Chapter 924, Conditions
Yuyuki Hamaguchi took a deep breath, tried his best to control his emotions in his heart, and said: "Your Excellency Vice President, when you come today, you will naturally give some explanations about the assassination of your head of state, but what is happening in the Hankou Concession..."
Feng Guozhang interrupted him and said, "There is no longer any of you people in the Hankou Concession."
Yuyu Hamaguchi swallowed a saliva and said patiently: "Yes, yes, as you said. In fact, after receiving the notice from the Nanjing Central Government, I have contacted the country to negotiate the aftermath of the concession. However, your country is obviously too abrupt. It only took a day to dispatch troops to force the concession to recover the concession, which is inconsistent with both emotion and reason."
Feng Guozhang sneered: "We, the *** team, do we have to explain to you when we do things on our own land?"
Yuyuki Hamaguchi's face was gloomy. He said calmly: "Before the formal talks, I strongly request that the Vice President be able to start from the spirit of international morality to ensure the safety of our Hankou expatriates and diplomats, and to hand these people over to our embassy for resettlement as soon as possible."
Feng Guozhang said expressionlessly: "Your request is reasonable, but I'm sorry, I have said that at this time I don't want to talk about the Hankou Concession. How many times do you need me to repeat?"
Lu Zongyu added: "Mr. Binkou Minister, regarding the aftermath of the Japanese Concession in Hankou, after the assassination of our head of state assassination, we will definitely talk to this matter specifically. So, please understand now!"
Yuyuki Hamaguchi was a little unable to control his anger. Facing the arrogant and unreasonable Chinese in front of him, he felt as if he was in a country without civilization. He took a deep breath and said coldly: "I hope you can understand that our *** government is already very shocked by the assassination of the head of state of your country. Almost all resources can be mobilized to verify the matter. However, your current practice is obviously unsatisfactory, and our *** people's attitude towards your country has shown mania. If the Hankou incident cannot be properly handled, I believe that a great anti-Chinese *** will break out in ***. How should our *** official ensure the safety of Chinese in Japan?"
Feng Guozhang narrowed his eyes and asked in a stressful tone: "Are you threatening me?"
However, Lu Zongyu, who was standing beside him, looked indifferent and even had a sarcastic smile.
Hamaguchi Yuyuki said seriously: "Although our government can understand your current sentiment, just as the Chinese people conduct protests every day in the embassy area, our citizens are also patriotic."
Lu Zongyu sighed and said helplessly: "Mr. Binkou, I really don't know why you have to argue about these issues without any advantages. Can't you focus more on solving substantive problems?
Hamaguchi Yuyuki asked with a cold face: "What do you mean?"
Lu Zongyu said carelessly: "If I had known you would have done this, our head of state had already sent a telegram last night. Our head of state was still angry. He specifically told us that if we dared to hurt our citizens of the Republic of China in the country, we would return it ten times."
Yuzi County, who had not spoken, spoke at this time: "The number of expatriates in China has exceeded 70,000 according to incomplete statistics. According to the original words of our head of state, once the *** people dare to make conspiracies, no one of these 70,000 expatriates will leave China alive." He looked like a scholar studying in his school, his tone without any emotion.
Oyuki Hamaguchi was shocked and said in surprise: "How dare you!"
Feng Guozhang said coldly: "***Since even our head of state dares to assassinate, what can we do?"
Hamaguchi Yuyuki's body was trembling slightly. He had to take a few deep breaths to control his emotions. Diplomacy with these thoroughly savages really drove him crazy.
"I will definitely convey the meaning of your head of state back to the country in its entirety. I sincerely hope that your country's remarks will be a result of careful consideration," he said mechanically.
"So, Mr. Minister, do you have any topics we want to talk about now?" Feng Guozhang asked a little impatiently. Although he didn't want to be more gangster-threatening in diplomacy, he always thought that he was superior to others, so he had to talk to these people according to Wu Shaoting's instructions.
"Yes," Hamaguchi Yuyuki could only choose to speak in accordance with the rules after a bitter debate. In fact, he did not receive clear instructions from the country, but received a telegram forwarded from the Governor of North Korea in the early morning. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs only gave a code of conduct, requiring himself to prevent China from launching a war at this time at any time. Now he can only implement it according to this code of conduct. "my country has conducted a preliminary investigation. Neither the Ministry of Army nor the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there is any direct or indirect order to require Akiho Nakamura to carry out a conspiracy to undermine Sino-Japanese relations. Furthermore, the day before yesterday, the Chief Cabinet of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also held a public press conference, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not even dispatch Akiho Nakamura to the three eastern provinces..."
"Can you say something we don't know?" Feng Guozhang interrupted the other party directly.
"We will recognize Akihiro Nakamura's official identity, but we will never admit that there is any official connection to this assassination." Hamaguchi Yuyuki emphasized seriously.
"Mr. Hamaguchi, do you know how the European War was triggered? A Serbian nationalist youth assassinated the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This young man also had no official background, but the result was that the whole of Europe was trapped in an unprecedented war. Now, since you have recognized Akihiro Nakamura's official identity, I can tell you clearly that this is the result we want!" Feng Guozhang said majesticly. After saying that, he suddenly stood up and prepared to end the talks.
"Please wait." Hamaguchi Yuki said hurriedly.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Feng Guozhang did not turn around and tidied up his collar with his back to Hamaguchi Yuyuki.
"I am very sorry for the assassination of your head of state this time. This is a surprise. Besides, your head of state is safe and unforgettable. Our *** government hopes to repair it with your country to avoid friction and conflicts between Asian neighbors due to misunderstandings. Just imagine, the conflicts between China and Japan will ultimately benefit the Western powers. Why bother?" Hamaguchi Yuki said jokingly.
"You want to convince me to give up on your investigation? It's so funny. Why did Mr. Hamaguchi bring so many ridiculous jokes today?" Feng Guozhang said teasingly.
"Of course this is not the case. As long as Head of State Wu Shaoting is willing to accept the apology from our country, our country will do its best to provide compensation for the accident." Yuyuki Hamaguchi took out his trump card and said.
"Is that true? Do you know how to compensate the assassination of the head of state? Do you really think this matter is so simple?" Although Feng Guozhang's tone was still as contemptuous as ever, he turned around when he said this.
"I am very clear that this incident has a great impact on your country, but please believe that this is indeed an accident. For this reason, our Emperor of Great *** Empire is willing to issue a public apology, and at the same time, in order to do its best to repair Sino-Japanese relations, we can achieve the purpose of compensation through other conditions exchanges." Yuyuki Hamaguchi said with a sincere attitude.
"I want to hear this new thing, how do you *** country plan to compensate." Feng Guozhang said teasingly. His attitude when he said this seemed to be waiting to hear a joke, rather than sincerely willing to accept Hamaguchi Yuyuki's statement.
Of course Yuyuki Hamaguchi was not a fool. He naturally heard a kind of joke from Feng Guozhang's tone. Even though he was very unhappy, he had long been accustomed to the attitude of Chinese officials. Is there any temper that can be vented at this time? He calmly and carefully calculated the words in his mind, and decided to first open up his conditions and then see if there is a turning point.
"About your government's return of all concessions in China by *** and the cancellation of all treaties signed by *** and the former government, after consultations by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we decided to accept these conditions and complete all procedures within one month, close the Concession Administration and withdraw all official organs of the Concession. At the same time, we are willing to sell the operating rights of the South Manchuria Railway to your country at market prices." As Hamaguchi Yuyuki said, he carefully observed Feng Guozhang's expression.
"It's really a waste of time." Feng Guozhang laughed sarcastically and prepared to turn around and leave again.
"Please allow me to finish my sentence." Hamaguchi Yuyuki said quickly.
