to Japan and Ryukyu to Japan, almost even the sound of crying could be heard at night!

When more than 30 cargo ships captured by the Pacific Army and the cost of money fell into Lin Yongxiang's Pacific Freight Company, this guy immediately excitedly ordered eight new ocean-going 10,000-ton cargo ships at a time in Italy and the United Kingdom!

Li Mo did not object to this point. He has been very clear in public and private. Even if the army wants to borrow the ship of the Pacific Freight Company, it will have to pay at the lowest price. However, Li Mo hinted that he would take care of the upcoming Guam and Huang Zichen in Keelung, Taiwan, and will also build a good shipyard to exercise. Workers, so this guy hurriedly sent orders for two medium-sized cargo ships to the two companies at the same time, and handed over the modification task of the Japanese freighter.

On December 8, 1894, after getting the final Yokosuka Treaty, Master Li generously recalled all the ships along the coast of Japan and withdrew the Marines that had set foot on Kyushu Island.

At the same time, Emperor Meiji issued an announcement recognizing that the Ryukyu Kingdom has the sovereignty of the entire Ryukyu Islands, including the Osumi Islands, the Amami Islands, the Ryukyu Oshima Islands and the Sejima Islands, recognizing the Ogasawara Islands as Li Mo's private islands and sovereignty. At the same time, he released Shang Taiyi, the king of Ryukyu, who had been under house arrest for more than ten years. Home.

With the return of the King of Thailand to Ryukyu two days later, the Ryukyu people who lived under the muzzle of the Pacific Army for more than two months held a grand welcome ceremony with the acquiescence of the Pacific Army. The war, which lasted for nearly two months, ended with a complete victory of the Pacific Army.

Five days later, the king of Thailand, who thought he was going to die in a foreign land, but finally turned back to Shouli City, burst into tears. He immediately ordered Li Mo as the Protector of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and gave him 200 square kilometers of land including Naha as a fief. According to the hint of Master Li, Chongdadong Island was also given to Li. Young master, hereditary replacement!

At the same time, in the name of a Japanese spy, he dismissed several concubines who had accompanied him for several years, married several beautiful girls who had been secretly deleted by Duan Fei as concubines, and also announced that he would imitate Hawaii and hand over all the king's internal affairs and diplomacy to the prince of the country.

Not only that, he also agreed that the Pacific Army could permanently use any land in the Ryukyu Islands for free, and at the suggestion of the new Prince Protectorate, he announced the abolition of all Japanese names of the Ryukyu Islands, restore the previous title, and at the same time, the two largest islands, the Japanese population. Among them, Amami Island and Okinawa Island were renamed Aimi Island and Ryukyu Island.

Bah! In later generations, the devils and slaves will get rid of Chineseization, and the young master will get rid of Japaneseization first!

"As for the Ogasawara Islands, should it be called a small island? Or the Moon Island? Or the daughter-in-law island who is still in Ryukyu, waiting for her to meet? Sitting on the rattan chair and looking at the rippling bay, Master Li's sad face...
