There is a good saying: the country is people-oriented, and the people are food-oriented. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Eating, no matter where it is placed, is the number one big problem.

Subject to different climatic, geographical, and cultural environmental factors, it has led to different ingredients and cooking methods, creating different food cultures, each with its own color.

In terms of deliciousness, Chinese food culture is unparalleled in the world.

However, the so-called: from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift difficult. A native Chinese generally has a more mouthful - or rather a coquettish mouth than other nationalities. If the food of other countries is delicious, it will be fine; If it's unpalatable...... That's really a sin.

And now, Zhao Xu and Zhao Dongyang, deputy envoys of the diplomatic visit of the Holy British Empire, are facing a life dilemma at the moment: to eat or not to eat.

Intellectually, it is undoubtedly something to eat, but in terms of feelings and mouth, it is really impossible to eat.

He looked blankly at the staple slices of bread on his plate, and then at the fried fish, fried meat, grilled fish, grilled meat, fish broth, broth, chowder soup...... Basically, it's fried, grilled, and boiled.

He looked at the side again -- his boss, the head envoy of the diplomatic mission of the Holy British Empire, a scholar of the Tongli Hall of the Honglu Temple of the Chinese Federation, and an "old man" with more than 30 years of rich experience in diplomatic visits, Li Qing and Li Chulan, who were munching on bread and relish at the moment -- Zhao Dongyang said: It's all the fault of youth......

The Holy British Empire, the imperial succession to the former Tuze Dynasty, the imperial British family is the inheritor of the Celtic blood - if you consider this, the British crown returned to the Celts after 1,400 years, drawing a historical arc.

"What's wrong, dear Zhao?" Zhao Dongyang's distraction was seen by Shedham Pultas, the Cabinet Confidential Minister of the Holy British Empire, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the great nobleman of the Holy British Empire. This is a sturdy old man, although his temples are gray, but he is still radiant and his eyes are like candles; The wide face and wide mouth, coupled with the square chin, interweave a rigid toughness; A straight daily casual dress, embellished with aristocratic coats of arms and decorations, highlighting low-key nobility; Coupled with a fluent Chinese mouth, his calm voice seems to be reliable and reliable.

And here, it is a family feast belonging to the Pultas family.

"Xiao Zhao is just not used to the food of your country—you know, we Orientals prefer to eat some delicate food, honorable old Pultas." Without waiting for Zhao Dongyang to speak, Li Chulan on the side wiped his lips with a napkin elegantly and explained lightly.

"Hahaha, Li, I remember that you weren't used to eating bread back then, right?" Count Puertas laughed, and revealed Li Chulan's old bottom by the way, "I still remember when you went to the hospital for stomach acid neutralizer because of stomach reflux!" ”

Li Chulan snorted and said, "I don't know who asked me to bring snacks from China from time to time?" ”

As a result, Puertas's laughter changed from "haha" to "hehe".

"Okay, now let's get down to business......" Li Zhulan took a sip of red wine, and then said directly, "There is a strategic partnership between China and Britain against the EU......"

Zhao Dongyang almost didn't choke - just said it directly?! It's too straightforward!

"Oh?" Puertas raised his eyebrows, "Aren't we already in an alliance against the EU?" ”

"Or ...... Do you have a new consideration? ”

Facing Puertas's bright eyes, Li Chulan smiled faintly and said softly: "What kind of virtue is the current world hegemon EU, you must also know that those greedy capitalists are aggressive and have been trying to create their world free market economic system in order to harvest wealth around the world......"

Puertas nodded, "World Ranching & Shearing Program." Those businessmen have been planning for a long time and have always dreamed of it. ”

This world is different from the earth in the previous life.

In the previous life, the earth has basically achieved a free market economy of global capital, and the whole world is the same market, and capital can flow freely in every corner of the world.

In this world, there is no world market, only the economy of the Chinese Federal Republic, the European Union, the American Economic Circle, and the national economic systems of Japan and Australia.

Each economic circle has its own complete and independent industrial system, which can achieve complete self-sufficiency, so as to have no external needs. In particular, the industrial and economic systems of the Chinese Federation and the European Union are the most powerful; Because the Americas are not yet unified, the industrial and economic organization is loose, and the EU is involved; Australia's economy is mainly dependent on the EU, and secondarily on the Americas; As for Japan...... They have Sakurashi.

"So what?" Puertas asked.

"So......" Li Izuran leaned forward, "In order to show our sincerity, we, the Chinese Federation, have decided to transfer most of our share of Sakurashi at the Bayou Conference to you Britain, except for a small part reserved for scientific research purposes?" ”

Faced with this huge pie, Sheedham Puertas was expressionless and silent for a long time, only drinking two sips of red wine from a glass from time to time to moisten his tongue.

After a long while, he stared at Li Zhulan tightly, and said in a deep voice: "I have heard that the Chinese Federation has secretly researched the non-cherry stone energy system and made a substantial breakthrough...... It seems that this is indeed the case, right? ”

Li Chulan laughed ambiguously, "You Britannia, do you want this big gift?" ”

Puertas stared at the red wine in the glass, the swaying red liquid surface with the movement of his wrist, reflecting his face.

- He pursed his lips, and behind them, he gritted his teeth.

Puertas is well aware of what this news means.

However, this is impossible to refuse - after all, those cherry stones are real! If you eat it, you will strengthen the country! But if it is eaten by other countries, it will be strong and weak......

Can't refuse! Unable to refuse! No refusal!

After a long time, his eyes shifted from red wine to Li Izulan's body, "Strategic partnership? ”

Li Zhulan saluted him with a drink, "Strategic partnership." ”

Looking at the outstretched wine glass, Puertas sighed in his heart and raised his own wine glass.

The two wine glasses touched slightly, and a crystal sound sounded.

-- It was a fragile sound that belonged to glass.

Is the Chinese Federation crazy?!

The cold-colored steel fork stabbed the fat and bloody steak hard, tore off a large piece, and put it in his mouth to chew vigorously, EU Deputy Foreign Minister Ronald Quinn thought.

Because he really can't understand what the Chinese Federation is doing this move?!

Even if there is intelligence that the Chinese Federation has mature non-Sakurashi energy technology, it will not completely reject Sakuraishi, right?! Don't they know that they are harming themselves and others by doing so?! Even if you don't use it, it's good to stock it up!

"Aberfield, what do you say—what is the Chinese Federation thinking?"

The Aberfield that Ronald asked about was his permanent confidential secretary.

Aberfield was in his middle age, his face was mediocre, only a pair of narrow eyes, outlining the sharpness of the thin widow, but it was well hidden by a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

"According to intelligence, the Chinese Federation has made a breakthrough in non-cherry superconductor energy technology, which means that cherry stone is no longer a necessity for them. Naturally, you can withdraw from the situation and maintain a detached posture. ”

Pushing his glasses, Aberfield began to analyze for his governor, "And this time, the Chinese Federation transferred its Hukou Conference quota to Britain, which is nothing more than trying to nourish Britain's national strength in order to better contain our EU." By the way, this 'transfer' itself is a rein, tethered to Britain and tied to the chariot of the Chinese Federation - after all, if Britain is not obedient, then there will naturally be no 'Sakurashi quota transfer'. ”

"Is something flanking?"

"Yes." Aberfield nodded very simply, "The 'Sakurashi quota transfer' itself is a weight, or a benefit fee, requiring Britain to at least maintain ......neutrality even if it does not send troops to cooperate with the EU."

Ronald remembered some previous internal government reports that the Chinese Federation was believed to have been mobilizing forces in the direction of Siberia for some time......

Ronald couldn't help but have a headache, so he decided not to think about these troublesome things - leave it to the Ministry of Defense to have a headache!

"...... of the Chinese Federation"

"...... of the Chinese Federation"

The breeze blows into the room through the side door of the corridor.

On the rush tatami mat with a faint scent of grass, several people are sitting on the ground, led by five people, and the group has formed two circles, inside and outside.

"What do you think?"

One of them, a thin old man, swallowed the fish tart, pressed the chopsticks, looked left and right, and asked.

“…… Our Sakurashi counterbalancing strategy has been unbalanced. ”

The other old man frowned highly.

Is it more than an imbalance? It should be said that it is invalid! Fail!

With the natural high-temperature superconductor material of Sakuraite as a bargaining chip, and Japan's production of Sakura, which accounts for 70% of the world's production, as a confidence, on the world stage, with the two heavy big names of energy and economy as a means, we will artificially balance the situation of the world, and carefully wander between the two poles of the world to seek benefits. This is Japan's policy of checks and balances that has always been Sakuraishi.

All the while, this strategy has proven to work. But now, it has been fundamentally subverted by the Chinese Federation.

Because the Chinese Federation doesn't need Sakurashi anymore.

"But we can't do anything about it......"

The third old man answered.

Japan can be described as a small country with limited national strength. The reason why he was able to find his own seat on the world stage was precisely because he took advantage of the east-west pattern of the world and maintained his "transcendent position" between the east and west poles.

For the Western world, Japan, which accounts for 70% of the world's cherry blossom production, must not fall into the hands of the Chinese Federation! Otherwise, this Eastern Antarctic Empire will no longer be able to be controlled!

As far as the Chinese Federation is concerned, although Japan's-stirring stick makes people cover their noses, it must not completely fall to the EU! Otherwise, the Chinese Federation will fall into strategic passivity, and the EU's plan for an eastern encirclement network will be a complete success!

As a result, in the fragile balance maintained by the wrestling and co-opting between these two poles, Japan gained its own interests and status.

But now!

For the Chinese Federation, Japan has lost the meaning of co-opting.

And for the EU, Japan, which has lost its meaning to the Chinese Federation, has become less important - unless Japan completely falls to the EU and really constitutes an eastern encirclement network, then it can be a different matter - for the EU, as long as it can guarantee its share of Sakuraishi, it is enough.

But what about Japan?

Again, the same sentence: national strength is limited.

Japan, which has lost its role as a counterbalance, cannot do anything. Because the gap with the two world giants of the Chinese Federation and the EU is too big.

Nothing can be done, or rather, it is useless to do it.

"Should we protest and sanction the Chinese Federation and the Holy British Empire?"

The fourth old man took a hard bite of the sushi.

The fifth old man put down the wine cup, smiled faintly, and sneered: "Protest? Sanction? The transfer was only a private transaction between the Commonwealth of China and Britain. The Chinese Federation participated in the Hukou Conference, set quotas, and then 'sold' its share of Sakurashi to Britain...... Is there anything wrong with this? Did you violate any laws, regulations, or international conventions? ”

There's no way, there's no way......

Again, Japan's national strength is limited, it can't do anything, and it's useless to do it.

For a while, the five old men drank wine and served vegetables, and they were silent during the banquet, which was quite gloomy.
