Chapter 271 Karate, Japan plays the best?

As soon as the ship stopped, Haijing couldn't wait to jump off the deck and walk to a three-story foreign-style house in the depths under the reception of the greeters.

The Lushun port behind him has shown the momentum of a military port, but because the current capital ships of the Pacific Fleet are fighting outside, there is only one torpedo ship and a few speedboats left in the military port. But even so, this military port still makes no one want to seize it, even if it is stationed in Yantai Port across the Strait. The British can only look at the Bohai Sea and sigh.

When the naval battle in Microxia returned to the port of San Diego with the American [***] ship, the whole world was detonated. Under the circumstance that the paper strength was not dominant, the Pacific Fleet was born with four ships, which made the navies and warship designers of all countries look at and think deeply. The new cruiser blew up Japan's return fleet and ate up five of the other side's capital ships in one fell swoop in the interception battle.

And then in the second interception battle off the coast of the Izu Peninsula, when there were only four main ships, they were spliced together with many attacks, causing the five main ships that escaped to be hit hard again, and they also boarded a first-class large armored cruiser from Japan.

Two naval battles have completely established that man's position in this ocean. From the distant southwest Pacific Ocean, to Micronia in the depths of the ocean, to Hawaii, after a big circle and then back to Ryukyu, half of the Pacific Ocean has been taken into the arms of the young man who is still mysterious. It is said to be less than 20 years old. Medium.

He has not yet been founded, and he is still in the name of the Duke of Hawaii and the Prince of Ryukyu, but in fact, as written on the big sign at the door of the foreign-style house in front of him, a new country has risen from the land of the Far East.

Hai Jing stopped and squinted at the words "Xinhua State Council" as if thinking.

As the German ambassador to China, he knows that his most important task is not to coordinate Germany's relations here, nor to help German businessmen gain benefits, but to help His Majesty the Emperor of Prussia to gain a foothold in the Far East, so that the new Germany will no longer be a bystander on this table.

Compared with struggling Germany, Haijing is even a little jealous of Li Mo, because the Xinhua State Council, which has not yet been recognized by the world, took advantage of Chile to quietly stand on Britain's shoulders, and took the lead in entering the colonial era with the warships and cannons that Britain has now regretted selling, Luzon, Micronesia, even..., Japan!

Perhaps the power behind today's foreign-style house, whether industrial or economic, is not comparable to the powerful Germany, but everyone knows how much reward the land of Luzon alone will bring them.

Invisibly, Germany seems to be lagging behind again. Haijing and even the whole of Germany are jealous of why Li Mo is in the Far East, instead of being in the complex strength. He is blocked by France on the mainland and must chase the British at sea.

Haijing withdrew his eyes. He couldn't remember how many times he had come to Lushun from Tianjin. After the Battle of Microssinia, the whole Germany was waiting for the final end, because it involved Germany's next strategy in the Far East.

In the foreign-style house, a few familiar faces came out. Hai Jing nodded and greeted them. Just as he was about to walk inside, his eyes suddenly froze.

Spanish Ambassador to China?

How could he come here!

In the sharp eyes, the Spanish ambassador to China came out affectionately with Tang Shaoyi, who was in charge of diplomacy in this foreign-style house, and he also talked and laughed, just like an old friend for many years.

The diplomat's keen intuition immediately made him smell the strangeness in it. You know, Spain and Honolulu are in a state of declaration of war. How can they talk and laugh side by side?

He is not a rookie who doesn't know anything. He has been in China for many years that he knows that these Chinese people have a habit, that is, to avoid suspicion. As a figure who is destined to become a new policy axe to hold an important position of external language, how can he not understand this?

Or?

Hai Jing's heart trembled suddenly, and then confirmed her judgment very affirmatively. Spain and Li Mo are in a gully! And some kind of agreement was reached, or the old Spain gave up the rich land of Luzon at all!

When he changed his mind, Tang Shaoyi had already seen the German ambassador to China. He quickly said goodbye to the Spanish ambassador and ordered someone to treat him well. Your Excellency, Mr. Tang has been waiting for you for a long time.

"Lord Tang, in the words of you Chinese, Haijing has nothing to do in the Three Treasures Hall, and I'm going to trouble you again." Hai Jing smiled and walked quickly to Tang Shaoyi, and the two big hands quickly clasped together.

After releasing his hand, Hai Jing turned his head and looked at the back of the distant Spanish ambassador to China and said tentatively, "Lord Tang, are you and the Spanish ambassador good friends?"

Tang Shaoyi was exquisite on all sides. She didn't know Hai Jing's thoughts and said with a smile, "Yes, I and everyone who came to China and brought friendship and help are friends."

"Oh? What if it's the Japanese ambassador? Hai Jing narrowed his eyes.

"Haha..." Tang Shaoyi smiled and said, "Your Excellency, the ambassador is really funny, but if I am willing to see me at this time, I will also make the best tea for them to entertain them."

"We can't decide the war, so we have to rely on our mouths to make a living." Tang Shaoyi squinted and smiled: "Are you right?"

Hai Jing nodded and knew that he could not find out the intention of the Spanish ambassador from Tang Shaoyi's mouth. He could only let go of this thought and return to the idea just now. He smiled and said, "Lord Tang has said a lot, so in addition to drinking tea this time, I also hope to convince you."

"Please."

At the invitation of Tang Shaoyi, the two quickly came to a small conference room with simple decoration. Haijing was no stranger to this place, so after entering the house, they quickly sat down and made it clear.

"Lord Tang, I still have one question. Germany wants to know when the agreement signed between the Duke and our country will take effect."

Tang Shaoyi is not surprised at all. It is the third largest island in Japan, with more than 30,000 square kilometers and millions of people. Not to mention Germany, which has always wanted to find a colony in the Far East, I'm afraid I can't resist it.

Especially Germany, whose international status and colonial land are not commensurate with its own strength, in order to seize greater power, Emperor William II would have been crazy for a long time. If it hadn't been for the strength of the navy, I'm afraid that the whole world would have started a war.

Judging from Haijing's eager expression, how wise the young master was to distract Germany's attention by serving the tiger at the beginning. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Germany would have begun to eat the Qing Dynasty with a knife and fork.

However, it doesn't make sense to take such a large Kyushu Island for nothing if you want to fulfill this agreement!

Tang Shaoyi smiled from the bottom of her heart and ordered people to make the best tea. At the same time, she sat opposite Haijing without hurry and smiled and said, "Dear Ambassador, with all due respect, the war between our country and Japan is not over yet. Is it too early to fulfill this agreement?"

Hai Jing's face changed slightly, and he suddenly twitched from the bottom of his heart. Is it possible that Li Mo is going to change his mind?

Suddenly said in a low voice: "Lord Tang, we Germans don't like to talk around the bush. The two naval battles in your country have consumed the main force of the Japanese fleet. I believe that as long as the Uraga waterway is opened for a period of time, the Japanese navy will be exposed to the muzzle of your fleet. I believe that at this time, except for the short-sighted myself In addition, no country will believe that they have the ability to win.

"Oh?" Of course, it is impossible for Tang Shaoyi to say the news that the Japanese navy has sunk, but pretended to be surprised: "Is the ambassador really so confident? You should know that there are still 40,000 troops in North Korea, and there are more than 200,000 well-trained troops in China. No matter how powerful our fleet is, it can't sail on land.

Hai Jing snorted coldly from the bottom of his heart, directly ignored Tang Shaoyi's surprise, and said bluntly, "Lord Tang, I believe that the Duke knows better than anyone else that he does not need to carry out a land war at all. It is an island country. Without a navy, it can't threaten anyone at all. Even if they can arm more than a million troops, then It doesn't work either.

"Sure enough, he is a sensible person." Tang Shaoyi praised in her heart and stopped going around in circles. Suddenly, she asked, "Mr. Haijing, my Duke is a person who says the same. Since he has agreed to this agreement, he will not breach the contract!"

"But..." Before Haijing's face changed, he sank his face and took out a list and handed it over: "Your Excellency just wants to know when these delayed machine tools will arrive."

Haijing took over the list, and his face also changed slightly. Before handing over the jurisdiction of Kyushu Island to Germany, Li Mo had submitted a procurement list to attract Germany to support him in controlling the three northeastern provinces. Although most of the goods in the list had arrived in Liaodong within half a year, the most important thing was thousands of various machine tools. However, it was suspended for reasons such as the imminent outbreak of war in the Far East and the danger of maritime transportation.

Because at that time, Germany was actually not optimistic about the Pacific Fleet. The strength of the new fleet was so strong that even Germany could not be comparable. In addition, it also intended to contain the other party in this regard to prevent Li Mo from reneged on the agreement, but I didn't expect that now became an excuse for the other party to delay the agreement!

However, Haijing did not think there was anything wrong with doing so in China. He immediately said, "Lord Tang, I informed you long before the start of the war in your country that unless you can ensure the smooth flow of the sea and the safety of China's merchant ships, otherwise China will not be able to safely transport such important goods here, but now I believe that this batch of materials It will be loaded on the ship soon."

"Huh, it's just pretending now?" Tang Shaoyi sneered from the bottom of his heart, but continued to smile on his face: "Your Excellency, please forgive me, my Duke doesn't like friends who have breached the contract, just like Britain!"

"He has always regarded Germany as a good friend, but your country's practice on this batch of goods has deeply hurt his personal feelings, so..."

Before Tang Shaoyi finished speaking, Haijing's face changed and stood up: "Do you want to breach the contract?"

Haijing can't help but be in a hurry. You should know that the country and His Majesty the Emperor William II have called several times, and tens of thousands of navy and army generals are still floating in the Penghu Islands at this time. If the other party breaks the contract, they will face the fate of not being able to settle down and return home! Germany's plan to gain a foothold in the Far East will also be completely destroyed!

More importantly, the Pacific Fleet has become powerful at this moment. Not to mention the weak German navy, even Britain and France have to give three points in the Far East at present. Once the other side breaks the contract, I'm afraid there is no way to retaliate!

He can't be in a hurry!

Haijing's impatience did not surprise Tang Shaoyi. On the contrary, the smile at the corners of his mouth became stronger. As a diplomat, in addition to the strong support of the forces behind him, he needed to force the other party to a corner and peel off their final coat to get the greatest benefits.

Obviously, his vague words have stepped on the bottom line of the German ambassador. I believe he also knows the current predicament of Germany, so he smiled and took out another document.

"Your Excellency Ambassador, this is the agreement drafted by my duke to hand over the jurisdiction of Kyushu Island to your country. I hope you can read it first before making a decision."

"Jiuzhou Island Jurisdiction Agreement!"

Haijing's breathing suddenly became rapid. Even a senior diplomat like him was made a little gaffe by this sudden cold and hot, 180-degree turn. Of course, the most important thing is that Kyushu Island is really too big for Germany. Not to mention its area, not to mention its population, it is only Japanese. The cost-consuming construction of Sasebo Port is enough for anyone to take risks.

But when he opened the agreement and didn't look at it twice, he was stunned!

Jump up suddenly.

The first article in the agreement is that the Pacific Fleet has half of the right to use Sasebo Port. After all, everyone knows that if you want to gain a foothold on Kyushu Island, Germany can't do without Li Mo's help. Otherwise, with the long supply line of Europe here, it may be strangled by Britain, France and Germany at any time.

But the last two made him a little angry!

Because Li Mo wrote that the jurisdiction of Kyushu Island was exchanged for German colonies in the Pacific Ocean, including the Marshall Islands including Nauru and Buka in the Solomon Islands, Bougainville and other islands!

Although there is no largest and most important island of New Guinea and the Bismarck Islands named after Prime Minister Bismarck, they are just small islands that do little damage to Germany, but they are also German territory!

If the Marshall Islands blocked the connection between Micronesia and Honolulu, and it was coveted by Li Mo to take the opportunity to make a request that was acceptable, then the third one made him feel more difficult, that is, Li Mo asked Germany to recognize a new country.

Xinhua Republic!

A new country that includes the current three northeastern provinces, Luzon, Micronesia, and other current and future occupations of the Pacific Army!

It will even include the Marshall Islands!

More importantly, at this time, everyone knows that Li Mo has regarded the Qing Dynasty as his own ban. In addition to Britain and France, two countries with huge interests in the Qing Dynasty, and hostile Russia, which are unwilling to face this point, countries, including Germany, Italy and even the United States, actually understand Li Mo's thoughts.

If Germany takes the lead in recognizing the establishment of this new country, it means that unless it is willing to go to war, Li Mo will be the master of the huge Qing Far East sooner or later!

He pushed Germany to the opposite side of Britain and France!

Once recognized, it also means that this new republic will officially establish an extraordinary relationship with Germany!

"Your Excellency Ambassador, the world is very big, Africa and America, and there are many land and gold. What we want is only the Far East!" Tang Shaoyi took a sip of tea and looked at the German ambassador with a pale face. In the bottom of her heart, she had already cast the five bodies admired by Master Li. A Kyushu Island jurisdiction, and even if the young master was willing to offer the jurisdiction of the four countries, he could force the powerful Germany to this point.

Karate!

Who said I played the best?!
