People who want to stay in Shanghai will naturally stay in Shanghai desperately, but once they leave Shanghai, few people are interested in revisiting the old place, which is such a state. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

And if it's too xenophobic, after staying for a long time, a countryman won't think he's a countryman, and even feel that the people in his hometown are the real countrymen.

Not to mention Shanghai, even the whole of China, it must become the center of the world, how can the xenophobic cultural environment be inclusive?

The British Minister Wittuma and the French Minister Loshua arrived at the most luxurious Klinsmann Hotel in Shanghai.

The Klinsmann Hotel is located in the British Concession on the Bund, and Wittoma and Loshua are waiting with cigars smoked.

"Wait, you'll be at least half an hour late." Wittoma took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "It's six o'clock, and it's just right now." ”

Luo Shuya said with a smile: "Yes, Chinese have no concept of time. ”

Prince Richard Harris, the foreign minister of the People's Republic of China who came to Shanghai, said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. two ministers, our president has always been very punctual, and he will not exceed this minute, unless the president has urgent matters temporarily." ”

The British Minister Wittouma and the French Minister Loshua laughed and said nothing.

Prince Richard Harris is no longer the original Prince Richard Harris, after more than two years of hard work, Prince Richard Harris is in charge of China's foreign affairs, he has a lot of work, and has grown into a young, but there is no shortage of experienced diplomats.

"The president has arrived!" The president's guard reported the number.

Two guards opened the door to the ballroom.

The ballroom is huge, but with only one long table, it is extraordinarily magnificent.

Even the British Minister Wittoma and the French Minister Luo Shuya were very rare to receive such a level of reception, and the two of them didn't expect President Meng to be so punctual and stood up together, thinking of what they had just said to Prince Richard Harris, their faces were slightly embarrassed.

President Meng walked in front, followed by Princess Katrina Kafu and Liu Yuqing.

President Meng smiled and said, "Sit, sit down, Mr. Wei Tuma, Mr. Luo Shuya, we are all old friends, you are welcome." ”

The British Minister Wittoma and the French Minister Luo Shuya looked at each other and said in their hearts, "You just knocked the two of us out of the door a while ago, and at that time, you didn't say that it was an old friend."

Still, as seasoned diplomats, the two were still smiling.

If it was placed in the past, such a meeting would not have to be attended by President Meng in person, talk about it first, talk about it almost, and then talk to him, even, many times, without President Meng talking in person, it will be a decision directly, whether it is successful or not, it is a happy word.

But this time, the situation is different, President Meng can directly contact the governments of Britain and France, and there is no need to negotiate with these two guys, but President Meng warmly receives them, which makes them puzzled by the second monk.

"It is an honour on behalf of the British Empire to be able to take time out of my busy schedule, Mr. President." British Minister Wittoma nodded.

The French minister, Loshua, said the same thing.

President Meng said with a smile: "Whether my identity is noble or not, it depends on whether international friends give face, this time I found two of them, just to talk about comprehensive cooperation, as well as the recovery of customs duties, originally to be directly recovered, I mean, our three countries are friendly countries, this is not appropriate." ”

The smile on the face of the French Minister Luo Shuya immediately disappeared, "President Meng, what do you mean?" You asked us to come, not to talk about cooperation, but to turn the other cheek? Want to take back the customs privileges given to us by the Qing court? ”

President Meng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Minister Luo Shuya's temper has not changed, I am in a hurry as soon as I come, everyone eats first, let's talk while eating, everyone is an old friend, there is no need to beat around the bush, I don't play any strategy, wait a minute, I will tell you in one breath." ”

Loshua refused to sit down.

The British Minister Wei Tuma suppressed his anger and motioned for Luo Shuya to sit down, Wei Tuma didn't expect that Xuan Yuemeng would actually say such a thing, and actually let the two of them come to be humiliated in person?

The Chinese army is now in Shanghai, even if there are British and French troops in Shanghai, with the strength of the Chinese army, it is not enough to resist at all, at most it is self-preservation, it really has to fight, that is, fight for a while, and then let the fleet withdraw the army, it is not possible to contend with the Chinese army in Shanghai.

Therefore, if China wants to take back the port privileges, or even the concessions, it is a matter of one sentence, and this kind of thing can be done by sending a note to the local embassy in Shanghai, and there is no need to let the two of them stay.

What is this not a face-to-face humiliation?

President Meng then smiled, "Of course, this is a situation where the two countries are not friendly with our country, I think this situation is unlikely to happen, after all, we are both members of the Nanyang Contract, right?" ”

The British Minister Wittoma and the French Minister Luo Shuya were stunned for a moment, and said in their hearts that the speed at which you change your face is really fast.

The British Minister Wei Tuma nodded with a smile and said: "Of course, we are a friendly country, so we naturally want to remain friendly, and we hope that Hua Guo can continue to recognize these privileges of ours after replacing the administrative power of the Qing State." ”

The French minister, Luo Shuya, also hurriedly said: "Yes, we have the same meaning as the British, as long as the original system remains unchanged, it is easy to say anything." We also hope that China can develop well. ”

President Meng smiled: "No problem, however, opium cannot be sold in my jurisdiction, you know, I have always been the most opposed to opium trafficking, you can continue to enjoy the privilege of mouthing!" ”

The British Minister Wittoma and the French Minister Loshua were not surprised to see that they had spoken to the real chapter!

French Minister Luo Shuya stood up and said: "This is absolutely impossible, we have fought two wars with the Qing State in order to sell opium, isn't President Meng aware of this past?" ”

President Meng smiled: "Mr. Luo Shuya, don't be excited, today, we are a banquet, although we represent our respective countries, it does not prevent us from interacting as friends." I'm well aware of this past, but if you must sell opium, I don't mind, and I'll have a third opium war with you! ”

The British Minister Wei Tuma also stood up, he had no way not to be excited, Xuan Yuemeng was a lion opened his mouth, "President Meng, you have cut off more than eighty percent of our two countries' income from China, we must not agree!" You have to know that China is an agricultural country, and there is no market for our industrial products here, and if we only need money, if we don't need money, why did we come to Asia all the way to Asia?
