C1454 Youre welcome to open the door (1/2)
Xiao Letian's opening remark was extremely rude. It truly went against the basic principles of a diplomat, but Ai Liguo was not angry, the two of them were able to run to this desolated island that only fishermen could meet on the sea.
On the white napkin were sweet doughnuts, roast beef with charcoal, wine from Ice Town, and a few appetizing vegetables … The lunch was not sumptuous, but it was also delicious. Unfortunately, other than taking a sip of red wine, no one had the leisure to move their knives and forks.
Xiao Letian went straight to the point and pushed over the information on his table with a strange smile on his face, ”Minister, I have some questions for you, why did the two British frigate s in Hong Kong suddenly leave the military port?”
”Not only that, the Singapore's Battle Battleship Queen honor and the other three cruisers have also set off together. I wonder what kind of mission the Royal Navy will have?”
Ai Liguo frowned, he was secretly surprised in his heart, why was Xiao Letian's intelligence network so efficient? The battle had just begun and he was already able to smell it?
On the paper, it was clearly written in English. The names of the ships, the parameters, the time of departure, the names of the commanders and other information about the naval battleships that Hong Kong, the Singapore and even India had ordered to be relocated were recorded.
However, Ai Liguo was gratified that this information did not indicate the destination of these warships. This meant that although Xiao Letian's spies were extremely close to the British Navy's base, they had not infiltrated inside.
”Oh, what does that mean? Hehe, I think it only means that the Prime Minister has enmity towards us, Britain? ” Ai Liguo curled his lips, threw the paper on the table, and drank a mouthful of the ice-cold red wine to calm his nerves.
”When does the Royal Navy go out to sea? What kind of mission are they going to take? This is our internal affairs. No one can interfere with this. Do I have any obligation to explain it to you?”
”But I would like to hear your explanation. As the Chinese Prime Minister, if you send out spies to spy on the British military, do you think that you are challenging the dignity of the British Empire? Dear Shaw, don't play with the fire, be careful not to burn your own... ”
This was the pride of Britain, the domineering attitude of the world's number one power. Only if they bullied others would others be able to take advantage of them.
Xiao Letian was not angry, he turned over the piece of information and folded it before handing it over to Wang Huaiyuan, and also received a piece of paper with a heart from the CIA.
”Oh? The mission mentioned by the Minister, did it also include the powerful troops in Shanghai? Look at what the British Concession in Shanghai has been doing all this time! ”Within ten days, you have unloaded eight merchant ships with 1200 tons of ammunition. What are you planning to do?”
”All the officers and soldiers' vacations have been cancelled, the army is on high alert, the navy is on board, and they have even started to purchase food from the civilian population. Is this also an ordinary mission? It must be a military mission! ”
Ai Liguo angrily put down his wine cup and said, ”This has nothing to do with you! You are interfering in the internal affairs of our country... ”
”Right, right...” What do you do in Asia that's internal? Fine, let's consider it as your internal affairs, but I believe that your internal affairs pose a threat to us Chinese. I hope that Minister can help me resolve my doubts and give me a peace of mind to eat! ”
Ai Liguo lightly glanced at Xiao Letian, ”I always thought that Prime Minister was an outstanding genius in diplomacy, but today, I see that... ”Hur hur, I'll take back my previous point of view!”
Facing the British Minister's mockery of Xiao Letian, he did not feel the slightest bit of anger. He sat back down on the chair and poured himself a cup of wine, drinking a beautiful cup.
