In one-on-one negotiations, the time travelers first settled Italy and Austro-Hungarian Empire, because these two countries were both so-called in the Eight-Nation Alliance. When the Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Beijing, these two countries only sent dozens of soldiers to participate in the war. After the Eight-Nation Alliance occupied Beijing, the two countries continued to add some troops, but only 1,2oo people were on their own, and only 3,4o people were eventually captured by the People's Army. Naturally, people could not spend much money on such a small amount of people. Tianlai novel Time Travelers were too lazy to ask for more, and the two countries did not bargain much, so both sides packed all the prisoners at a price of 5ooo two silver.

The negotiations with Germany went very smoothly, because the two sides had negotiated before that the redemption and sale fees of German prisoners were offset by the machinery and equipment purchased by the Travel Group from Germany. The first batch of machinery and equipment ordered by the Travel Group from Germany had been issued from Germany, and it is expected that there will be 10-15 days left to reach Qingdao. Of course, the Travel Group still needs a large number of machinery and equipment. Now the Travel Group has strong financial resources, so that the redemption and sale fees without the prisoners can be fully affordable. Germany naturally welcomes this and said that it will report to the country immediately and send representatives from relevant companies to China for negotiations as soon as possible. Finally, the two sides also determined that the Travel Group will dispatch staff to Germany next year to facilitate better communication and exchanges with each other.

The soldiers captured by Britain, France and the United States are almost the same, between 15oo-2oo, but these three countries have a common feature, that is, most of the soldiers are not their own people, but indigenous people in the colonies. The main force of the British team is the Indian K-Tin soldiers; the French team is composed of locals from the Jiaozhi (i.e. Vietnam) in India; while the US military is indigenous people in the Philippines, so there are not many captives in these three countries, and they are basically officers at all levels.

In the eyes of these three governments, the soldiers in the colonies were naturally cannon fodder, and naturally they would not pay the redemption fee for cannon fodder. Except for a few people who have important status in the indigenous tribes, the three countries were only willing to redeem their captives and a few indigenous officers, and the rest of the indigenous soldiers ignored them. In the end, the two sides reached an agreement, with the UK paying 38,000 pounds and France paying 1035,000 francs; the United States paid 217,000 US dollars, and a total of 617 prisoners were redeemed, while the remaining 4,376 prisoners were handled by overseas Chinese.

At the same time, the Crossing Group also reached an agreement with the UK. After the negotiations are over, the two sides will jointly respond to Russia's expansion. The UK is responsible for gathering other countries to put pressure on Russia, demanding that Russia accept the results of the Shanghai negotiations and withdraw troops from Northeast China. The Crossing Group is responsible for further increasing pressure on Russia in military terms and taking a two-pronged approach.

France promised time travelers that it would urge Russia to accept the results of the Shanghai negotiations, and of course it also hopes to further develop trade relations with the time travel group.

The Crossing Group reached a series of commercial agreements with the United States. In principle, both sides agreed to strengthen mutual economic and trade exchanges. The Crossing Group also welcomed American companies to invest freely in areas under their control. At the same time, both sides reached a consensus on the second and third phases of the Tianjin Shipyard, which was built by American companies, and will jointly complete the project. It is expected to be completed by the end of 19o3. In the Jieshi Tianjin Shipyard will be able to build about 20,000 tons of ships on its own, repair about 30,000 tons of ships on its own, and repair about 50,000 tons of ships on its own, and repair about 50,000 tons of ships on its own, and mooring to repair about 50,000 tons of ships on its own. In addition, the United States also agreed to the Crossing Group to set up an office in the United States to facilitate communication and political exchanges between each other.

The exhibition plan formulated by the Travel Group will focus on the trade relations between Germany and the United States, rather than strengthening ties with the United Kingdom and France. Because the Travel Group is in the exhibition, it is necessary to introduce a large number of foreign advanced technologies in a short period of time, rather than just introducing products. Even if you purchase machinery and equipment, you will also introduce technology, production lines, etc. Only in this way can the Travel Group establish its own industrial system in a short period of time.

However, since Britain and France are both old capitalist countries, they have vast colonies and can obtain cheap resources and a vast product market, their focus on opening up new markets is to sell their own industrial products in order to pursue as much profit as possible, and they are not interested in technology transfer and building new markets. On the other hand, although Britain and France are interested in cooperating with the Time Travel Group on the issue of curbing Russia, there are structural contradictions between Britain and France and the Time Travel Group in essence, that is, Britain and France have a large amount of economic and political interests in China and have formed their own spheres of influence. Sooner or later, they will conflict with the Time Travel Group. This also determines that Britain and France will not help the Time Travel Group to improve their technical capabilities.

Germany and the United States are both emerging countries of this era. Compared with old countries such as Britain, France and Russia, Germany and the United States have all experienced industrial technology and economic capabilities. Germany is now the world's largest industrial power, while the United States is currently the largest economic power, but it is only due to lack of background and a large number of colonies.

The United States attaches more importance to foreign market development, and pays relatively more attention to trade fairness, and the technology blockade is not so strict. It is impossible to compete with old-fashioned powers in the market without getting some practical information. Moreover, since the United States adheres to the policy of opening up the door, it has basically given up seizing colonies and uses its strong economic capabilities to promote global trade, which is one level higher than that of old-fashioned countries like Britain, France and Russia. Therefore, although the United States also has a large amount of economic interests in China, it has not formed its own sphere of influence, which has no irreconcilable structural contradictions with time travelers.

Germany is another situation. Although Germany has a strong desire to expand externally, its power in the Far East is very weak and cannot use force to seize the colony. Therefore, it can only obtain the opportunity to sell its own industrial products through cooperation with the Time Travel Group. However, this has to be exchanged by transferring technology. Of course, the Time Travel Group can also use its own military technology to exchange with Germany. The Time Travel Group still has considerable advantages in this regard. In addition, Germany has irreconcilable contradictions in Europe, Britain and France. The Time Travel Group can also enhance Germany's military capabilities by importing military technology to Germany to restrain Britain and France and gain opportunities for its own exhibition.

Finally, there were negotiations with Japan. In fact, there were not many Japanese prisoners in the Time Travel Group, only 12 and 3oo. Originally, it was not necessary to charge much redemption of prisoners, but now Japan is indeed more urgent to join forces with the Time Travel Group to deal with Russia's expansion. Coupled with the incident at this intelligence base, Japan was very passive in this negotiation. Consul Oda Kei, who was responsible for the negotiation, greeted the women in the Japanese military more than once.

However, in the end, the two sides reached a redemption agreement, which was very surprising. Japan used the iron-clad ship Zhenyuan, which was captured in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, to exchange all the Japanese prisoners.

The Zhenyuan ship was one of the main forces of the Beiyang Navy, with a standard displacement of 73oo tons. In the old time and space, until the 21st 2020, the Chinese Navy had not built the main warship of the Zhenyuan ship in terms of tonnage alone. Therefore, between the Beiyang Navy's army, the Zhenyuan ship and the Dingyuan ship of the same level were called Asia's number one giant ship. However, the Beiyang Navy formed its army in 1888, and after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Zhenyuan ship's technical level was out of date. Now, the Zhenyuan ship is among the major naval powers, among the major naval powers.

Long before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, Japan had ordered the USS Fuji from Britain. Two battleships with a standard displacement of 12ooo tons were not yet completed and delivered during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. However, after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, Japan incorporated the Zhenyuan ship into the Japanese fleet, but with the return of the USS Fuji and the 6th return of the USS Yashima, Japan also formulated a military expansion plan for the "Six Six Fleet". The Zhenyuan ship, whose technical level was earlier and lagged behind the era, also lost its former glory. In 1898, the Zhenyuan ship was classified as a second-class ship by Japan. Therefore, using such an outdated old ironclad ship to exchange for more than 12o prisoners is a very cost-effective transaction for Japan.

For the time travel group, exchange of Zhenyuan ships has a powerful symbolic significance. No matter how backward the Zhenyuan ship is now, it represents the glory of the Chinese Navy after all. This warship was captured by Japan and incorporated into the Japanese fleet is undoubtedly a huge shame for China. Although this shame was carried by the Qing court rather than the time travel group, it is a knot for every time traveler. Therefore, when using Japanese prisoners to exchange for the Zhenyuan ship, although it cannot be said to be a complete cleansing of this shame, it is also a comfort.

After hearing this result, Li Hongzhang did not sigh. Although he didn't say anything, he slept much later that night than usual.

The Shanghai negotiations ended smoothly, and the Time Travel Group, Qingting and other countries also reached an armistice agreement and signed a treaty. Although Russia has not joined the treaty, since Russia is now unable to launch a new war, it can also be considered that this Qing court is called the "Botton Reform", and the history of the "Eight-Nation Alliance War of Invasion of China" was officially ended.

After the formal treaty was announced, the focus of public opinion was finally brought back to negotiations from exhibitions and concerts. Although the treaties signed by the Time Travel Group and other countries were almost entirely based on a country, at least as an independent political position, it did not cause much controversy. First, although the Qing court had already recruited overseas Chinese, it had not yet formally entrustled. Therefore, overseas Chinese are not yet considered subordinates of the Qing court, and now the territory occupied by overseas Chinese is taken from various countries, which has no relationship with the Qing court, and is fully qualified to sign treaties with other countries as an independent identity. Second, everyone knows that the Qing court was able to negotiate such a treaty that basically protects its own interests this time because there were overseas Chinese behind the back. If there were no overseas Chinese, the Qing court would have been stripped off even if the country did not perish. Therefore, what else can be said?
