0733 Twenty Years

"Our Great Japanese Empire Emperor, I hope that President Moe can give up the Osumi Islands. As for Ryukyu, we can admit that we belong to China. This is already the greatest sincerity." Hirofumi Ito continued to bow.

The cute president smiled slightly, "It's much better than the last time. This time, don't you emphasize how many troops you can still produce?"

Ito Hirofumi was embarrassed and didn't make any noise.

President Meng continued: "But this condition is much worse than my price. Although it solved the Taiwan problem, my price has not increased and there has been no change. I still ask you to compensate me for five million taels of Chinese official silver! And open all Japanese ports to China, and we enjoy the same power as the British! As for the land, the land in my hands, have you heard of what I spit out? I don't spit out even if I eat the land of the British, let alone your little Japan?"

"This condition is too harsh. President Meng, please be polite to your friends. We really hope to be good friends with China." Hirobu Ito did not expect that Xuan Yuemeng would not make any concessions at all. "For anything else, it is impossible to pay compensation. Our losses are much greater than that of China. In addition, opening a port can be done with the same conditions and based on mutual benefit. The trade tariffs between us and the British are unequal, just like the terms signed by your Qing government and foreigners. Let me ask, can the Qing court give the Japanese the same treatment as the British?"

Ito Hirofumi had a cold face, and was neither humble nor arrogant.

The cute CEO laughed: "Then you shouldn't come this time! There is nothing to talk about here. You are unwilling to pay compensation or open the port. Let us enjoy the most-favored-nation treatment like the British. What are you doing? Are you quarreling with me if you have nothing to do?"

Princess Katrina Kaif and Liu Yuqing also covered their mouths and smiled.

Hirobu Ito and a group of members of the Japanese delegation felt great humiliation and were very angry, but this time, they were not as arrogant as last time and left as they said they could. Instead, they kept bowing and begging the cute president to lower the negotiation conditions.

The Japanese were talking nonsense for a few minutes, and the cute president ignored them, as if he was very patient, and just looked at these people quietly, as if he was looking at monkeys.

The cute president smiled and said, "Forget it, it seems that you are unwilling to tell your bottom line, or you feel that your bottom line is too far from what I ask for. Okay, you go, let's continue to fight."

Hirobu Ito looked at the cute CEO in shock and continued to fight? Didn’t it just finish the fight? Even though Xuan Yuemeng has a fleet, there is no industry or economy in the surrounding waters of Japan. How many benefits can you get from fighting? This is the saying of Douqi.

However, Japan had no naval power at this time, and was arrested by the cute president, and Hirobuki Ito had no choice.

"President Meng, our bottom line can admit that Ryukyu and Osumi Islands are both from China, and they can also compensate one million taels of Chinese official silver! However, trade tariffs cannot be concessions!" Hirofumi Ito gritted his teeth and took out Emperor Meiji's handwritten letter.

The cute president knew that this was the Japanese's last bottom line, which was reasonable, but he shook his head and smiled: "Although Ito, you are really sincere, your conditions are too far from my requirements. Whether you do business with you or not, our China really doesn't matter, but we must obtain this trade power. In the future, all Asian countries dealing with our China must recognize the same status as our China and the United Kingdom! This is not aimed at Japan! This article cannot be changed. As for the compensation, one million taels is only one hundred taels. The person who saves the blame is that we are unreasonable, and I have made the final concession, otherwise the negotiations will be terminated forever!"

How much is a one-time compensation is a temporary pain. Both the cute president and Hirofumi Ito are very clear that unequal trade tariffs are the throat and the place where the two sides cannot make concessions in negotiations! Especially China, after controlling the Osumi Islands and Ryukyu, it is very convenient to travel between Japan. As long as Taiwan's industry improves slightly, Japan may not even compete with China in Asia, not to mention that it is a small Taiwan that is behind Taiwan, not to mention that the rich Chinese Jiangnan is supported.

"President Meng, we have signed a trade agreement with the Qing Dynasty. Can't we use that agreement as a reference? Of course, we can make a little concession. As for the port, we open four, and China also open four." Hirobuki Ito bowed.

The cute president smiled and shook his head, "I'm not buying vegetables in the vegetable market. This is my last price! There is no room for bargaining! What are you afraid of? We enjoy the same treatment as the British, but I don't ask to sell opium in Japan. I'm doing business seriously. Don't you do it yourself? In addition, your ethnic group is single and a self-sufficient agricultural society. To be honest, I don't care about doing business with you in Japan. My market is very big! What I want is this face. Whoever makes me lose face will not let anyone live."

The cute president's attitude was extremely arrogant and arrogant. A group of members of the Japanese delegation were shouting that they were leaving. Hirobuki Ito raised his hand, suppressed the opposition, and bowed to the cute president: "Mr. President, I understand your bottom line. I don't have the right to reply to Mr. President. I finally asked, if this agreement is agreed, how long will it be?"

"The period of the non-aggression treaty is ten years!" The cute president smiled: "It's long enough? Ten years is enough for your Meiji Restoration to achieve results!"

Hirobu Ito frowned, "Ten years, in the blink of an eye, Mr. President, for at least thirty years, we hope to be good friends with China for a long time."

The cute president laughed and said, "It's only ten years."

Hirobu Ito frowned, "Mr. President, the time is too short. How about twenty-five years?"

The cute president smiled and said, "Is a quarter of a century too long? Ten years is not short, Ito-kun, are you so unconfident in your country? I am very confident in Japan. Ten years is enough for you to develop your arms!"

Hirobu Ito looked at President Meng with deep eyes. He didn't understand why Xuan Yuemeng must put Japan in a hostile position. Even if there is a dispute between Ryukyu and North Korea, in general, Japan cannot pose a threat to anyone at present? He really couldn't understand. Besides, for Xuan Yuemeng, his biggest enemy is not Japan now.

"Mr. President, I am not representing me personally. I am representing the Government of the Imperial Japan and the people of Japan for at least twenty years. Otherwise, I will not be able to negotiate with my government." Hirofumi Ito bowed deeply and cried. "Mr. President, although it is impossible to reach an agreement this time, I hope Mr. President, I must agree to this request."
