    "What? You invaded the colonies of the British Empire, killed the soldiers of the British Empire, destroyed the warships of the British Empire, and you actually asked the British Empire to compensate you for your losses? How can there be such a reason in the world? Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, I solemnly  I tell you, this is impossible. China must compensate the British Empire for its losses, otherwise, the British Empire will definitely not give up!" Lord Lansdowne roared arrogantly.

    "Your Excellency, if you want to say this, then we cannot reach an agreement. For China, the cause of the war, or who is right and who is wrong, is no longer important. What is important is the result of the war!" Wu Tingfang coldly  He said with an undisguised look of disdain in his eyes.  It's so shameless to dare to mess around despite losing the war.

    "Your Excellency, Foreign Secretary, what do you mean by this? Do you still want to continue the war?" Lord Lansdowne asked angrily.  Obviously, if the war continues, his trip will be in vain.

    "Your Excellency, although I don't want to see this happen, I have to admit that our army and navy have completed their rest and recuperation. If our two countries cannot reach an agreement, the empire's army and navy will continue to attack.  To the west, or to the south!" A smile appeared on the corner of Wu Tingfang's mouth.  The advantages gained by the Chinese Army on the battlefield gave him confidence, and he was not afraid of Lord Lansdowne at all.

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, are you threatening me? Threatening the British Empire?" Lord Lansdowne asked coldly.  He understood what Wu Tingfang meant. If he went west, he would launch an attack on India.  After the Chinese *** team captured Myanmar.  It is already close to India.  Although Myanmar and India are separated by high mountains.  Road conditions are also very poor.  But don't forget.  China's navy has no rivals.  If they want, they can carry out landing operations in India.  The Chinese can cross tens of thousands of kilometers of the Pacific Ocean and land on the west coast of the United States. Naturally, they can also land in India.  India was the most important colony of the British Empire and could not be lost.  If you go south, it¡¯s Australia.  Compared to India, Australia's status is not that high.  Australia now.  Many mineral resources have not yet been discovered, and the Australians have recently been thinking about autonomy, which has caused a lot of trouble for the UK.  However, if China attacks southward, Britain will still not want to see it.

    "Your Excellency, I don't mean to threaten you, this is just a plan that our army has already prepared!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile.  In fact, although China still has surplus military power, it will appear to be insufficient if it continues to expand its war in Southeast Asia.  Navy to secure the fight on the west coast of the United States.  A large amount of shipping capacity has been invested, and many merchant ships have also been recruited.  If we attack India or Australia again.  Logistics simply cannot be guaranteed.  However, the British obviously will not know the actual situation of the Chinese army and navy.  It is entirely possible to use it to intimidate them into agreeing to China's conditions.

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the British Empire will never accept any threats. If China dares to attack India and Australia, the British Empire will definitely fight China to the end!" Lord Lansdowne still made no concessions.

    "Then please do it! Let's sit down and negotiate after we once again decide the winner on the battlefield!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile, as if he didn't care at all.  This attitude made Lord Lansdowne a little unsure.

    "Damn it, if the Royal Navy of the British Empire regains its strength, how can these yellow-skinned monkeys be allowed to be so arrogant!" Lord Lansdowne said secretly in his heart.  Although he made harsh words, if China really attacks India or Australia, there will be nothing the UK can do.  The British Navy only has a dozen old battleships left. Even if they are all dispatched, they will not be able to compete with the Chinese Navy's new battleships.  Therefore, the current Britain can only try its best to avoid war, and then regain its position after regaining its strength.

    The current game between China and Britain has become such a situation.  China's military power has been stretched to its extreme and cannot open up new battlefields.  As for Britain, due to the failure of its navy, it also lacked the strength to protect its overseas colonies.  Therefore, the two sides are in a stalemate stage to some extent.  However, China¡¯s trump cards are obviously better than those of the UK.  Therefore, China also has a great advantage in this negotiation.

    "Your Excellency, Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs. This war is a failure for both the British Empire and China. This war is a complete misunderstanding. For the people of the two countries, ending the war is the only way.  The most important thing is. If we have differences, we can resolve them through negotiation. Why must we resort to war?" Zhu Erdian, the former British Minister to China, quickly smoothed things over.

    Lord Lansdowne also knows that talks with China cannot be broken now, so he will take this step to stop talking about it.So aggressive.

    ¡°Your Excellency, Foreign Secretary, let¡¯s stop beating around the bush and tell the truth, how can your country end the war with the British Empire?¡± Lord Lansdowne asked.

    "Your Excellency, our Emperor attaches great importance to this negotiation. To end the war between China and Britain, Britain must agree to several conditions: First, recognize China's occupation of Burma and the Straits Settlements. Second, compensate  Our country has suffered a war loss of 200 million pounds! In this case, peace will be restored between China and Britain!" Wu Tingfang said seriously.

    "This is impossible. Myanmar and the Straits Settlements are colonies of the British Empire. The British Empire will never give up. In this war, the British Empire suffered heavy losses and paid tens of thousands of casualties. China should give the British Empire  Pay reparations instead of demanding reparations from the British Empire!" Lord Lansdowne said, shaking his head.

    "Your Excellency, this is our country's bottom line. Don't you think this is the war dividend that the victorious country should receive as a matter of course?" Wu Tingfang said.  He is clearly a high-speed Lord Lansdowne. He wants to correct his position. Since he has lost the battle, if he wants to end the war, he has to pay the price.

    "The British Empire has not failed yet!" Lord Lansdowne said through gritted teeth.  How could the British Empire, as the world's most powerful country, be defeated?  At least, Lord Lansdowne would never admit it.

    Wu Tingfang smiled and said nothing more.  The facts are right in front of us, and they cannot be changed without acknowledging them.

    "Your Excellency, if that's the case, I think that's the end of the day. You go back and think about it first. However, I want to remind you that there are more than 50,000 captured soldiers from your country in our prisoner-of-war camp.  In addition, the two governors Bu Li and Ruitianham are also in the prisoner of war camp. If it continues to be delayed, it will be very detrimental to your country!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile.

    "Hmph! Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, you don't have to worry! We will rescue them soon. Farewell!" Lord Lansdowne and Zhu Erdian left the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  However, this meeting made them very dissatisfied.  However, it is not without gain.  Since childhood, they have learned about China's conditions, even though these conditions are very difficult for Britain to accept.

    "Arrogant British! Are you still unwilling to lower your noble heads? I want to see how long you can hold on!" Wu Tingfang said secretly as he watched Lord Lansdowne and Zhu Erdian leave.  .

    "Come here, prepare the car, I'm going to the palace to see His Majesty!" Wu Tingfang ordered.

    Soon, Wu Tingfang appeared in Xinhua Palace.  Wang Yuze is currently handling matters in the study.

    "Your Majesty!" Wu Tingfang saluted Wang Yuze respectfully.

    "Master Wu, please take a seat! Have you met the British Foreign Secretary? How was the conversation?" Wang Yuze asked.

    "Your Majesty, the British are so arrogant. They want us to withdraw from Burma and the Straits Settlements as soon as we meet, and they want us to compensate for their losses, as if we have lost the war!" Wu Tingfang said bitterly.

    "Haha! That's how the British are. They have been the world hegemon for so long that they can't even turn a corner!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.  These Westerners have always looked down upon China.  But now, after suffering a defeat, he still doesn't understand the situation, which is a bit inappropriate.

    "Your Majesty, I expressed our country's conditions very clearly to Lansdowne. However, I think it will be difficult for the British to agree. Burma and the Straits Settlements have been occupied by us. Even if the British are unwilling to admit it, they  We have no choice but to hold our noses and admit it in the end. But if they don¡¯t pay the 200 million pounds in war compensation, we have nothing to do,¡± Wu Tingfang said.

    "Don't worry, the British may not pay the full amount of the 200 million pound war compensation, but they will not pay it at all. In comparison, we still have tens of thousands of British prisoners of war. In addition, I will let the army and navy take action  Let's put some pressure on the British. When the time comes, they will accept our conditions!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.  As long as China's army in Southeast Asia assumes a posture of attacking India and the warships of the home fleet also go out to sea and head south, they will definitely be able to scare these British people to death.  At that time, the British should think about it carefully.  Whether they can afford such a price if negotiations break down.  In addition, China still has a trump card against the UK.  In southern Africa, those Boers are probably ready to make a move!  China defeated Britain, and Britain brought them a lot of confidence!
