When Li Yongji left the banquet ahead of schedule, and the Chinese hostess, that is, the plenipotentiary envoy, became Gao Junjie, a white Chinese national, the atmosphere between the two sides not only did not become more harmonious, but became more and more tense.

It turned out that when Li Yongji was present, everyone could still maintain a little demeanor, but when Li Yongji left, Gao Junjie began to become stronger.

Gao Junjie didn't care that this was everyone's first meeting, and he didn't care that this was a reception, let alone ask the other party's intentions, but directly came to preemptively, and put forward his own requirements first in front of Alexander.

In Gao Junjie's mouth, he did not mention the matter of the New Orleans Concession at all, but put forward two demands:

First, the Federal States of the Southern Federation are required to hold a multi-party meeting between China, the Federal States of the North, and the Federal States of the South as soon as possible to discuss matters concerning an armistice between the United States and the United States, so as to avoid the loss of human life.

Second, China and the Federal States of the Southern Federation should further open up the scope of free trade, recognize each other's most-favored-nation status, and implement a policy of reciprocal tax exemption for agricultural and industrial products.

In order to express sincerity, it is hoped that the Federal States of the Southern Federation will send a plenipotentiary envoy as soon as possible to sign a formal treaty with the Chinese Government on these two items and to finalize these contents in the form of a treaty.

In addition to the formal demands between these two countries, Gao Junjie also has a demand for the Eastern Bloc, that is, to demand that the governments of the Federal States of the Southern States immediately stop dealing with the good friend of the Eastern Bloc, that is, Joseph. General Johnston's political persecution restored the other party's right to reputation and military leadership, and avoided further estrangement between the two sides, if not, all the consequences that would ensue. At the sole responsibility of the Union government!

If the first and second demands are somewhat reliable, then the so-called Eastern Bloc demand is to ask the Allied government to stop dealing with Joseph. Johnston's political persecution is purely a matter of interfering in the internal affairs of others.

Gao Junjie's tone is quite tough, with a threatening tone, giving people a sense of superiority. This makes Alexander. Stephens was rather displeased.

So, despite the initial policy of delay, in the face of this insult, Alexander . Stephens couldn't swallow this breath either, his face immediately turned cold, and he subconsciously followed the arguments, and his tone was full of cynicism.

As everyone knows, Alexander. Stephens's style just fell into the rhythm of Gao Junjie. Because only when the other party is angry, can he stop the previous situation of clouds and mountains and fog and really discuss the topic with himself.

After all, cynicism is also a kind of negotiation, as long as the content of everyone's conversation does not deviate from the topic, then no matter how fierce the quarrel is, there will be a result after all.

Of course, this is also because the Eastern Bloc represented by Gao Junjie, or the Chinese Empire behind it, is in a strong position. That's why he dared to use this method, if it was a different country. Or in another case, this trick may not work well, and it may backfire.

In any case, Gao Junjie, a white man who became a Chinese citizen, was able to get the conversation on the right track in such a short period of time, which alone shows that his ability is quite outstanding.

Of course. Li Yongji doesn't know about these situations for the time being, because what he wants to see most now is Soho, after all, Soho has been pregnant for a long time, if there is no accident. Production is also in the recent past.

Everyone knows that a woman's birth is a big thing, and in the case of underdeveloped medicine, especially without a caesarean section, it is not an exaggeration to say that a woman is breaking through the ghost door when she gives birth.

When Yin Susu gave birth before, Li Yongji was worried, especially when he finally gave birth, he almost had a difficult birth, which made Li Yongji quite worried.

Yin Susu gave birth to a child that time, and it was still accompanied by a bunch of experienced midwives, but Soho was not so good this time, after all, this is New Orleans in North America, surrounded by outsiders with ill intentions, and most of the really intimate ones are big soldiers, and even the midwives are temporarily transferred from China, and the number is limited, so most of Soho's children have to be carried by herself, and Yin Susu's production experience before is not necessarily applicable.

Although Li Yongji also prepared a lot of medicines, but without surgery, those drugs have little effect, and in the final analysis, it depends on Soho himself.

Because of this, Soho worked hard to exercise before, even during pregnancy, and insisted on aerobic exercise and a reasonable diet, just to enhance his physique and be able to have enough physical strength during childbirth.

Of course, although it is not possible to provide modern obstetricians, and there are not enough midwives as in China, it is still possible to get some birth manuals from the 21st century in advance, plus some medical equipment.

Booklets like some instructions for pregnant women, Li Yongji has long been sent to Soho, but those things are just a reference after all, in the current situation where there is only one option, natural birth, the success of childbirth still depends on the mother.

Therefore, it is precisely because he knows how difficult it is for women to have children in this era that Li Yongji attaches so much importance to Soho, which is not only a woman who cares for her children, but also a woman who cares for herself.

No matter how many shortcomings Li Yongji himself has, he has always been qualified to treat the women around him.

On the other hand, although Soho was very happy that Li Yongji threw away the negotiation envoy of the United States in the south and came to accompany him, but since she was pregnant with a dragon fetus and got Li Yongji's guarantee that she would be crowned the imperial concubine when she returned, Soho's mentality has actually changed a lot.

To put it simply, Soho thinks that his current status is different from the past, although he has not officially become a concubine, but according to the current situation, it is basically a certainty, eight to nine is not far from ten.

After understanding this, Soho's heart unconsciously changed a lot, and his interest in politics became more and more great, plus he knew that Li Yongji liked to be a good teacher, and he was the only person he was currently talking to, so after Soho saw Li Yongji coming over to accompany him, he didn't show a happy look at the first time, but persuaded him with a gesture of anger and joy.

"Your Majesty." Su He pursed his lips, and then shook his head gently, "There is nothing wrong with the concubine here, you should still focus on state affairs." ”

Speaking of which. Finding that Li Yongji didn't say anything, he was still lying on his stomach listening to the fetus's heartbeat, he couldn't help but smile and purse his lips, while reaching out and gently touching Li Yongji's hair, he said with a smile: "How many times have you listened to it, and you haven't heard enough?" ”

"Not enough, not enough. I can't get enough of it. Li Yongji looked up with a smile and said.

Indeed, this is his own child, of course, he can't hear enough of it, in fact, at this point, Li Yongji is very childish, when Yin Susu was pregnant, he also put down a lot of work at hand, and if there is nothing to do, he has to lie on the other party's belly and listen.

For this behavior of him. Although Soho has long been used to it, he still feels that his heart is full of joy, and he subconsciously said: "Then you can't throw the dignified negotiation envoy out of the house, no matter what, he is also a vice president." ”

"Vice President? Hmph, that's a fart, let me go to the reception, that's already self-surrendering. Li Yongji finally sat up again. He put his arm around Soho's shoulders again and chuckled softly. "Of course, if he loses his temper with me, I won't prevent me from talking to him a little longer, but this guy is clearly a master of messing around, not at all, and I am angry when I hear it. So I don't bother with it. ”

"Then you can't let a white man be our negotiating envoy." Soho continued, "That white man named Gao Junjie, how long has he only been with us, how dare you trust him so much? They're all white, what if he joins forces with the vice president to put us together?

Don't forget. That Gao Junjie is now our plenipotentiary negotiating envoy, and what he says is still effective, if the white man surnamed Gao agrees to many of the other party's conditions at will, even if we regret it afterwards, it will be quite unfavorable, at least not good for our reputation. ”

"Madame, you're so worried." Li Yongji smiled, "First of all, white people are different from white people, let's just say that Gao Junjie, he has now become a Chinese citizen, and his family career is also in China, which is already a proper Chinese, theoretically speaking, he is the real compatriot with us, but the skin color is different."

Secondly, Gao Junjie is a person with a strong sense of utilitarianism and fame and fortune, and he is a smart person, so people like him are the most reassuring to me. Why? Because what he wants is currently only available to me, and no one else can give it.

Therefore, for the sake of his ambition, he will definitely serve me with all his heart, at least until he is full, and he is definitely the most obedient dog.

In the end, Gao Junjie is a diplomat at best, or the informal kind, and the diplomatic relations between countries fundamentally depend on each other's strength.

At present, our strength is, at least on the surface, far superior to that of the other side, and our desire for him is relatively small, but they want a lot from us, that is to say, they are now begging us, and this unequal situation dooms the Southern Union country to be in a weak position in the negotiations.

In this case, as long as nothing special happens, our goal will be achieved, the difference is only the length of time to reach the agreement, and the amount of the agreement. ”

"Oh, that's right." Soho looked like he didn't understand, "Then according to Your Majesty's intentions, no matter how much the vice president talks about the lotus, the final result of the negotiation is doomed?" ”

"So to speak." Li Yongji smiled and nodded, "So, I didn't bother to talk to him, but I couldn't really give no face at all, so I sent a so-called negotiator to talk to him, and respect the other party on the surface."

After all, sometimes, even in the face of the weak, it is necessary to show respect appropriately, so that we can get more benefits and fame, which is a good thing, why not do it. ”

"If you really want to show respect, you should be there for you." Soho pouted.

"Hehe, I don't have that patience." Li Yongji said with a smile, "I let a white man talk to him, which is a kind of respect." Well, you don't know yet, the vice president of the Union State named Alexander, who looks personable on the surface, is actually a racist at heart, respecting white supremacy, in other words, in his mind, except for white people, all races are inferior. ”

"Huh? So hateful? Hearing this, Soho's eyes immediately widened in cooperation.

"Isn't it?" Li Yongji smiled and said, "This person is a bit interesting, before the Civil War, he once gave a pillar speech, vigorously advocating racism.

For example, he said, in the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. The idea that all men are created equal is a 'fundamental error', an 'infringement of natural law', and a 'quicksand' concept of statehood, which must be completely abandoned.

In order to glorify the Government of the Federal Republic of the South, he said that their new Government was based on the diametrically opposed idea, the foundation of which is the pillar of the Southern Government, which is derived from a great truth.

What is this great truth? To put it simply, it is the belief that are not equal to white people. To think that blacks are inherently inferior to whites in every way, and to give an equal, is to defile the law of nature. Therefore, slavery, subservience to the superior race, is the natural and moral situation of, not only good for whites, but also good for blacks, because blacks can only live better under slavery. Otherwise, it can only harm others and oneself.

In addition, he also believed that the American continent was fought hard by the whites, and the glory should belong to the descendants of the whites, and those blacks were just transported by slavery, and did not make much contribution to the founding of the country, so they naturally could not enjoy the same power as the whites, otherwise they would have tarnished the martyrs.

In a word. In that Alexander's mouth, white domination of North America was a matter of course. Negroes are inherently slaves and must not be treated in the same way as whites. ”

"This ......" Hearing Li Yongji say this, Soho frowned, "This Alexander is indeed arrogant, but what he seems to say is not unreasonable. Black ...... Well, I'm scared anyway. ”

"Hehe, black people, it's true that there are some differences in our aesthetics, and strictly speaking. Outsiders are only part of the reason for the miserable situation of black people today, and it is fundamentally their own internal cause. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yongji sighed: "Although that Alexander did not hide his words, there is one sentence that I still agree with, that is, natural selection, in this world, if you want to win the respect of others, you must have the ability to be respected."

Obviously, the human world has developed to this point, iron and fire are the mainstream, and in this era of global hegemony, if anyone lags behind, he can only be beaten passively.

Strictly speaking, I don't discriminate against black people, and in my heart, I also think that human beings should be equal, but who puts us in a cannibalistic society? Who has put us in an era of great powers?

In this era, it is like a jungle, everyone is a hunter, everyone is also a prey, only the really strong can become the top of the food chain, can become a predator, not a prey.

Obviously, the blacks were unlucky, or they themselves were too uncompetitive to develop a strong civilization ahead of time.

To put it bluntly, the weakness of blacks is their original sin, and the main theme of the current era is plundering and hegemony, so the misery of blacks is inevitable, because they are weak and prey, and they will naturally be plundered and hurt by stronger predators!

In fact, in the eyes of whites, we yellow people were not much stronger than blacks, and they were also weak, which was a delicacy in the mouths of Western powers. The reason why we changed this prejudice was because of our strong counterattack and letting them know that we were not easy to mess with, so we had to re-accept us, but in fact, we still don't regard us as noble people than whites, or think that we are inferior people who are a little better than blacks, and we are still worse than whites.

In short, racial prejudice is an inherent inferiority of human beings, and it cannot be eradicated, at least in the current era.

Therefore, since you live in this era, self-pity and self-pity, expecting the sympathy of others, it will not work, if you want to win the respect of others, you can only strive for self-improvement, and strive to be a strong person who devours others, and must not become a weak person who is devoured.

When you become the person at the top of the food chain, so that no one can beat you, and you can kill whoever you want, then you will naturally become an existence that everyone looks up to, and your nation is naturally the best nation.

And my wish is to make Chinese the top-level existence on this earth in my lifetime, and make China a real superpower. Of course, in this way, I, Li Yongji, can also take advantage of the situation to be the world hegemon and truly taste the taste of being the first person in the world. ”

After listening to Li Yongji's words, although there are many things in Soho that I still can't understand, I feel very powerful, especially when I see Li Yongji saying this, the whole spirit is completely different, and the whole glows with a radiant aura, so I naturally know what to do.

"Your Majesty is really different!" Soho stared at Li Yongji with shining eyes, "Becoming the world hegemon, such a grand cause, only His Majesty dares to think about it, and only dare to do it." The concubine believes that with His Majesty's ability, this wish will definitely come true! If the time comes for the concubine to see with his own eyes His Majesty's demeanor of guiding the country, then the concubine will have no regrets in this life. ”

"Hahaha, yes, yes, absolutely yes." Li Yongji happily patted Soho's shoulder, "Don't worry, there will be such a day, I promise!" (To be continued......)
