Chapter 742: Race for the Lead

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is gracious! The nearly ten people stood up very flattered, after all, the emperor was high and majestic in the traditional concept, how could they have ever seen such an amiable emperor?

Thinking of the days when I was discriminated against by foreigners and bullied by Fujianese in Singapore, some people even wiped away tears.

"President Su, President Ye, since you are here, sit down with your men, don't delay, let's give Your Majesty the wind." At this time, Zhang Sanchao interjected without yin or yang.

"Humph!" Su Jinsheng, Ye Afu and the others snorted heavily, and walked straight to the empty table at the bottom and sat down, full of gunpowder.

Lin Yongfu ignored them, put on a smiling face, and picked up the wine glass again, but similar to the first time, before the words came out, Wang Feng had already interrupted: "Today is a good day for our Chinese compatriots to gather, how can there be outsiders present?" ”

Brush Brush Brush! Dozens of pairs of eyes successively turned to Gavina and several foreign secretaries, according to the definition of Chinese compatriots given by Wang Feng, aren't these people outsiders? Wang Feng's meaning of provoking people is self-evident.

The Cantonese led by Su Jinsheng and Ye Afu all whispered well, and with this sentence alone, Wang Feng made his position clear and gave them a reassurance.

Lin Yongfu, Zhang Sanchao and the others were caught off guard, and Gavinner's face turned red in an instant, and in their thoughts, even if Wang Feng was in trouble, it should have been after three rounds of drinking, and it was absolutely impossible for him to turn his face as soon as he sat down.

Because this is human nature, and the later Wang Feng turns his face, the weaker his momentum will be, and they can firmly grasp the dominance of the talks.

This is very understandable, eating and drinking people, and being warmly entertained. The confidence to turn your face is always a little weak, right? Now Wang Feng didn't move a chopstick, didn't drink a glass, and turned his face directly, obviously seeing through their minds, let's strike first, Gavinner is the first target.

Don't underestimate the significance of Gavinner's accompaniment. It can not only support the banana people psychologically, but also indirectly express dissent to the ownership of Singapore through Gavenna's official status, and more importantly, if Gavenna succeeds in staying, he will win the first battle!

To play Go, you need to compete for the first hand, Wang Feng is a scramble for Gavinna!

Li Hongzhang figured it out in an instant and nodded secretly.

But this pioneer is not so contentious. Lin Yongfu threw a slightly anxious look at Gavenna, and then arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Your Excellency Gavenna is the Governor of the Straits, is it not too much to welcome you on behalf of the Queen of England?" ”

Wang Feng said disapprovingly: "He is no longer here, since I set foot on the land of Singapore, the Sultan of Malacca will restore the legal rule of Singapore, and before that, it was managed by the Chinese government, and Gavenna was the last British governor in Singapore. You should be summoned at the mansion and wait for my summons. And not uninvited.

Originally, adding a few more pairs of chopsticks was nothing, but as I just said, tonight is a gathering between our Chinese, and the theme of the meeting is to talk about the nostalgia, and Mr. Gavenner is British. He was not of the same language, and he had no nostalgia to describe, so he was not suitable to attend, and in order to maintain the purity of the meeting, I would rather be rude than invite him away. ”

"Mr. Gavenner. Please, before you leave, I will make a special trip to practice for you. Wang Feng looked at Gavenna.

Gavina trembled angrily, was driven away at the banquet, and immediately said angrily: "Britain and China are countries that have established diplomatic relations, and you have no right to expel a British local government leader on British territory!" ”

After taking a few deep breaths in a row, Gavina added: "The British government is the current ruler of Singapore, which constitutes a necessary condition for legal validity in international law, even if your country advocates that the Sultanate of Malacca return to the rule of Singapore, until an heir is found, it should be managed by the British government, not the Chinese government!"

Therefore, tonight's banquet is a reception banquet jointly organized by me, as the Governor of the British Channel, and the representatives of Chinese businessmen in Singapore, and I am one of the hosts, and I have the right to stay, and if your country forcibly drives me away, I will understand that this is an act of dove occupying NestlΓ© and a serious violation of the norms of international relations! It is a crude provocation of British sovereignty and will inevitably arouse the public indignation of the international community! ”

Gavina was full of provocative and trampling, public indignation, and at first glance it was a very serious protest, Lin Yongfu and others looked at each other and were very satisfied, but they ignored one point, Gavenner's speech was missing the most important content, armed revenge!

In the era of great powers, without the backing of force, can words carry weight? Wang Feng couldn't help but exchange a knowing look with Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang said in a hurry: "Mr. Gavenna, the Sultan of Malacca was established in 1405 and perished in 1511. ”

Gavina was stunned, he didn't understand Li Hongzhang's intentions, out of instinct he wanted to deny it, but the history of the Sultanate of Malacca is not very long, whether it is China, Portugal, or Britain, there are a considerable number of archives preserved, and there is no way to deny it, so he nodded stiffly: "That's the case." ”

Li Hongzhang continued: "The British established a colony in Singapore in 1824, which I believe everyone here knows, relatively speaking, the history of the Sultan of Malacca as a vassal state of China is a full hundred years, and during this hundred years, every sultan of the country needs to be recognized by the Ming government to have legitimacy, that is, the Sultan of the country is the agent of China's administration of the Malacca region centered on Singapore, which is equivalent to the representative of the Chinese government until his death at the hands of Portugal.

Your rule over Singapore has lasted only thirty-seven years, and China's rule over the region is nearly three times longer than that of the British, and it is only natural that China should exercise the right of trusteeship on the premise that China and Britain have agreed to restore the legitimate rule of the Sultanate of Malacca.

Of course, in view of the basis of friendship between China and Bitish, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not intend to file a claim or protest against the British Government in this regard, but it should be made clear that Mr. Gavinner, your self-proclaimed mastership is untenable, and you don't think it's funny that an unrelated third party is the Chinese emperor in the land under Chinese escrow? ”

"Friendly fart!" It's okay not to mention friendship, but when it comes to friendship, Gavenner's anger completely exploded, and he roared: "If China is friendly to Britain, why is it an enemy of Britain again and again?" And why did he exile the Qing Kingdom to Australia? Didn't you know that Australia is a British territory? You are deliberately violating British sovereignty, and when did I say that Britain and China had reached an agreement on the restoration of the legitimate rule of the House of Malacca? It's just a reversal of black and white! ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Gavenner behaved like a wronged little daughter-in-law, you know, he was one of the four governors of the British Empire, and he was forced to this point, and a strange feeling rose in everyone's hearts.

"Mr. Gavenna, please calm down!" Li Hongzhang said coldly: "China is not an enemy of Britain, and it has never been an enemy of Britain, China is only safeguarding its own legitimate rights and interests, your accusations are groundless, and China will send a note to your country's minister in China to lodge a protest." ”

Gavinner really calmed down, the most basic quality of a diplomat is to be calm, because impulse is the devil, and diplomats because of the particularity of their profession, every word and deed represents the country, and talking nonsense will be caught by other countries by pigtails, which will have an adverse effect.

Just as the US military is talking bigger and bigger about using force against China, and it is eager to launch a nuclear war against China, the State Department's rhetoric is obviously much more cautious and mainly ambiguous, precisely because the military's speech can only represent the military, not the country.

Gavinner took a deep breath, but before a few seconds of this calmness had passed, Su Jinsheng also smiled coldly: "Mr. Gavenna, be a little shameful, you don't need to repeat what you said a few minutes ago?" I don't believe your memories only last a few minutes! ”

Ye Afu stood up even more and arched his hand to the surroundings: "The Chinese have a history of pioneering in Singapore for hundreds of years, and they were originally self-sufficient, whether they live well or hard, in short, they don't complain about the sky, but since the British forcibly occupied Singapore, everything has changed."

The British squeezed every cent of our value, in order to maintain his rule, but also instigated infighting among the Chinese, for more than 30 years, the major gangs have died at least 1,000 people due to conflicts, this is the British behind the ghost, only we are hostile to each other, he can divide and control, and even occasionally provoke no effect, he directly suppressed it!

Why did the British dare to oppress the Chinese unscrupulously? It's not because Chinese people like us who are living abroad are wild children that no one cares about, and the Qing Dynasty treats us as outcasts of the Celestial Empire, and life or death has nothing to do with him!

But now it's different, now China is backing us, since the NLD broke through Singapore two years ago, the British have been much less oppressed on the surface, right? Why is that? Because we are no longer lonely ghosts, we also have a motherland!

However, some people are so greedy for profit that the British have provoked them to set up a country on their own in a small part of Singapore, and you don't want to think about the time in the past few years that Britain has not been beaten by China, and can it end well if it takes refuge in the UK? Your reliance is nothing more than China's use of force against Singapore, well, even if China does not use force for the sake of its reputation, have you ever thought about the consequences of Singapore and the unreliable promises of the British against China's 400 million people? What's so bad about Singapore accepting Chinese jurisdiction? Don't you become sinners of history for the sake of petty profits! (To be continued.) )
