Chapter 324: You can't go home empty-handed
In a quaintly decorated room, Zhang Qun and Chen Cheng were talking to Edmund and Morin after a full meal.
"Mr. Edmund, although your government has recalled all the military delegations to China to China, our government and Chairman Chiang are very nostalgic for the previous cooperation between your two countries.
Edmund, who was born as a counselor, was naturally familiar with such a scene, and saw him smile slightly: "Thank you to your government and Chairman Chiang, in fact, as far as I am concerned, I am also full of good feelings for your government, and I am also full of warm memories when I think back to my life in your country over the years, and I think even if I return to Germany in the future, I will not forget so many friends." β
Chen Cheng's eyelids twitched twice, he was worthy of being a counselor, and it sounded very touching at first glance when he said so many words, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is full of nonsense, and there is not even a useful sentence.
Zhang Qun smiled slightly, as if he had already prepared for Edmund's words, and he continued: "Mr. Edmund, China and Germany are both big countries, we have great influence in Europe and Asia, and the most important thing is that we do not have any direct conflicts of interest with each other, we have such a strong complementary relationship, why can't we cooperate better?" I feel very sorry to think that your country had so blatantly severed its relations with our country a year ago. Therefore, I have come here on the request of Chairman Chiang to re-establish contact with your government and to resume normal exchanges between the two countries. I wonder what Mr. Edmund thinks? β
Edmund's face showed a professional smile again, but there was a secret sigh in his heart, he naturally knew Zhang Qun's intention. However, it was by no means up to him, as a counselor, to re-establish relations with the Nationalist Government, and it was a decision made by the FΓΌhrer himself, because compared with Japan, the industrial, political, and economic level of China was too low, and it was not in the interests of the German-Italian Empire to restore relations with China.
He thought for a while before he said word by word: "Dean Zhang, I can understand what you said. However, the fact that you have said about the resumption of normal exchanges between the two countries is too great for me to promise you anything, and all I can do is to report your words to my government. Then it is up to our government to decide, I say this in the hope that you will understand. β
The meaning of Edmund's words is obvious, what you say is too relevant to be decided by me, a small counselor. So don't waste your time.
Zhang Qun was silent for a long time. Only then did he ask: "Mr. Edmund, there is one thing I don't understand, since you said that you will wait for the government's authorization before replying, but what is the matter with your visit to Nanchang this time?" Also, I found that General Su Jin seems to have a deep relationship with your country, otherwise it would not be as small as a rifle and as large as the latest tanks, isn't this contrary to your country's policy? β
Zhang Qun is worthy of being an old oilman in officialdom, and he easily changed the topic with one sentence. And in and out of his words, he is accusing the German government of engaging in double standards, don't you say that it has severed ties with our government? Then why is it related to Su Jin again? You know, he's a general in my country, how can you explain that?
Edmund was slightly stunned, and then said lightly: "Dean Zhang, the matter about General Su is actually just an accident, I came here just to investigate the sudden poison gas incident in the Battle of Wanjialing, which has nothing to do with the relationship between our government and China. We are also curious about why there are so many of our standard weapons in his troops, and we are investigating this. β
"Shameless...... It's so shameless. β
Hearing this, Zhang Qun's face turned a little pale with anger, in his opinion, this Edmund simply didn't take him seriously. We also felt very strange and shirked the responsibility lightly, these things were not provided to Su Jin by you, could it be that he conjured them out of thin air?
Here I have to say that Zhang Qun and Edmund both misunderstood, in Edmund's opinion, Su Jin was likely to have the secret support of a certain country, so he had the ability to imitate so many standard weapons of the empire. In Zhang Qun's opinion, Su Jin must have reached some kind of secret agreement with the Germans, otherwise where would he get so many weapons to equip his troops.
I have to say that when two guys with ghosts come into contact, it is easy to misunderstand, especially without trust, it is easier for two people to misunderstand when they talk like they are playing dumb riddles.
When it came to this, both sides were silent, there was no way, it was too difficult for the two sides to communicate without a common language. And after seeing Edmund's attitude, Zhang Qun was also aggrieved, after all, as a pro-German faction, he was now rejected by the Germans thousands of miles away, how could he stand it.
At this time, Chen Cheng, who had been beside him and did not speak, spoke slowly: "Mr. Edmund, how to formulate foreign policy is the business of your government, but I have to remind you that Huaxia is a big country, although China is still very weak now, but one day we will become stronger, your government in order to form an alliance with Japan and sever relations with our country is undoubtedly very wrong in my opinion, one day your country will have consequences for this decision, since you have said this, then I can only express regret." β
After speaking, Chen Cheng stood up and said goodbye to Edmund and the others and left the room.
Then Zhang Qun quickly followed, and sighed helplessly: "I originally thought that even if the Germans cut off contact with me, but for the sake of the past friendship, they should have expressed something to us, but I never thought that they would be so ruthless!" β
Chen Cheng sneered: "Gong Zhang, a weak country has no diplomacy, our country is now a weak country, naturally it can't arouse their interest, and it should be right to give us a look, who makes us have no capital, if you want people to respect us, first of all, our waist must be stiffened, otherwise who will look at us." β
Zhang Qunchang sighed, "Yes, a weak country has no diplomacy, our country is so weak, no wonder people look down on us, it seems that we are going to return in vain this time." β
"Who said that, since we are here, we naturally can't go back empty-handed, since there is such a rich man here, it's good for us to fight the autumn breeze, maybe there will be unexpected gains!" (To be continued.) )
