Chapter 116 Mentor (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) Read! ）

In the Oval Office of the White House, a xiǎoxiǎo meeting is going on, and all kinds of "xiǎo talks" are going on almost every day, but many of the talks are enough to affect the whole world, and it is in this room that the United States, which does not accept its subordination in dealing with international affairs, has made a series of moves to break through the Americas.

Under the vigorous auspices and impetus of Roosevelt, the president who eagerly led the United States into the international arena, the U.S. Navy has made great progress, coupled with its strong economic and industrial strength as its strong backing, he was able to forcefully control the affairs of the surrounding and even more distant regions, successfully resolved the armed disputes between Britain, Germany, Italy and other European powers and Venezuela over debts, and provided military protection and economic assistance to the Dominican Republic, which also defaulted on its debts to Europe and the United States. Inciting Panama to gain independence from Colombia in order to take control of the Isthmus of Panama and to mediate the Moroccan crisis...... And recently, he has been actively mediating the Russo-Japanese War and successfully ending the Sino-Japanese conflict, perhaps reluctant to admit that the white sè building and the Oval Office, which had been set on fire by the British, were playing a role in international affairs.

"Our battlefield observers have sent back some reports, Mr. Special Envoy, are you interested?"

Roosevelt, who was sitting behind the resolute desk, smiled at Huang Huiyun in front of him.

Today he took the initiative to invite Huang Huiyun to the White House, on the one hand, to attend the reception held at the White House, and on the other hand, to discuss with him on some issues, such as nòng knows the bottom line of Chinese on some issues.

"Of course"

Huang Huiyun nodded, he did not deny this, and even liked that the president noticed the difference between the squadron and the Qing team, which had to change a basis for his impression of China.

"Compared with any Manchu army, the current Chinese Imperial Guards Army is more offensive than any Manchu army, and in addition to the large number of improvised cannons and automatic weapons, it may be that it is the attacking jīng god and nationalism that have supported this army to victory on the battlefield."

When Roosevelt read out this report, he deliberately ignored one of the most important conclusions of the report.

“…… The squadron does not have enough and qualified senior officers, their officers are too young, and many young senior officers are unqualified or even incompetent from the eyes of the West,...... Their tactics are too blunt and inflexible, the staff is the core of the squadron, and the number of high-ranking officers with excellent quality is limited, so they have to transfer a large number of officers to the general staff,...... Their victory, in part, was due to the extensive use of new tactics and weapons, which, despite the negative effects of the youthfulness of the officer corps, allowed them to use them without fear......"

When Roosevelt spoke, Huang Huiyun only smiled politely, he did not understand military affairs, and he was inconvenient to speak.

"In the past, we have said that Chinese cannot be a good soldier, but today, we may not be willing to face it, but we have to admit that once Chinese undergo rigorous training, they can become the best soldiers in the world, and may not be inferior to Prussian soldiers...... Mr. Huang, this is perhaps the most astonishing compliment I have ever heard, and I have to admit that the image of your country, because of the efforts of the soldiers, is changing."

Putting down the report in his hand, Roosevelt looked at Huang Huiyun and said seriously, in the early days of the Sino-Japanese conflict, when the reports were sent, he could hardly believe his eyes, the Chinese Army was able to defeat the Japanese Army, maybe the Japanese Army was exhausted, but it was not, and in the end, he couldn't believe it.

And this "miraculous" reversal made him look at the squadron even more impressively, and his views on China also changed.

"Your Excellency the President"

Maybe Huang Huiyun didn't understand military affairs, but he knew what those soldiers were fighting for.

"In the past, we were reluctant to fight for the colonists, just as during the American Revolutionary War, the vast majority of Americans were reluctant to help the British, I once read in the newspapers, "Chinese soldiers and Japanese soldiers fought for their own majesty in the land of the Northeast", I do not agree with this, yes, our soldiers are soldiers of the Royal Guard, but our soldiers are not only fighting for Your Majesty but even for the country",

"Oh?"

Roosevelt was stunned, he didn't think there was anything wrong with fighting for His Majesty, didn't the British, Germans, Russians, and Japanese all fight for their Majesty? Aren't the soldiers of every country in the world fighting for their country? Of course, it is necessary to exclude the Qing ** team in the past.

"Other countries, maybe for Your Majesty, for the country, but for China"

An oriental-style wry smile appeared on Huang Huiyun's face, and he cast his eyes on Roosevelt, who was slightly suspicious.

"Your Excellency, you must know that 261 years ago we lost our country, a nation became a slave of a foreign race, in order to rule the nation that had created the oriental civilization, the foreign race used a butcher's knife to kill almost all the jīng Ying of this nation, 260 years of slavery, 200 million living beings were brutally killed, in the foreign race of the foolish policy, this nation fell into the danger of the nation falling again because of backwardness, the lessons of history tell us that we must fight for survival"

"Fighting for survival?"

"Yes, Your Excellency the President's fight for survival is the foundation of our soldiers, fighting on the front line, and they shoulder not only the expectations of His Majesty and the country, but the hope of whether a nation can survive in the world. For the sake of Your Majesty, Your Majesty will have times of disappointment, for the sake of the country, the country will have times of disappointment, but you can survive......"

Roosevelt didn't know that Huang was wearing a top hat for the army, but he could understand the idea of fighting for survival.

"Survival is invincible and uncompromising, and if it fails, it needs to come at the cost of the complete death of a nation, right? Your Excellency the Special Envoy"

"Your Excellency the President, we have only one wish, that the nation can survive in the world, that the country can gain a foothold in the world, and that all friendly countries will be able to wait for us on an equal footing...... That's all we could ask for,"

Huang Huiyun did not directly answer Roosevelt's question, but answered with something that was specially emphasized in the secret telegram he received three days ago.

"To a certain extent, the Han nation has never been an expansive nation, and we don't have much appeal to the outside, as it has been for thousands of years."

"And how do you explain what you did in the Dutch East Indies?"

Roosevelt blinked, as if to expose Huang Huiyun's disguise.

"Price"

Spit out a word in a powerful voice, Huang Huiyun said seriously. Roosevelt's abrupt change of subject made him understand that perhaps Roosevelt wanted to act as a mediator between China and the Netherlands, and that any American and foreign officials in the United States could understand why President Roosevelt was keen on "international mediation."

Roosevelt's attempt to use "international mediation" to expand the influence of the United States in the international arena so as to achieve the goal of expanding the influence of the United States in the international community, to play a role in continuous international mediation, and to finally achieve the enhancement of "international status." This may be Roosevelt's intention.

After understanding the purpose of Roosevelt's invitation to the White House to attend the "reception" this time, Huang Huiyun immediately thought about how to answer Roosevelt's question without resenting this "potentially important partner."

Showing weakness is obviously not good, and the xìng character of the Americans leads them to dislike the weak, and weakness will be considered bulliable by them. It is not enough to be blindly tough, but to take care of the face of Roosevelt, the US president who is eager to expand and prove "American influence."

"Every country needs to pay the price for its actions, and now China is still paying the price for the colonization it has suffered, in terms of God, in terms of land, in wealth, and in terms of its actions, Your Excellency President, if I remember correctly, this is an international principle advocated by Your Excellency."

After choosing to respond with the "international principles" that Roosevelt had advocated, the smile on Huang Huiyun's face slowly disappeared, and at the same time, his expression became extremely solemn.

"Is it true that only Asian countries need to pay the price for their actions, while European and American countries do not need to pay the price for their actions? The Dutch slaughtered the Chinese diaspora, so the price they had to pay was not just monetary, it had to be a constant reminder that the next time they acted, they would be reminded of the price they had paid for their last stupidity, the Spaniards had to pay Cuba and the Philippines, and China ...... Your Excellency, what we need is Lan Fang."

Huang Huiyun's solemn voice seemed a little low, and there was some questioning in the low, and when he said almost every word, Huang Huiyun would say it in as slow a tone as possible, so as to think about the next sentence in his mind, and at the same time not show weakness, but also take care of Roosevelt's face.

In this tone of rhetorical questioning and not conceding, Huang Huiyun threw everything to Roosevelt, according to his meaning, China was just "engaged in international affairs in the way advocated by Mr. Roosevelt", did not show weakness, and praised Roosevelt and the United States as "China's foreign mentors", which can be said to have taken care of the face of Roosevelt and the United States, but the final Chinese request made the atmosphere of the Oval Office change.
