Red Alert 1895: Chapter 433 Sino-Spanish Treaty

In the next few days, Wang Guorui also began to rest, and occasionally went to cheer for Duncan. As for Duncan, he left the Netherlands soon, and went to perform elsewhere in Europe. Wang Guorui was very relieved, because now the entire upper class in Europe probably knew that Duncan was his woman, so naturally no nobleman would touch her. Wang Guorui is not worried about whether she can become that dancer like in the original history, because she can become an excellent dancer without herself in the original history, let alone now with her own support? And with your own support, everything is very simple.

And then, the negotiations with Spain are still in full swing, and the Spaniards continue to retreat. Because Taiwan had no intention of negotiating with them at all, Taiwan continued to engage in rogue tactics with the Spaniards. Anyway, no matter what Spain says, Taiwan is playing a rascal, and it is impossible to spit out something that has already reached the mouth. As for the next step, the Spaniards will give it if they want to, and if they don't want to give it, that's all. As for the Spaniard's proposal to return those prisoners of war first, Taiwan will definitely not give it.

However, Taiwan proposed a package plan. Anyway, the issue of prisoners of war must be resolved together with the issue of the Philippines. If the issue of the Philippines is not resolved, the issue of prisoners of war will not be discussed. Even after that, Wang Guorui spent money and asked a small number of "gunmen" to write articles for him in Spanish newspapers, and then said how miserable the prisoner-of-war camp was and how difficult the lives of those prisoners of war were. In the end, many people in Spain began to carry out so-called demonstrations. I hope that the government will resolve the war issue with Taiwan as soon as possible, and then let the soldiers go home and reunite with their families.

This is really troublesome. The Spanish government not only has to face Taiwan's shamelessness. They also have to face the pressure of the people in their own country, so that they will soon be unable to bear the pressure. They simply cannot get a solution as soon as possible, and in the end they can only choose to compromise.

The British minister looked at the draft "China-Spain Conflict Resolution Treaty", referred to as the "China-Spain Treaty", and couldn't help but feel very toothache. But he can only accept this result, because he failed completely when he came to help Spain sideline this time, because Taiwan did not talk with them at all. Directly using rogue and rogue methods to solve the problem made them such diplomats very toothache. But in the end they could only compromise. In the end, that's all there is to it.

"The treaty between China and Spain on conflict resolution, the text of the treaty follows."

"First, this conflict was caused by a serious command error by the Spanish military commander. The Spanish side must punish the naval commander who caused the incident. And the Chinese side must send someone to observe the trial process."

"Article 2, China will purchase the Philippine Islands occupied by China in this conflict with two million taels of silver. From now on, the ownership of the Philippine Islands will belong to China, and Spain will no longer have sovereignty over the Philippines."

"Article 3, Spain pays the living expenses of the prisoners of war, as well as the ransom fee, a total of two million taels of silver to China, and China releases the captured Spanish prisoners of war."

"Article 4, the cost paid by China for the purchase of the Philippine Islands and the cost paid by Spain for the redemption of prisoners of war are exactly offset. Taiwan directly releases Spanish prisoners of war as an offset for the purchase cost."

"Article 5, this conflict between China and Spain ends here. The two sides will continue to maintain peace, and the two sides cannot continue to use this as an excuse to continue to provoke."

These treaties are very simple, much less than the hundreds of thousands of commercial treaties in later generations. But this also shows that international exchanges are actually very simple. As long as you have the strength, you are not afraid of the other party's repudiation, and you are not afraid of the other party taking advantage of the loopholes in the treaty. So the treaty is very simple instead, without too many circles. Write down the problem directly, and you are not afraid that the loser will renege on the debt. If you are weak. Even if you make the treaty full of flowers, it will be useless for others to tear it up easily in the end. So once it comes to the international treaty, the content of the treaty becomes back to basics, very simple and easy to understand.

Next, the British envoy asked: "Do you have any comments next? This is a treaty drawn up by you yourself. Do you all agree? If you agree, then we will sign the treaty under the witness of our British Empire envoy. "

This treaty actually left the Spaniards with the last "pants" so that they could hide their shame. This time it seems that the Spaniards did not actually cede the land, but sold it to Taiwan for two million taels of silver, but just thinking about the resources in the Philippines, it is enough to know that the two million taels of silver is simply begging of. Even the ransom that Taiwan asked the Philippines to pay for the prisoners of war was two million taels. In fact, the two sides just offset each other's money, and the Philippines didn't get a penny. And the Philippines lost tens of thousands of soldiers this time, so they have to do things like pensions, which is supposed to be a loss to grandma's house.

However, Taiwan's losses were not large, at most it was some fake broken ships, and there were some soldiers. At least half of the more than 1,000 soldiers lost were cloned soldiers of the Red Police. In fact, there was no real compensation, and the cost was only a hundred silver dollars at most. And what you paid was the cost of some guns and ammunition, but compared to those resources in the Philippines, everyone thought it was worth it this time, because the Philippines is simply an island made of copper, and it is also a place with a lot of gold. With the Philippines mining gold by itself, it is enough to give its own currency a very strong reputation.

Spain, on the other hand, can only accept this bitter fruit, and can only endure it. Since they couldn't take back those Philippines, they naturally wanted to bring those prisoners of war home. If the prisoners of war cannot be brought home for a long time, I am afraid that the relatives and friends of those prisoners of war will all oppose their government. At that time, each person has a negative vote, which is enough to make them drink a pot. Although ordinary people do not have the right to vote, the important thing is that not all capitalists are so black-hearted and are willing to sit and watch their own country's notifications and suffer abroad for a long time. And since the land is doomed to be lost, it is better to let the soldiers and compatriots of one's own country come back here as soon as possible, so that they can live a good life and will not continue to do hard work in foreign countries.

As for colonies and so on, many ordinary people in the country don't care. This means that the **** decides the head, and ordinary people are also ruled, so they don't care about colonial affairs. Those who have colonies are also ruled, and those who do not have colonies are also ruled, so they care about the colonies and do not care about their own families. Anyway, the colony is not the territory of one's own country. In the eyes of many people, the status of the colony cannot be compared with the territory of the motherland, so it is not so heartbreaking to cede it.

"Okay, we agree!" Wang Guorui said.

"And we all agreed!" said the Spanish foreign minister.

Soon, the Spanish foreign minister was the first to sign the treaty.

Next, Wang Guorui also began to write down his official name.

"The Minister of Imperial Envoy and Plenipotentiary of China, the Minister of Commerce and Industry of Nanyang, the Protector of the Metropolitan Government of Nanyang, and the Governor of Taiwan Wang Guorui."

"China's imperial envoy and plenipotentiary, Zhang Jing, head of the Prime Minister's Office of International Affairs, and Yao Wendong, director of the Taiwan Governor's Office for Foreign Relations."

When Wang Guorui and Yao Wendong signed and put their seals on it, the treaty can be considered as completed. After the signing is completed, the Philippines will belong to China from now on, and it will have nothing to do with Spain. And this is also the first piece of land that China has really snatched from foreign devils, and it is the first piece of land that China has officially obtained through a treaty. And although Taiwan occupied Borneo first, the occupation that just did not sign a cession treaty did not completely belong to China. But this Philippines has signed the treaty, and it has completely belonged to China. And because this treaty was signed in Amsterdam, it is also called the "Treaty of Central and Western Amsterdam".

After the signing of the treaty was completed, the Spanish foreign minister left on his own initiative, and the British ministers who were witnesses also left.

"Your Excellency, Spain has suffered a huge loss this time, and this sneak attack plan was proposed by you, and then connected with other countries to cooperate. But now not only has no effect, but it has caused us a huge loss~www.mtlnovel.com ~Your British Empire should be responsible for helping to the end!" said the Spanish foreign minister.

The British Minister immediately said: "Don't worry, my British Empire will help people to the end, so you don't have to worry. We are now actively preparing for the British Empire. As long as Taiwan is defeated by then, everything can be resolved." Now, you can all go back to the Philippines by then."

"Could it be that the British Empire is finally going to war against Taiwan?" the Spanish Foreign Minister asked excitedly.

The British envoy immediately said: "This is a secret of the empire, and I don't know."

"Old fox, your tone is so strict!" the Spanish foreign minister cursed secretly.

However, the words of the British minister gave the Spanish foreign minister great confidence, because if the UK really made up its mind to go to war, then everything would be explained. At that time, they will be able to take care of Taiwan. Not only will they want to take back the Philippines, but they will also be able to make Taiwan spit out its capital and profits.

They believe that as long as the British Empire makes a move, Taiwan will definitely fail at that time, and this is inevitable. The strength of the British is very strong, so they also have this confidence. (to be continued)
