"Isn't Germany engaged in an iron-blooded policy?" Chen Tianhua does not think that Germany is a second-class goods. Among the rising stars of the world, Germany, which was founded on industry and war, has always been highly praised by young people.

"Chancellor Bismarck was a civilized man, a diplomat. He has served as an ambassador in Russia and France, and knows several foreign languages. He faced the pigs in the German parliament, and he could only explain the reason in words that the pigs could understand. Chen Ke is not interested in the iron-blooded policy, "Xingtai, let me ask you, if there is one thing that is publicized with great fanfare, what does it mean?" ”

Chen Tianhua thought for a while and already had some understanding, "What is promoted, that means nothing." ”

"That's right. Chancellor Bismarck's propaganda of iron and blood in the parliament shows that the scum in the German parliament are cowardly fools. Now there is no difference between the Germans and the prime minister's time, but they parroted the iron-blooded slogan from the prime minister. And after Chancellor Bismarck established the Little German Reich through three wars, he was committed to peace. Engage in the Three Emperors Alliance. He was against some bullshit and iron-blooded yelling in the later period. ”

Chen Tianhua did not come into contact with a large number of studies of Bismarck in later generations, in fact, Chen Tianhua did not know much about the life of Prime Minister Bismarck. But when Chen Ke said this, Chen Tianhua fully accepted it. He said: "The Germans are just verbal threats? ”

Listening to this timid tone, Chen Ke smiled and said: "Xingtai, you tell the truth, is it because you are not ready to fight with foreign devils, you are more worried?" ”

Chen Tianhua knew that this was Chen Ke's tactful statement, but Chen Ke just didn't directly say such sharp words as "is it afraid". However, after silently reciting Chen Ke's words, Chen Tianhua found that he might be acting rashly. The core of what Chen Ke said was that he was "not ready to fight with foreign devils."

"It's true that I wasn't prepared for that." Chen Tianhua replied.

"If you are not prepared, then study the content of the Gengzi Treaty, which has provisions. How many foreign troops are stationed in China and where are they stationed. When we engage in intelligence work, we don't necessarily have to search for classified documents. The more ordinary the information, the better it is to collect, and then analyze the information in the form of social analysis, and everything can be seen. ”

Chen Ke began to criticize the knowledge that was very common in later generations. "For example, if the Germans want to go to war, the first thing they need to do is to prepare food, to prepare ammunition. Many of the intelligence systems we have set up are engaged in business, and these news are spreading very quickly in this circle. Moreover, it is impossible for the Germans to conjure up people out of thin air, and if they start fighting now, the Germans can only use the idea of Qingdao. Can there be 4,000 people in total? More than a dozen warships, the Germans relied on these 4,000 people to kill our base area, isn't this sending meat to the door? The warship has entered the Yangtze River, can we really let them fight to Wuhan? ”

These words were murderous, and Chen Tianhua was confused by Chen Ke's sharp attitude, "But after the war, our economy will always be affected." ”

"It's because of our own limited industrial capacity, and I don't usually see these two issues as the same thing." Chen Ke replied.

It took a lot of effort for Chen Tianhua to understand what Chen Ke meant, and it turned out that Chen Ke didn't care about the war at all. And according to Chen Tianhua's understanding of Chen Ke, he felt that Chen Ke actually had an intention to look forward to this war.

"Chairman Chen, if you beat the Germans, what will Britain and France think?" Chen Tianhua couldn't help but ask.

"Haha." Chen Ke smiled. Foreign devils may seem monolithic in squeezing China, but in fact it is not that at all.

"Xingtai, the Russo-Japanese War, Japan's issuance of bonds, it is clear that it is going to fight with Russia. As a result, war bonds were issued. In the Boer War, although the Boers did not receive full support, there were many European and American countries that sold arms to the Boers privately. Europe and the United States want interests, and as long as it is in line with their immediate interests, Europe and the United States will do it. As for whether it is a white-skinned pig that is hit, other white-skinned pigs don't care. So that's something that needs to be done diplomatically. Chen Ke patiently explained.

Chen Tianhua is already a real revolutionary, but he does not have the insight of Chen Ke in the lower 100 years of history. So he was shocked by Chen Ke's courage. He asked very unconfidently: "Chairman Chen, are you here to negotiate with Europe and the United States this time to finally reach an agreement, or are you going to fight with them?" ”

"What do you think I'm here for?" Chen Ke smiled.

"I ......, I think you're here to make a deal." Chen Tianhua finally gave an answer.

"That's right. I'm here to sign the agreement. Europe and the United States also want to sign the agreement, but our positions and interests are different. So whether it's war, peace, talks, or abuse. There is no difference, the only difference is what the final result is. Chen Ke wanted Chen Tianhua to become foreign minister, and he explained it to Chen Tianhua in detail.

Chen Tianhua knew Chen Ke's intentions, but after talking to Chen Ke about such a degree, Chen Tianhua made a new discovery, "Can I think so, the diplomats are just whitewashing this result?" In fact, on the surface, it makes no sense to say anything at all? ”

"It's not the job of diplomats to create this result. But to whitewash this result, if it is compared, is like a human eyebrow. Chen Ke also gave an answer.

Chen Tianhua thought about this sentence for a while, and couldn't help laughing, "That's true, eyebrows seem useless, but if there are really no eyebrows, then something is completely wrong." ”

As soon as he finished laughing, Chen Tianhua became serious again, "Chairman Chen, what do you think of this German thing?" ”

"We the People's Party are peace-loving, and we Chinese are peace-loving, so we will never shoot the first shot." Chen Ke used the diplomatic rhetoric often used by later generations of the party.

"What the hell is this talking about?" Chen Tianhua obviously does not have the courage of the leader of New China.

"We will never fire the first shot, and I will never give the enemy a chance to fire the second shot." Chen Ke said this sentence in its entirety. There have been many examples in history of never firing the first shot, such as the Battle of the Paracels, in terms of time, South Vietnam fired the first shot, but the well-prepared PLA immediately fired back, because of the relationship between the angle of fire and the rate of fire, but the shells on the Chinese side concentrated the enemy first. This is quite in line with the legendary martial arts "last mover first come" master realm.

In this entire naval battle, South Vietnam fired only 1.5 guns, while the PLA fired more than 600 guns and more than 3,000 guns, not including the grenades thrown by the PLA on South Vietnamese warships during close combat.

This is the true attitude of loving peace, "if you seek peace through struggle, you will live in peace, and if you seek peace through compromise, you will die peacefully." "Since that naval battle, South Vietnam has never issued a naval battle with the PLA. The same is true of the Korean War and the Sino-Indian War, a war that lasted more than half a century of peace, in fact, this can also be said to be a matter of immeasurable merit.

"Xingtai, I would like to say something about my personal opinion. Let's take this as a heart-to-heart conversation, what do you think? Chen Ke said.

"Okay." Chen Tianhua naturally will not refuse, and this kind of retreat is similar to a kind of private lecture to some extent, talking about very conceptual things. If you can get Chen Ke's private teaching, it is a very important thing.

"Our family's ancestral attitude is that if you really want to earn other people's money, then wait for others to come to you. He comes to you to show that he needs you. Since he needs you, he's sure he's going to have to take the money. If he doesn't take the money, we won't do it for him. Chen Ke said.

This is very correct, but Chen Tianhua feels too idealistic when he listens to it. He silently waited for Chen Ke to continue.

"So, if you want someone else to do something, then don't talk nonsense, take the money, take the benefits and ask others for cooperation. Try to get the opportunity to spend the money. In fact, this is the road that our revolution has taken, and to say that we lead the masses to make a revolution is. In fact, there are masses who support us in making a revolution. Of all the things we have done, what is not our efforts to let the masses gain benefits and benefits by participating in labor. Without the support and understanding of the masses, just a few of us will perform by ourselves, is this a monkey opera? ”

Hearing this, Chen Tianhua couldn't help but think of the farm he had built in Hebei. Although the farm failed in the end, it was because of the conflict between the system and the interests in the general environment, and the farm itself did not fail at all. The experience in Hebei gave Chen Tianhua a profound lesson, and every time he encountered a problem at work, Chen Tianhua often remembered that experience.

"So what does this have to do with negotiations?" Chen Tianhua was a little puzzled.

"If you want to get things done, there are two ways. The first is to talk about interests. If we can't talk about interests or positions, but this matter still needs to be promoted, we can only adopt the second method, and that is to take the other party's life. At this stage, we are still talking about interests, as long as it is in line with our position and within the scope that we can accept, we can talk about it. I think Britain and France can reach a compromise on the basis of common interests. However, there are also some countries that are accustomed to dealing with the Manchus, and they think that as long as we are attacked by force, we will not care whether we win or lose, and they are afraid that they will not be able to bear this kind of war situation for a long time, and they have to compromise and make concessions to them. For such people, we can only kill them on Chinese soil at this stage. This is the war of homeland defense against aggression. In such a situation, the people's war will be won. ”

"Is that sure to win?" Chen Tianhua has never participated in foreign wars, let alone seen the precedent of winning a homeland defense war, so he is a little disbelieving in Chen Ke's confident statement.

Chen Ke has seen many examples of this, not to mention the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The war in Afghanistan that Chen Ke personally saw, with the advanced technology and means of US warfare, the Afghan Taliban was powerless to resist. But it is an unmistakable fact that the Yankees have been dragged into a retreat by the ongoing law and order war. And in 1911, the foreign devils simply did not have the strength to reach the strength of the American army in 2011.

So Chen Ke replied confidently: "We will definitely win." ”

In the following days, Chen Ke visited the embassies of Britain and France, and met with several foreign banks, such as HSBC and Macquarie Bank in the United Kingdom, the Russian Russo-China Daosheng Bank, and the Crédit Agricole CIB in France. But Germany was left behind.

The BJP had already reached a basic agreement with the British-led customs side, and the two sides planned to reach a £40 million quota trade deal as soon as possible. This time, Chen Ke suggested that the "Maritime Friendly Trade" should bring the Beiyang government into the city and try to reach a trade agreement of 100 million pounds a year.

Although the British and French ambassadors would not think it would be an easy task, if they could really complete a quota trade agreement of this scale, they would immediately become heroes of the country, if nothing else. As for the foreign banking syndicates, although they generally think that Chen Ke is a braggart king, they all think that it is just a matter of how big a cowhide is. The actions of the People's Party base areas made them think that Chen Ke really wanted to promote this matter.

The British side immediately sent an official letter to Yuan Shikai asking questions related to this.

Yuan Shikai never expected Chen Ke to make such a big move, and after reading the letter, he didn't even have the heart to scold twice.
