After waiting for more than two hours, Zhang Yang also provided a lot of blood for the mosquitoes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe British embassy opposite finally moved.

The closed curtains suddenly opened to both sides. The orange candlelight is unhindered and cathartic. From the binoculars, Zhang Yang saw that Ba Song, Magorny, Field, Philip and others had stood up. Looking at the smiles on their faces, you know that they had a good conversation.

Before leaving, Magorny and Philip personally sent Basung and Field out the door.

Zhang Yang kept observing them and stayed in the tree for more than half an hour. It wasn't until the lights of the British embassy had completely dimmed that he slowly slid down from the tree. Although I didn't hear the content of Magorny's conversation, seeing Ba Song and Magorny come together and make it so mysterious is enough to prove that there is something wrong with this conversation.

He wasn't upset either. Anyway, wait for the intelligence department's counterattack plan to be activated. Everything in the British Embassy will go into the archives of the Intelligence Division.

At the same time, the Ambassador Hotel. Zuo Peng and the ambassadors of France and the United States also talked about it. In the general direction of the alliance, the three countries have reached a lot of consensus.

First, the aspect of starting a war: according to the particularity of the geographical location of the three countries. The three countries decided that if a country went to war with Britain, the third ally would have to declare war on Britain. It's just that you only need to fight Britain on your own soil, and you don't have to send troops to fight in the allied countries.

There are careful thoughts in this! Because of the local war, there is no specific scope. Then the Three Kingdoms can open their minds and set it themselves. According to the general situation, as long as Britain does not take the initiative to provoke, the allies are likely to only declare war and not take action.

Speaking of which, it is 'pulling the tiger skin and pulling the banner'. It is just a matter of boosting each other's morale and strengthening the anti-British camp.

In this regard, Zuo Peng, Bruno and others are well aware. It's just that this is in line with the wishes of the three parties, and it was tacitly passed.

Second, in terms of assistance: as long as one of the three countries goes to war with Britain, the third-party allies must do their best to provide all-round assistance in terms of military and economic aspects.

This is the most important piece of the covenant! Because it is in the form of a treaty, the obligation to provide assistance is mandatory. It avoided the dilemma of being in short supply but having nowhere to buy during the war.

After all, fighting a war burns money and consumes materials! It is the national strength of the participating countries. If either side fails to hold on first, it is likely to lose.

And compared with sending troops to war, giving assistance is more acceptable and easier to cash. What's more, 'brothers, settle accounts', this kind of aid has to be bought with money. Maybe the price will be a lot cheaper. But the donor, after all, is profitable.

All three countries are capitalist-oriented countries with an innate profit-seeking nature. On the issue of money, the calculation is very clear.

Ordinary people may feel that there is no affection at all, but between countries, there is only benefit, not love. If anyone is stupid and can't tell the difference, he will only suffer a loss.

Zuo Peng: They are all understanding people, and they discussed this issue very carefully. lest disputes arise in the future and cause unhappiness to both parties.

Thirdly, in terms of timing: the first alliance treaty was signed for a period of five years. And in order not to provoke Britain, this covenant will not be made public for the time being.

Finally, a specific date was established with the date of signing of the treaty as the starting date and the date of publication of the treaty as the date of entry into force.

On this issue, the French ambassador Bruno disagreed. Because France was already at war with the anti-French alliance formed by England. If it is made public at this time, the Ming Dynasty and the United States can not only share the firepower for France, but also enable France to receive a large amount of aid.

Such careful thinking, how could Zuo Peng and the American ambassador not see it. So both are firmly opposed. Bruno was outnumbered by one against two. Fortunately, the current situation of the anti-French war is very favorable to France. Russia, Prussia, and Austria, which were not weak, were all seduced by the big cake of the partition of Poland. Only war was declared on France, and no entry into the war.

And before coming, the French republican government also guessed that the two countries would definitely not want to tie up the French chariot now. Invisibly, offended a large group of anti-French allies. A bad deal like this, France understands!

Let Bruno not dwell too much on this issue. If you can make it public immediately, you can make it public, and if you can't, it's okay.

It is for this reason that Bruno only proposed a few words and then stopped insisting.

However, Zuo Peng put forward a supplementary condition, that is, the treaty could be made public in one year. It can also be regarded as providing a buffer and run-in time for the three countries. But there is no guarantee that there will be an accident in the middle. So Zuo Peng proposed again. If two of the three countries were to go to war with Britain at the same time, the treaty of alliance would be made public and would take effect immediately.

These two proposals, to a large extent, were considered by Zuo Peng from the perspective of Daming's own interests. Because the Ming military combined the current situation in Nanyang, relevant intelligence and the current preparations of the Ming Dynasty, it predicted that there was a great possibility of a major conflict in Nanyang in the next two years.

The treaty was made public at that point in time, which also maximized the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

Neither the French and American ambassadors had any opinion on such a proposal. It was unanimously adopted.

As a result, the Ming-France-US mutual aid alliance gradually took shape.

However, even if a treaty is signed, it does not mean that the three parties are allies who work together and treat each other honestly. After all, it is very realistic between countries! During the war, it is full of uncertainties! To borrow the viewpoint of materialist dialectics: things always change and develop due to connections. It's the same between countries.

When one or two of the three countries of the three countries are in a certain position of defeat due to the unfavorable situation, can the allies still fulfill their obligations as allies with due diligence and abide by the alliance treaty, sincerely fulfill their obligations as allies, and provide assistance with quality and quantity?

Again, a more realistic problem.

Zuo Peng is well aware of this, and the French and American ambassadors are equally clear.

It's just that no one wants to say it!

By the time the three of them left the room, it was twelve o'clock in the night. At this time, the guests at the banquet should go and disperse. The hall has been swept away. Zuo Peng said apologetically: "I'm very sorry for making you miss the wonderful banquet." ”。

The French ambassador Bruno shook his head and said wittily: "Yes! Your banquet must be very wonderful. But don't you have a saying in the Ming Dynasty that 'the coming days are long'? I think I will have more opportunities to represent France at the banquet of the Ming Dynasty. ”。

The U.S. ambassador nodded in agreement. Zuo Peng smiled and stopped being polite. After sending the two out of the door, look up at the sky. The small half of the moon has been covered with a translucent veil. It's hazy, it's a little unreal. (To be continued.) )
