Chapter 75: Standing in Formation (13)

"Secretary Bi, do we agree to accept the investigation...... "In the administrative district office of Khartoum, the center of the East African administrative region, someone made such a suggestion.

Bi Qingshan, the secretary of the administrative district, immediately said angrily: "The time has passed to solve the problem of the fire, and now the Romanians have to find a scapegoat instead of looking for the cause of the fire." There's a conspiracy in this! ”

Bi Qingshan has lost weight over the years, the climate in this ghost place in East Africa is hot, and the ghost place of Khartoum is even hotter to death. The East African Administrative Region has long considered whether to move its centre from Khartoum to a cooler south, such as Tanzania. However, the economic center of the East African administrative region is now in Sudan, and the largest economic output is also in Sudan. Such proposals are always a discussion, but no one can make up their minds.

In such a hot weather, no one will be angry. And there is another reason why Bi Qingshan's anger is so big, there were once rumors of excessive sealing in China, although Bi Qingshan himself did not believe it. But after all, there is a group of people in China who want to do this.

As a result, when many people came to East Africa to live in person, everyone's enthusiasm for separating the seal plummeted with the level of understanding of the local area. It's okay to come here to earn money for a few years and then run back home with a big ticket of money. Let those who are accustomed to the Chinese climate dominate this wild land, and those who have had such thoughts have responded with the response of "I go back to my hometown and farm better than this!" ”

After working hard to turn East Africa into a place where you can make a lot of money, Bi Qingshan's furniture has indeed reached millions. But after the guys, including Bi Qingshan, earned a total of nearly 100 million yuan, they only saw this place as a place to make money rather than a place to live.

Former Premier Bi Qingshan has already made a report asking to return to China. China also agreed to Bi Qingshan's request. So Secretary Bi Qingshan's mood is very bad, very bad. Working hard to earn nearly 10 million is not what Bi Qingshan is pursuing, he hopes that he can have a better career. The current situation is that the first generation of people who came to East Africa to pioneer are like arrows, and the second generation has no sense of belonging to East Africa at all. His Majesty Wei Ze seems to have given Bi Qingshan a chance, but this is actually Secretary Bi Qingshan's own fantasy. It's this frustration that counts.

At this point, Secretary Bi Qingshan naturally did not want to be bullied by the Romanians again before leaving East Africa. And regardless of this kind of problem, just from the point of view of the matter itself, Bi Qingshan's judgment is also correct.

Bi Qingshan said loudly: "Now there are two ways, the first is to let the Romanians release them honestly. Second, let's send warships to the Black Sea now to bring back the Chinese fleet! ”

China's Indian Ocean Fleet has a number of ports designed to counter a possible surprise attack by the British Grand Fleet. However, the British Grand Fleet could only come from the southern tip of Africa, and China could only use a fleet of 14,000-ton "old battleships" in the Red Sea to deal with it. The new 20,000-ton battleships were mainly anchored in the Chinese province of Madagascar and were used to deal with the possible appearance of the British Grand Fleet. At Port Sudan are new heavy cruisers of 9,000 tons. Those cruisers of more than 4,000 tons were basically ready to be decommissioned at this time, and they were not in the Indian Ocean at this time.

However, a 9,000-ton heavy cruiser is a god-like existence for the Romanian Navy, and there should be no problem with a warship destroying the Romanian Navy. Not to mention the fact that the Indian Ocean Fleet can send four such warships to the Black Sea for missions.

"Can the Governor agree?" Members of the East African Administrative Region's Party Committee were taken aback by such a bold move. Now there is a silent tacit understanding between China and the British, the British Navy does not come to the Indian Ocean to stir up trouble, and the Chinese Navy is also trying to enter the Mediterranean Sea to show its presence. If Bi Qingshan's view wants to be realized, it is equivalent to breaking this tacit understanding.

Bi Qingshan glared and said categorically: "It is the governor's business to agree or not, and what we report is our business." How? Draft a report and send it to the Governor now! ”

Weezer didn't expect things to come to this point, and the Romanians had the audacity to intercept Chinese merchant ships. According to the report, the fire in Constanta did cause heavy losses to the Romanians, and it was because of such heavy losses that Weezer could probably conclude that it was not done by the Chinese. Burning half of Constanta will only cause significant losses to China's interests, and the Chinese will have a gross advantage for China to do such a bad thing. So at this time, China really has no reason to scapegoat this incident.

"Chinese businessmen have always been law-abiding, and when they do business around the world, the state naturally has an obligation to protect their interests." During the discussion in the Central Committee, Li Xin, who had already returned to China, expressed his views.

Hu Chenghe, a military representative, said with a cold face: "If you agree with the Romanians' approach, then there are two things in this matter, and other countries will follow suit." There is really no reason for China to have such an impression of China in other countries. ”

No one spoke from the standpoint of agreeing with the attitude of the Romanians, and Nguyen Hee Ho took over, "The reason why the British are so good is because the British have never hesitated to use force to defend British interests. If the British ship that ran first this time, would the Romanians dare to intercept it? They dared to intercept, and the British Mediterranean fleet was immediately dispatched! It is because we cannot use our naval power in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea that the Romanians dare to do anything to our merchant ships. ”

By the time Bi Qingshan's report was sent to the central authorities, everyone's stance was more hawkish.

Weezer had neither a good nor a bad feeling for Romania. But this is true, there is no reason why Chinese merchant ships should be treated so unjustifiably. It's not the 21st century, there are cameras everywhere, and a lot of clues are easy to spot. Even if there were such means, the Malaysia Airlines plane disappeared when it was said to be gone, and there was no real statement after the Malaysia Airlines plane was shot down. At the end of the nineteenth century, the reliability of the results of the Romanian survey was also very low.

Sending the navy to resolve the conflict between China and Romania seems like a necessary step.

However, this step will be very difficult, starting with the issue of the Chinese Navy's access to the Black Sea. This will have to be negotiated with Britain and the Ottoman Empire, and if the negotiations fail, it will be really difficult for China to do so.

So the Ministry of Foreign Affairs began to act, two important sea routes, the Suez Canal and the Bosbrus Strait, the Suez Canal was controlled by the British, and the Bosbrus Strait was controlled by the Ottoman Empire.

Communication with the British was not so easy, and the British told China very implicitly, "Britain does not agree with China's use of force to solve judicial problems!" ”

You're a fucking X! The Chinese ambassador to the UK scolded in his heart. The British themselves are a model of using force to resolve judicial conflicts with other countries, and the number of times the British have used warships to threaten other countries is really too numerous to mention. A-stirring stick is a-stirring stick, and when you say such things, your face will not change color and your heart will not beat.

But the Chinese ambassador to Britain did not come to tear his face with the British, and the ambassador asked: "So what does the British side think about this?" ”

"This matter is a judicial issue, and we in the UK believe that it should be resolved through judicial channels." The British Foreign Minister replied.

Staring into the eyes of the British Foreign Minister, the Chinese ambassador to the UK waved his hand, "I am not asking whether this question is a judicial issue or a diplomatic issue, I want to ask whether Britain will allow Chinese warships to pass through the Suez Canal, and according to the regulations of the canal, this canal does not prevent any navy from passing through." ”

The Chinese ambassador to the UK said this, and the British foreign minister actually raised an official tone, "We have to study this matter!" ”

The Chinese ambassador to Britain was furious, and he said coldly: "Even if you Britain can study the Suez Canal, but if our fleet goes to Gibraltar, you British probably don't need to study it." ”

These words made the British Foreign Minister's face change, but the people who eat diplomatic meals still have the least self-cultivation. Threatened by China in this way, the British Foreign Minister just snorted coldly, "Regarding the fact that the Chinese fleet can pass through the Suez Canal, we in Britain must make a careful study." ”

The British are no wonder about this, the Chinese believe that the Chinese fleet is blocked in the Black Sea, which is tolerable and intolerable, and there can be no two if there is one. Isn't it intolerable for the British to enter the Mediterranean and Black Seas to carry out "diplomatic missions" backed by force? It is also impossible for the British to accept another strong man rushing into the bathtub of their own house to take a bath together.

The Chinese ambassador to the UK, however, did not have to be tough on diplomatic occasions, he continued to ask: "Let's look at it from another angle, we hope that the British side can come forward to help solve the current problem, can the UK help solve it in a short time?" ”

The British Foreign Minister rolled his eyes slightly, "If your country wants Britain to intervene in this matter, then we can discuss it." ”

The diplomatic conference went very hard, and the Chinese foreign minister ended up with the result that "Britain is not happy to see China in the Black Sea so often!" "It turned out that the British wanted China to withdraw from trade in the Black Sea area, and the Black Sea region still had the final say in the British area.

Having endured the unhappiness, the Chinese ambassador to the United Kingdom briefed China on the latest situation. At this time, the emotions in the center also exploded.

"Do the British want to withdraw from trade in the Indian Ocean?" The new commander of the Navy, Liu Sha, said angrily.

China's purpose in keeping India is to take hostages. Europe has a population of just over 300 million, and India has a similar population, and these more than 300 million Indians are also dumping grounds for the British. If China wants to cut off trade between Britain and India, it has the means and the strength to do so. The British actually demanded that China withdraw from the Black Sea trade at this time, and this attitude really made China feel that the British were a little crazy.

Weeser was of course very angry, but he was a man from the 21st century, and the attitude of the British was not incomprehensible. Moreover, this incident was originally only a contradiction and conflict between China and Romania, and even if the interests of other countries were involved, the main contradiction was not the contradiction between China and the Mediterranean and Black Sea powers. Moreover, the purpose of China's naval dispatch is to establish its authority and prevent such problems from easily occurring in the future, and it is far from the time to compete with European powers for freedom of navigation in the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

Unexpectedly, after Wei Ze took out this attitude, he was actually opposed by a lot of people. Liu Sha, the new commander of the navy, said: "Governor, I think that this is the time for us to get the right of free navigation. If we don't have the right to freedom of navigation, then it is impossible to eliminate such things in any way. Only when our navy can protect our civilian ships in any sea area can we be regarded as a world maritime power. Otherwise, we would be just a naval power in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. I think the time has come for our Chinese Navy to go to the whole world! Then it's time for the seas, which we once couldn't access, to open up to us! ”
