Chapter 115: Negotiation with the Jews
Wei Li went to see Chen Fu on the same day, but was told that Chen Fu was holding a meeting, which would probably last about three days, so he could only entrust Tang Shaoyi, vice minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to let the prime minister meet him at the end of the meeting, and also said that there was a big matter to discuss.
After Tang Shaoyi agreed, he was relieved to meet the embassy, and he was also helpless when he encountered this situation, he originally wanted to ask to see Qin Yu directly, but now Qin Yu is not something that he can see if he wants to, and Miss Lilia did not say that he wanted to see Qin Yu, so it is not easy for him to ask to see him.
After Wei Li went back, he wanted to tell SΓΉ Lilia to wait for a few days, but when he thought that she had rested, he didn't bother, he went back to his room to think about the purpose of Lilia's trip, the committee would not send core personnel to China for no reason, and as soon as he came, he wanted to see the prime minister of Huaxia, could it be that the committee saw the potential of Huaxia and wanted to enter Huaxia? Or do you want to nurture China to deal with the brutal Tsarist Russia?
Wei had a lot of ideals, but he didn't think of the answer he wanted, and he simply went to rest because his head hurt a little when he thought about it.
When it was time for dinner, Wei Li and Lilia woke up to eat, during which Wei Li told SΓΉ Lilia that the prime minister of China had been in a meeting for the past few days, and it was estimated that it would take a while to meet, and Wei Li also tried to find out the purpose of Lilia's visit to China, but they were all fooled by Lilia.
The next day, Lilia and the housekeeper led the interpreter at the embassy to visit Tiananmen Square and other places, where she wanted to see the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square in Beijing.
Looking at the towering city walls, huge city gates and glorious attics, Lilia also sighed in her heart, it is really worthy of the Chinese civilization that has been inherited for thousands of years, such a perfect building was built hundreds of years ago, and the wisdom of the Chinese people is no worse than that of their Jews.
Lilia spent several days touring the scenery in Beijing, and the different customs of Beijing also made her gradually like Chinese culture, and she specially found a Chinese person in Beijing who could speak English to teach her Chinese.
As soon as the meeting ended, Chen Fu received a report from Tang Shaoyi saying that US Ambassador Methody had something important to do with him during the meeting, and hoped that he would be able to meet Methody as much as possible after the meeting.
Chen Fu thought that something important was something important, so he immediately sent someone to find Wei Li, after all, the business cooperation with the United States has been almost discussed now, and if something unexpected happens, it will be troublesome.
After receiving the news, Wei Li took Lilia to see Chen Fu, and it just so happened that he also wanted to know what Lilia's purpose was, if he could get effective information, he would be able to make meritorious contributions in front of the president, and then he could be transferred back to China, now he is too tired in Huaxia, and he is not as much oil and water as he was in the Manchu Qing Dynasty before, who will suffer in Huaxia.
Chen Fu specially found a quiet conference room to receive Wei Li, and he was also very strange when he saw the girl behind Wei Li, how could Wei Li bring a woman to him.
When they first met, Chen Fu was amazed by Lilia's beauty, but he soon recovered, he had already married a wife and had children, and now he had a certain ability to resist these.
"Hello Prime Minister Chen, this is Lilia Schiff, the daughter of the president of the Jewish Council, this time the main thing is the prime minister she is looking for, Lilia, this is the first prime minister of China, Prime Minister Chen Fu." Wei Li first looked at Lilia, and then at Chen Fu.
Chen Fu was shocked when he heard about the Jewish Committee, but his face did not change much, and he smiled and nodded at Lilia. At this time, Chen Fu thought in his heart that Qin Yu said that the Jews control most of the world's economy, and they can't be a little sloppy in dealing with the Jews, and if the country can't deal with it, they will be handed over to him to deal with.
Lilia stretched out her white little hand to hold Chen Fu's hand and said politely, "Hello, I'm Lilia, the representative of the Jewish Council of America. β
Chen Fu nodded and said in English, "Is there something wrong with Miss Lilia, to find Mr. Wei Li as an intermediary?" β
"It's not a big deal, it's just to discuss the matter of our committee entering China to do business, we are very interested in your country, I wonder if His Excellency the Prime Minister will give Lilia a chance to negotiate?" Saying that, Lilia smiled and said to Chen Fu.
Chen Fu quickly understood what Lilia meant, and then said to Lilia and Wei Li: "Of course this will be given, uh, by the way, Wei Li, you go to find Minister Wu, it just so happens that he has something to look for you." β
After finishing speaking, Chen Fu took Lilia to another conference room regardless of Wei Li's reaction, leaving only Wei Li who was stunned, Wei Li had already reacted, these two people wanted to separate themselves, as for going to Minister Wu to talk about things, it was false, but he also had to go, if something was delayed because of this, it is estimated that Zongheng would not let him go.
After entering another conference room, there were only two left, Chen Fu and Lilia, Chen Fu was not worried about security at all, when he entered the government, Lilia and Wei Li were checked by the guards outside, and if Chen Fu had an accident, everything the United States had done before would be in vain, so there was no need to worry about security.
After the two sat down, Chen Fu asked in German: "Miss Lilia should know German, my English is not very good, if you know it, use German." β
"I know German, I studied in Germany, and I studied German, so I didn't bring an interpreter when I learned that His Excellency the Prime Minister had studied in Germany."
"Lilia, what are you doing in our empire, if it's business, go to the Ministry of Economy to negotiate, say, you should come with the purpose of your committee, right?" Chen Fu asked directly, because of Qin Yu's warning, he could only get straight to the point, otherwise he didn't know when he would be tempted.
Lilia looked at Chen Fu with a smile and said, "Your Excellency, the Chinese should be very modest, it is the first time I have seen such a straightforward Chinese person." I did come on behalf of the committee this time, our intention is very simple, we hope that Huaxia can secretly sell us parts of Nanhai Province or Beiheng Province, of course, you can rest assured that we will pay a huge amount of money to buy it, if we can, the committee will give Huaxia a large amount of loans, and even all kinds of support that we can do. β
"What, you want to buy our territory? This is impossible, no matter who will not sell the territory of Huaxia, even His Majesty will not do this, you still have to die of this heart. When Chen Fu heard that the other party was going to sell Huaxia's territory, he suddenly stood up and said with a straight face.
Whoever sells the territory of the empire will be punished with the most severe punishment, and the law of selling and ceding the territory of the empire is the death penalty, which is the law issued by His Majesty the emperor himself, which also includes the emperor, if the emperor betrays or cedes it, he will be ousted from power, abolish his imperial status, and have an heir to continue to be the emperor.
"Isn't there any room for negotiation? You have taken those areas from the British, and if you buy some for us, you will not be opposed by the people of your country.
If not, we can rent or borrow a part of your country to carry out our affairs, we need to restore the country, we need a base for us to train our troops. Lilia said resolutely.
Chen Fu looked at Lilia and said, "It is impossible to lease the land to you, and the former Qing Dynasty vividly warns us not to make the slightest concession on the land. As for training your troops, we don't dare to let an army that threatens us exist in our own homes, so you might as well go to other countries to get this. β
"How about getting our soldiers into your army to train, and I hope that your country can support us when we return to the country, whether it is resources or international solidarity, we need your help. In exchange we will unite the Jews of the world to give you a large amount of money and help, so that your country can rise in the shortest possible time.
Taiwan, Outer Mongolia, and Northeast China are still under the control of Japan and Russia, and you can foresee what kind of difficulties you will encounter when you take back these things.
There will inevitably be a great war between your country and Japan and Russia, and we can help you defeat them during this time, but at the cost of helping us train our soldiers and support them. β
Chen Fu's fingers tapped on the table in the conference room in a slow rhythm, and this action was an action that he slowly imitated Qin Yu after seeing too much of Qin Yu's use.
I have to say that this is a very good mentions, the funds of the Jews are incomparably huge, after getting these help and support, China can indeed rise in the shortest time, but there is a very strict crisis during the period, after all, no country is willing to support the Jews now, only China's old friend Germany is supporting the Jews.
"Miss Lilia, this has touched the core interests of the empire and the choice of the future, so I want to report to His Majesty, if we can, we will let you meet His Majesty, you go back and wait patiently for a day or two, and I will send someone to find you if it has an effect." Chen Fu could only say to Lilia in the end.
Lilia had known about the Chinese Empire before, and knew that the Chinese government and Germany's were the emperor's final say, so Chen Fu's words were in her expectation, she originally said these things to the Chinese emperor, and now she is just passing the message to the Chinese emperor through the Chinese prime minister.
Lilia went back quickly, and Chen Fu went directly to Qin Yu, because this matter was so important that he didn't dare to make a decision on his own.
Qin Yu was reviewing and correcting the text in his office, when suddenly the Praetorian Guard soldiers outside the office knocked on the door and shouted: "Report to Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Prime Minister said outside that there is something important to discuss, do you want to let you go?" β
"Let him in."
After receiving the order from the Praetorian Guard, Chen Fu walked quickly to Qin Yu's office, knocked them and went in.
"I've met Your Majesty, and just now U.S. Ambassador Methody brought representatives of the American Jewish Council to meet his subordinates, and he talked about a lot of things."
After hearing the Jews, Qin Yu stopped and listened carefully, and Chen Fu also began to repeat the content of the negotiation just now to Qin Yu.
After hearing this, Qin Yu said: "You go and ask the people from the intelligence department to verify Lilia's identity, I will think about this matter again, and let him come to me when I prove my identity." After talking about it a little more, Chen Fu went back to verify Lilia's identity.
