Zeppelin was indeed not a good negotiator, rigid, rigid, and inflexible. The only thing Wang Yi is thankful for is that a German diplomat, named Ludwig Heisenberg, finally came to Tanegashima from Shanghai because of the seizure of the airship.

"Hello, Mr. Heisenberg, I am the chairman of Dashang Group, Wang Yi."

Like all those who met Wang Yi for the first time, Ludwig was surprised by Wang Yi's youth, but fortunately he was also a figure who had seen the world, so he quickly calmed out his exposed feelings under his own coldness.

"Mr. Chairman, may I ask why you have seized our airship for no reason?" Before Ludwig set out from Shanghai, he had already received telegrams from Germany, as well as from Zeppelin from Tanegashima. The rhetoric of the two sides was completely opposite, and there was a crusade in the country, but Zeppelin, the captive, did not express the slightest dissatisfaction, but spoke good things for the Northeast Autonomous Region. This made Ludwig feel that things were a little unusual, and Germany's weak position in East Asia really left him with little solution to the problem.

Without waiting for Wang to speak, Zeppelin helped Dongbei explain. Because he was too busy, Wang Yi also had his own itinerary, so Ludwig, who had just arrived, only met with Zeppelin and the commander of the accompanying fleet, and before he had time to say more about the rest of the things, Wang Yi had already arrived.

"The Northeast did this because we violated their airspace."

The concept of airspace is a very unfamiliar concept to everyone in this world, but under Zeppelin's explanation, Ludwig understood the meaning, but he didn't intend to let Wang Yi go lightly, so he still refuted it at this time.

"Mr. Chairman, I don't think we have signed any agreement with you on airspace, and this is not a concept recognized by most countries in the world."

As for the competition for words and momentum, Wang Yi, who has been a high-level in the Northeast for many years, has already mastered it, so he didn't even look at Ludwig, drank the tea handed over by Lin Taixi in his hand, and interrupted directly and arrogantly: "We don't need anyone's admission, in my northeast, there are only two endings for any foreign aircraft to enter our airspace without our permission, one is to accept our guidance like a Zeppelin, and the other is ......" Wang Yi didn't continue, but the meaning is self-evident, that is, the plane is destroyed and people die.

Wang Yi's short pause and the uncompromising words before made Ludwig stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red with anger, but before he could speak, Wang Yi continued: "Mr. Heisenberg, please don't resist my concept so much. The airspace is actually a gift from me to various countries in the world, and now the strongest air force in the world is our Northeast Autonomous Region, and there is no one. You can imagine that if there were no airspace, our airships in the northeast could run rampant, if you really want to see such a situation. I don't mind sending thirty large attack airships, with bomb bays, around your royal palace a few times. ”

Ludwig's face was very ugly, but he wisely chose to remain silent about the facts. Although joking about the palace, or using William I's life phase shoes, made him very angry.

"Mr. Heisenberg, please don't do that, I'm very friendly to Germany. The violation of airspace is only an independent incident, and I do not want it to affect relations between our two countries. ”

Ludwig agreed that although Germany had developed, it was still weak to face Britain alone. Although the Northeast has good relations with the British, the strong development in Africa has also forced the British to invest more energy, and in a sense, the Northeast has also played a role in counterbalancing the British.

"I agree with the statement that it does not affect the relations between the two countries, and it also represents the opinion of His Majesty the Emperor and Prime Minister Bismarck."

"That's fine." Wang Yiyi smiled. "Your airship guide fleet can leave at any time, and the airship can fly out of the airspace under our leadership."

The conversation was not pleasant for Ludwig, but at least it played its part, protesting while maintaining normal relations with the Northeast. However, Zeppelin had other ideas, and said: "The matter of the airship ......"

Ludwig was stunned for a moment, and the Imperial officer next to him seemed to be speechless, which was not a good thing. After the two sides met, they didn't even have time to speak, so he didn't know the purpose of Zeppelin's opening at this time.

glanced at Wang Yi, then bowed down and said, "Mr. Chairman, I wonder if you can let me and the officer talk privately about returning to China?" ”

"Absolutely." Wang Yi knew that what they wanted to talk about was definitely not as simple as the issue of returning to China, and that was exactly what he wanted. If you don't make something for Europe, the Northeast will not have a good life in Africa.

A few days ago, Wang Yi set out from the northeast and arrived on Jeju Island, and the Northeast Intelligence Bureau sent information back from Africa. Cecil Rhodes, the finance minister of the Cape Colony, the head of the De Beer Mining Company, Wang Yi's biggest opponent of his policy in Africa, and after hearing that the northeast has obtained Zimbabwe's mining rights and territorial rights, people have also run away from Zimbabwe. Forcing the local king of Ndebele to grant the same rights was nothing, but the methods he used were basically the same as an armed invasion, a completely naked military threat.

To live, or to die.

The British rarely resorted to such drastic tactics, and military attacks seemed to be a last resort. However, this time Rhodes completely changed the way the British did things, and it seems that it was also stimulated by the strong expansion of the Northeast in southern Africa, and the means were more intense than ever. And the most unbearable thing for the Northeast Autonomous Region is that Rhodes actually used force to expel the Northeast businessmen who have begun to mine in Zimbabwe, no matter what their skin color is, whether it is worth it or not, and the Northeast will not show weakness at this time. With the killing of three black businessmen in northeastern Mozambique, the situation began to deteriorate dramatically!

The governor of Mozambique, Chen Xing'an, was not slow to react, and immediately protested to the British colonial government when he learned of the situation. Of course, unlike a certain protest department in later generations, Yan Fu, the commander-in-chief of the African region of the insurance team, who had a hatred of the British in the Opium War, was completely different from the image of a scholar familiar to Wang Yi in later generations, and he regarded the military provocation of the British as a great shame. On the same day, Mammoth and Pit Viper were ordered to take off and attack the British armed gang led by Rhodes, and at the same time, the army units of the insurance team began to enter Zimbabwe, and the only thing that did not move was the navy. If even the navy were to be dispatched, it would be a full-scale war. However, proper vigilance is still necessary.

Neither the Northeast nor Britain was prepared for war with each other, and Rhodes's military actions were more like a single-handed military adventure, about which the British proper, of course, knew nothing. But Britain is Britain after all, and Lao Tzu has been the first in the world for so many years, and it is only natural that he should make trouble first if he is justified or not. Besides, this is not a reasonable world at all, the British are like this, and the Northeast people are not far behind.

Lin Taixi walked to Wang Yi's side and looked at Han Xiujing who was standing aside, Lin Taixi smiled, indescribably cute. Han Xiujing is one year older than Lim Tae-hee, and she likes this sister very much, reached out and pinched her little face, and said with a smile: "Tae-hee is really getting more and more cute." ”

was pinched in the face, Lin Taixi instantly puffed up his bun face, hid beside Wang Yi, looked at Han Xiujing's hands, and expressed great vigilance.

"Alright, alright, don't make a fuss." Wang Yi smiled and said, "Xiujing, go and call Chu Yuan." ”

"Yes."

Not long after Chu Yuan arrived, Wang Yi ordered: "Let Yan Fu fight in Africa, but don't make too much fire, if necessary, let the pit viper go to the Cape Colony to go around a few times." Send my meaning back to Shengjing, Yang Qiuxing should know how to do it. ”

Wang Yi doesn't have too much to worry about Mozambique, where there are already nearly a million immigrants from the northeast, and in addition to the two divisions stationed before, there are two newly established local divisions. Although the combat power is not yet comparable to the local divisions, but the British! Even the Boers can't cope with it, and they dare to argue with the Northeast? Of course, it really made the British anxious, and transported hundreds of thousands of people from their homeland, which they did in the second war with the Boers in later generations.

"Sir, the British Embassy in Beijing has sent us a message saying that if the Northeast does not exercise restraint in Zimbabwe, they will let us know who is closer to Africa."

Wang Yi laughed after hearing this, with a mocking face.

"Okay, you can also help me send a telegram to the British Embassy, and tell them. If they don't recognize and respect our rights and interests in Zimbabwe and dare to do anything to our African colonies, I will also let them know who is closer to Myanmar and India. ”

As a high-level official, Wang Yi certainly can't say anything compromised, and as for easing the situation between the two sides, that's what the diplomats below should do. Wang Yi believed that the British were not stupid, and there was no big conflict between the two sides, but because of an African territory, there was no need to make a big move. Moreover, although Africa is rich in resources, its interests are not on the same level as India.

"Got it." Chu Yuan walked out of the room.

In another conference room on the same floor, Ludwig was talking to Zeppelin.

"Captain Ferdinand, please repeat to me the conversation between you and the chairman of the Dashang Group. It's best to be able to do it word for word. ”

"I'll do my best."

Zeppelin may have been a good inventor, but he was not an expert negotiator, and he knew a lot about the arts, so he could only reluctantly meet Ludwig's requirements.
