This time, there were not many diplomatic missions to visit the hive. Almost most of the consulates in Huaihai sent people out. Because how to manage the Awakened has become a global problem these days. China's current establishment of the Hive City is a good attempt, which has naturally attracted the attention of many countries. Especially the traditional powers, those European and American powers that have been established for hundreds of years, and those in power in these countries are the most afraid of losing power.

It's only natural that they want to learn a little bit from the hive. Of course, not all studious students are humble. It's like Mr. Smith from across the ocean, he is the military attache of the U.S. Consulate (Huaihai) in China.

A military attache is theoretically an official who maintains security near the consulate. After all, the land where the consulate is located belongs to the country according to international practice, and it is the same all over the world. Theoretically, the local state has no law enforcement power over consulates and embassies, because they belong to the territory of other countries. Just like the famous incident in the Chinese Embassy in North Korea, a family of three North Korean defectors fled into the embassy to seek humanitarian and diplomatic asylum during the change of guard on duty at the Chinese embassy.

The Northern Dynasties have always severely punished North Korean defectors, and if they are caught, they either go to the mines to dig to death, or go to the forest farm to cut down to death, or go to the fishing ground to dry until they die. The North Korean police and army were arresting the defector, but stopped in front of the embassy. Because they cannot trespass on embassy territory, because trespassing on embassy is considered trespassing on Chinese territory, especially with weapons. This is an armed provocation.

In the end, the South Korean side came forward to mediate, expressing its willingness to accept this family of three North Korean defectors to live in South Korea. Out of humanitarian considerations, the Chinese side did not hand over the North Korean defector to North Korea, but directly handed it over to South Korea. Because if it is handed over to the Northern Dynasty, the final fate of this family of three can be figured out with big toes.

The North Korean side was angry about this, but it was also helpless.

Of course, diplomatic immunity is not always invincible. It's like the bombed embassy of China exactly twenty years ago. It was penetrated by five consecutive air-to-surface missiles, and the fire burned all night, and finally the European and American explanations for this incident were accidental bombing caused by the use of outdated maps.

The Chinese side is angry, but also helpless.

As the military attache of the world's largest power in China, Smith naturally has a sense of contempt for others. This sense of superiority in the bones is visible to everyone, but there is nothing to be done.

Because this confidence was brought by the ten major aircraft carrier formations sailing in the five oceans and ready to be on standby at any time, it was brought by the world's top three air forces (the United States Air Force, the United States Naval Aviation, and the United States Army Air Force), and it was brought by the world's 170,000 US troops stationed abroad. It also accounts for half of the world's military spending, and the second to last place in global military spending together cannot compare with the huge military spending of the United States.

Smith has been a diplomatic attaché for more than a decade, and he has been treated as a guest of honor in any country he has visited. Even if everyone knew that diplomatic attachés were actually responsible for diplomatic spies, no one would offend Smith. The reason is simple, because behind him stands the world's number one power to endorse him.

He didn't come to China for a long time, only one year. Previously, he worked in Egypt and North Africa. Because of his excellent performance in North Africa, he was transferred to China. Although they are both diplomats, the different countries they go to can prove their different status. Diplomats who went to South American countries were like exiles, while diplomats who went to the great powers of Western Europe had a stronger say.

Diplomats in China are the most special, because the relationship between the two countries is becoming increasingly delicate, and espionage and counter-espionage activities in both countries are endless. So Chinese diplomats going to the United States, or American diplomats going to China, are the best of the best. Basically, the abilities are excellent.

After Smith was promoted to China, he was very unaccustomed at first, because the etiquette and greeting methods in China made him feel too polite and polite. But people are very adaptable, and after you have been an uncle for a long time, it will really regard itself as an uncle.

So when there was no red flag waving in a procession, and there was no row of cute schoolchildren standing in the scorching sun clapping and shouting the slogan "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome", Smith was a little unaccustomed.

Jiang Hua brought more than a dozen of his own subordinates from the Special Investigation Bureau to greet him this time, and there was nothing to put in a special queue or anything, because the sun was too big, so everyone was still holding parasols in their hands.

The leader of the convoy was an old diplomat who was in charge of the handover, he frowned slightly, and then walked quickly to Jiang Hua's side: "Who are you?"

"Jiang Hua, deputy director of the Hive Special Investigation Bureau. Responsible for this reception mission. Jiang Hua saluted the other party, which can be regarded as etiquette.

"That's it?" Old Diplomacy was already in his fifties, and he couldn't understand the formation on Jiang Hua's side: "And didn't you make any preparations?"

"What are you going to prepare?" Jiang Hua glanced at the old diplomat: "Didn't you say that you have a translator? What else do I need to prepare here?" The hive is now so big that it takes two hours to walk around. Rotate around and talk more, three hours is enough. What else do you need to prepare?"

"This ...... There's always a dinner party. ”

"Well, dinner can be had. The canteen of our unit can accommodate 500 people at a time, and I asked people to draw an area for 200 people, and if they stay for dinner in the evening, they can go to the canteen together. Our cafeteria chef's sauce ribs are doing well, and I asked him to call and ask him to make more in the evening. ”

The old diplomat gave Jiang Hua a thumbs up: "Okay, I can be regarded as having seen the famous Queen of Gravity." ”

As he spoke, he could only turn his head and go back to communicate with the diplomatic representatives who had come.

Zhang Tong quietly leaned into Jiang Hua's ear: "Wouldn't this be bad?"

"What's so bad? They come to us and learn from our experience. When have you ever heard that students still have to play big?" Jiang Hua snorted: "Li Yishan, go and talk to the people over there, and form a square line, just like the queue of elementary school students." We're pretty much gone. ”

In the interval between Zhang Tong and Jiang Hua's speeches, on the side of the diplomatic study group, Smith quietly took advantage of the crowd to pull the representative of the South Korean mission aside, and then muttered in his ear for a while. The face of the South Korean delegates was blue and white. He wanted to shake his head and refuse, but looking into Smith's eyes, he said that NO had no courage at all. After all, what if that child could disobey his father?

Therefore, when the old diplomat was communicating with the members of these diplomatic study groups, the South Korean representative over there suddenly said in a very dissatisfied tone: "You have taken us too seriously in terms of reception! Don't you even have basic diplomatic etiquette? Who are you going to fool with such a shabby welcoming ceremony?"

The old diplomat looked at the South Korean representative, as if he had seen a mentally retarded person. South Koreans are really difficult to do, and they will jump out like crazy people every now and then.

And the representative of South Korea himself knows that he is like a mentally retarded now, but what can his father do if he wants to pretend to be mentally retarded?
