Their departure did not affect the banquet in any way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info or they are too unpopular, so few people on the field pay attention to them. Come or not, go or go, the banquet will go on as usual.

But there are exceptions!

Zhang Yang, deputy director of the Daming Intelligence Department, put down his wine glass and left the table early after Magorny, Philip and others left.

The focus on the field was on Zuo Peng, Minister of Education and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, so no one noticed that Magorny, Zhang Yang and others left so coincidentally and closely, let alone think deeply about the connection between them.

However, Zuo Peng was surrounded by the American ambassador and the French ambassador, and it was difficult for ordinary people not to interject. Even if you are lucky enough to interject, you will be diverted by the American ambassador and the French ambassador. So that the topic will always revolve around the ambassadors of the two countries.

After forcing away the twenty-seventh ambassador who wanted to interject, U.S. Ambassador Jerry. Recente was a little tired of being disturbed, so he begged out loud: "Mr. Zuo, I think such a magnificent hotel should have a room that is not disturbed, right?" ”。

Zuo Peng knew what he meant, nodded and said yes.

Seeing this, the French ambassador Bruno hurriedly answered: "Then Mr. Zuo, take us there!" I'm sure that no one bothering us will make our communication more enjoyable. ”。

Zuo Peng smiled knowingly, led the two of them, and came to the small conference room on the third floor.

This time, France and the United States sent envoys from thousands of miles away. The purpose is not simple! Fortunately, Daming didn't want to simply hold a sports meeting at all. After all, there are very few opportunities for envoys from various countries to get together, and if you don't do something, wouldn't you be sorry for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Therefore, the proposal of the French and American ambassadors is exactly what Zuo Peng wants.

In fact, the ambassadors of France and the United States have respectively requested a meeting with the Ming Foreign Affairs Department. It's just that Zuo Peng's energy is focused on mediating the dispute between Siam and Myanmar, and he has never been able to spare time. Therefore, this banquet has become an opportunity for both parties to meet.

After taking his seat, French Ambassador Bruno was the first to speak: "Distinguished Mr. Minister, I have come this time with the sincerity of the French Republican Government. Hopefully, on matters in the UK, an agreement will be reached. ”。 He directly called Zuo Peng's official position, obviously wanting to discuss business. And the words are also very straightforward, revealing the willingness to deal with Britain together.

Since the execution of King Louis XVI and Queen Mary in France. Antonette, since the formation of a republican government, all European monarchies have adopted a hostile policy. Not only did they not recognize the French republican government, but they also formed an anti-French coalition. Claiming to eliminate the rebellious French monarchicides on behalf of the monarchs of the European continent.

Among them, Britain is the country that dances the most happily in the anti-French alliance. At sea, routes to France were also cut off. And to finance and support those French who support the monarchy, so that they can rebel against the French republican government at home.

This makes the gap between Britain and France deeper and deeper!

After learning that the Ming Dynasty was in Nanyang and the British were on the bar, the French republican government didn't want to think about it, so it sent Bruno over. I hope to establish an alliance with the Ming Dynasty to deal with the British.

Zuo Peng also understands these causes and effects. Pick up the fragrant Longjing tea on the table and take a sip. He smiled and said, "Of course! In British affairs, I have always been the most sincere! ”。

When the American ambassador heard this, he immediately smiled contentedly.

Although after nearly a decade of the War of Independence, the United States broke away from the arms of Britain and gained independence. But to this day, Britain has pursued a hostile policy towards the United States. And he continued to make small moves, always delusional about overthrowing the nascent United States of America.

Therefore, the old feud between Britain and the United States is also constantly cut, and the reason is still chaotic. In later generations, the two countries were hostile until the twentieth century. It was not until the outbreak of World War I that relations between the two countries gradually normalized.

This time I crossed the ocean to Daming, and I also had the same purpose.

Speaking of which, there is really a need for an alliance between the three countries, France, and the United States. Because all three countries are republics. It's just that the United States is a little special, and the republic includes federalism. But in essence, the political systems of the three countries are all much the same.

This gives the three countries a natural sense of closeness!

And the governments of the three countries have not been formed for a long time. Among them, the United States was officially recognized as independent by Britain in 1784, which is the earliest of the three countries. The Ming Dynasty was officially founded in July 1790 after the United States. The French republican government was two years and two months late, the latest to come to power.

At present, the three countries are full of contradictions with the United Kingdom, and between the three countries, they belong to three different continents. On fundamental interests, there is almost no conflict. This is the necessary basis for an alliance!

However, the alliance is only the general direction, and there are many terms and details to be paid attention to and need to be negotiated. Zuo Peng had previously been authorized by the cabinet to take full charge of the alliance between the Ming and France and the United States.

The three of them discussed the general direction of the alliance in the conference room.

First of all, it is certain to deal with the British! But how to deal with it is another matter!

After all, the three countries are too far apart, and once one country conflicts with Britain, should the other two countries join the war? If they go to war, should they send troops to the Allies? If you send troops, how many soldiers are eligible?

All possible issues should be discussed before forming an alliance. lest there be disagreements in the future, and the alliance will become a dead letter.

And the Presidential Hotel is a kilometer away in diameter, Embassy Street. The tall camphor tree stands on the street, cutting the bright moonlight into thousands of broken shadows. A faint aroma escapes and fills the street.

But Zhang Yang didn't have the heart to enjoy the hazy night scene, sitting on the branch of a camphor tree, holding a telescope, constantly observing the movement of the British Embassy opposite.

Perhaps intuitively, he always felt that the British were plotting something. Although the cause was that the British ambassador Philip and the vice president of the Heaven and Earth Society, Zhou Quan, met by chance in the church. But he was suspicious.

So he asked the Intelligence Department to intensify its surveillance of the British Embassy. Unfortunately, nothing has been gained. It wasn't that he didn't want to go to the British embassy to plant an undercover agent, but Magorny was very wary.

As soon as he arrived at the embassy, he dismissed the staff of Daming. Then he changed into a maid brought from the British mainland. and carried out a large-scale search of all rooms and corners of the embassy. The eavesdropping and monitoring equipment that Daming placed in the embassy were all collected one by one.

What's even more annoying is that this Magorny also revealed the matter of Daming's monitoring to other embassies. It took a lot of energy and tongue to appease the ambassadors of various countries. And also lost a number of precious eavesdropping, monitoring equipment.

This is all dismantled from high-speed trains and airplanes, which is a limited resource. If you destroy one, you will have one less, and there will be no place to replenish it.

It is also for this reason that the Intelligence Department hates Magorny so much. The surveillance of him is particularly cautious. Even the Intelligence Department has already planned a counterattack!

It was just this moment that Zhang Yang saw the Siamese ambassador Ba Song and the British envoy Magorny come together. With his work experience, he instinctively felt that there was a problem, so he didn't do what he thought and followed. (To be continued.) )
