"You come to talk to me with sincerity, haha, that's great *** I don't want you Westerners to think that China is a barbaric country, and before you meet the envoys from the mission, I just personally question the talk, but I will never stop you from speaking because of this doubt. I would like to listen now, how Marshal France intends to talk to us?"

Wu Shaoting said, slowly walked to the other end of the conference table and sat down. This action was obviously an indication that Rohard himself had improved his attitude.

Rohard adjusted his sitting posture again, and the expression on his face gradually calmed down from his previous indignation. After taking a breath, he spoke in a slow tone: "General French hopes to resolve the conflict between the British Empire and your country through a diplomatic method. Maybe we can say it from another perspective. Starting from the founding of the Nanjing Central Government, our British Empire has never been hostile to your country. On the contrary, he actively established diplomatic relations with you, hoping to restore the peace of the situation in the Far East."

Wu Shaoting did not show any recognition. Although from a diplomatic perspective, Britain and China did further deepen their conflicts of interest, just hoping to maintain the status quo of the Far East situation, if we pursue the slightest, with the crazy overseas colonization of Britain, if China wants to gain complete national sovereignty, it will be a small matter sooner or later that it will be a small matter with the concession, but the problems between ** and Hong Kong are big matters.

Therefore, in his opinion, Rohard's words were completely unreasonable and meaningless.

He asked back with a sneer: "Is that true? Your British Empire secretly supported Japan's troops to Qingdao, and then continued to assist Japan in the Sino-Japanese War. Isn't this a conflict?"

Rohard had long expected Wu Shaoting to question this, so he said: "Haoke, our British Empire and Japan are allies of the Allied Powers. In the overall situation of the Allied Powers, it is reasonable for us to support allied Powers. Moreover, before the Qingdao War, when Germany handed over Qingdao sovereignty to your government, our British Empire no longer continued to ask Japan to attack Qingdao. The outbreak of the Qingdao War was a unilateral action of Japan."

Wu Shaoting knew much more about the diplomatic internal affairs of the Qingdao War than Rohard. He went to the British Embassy in person to lobby Juerdian to adopt a neutral attitude, but the so-called neutral attitude was only superficial. None of the materials and arms that Britain should support was left behind.

"You don't have to say this nonsense to me anymore. I don't want to listen to any reason or explanation. I just want to listen to Marshal France's peace negotiation plan now." He was too lazy to continue to argue with the other party about these meaningless topics. He knew that Rohard wanted to weaken the conflict between China and Britain first, and then take the opportunity to increase the bargaining chips for negotiation, but he was not that stupid. The so-called contradictions are ultimately linked to interests, and the bargaining chips for negotiation cannot be decided by the other party.

"As long as the Head of State is willing to cease the war, Marshal France is willing to promote the British Empire government to recognize the national sovereignty of Vietnam, Ryukyu and North Korea, and also recognize China's identity as a protector to Siam, Myanmar, Khmer, Laos and other countries." After a series of conversations before, Rohard already knew that Wu Shaoting was a difficult character. If he wanted to talk and bargain with the other party, he would make the other party impatient. Therefore, he had no other way, and could only tell his chips all over his body.

According to Rohard's opinion, as long as China agrees to negotiate peace with the British government, the British government will recognize that China's sphere of influence in South Asia is actually a concession after the failure of the colonial struggle, and it also means that there is no need to continue the war in Myanmar and Siam. These South Asian countries are directly classified as China's circle of interests.

Wu Shaoting is not a war madman, especially in recent years of continuous foreign wars, which made him gradually realize that the huge national power suffered by the war can avoid war while ensuring the benefits. It is natural to avoid it. It has to be said that if the British Empire could only exchange ceasefires with Burma, Siam and other countries, this deal is still worth discussing.

After all, the Chinese team did not intend to conquer India. All military operations in South Asia were to expand the circle of interests.

Now you can get the previous purpose of gaining the benefits without fighting, so why not do it?

Instead of wasting so many resources to launch a war, it is better to concentrate resources on the consolidation of the post-war circle of power and domestic industrial construction, which will allow China to achieve double development in a certain period of time.

Not only that, Wu Shaoting has begun to be wary of the ambition of the "big brother" of the Allied Powers. Once the German Empire wins the First World War, its domestic expansion will inevitably rise to another level. The future pattern and development trend of the whole world are unpredictable.

Coupled with the recent small actions made by Germany in China, Wu Shaoting increasingly doubts about Germany's intentions towards China.

Therefore, Wu Shaoting did not hope that Germany could win this war "easy" from the bottom of his heart

Once China and the UK reach peace talks, Britain will be able to concentrate more resources and energy to deal with the European battlefield. Even if the situation on the European battlefield is one-sided, it will cause more losses to Germany.

At this stage of the development of the world war, he would rather make Europe more and more chaotic and get deeper and deeper. Anyway, the situation in Asia has been settled, and China's most important interests are taken into account. There is no need to worry too much about the situation in Europe. Now China's contribution to the allies has been huge. In Asia, it defeated the first Allied country and restrained the British and French forces in South Asia. Now in the Wulianghai area, it is forcing Tsarist Russia to withdraw its troops from Europe.

Whether from a strategic or political perspective, these have greatly promoted the progress of the Allies.

Although all this was what Wu Shaoting thought, if it was really so easy to achieve, would he still have to spend so much effort to launch one war after another?

"Mr. Rohard, you said from beginning to end that you are representing Marshal France to negotiate with me, but in my opinion, the final decision does not seem to be in the hands of Marshal France. Why should I believe you or Marshal France?" Wu Shaoting asked with a cold smile.

"I believe that the noble Head of State is foresighted. Since you can obtain such great benefits, your country should show certain courage to take risks. Marshal France has reported the situation in South Asia in detail to London. As the highest commander of the front line, Marshal France's analysis will definitely attract widespread attention. Only in this way can the war not appear blind." Rohard said solemnly

"How could I know if this is a good delaying strategy for you to collude? Why should I take this risk? The situation on the battlefield is very beneficial to us. It is only a matter of time before our Chinese army conquered Siam and pacified Myanmar. I have the ability to win this war, so why should I take risks?" Wu Shaoting said with a sneer.

"His Excellency, Marshal France needs a ceasefire agreement. Even though Myanmar and Siam are under the control of your team, they cannot fully control these places. Once you are willing to sign this ceasefire agreement, once it is announced, Siam and Myanmar will know what happened. The remaining war can be avoided. Even if Marshal France returns at that time, or if I, the British Empire, refuse to admit this peace agreement, for the local governments of South Asian countries, they have no reason to insist on resisting." Rohard said seriously.
