In the fierce attack of the 150,000 British troops in the next month or so, the main force of the Chinese army could not be found at all, at least in the Guangdong battlefield, and the state of attacking the Hong Kong garrison division once a day also made the Hong Kong garrison division accustomed to it, and even the British commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Ewan MacGregor, and his soldiers felt that they were doing a very boring thing.The number of British troops dropped to 140,000 and more than 10,000 people died in a month, which was roughly the same as the Chinese army in terms of numbers, because the British army could not always retreat in the camp, they needed to burn and kill, and this was the price they paid.If they want to completely defeat Hong Kong, they need to concentrate more troops, but the Guangdong battlefield makes it impossible for them to draw more troops, and the 50,000-man British attack is still bearable for the Hong Kong garrison division, at least for a year.In terms of war willpower, the Chinese army was at least ten grades higher than the British army.This is because the British were the aggressors, and the Chinese were fighting the Great Patriotic War.Will and strength are needed, and there is no distinction between more and less.What Taizu has is more of a brain and strategic vision.What's the use of having no brains and only will, President Moe's role model is Taizu, so President Moe is not afraid of invaders.The simplest example, France in World War II, known as having the strongest army in Europe, will it be more backward and weak than China, and it is doomed to collapse after being bypassed the Maginot Line, even so, China and the Soviet Union were also defeated at the beginning, and they all surrendered directly like France.The whole world is paying attention to this confrontation between China and Britain, Britain is so powerful, but it took more than half a year to defeat the Chinese army, which is an incredible thing.The Qing court hoped that the British army and the Chinese army would be defeated, and then the British army would win, and the countries with interests in Asia led by France would also hope that the British army and the Chinese army would lose both, but they even hoped that the Chinese army would win in the end, because even if the Chinese army won, it is still weak and can be bullied at will, so the great powers are more willing to see the defeat of the British.President Meng finally sent a step to the British, and if they continue to fight, China will definitely perish, but even if Britain tries to defeat Huaguo, at this time, the Qing court will unite with the powers to mediate, and Britain will not have any other benefits except for retaking Hong Kong, and the ammunition of the British in this section has also been used to a node, and if the war continues, Britain needs to allocate huge military spending in the next stage."
Cedion the Guangdong region west of the Xijiang River and pay 10 million taels worth of Huayuan" President Meng gave the minimum conditions for negotiations with the British, if the British did not agree, President Meng would rather die in battle, this condition was decided by President Meng after repeated evaluation.The minimum condition for the British is to take back Hong Kong, because they have paid too much in Hong Kong, and 30 years of construction have turned a deserted place into a world financial center On the basis of recovering Hong Kong, Huaguo will pay Britain another 10 million taels of Chinese official silver, and they don't want Huaguo's Chinese dollars, because this is tantamount to supporting China's development in disguise, and the British are not stupid.The news of the private negotiations between the two sides touched the French.The French also intervened in the negotiations, and from this time on, the French formally considered the proposal of the Nanyang Treaty member organization put forward by China, and actively wanted Britain to join, in fact, France thought that the proposal of the president of the Nanyang Treaty member organization was very constructive and conducive to maintaining the structure of the Nanyang.France was an empty shelf power at this time, and they needed to develop, and they needed to obtain colonies on the South Asian peninsula at the lowest cost.The Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Turkey, and a large number of sub-powers also joined the negotiations, and the situation became more and more lively, in fact, everyone was afraid of a sudden reconciliation between China and Britain.If it was just a Hong Kong, the British could eat it raw, but Guangdong was already too big for the British, and it was almost impossible for the Qing court to get the news that the British army and the Chinese army were negotiating, and the Empress Dowager Cixi ordered Li Hongzhang to quickly mobilize 30,000 elite Huai troops to prepare for the south, and the president needed to solve this chaotic situation as soon as possible.The negotiations with the British have also had a great reputational impact on President Meng, the Chinese army has always been under the banner of revitalizing China, and now it is not only ceding land, but also paying compensation, which is simply slapping itself in the face.Of course, President Moe knew this, but he couldn't help it, he didn't even want to listen to this voice, so that Princess Katrina Kaf, if it was not a last resort to shake his rule, should not tell him, the complaints of the people.Princess Katrina Kaaf sighed, "Even if we don't compromise with the British, they can't do anything about us. ”President Meng smiled: "This is not a vindictive thing, this is politics, it is diplomacy, it has been so consumed, even if it takes another two or three years, we should be able to hold on, but in these two or three years, we can not develop, two or three years later, we will still be defeated by the British, since defeat is unavoidable, there is no need to insist anymore, this is not a world war, this is just a war between us and the British, it is a local war." ”Princess Katrina Kafu stopped talking, but in her heart, she still didn't agree with President Moe's compromise.Jiegege smiled: "President, don't you have a very hard mouth, you use deception to the imperial court, kneel to foreigners, I understand, this is to revitalize China, a good revitalization." ”President Meng shut up helplessly, and now, he can think of what kind of gossip will be among the people, as well as within the Huacui Party.President Meng under tremendous pressure, finally ushered in the success of negotiations with the British, the British finally weighed, agreed to President Meng's request to obtain the Guangdong region west of the Xijiang River, so that Britain has a piece of its own continent, and can be completely connected with Hainan This is the mainland in the hinterland of China, and the colonies of Nanyang are simply incomparable, Nanyang's Iwan hectares of land, is not comparable to China's 100 hectares of land, and Xuan Yue Meng is willing to pay 10 million taels, which is enough to offset their investment in Hong Kong over the years, The government has money, and as for the wealth of those British businessmen confiscated by President Meng, even if the British government accompanies it, it will pay at most one-third to one-quarter, and the government is still willing to do so.t1706231537:
