Chapter 250: Verbal Sword
"We are willing to guarantee your sovereignty in the five provinces of Southeast Asia." Special Envoy Woodson replied to this point very dryly, and said with a smile: "I think there is not the slightest difference between us on this point. ”
At this time, Wang Yi finally knew the bottom line of the British and protected the existence of the Dragon King Sect in Southeast Asia. As long as there is zài, it is a success, and now neither the British nor Siam obviously do not think that this is a good time to expel the Northeast from Southeast Asia, at least they do not think they have such strength. In the same way, they also believe that every qiē is temporary, and as long as the Dragon King Sect is contained in Dongtai Province, it is only a matter of time before the Northeast is completely expelled.
When Woodson finished explaining the position of the British, Wang Yi's face did not have too much expression, but Han Xiujing, who was working as a translator on the side, was angry enough. It's not that Wang Yiyi is not angry, but he has the deepest understanding of the British style in later generations and is used to it. On the surface, it is sanctimonious, gentlemanly, and people who don't understand it really think that it is a country of gentlemen, but in fact, it is an out-and-out country of robbers, drug dealers, and conspiracy.
Later generations of Britain were not placed in the eyes of Wang Yi, at that time they had long lost the glorious imperial style of the sun in front of the Celestial Empire, as early as the end of World War II, the country began to gradually lose colonies, and finally completely became their cousin * the United States followers. In Europe, although he is still a big country, a major member of NATO, a major country in the European Union. But Britain is more of an island isolated from Europe than France and Germany, using a different pound than the euro and closely following the policies of the United States. And not, like France and Germany, pursuing the dream of a greater Europe.
Of course, Britain is still strong now, and it will take at least fifty or sixty years for Britain to fall into the situation of the future, and now Britain has the most indisputable strength in the world, an incomparable vast territory, and a huge navy that no other country in the world can compete with for the time being.
So when Woodson made such an excessive request to Wang Yi, although Wang Yi refuted, he would not directly turn his face with the British. Perhaps the Northeast is not afraid of the British attack, and the same is true of the five provinces of Southeast Asia, but the distant African territories are indeed lonely. Wang Yi can't act recklessly, he has too many scruples, no matter what, there is no need to make a fish die now. The British needed time for the Dragon King Cult to grow stronger, causing a tail to become unstoppable in the Northeast.
The Northeast also needs time in Southeast Asia, the economy needs to develop, and the infrastructure needs to be built. The divisions transferred from abroad need to adapt to the climate and environment of Southeast Asia, while the local divisions need to be trained and improved. In the eyes of the king, the Dragon King Sect is a local chicken and a dog, and it is vulnerable. As long as the Northeast develops, the leading position of science and technology drives the development of industry and commerce, and with the invincible insurance team, every difficulty will be solved. To put it bluntly, the Dragon King Sect is the Tsarist Russia in Southeast Asia, and Wang Yi used it as a whetstone to hone his army.
"Your country has always maintained very friendly relations with our side, we respect your interests in the East Asian region, the two sides have comprehensive exchanges, and officials of the two countries regularly exchange visits.
Woodson bowed slightly, nodding in agreement.
"I understand your second request, Mr. Woodson, but ask for your confidence in our ability and determination to keep the port city stable. The insurance team has been tested for confidence and ability to protect your country's legitimate rights and interests from being compromised. ”
Woodson looked at Wang Yi, stared at the eyes of the young man in front of him, and after a moment, finally compromised: "Since the chairman said so, then we will wait and see." ”
"Thank you Mr. Woodson for your understanding and support."
"And what about our first request? We do not want another large-scale upheaval in Indochina, which will not benefit either of us in the slightest. Maintaining peace and stability on the peninsula is our common responsibility. ”
"On that point alone, I agree with Mr. Woodson. Well, no matter what we call the Dragon King Sect, whether it is an uprising or a rebellion, if there is a possibility of a peaceful resolution of this incident, our northeastern side is willing to try to negotiate with the sovereignty of Dongtai Province clear. ”
Of course, Wang Yi could not agree to such a request, although it sounded good, but in fact it was false and wrongful, prevaricating the British.
"In that case, it couldn't be better."
As soon as Woodson said this, the two sides laughed together, and seemed to be in agreement, and they talked happily. In fact, it is also a qiē in the unspoken, you get me, I get you, and I don't say it.
At dinner, Wang Yi kept Woodson in the official residence for dinner, which can be regarded as a landlord's affection. At the dinner, Woodson met Shen Yazhi and said a bunch of praise, and later heard that the girl in front of him was the person in charge of the Charity Red Heart Society, and there was a rare sincerity in her words. It's just that when Wang Yi once again dropped the topic on the qualitative issue of the Dragon King Sect, the atmosphere dropped sharply and was no longer so harmonious.
"The Dragon King Religion is a religion, a spontaneous belief of the people of Southeast Asia, and there is absolutely no need for you to take a hostile position."
"Religion is also good and bad, religions that can drive ordinary people to the front of the battlefield as a shield, I don't think they can be associated with the word good. Doesn't Mr. Woodson think so? Wang Yi retorted.
Woodson laughed and said, "Your side is strong, and the Dragon King is weak, I believe that they had no choice but to do it at that time." ”
"I heard that the Dragon King cultists regard the Dragon King as a god, and I have the impression that a god should be infinitely powerful and powerful. In this case, the so-called dragon king himself came out to fight us, why bother to do such a despicable thing. And the act of driving the old and weak women and children to the battlefield just proves that he is nothing more than a pit of abductees. Fooling the people, confusing the people, and using force to coerce the people and threaten the government. If such a religion appears in your country, I wonder what your country will do with it. ”
"This is nothing more than your assumption, Chairman, and in fact, in my opinion, it is completely impossible for us in the British Empire to have such a situation." Woodson has something to say, although he did not say it explicitly, but it is also a disguised accusation of the incompetence of the Northeast Autonomous Region government, and he is to blame.
At the moment when the two were arguing with each other, Han Xiujing suddenly walked in in a panic and said, "Sir, Mr. Special Envoy, the Dragon King Sect launched a suicide terrorist attack at the First Hospital of Saigon City, and the casualties are still unknown......
