Chapter 384: Donghua Empire's Power Diplomacy!

Italy hopes for a peaceful settlement of the military conflict between East and Italy in Somalia through diplomatic negotiations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 After the info news came, Cheng Gong was obviously a little unexpected.

Cheng Gong originally thought that Italy would declare war on Donghua at the first time. Moreover, Donghua was also fully prepared to declare war on Italy. Who would have thought that the Italian government, like Japan, would characterize the Somali incident as a military conflict between East and Italy.

Italy was reluctant to declare war, and Cheng Gong was certainly happy to see it.

This kind of American difference, which can take advantage of the situation to seize Italy's colonies in Africa without openly declaring war on the Axis camp, is a daily success.

When Chen Xunen, the prime minister of the Donghua Empire, made a special trip to ask Cheng Gong for advice on this matter, Cheng Gong immediately said that he could talk and fight at the same time, and the bottom line was that Somalia must be under the full control of the Donghua Empire.

With regard to the unquestionable will of His Majesty Emperor Jincheng, the Cabinet's consistent aim is to resolutely implement it.

Being a diplomat in the Donghua Empire is undoubtedly a decent career for any man who aspires to a career in diplomacy.

A weak country has no diplomacy, and the diplomacy of a strong country is bound to be power diplomacy!

With the support of strong comprehensive national strength and military strength, Gu Weijun, the first foreign minister of the Donghua Empire, changed his humble style as a diplomat of the Republic of China, and danced with long sleeves on the international diplomatic and political stage.

During the negotiations on the military conflict between China and Japan on Hong Kong Island, Gu Weijun did not reason with the other side at all in the face of Japanese Foreign Minister Fumihiro Konoe, and only discussed fists with the other side. At every turn, use words like "if you are not convinced, then continue to fight" to block the other party's mouth. was so angry that Konoe almost vomited blood, and openly declared that Gu Weijun, the foreign minister of Donghua, was a real rogue diplomat.

This time, the Italian diplomatic negotiation delegation headed by the chief of the general staff of the Italian army, Badolio, exchanged words at the negotiating table on the military conflict between East and Italy in Somalia, and Gu Weijun also gave full play to the powerful diplomatic trick of "truth only exists within the combat radius of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft."

Germany's iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck once famously said, "Truth is only within the range of a cannon." It's just that this diplomatic adage is now outdated.

The new view that "truth only exists within the combat radius of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft" put forward by Gu Weijun, the first foreign minister of the Donghua Empire, is obviously more in line with the reform of the modern diplomatic model.

Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, Chinese diplomacy can be called a history of blood and tears full of shame. The diplomats of the Republic of China have never raised their heads and straightened their waists in front of the Western powers.

Now, the young diplomats of the Donghua Empire led by Gu Weijun have held up a protective umbrella for overseas Chinese all over the world. The citizens of Donghua have extrajudicial jurisdiction in any country or region, and such honors and privileges even surpass those of England, the former empire on which the sun never sets.

Donghua Empire, New Australia, Jinhai City.

In the Donghua Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, located near the Yuanmingyuan in the new Royal Park, the Italian negotiating delegation and the diplomats of the Donghua Empire had held three rounds of consultations, but the representatives of the two sides still could not reach an agreement, so the negotiations had to be temporarily suspended.

The representative of Donghua proposed to take over the Italian colonies of Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan and Kenya in its entirety, but the Italian delegation of course did not agree.

Italy only agreed to place Somalia, Kenya and Southern Sudan under the trusteeship of the Donghua Empire. Donghua took a step back and demanded that Somalia, Sudan and Ethiopia be handed over to the Donghua Empire.

As a result, the two sides engaged in a tug-of-war over the ownership of Kenya and Ethiopia. In the end, it was not possible to come up with a result that was satisfactory to both parties.

Italy's insistence on Ethiopia and North Sudan was clearly intended to take advantage of the strategic situation of encircling the Anglo-American allied forces in Egypt on the east, south, and Asia.

After finding out the bottom line of the Italian delegation's negotiations, Gu Weijun sent someone to invite Badolio and Italian Foreign Minister Ziano to his private villa in Jinhai City in the name of a private banquet.

In this banquet, in addition to Bardolio and Ziano, Gu Weijun also invited the ambassadors of the United Kingdom, the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, Japan and other countries to the Donghua Empire. It was a small multi-party meeting of the United Nations.

Although the armies of the Soviet Union and Germany, Japan and the United States, Britain and Italy continued to tear apart on the battlefield, this did not prevent normal exchanges between diplomats of various countries.

Sometimes, this kind of private contact between diplomats can also judge the bottom line of the other country's battlefield through certain information revealed by mutual exchanges.

Italy offered to resolve the military conflict in Somalia through diplomatic negotiations, and both Germany and Japan expressed their support and claimed that they could help Italy to pursue Italy's interests as much as possible in the negotiations.

Before the Somali battlefield was in full swing, Italy bowed its head and relented, while Britain and the United States were both happy and depressed.

Happily, the appearance of the Donghua Empire's troops in the African theater obviously reduced the pressure on the British and American troops in Egypt. It was depressing that Italy did not declare war on Donghua, and Donghua would certainly not be the first to declare war on Italy. In this way, the Donghua Empire has entered the war, but it still has not made a clear position of the camp.

In the back garden of this seaview villa covering an area of nearly two acres, a variety of food and wine are placed on the snow-white dining table, as well as the "Moonlight Serenade" played by the white piano next to the open-air swimming pool, which makes the atmosphere in the garden particularly relaxed and peaceful.

U.S. Ambassador to Donghua Stuart Leiden, British Ambassador to Donghua Neville Chamberlain, Soviet Ambassador to Donghua Chernenko and others gathered together, holding tall red wine glasses in their hands, talking and laughing, and from time to time glanced in the direction of Gu Weijun's master.

On the other side, Gu Weijun and Shi Zhaoji, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Donghua Empire, Bardolio, head of the Italian negotiation delegation, Ziano, deputy head of the delegation, Nuwright, German ambassador to Donghua, and Akikuni Koiso, Japanese ambassador to Donghua, talked with each other cordially while sipping red wine.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ I must revisit here that our Donghua Empire has always paid attention to maintaining world peace and stability. If it weren't for the fact that the Italian army in Somalia had invaded the personal and property safety of the merchants of our Great Donghua Empire too much, our army would not have been dispatched lightly. ā€

Gu Weijun said indifferently as he swept his eyes around the faces of Newright and Xiao Ji Zhaoguo, and said in a rather calm tone: "Our Majesty Emperor Jincheng said that anyone, or organization, or national government, should have the courage to admit and take responsibility for mistakes. The price should be paid, and don't lose the big because of the small, and turn the small things into big things.

Since the outbreak of the Second World War, our Great Donghua Empire has always been firm in the principle of neutrality. But this does not mean that the national interests and civic interests of our Great Donghua Empire can be wantonly infringed upon by others.

Mr. Bardolio, Mr. Ziano, I have invited you here today in order to convey to you the latest will of His Majesty the Emperor in connection with this negotiation.

We can do without Ethiopia, but Somalia, Southern Sudan, and Kenya must be reparations for this military conflict, which is the final bottom line of our Great Donghua Empire. I hope you don't haggle like buying side dishes at the wet market anymore. (To be continued.) )
