Chapter 382: Cooperation Intent
Luo Yang wants to support the southern states of the United States to carry out the independence movement, that is, to take advantage of the division of this civil war, to operate, to expand his own power, to make enough friends, and at the same time, to obtain urgently needed machinery and other materials from the Americas, but also to control this country forever, so that he will not succeed in unification, so that he will always become a second-rate or even third-rate country,
Anyway, this country is using this set to deal with the current China.
McTone cried wildly, excited,
Originally, he had no confidence, and decided to meet the new emperor of China thousands of times to ask for help, but he did not expect it, but he succeeded once.
Luo Yang was silent, watching coldly how he vented his feelings, and performed enthusiastically,
Sure enough, this guy was beautiful for a while, praised and boasted about Luo Yang, and finally calmed down: "Excuse me, the master of the generous Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, His Majesty the Great Emperor, and Your Excellency the Consul, how can we repay you." ”
It's about the same, Nima's really don't say anything, Lao Tzu is not happy, Lao Tzu is unhappy, there are all kinds of crying of your kid,
"In this way, we don't beg you how to repay, pay favors, and don't expect to repay, which is an excellent character of our Chinese nation." Luo Yang also learned from the shameless black style of diplomats: "We only pursue equality, and equality is very important, you know." ”
McTon wasn't stupid: "You mean. ”
Luo Yang is not polite: "I want to emphasize that the predecessor of our Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom was the Qing Empire, and he was bullied by many countries, including the United States, and signed a lot of unequal treaties, so I think that if through our efforts, this unequal, unhuman, undemocratic, unfree, and uncivilized thing will be excluded, and this world will be very wonderful." ”
"Ah, you mean, revise the treaty." McTon's face became solemn,
"Of course, it is not appropriate to revise those uncivilized, unequal, unhuman rights and unfree clauses."
"However, we are not the government agency that signed the treaty." McTon said slyly,
Nima, if you have a bargain, you will go, if you have a responsibility and morality, you will run, scoundrel,
"But you have a moral sense." Luo Yang was not angry: "It was because of morality that we decided to support your south. ”
"Ah, yes." McTon hesitated, this issue was not a trivial issue, so he said, first, to study the content of the "Wangxia Treaty" signed by the Qing Empire and the United States, and second, to inform the country of the situation, and implore the Richmond government and Mr. President to make a ruling,
"How long will it take?" Luo Yang asked,
"Maybe a month, maybe three months." McTone said that it would take a month to get back to the United States from here at the earliest, and when he got to the west, he sent a telegram to the Richmond government, because at that time, there were only submarine cables from Europe to Asia and to the Americas, and there were no submarine cables from the Pacific Ocean, and the communication was very poor.
"Well, yes, but I have to advise you that only if your government adopts this new treaty, equality, human rights, and independence, we will be able to send troops to your country to fight." Luo Yang put forward the preconditions, now it is diplomatic negotiations, that is, bargaining,
"Lord Archon, this, no, I'm afraid that by the time your army arrives at our country, the country has been completely destroyed by the Yankees." McTone was worried,
This guy's concern is still sincere, anyway, at the beginning of the second year, the South admitted defeat,
At present, the information of the Americans has not yet mastered the development and use of the flying thunder cannon, and only knows its power, and this is good, otherwise, they will not have the conditions for military blackmail.
"I'm also worried, so I also want to save your country and help your people, but I have to convince my army and people that you are a friendly and worthy country, and if you are not willing to change the treaty that you know is immoral, then think for yourself, even if I have an order, our country's army also has the right to refuse to carry it out." When Luo Yang said these twists and turns, he was quite fluent,
McTone was dumbfounded, and after thinking for a long time, he asked: "Is Your Excellency the Archon really willing to send an army, and whether it is really premised on the revision of the treaty." ”
"Yes."
"Oh, this, well, I'll step up to read the treaty, study it carefully, and then inform the country." McTone pleaded for a long time, but he didn't get any loosening of Luo Yang's tone, only nodded,
"I would also like to remind you sir that, in fact, the Union of Southern American States is not a country at the moment." Luo Yang said: "There is no country in the country that is willing to admit it, if you modify the treaty, it will be of great significance here." ”
McTon immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, that's right." ”
That means, of course, that the Kingdom of Heaven has recognized the League of Southern American States.
"Then, let's write a letter of intent first." Luo Yang suggested: "At the very least, make a memo." ”
"Okay, great, that's exactly what I thought." McTon was overjoyed,
Soon, the two wrote the document with pen and ink, and then, signed, expressed the intention of further consultation, established the intention of strategic cooperation, and listed the preliminary contents.
"Well, goodbye, honorable Mr. McTon." Luo Yang waved to him,
"Thank you, Mr. Archon personally." McTon was so excited that he bowed again and again, and suddenly had an idea: "Mr. Archon personally, can we take a picture with you." ”
Luo Yang was taken aback: "Take pictures, and now the camera has been invented." ”
"Why not." McTone was also surprised, and at the same time proud,
He sent someone to run out, led a few people in, and took out a very strange thing, it is said that this is a camera machine, very ancient, very huge, so that Luo Yang saw it, very curious, so, the two stood together, in a handshake posture, completed a group photo,
"Thank you, Mr. Consul, that you are a true gentleman, more than all the gentlemen of the world, that it is you, the first country willing to recognize our greatness, and that we in the League of States of the South of the Americas will always remember your kindness." McTone wants to hug Luo Yang,
Luo Yang blocked with his hand, stopping his fantasy: "Slow, let's wait until our cooperation really begins." ”
"Yes, yes."
"Oh, I also want to tell you, if I want to help you, it is not to let you South be independent, but to support you, completely take out the northern regime, and establish a new country." Luo Yang said enthusiastically: "Since that country is so shameless, wouldn't it be better for us to just join forces to get rid of it, and save them from being crooked all the time, once and for all." ”
"That's good, but our strength ......"
"Don't worry, our forces combined, we will definitely be competent, hey, McTone is new", think about it, isn't it worth it to revise a small broken treaty, sign a treaty that means nothing to your country, but get incomparably powerful military assistance, aid in the snow."
"Yes, yes." McTone really didn't think of this, he decided to believe Luo Yang's words, because Luo Yang's army is legendary, and the fruits of this diplomatic visit have far exceeded his hopes, so he wants to 'sing,
