"The Republic of China inherited the legal system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Republic of China must be the object of negotiation when any question involving the Xiangjiang River is involved, and the Republic of China will not recognize any negotiations and agreements made by the British on the Xiangjiang River in the mainland!"

At this time, the national capital, which had retreated to Yizhou, also began to jump down the mountain. At the time of the Sino-British negotiations on the Xiangjiang issue, Sun Yunxuan, president of the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China, said so in response to a question raised by a legislator.

"Can't you really get the right to govern......" Thatcher said with a wry smile to Jeffrey, who nodded helplessly and said: "The attitude of the Chinese side is extremely tough, and I can see that they are obviously impatient......

"On the other side of the river, we found that many of their veterans who had retired from the battlefield in Vietnam were gathering, and most of them were gathered in their current development zone, Jiangkou. And it's just a river's distance from the Xiangjiang River......"

The next word, Jeffrey didn't say much. But Thatcher knew very well: if the Chinese side wanted to launch it, then it would only rely on the little British troops in Xiangjiang, and the mercenaries would be nothing more than chickens and dogs.

The Chinese side could directly destroy the British forces in Xiangjiang at any time, and if the British wanted to mobilize a fleet to support, it would take at least several months to prepare. By the time the fleet was ready, the battle would have been over.

Moreover, the parliament will never agree to go to war with China directly because of a small Xiangjiang. Because no one is sure of victory, but the possibility of being defeated is relatively high.

The Chinese side is not Argentina, they have a complete air force and army. The army was strong enough to completely sweep away the British troops from afar. Thinking of this, Thatcher smiled helplessly.

What can she say?! If it was the most glorious thing in the British Empire, she would not have to say a word. If you're not convinced, then get ready to fight. But now, the identities of both sides have been reversed.

Now it is the Chinese side that says to them: not convinced?! Then go back and prepare, you don't give us to get it yourself!"

"Let's fight for it...... At least in terms of legislation and garrisons. We're going to have a voice......" Thatcher said to Jeffrey, crushing her last hope. Jeffrey, on the other hand, did not speak.

"Perhaps...... We can use some means......" Jeffrey said thoughtfully to Thatcher, "We need some reporters, if they report on something." We only need to grasp some of their handles, then I believe that the Chinese side will compromise......"

In the next few days, some media in Xiangjiang will meet with a group of special people. Without exception, they all had a white face, and they came and went in a hurry. And then. Some female journalists were sent to the imperial capital to take charge of the interviews.

"In terms of sovereignty, we can make some concessions. Governing power can be discussed......" Finally, the negotiations resumed again, and the British people talked a lot more this time: "However, we hope that the Chinese side will not garrison troops in Xiangjiang ......"

"What do you mean not to garrison in Xiangjiang?! We are restoring our sovereignty, and do we need your consent to station troops in our own sovereign territory?! What kind of bandit logic is this?! The Chinese negotiators then frowned and roared.

The people on the British side were obviously frightened, but they continued: "Oops~! Our British Empire is far away from Xiangjiang, so we will send a small number of troops to be stationed there, why do you send troops so close?! ”

"And. The dispatch of troops would greatly affect the confidence of the local population. It can trigger a widespread panic, which can be retracted and have a detrimental effect. Therefore, we hope that the Chinese side will carefully consider the issue of garrisoning troops......"

"We must garrison! This issue is non-negotiable! The supreme leader looked coldly at the negotiators who reported to him, and said in a deep voice: "We can't be Li Hongzhang, and we can't be poked in the backbone by future generations!" This issue is not negotiable! ”

At this time, a group of reporters with ulterior motives began to gather in the imperial capital. This group of people is gearing up, ready to "break" a huge news here, so that they can earn that fame and profit......

Liang Sanping squinted his eyes and smiled at the somewhat dazzling sunlight. This teahouse is still very good. The décor is quaint and in the middle of a mountain col. From a distance, it looks like a hidden Taoist temple.

There was a slight noise behind Liang Sanping. You don't need to look at Liang Sanping to know. It must have been the leopard and the tiger, they didn't feel at ease to follow, but in order to avoid embarrassment, they chose to lurk.

Thinking of this, Liang Sanping couldn't help but laugh dumbly, after all these years, the latent skills of these two are still so bad. Liang Sanping remembered that Head Li scolded the two of them back then. But these two are unrepentant and still persist.

I had no choice but to throw them into the commando. If they were to be taken prisoner again, it would be a disservice to them. Sure enough, they did a good job in the commando. Both tactical and operational awareness are strong.

Liang Sanping walked slowly along the stone path. The car couldn't get up when it drove down the hill. The rest of the way is on foot. Fortunately, there are people along the way to show you how to go, and when you get to the foot of the mountain, you can see this teahouse.

In such a secluded place, who would come to drink tea?! The lurking leopard and Ah Hu were muttering, but Liang Sanping was not muttering. He knew that this was the first question the old man gave him.

A teahouse in the barren mountains and mountains. Do you dare to come?! And Liang Sanping's answer was that he naturally dared to come. So he stepped on the bluestone slab, enjoyed the scenery along the way from time to time, and slowly entered the temple gate.

"Welcome Mr. Liang~! I am the housekeeper of the Chen family, you can call me Ah Si. Standing at the door was an old man about fifty years old in a riding coat. The old man bowed slightly to Liang Sanping, and said with a smile: "Our master is already waiting for you inside, welcome your arrival......

"Thank you, old man......" Liang Sanping smiled at the old man and said, "Please help guide the way......"

Liang Sanping was as if he was generous, and bowed slightly to the old man and said softly. This made this old man look high, if Liang Sanping's age was in his thirties and forties, it would not be surprising.

But it is very difficult for a young man who looks to be in his early twenties to be able to maintain neither arrogance nor humility under such circumstances. At least this old man, who has been walking the rivers and lakes with Old Man Chen for many years, has not seen the change in Liang Sanping's feelings.

Alone, the prospect of coming here is unknown. In this case, there is no change in the situation. Liang Sanping's point at least made the old man nod secretly. Of course, on the surface he wouldn't make any representations.

Under the guidance of this old man, Liang Sanping quietly stepped into this small courtyard. The yard looks small, but it is very elegant. It has the beauty of Jiangnan charm, rockery, flowing water, small bridges, and green bamboo.

Crossing the front yard and bypassing the rockery, you will see a foyer here. Until now, Liang Sanping has never seen a second person except for this old man. But he was still not anxious, and followed the old man with a smile.

After the front hall, you can see a water pavilion on the rockery in the lake behind the hall. The sound of the murmuring water is a sign that the water here is alive and not stagnant. Liang Sanping even saw the water flowing from the culvert under his feet.

It wasn't until he walked here that Liang Sanping saw the second person he saw after coming in. It was an old man with a white beard, but I saw him wearing a navy blue simple horse coat, just making tea on the water pavilion so peacefully.

"Master, the guests are here......" The old man led Liang Sanping to the water pavilion, bowed slightly to the white-bearded old man, and then turned to leave. Throw Liang Sanping directly here.

At this time, the old man with a fluttering white beard was pouring tea. This is a bamboo tea table, and a complete set of kung fu tea tea sets is placed in the tea tray. Gaiwan, tea sea, smelling cup, teacup, tea filter, tea clip, saucer, tea tray, tea towel...... Everything but the kitchen sink.

But I saw that the old man's hands did not tremble at all, washing tea and brewing filter tea like flowing water. Liang Sanping could see that the old man's kung fu could not be practiced in a day or two. It is clearly the foundation of drinking tea for decades.

"Come, sit. Please tea. The old man picked up the tea with a saucer and put it in front of Liang Sanping with a slight smile: "Tieguanyin in Anxi, this year's new tea." ”

Liang Sanping smiled: "The elder gave it, but I didn't dare to resign." As he spoke, he bowed slightly to the old man and sat down on the chair of the water pavilion.

Tea, sure enough, is good tea. Before drinking, I have already smelled the aroma of tea, and the hot mountain spring water is baked out of the tandoor charcoal fire, and the tea that comes out of the tea is really very fragrant.

The two did not speak again, but quietly sipped the tea. When the tea soup was drunk, he saw the old man smiling and refilling Liang Sanping's cup. Still didn't speak. Liang Sanping bowed slightly, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table to show his gratitude.

"I'm Chen Qian, you can tell me if you have any requirements." After three cups of tea, the old man looked at Liang Sanping and said softly. Liang Sanping raised his eyes and looked at the old man, and said softly: "I am Liang Sanping, I don't have any requirements." Just one fair. ”

This old man is naturally Chen Qian. This is the old man who has been in Xiangjiang from the Republic of China to the present. is also the Chen Gan who forced the governor of Xiangjiang to sell his face.

"Please tea!" Chen Qian did not directly respond to Liang Sanping's words, but poured Liang Sanping a cup of tea again. Liang Sanping was still light and light, smiling and bowing to knock on the table.

"When people get old, there will always be times when their hearts are soft. Although he made mistakes, he was his own blood descendant after all. After a while, Chen Qian said softly: "In the past, if I did such a humiliating thing, I would definitely kill it with my own hands and give you an explanation." But now, I'm older after all......"

Liang Sanping shook his head: "I want to confess, not to die." If it's going to kill me, I'll do it myself. Admittedly, I wanted his life at first, but now I feel that although he is a bastard, he is not guilty of death. (To be continued......)
