    "Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, we in China have always been very sincere in wanting to end this war with Russia. However, your country does not agree to the conditions we have proposed. This cannot be blamed on us!"  Wu Tingfang had a smile on his face.  It seems that they have never thought that China and Russia cannot reach an agreement. The fundamental reason is that China is opening its mouth wide.

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, we can renegotiate the specific conditions. Even if there are differences, I think we will be able to reach an agreement soon!" Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky said quickly.  Prime Minister Sergei?  Witte has given him an ultimatum. If he still cannot reach an agreement with the Chinese, then he will wait to step down!

    "Haha! It's great that your country can think like this!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile.  Obviously, Russia's attitude of bowing his head and being submissive made him very satisfied.

    "Then, Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, can we now negotiate the terms of the armistice between the two countries?" Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky said.  Although, seeing Wu Tingfang's smiling face, he felt very unhappy.  However, he has no choice now. Who said that Russia is now weak and in danger?

    "I'm not busy! I have to report the specific conditions to His Majesty!" Wu Tingfang shook his head.

    Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky was suddenly shocked. Does China still want to change the conditions?  The conditions were harsh enough last time, but these Chinese went too far.  He is sure that China will not take the initiative to lower the conditions.  After all, China now has the overall advantage.

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, if your country's conditions are too harsh, I am afraid that Russia will be unable to bear it, and the two countries will not be able to reach an agreement on this!" Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky reminded.

    "Your Excellency, Foreign Minister! The last time our country proposed conditions, the two sides faced off in Omsk. But now, most of the Siberian Plain has fallen into our hands. Do you think our country will still abide by the previous conditions?" Wu Tingfang  Said with a sneer.

    Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky suddenly looked dissatisfied. The bottom line of Tsar Nicholas II was to preserve the Siberian Plain, but if China did not agree, then everything would become a delusion.  Now it seems that China obviously wants to take advantage of the army's great victory to cut off a piece of fat from Russia.  Russia, on the other hand, has no power to fight back at all and has become a piece of meat on the chopping board!  This made Izvorski very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, although Russia is in danger now, if your country's requirements are too harsh, His Majesty the Tsar will definitely not agree! This will not be beneficial to either of our countries!" Russian Foreign Minister Yi  Zvorski said bravely.

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, that's it for today! I'd like to ask His Majesty the Emperor for instructions. We will start specific negotiations tomorrow!" Wu Tingfang said.

    Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky had no choice but to agree and at the same time report the latest situation to Moscow so that Moscow could be prepared.

    After seeing off Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky, Wu Tingfang immediately went to the palace to report to Wang Yuze the details of his meeting with Izvorsky, and asked for instructions on what needed to be paid attention to in the next negotiation.

    "Your Majesty, now that our army has achieved a great victory in the Siberian Plains, do we need to change the terms of our negotiation?" Wu Tingfang asked.  The army's victory gave him more confidence in negotiations.

    "Now the army has advanced to Petropavlovsk. Moreover, the Russian army has completely lost its fighting spirit. It is no longer a fantasy to drive the Russian army out of the Siberian Plain. During the negotiations, the conditions can be increased to allow the Russian army to  All the land east of the Ural Mountains will be ceded to us!" Wang Yuze said after thinking for a moment.

    "The entire east of the Ural Mountains? Let Russia completely become a European country? Your Majesty, Tsar Nicholas II will definitely not agree!" Wu Tingfang said immediately.  In this war, Russia has lost too much territory.  The Russians are extremely greedy for land, and they will definitely not agree to lose so much territory.

    "If the Russians continue to be tough, they can make some concessions appropriately. The bottom line is still east of Omsk!" Wang Yuze said.  One bite cannot make a big fat man. In this war, China has gained a large area of ??territory. These territories need to be immigrated and slowly digested. Only after all these territories are digested can they launch a new attack!

    "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand!" Wu Tingfang nodded.  If China previously proposed Omsk as the boundary, RussiaIf you have any other opinions, now that the entire Siberian Plain is about to fall, being able to resist the Chinese ambitions in Omsk is already considered a big victory for the Russians.

    "In terms of war reparations, the Russians must have a lot of objections to the 500 million pounds in war reparations. It's not that they can't afford it, but the miser Tsar Nicholas II will definitely not agree to pay such a large amount of war reparations.  . In order to make Russia pay war reparations, we only need to ask Russia to pay 200 million pounds. However, the millions of captured Russian soldiers will not be returned to them. We will still use these captured Russian soldiers  Build infrastructure in Siberia!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Twenty million pounds! Your Majesty, I'm afraid Russia can't even come up with 200 million pounds. Russia's current economy is on the verge of collapse, and civil strife has broken out in Russia. I'm afraid they don't have that much money to pay us!" Wu Tingfang  Hesitantly.  Russia's economy can be said to be the worst among the great powers.  For a country as rich as the United States, China has only extorted 300 million pounds.  It would be quite difficult to extort 200 million pounds from Russia!

    "Haha! Mr. Wu, you have underestimated Russia! Although Russia is poor, the Tsar's family is not poor! The wealth accumulated by the Tsar's family over hundreds of years is already terrifying. Not to mention 200 million pounds, even 500 million pounds  Nicholas II will definitely be able to take out the pounds. However, Nicholas II will never agree to give out all his property!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.

    "What? Does the Tsar actually have so much wealth?" Wu Tingfang felt a little unbelievable.

    "Of course, the property controlled by the tsar is likely to be more than 4,000 tons of gold alone. With other jewelry and antiques waiting, the total value is definitely more than 800 million pounds!" Wang Yuze said with great certainty.

    "His! These ancient royal families are indeed very rich!" Originally, Wu Tingfang thought Wang Yuze's asking price was too high, but now it seems that it is too high. The difference is that he wants too little!

    "The Czar's wealth is not the largest. The British royal family's wealth is greater than that of the Czar. If one day we can defeat the British and take away all the wealth controlled by the British royal family, then we will really become rich!" Wang Yuze looked forward to it.

    "Uh!" Wu Tingfang was also stunned.  However, it is not that easy to defeat Britain.  The Chinese army is still unable to cross more than 20,000 kilometers to reach the UK. If it wants to defeat the UK, or even land on the British mainland, it will not be possible in a short time.

    "Okay, I'm just talking. Now our strength can't reach this point, but it doesn't mean we won't reach it in the future. During the negotiations with Russia, let the Russians pay all the war compensation in gold. When will they  Pay us the war reparations, and when will we stop attacking them?" Wang Yuze said.

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Tingfang nodded. With Wang Yuze's instructions, he knew what to do.  However, he still had some doubts in his heart.

    "Your Majesty, the civil strife in southern Russia is getting more and more serious now. If we wait for a while, the Tsar may be overthrown, and we may be able to obtain greater benefits by then!" Wu Tingfang said.

    Wang Yuze shook his head, and then said: "It is not a good thing to let those people from the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party overthrow the Tsar. These Russians are full of aggressive nature in their bones. Once these crazy people take control of Russia,  , I am afraid it will pose a great threat to us in the future!" Wang Yuze does not want a crazy red regime to appear next to China.

    "Yes, I understand, Your Majesty. I will reach an agreement with Russia as soon as possible, and then let them deal with the rebels!" Although Wu Tingfang didn't know why Wang Yuze shouted at the rebels, but since Wang Yuze gave the order, he could only  Did so.

    On the morning of August 30, Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang and Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky met again and formally launched peace talks between China and Russia.

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, our country's final conditions are the same as before, except for one modification. That is, His Majesty the Emperor of our country requires that the Ural Mountains be used as the border between our two countries!" Wu Tingfang said with a look on his face.  He looked at Izvorsky with a smile.

    "What? The Ural Mountains? Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, this is impossible. It is impossible for Russia to agree to such conditions!" Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky jumped like a cat whose tail was stepped on.  got up.

    "Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, now the entire Siberian Plain is about to fall into our hands. Do you still think that Russia has the ability to take these lands back?" Wu Tingfang said contemptuously.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature for novel updates.??Updates faster!)
