Chapter 694: Verbal Sword

Seeing that his son had finally opened his mind, Abdul nodded with satisfaction and continued. "Our Arab world has been ruled by the Western world for more than 100 years, and now Saudi Arabia has become a state. But this is only in name, in fact many things are manipulated by Britain and the United States behind the scenes. For example, when the Chinese fleet came to visit, although the British kept saying that they wanted to stop the Chinese, in fact, as long as people with a little wisdom knew that the British still wanted the Chinese, how could they really stop the arrival of the Chinese? This is just that the British government is anxious to see that the Chinese are going to insert their hands into the Middle East, and wants to bargain with the Chinese people and take the opportunity to make some gains. ”

"Father, even if this is the case, wouldn't it make things more complicated if the Chinese people meddle in the affairs of our country again?" Khalid, the first heir, still couldn't figure it out.

"Khalid, you're too young after all." Abdul sighed and shook his head: "Silly son, if you think about it carefully, the situation in the Middle East is bad enough now, even if the Chinese intervene in the Middle East, can it be worse than now?" In my opinion, if the Chinese people come, it may not be a bad thing for us. ”

Khalid felt that his brain was a little insufficient, so he patted his head and said suspiciously, "Father, I still don't understand, can you elaborate on that?" ”

Abdul has dealt with Britain and the United States all his life, and his knowledge is naturally not comparable to Khalid, and when he saw his son humbly asking for advice from him, he took the opportunity to point out to his son: "On the surface, the Chinese people have stepped in to make the situation in our country even more confusing. But as long as you analyze it carefully, you will know that once the Chinese people get involved, our activity space will be broader. The United States, Britain and other countries belong to the same Western civilization, and their values and religious beliefs are exactly the same. China belongs to the East, the difference between the Eastern civilization and the Western civilization is quite large, they are destined not to be able to merge together, once they have a conflict, then our importance as the host is highlighted, both of them need our support, then our importance is not revealed? ”

"Oh," Khalid suddenly realized that he slapped the big tui, "That's right, in the Chinese parlance, this is called "left and right", right? ”

"Yes, I didn't expect Khalid to have any research on Chinese culture." Abdul gave his son an appreciative look and gestured to the sofa next to him for him to sit down. Khalid said with some pride: "When I learned last week that the Chinese fleet was coming to visit our country, I specially asked a teacher to teach me about the history of that country, and now it doesn't seem too bad. ”

"Then do you understand the differences between the Chinese and the British?" Abdul asked with great interest: "You must know that there is a big difference between the thinking of Easterners and Westerners. ”

Khalid thought for a moment and said: "Compared to Westerners, Easterners are softer in their thinking, and they are not as focused on immediate interests as Westerners, who are more rational than aggressive like Westerners. ”

After hearing this, Abdul asked noncommittally: "Is there anything else?" ”

"That's all for now." Khalid scratched his head, he really couldn't think of it.

Abdul smiled: "It's rare that you can learn so much in another week."

But what is the difference between the Chinese and those English, you have to contact them to know, because they will arrive tomorrow."

On 18 May 1942, when members of the delegation from China and a company of marines arrived at the Saudi Capital Airport in the plains of the Hanifa Valley in the middle of the Arabian Peninsula in 20 "Aunt Junkers" and escorted by more than 20 "Hellcat" fighters, King Abdul of Saudi Arabia and all members of the royal family came to the airport to greet him, and a grand welcome banquet was held at the royal palace that night.

British and American officials in Riyadh were also invited to the welcome banquet, which conquered the venue with his oriental humor, wit and elegance.

"Hello, this is Lord Edie, the British Empire's ambassador to Saudi Arabia."

"This is Mr. Ian Blake, the U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia."

"This is"

Saudi King Abdul introduced the important personnel attending the meeting to Zhou Tiecheng and Zheng Xin one by one.

"Zhou Xianzhi, hello, come." The U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Ian Blake, just smiled and greeted Zhou Tiecheng decently, his attitude was not warm or cold, but the British ambassador's words were a little sour.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the first time that your country's fleet has made such a long voyage, and the road must be very hard, right? The sea is very rough during this time, so you should be careful. ”

This sounded very ordinary at first glance, but Zheng Xin, who was standing behind Zhou Tiecheng, heard a different taste. The British ambassador to Saudi Arabia was secretly satirizing that the Huaxia Fleet was a rookie navy that could not withstand even some storms.

Zheng Xin raised her eyebrows and was about to say something, but was quietly blocked by Zhou Tiecheng next to her, Zhou Tiecheng said with a smile: "Thank you Ambassador Yidi for your concern, we did encounter a storm when we came, and it also caused us some trouble." But in my opinion, this is a good thing, and it is also necessary for the growth of a fleet, especially the nascent navy, if a fleet cannot even conquer the wind and waves, how can it conquer our enemies and defeat those old navies? ”

Although Zhou Tiecheng frankly admitted the trouble caused by the wind and waves, he even bluntly expressed his determination to defeat the world's old navy.

A trace of anger flashed in Edie's eyes, Zhou Tiecheng clearly didn't take the British Empire into his eyes, did he think that he wanted to defeat the pride of the British Empire for more than two hundred years just by relying on a newly established fleet?

Joy and anger are the basic skills of a diplomat, and Lord Edie, although secretly angry in his heart, said with a professional smile on his face: "Oh, yes? Then I wish you all the best if you can achieve your wish soon. ”

Although Lord Edie had nothing to do on his face, but the people behind him may not have such a deep understanding, an officer wearing the British Navy uniform with the rank of colonel on his shoulder stood up and said proudly: "Mr. Zhou, please forgive me, there is a famous saying in the international military circles: "Ten years of the army and one hundred years of the navy." A truly powerful navy is not something that can be blown out, nor can it be called powerful just by building a few new warships. What a real navy needs is the precipitation and accumulation of time, otherwise a navy without fine traditions, even if you blow loudly, it will only make people laugh. ”

After seeing his officers jumping out and saying what they wanted to say but it was inconvenient to say, Lord Edie pretended to be displeased and shouted, "Colonel Bert, how can you speak like this to our guests, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Mr. Zhou!" ”

"Lord Edie, am I wrong? Why apologize? Colonel Bert asked arrogantly.

"You" Lord Edie shook his head at Zhou Tiecheng with a wry smile, "Mr. Zhou, I'm really sorry, he is my Colonel Martial Arts Colonel, although he is very straight, but his personality is good." ”

Seeing the British singing there, Abdul and a dozen royals behind him just watched quietly, watching coldly how the delegation from the East would deal with the provocations of the British. The Americans, on the other hand, watched this scene with a smile on their red wine, no matter what happened to the Americans, they were here to make soy sauce tonight.

At this time, a voice with a little coldness sounded in the venue: "This colonel, you are very right. A navy with a fine tradition is something to be proud of, but it is not a reason to indulge, and the world is constantly evolving and military transformation is deepening. But with all due respect, it is not a good thing that your country has been obsessed with the glory of the past and has not been able to keep up with the development of the times, for example, the tank was first invented by your country, but it is not your country that has carried it forward and brought it to glory, otherwise such a miserable scene would not have been staged in Dunkirk, wouldn't it? Zheng Xin finally couldn't help but stand up and fight back.

The venue suddenly fell silent, slapping the face, this is definitely a slap in the face of Chiguoguo, everyone on the earth knows that the scene in Dunkirk is an eternal pain in the hearts of the British, right there, more than 200,000 British expeditionary forces lined up into the German prisoner of war camp, where countless British rescue ships were sent to the bottom of the sea by the Germans, and Churchill Hua made great efforts to carry out the "generator plan..."In the end, less than 100,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force were rescued, which also made the British vitality greatly damaged.

"You," said Colonel Bert, who was speechless this time.

Seeing the embarrassment of his military attachΓ©s, Lord Edi frowned and said, "General Zheng,

Don't you think it's too much to say that the Dunkirk incident was a misfortune for Britain, but also for the whole world? ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to target your country." Zheng Xin smiled slyly, as a senior admiral, he naturally knew how to accept it when he saw it, he lowered his head slightly and said: "For the misfortune of your country's expeditionary force, both our government and I deeply sympathize, otherwise we would not have provided military assistance to your country since last year, what do you say?" ”

"You" saw that this hateful Huaxia general sacrificed the magic weapon of military assistance, and Lord Edi was suddenly like a fuse drenched by a little boy's urine, and his anger was extinguished at once.!
