C1979 Apology Statement (1/2)
The sun was setting, and dusk was approaching the most beautiful time for the Port Said, but the diplomatic negotiations inside the Consular House were still ongoing, it had already been three hours. The high intensity of mental work had also tired Xiang Ying out, but as it was related to the matters between the two nations, no matter how tired he was, he had to endure it.
The fight between the two was extremely intense. Xiang Ying didn't have the hypocritical words a normal diplomat would have, he directly pushed Counsellor La Ku into a corner.
This was not a joke, but the Chinese already possessed the strength to fight in the Port Said. There were only more than three thousand French Army and they were not an elite army.
However, the Chinese had two thousand elite soldiers, and could even spare four to five hundred men from the navy to assist in the battle. These soldiers were all armed to the teeth, and were not something that the French could handle.
But the war was not what the Fiihrer wanted, and the immediate task was to visit Europe, where the whole plan would be thrown into disarray if a fire was started.
However, the Chinese could not accept this loss and could not let France stab them for free. In the later stages of bargaining with France, the Chinese would add another piece of evidence, which would be the ammunition on the negotiating table. The final amount of cake would depend on the amount of crimes they had accumulated.
Therefore, Xiao Letian's plan for Xiang Ying was to first tighten it and then loosen it. Just like fishing, in the end, he would be able to make the hook in Counsellor La Ku's mouth become deeper and deeper, and become firmer and firmer.
Thus, Xiang Ying had to adopt a listening posture. In any case, the declaration of war just now had shocked La Ku, and he should let the opponent relax a little now.
Counsellor La Ku continued to speak with a parched voice. I have already made clear the significance of the existence of the canal. Even if you are stationed here, what benefits will you receive? ”Isn't it just a waste of money …”
”Britain and I can gain strategic initiative and tremendous commercial benefits from controlling the canal. But your business circle is east of the Malacca …”
”Can't you see that with your intelligence? Don't make other people's wedding clothes for nothing! He couldn't get any benefits, yet he still went all out to start a war? This is not a decision that a good politician can make... ”
Seeing Xiang Ying's solemn face and not rebutting, La Ku knew that these words moved him and he quickly beat the iron. ”It's not good, helping the British for nothing, that's the first bad point, and the other one is something you can't accept …”
”The Emperor of the Great Qing and the head of the Chinese clan have paid a visit to the affairs of the European countries. Even the Queen has overtaken the Prime Minister to personally inquire about such a prosperous diplomatic world.
”In the five thousand years of human civilization, have Chinese emperors ever come to Europe? No! This is an epoch-making event, and is definitely going to be recorded in the annals of human history! ”
”You can imagine how many flowers and applause you will receive during this visit, how courteous the Emperor and the Führer will be, and how much practical benefits you will receive … All of these are what you need the most! ”
”Moreover, as long as this State visit is successful, at least many treaties of peace and friendship will be signed. All the countries that signed the treaties or issued the declarations have in fact recognized the Chinese as a new and emerging nation!”
”In other words, the European countries will eventually recognize you as a new nation! Isn't that what the Führer always wanted? ”
”However, war will destroy everything. All of your plans will be destroyed by this war, and your main forces will be idle as the Port Said falls into the encirclement and attacks of the French army, while you will be left without help …”
