Chapter 98: Well-developed limbs
Chapter 98: Developed Limbs (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) Read! )
Almost sitting in the car, the moment the car drove away from the outer jiāo department, Ito Hirobumi slapped his big foot in shock, and then shouted.
"Fooled by them"
"Your Excellency?"
Hinata Yi, who was taken aback, saw Ito, who was full of chagrin, and hurriedly asked.
"We're not already ......"
"Hey"
As if exhausted, Ito interrupted Hichi's words with a long sigh.
"The Chinese traded what they had to do for our promises"
"How?"
Hinati Yi, who was originally proud of Jiāo's smooth wading and even getting extra assurances, looked at Ito in surprise.
"Once the goal of Chinese is achieved, then Lù West Asia will naturally become an outcast, and of course they will no longer be willing to provide port support to the fleet of Lù, and now that most of the warships of the fleet of Lù have been maintained, I believe that the people of Lù will not want to wait in the port any longer,...... Hey"
At this point, Ito closed his eyes in pain.
"What a tough opponent"
While sighing, Ito opened his eyes and looked at Hichiyi.
"Yijun, in the future, you can fight the god of jīng to deal with these Chinese foreign officials."
Looking out of the car at the street, seeing that China's imperial capital was becoming more and more like an oriental-style imperial capital, Ito continued.
"The most difficult outer jiāo officials are those who do not follow the rules, for such people, you never know what they will abandon at any time For this kind of person, the stage of the outer jiāo is just a fraud field to achieve the goal"
"The essence of waijiāo is fraud"
When he watched Ito Hirobumi's car leave the outer jiobu upstairs, Liang Dunyan said this sentence loudly when he turned around, but Cao Weiran, who was standing in front of him, noticed a wry smile on the minister's face.
"My lord, it seems that you do not agree with this view"
"This is His Majesty's point of view"
Liang did not hide the source of this view.
"In Your Majesty's view, friendship between nations can never exist, and at best there is only temporary cooperation forced by reality, and even such cooperation is fraudulent cooperation, so when formulating any plan, it is necessary to adhere to the principle that any international agreement can be torn up at any time."
"If this is the case, will it affect our country's future international credibility? If international credibility is undermined, I am afraid that nothing will be done to the good."
Liang Dunyan did not answer Cao Weiran when he expressed his opinion, and walked to his desk and sat down, and then motioned for Cao Weiran to sit down.
"Although I do not agree with this view, I do not deny that His Majesty did say the essence of Waijiāo"
Seeing that Cao Weiran still seemed to have many doubts, he explained further.
"The world's modern foreign rules are formulated by the powerful countries, and the formulators are mainly Britain and France, and now all countries must follow the various foreign rules formulated by Britain and France, and the British constantly emphasize that a country's foreign rules are fundamentally "to maintain international credibility", and its core is to maintain the validity and legality of the treaties that have been signed, these two points are inviolable, but ......"
With a sneer, Liang Dunyan raised his eyes and looked at Cao Weiran.
"Why did they make this rule?"
"My lord, that's because those treaties are all beneficial to him, and most of them are unequal treaties that he usurped."
It was only then that Cao Weiran realized why there was a so-called "treaty legality".
"Indeed, even if Britain and other countries sign so-called alliance treaties or equal treaties, or even secret treaties, they all adhere to a principle, in the treaty as much as possible to use their own favorable clauses to bind each other, such as the Anglo-Japanese alliance treaty, it used some clauses in the treaty to restrain Japan's initiative, in the Anglo-Japanese alliance treaty, it seems to be equal to Japan, but in fact, Britain's hundreds of years of imperial strategy have led to its foreign Jiāo department has a huge treaty writing team and deep skills... …”
With Shen Yin's kung fu, Liang Dunyan hesitated for a moment.
"From the time they made the treaty, they began to think that when they violated the treaty, they could always take advantage of the omissions in the treaty to find a favorable explanation for themselves, and Japan could only let it go."
"My lord, is it like this conflict between us and Japan, Britain directly reneged on the contract, but Japan couldn't find any room for refutation?"
Cao Weiran finally understood why the minister said this to himself, and in this Sino-Japanese conflict, the British directly rejected Japan's request on the grounds that "there is no Chinese clause in the treaty", and at the same time took out the provisions of the treaty, demanding that Japan respect British interests in China. ,
Unless Japan decides to tear up the Anglo-Japanese Alliance Agreement, which is valid for five years, they must respect Britain's "special interests south of the Yellow River." Of course, the premise for doing so is that the British are willing to safeguard their special interests south of the Yellow River.
"What word games do we like to play, and this is the most inferior game, the real game is the rule game"
When talking about the "rules game", Liang Dunyan deliberately accentuated his voice.
"If you become a rule-maker, then you have the whole game in control"
"My lord, but our national strength is limited, and it is impossible for us to become a rule-maker, but we can only operate within the rules made by others and be treated equally, I am afraid that God will bless."
How could Cao Weiran not know what kind of benefits the rule-maker would bring, but as a weak country, it often only becomes a "party that participates in the game" rather than a "party that formulates the game", and even for a weak country, whether it can participate in the game on an equal footing is itself difficult.
"Then we need to grasp the rules of the game, take advantage of the other party's omissions, and look for the possibility of tearing up the agreement in the future, of course, it can also be to prevent the other party from tearing up the agreement."
"What do you mean, sir?"
Cao Weiran realized that the purpose of the minister's words was probably not just to tell himself what the essence of the outer jiāo was, and there should be other meanings.
"If we want to avoid losing money on the treaty, we have to learn and understand the rules set by Westerners, so we ......"
With some smiles on his face, Liang Dunyan said with a smile.
"The ministry is going to send a few staff members to study abroad, how about it, are you interested in going to the UK?"
"Adult ......"
The minister's arrangement surprised Cao Weiran at the same time, but more moved, if he knelt in time, maybe he would immediately kneel down and thank the adult's understanding, the adult's arrangement, in fact, let himself temporarily study abroad to solve his father's "threat".
"Okay"
Seeing that Cao Weiran's face was full of emotion, Liang Dunyan waved his hand.
"Go and choose a dress, prepare for tonight's ball, you should also see the demeanor of foreign officials, it's a rare opportunity, maybe you can meet other people, isn't it?"
Liang Dunyan winked at Cao Weiran, because it is not difficult to have foreign officials at the ball, and there are also those famous sisters, for these young people, they may meet their sweethearts there.
Under the bright electric lights, the royal courtyard on the Purple Mountain is lit up all night, and the huā fences can be seen everywhere around the lawn of the huā garden, except for the French-style tree walls, and those fresh huā are as large as man-made fake huā. The delicate roses, the elegant peonies, and the fresh huā are scattered like tassels.
And on the stage of lùtian, the cheerful orchestral sound, as if it was the low yín of irrepressible happiness, floated over for a moment, this was the royal reception, which was attended by representatives of all walks of life from all walks of life, celebrities and foreign officials of various countries in Nanjing at the suggestion of the empress.
After all, from any point of view, with the issuance of the Sino-Japanese Joint Communique, anyone can see that the "cheap" side is China, although China's mainstream media and even the emperor himself do not care about it, and even some jī enterers think that this is a national shame, but it does not prevent this "victory" from being celebrated in another way.
For representatives and celebrities from all walks of life across the country, the royal ball is the best stage to expand the circle of friends, meet people from all walks of life, and improve their personal status.
Li Yijing, who grew up abroad since she was a child, has of course received dance training, but she has always participated in the so-called ball, especially the dance party on this formal occasion, which is not her liking, and even to a certain extent, she dislikes this kind of ball, so on the road, she always answers the questions raised by her father from time to time, and is always absent-minded.
"It's nothing more than a group of people flattering there"
Li Yijing, who was originally not interested in the ball, came to the lù day dance hall in the royal garden, the ball had already begun, and as soon as she came in, she encountered an incident that made her heart can't help but feel nauseous. Li Yijing is dressed in a rose sè Han-style evening dress, the whole person looks delicate, perhaps because of the perfume, the whole person exudes a burst of fragrance, needless to say, this dress, coupled with the wild xìng eyes flashing in Li Yijing's eyes, can be said to show the beauty of modern China's young NV to the fullest, these NV children can always make people stunned when they wear elegant and noble modern Hanfu. ,
"Looking back and smiling"
Watching this young NV child enter the dance party with his family, Yuan Shikai, who was also late "to show that he was busy with official business", couldn't help but admire. At this time, another young man in a white sè naval uniform, who came in a hurry, passed by Li Yijing, he subconsciously turned his head, and cast a glance at her back in the same amazement.
Then he thoughtfully brushed the tape with his hand, and he had seen this NV person.
"That is Lord Yuan, that is Lord Zhang, and that is ......"
After entering the ball, Li Fengze introduced those officials to NV from time to time, as the manager of Tianma Automobile Company, he has "His Majesty's agent", and he also knows the officialdom very well, and after taking NV into the ball, he introduces those people to NV from time to time, so that when greeting them, NV will not be rude.
While following his father in a boring jiāo, Li Yiqing once again cast his eyes on the protagonists of this ball-His Majesty and the Empress, His Majesty in a naval uniform wore several medals in front of him, and the Empress in a pale yellow sè Confucian skirt beside him, looking from a distance, the Empress did have the same face as the newspaper said, and the two stood side by side, greeting the guests gracefully and elegantly.
"See Your Majesty, Empress"
When Li Fengze saluted, when Chen Moran saw the NV kid next to the manager of his car company, a trace of exclamation without evil thoughts flashed across his face, this NV man himself seemed to have seen it somewhere.
Although it was only a momentary change, it did not escape Li Yijing's eyes. And her easy-going father, with a smile on his face, happily introduced the NV to His Majesty and the Empress in a few words. As for Li Yijing, she was half shy, half proud, and at the same time won the favor of the queen in an instant with her skillful Western-style jiāo method.
"Your Majesty, the American Ambassador has arrived"
"Qing'er, let's go over there together"
Ji Li, who was full of smiles, took Li Yiqing's hand in time and led her towards the group of yàn Li fù people. At this time, on the lawn around the stage, there were celebrities waiting to be invited to dance, and their huābians, peihuā and ivory fans were like silent bōlàng surging in the refreshing smell of perfume. This xiǎo pile of people, all of them are young nv of the same age, wearing the same light blue sè, light blue sè dress, Chinese like Yan sè plain and elegant clothing, when those nv children saw that the queen actually led a beautiful nv child to come, they were surprised at the same time, and they guessed the identity of this nv child.
“…… There, it's just the front-line soldiers who use their lives, and I can't talk about any wisdom......"
After his wife left, he chatted happily with the officials from all over the world, and Chen Moran politely said that as the master, this was the first time he was proud from the bottom of his heart, after all, it was he who took advantage of this battle.
"Your Majesty, Dean Ito and Ambassador Hichiki have arrived."
A naval officer walked up behind Chen Moran and spoke softly.
Hearing that it was Ito Hirobumi, Chen Moran suddenly had a smile on his face, and before the dance began, he had already received a report from the Admiralty that more than 30,000 people from the two divisions and one brigade had landed in Taiwan at six ports, including Kaohsiung, Keelung, and Tamsui, starting at 10:15 a.m., and by the evening, two army divisions and one marine brigade had already completed the landing of troops, and heavy equipment would be transported to Taiwan overnight.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, we will be able to announce this news to the whole country, and the reason why it has gone so smoothly is that it has been successfully implemented with the help of Hirobumi Ito.
Although they were destroyed and burned when they left, they really thought that they could intimidate themselves by relying on those xiǎo actions, and in a mainland province, they often only need to send 1,000 civil affairs officials, but this time the Ministry of the Interior has prepared 3,000 civil affairs officials and other technical personnel for Taiwan.
Stealing jī is not a counter-erosion of rice! That little bit of Xiǎo thought can hide that there is a slight smauntness in his expression, maybe it is the smugness in his heart, Chen Moran took the initiative to greet Ito Hirobumi with a smile on his face, but when he saw Hichiyi next to Ito Hirofumi, he frowned.
For this ambassador to China, Chen Moran can be said to be extremely disgusted, in history, he signed the 21st article with Yuan Shikai with the threat of "declaring war", even a few days ago, when he handed over the national letter, he was also full of pride, what a thing.
That is, to greet these few steps, when Ito Hirofumi and Hichi Yi saluted him, Chen Moran still frowned slightly, but he saluted back politely, but he noticed that Hi Zhiyi snorted coldly, and there was a faint trace of unhappiness on his face. At this moment, Liang Dunyan led Cao Weiran over. ,
"Your Majesty"
When he saluted with the minister, he noticed the contempt in his eyes when he looked at His Majesty, and this disrespectful look only made Cao Wei angry, and when he saw Hi Zhiyi, who was half a head shorter than Ito, his chún horn raised.
"Yo, isn't this Your Excellency Rizhiyi?"
Cao Weiran took the initiative to salute.
"On an occasion like today, all the countries sent are prominent gentlemen, and the ladies are like blooming fresh huā, but looking around the audience, it seems that only Your Excellency is the tallest, are the people of your country as short as Your Excellency?"
When Cao Weiran said this, he even deliberately said it loudly in standard Oxford English, and sure enough, as soon as he said this, the people around him turned their eyes to Ri Zhiyi at the same time, and several blonde and blue-eyed NV soldiers nearby even deliberately considered Ri Zhiyi with a comparative eye, and then laughter came out of the voices of NV and men.
"Your Excellency, your height ......"
Gusieev, the assistant counselor of the Russian embassy, walked up to the embarrassed Rizhiyi, deliberately compared his height, and then made a mockery in English.
"Such a short xiǎo in a tuxedo, like ...... Well, gentlemen, like a monkey in a circus"
The laughter rang out at the same time as the sound of approval rang out at the same time, although it was not appropriate to make such a joke on such an occasion, but who would mind a joke at a ball?
"It's a pity"
Severely bruised to the point of self-esteem, Hinati Yimeng's tǐngxiōng to make his body tǐng pull out, while glaring at Cao Weiran, who provoked him and caused this "joke", from now on, he really hated this damn Chinese.
"It is true that the Japanese are short, but there are also tall people, although there are also tall and burly people like Your Excellency, but in our country they are called straw bales or people with simple minds and well-developed limbs, and people like this are just waste that must not be entrusted with national affairs."
