Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Nolen calmed down and said, "Lin Yuan, you have also imprisoned the staff of the Japanese ambassador and embassy. I'm not wrong, am I right? One of the important purposes of my visit today is to take them back and bring them back to Japan. All the property of the embassy."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. Ambassador, you are wrong again. I didn't imprison them. I wanted to send them back to Japan, so I invited them out of the Japanese embassy. As for their property, since they established diplomatic relations with the Qing government, Then we’ll just confiscate them all.”

Nolen frowned and said, "Lin Yuan, don't forget that you also have an embassy in Japan. If you do this, you won't be afraid that Japan will retaliate against your embassy?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "The embassy in Japan belongs to the Qing court, and the Japanese cherish it like their lifeblood."

Nolen said angrily: "Don't think I don't know, the embassy of the Qing court in Japan was established by you."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "So what? Anyway, it represents the Qing court. If the Japanese government touches it, it will not give the Qing court face. Of course, the Japanese government can let the Qing court remove the people in it, but the Qing court never pays attention to it." As for the embassy, ​​do you know how much effort it took me to let them establish the embassy? Now that the Qing court is so busy with the war, how can they have the mood to replace the embassy staff?"

Nolen said: "Lin Yuan, we will condemn you in the international community for your shameless actions against the Japanese embassy. We doubt that you will do the same thing to our country's embassy. I need you promise that our embassy will not be forcibly entered by you."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Didn't you send troops to support the Qing court? Then I won't send troops in to forcefully repatriate you. If you want to send troops, then I'm sorry."

Nuo Lun thought to himself: "Now that our British Empire is threatened by Lin Yuan, it is really unreasonable!" Mr. Lun, please go back and tell Mr. Charlton to give up the concession to me as soon as possible."

Nolen said: "I will report this matter to the Congress." After finishing speaking, he ignored Lin Yuan and got up to leave. Lin Yuan watched his leaving back, waved to an attendant, and asked, "I declare that all Did the news of the unequal treaties have any reaction among the common people?"

The attendant smiled and said, "Shuai Lin is too impatient. This news has just been announced, and it is estimated that many ordinary people still don't know about it."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "You immediately organize the people, organize a celebration parade, and then organize a series of celebration activities. In short, you can't let this matter go cold, you have to keep it boiling like boiling water, understand? "

The attendant said: "I understand, I will arrange it now."

Noren returned to the embassy, ​​looked at the armed soldiers of Lin Yuan's army and the arrogant Chinese in the concession, and felt very uncomfortable. When he returned to the embassy, ​​he immediately called one of his men and said, "Go and get the ambassadors from various countries in Shanghai." Come, hurry."

The subordinate hesitated for a moment and said: "The French ambassador and the Russian ambassador have stayed in Beijing and have not come over. They only have the consul general of the consulate in Shanghai. Do you want to invite them?"

Noren thought for a while and said: "Please, please come, hurry up." Seeing Noren, his subordinates emphasized twice that they must be quick, knowing that this matter is very important, so they went to invite these people, and soon these people It's all here.

Noren looked at the ambassadors present, the United States, Germany, France, Russia, Italy, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, basically all influential countries in the world are present, Noren first said: "I believe everyone knows what happened today. "

The German ambassador said without waiting for Noren to finish speaking: "Why is Lin Yuan so tyrannical and domineering? Is he really not afraid that we will send troops to beat him?"

Noren shrugged his shoulders and did not speak. The German ambassador continued, "Actually, Lin Yuan can be so tyrannical. The responsibility lies entirely with you. You are responsible for it!"

Noren frowned and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Ambassador?"

The German envoy took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and said, "This is why Lin Yuan is confident. He already knew that, so you dare not beat him at all!"

The ambassadors asked one after another, "What is that?"

The German ambassador slammed a stack of documents on the table and said loudly: "It's the trade orders between your countries and Lin Yuan, Mr. Noren, your country has the most trade orders with Lin Yuan, and the types of items involved are also the most. , the amount of money involved is even more astronomical, how can your country make up its mind to beat Lin Yuan?"

"Also in the United States, you and Lin Yuan also have a lot of cooperation. I see that many of your products are designed and manufactured in China. If you turn against Lin Yuan, you must suffer a lot, right? But among all trades, the trade items between France and Lin Yuan have the greatest impact on the country!"

The French Consul General was displeased to hear the German ambassador mentioning himself alone, and asked, "Mr. Ambassador, what do you mean?"

The German ambassador said: "Lin Yuan's trade with other countries is light industrial products, but the trade with your France involves heavy industrial products. Look at the trade orders yourself, gasoline for automobiles, aluminum alloy plates for automobiles, thermal power generation Factory generator sets, etc., don’t these things have a greater impact on the country than clothes and tableware?”

The French Consul General sneered: "Mr. Ambassador, what do you mean: We, the French Republic, should not conduct these trades with Lin Yuan."

The German ambassador said coldly: "Now your French economy is greatly driven by cars and electricity. I want to warn you that you will definitely be subject to Lin Yuan in the future!"

The French Consul General stood up "Teng" and said, "Are you Germans trying to teach us how the French Republic can gain a foothold in the international community?"

The German ambassador sneered: "We are not trying to teach you, but to warn you, good advice, if you don't listen, you will suffer a lot!"

Seeing that the two men were at war with each other, Noren knew that since France was defeated in the Franco-Prussian War and ceded Alsace and Lorraine, the two countries had always been hostile, so he said: "Gentlemen, the topic of our meeting today is how to deal with Lin Yuan , let's stop fighting among ourselves, shall we?"

The French Consul General smiled disdainfully after hearing this sentence, and said: "Mr. Nolen, I'm sorry, we have just received a telegram from the President. We, the French Republic, will recognize the government of the People's Republic of China as the legal government representing China and abolish the relationship with the Qing government. All the unequal treaties signed! The French concessions in Shanghai and Tianjin will be returned to Lin Yuan, and the cultural relics looted from China in previous wars of aggression will be returned. I don’t think I am suitable to participate in today’s meeting!”

After hearing this, Noren said immediately, "What? You French Republic wants to recognize Lin Yuan's regime?"

The French Consul General nodded firmly and said, "Yes, that's exactly what happened. We have written the credentials and are going to hand them over to Lin Yuan face to face. I'm sorry, but I'm leaving!" After finishing speaking, he walked out of the British embassy.

Everyone looked at the back of the French Consul General in surprise. Noren looked at the Russian Consul General and asked, "Your embassy is still in Beijing. Do you also intend to recognize the Lin Yuan government?"
