Chapter 421 We are friendly together (first update, please subscribe)
Ryukyu actually accepted the protection of Nanhua and became a protectorate of Nanhua!

"what!"

Okubo Toshimichi stood up abruptly, glaring at him.Looking straight at him.It took him a while to suppress the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart, and said in a humble tone.

"Your Excellency, you, please consider the history here!"

Facing Okubo Toshimichi's request, Li Fengzhi said directly.

"Your Excellency, Special Envoy, please consider your strength, this world speaks on strength!"

Although "strength" was mentioned twice, Li Fengzhi deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "strength".

"If you are stubborn, then I believe it will no longer be as simple as a misunderstanding!"

Faced with such a haughty answer, Okubo Toshimichi was stunned. He looked at the Nanhua officer in front of him, and he spoke for a long time.

"Is there no room for negotiation?"

"We can talk about it. If we can't talk about the result today, then next time, we can talk about it with another fleet. The casualties caused by your attack on our ship without authorization also need to be discussed!"

Li Fengzhi directly took out a list.

"This is the loss caused by the Japanese attack, please take a look!"

"One hundred thousand taels! You, only, only killed five people and injured ten people, but what about our loss? We lost two warships! You asked us to pay one hundred thousand taels!"

Okubo Toshitsu suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a muffled voice.

"One hundred thousand taels cannot be exchanged for the lives of our soldiers! For Nanhua, every soldier is extremely precious!"

Li Fengzhi didn't mention the loss of the Japanese at all. Their loss was nothing but self-inflicted!

Suppressing the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart, Hirobumi Ito said.

"Your Excellency, it is indeed as you said, the world speaks on strength! But..."

Pressing his lower lip heavily, Hirobumi Ito said in an extremely serious tone.

"However, from the moment Japan opened its doors, Japan hopes to get along with other countries and is willing to develop friendly relations with Nanhua. Please carefully consider the matter of compensation. After all, this is for the friendship between our two countries!"

"friendship……"

After pondering for a moment, Li Fengzhi said in a rather serious tone.

"It is precisely because of friendship that I hope to sign the treaty now. After all, if the time and scene are changed, perhaps, it will be another black ship attack!"

Looking at Okubo Toshimichi, Li Fengzhi said in a serious tone.

"Japan has been established for nearly [-] years. After dealing with Westerners for so many years, it should be very clear that for Westerners, the world is a world where the weak prey on the strong. What is Nanhua able to gain a foothold in South America? The first is strength. , The second is the attitude of resolutely fighting back in the face of provocations. Chileans offend our friends, and we will destroy their country in South China! Argentina’s border provocations, and its country will also be destroyed!"

Taking a deep breath, Li Fengzhi looked at the unnatural Japanese in front of him and said.

"This time, it was Japan who categorically provoked us, and we were forced to fight back in self-defense. If this matter is reported to Nanhua, how will we respond, Your Excellency!"

Faced with such a rhetorical question, Okubo Toshimichi couldn't help but fell into silence, and he frowned for a while before speaking.

"Your Excellency, please believe that we have absolutely no hostility towards your country."

"It's no longer a question of whether I believe it or not, but..."

Li Fengzhi sneered.

"What do I need to convince the country that you have no hostility? To the British, to the Americans, to the French, how do you do it? But to us? Use your fleet, your guns to make your voice heard? Believe me! Nan Hua has never been afraid of war!"

When he said these words again, Li Fengzhi's tone was full of confidence.

This kind of self-confidence did not come to him after he learned the news of Argentina's destruction halfway, but Nan Hua gave him such self-confidence from the very beginning. In the past ten years, Nan Hua gave everyone such self-confidence.

"In the face of the provocation of war, we have never flinched. It was true in the past, and it is the same now."

Just looking at the Japanese in front of him, Li Fengzhi continued.

"If what you want is war, then we will definitely let you get what you want. Nanhua's army is very strong, and now it's time for the navy to prove itself."

Still need proof?

Ito Hirobumi's heart is full of bitterness. Take Japan as proof?
Are you going to bombard Japan like the British did?

No need to think about it, he knows what kind of impact even the simplest bombardment will bring to the government!
You must know that although Japan has long been used to the existence of the emperor, it has never been used to an emperor with power.

Once Japan is bombarded by the fleet of "foreigners" again, the emperor's authority, which was finally re-established by "respecting the king and rejecting barbarians", will collapse.

The daimyos in those places have been watching, waiting for the opportunity. Once the prestige of the emperor and the court is severely hit, what will those people do?
What awaits Japan is bound to be another civil war!
Once Japan fell into civil war again, would it be possible for Japan to implement reforms at that time?

The answer is obvious.

In any case, Nanhua's fleet cannot be allowed to fire at Japan, and all misunderstandings must be eliminated immediately.

"Your Excellency, please believe that this is just a misunderstanding. Japan has never had any idea of ​​conflict with your country. In order to avoid conflicts between us, I think it is necessary to sign a goodwill agreement between Japan and Nanhua. Treaty of friendship."

Signing a treaty of goodwill and friendship is an old Japanese tradition.When the Perry fleet made a "friendly visit" to Edo Bay, what they signed was a treaty of goodwill and friendship.

The temper of the Japanese has always been like this, and there is a masochistic tendency in their bones.The harder the fight, the more friendly they become.

Why has Japan been in awe of China for thousands of years?No, it was because of being beaten!

In another world, Japan is extremely friendly to the United States.Why are they docile like dogs?
Isn't it because of being beaten!
Not to mention, this character is really human.Isn't this the "m" type personality!

"Sign a treaty of goodwill and friendship?"

Li Fengzhi smiled, of course he knows what the so-called treaty of goodwill and friendship is?
However, it was beyond his expectation that the Japanese could take the initiative to sign this treaty, but... this is also an additional gain.

"A treaty of goodwill and friendship? You must know that Nanhua has always advocated to get along with all countries on an equal footing, and is also willing to live in goodwill and friendship with Japan."

How could you refuse the fat meat that came to your door? Speaking of this, Li Fengzhi smiled...
