Chapter 565: Testing the Red Line of Germany, Italy and Austria
Although he failed to open the passage of the dungeon as he wished, a large amount of mysterious black metal was discovered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This alone is worth so much effort from Li Weiguo.
"Keep digging!"
Li Weiguo wrote these three words in his approval to the Ministry of Industry of Chang'an.
Don't underestimate the power of these three words, because Li Weiguo has not personally marked the approval document like this for many years. Because in normal times, when Li Weiguo approves the recital or official documents, he usually only writes one word "read", which means that he has already read the recital, and the officials below understand that "it can be carried out according to the original plan". If nothing is written, it means that he does not agree with the recital, which the officials below understand as "the need to shelve or resubmit a new plan".
Although today's Chinese Empire is huge, Li Weiguo is very relaxed, and all the civil and military officials are on the right track, and Li Weiguo does not need to worry about it everywhere, only when some very few major matters require his opinion, he will review and approve them.
Therefore, when the Ministry of Industry of Chang'an saw that the approval document said to continue digging, they were even a little excited, because this represents the highest importance, as long as it is something that Li Weiguo attaches importance to, the officials will pay more attention to it.
As a result, the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Industry of Chang'an canceled all weekends and annual leave, and worked overtime to deploy the excavation work in Lishan, and there was no complaint, because he understood that no matter how hard and tired he was, as long as he did this matter well, he could get Li Weiguo's favor.
Even the Ministry of Industry of Wuhan in Kyoto inquired about the matter after hearing the news, and actively dispatched various large-scale excavation equipment to Chang'an, and even the relevant experts of the Imperial Academy of Sciences have put down some less important work in their hands and turned to assist in the research and development of various advanced equipment.
The other officials of the Ministry of Industry in the three capitals and four capitals were envious, how could such a good thing not fall on their heads!
However, officials from the Ministry of Industry of Chang'an soon discovered that this was an unprecedented project, and as they continued to excavate, the area of mysterious black metal on the bare ground became larger and larger, as if embedded in the entire Lishan Mountain.
Fortunately, there are no satellites in this era, otherwise they would have been exposed to the whole world long ago.
Li Weiguo has made full preparations, and has strictly ordered the military to block the news and relocate the residents near Lishan. At the same time, a no-fly zone has also been set up near Lishan, and the military can directly shoot down any plane or airship that flies in without permission.
However, Li Weiguo still had to divert the attention of the people and the world, and just as the Allies were chattering and eager to carve up the world's territory, the Chinese Empire decided to convene the Allied Congress at the behest of Li Weiguo.
At the Berlin Imperial Palace, Wilhelm II finally stopped flipping the table after hearing the news.
"Really? Li Weiguo's bastard actually agreed? ”
Wilhelm II exclaimed, a little madness in his joy.
But more importantly, he has now called Li Weiguo a bastard, which shows that his attitude towards the Chinese Empire has fallen to a new low.
The three countries of Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Italy have been waiting for all the flowers for a long time, and they are finally looking forward to this day.
However, they didn't know what it meant until the day of the meeting.
Once upon a time, when the great powers bullied other weak and small countries, they enjoyed the fun of carving up the territory.
Today, on the contrary, even the German Empire is weak in the face of the Chinese Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, and the Ottoman Empire are completely weak.
When Fu Xuexian, the prime minister of the Chinese Imperial Cabinet, sat down in the conference room, the prime ministers or prime ministers of other countries immediately felt unnatural, as if the younger brother should bow and salute when he saw the boss, but each of them represented their own country, and it was impossible for them to submit to the Chinese Empire.
The Allied Peace Victory Conference was held in Shanghai, the Chinese Empire, and it was supposed that the emperors of the countries should have gathered in person in order to highlight the great victory of the Allied powers over the Entente. However, the emperors of Germany, Italy and Austria were not sure what the content of this conference would be, and if they came in person, there would be no room for manoeuvre if they could not reach an agreement. Therefore, they only send their own prime ministers and prime ministers, or officials of the same level, to the meeting, so that even if there is an issue that cannot be discussed, there is still room for maneuver.
Li Weiguo sent Fu Xuexian to the meeting, mainly because he could speak well and was good at financial management.
This time, the four major Allied member states of Germany, Italy and Austria obviously came in a questioning tone, wanting to get back what they had not obtained on the battlefield at the negotiating table.
Germany wanted the British Isles, Italy wanted the French island of Corsica, Austria-Hungary wanted the Balkans, the Ottoman Turkish Empire wanted Crimea and the Caucasus, and the Brazilian Empire and the Colombian Confederation wanted to carve up South America.
In addition to the fact that the Chinese Empire did not intervene in the South American battlefield, other continents participated, and directly robbed the fruits of Germany's victory.
Obviously, in this negotiation, Fu Xuexian has long been prepared for a high-intensity debate with the heads of state of Germany, Italy and Austria.
As for whether he could persuade countries with his mouth, Fu Xuexian didn't pay attention to it at all, because he had the powerful military support of the Chinese Empire behind him, and the strength of the Chinese Empire's navy, land and air force was enough to deter all countries.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the post-war international order planning guidelines drawn up by the cabinet of the Chinese Empire, everyone should take a look at it first, and just sign it directly if there is no problem!"
Fu Xuexian directly drew up the spoils distribution agreement and asked all countries to sign it, which shocked the representatives of various countries.
So the representatives of Germany, Italy and Austria quickly took their share of the spoils agreement, opened it and looked at it, and were instantly stunned!
How is this Nima all in Chinese!
In the past, in addition to Chinese, there were also languages for each country, which made it clear at a glance.
But this time there was only Chinese on it, which made the delegates of various countries overwhelmed for a while.
You know, the representatives from various countries are all prime ministers or prime minister-level people, after all, they are old, although they started to learn Chinese level 4 or 6 early, but almost none of them passed the exam.
"Master Fu, why is this agreement only in your country's language, how can we Europeans understand it? We must be given a reasonable explanation! ”
It was the Chancellor of the German Empire, Hohenlohe-Chillingsfest, who had come to open fire on behalf of the German Empire.
As Bismarck's successor, Xiling is still very capable and talented, and he realized at the first time that this may be a tentative act of the Chinese Empire, and if the countries acquiesce to this matter from then on, then the Chinese Empire is likely to directly promote Chinese into the official language of the world in the future, which is virtually enhancing the international prestige and soft power of the Chinese Empire.
Although Hiling was not as highly regarded by Wilhelm II as Hitla, he still knew a lot about some of the core secrets.
For example, Wilhelm II's attitude towards the Chinese Empire, the attitude of the German Imperial military towards the Chinese Empire, and the degree of Wilhelm II's hatred of the Chinese Empire alone was enough for Xiling to find ways to weaken the strength of the Chinese Empire.
Xiling is deliberately tricking Fu Xuexian, he did not just talk about Germany, but brought the whole of Europe with him.
As a result, representatives of the Kingdom of Italy, the Ottoman Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Brazilian Empire, the Federation of Colombia and other member states looked at Fu Xuexian, waiting for him to make a reasonable explanation.
However, before Fu Xuexian came, he had a secret conversation with Li Weiguo for a while, and he had already made preparations.
"From now on, our Chinese Empire will no longer speak English, French, German or anything other Chinese on any occasion, we will only speak Chinese, and it is your own business to understand whether you understand it or not!"
Fu Xuexian shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and by the way, made a smile expression that was disobedient and bit me.
His expression was seen in the eyes of Xi Ling and other heads of state, and there were only two words - owe a beating!
However, Fu Xuexian didn't care.
Does the Chinese Empire need an explanation for doing things?
No, you don't!
Need to be reasonable?
Not even more!
So what is needed?
Strength speaks!
Which country on earth is the most powerful?
Undoubtedly, the Chinese Empire!
After listening to Fu Xuexian's words, the heads of state of the four countries, the Prime Minister of the German Empire, the Grand Speaker of Chavel of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Prime Minister of the Ottoman Empire, and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy, Mephisto, all of them immediately darkened their faces and looked indignant.
In particular, the Chancellor of the German Empire, Hiling, had a very unnatural expression and seemed to be about to go berserk.
Soon, however, the Prime Ministers of the Colombian Federation and the Brazilian Empire immediately applauded and welcomed these two traitors, just like their country, who could not fight wars, and whose ability to steer the rudder was absolutely first-class, and they were so angry that the delegates of Germany, Italy and Austria wanted to vomit blood.
"Go call the translator!"
Xi Ling finally endured, he knew that now was not the time to turn against the Chinese Empire.
So the representatives of various countries have found translators, fortunately, the influence of the Chinese Empire has been soaring in the past decade, Chinese is popular all over the world, and it is still very simple to find a few translators.
"I'm sorry, but I have a meeting in twenty minutes! Therefore, it is best for everyone to reply within 20 minutes, and raise any objections in time! Otherwise, you'll have to make another appointment! ”
When Xi Ling heard this, he suddenly felt a reversal of qi and blood, and he wanted to greet the other party: Nima is in a hurry!
"Translation is a big deal, how can you do it in 20 minutes? Let's make an appointment another day! ”
The representatives of other countries all agreed with Xiling's proposal when they saw it, but the next moment, they were immediately defeated by Fu Xuexian's words.
"I'm sorry! Recently, I have been busy with official business, and if I make an appointment another day, the schedule is estimated to be half a year later! ”
Wait for half a year to talk about it?
Counting the time delayed back and forth, doesn't that mean that the negotiation may not be completed in a year?
For an ordinary person, it would be crazy to talk about it for a year, let alone the heads of various countries, who do not return to China to engage in economic construction, and sit here in the Chinese Empire every day and wait for an unknown answer, which is obviously unscientific!
Xiling was suddenly angry and vomited blood, and swallowed it back when he reached his throat, and the other representatives also had an expression of a dog.
"Speed up the translation!"
In the face of Fu Xuexian's strength, Xiling and others had to ask the translator to speed up the translation.
However, after looking at the translator's full mouth of translated content, Xi Ling and the others were dumbfounded again.
Entire pages are devoted to the praise of the Chinese Empire for leading the Allied bloc to defeat the Entente bloc, proposing that the Allied Powers should love each other and help each other, and not be careful, etc., until the last sentence is the theme and core.
"The post-war international order is dominated by the areas of de facto control of the existing member states!"
The meaning of this sentence is that the places occupied and controlled by the Chinese Empire are administered by the Chinese Empire, and the German-occupied France is administered by Germany, recognizing the actual control areas of the armies of various countries.
"If that's the plan, then there's no need to get together and talk about it?"
Poof......
Xi Ling was finally so angry that he couldn't help but squirt three liters of blood!
The representatives of other countries also smiled bitterly, feeling that they had been tricked.
It's just that if it's the weak who plays them, then they will be beaten by their ruthless group, but if it's the strong, then they can only accept their fate.
"If there are no objections, then sign it!"
Fu Xuexian was deliberate, he was testing the changes in the expressions and tones of the delegates from various countries, guessing the other party's extreme receptivity.
"We have objections in the German Empire!"
Hiling came back to life with a full blood, and accused with an open posture: "According to our pre-war agreement, Britain should finally be taken over by the German Empire!" If it weren't for the German Empire, it would have been difficult for your country to deal with the alliance of Britain, France, the United States, Japan and Russia at the same time! ”
Fu Xuexian said with a smile: "Facts have proved that our Chinese Empire is capable of dealing with the five-nation alliance of Britain, France, the United States, Japan and Russia!" As for the agreement you are talking about, it is only a one-sided verbal agreement, and it is not counted! ”
Bang Dang!
Shiling's eyes darkened and he fainted.
The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy stubbornly said: "When our Kingdom of Italy joined your allies earlier, we already expressed our desire to get the French island of Corsica. But now that it is occupied by your Chinese Empire, we demand that Corsica be returned to Italy! ”
Fu Xuexian lowered his face slightly, and said: "You Italy is a wall-to-wall grass, fighting passively during the Great War, secretly colluding with Britain and France, and causing heavy losses to its ally Germany!" If it weren't for the overall situation, you Italy would have been killed by our Chinese Empire a long time ago! ”
The Italian Prime Minister suddenly blushed and had a thick neck, pointed at Fu Xuexian and said, "You are slandering!" I-I'm going to plead my case to your Emperor!" ”
After saying that, the Italian prime minister left early.
Then there was the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, these two countries had fallen into collapse, and they could not protect themselves, and they thought that they could force the Chinese Empire to make concessions by following Germany and Italy, but seeing that the Chinese Empire was so tough, the representatives of the two countries were instantly timid and found a reason to leave.
As for the Brazilian Empire and the Colombian Federation, they have not even defeated Argentina, Chile and Peru in South America, so naturally they have no energy to ask for benefits from the Chinese Empire, and at the same time, they are also self-aware and know that they can't fight the Chinese Empire, so they are very peaceful.
As a result, a negotiation has become a test of the bottom line of Germany, Italy and Austria. (To be continued.) )
