    "Traitor! These damn traitors, they have betrayed Russia again. What do they think of the alliance?" Tsar Nicholas II said angrily.  If Britain, France and the United States all make peace with China, then China will be able to devote all its strength to fighting Russia.  Although he was unwilling to admit it, Nicholas II knew that if that happened, Russia would not be far from complete defeat.  By then, Russia will have lost even more.

    None of the ministers said anything more.  The so-called covenant is completely based on the same interests.  Now, China has unexpectedly gained the initiative in the war. Everyone has seen that it will not do them any good to continue the war.  Therefore, countries are naturally scrambling to end the war.  As for Russia, countries will definitely not care.  If Russia wants to continue the war, they will probably have strong support from other countries.  They are eager to use Russia to consume China's strength.  However, the prerequisite is that exhausted Russia can continue to fight?  The answer is obviously no.

    "What do you think we should do now?" After getting furious, Tsar Nicholas II calmed down.  He is not a fool and can naturally see the crisis Russia is facing now.  There is no doubt that Russia now has no capital to continue fighting and has to bow to the Chinese.  Even if this result is not what he wants to see.  But what's the use?

    ¡°Your Majesty, for the sake of Russia, I implore you to end this war!¡± Prime Minister Sergei Vitte said.

    Tsar Nicholas II did not answer immediately, but looked at Pobedonoschiev.  Although Pobedonoschaev's official position was the director of the General Administration of Russian Orthodox Church Affairs, he was indeed the most trusted adviser of Tsar Nicholas II.  his opinion.  Often able to influence the decisions of Tsar Nicholas II.  This was the envy of other Russian ministers.

    "Your Majesty. I also believe that it is time for this war to end! In this war, except for our country and Japan, no country is willing to try its best to defeat the Chinese. In this case,  Russia, fighting alone, is no match for the Chinese. If we persist, we will only lose more. Therefore, while it is not completely defeated, it is undoubtedly very important to negotiate with the Chinese and strive to suffer less losses. In addition,  , Britain, France and the United States all suffered heavy losses in this war, and they would definitely not give up. After the war, Russia immediately began to accumulate strength and wait for the next war. What was lost in this war.  You can definitely get it back twice as much in the next war!" Pobedonoschaif suggested.

    Tsar Nicholas II nodded, he also agreed with this point of view very much.  But.  He felt very sad when he thought of Russia losing a large area of ??territory.  You know, Russia has worked hard for hundreds of years for these territories!

    "Your Majesty, if we decide to negotiate with the Chinese, we must act quickly. It is best to reach an agreement with the Chinese before other countries. Otherwise, the longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for us!" Foreign Minister Izufu  Erski said.  If China makes peace with Britain, France and the United States first, then China will definitely kill Russia severely.

    "Izvorski, can we get back the territory we lost during negotiations? Or, lose as little territory as possible. I can agree to return to them the territory we have gained from China in the past half century.  , but other territories must be returned to Russia by the Chinese!" said Tsar Nicholas II.

    Foreign Minister Izvorsky was speechless. The Chinese people¡¯s desire for land is no less than that of the Russians!  Now that these territories have fallen into the hands of the Chinese, it is not easy to get them to spit them out!

    "Your Majesty, I will do my best!" Izvorsky said.  He could only say this. The military failure gave him so much confidence in negotiations!  It goes without saying that the Chinese will never agree to return those lands.  Maybe they will take the opportunity to open their mouths and kill Russia severely.  Judging from their performance in previous wars, this is very possible.

    The other ministers were also very speechless.  They suddenly realized that even if Tsar Nicholas II agreed to negotiate with China, everyone would probably not be able to reach an agreement.  Unless Tsar Nicholas II was completely desperate, he would never give up those lands.

    "Okay, then you set off early tomorrow morning and rush to China! However, you must remember that if the Chinese agree to withdraw from Russian territory, Russia will agree to stop the war with them. Otherwise, the war will continue  Get down!" Tsar Nicholas II warned.

    "Yes, His Majesty the Tsar!" Izvolsky looked bitter. He already knew this.?, it¡¯s a complete chore!  The Chinese people would 100% not agree to Tsar Nicholas II's conditions.  However, he had no choice but to go to Beijing to find a way to end the war.

    For a time, all countries hostile to China sent diplomats to China, hoping to have peace talks with China and end the war.  Moreover, the level of special envoys to China is not low. Except for Japan, which sent Taro Kawaguchi, the former minister to China, the other countries sent their foreign ministers, and the United States even sent its secretary of state.  In the United States, there is no position of Minister of Foreign Affairs, and all foreign affairs are handled by the Secretary of State.

    With the surrender of the Russian army in Irkutsk, nearly 400,000 Russian troops entered the prisoner-of-war camp of the Chinese Army. Such a huge victory once again made the Chinese people rejoice. They seemed to have seen that victory was getting closer to China.  It's getting closer.  No one does not want to have a strong motherland, and now, China has gradually met this requirement.

    June 25th is the time for the court meeting.  Wang Yuze sat high on the dragon chair in the Qinzheng Hall. On both sides of the hall, there were important cabinet ministers and military giants sitting.  Everyone's faces were beaming with joy.  As the imperial team won again and again, everyone saw that China was not far from winning the final victory.  Moreover, it is now time to reap the fruits of victory. After working hard for so long, we finally see the results.

    On both sides of Wang Yuze's dragon chair, two beautiful female officials stood.  After the establishment of the empire, the system of eunuchs was abolished, and all the people in the harem were female officials and female guards.  Male guards only used outside Xinhua Palace.  As for the eunuchs from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, they were basically dismissed, and some homeless people simply stayed in the Forbidden City to guard the Forbidden City.  Today, the Forbidden City has become an important tourist attraction for domestic and foreign tourists.  Although the ticket price is as high as ten yuan, there is still an endless stream of tourists.  The annual ticket revenue alone can reach hundreds of millions. In addition to being used to maintain the Forbidden City, it can also be used to maintain other cultural relics and historic sites. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

    "Your Majesty, the Russian army in Irkutsk has surrendered. Next, the Fourth Army on the northern battlefield will be engaged in the battle in Omsk, and the Third Army will return to the country to rest and then be used in other battlefields."  Xiong Wu, Chief of General Staff, reported to Wang Yuze.

    "If we only commit the Fourth Army to Omsk, will we have enough troops?" Wang Yuze asked.  The Russians will definitely go to great lengths to avoid losing too much.  This can be seen from the Russian side's desperate efforts to transport troops to the area near Omsk.

    "Your Majesty, it's enough! The Fourth Army, plus the First Army that was invested in advance, and the First Army and the First Cavalry Army that are currently confronting the Russian army in Omsk, are enough to resist the Russian attack. If  If there is a chance, we can even attack westward. Moreover, Omsk is too far away from the empire, and the logistics pressure is very high. The General Staff is planning to use Russian prisoners of war to start extending the railway from the Merchant City to Siberia  On the big railway!" Xiong Wu said.

    ¡°Since the General Staff has already planned it, let¡¯s implement it according to the General Staff¡¯s plan! The General Staff and the Ministry of Transportation should discuss the construction of the railway together!¡± Wang Yuze said.

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu and Minister of Transportation Zhan Tianyou both replied.

    "Your Majesty, the British Foreign Secretary Lord Lansdowne, the French Foreign Minister Alexandre Ribot, the US Secretary of State John Sherman, and the former US Minister to China Sherlock are all on their way to Beijing. These three countries have stayed in Beijing through  The staff have already submitted a request for negotiation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" said Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang.

    "Haha! Very good! We are waiting for them to come to your door! Mr. Wu, it will be up to you then. How much fruits of victory the empire can reap in this war depends largely on your ability to negotiate.  What's going on! The Imperial Army and I are your biggest backers, you just need to convey our legitimate requests to them!" Wang Yuze laughed.  If the three countries of Britain, France and the United States want to withdraw from the war in advance, of course they have to pay a sufficient price!  China has already polished its knives and is just waiting to cut off a piece of fat from them.  The United Kingdom and the United States, in particular, are facing serious threats from China.  Britain's India and the United States' west coast are all within China's next attack range. Based on this, China has enough confidence to get enough benefits from them.  As for France, it is slightly worse.  The Indochina colony has been occupied by China. China can't go on an expedition to Europe and attack France, right?
