"Encourage all, please sit down." Dengson shook hands with the representatives of the countries one by one, and then invited them to sit down one after another.
After everyone sat down, Maizhe, the US ambassador to China and consul of Shanghai, picked up a document and said to everyone: "According to our discussion, we believe that this incident was a harsh and barbaric invasion war. Japan ignored the interests of our countries in China and launched a war, disregarding the advice of our countries, causing great damage to the Jiangsu and Anhui regions. Therefore, the countries unanimously decided to compensate the Jiangsu and Anhui government for 5 million pounds of war compensation and compensate the Jiangsu and Anhui government for losses. At the same time, the Jiangsu and Anhui government released and repatriated 47,684 captured soldiers from Japan, and returned the bodies of the Japanese generals who committed suicide and died in their country."
"We are willing to accept this compensation, but we need to hand over the compensation to the Chinese central government, but not to a local government." Japan's new ambassador wants to find a breakthrough here. The Jiangsu-Anhui government is only the Jiangsu-Anhui regional government and cannot represent the entire China. If the money falls in Beiyang, they can use some methods to get most of the funds back.
"Lin Taro's husband, what you said is right. The Japanese government can give compensation to the Beiyang government, but we can also refuse to return the prisoners. I think tens of thousands of prisoners can also bring us a considerable income every year." Li Xing, the Propaganda Department and Foreign Minister of the Jiangsu and Anhui Government, retaliated against the Japanese ambassador.
"Husband Li Xing, you should know that your China's compensation has not been fulfilled. If you want war compensation, now you owed our Japanese Empire 76 million taels of silver, totaling more than 50 million US dollars." The Japanese ambassador held a complaint agreement signed by the Qing government with Japan. This action made Deng Sen's face turn blue, and made all the envoys present secretly anxious and cursed this guy, not mentioning the pot. Deng Sen was a complete nationalist in everyone's eyes. The Japanese actually forced Deng Sen to force him to use a treaty signed with the Manchus. Isn't this force Deng Sen to get angry?
"What you hold is the terms of the Qing government, which I do not recognize by the Jiangsu and Anhui governments, especially for second-rate countries like you. If you cannot change the ideas of your government, then I think this war is not over yet." Li Xing adhered to Deng Sen's will and did not make any concessions.
"You..." The Japanese ambassador looked at Li Xing angrily, but Li Xing did not react at all and sat down directly because he knew that there was no more things he had done afterwards.
"Okay, you can sit down. Now let me tell you that this war occurred between our Jiangsu and Anhui governments and the Japanese government. In terms of military strength, we are not weaker than Japan. In terms of territory, we are two or three times larger than Japan. In terms of population, we are twice as large as Japan. Then, if the war breaks out in our territory, Japan must pay war compensation to us. Now it is clear that it is not compensation, but war compensation. Of course, we cannot control the will of the Japanese government, but as long as the compensation is less than a day, Japanese soldiers will lose the treatment they deserve, compensate for their previous war behavior and the damage brought to northern Jiangsu." Deng Sen took over Li Xing's words and directly responded to the decision of the Japanese government, that is, you can give the money to Yuan Shikai, but I will not release even a prisoner. At the same time, comparing the gap between Jiangsu and Anhui and Japan, that is, the territory and population. Of course, the population of Jiangsu and Anhui is only more than 60 million, which is about 20 million more than Japan.
"God, we are negotiating, not declaring war. We still decide that the Japanese government must hand over the war reparations to the Su-Anhui government. At the same time, the Japanese government reparations will be paid by our British Empire. At the same time, we will take out General Dunson's development proposal to study." The great powers have long received notification from their respective governments, which is to give up Japan, and the British minister directly sentenced Japan to death. Don't you not give it? I'll give it to you, anyway, you borrowed 10 million from me.
The Japanese ambassador could not resist. Now the great powers control Japan's lifeline and they decide everything about Japan.
In the end, all the ambassadors of the country focused on the development bill, which in their opinion was undoubtedly a large banquet held by the Su-Anhui government.
The largest iron smelting plant in the Far East was built by the UK, and all the minerals in Jiangsu and Anhui were jointly developed by Britain, France, Germany and the United States. If a country takes the lead in discovering minerals and supports the mining of the Jiangsu and Anhui government, it will receive half of the preferential resources in addition to investment loans. That is to say, as long as a country discovers a mineral, whether it is an iron or coal mine, it can acquire half of its output at a price lower than 30% of the market price, which means that the discovery country can earn 30% of the profit for nothing, which is also Deng Sen's investment in construction.
In addition, support countries in building non-people's livelihood factories in Jiangsu and Anhui, that is, various military industrial factories. Of course, countries are not very interested in this policy because they have no need for this.
In the Tariff Act, countries recognize the rule of Jiangsu and Anhui governments over Jiangsu and Anhui. At the same time, the Su and Anhui governments have all government powers in their territory, that is, the Su and Anhui governments have tax, tariffs, laws and other authority. The Yangtze River waterway from Pengze to the estuary of the Yangtze River belongs to the Su and Anhui governments. On the river, the Jiangsu and Anhui governments have management rights and tariff rights, which are recognized by all countries. At the same time, Britain, Germany and the United States are designated as the most-favored countries in Jiangsu and Anhui and enjoy the minimum tariff policy.
Dunson can be said to have gotten back a lot of things. In fact, Britain was not going to give up in the Yangtze River Basin, but they could only give up their privileges in the face of the Iron Blood Army, which had the advantage of the ground troops. Fortunately, Dunson had no intention of challenging the British Empire and gave Britain the most-favored-nation treatment.
"Dear everyone, we have three developments, namely the Lianyungang Port Development Case. This port is built as a military-civilian dual-use port. The estimated total investment is 16 million pounds. Our government invests 5 million pounds. Others are bidding for external bids as shareholding models. For countries with more than 10% of their shares, they have the right to formulate fees for civilian ports. 20% of their shares have the power to dock and repair the naval fleet. At the same time, they have reached a strategic alliance with our Jiangsu and Anhui government to carry out all military operations within the Far East.
The second development is the construction of the Jiangsu-Anhui Railway Line, with an estimated total investment of 26 million pounds, and our Jiangsu-Anhui government invested 10 million pounds. Others are invested worldwide by share tendering. The Jiangsu-Anhui Railway is 3,300 kilometers long and surrounds the two provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui. It holds more than 20% of the shares. It has the right to formulate operations and fare prices, and dividends are distributed every year according to shares.
The third development is divided into two parts and one is the Yangtze River Bridge project, namely the construction of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge and the Anqing Bridge. It is expected to invest 5.6 million pounds. Of course, we will bid for the whole world. This bridge requires all steel structures. In addition, our Jiangsu and Anqing government decided to build three industrial zones, namely Nanjing Industrial Zone, Xuzhou Industrial Zone, and Anqing Industrial Zone. The three large industrial zones will open up all foreign funds." Deng Sen finished all the future construction drafts in one go. This was a proposal announced to the public, and it was also a win-win proposal. In order to attract foreign investment and create employment, of course, if a war occurs, such as a certain investor country and the Jiangsu and Anqing government are in a wartime state, Deng Sen would confiscate its assets without hesitation.
After what Dengsen said ended, the great powers began to discuss. In the past, China's Yangtze River Basin was monopolized by the United Kingdom. At this time, Dengsen's development plan gave all countries the opportunity to make profits, especially the United States, Germany, Britain and France, which are determined to win in industrial areas, railways and bridges. You must know that these large-scale construction can make a lot of profits, and can also have a closer relationship with the Jiangsu and Anhui government, and may even control the lifeline of the Jiangsu and Anhui government.
The meeting lasted four and a half hours. Although countries did not reach too many intention agreements, Dengson knew that great development was coming. Just like later generations, European and American countries needed a large population of China as a commodity dumping base, and China's huge population could provide a large number of cheap workers.
At the end of November, Japan's war reparations and the war end agreement were signed. Japan admitted its defeat and the United Kingdom advanced the reparations of 5 million pounds. The Su-Anhui government released all prisoners of war.
At the same time, Jiangsu and Anhui signed a military cooperation agreement with Germany, aiming to cooperate in military weapons development and tactical research.
A Sino-US business agreement bill was reached with the United States, and the United States acquired all the products produced in Jiangsu and Anhui regions and provided technical and mechanical support for the Jiangsu and Anhui regions.
The Jiangsu-Anhui government and the UK signed a framework agreement on the Yangtze River Coastal Cooperation, which is to help the Jiangsu-Anhui government build a modern new type of navy. However, the agreement stipulates that the Jiangsu-Anhui navy must be trained by the British navy, and ships must be purchased in the UK except for previous needs.
Later, a series of commercial military regulations were signed with Belgium, Denmark and other countries. Among them, the railway construction rights were obtained by the United States, and the bridge construction was taken over by France. As for industrial areas, it was poured into capital by various countries, which was exactly what Dunson needed. At the same time, Dunson ordered the conquering departments to promulgate the Commercial Law and Labor Law to supervise the wage payment of factory owners to protect the interests of workers. At the same time, political documents were issued again, requiring the Ministry of Civil Affairs to resume agricultural production in Subei as soon as possible, and the Ministry of Commerce injected a large amount of funds again, and took advantage of the great development period when foreign funds were influx of funds.
In short, this was a successful war and a successful negotiation. The Chinese nation achieved absolute victory in the foreign war for the first time and received a large amount of compensation. At the same time, there was also fierce debate on Dengson's introduction of foreign capital. Some said that Dengson was another Li Hongzhang, and some said that Dengson's reform pace was avant-garde and wise. In short, it was mixed, but under the light of victory in the Great War, it did not affect Dengson's reputation.
At the same time, the results of the Sino-Japanese War were reported all over the world. The results of the war surprised all Western countries. At the same time, their eyes began to change when they looked at the Chinese living in the country, and they also set off an iron-blooded atmosphere in Nanyang. They were closest to China and most affected by the Iron-blooded Army. Many overseas Chinese took over land factories and returned to China to invest in Jiangsu and Anhui. Just ten days later, the Dutch government issued a law prohibiting overseas Chinese from evacuating funds, which also became the fuse of the later war between Jiangsu and Anhui.
