Chapter 164: Crisis Spread (6)

When the American counselor rushed into the ambassador's office with a newspaper, he couldn't find anyone, and when he asked about the secretary, the secretary couldn't help but smile with a thief on his face. Seeing this smile, the counselor understood that the American ambassador was only afraid that at this time it was on the belly of the French girl.

After walking back and forth like ants on a hot pot a few times, the counselor finally chose to sit on the sofa and wait. Rushing to the tryst to find the ambassador would be too damaging to the ambassador's face, not to mention that the French lady was still a married woman. The French ambassador's head is green, and everyone can laugh and talk about it in private, but it can't be punctured.

The secretary saw that the counselor was so anxious, and there was nothing to do at this time. He talked to the counselor with the intention of chatting, trying to pass the boring time. The counselor slapped the newspaper in front of the secretary, "China is shouting for war with the United States!" ”

"Oh?" The secretary really didn't think it was a big deal. Over the past few years, US newspapers have repeatedly advocated the "China threat theory," as well as the defense theory and the preemptive strike theory. If the American newspapers could be believed, the United States would have fought many wars with China a long time ago.

The counsellor was speechless about the ignorance of the secretary, and unlike the American newspapers, which were afraid of unsensational headlines, there was little clear hostility in the Chinese newspapers. As the mouthpieces of the government, Chinese newspapers speak of official attitudes. When the Chinese newspapers clamed out about the war, the Chinese authorities were afraid that they had already made a clear decision.

I didn't want to tell the secretary such a simple truth, but the counselor's psychological pressure was too great, and in the end he couldn't help but make his words clear. The secretary actually had a hippie smile in the face of the counselor with a serious expression, "I think you are too worried, China's navy and land forces have not moved, how can they start a war?" Even if there is such a situation, it must be our country that will give us news first. ”

Seeing that the counselor was about to argue, the secretary put away some hippie smiles, "I think this may be a measure by China to sell the United States to Japan." ”

"Look clearly, this is an article in the "Liberation Army Daily"!" The counsellor shouted as he poked his finger at the newspaper sign.

The secretary looked down, and sure enough, it was the military newspaper "Liberation Army Daily", although he was still a little disapproving, the secretary finally looked at the newspaper seriously. The article was titled "Is America Our Worst Enemy?" "Well, after reading it, the secretary thought it was nothing. The American newspaper said that "the Sino-American war will begin in 188X", and this kind of content is repetitive, and alarmist articles are repeated every year, but the headline will increase from "187X" to "188X" every year.

"And what are you going to do?" The secretary roughly skimmed through the contents and asked the counselor.

"Be sure to ask the ambassador to ask the Chinese Foreign Ministry in person." The counselor replied solemnly.

"What if the Chinese Foreign Ministry takes out our newspaper?" The secretary looks at the low position, but is actually responsible for arranging the ambassador's schedule, making various preparations for the ambassador, and even helping the ambassador formulate many policies. Now let's discuss and prepare the problem first, and when the time comes to get to work, the secretary will not be at a loss.

"Our newspaper is privately run, and it's the official Chinese newspaper. The two are not the same thing at all, and this is similar to the US State Department issuing a press release of 'Are we going to declare war on China?' China will definitely come to formally inquire. "The string of struggle is very tight in the counselor's heart, and this cannot be blamed on the counselor for being so nervous, because there is really a great sense of crisis in the United States. If it weren't for China's amazing naval strength and the weak US Navy's Pacific Fleet, I am afraid that a local conflict would have broken out long ago.

Wait, wait, wait, in the afternoon, the iron door of the U.S. Embassy in China was wide open, and a car drove into the courtyard. The U.S. ambassador got out of the car first with a spring breeze on his face, and then held the top edge of the door with his hand. This very gentlemanly and considerate approach was learned from the Chinese side, and it is said that the Emperor of the Republic of China, His Majesty Wei Ze, took his wife on a car trip. When people have personally touched the door of the car with their heads, or have seen it with their own eyes, such thoughtful actions quickly became popular.

Out of the car was the French ambassador's wife, dressed in beautiful clothes and wearing a hat decorated with pheasant feathers. Walking into the main hall of the U.S. Embassy in three-inch high heels, the smell of French perfume immediately spread.

When the counselor saw this scene, he was actually a little disappointed in his heart. In fact, it is indeed unrealistic for the ambassador to openly seduce the wives of ambassadors of other countries into bed, but the United States is a conservative country, and it is still much more conservative than European countries that engage in sexual relations. The American ambassador often went out for a ride with the French ambassador's wife, which seemed easy to think about that in the American senses.

The work report had to be postponed a little, and the American ambassador and the French ambassador's wife had afternoon tea and had a close chat for a while. The U.S. Embassy sent a car to take his wife back, and it was the counselor's turn to speak.

After listening to the report and carefully reading the Chinese newspapers, the US ambassador's face became gloomy. The contents of the newspaper are not uncommon by the standards of American newspapers, and they are nothing more than an exposition of the hostility of the United States towards China and then a speculation about the attitude of the United States at home. Finally, it is possible that the United States will launch a surprise attack on China's North American provinces. Based on this, it is possible to make suggestions for China's future strategy.

The US ambassador to China is actually very aware that the debate in the United States is mainly defensive in nature. How crazy it would be to have an all-out war with an industrial country of 800 million people to make such a decision. Even the members of parliament are alarmist, but their views on war are defensive. It's just that there are many arms dealers behind the parliamentarians, and the arms dealers can bring them huge profits by hyping up the topic of war. Since the end of the Civil War, the size of the U.S. Army has been less than 100,000 people, so the demand for the military industry is very low. Completely unable to satisfy the appetite of arms dealers. In the international market, the weapons of Great Britain, Germany, and China are insurmountable obstacles for the United States.

Foreign Minister Li Xin had already read the contents of the "Liberation Army Daily" when he received a phone call from the US ambassador, and the restlessness of the old brothers naturally broke out first in their one-third of an acre. Advocating war and then firmly grasping the power of the army is undoubtedly the plan of the old brothers. As for whether there will really be a war with the United States, Li Xin is not sure. There is only one thing he can be sure of, if China and the United States go to war, it will be a major event that will shake the world. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to make a lot of preparations before the war, and since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had been calm so far, it meant that Governor Wei Zedu had no intention of going to war at all.

There is a great chance that there is no chance that the major events that Governor Wezedu has planned will not happen.

"What's wrong with writing articles in newspapers? Aren't American newspapers still predicting a war between China and the United States this year? Li Xin responded slowly and methodically in fluent Mandarin to the American ambassador's broken Chinese. China is a strong country, and ambassadors of various countries have to forcibly learn Chinese first. In Li Xin's view, broken Chinese is also a basic rule. Interpreters are still needed when the two sides formally negotiate, but usually in Chinese.

"We don't believe in this kind of speculation at all, but when the Chinese official newspaper says so, do you think it can be the same?" The American ambassador came prepared, and the questions were acute.

"Isn't the United States also clamoring for freedom of speech? Didn't the U.S. military shout about war with China? What's wrong with our military expressing their opinion? Not to mention that the Chinese military's concern for the United States is not without reason. Whether it is American propaganda or troop movements, is it really completely friendly? Could it be that the Chinese army is no longer able to express its anger in the newspapers? You're too domineering. Li Xin's answer was not polite.

After this kind of dialogue, which was not even a war of words, ended, Li Xin did not take the affairs of the United States to heart. At the Central Work Conference the next day, when he left after talking about work, he chatted with Wang Mingshan about the matter. Wang Mingshan's view is the same as Li Xin's, "If the old brothers really want to fight, then it would be good to directly ask for war with Britain." Why bother looking for the United States as a target. ”

Li Xin nodded slightly, it was the navy that fought with the British. Most of the old brothers can't get their hands on it. The United States is the only object of all-out war with the army as the mainstay, and they have come up with such a gimmick.

Neither the central bank's governor nor the foreign minister thought it was a big deal, and Governor Wezedu was still there, and Governor Wezedu was determined to carry out the retirement system to the end. Li Xin and the others may not really want to retire, but they really annoy the governor, and the two young old brothers are estimated to be able to enjoy a generous pension immediately.

Only one article was sent, and the upper echelons didn't take it seriously, and Li Xin thought that this matter would end there.

On September 1, the streets of New York were bustling with people. A sedan has a Chinese flag in the rearview mirror outside the door, and the United States, as a copycat country, also has its own car. However, this kind of car is not so much a car as a three-wheeled motorcycle powered by a gasoline engine. Because of horsepower, the carrying capacity of American cars is very limited. There is no outer shell, only a wooden awning above the seats.

There is no hydraulic transmission or gear set transmission, and the steering wheel of American cars uses a very simple transmission. There is only one wheel in the front row, which is to make it easier to control the direction. Although China's products are far from being as "humanized" as in the 21st century, China's alloy metals are better, and some load-bearing gear sets can be more complicated. The whole body is naturally magnificent.

Cars are a novelty, and there are no traffic laws in place in the United States. Horse-drawn carts, bullock carts, bicycles, and automobiles littered the roads. This makes it even more difficult to move on the already congested roads.

Chinese drivers had to work hard to honk their horns in the hope of getting through this stretch of road as soon as possible. At this moment, several American policemen walked up to the car of the Chinese embassy with black faces. Without speaking, the police picked up their batons and slammed the window glass. The driver and the guards were shocked, and the guards immediately got out of the car to try to stop the evil deeds of the mob police. The police didn't say anything, and immediately fought the Chinese guards. The New York police gathered more and more, and the Chinese guards were unable to resist the crowd. In addition to the guards being beaten, even the driver and ambassador were dragged out by the New York police and beaten violently.

After the investigation, the US side claimed that the Chinese side took the lead. And the decrypted files after that show completely different content. For the Chinese who travel in luxury cars, the United States has accumulated too much envy and jealousy, and when this sentiment reaches its peak, the New York police, known for their ferocity and barbarism, explodes.

The beating of ambassadors and the smashing of vehicles are extremely serious problems for any country. Even Wei Ze, who was unwilling to return to Nanjing immediately, had to take the train back to Nanjing.
