C1011 Extreme Fire (1/2)
Sometimes, diplomatic negotiations were even more brutal than battles. Even though their upper and lower lips were just touching, a tiny mistake on their part would require tens of thousands of lives on the battlefield to make up for it.
Last night, Xiao Hexin only rested for an hour and a half. The rest of his time was spent in a secret conversation with the manager of the northern division of the CIA.
What surprised Xiao Hexin the most was that it had been almost half a month since the news of the three-way groove war was spread to Beijing, and the imperial government still had not come up with a protocol for the negotiations. In other words, even now in the Forbidden City, they did not know how to resolve this issue, nor did they know what to discuss.
From beginning to end, when Ulangeli denounced him, Head Office only said one sentence: ”I don't know, we didn't do it!” couldn't help but sigh at his incompetent performance.
Xiao Hexin gradually reverted the consideration of the imperial court from the various intelligence reports. Not only did these officials of the Corpse Mushroom Restaurant not have the ability to react in time, they had not even done any deduction of unexpected events.
Acting is not only a patent of the army, every department in the modern country will carry out all kinds of emergency acting. As we all know in the future, fire prevention, air defense and riot prevention will take place in the city from time to time, and mines and large enterprises will also carry out all kinds of emergency drills.
Even primary school students had several emergency exercises after the earthquake, which kept officials from being helpless in the event of an emergency.
These were all things that ordinary citizens could see. There were also some things that could not be seen, such as financial institutions being on guard against run, crash, hedge and other financial risks. The army had to be ready to engage in all sorts of combat situations at any time.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sect was even more so. The international environment was so complicated, there were hundreds of schemes and struggles between nations, if they did not come up with all these in advance, could it be that they would have to go blind temporarily?
Right now, the Qing Dynasty was already blind. They just felt wronged, and knew that the Russian was using the incident with the three-way groove to cause trouble. They also understood that there was definitely Xiao Letian behind this incident.
But so what if he knew? What should he do? He didn't even pay any attention to this. He was truly analyzing the situation from head to toe. He was completely blind at the thought of solving a problem.
Xiao Hexin was wearing a brand-new military uniform today, shining with golden stars. He gave the Prince Kung a military salute. ”May I ask Your Highness, are you the negotiator for the Kingdom of Qing? Is this a three-way meeting or a two-way meeting between the Ryukyu and the Russia? ”
Raising the ball to Yi O's feet, Gui Six immediately had an awkward expression, ”Hmm, the imperial government has made arrangements, so why don't you negotiate with the Russian today? ”Let's listen on the side first. We'll listen on the side with the three nations of the English and French and the United States …”
Buzz! * All the officials of Head Office who were listening outside the hall started to whisper to each other. Xiao Hexin lamented in his heart, ”This group of useless pigs, do you not know how to make a fool of yourself? Have you forgotten that this is the Beijing? Was this the government's Head Office? No matter what, you are still one of the suspects the Russian mentioned! ”
”You're going to shamelessly declare your neutrality just like that? Let me go to the mine first and then you can eat right away? ”You're the ones who have given us all your reputation points for nothing. Then, I won't be polite …”
How could Xiao Hexin know that, was not considered shameless. In his previous life, when they were at war with Japan and Russia, he was beaten into a pulp by the Japanese army and Russian Army. Shame? What is a face?
The negotiations went on like an explosion. With yesterday's conflict at the very end, the two sides didn't even have the basic courtesy to start a war of words. The moment they came up, they rolled up their sleeves and began to curse.
