Chapter 716: No Regret Medicine
The arrival of Ecent. It was unexpected by Li Zhen, but it was also reasonable.
When the U.S. military withdrew from Taiwan, Li Zhen subconsciously thought that Ecente would also leave. However, something so big has happened that Ecente can no longer hide it, because it is rising to the height of national politics, involving the diplomacy of the two countries, and is no longer something that a simple military man can solve. Ecente had a catastrophe and had to solve the problem, so Ecente took the initiative to meet him.
Li Zhen looked at the location of the barracks, waved his hand and said, "Please come to the battleship!" ”
"Yes!"
If Zheng Zao got the order, he immediately went to arrange it.
Li Zhen instructed the soldiers to set up the tables and chairs, then sit down and wait. Ecente and Lieutenant General were searched by the soldiers, and under the leadership of Zheng Zaoru, they came to the deck of the flagship. Zheng Zaoru walked in front and waved his hand to introduce: "Lord Wang, this is Marshal Ecente of the US Army." ”
"Hello!"
Ecente took the initiative to walk up to Li Zhen and bowed respectfully.
The lieutenant general also followed closely behind Ecente, bowing respectfully.
Two people, showing enough etiquette.
"Sit!"
Li Zhen's expression remained unchanged, and he even had a hint of a smile.
"Thank you, King Zhennan!"
Ecente thanked him before sitting down.
After he and the lieutenant general sat down, they looked at each other with a hint of joy in their eyes. Judging from Li Zhen's posture, it was relatively friendly, there was no anger, and he did not expel the two directly. It is precisely because of this that the two of them subconsciously regarded Li Zhen's attitude as Li Zhen was very good at talking, and a little hope rose in their hearts, thinking that this trip had a great possibility to solve the problem.
The postures shown by the two of them all fell in Li Zhen's eyes.
In this regard, Li Zhen did not comment.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and then said unhurriedly: "Some time ago, the U.S. military and the Chinese army were still at war, and now you bring people here, is there anything wrong?" ”
Ecente bowed and said, "King Zhennan, I am here for the letter of state you promulgated. ”
"Oh!"
Li Zhen said a word, but did not speak.
Ecente took a deep breath and said solemnly: "The arrest of the Taiwan people was caused by my insistence. I came to visit King Zhennan and made a special trip to apologize to King Zhennan. ”
Li Zhen interrupted: "The object of your apology should be the people of Taiwan, not me." ”
The corners of Ecent's mouth twitched slightly, slightly embarrassed. But he still took the initiative to stand up, bowed respectfully, expressed his apology, and continued: "The influence of the national letter is too great, I hope that the prince can take back his life and let the people of my country stay in the Qing Dynasty, after all, they are innocent and cannot be implicated because of the war." ”
"Innocent?"
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Do the people you arrested deserve it?" ”
At this moment, the anger in Li Zhen's heart kept surging up, making Li Zhen's heart difficult to calm down.
Ecente said: "Lord Wang, I sincerely apologize. ”
Li Zhen's expression changed suddenly, and he said in a cold voice: "What's the use of sincerity? Will an apology solve the problem? It's the best joke I've ever heard. If someone burst into your home, stripped your wife of her clothes, then raped her, then killed all your family, and finally found you and apologized, would you forgive him? You won't forgive, will you? You led the U.S. army to brazenly attack Taiwan, and this is entering my home; Arresting and causing casualties among civilians is hurting my family. Now, your sincere apology in front of me is like solving the problem, ridiculous, ridiculous! ”
Li Zhen was furious, and his emotions gradually became uncontrollable.
With a fierce look in his eyes, he stood up and said loudly, "Are you Ecente a character?" It's a bird! In your words, can the people's losses be recovered? Obviously not; In your words, can you mortgage 10 million silver or 20 million silver, and can you share it among the people as a spiritual loss fee? It doesn't work either. ”
Li Zhen's sudden turn of face made Ecente and the lieutenant general dull.
A moment ago, Li Zhen spoke softly.
At this moment, it seems to be an angry lion, which makes it difficult for the two to adapt.
Ecente felt uncomfortable in his heart, endured the anger in his heart, and said calmly: "King Zhennan, the war has happened, and the losses have been caused, which cannot be changed. All I can do now is try to remedy it. I took the initiative to come to see you because I wanted to make amends for the mistakes I made and recover the losses caused to the people. ”
Li Zhen sneered: "Redeem the losses of the people? Hehe, I think it's to recover the losses you have caused to the United States, and to recover the losses of your military career. It's nice to say, it's all. ”
Ecent's face turned red, and he was choked by Li Zhen's words.
The lieutenant general couldn't help but interject and said: "King Zhennan, the order you issued has an impact on us, but you must understand that once the order takes effect, it will also have an impact on your country, after all, there are merchants from the Qing Dynasty doing business in the United States. ”
"What's your name?" Li Zhen asked.
The vice admiral replied: "My name is Aragut, Vice Admiral. ”
Li Zhen nodded slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Alagutte, it's good, your words are to the point." Ecente pretended to be my grandson in front of me and begged for mercy and wanted me to take back the order. And you threaten me next to me and force me to comply. One person sings with a white face, and one person sings with a red face, which is amazing, and he deserves to be the elite of the US Navy. ”
When Aragut heard this, a bad premonition rose in his heart.
Seemingly, the goal was not achieved.
"Smack!!"
There was a loud bang, startling Ecente and Aragut.
Li Zhen slapped the table and said loudly: "After Lao Tzu's order is issued, if the United States does not apologize, and also brazenly expells and slaughters the people of Lao Tzu's country, the gaffe will definitely escalate again, and it will no longer be a laughing problem of expelling the people." You are responsible for the consequences. Play in front of me, Lao Tzu will accompany you to the end, and see who plays who dies. ”
Li Zhen said coldly: "A small country that has just emerged wants to play tricks in Lao Tzu, and it is a little tender. This person must learn to be low-key and learn to be humble. It's the same, it's the same with the country, you learn more. ”
After a pause, Li Zhen said, "Okay, I'm done with what I've said, you can go." I waited for the leaders of the United States to come to me and talk to me in detail. Lao Tzu's meeting with you is already a high-level reception. Have you ever seen the leader of a country talking to another country's shrimp soldier crab general? It would be okay to have the incumbent President James Buchanan come to China, or to ask the man in your country who has failed every election and has been running again and again, and who has a good reputation, to come. Until then, the order I have issued will remain in force and will not be withdrawn. ”
"You know Mr. President? Still know about Lincoln? ”
Ecente was taken aback, and so was Aragut. Both of them knew that Li Zhen was born as a soldier, and they both secretly despised Li Zhen when they heard Li Zhen constantly exploding foul language like a bandit.
But after listening to Li Zhen's words, they were all surprised, and the other party understood the United States.
At least, someone like Lincoln who has an infamous reputation, the other party understands.
Li Zhen looked at the expressions of the two in his eyes and sneered: "What I know is not something you can understand. Let's all go back and think about how to deal with the members of Congress in the United States, and then think about how to solve the problem. I hope your Mr. President will come over as soon as possible, otherwise the loss will be great. ”
With a wave of his hand, Li Zhen had Ecente and Aragut expelled.
ps: The second shift, call it a day. Okay, I continue to endorse, I haven't endorsed for a long time after graduation, and I'm looking forward to passing the exam tomorrow.
