After hearing Qin Zheng's words, the faces of the ministers of various countries became very ugly. No one expected that overseas Chinese would propose conditions for searching the embassies of various countries. Although in this era, there was an internationally recognized and clear diplomatic relations treaty provisions, diplomatic immunity, and the rights of consulates abroad not violated by the parties, which were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the old time and space. In fact, it was officially confirmed in the "Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations" signed in Vienna, Austria in 1961.

In this era, diplomatic relations are basically carried out in accordance with international practices, or the two countries sign diplomatic agreements with each other. Of course, overall, countries still respect embassies in their own countries. Many rules of diplomatic relations that have been confirmed in the old time and space have basically become international diplomatic practices. In fact, the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations is just a summary of previous international diplomatic practices and determined in the form of international law. It has been approved and implemented by most countries. Even the United States, which is known as the world police in the old time and space, dare not risk the big deal and break into embassies of other countries to arrest people.

However, it is precisely because there are no clear international legal provisions in this era that acts that violate international diplomatic practices among countries are often born. Searching embassies of other countries, arresting and detaining embassies staff are often born. Of course, once such a thing is often considered a great insult to other countries. At the very least, it leads to the severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and at the worst, it leads to war. Therefore, such things are usually born in a more hostile country. The inducement of the Gengzi country's transformation is that German ambassador to China Klin shot the Qing army on the streets of Beijing.

The overseas Chinese proposed to search embassies of various countries, which naturally caused great insults to various countries. However, the reasons proposed by Qin Zheng made the ministers of various countries feel a little in the fault. During the Eight-Nation Alliance's occupation of Beijing, a large amount of looted property was indeed stored in their embassies. In addition, the ministers of various countries, as well as other staff members in the embassies, also took this opportunity to gain a lot of benefits for themselves.

Of course, the ministers and embassy staff will not participate in the robbery, but they can buy it because for soldiers, a porcelain bottle, cultural relics and antiques are not as good as real gold and silver. Most ministers are knowledgeable people, so Kebei bought it from soldiers in their country at an extremely cheap price, such as various precious ancient books and paintings collected in the palace, and you can buy more than ten copies with just one hanging of money. An exquisite porcelain bottle can only be 2 or 3 taels of silver; a diamond-inlaid black hawk star given to the Chinese emperor by the Prussian emperor, and it can be purchased for only 20 taels of silver; since most soldiers do not know the true value of the treasures they stolen, someone later came up with a solution, which was to pay equal weight of silver according to the weight of the items. In this way, the ministers of various countries naturally got a lot of precious treasures.

Although everyone knows these things. It is just an excuse to protect the embassy in the country. It is natural to take the opportunity to make a fortune and save some pension money for themselves. However, this is a matter under the table that cannot be taken to the table. Therefore, once overseas Chinese search for these treasures and wealth from embassies in various countries, it is quite embarrassing for all countries to find these treasures and wealth. In the name of protecting their embassies and expatriates, plundering the treasures and wealth of other countries is unreasonable there, and it will greatly reduce the moral advantages of various countries.

But now no one has the ability to stop the overseas Chinese army from entering the embassy to search, and judging from the previous actions of overseas Chinese, they are definitely not just talking about it. After a while, French Minister Bi Shengcai said: "Political Commissar Qin, to be honest, your request is indeed a bit too much, because searching the embassies of various countries is an important accident and a rough violation of the sovereignty of our countries. You should be clear about the consequences."

Qin Zheng said: "Of course I know what we are doing, but one thing you should know is that the Qing Dynasty is not us who has diplomatic relations with your countries. Moreover, after the Shanghai negotiations broke down, we and all countries were in a state of war. Therefore, if we promise to protect the safety of embassies and embassy staff, we have done our best. Moreover, we only require the return of our treasures and wealth that have been looted by our countries and conduct inspections. As for weapons, since we promise to protect the safety of embassies of each country, there is no practical significance for embassies to retain weapons. To be honest, if we do not promise to protect the safety of embassies of each country, will you think that even if we retain weapons, can we protect the safety of embassies?"

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, the ministers looked at each other and had to admit that Qin Zheng's words were indeed very frank, but they were all facts. Overseas Chinese have no diplomatic relations with other countries, and they are in a state of war. Naturally, there is no need to respect diplomatic practices. Even if they only signed a cooperation agreement with Germany, this can only be regarded as a commercial agreement. Although there are terms for both parties to set up offices and dispatch representatives, one thing is that they have not been sent yet; the other thing is that the dispatch representatives are still commercial representatives in the famous discussion, and it is not a real diplomatic relationship. Therefore, overseas Chinese have to search embassies of various countries, which is legally tenable.

At this time, the US ambassador Kang Ge said: "Political Commissar Qin, we don't want to argue with you about the right and wrong. We just hope that you can restore the telegram lines of each embassy. We hope to ask the country for instructions. If the country agrees to let you search the embassy, ​​we will never stop it."

It turned out that after the People's Army occupied Beijing, it immediately cut off the telegram lines of embassies from various countries. Therefore, embassies of various countries were unable to contact the outside world. Kang Ge's intention was to make this big and let Shanghai go, in fact, countries put pressure on overseas Chinese. Although other countries except Russia have no ability to launch military operations against overseas Chinese, all countries have huge influence after all and cannot be underestimated.

Qin Zheng spread his hands and said, "Sorry, in yesterday's battle, the official telegraph bureau suffered major damage and the equipment was damaged a lot, so all telegraph lines have been stopped. We are sending people to speed up repairs. Once repaired, telegraph lines from embassies in various countries will be opened immediately, but I hope you can wait patiently for a few days."

The ministers had nothing to say at this moment, because no one knew whether Qin Zheng said that the destruction of the official telecommunications bureau was true or false, but no one could refute this reason. Then contacting the country and making the big attempt to make this incident completely shatter. It is impossible to say that after the official telecommunications bureau was repaired, the embassy would ask the country for instructions. Therefore, at this point, the ministers of all countries understood that this matter was inevitable, so they only recognized it. Just because the Russian minister Gerth, who has always been recognized as the toughest in diplomatic affairs, and the Japanese minister Sutaro Komura, who is the most stubborn, did not say anything.

In fact, although the Russians have always been tough, they are not just trying to be tough. When it is time to soften their positions, they will definitely weaken their positions. Moreover, Russian Minister Gerth had known the news that the Russian army was going south, so he was forced to do anything with overseas Chinese at this time and just wanted to suffer. After the Russian army entered Shanhaiguan and occupied Beijing, isn’t Russia’s final decision? Even if overseas Chinese snatched away Russian property, it doesn’t matter. At that time, all the profits and profits will be returned.

The Japanese are actually just soldiers when they are thorns, while the Japanese diplomats are actually extremely cunning, soft and hard. The current situation is very obvious. How dare not bow their heads under the low eaves? Besides, old imperialism like Britain, France, and Russia have not made any statement, so Japan does not need to make it. Moreover, compared with other countries, Japan actually has a stool. Just one day before overseas Chinese landed, the main ships of the Japanese Joint Fleet retreated to the country, and took away half of the wealth that Japan plundered from China, with almost 20,000 taels of silver, and the largest and most precious cultural relics. Therefore, Japan also made a profit.

In fact, time travelers are very clear that although there is no legal problem in searching embassies in various countries, it is quite unfavorable to the time travel group in international politics, and may affect the next negotiation between the time travel group and various countries, causing diplomatic isolation. However, the time travel group cannot sit idly by and watch the loss of treasures stored in embassies in various countries. First, the time travel group now needs this wealth; second, this also involves the power struggle within the time travel group, because the current executive committee is just a temporary government, The Time Travel Group will officially establish a leadership system by the end of this year. If the current leaders want to be elected by the end of the year and continue to take power, they cannot be too tolerant in foreign affairs. After all, most Time Travelers were very dissatisfied with the government's behavior in the old time and space, so they did not want to "protest" in this era. The treasures and cultural relics plundered by the Eight-Nation Alliance undoubtedly touched the national situation in the hearts of most Time Travelers. In this regard, the Executive Committee is not allowed to compromise.

Therefore, the operation mode of the Time Travel Group is to block the news first and search the ministers of various countries. Find treasured cultural relics that were looted by various countries, and publish the news first to publicize the moral commanding heights, so that the adverse political influence of the search for embassies in various countries can be suppressed. Simply put, it is to search for treasured cultural relics first and confirm the crimes of the Eight-Nation Alliance. In this era, no one will say that time travelers are not searching for embassies in various countries. In this era, only the results are discussed, but no one talks about procedural justice.

After meeting the ministers from various countries, Qin Zheng also met with the bishops of various churches in Beijing. In this feast of looting China, the missionaries in Beijing also got a piece of the pie. They were more radical than the embassy staff because they knew better what was the most valuable. Fan Guoran, the bishop of the Xishiku Church in Beijing, was the commander-in-chief of the residence of Prince Li. In order to transport the treasures of the royal palace back to the church, they used several large trucks to transport them for seven consecutive days.
