C6 (1/2)

Before the Japanese minister could even sit down, the British minister angrily stood up. He said in his heart, ”My British Empire worked hard for more than half a century to fight with China, and after so much trouble to get these benefits, you Japan want to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of us? It's not that easy! ”

He calmed down, then immediately became calm and said, ”My British Empire is the most civilized empire in the world. The small amount of loans we have made to China is just like a joke, something we can take with us, without the need for other countries to worry about it. I've decided to take them all! If it's not enough, it can be doubled. ”

After saying that, he deliberately shook his head as he looked at the Japanese minister. The Japanese minister was so angry that he stood up and looked like he was about to fight. When he calmed down, he glared at the British minister, gave a ”hateful” cry, and sat down again with a flick of his sleeve. The situation became tense, and everyone present stared at them.

The Japanese consuls glared at the British minister like wolves.

The British envoy looked them over again; he smiled and said: ”We don't need much collateral. It was enough to ask only for the development of railways and mines in the north-east, plus all the taxes of Fushun, Fujian and Taiwan. I can sign the bill right away. ”

With that, he proudly swept his eyes over the Japanese again, then glanced at all of them before slowly sitting down.

Since the Northeast and Fujian, Taiwan, is the sphere of influence of Japan and Russia, the Zurich is aimed at Japan. Sure enough, the Japanese were so angry that their eyes had turned blood-red.

The little Japanese minister roared and shouted, ”I protest! I protest! Northeast China, Fujian, Taiwan, no countries are allowed to interfere. It's all ours! ” His shout immediately thrown the entire venue into chaos.

When the Russian minister heard that he was going to take them from the northeast, he was so angry that he banged the table and shouted, ”I protest! I protest as well! ”

”I protest against your England!” He then shouted at the Japanese minister: ”I protest against you, Japan! To protest that you are disregarding our interests in Russia! ”

The French minister also stood up and shouted, ”I too protest against Japan!” Thus, the envoys from the four countries fell into an uproar.

The American envoy was still in a daze. He placed his feet on the table, causing a ”hualala” sound as he deliberately caused trouble. The German minister, seeing that they were quarreling so fiercely, did not have the opportunity to register himself, and cried out anxiously, ”Take a knife, and cut up China! No one can hope for more! ” Some of the foreigners were banging their cups and plates, making a lot of noise. It caused a lot of noise in the banquet hall and the meeting was about to end. That's it: the melon pieces don't wait for the June ripeness, the skin green will pull.

Faced with this scene, Yuan Shikai frowned. The other government officials were anxious and knew that they would not be able to carry on. Yuan Shikai turned around and began to quietly discuss with Li Yuanhong, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and others.

After a while, Secretary Lang walked over to the cloud deck and knocked on the door a few times before announcing in a loud voice, ”Everyone, please be quiet. The terms of your mortgage must not go beyond our permissible limits. Please listen to our President's clear explanation. ”

Yuan Shikai also stood up and clapped, ”Everyone, please be quiet. ”Let me explain.” The envoys had just calmed down when the Japanese consul and the British consul began to fight like chickens.

Yuan Shikai was surprised by the situation. He shouted anxiously, ”Everyone stop! Quickly stop! ” Those people only cared about tearing and beating, and no one paid any attention to them. The other Chinese government officials also looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

Seeing that the foreigners were getting ahead of themselves and getting more and more boisterous, Duan Qili was very angry. He mustered up the courage to stand up and scold. Facing the foreign envoys, he was suddenly at a loss for words. Because no matter who it was, he wouldn't dare offend them.

Yuan Shikai could only clap his hands and shout, ”Everyone, stop fighting. Friends from all over the world are reconsidering the mortgage terms. Just now, Mr. Zhu Er Dian and Mr. Yi Yi, the conditions for the mortgage were all quite harsh, exceeding the permissible limits. This was something that I found difficult to accept. If your conditions are to be reduced, I choose one or two. ”

At most, half of the people had heard his words. The foreigners were still noisy. A few Japanese and a few British consuls were still fighting in groups, their heads bleeding from the skirmishes.

Yuan Shikai saw that there was no hope in stopping him and whispered a few words to Secretary Lang. Secretary Lang knocked on the cloud board a few more times before announcing loudly, ”Dismissed! ”Friends from all over the world, please return to the residence to rest.”

When the ambassadors who had not been given the opportunity to register heard that the meeting was over, they became anxious and began to quarrel with the people of both countries. As they walked outside, they were still bickering with each other.
