Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan looked back and found that the person who spoke was Fade Chen. Fade Chen said angrily: "You young couple don't sleep in the middle of the night, and you come out to have fun, just play, and take us all together! The most lovely Annoyed: You still scolded me, didn't I just yawn?"

People are like this, if they hear, talk about, or even think of "yawn", they will definitely yawn, so when Fade Chen talked about "yawn", he couldn't help but open his mouth wide and yawned. Yawn, adding a bit of humor to the angry face.

Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing couldn't help it either, and both "yawned". Seeing the two yawning, Chen Fei couldn't help laughing, and he couldn't get angry when he laughed. Lin Yuan He smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back to sleep. I just want to think about what is the more powerful move Gilles told me before leaving."

The next day, Lin Yuan still tried his best to meet the ministers of various countries, but unfortunately they still avoided seeing them. What made him even more worried was that in the afternoon of this day, the ministers of several countries even had a meeting together. Lin Yuan really wanted to know the content of the meeting, but the meeting was held under extremely concealed circumstances, and Lin Yuan had no way to eavesdrop on the content of the meeting.

It was finally time for the second round of talks to start. Lin Yuan knew very well that today's negotiations would become very difficult after Gilles' manipulation, and what was even more unfavorable was that he didn't know what kind of wishful thinking Gilles had in mind!

Lin Yuan led all the members of the mission into the conference hall. The scene today was even bigger than the day before yesterday. There seemed to be more reporters. Lin Yuan sat on a chair, leaning his back gently on the backrest, putting his hands on the table, fiddling with Holding a pen, he decided to adopt a post-strike strategy on this occasion, first to see what moves the opponent made, and then look for opportunities to counterattack.

Gilles looked at Lin Yuan, smiled confidently, and said: "Let's continue the discussion on the topic last time. You proposed to use the "Nerchinsk Treaty" as the basis for negotiations, thereby abolishing the "Aigun Treaty" and the "Beijing Treaty." ", we firmly oppose this proposal."

Lin Yuan spread his hands and said with a smile, "That will be difficult, we will not compromise."

Giles also smiled and said: "Mr. Lin Yuan, this is not a matter of compromise or non-compromise at all, but your request is completely unreasonable, so we objected. You can ask friends from all over the world here. Does the requirement conform to international practice?"

At this time, a middle-aged man behind Gilles raised his hand and said, "That's right, Mr. Lin Yuan, your proposal is totally unreasonable. The "Aigun Treaty" and the "Beijing Treaty" are both products of negotiations between the two governments. It has a sacred legal effect, and it cannot be abolished just by abolishing it."

Lin Yuan asked, "May I ask who you are?"

The middle-aged man replied: "My name is Fellowes Riggs, and I am the Italian Minister to the United Kingdom."

Before Lin Yuan could speak, another person stood up and said, "I am the envoy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the UK. The conclusion of the treaty has a timeliness. If the clauses in the two treaties conflict with each other, then the clauses in the later treaty can replace it." The previous terms, so Mr. Lin Yuan, your proposal is unreasonable."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "So this is what Gilles and the big powers discussed!" Just as he was thinking, Xu Jingcheng whispered in Lin Yuan's ear: "Master Lin, we are already besieged on all sides, you have to find a way quickly! "

Lin Yuan said in a low voice: "Master Xu, don't worry, look at me." So Lin Yuan smiled and said to the Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire: "I'm not very knowledgeable, I don't know where you got that 'timeliness for the conclusion of the treaty' thing." here?"

The envoy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire said: "In the early days, we signed a public law of all nations, and in this law, we stipulated these things."

"Public Law of the World" is the earliest international law, and Lin Yuan has heard of it, Lin Yuan said with a smile: "It's a pity, China is not a signatory country of the Public Law of the World, so this law has no law for our country effective."

At this moment, the German envoy stood up and said: "As far as I know, there is a minister named Lin Zexu in your country. When he dealt with the banning of opium in Guangzhou, he once quoted this law, so your country has acquiesced in fact. the law."

Lin Yuan also knew about this. When Lin Zexu banned smoking, he asked his staff to translate the "Public Law of the Nations" and used it as a basis to put pressure on foreign businessmen who refused to hand over opium. However, Lin Yuan laughed: "That's just the personal behavior of that minister, and it doesn't mean that our Chinese government will acquiesce to this law."

Suddenly a person stood up from the seat and said angrily in blunt Chinese: "It's a bunch of nonsense. Lin Zexu's smoking ban is an action of the government. Since the entire smoking ban is an action of the government, how can you say that the actions Lin Zexu took during the smoking ban Is it personal behavior?"

Seeing this man with black hair and dark eyes, Lin Yuan knew that he must be the Japanese Minister. Lin Yuan immediately lowered his face and said, "If the person sent out was not Lin Zexu but someone else, he might not have quoted the "" "Public Law of the Nations", how could his citation not be a personal act!"

The Japanese minister wanted to say more, but Lin Yuan waved his hand in disdain and said, "Our two countries are still at war, and I don't want to talk to you anymore."

Lin Yuan was right. Ever since Lin Yuan led troops to drive Japan out of the Northeast, the two countries have never signed a legal document stating that the state of war between the two sides has been lifted, so from a legal point of view, the two sides are still in a state of war state of war.

At this time, another person stood up and smiled at Lin Yuan and the Japanese envoy: "I am the American envoy. Our focus today is the war negotiations between the Russian Empire and the Qing Empire. We will talk about other things later. I also want to Let me say a few words about this matter, regardless of whether the Qing Empire recognizes the "Public Law of the Nations", you should abide by international practices, the timeliness of treaties exists objectively, and your country should abide by them!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "These countries have already expressed their attitudes and are on the side of the Russians. It seems that the Russians have given them a lot of benefits. Now only the French Minister is left. I promised to give the French Minister benefits. He Maybe it will speak for us."

Lin Yuan looked at the French envoy, who stood up and said, "Why don't we vote? I saw that there are envoys from twelve countries, and each envoy represents his country. Then we vote. Let's see if the Qing Empire can use the "Nerchinsk Treaty" to replace the "Aigun Treaty" and the "Beijing Treaty."

Lin Yuan sneered in his heart and said: "What a Frenchman who eats inside and out, you are doing this to help the Russians!" At this moment, Prime Minister Cecil, who had been silent all this time, raised his hand and said: "Mr. Lin Yuan, then we will Let's start voting, if the majority is against, we will not allow your proposal, what do you think?"

If the officials of the Qing court were changed, they would have been at a loss when they saw the great powers uniting. Xu Jingcheng was already sweating on his forehead, and he whispered to Lin Yuan, "Hurry up and think of a way, the foreign devils have joined forces. If they vote, they will definitely reject our proposal, and then we will lose!"
