Shen Yuehai and the soldiers also stood in the blazing sun, but compared to the angry and restless foreign engineers, they were completely unconcerned about such a scorching heat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sound of trucks rumbling through the streets outside the courtyard from time to time, as well as the sound of the PLA soldiers running in a firm and uniform manner as they mobilized and assembled, contrasted the atmosphere in the courtyard with more tension and seriousness.

Sweat slid down the sideburns and noses of the PLA soldiers, but they were unconscious, and they stuck to their posts motionless like javelins.

The beads of sweat rolled down made their angular facial features and firm and serious eyes even more handsome and dazzling, it was not sweat, it was polished steel sand.

The sun is like fire, the soldiers are almost integrated with the steel guns in their hands, and in their hearts, the current self is no longer themselves, but the Great Wall of steel guarding the dignity of the motherland and the nation!

The arrogant protest and outrageous cries of the British engineers were extinguished in an instant, and they looked nervously at Mr. Nash.

Mr. Nash's handkerchief had been stained over and over again, but he wiped the sweat from his face again, leaving a distinct black ash on his Scotsman's hooked nose.

Mr. Nash glanced up at the officers standing on the steps, his eyes did not dare to meet Shen Yuehai, who was condescending and majestic, but he was still short-tempered by the momentum on his body, and subconsciously turned his eyes away.

In comparison, the gentle and easy-going Chen Jingming looks much easier to speak, Mr. Nash glanced at Dong Hexuan, and there are some things he will never put down his body to say.

Fortunately, Dong Hexuan is very good at observing words and feelings, and hurriedly went to negotiate with Chen Jingming, "Comrade Chief of Staff, can we sit down and talk?" Applying for asylum is not a trivial matter, so please give us a separate space to discuss. ”

You have to walk out of this little yard first! Or find a cool place to drink a glass of water and wash up. How could the delicate British engineers suffer like this!

Chen Jingming was very easy-going, with a textbook-like standard diplomatic smile on his face, "Of course you can." We are very willing to provide help and convenience to foreign friends. We will arrange it as soon as martial law is lifted. Now that it's happened suddenly, the situation is exceptional, and we're trapped here, so please wait. ”

Dong Hexuan looked at the PLA officers and soldiers standing under the scorching sun like them, but couldn't find any words.

The People's Liberation Army didn't drink water and rest, and the officers also accompanied them to dry and dry, what can they say under special circumstances?

Interpreting Chen Jingming's words, Mr. Nash excitedly said a series of words to Dong Hexuan, and the British engineers behind him also echoed with indignation.

After listening to this, Dong Hexuan straightened out the placket and tie of his suit, and translated solemnly, "Mr. Nash, on behalf of all our British engineers, protests against the barbarism and unreasonableness of your army and government!" The British government and embassy will also send an official diplomatic note to your government as soon as possible! ”

Chen Jingming and Shen Yuehai glanced at each other, and the smile on their faces had receded cleanly when they faced the British again, "Is this a formal diplomatic protest made by Mr. Nash on behalf of the British engineer team?" ”

Dong Hexuan nodded solemnly, "Yes." ”

Chen Jingming nodded, "Then ask Mr. Nash to bring it up in person." ”

Dong Hexuan glanced at the serious Chen Jingming suspiciously, and still translated it for Mr. Nash.

Mr. Nash's face was flushed with the sun, and he repeated it in his most arrogant tone and gesture with his chin raised against the black ash on the bridge of his nose.

Chen Jingming listened carefully, did not use Dong Hexuan's translation, and replied more formally and seriously, "I'm sorry, Mr. Nash, I can't understand English." ”

Dong Hexuan hurriedly asked for a translator, but Chen Jingming raised his hand to interrupt him, "Mr. Dong, without an official diplomatic translator appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, we cannot confirm the accuracy of the information, and we will not accept any formal diplomatic request from your country's engineering team." I also ask you to formally confirm these requests with the interpreter appointed by our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

Dong Hexuan was a little anxious, "Comrade Chief of Staff! We just had a very good exchange! ”

Chen Jingming spread his hands, "First, we just had an unofficial private exchange, which is to provide convenient rights and interests for foreign friends, and only represents my personal views. Second, China's state system is one of non-interference between the military and the government, and we cannot substitute for the diplomatic department in exercising its powers.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country has appointed four diplomatic interpreters with the approval of your embassy, and you can directly submit any comments and requests to them, and on behalf of the local garrison in Peizhou, I would like to assure you that I will do my best to assist them in reporting as soon as possible and give you a reply as soon as possible. ”

After Chen Jingming finished speaking, he added another sentence very thoughtfully, "As for asking for tea and water in private, of course it will not be so formal, and please ask Mr. Dong to tell your colleagues that after the end of martial law, we will definitely provide you with all the conveniences of life." ”

Dong Hexuan looked at Chen Jingming deeply a few times, and was so blocked by him that he couldn't say a word!

There is no loophole in his words, and his attitude is no matter how gentle and polite he is, even if everyone knows that he is talking nonsense with his eyes open and deliberately delaying his embarrassment, there is nothing he can do in diplomatic rhetoric!

Four translators officially appointed by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs were chased away before they could return to the hotel! They have him, a China expert, and they are about to return to the British Embassy, where do they need a few Chinese who are in the way of their eyes!

Who would have thought that they would be trapped here?!

Now what? People are driven away by their own fierce words and even unreasonable, and they are trapped here by the Chinese, so where can they find people?

But if there is no translation, the Chinese army is pretending to be stupid, what can they do?

The dirty handkerchief in Mr. Nash's hand had been crumpled into a rag, and the sweat had soaked through his clothes, and many engineers had lost their image and began to take off their suits and put them on their heads to shade the sun, but they were still dizzy and thirsty from the sun.

However, the officers and men of the Chinese army remained motionless, not affected by the scorching heat at all, and stood energetic and motionless, as if they were going to spend time with them until they were old!

Even more anxious is the heart, their luggage has been confiscated by the Chinese army, and they themselves know best what is inside, once opened, it is a big question whether they can leave this land or not!

Now it's not just about the confrontation and consumption of physical endurance!

Dong Hexuan discussed with Mr. Nash in a low voice, "Sir, we must contact the embassy staff and the company as soon as possible, the sooner the better!" It is only through formal diplomatic means that the Chinese government is under pressure to return our personal property without opening our luggage. ”

Mr. Nash certainly understands this.

Now the Chinese army can't open their luggage without permission, but the night is long and dreamy, who knows what will happen in the next hour? They are too passive to meet such a group of savage and cunning soldiers on other people's land!
