Huo Bilan pondered for a while before saying, "Mr. Li, your suggestion is very good, but have you ever thought about it? Once you defeat the Russian army, when the negotiations are initiated, Russia will definitely strongly oppose it and use it as a threat to demand that you make concessions, or to confront you together with the Eight Kingdoms. How do you deal with it then?"

Li Sanjie smiled and said, "This matter is easy to handle. If Russia refuses to negotiate, then we will negotiate separately. We will negotiate with countries that are willing to negotiate. I think at that time, the countries that are unwilling to negotiate were probably Russia. Of course, Britain will definitely not be able to take the lead. However, we can find a country to come out and ask for separate negotiations first, and then just use the UK to admit it with the flow."

When Huo Bilan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and had to admit that Li Sanjie's suggestion was indeed very clever. The Eight-Nation Alliance had their own ulterior motives and had their own plans. After the rise of overseas Chinese, there was a country hoping to negotiate with overseas Chinese. It was only due to the previous agreements reached by various countries that barely maintained the Eight-Nation Alliance's alliance. After the People's Army attacked Beijing, the Eight-Nation Alliance was also in name only. In addition, each country had its own goals. Now there was only one opportunity that the Eight-Nation Alliance could be officially disbanded.

In fact, Britain does not want to maintain this alliance that is in name only. It is just that Britain is one of the founding countries of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and has always been the leader of the Eight-Nation Alliance. The first commander-in-chief of the Eight-Nation Alliance was the British Seymour, so Britain could not disband the Eight-Nation Alliance. If other countries could jump out and demand the disbandment of the Eight-Nation Alliance, Britain could just borrow a ladder to get down the wall. And it is not difficult to find a country that can take the initiative to stand out. In fact, Britain thought of it for overseas Chinese, that is Japan, but I believe that overseas Chinese have already chosen this goal. As for how to convince Japan to take the lead, it is the business of overseas Chinese. If overseas Chinese cannot even do this, it also means that overseas Chinese have not had a good diplomatic mediation ability.

Huo Bilan nodded and said, "Okay, I will report your suggestions to the country as soon as possible, and I will try my best to convince the country. Before that, I will do my best to help you in Shanghai."

Li Sanjie said: "But I have another point to add. The Russians have always been tough and arrogant, and they are extremely greedy for their territory. We will not give Russia any compensation conditions. Therefore, even if we put pressure on Russia together, it may not force Russia to withdraw its troops from the Northeast. Moreover, Russia is building a large Siberian railway. Once this railway is completed and Russia is accustomed to the east and west, maybe Russia will continue to take risks and strengthen its military presence in Northeast China, creating a certain fact."

Huo Bilan was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized it. He had to admit that what Li Sanjie said was indeed very likely, because with the usual Russian style, it is difficult for them to vomit the land they eat again. He ignored this point, and overseas Chinese were indeed very comprehensive in their consideration, so he said: "If such a situation really happens, how should we deal with it?"

Li Sanjie said: "If it really comes to that point, then it can only be solved by force. I think Britain basically has no possibility of investing a lot of military force in the Far East, so it can only find an agent in the Far East to help Britain contain Russia. When necessary, it can use force to resist Russia's expansion, which is to actively attack Russia, and Britain only uses intelligence support, weapons and material assistance to it behind the scenes."

Huo Bilan smiled bitterly and could only nod. Although Britain claimed to be the empire of the sun never set, its homeland was just an island country after all, and Russia's territory was vast, spanning the Eurasian Great 6, and it had started construction of the Siberian Railway. The investment in the Far East was indeed much greater than that of Britain. Moreover, around Britain, there was also a rising Germany, which involved most of the British power. Therefore, Britain could not fight with Russia in the Far East, and could only support an ally in the Far East to help itself fight against Russia. If overseas Chinese could see through it, it also shows that their ability to grasp the international situation was very accurate.

Li Sanjie continued: "At present, in the Far East, there are only two countries or forces that meet the requirements of Britain, one is Japan and the other is us. However, it is difficult for both Japan and us to compete with Russia alone. Even if we have the support of Britain, we can completely curb Russia's expansion in the Far East. Even if we go to war with the Russian army, the victory or defeat will be between 55. For Britain, if there are two allies in the Far East, we should not put all the eggs in one basket."

After listening to Li Sanjie's words, Huo Bilan couldn't speak for a long time because Li Sanjie said almost without any leakage, taking into account the interests of all parties and the actual situation. He could not find any loopholes in it. It can also be said that this suggestion is not only beneficial to the UK, but also takes into account the interests of overseas Chinese and Japanese. For Britain, supporting two allies is not only "don't put all the eggs in one basket", but also using these two allies to stop each other in case they break away from British control. For overseas Chinese and Japanese, it is to solve the current real threats and fight for the power to survive and develop for themselves. Therefore, it can be said that the result of each party's needs and the three parties win. As long as they are the ruling people in the UK and the members of the parliament will not refuse this suggestion.

After a while, Huo Bilan said: "Okay, Mr. Li, I can correct my words just now. I think your suggestion is likely to be passed in China. All I have to do is urge the country to make a resolution as soon as possible. You can wait for my news. In addition, if you need any materials, you can come to me if you have any difficulties. I will try my best to help you solve it."

Li Sanjie nodded, very satisfied with the result of this meeting, so he stood up and said goodbye to Huo Bilan. Huo Bilan also enthusiastically sent Li Sanjie out of the gate of the consulate until Li Sanjie got in the car and left without turning back to the consulate. Because he saw that the direction of Li Sanjie's carriage was not the Shanghai office of overseas Chinese, but the direction of the Japanese consulate in Shanghai.

Huo Bilan couldn't help but smile. It seemed that he could have a good night's sleep tonight, but before going to bed, he still had to write the report to the country, because it was midnight tomorrow morning in the UK.

After Li Sanjie left the British consulate, he did immediately rushed to the Japanese consulate. In fact, Russia occupied the three northeastern provinces of China, and the most threatened was not Britain, but Japan. Because Britain and Russia are global games, the Far East is just a local battlefield, and even if it loses, it is only a loss of interests, which will not affect the safety of Britain and will not shake the status of Britain's empire.

For Japan, even if the victory or defeat of the confrontation with Russia is not the life and death of the country, it is also related to Japan's development space. Because Japan is just an island country with a small territory and poor resources, the Korean Peninsula is not only an important colony for Japan, but also a springboard for Japan to enter the Great Six. With the Korean Peninsula, Japan is in a favorable position where it can attack and retreat and defend. Advance can gain a foothold in the Great Six, grab resources and land, and turn Japan from a simple island country into a country with both sea and 6, and has the capital to rise in full swing. When retreating, it can set up a barrier to defend Japan's land in the west of Japan and defend the enemy outside the country's gates. Therefore, the impact of Russia's invasion of the three northeastern provinces in China is much greater than that of Britain.

In theory, Li Sanjie should look for Japan first and then go back to negotiate with the UK after the cooperation is negotiated. However, although the British-Japanese alliance in the old time and space will not be formed until next year, at this time, the two countries have already had the intention to cooperate to curb Russia. Because of the Korean Peninsula crisis, the relationship between the two countries is much further than that in the old time and space. However, both in the old time and space and in this era, Britain is dominated by Britain, and Japan is just a follower. You should know that at this time, Japan does not have the autonomy of tariffs, and Japan's customs are still controlled by the UK, and tariffs are still formulated by the UK.

It can also be said that Japan in this era, like the old time and space, cannot be regarded as a sovereign and complete country. It is just that the United Kingdom, not the United States, controls Japan in this era, so it is useless to talk to Japan first. It is only if you can negotiate with Britain first and then talk to Japan to have substantial significance.

It was over 8 o'clock in the evening when I arrived at the entrance of the Japanese consulate. In this era, it was late at night. Even though there were few pedestrians on the streets in the concession, Li Sanjie informed the guards at the door of his identity. The guards did not neglect and went in to report immediately. However, it was not long. I saw that the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai, Oda Kei, personally rushed to the door of the consulate to welcome Li Sanjie.

Oda Kei bowed deeply to Li Sanjie, smiled and said, "Mr. Li, welcome to the Japanese Consulate."

Li Sanjie laughed and said, "It's so late, it's really rude to bother the consul."

Oda Choi hurriedly said, "I have always admired Mr. Li. I really want to visit our Japanese Consulate. I am very welcome. This is not a place to speak. Please come to the hall and then talk. Please come in."
