C1007 Special Envoy Xiao Hexin (1/2)
”Alright, I can make a trip, but can the prime minister please give me some instructions on the strategy for this negotiation? You have to draw a path for me …”
Xiao Letian smiled, ”Strategy? What Strategy would you like... ”I'm not asking you to negotiate. What I need you to do is to clarify the facts. I want you to go and fight against them!”
”Why should I have the dirty water on my head? What did Ulangeli say? What evidence did he have that Daqing and Ryukyu were conspiring to send out their troops? I also said that Ulangeli stole my family's carved red lacquer toilet! ”Why didn't he compensate me …”
”Hehe, diplomacy is just a competition of who has the thickest skin!”
Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan laughed bitterly: Ah, Prime Minister, it's fine if you want us to be shameless, I can also be shameless, but Russian's troop increase can't be fake, the actual military pressure is real, this problem is not something that can be avoided easily at the negotiation table …
Xiao Letian nodded his head, ”I do not hope for the negotiation table to be able to solve all our problems, but I hope that I can pass this year's winter safely … Do you know how much change will occur this winter? ”
”First of all, the telegraph network channel between Europe and Asia is about to be completely linked, and the communication between Asia and Europe will be shortened to three days.” First of all, the telegraph network channel between Europe and Asia is about to be completely connected, and the communication between Asia and Europe will be shortened to three days.
”When the communication cannot reach the global connection, the European world will inevitably be governed by plenipotentiaries like the Governor and the envoy. For example, during the previous two Opium Wars, did you think that the English and French agreed to the final treaty?”
”What a joke, all of those were discussed and done by the special envoys of the Expeditionary forces. Before they left the country, they had already obtained the authority to sign on behalf of their country …”
”Ulangeli even thought that he was the number one ambassador of East Asia? Did he think he could now handle all the foreign affairs of the Far East on his own? Dream... Next year, I will let him know what it means to spit out blood from a hidden wound! ”
”The situation is very urgent, but it's definitely not as serious as you think. Now that the Russia is completely frozen, the army of the Central Asia will definitely not start until spring, and we'll have to wait until the Central Asia comes to the Far East for at least next year's summer …”
”Right now, the only force that can be used in Moscow is to send a fleet from the Baltic Sea to the Heavy Ocean to support the Haishenwai. Don't forget that the Suez Canal has not been opened even now, so they must circle around and come all the way here … ”
”With Russia's naval strength, it is impossible for him to send too many soldiers. I estimate that around ten warships would be at his limit with about three to five thousand soldiers. Also, it would take four to five months to travel, so he should arrive not be much earlier than Central Asia …”
Xiao Letian smiled evilly and patted Xiao Hexin's shoulder, ”What you need to do is to anger Ulangeli, and that is to make the Russian lose his mind. The more troops they dispatch, the more miserable the end result will be! ”There is no doubt about this …”
Xiao Letian's subordinates all knew that as long as the Prime Minister revealed such an evil smile, something huge would definitely happen.
Seeing the Prime Minister being such a hooligan, Xiao Hexin and the others were finally relieved. The two of them explained the details of the event before turning around to make preparations.
Just as Xiao Hexin walked out of the door, Xiao Letian suddenly shouted out, ”Wait a moment, I am prepared to board the boat with you and go north, but I will be changing ships at Deer Island and going north … ”Recently, the humidity has been too high. I think I should go to Japan to soak in a hot spring. Please talk to Fusang in advance …”
