"They claimed in newspapers how many warships and troops they had lost, but they just ignored one thing. They initiated this war on their own initiative, and their losses were caused by their ambitions. They also ignored that, How much harm has this war caused to China and how much loss has it caused to China? First of all, before the negotiations begin, I hope to get a clear answer from Special Envoy Ishii as to who is the initiator of the war!"

The unexpected question made Kikujiro Ishii speechless. It also made the British and French ministers presiding over the meeting stunned. While they were talking softly in French and were surprised by this turn of events, Rui Shi'en threw his head at Lu Zhengxiang. With a look of admiration, he took the initiative in the negotiation before the negotiation even started.

If Ishii admits that Japan instigated the war, then undoubtedly Japan, as the "loser" and "initiator", must bear full responsibility. If Ishii does not admit this fact, then in the eyes of various countries, Japan simply There is no sincerity in negotiating.

These Chinese diplomats!

Weak countries have no diplomacy! But in fact, the only thing weak countries can rely on is diplomacy! The best diplomats are in weak countries, because they do not have the country behind the diplomats of strong countries, and all they have is diplomatic wisdom.

"this……"

Ishii Kikujiro was speechless, but he immediately cast a look of help at Zhu Erdian, who was presiding over the meeting. Although the British "forced" Japan to come to the negotiating table, the British minister in Japan made it very clear that the British would Stand on Japan's side as much as possible at the negotiation table to ensure that Japan's interests are not damaged.

"The conflict was first provoked by Japan. This is a consensus that all countries have already reached!"

Ishii's request for help pushed Zhu Erdian to the forefront. Although he was not willing to stand on Japan's side, he had to stand up and give Ishii some help after receiving instructions from London.

"However, China's acceptance of the rule of virtue in Jiao'ao without consultation with all parties will inevitably increase a lot of misunderstandings. From London's perspective, this is a wrong conflict caused by a series of mistakes!"

"So, Minister Zhu Erdian, is the current conflict on the European continent also a wrong conflict caused by a series of mistakes?"

Gu Weijun, who had been silent all this time, immediately countered with sharp words.

"If the UK agrees with this, I think China will also agree that this is the wrong conflict!"

"We are not pursuing responsibility for the war, but we hope to establish the fact that China was forced to engage in this war in self-defense. Self-defense is the most basic national right. If self-defense to safeguard national rights and interests is also a mistake, Then, I’m afraid the lights in Europe have really gone out!”

When Zhu Erdian and others were speechless, Gu Weijun stood up and said after getting Lu Zhengxiang's permission.

"After the outbreak of the European War, what was China's immediate position of siding with the Allies? It was precisely because of the basic position that we firmly believe in, justice, whether it is France or the United Kingdom. This war was fought for the country’s self-defense, and in this conflict, China was the one forced to take up arms and exercise its right to self-defense!”
