The group came out of Clemenceau's villa in a rage, and the door closed after getting into the car, Xiao Zhenlei's original tense and gloomy moment became sunny, and he smiled and instructed the secretary Xiao Gao: "Xiao Gao, after you go back, inform everyone to pack up and prepare to leave tomorrow!" ”

When Xiao Gao heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Eh, president, we really won't open this meeting?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei waved his hand: "You just do what I say, don't ask so much!" ”

"Yes, President!" Xiao Gao hurriedly agreed.

But it was said that in Clemenceau's villa, Clemenceau heard the sound of the car starting at the door and gradually drifted away, an old face suddenly collapsed, and a staff member came over and said to Clemenceau: "Mr. Prime Minister, the convoy of the President of China has left without the slightest sign of staying!" ”

Clemenceau's face became even more ugly after hearing this, and he said angrily to British Prime Minister George, who was still stunned: "Okay, George, this is your wish, do you know that your request for President Xiao to sign some bullshit agreement just now is too much, who can stand this kind of insult?" This time it's over, not only did we come to Cairo in vain, but we didn't know that Xiao Zhenlei would send someone to secretly contact the Germans in a fit of anger after he returned, and then make peace with Germany alone, if China just withdrew from the war, it would be fine, and if China joined the Allies, what do you think would be the consequences? Do you really think that the British Isles are in the middle of the sea, and that there is no way to deal with you with the Allied Powers that China has joined? Forget it, this time my old man is going to be killed by you, please go back, I'm going to rest! ”

That's when George came to his senses. After listening to Clemenceau's words, he smiled and said, "Mr. Clemenceau. Don't worry, things aren't going anywhere yet. You don't have to worry about leaving directly after Xiao Zhenlei leaves, I will take full responsibility for this matter, I will leave first! ”

After returning to the villa, George immediately sent people to keep an eye on the villa where the Chinese delegates were staying, so that the people who were watching could report the situation at any time. He didn't know if Xiao Zhenlei was really angry and ready to break up, or if he was cheating him, at that time he knew that he couldn't be in a hurry now, and he couldn't mess up.

Robertson, Chief of Staff, walked into George's room and asked, "Mr. Prime Minister, what are you going to do?" Have you ever done this? You made the president of China angry. Shall we let the British deal with the Germans? Oh God, I think you're crazy! ”

George was rather displeased: "You're crazy, please don't talk to me in this tone, okay?" I'm your prime minister after all! You should believe me, I will never do anything detrimental to the interests of the British Empire. Let's wait, if they haven't left before two o'clock in the afternoon, it means that Xiao Zhenlei is cheating, and he wants to force me to comply! ”

Robertson looked at George with a look of contempt and said, "Then what if they really leave in the afternoon?" ”

George asked rhetorically, "Can't we just chase him back?" Robertson. You are a soldier, you don't understand political negotiation, in fact, political negotiation and business negotiation are similar, that is, in the negotiation process, you must constantly play tricks to test the bottom line of the other party's psychological price! ”

Robertson shrugged his shoulders when he heard this: "Okay." You can always name a lot of reasons, you can say that you are alive and that you are alive, and that you are alive. I hope you would do well to seize this opportunity, as Prime Minister Clemenceau said. If this incident leads to a unilateral peace between China and Germany, you will not be able to afford all the consequences. Even though you are the Prime Minister! ”

???????

After Xiao Zhenlei and the others returned to the villa where they were staying, the secretary Xiao Gao immediately notified the other accompanying officials and staff to pack up their documents, salute and other belongings and prepare to leave Cairo for Alexandria, where the escort fleet was anchored.

"What the hell is going on? Isn't this going to be done yet? Why do you have to leave before you reach an agreement, what happened? Wang Yanan, who was wearing a flowered cheongsam, walked over with high heels and asked.

Xiao Zhenlei sat down and waved his hand and said: "It's okay, that old guy George wants to force me to sign an agreement on the unconditional withdrawal of the Chinese army from Europe after the war, we have no intention of staying in Europe after the war, but the old guy George doesn't believe me, and insists on forcing me to sign this bullshit agreement. This is not only an insult to me, but more importantly an insult to the dignity of my country, the more he wants to do this, after the war, I still have to order the army to stay on the road, their European powers always meddle in our Far Eastern affairs, can't our country in China meddle in European affairs? The best defense is offense, and these European powers will not have the energy to meddle in the affairs of the Far East until we reach out to Europe! ”

Wang Yanan frowned when she heard this, and said, "Are we really leaving, isn't this meeting Huang?" How will we get along with Britain and France in the future? Is this battle still going to be fought? How to fight? If the Entente is scattered and cannot be twisted into a rope, it will be very difficult to defeat the Allies! ”

Xiao Zhenlei picked up the half of the cigar on the ashtray on the coffee table, lit it with a lighter and smoked it, Wang Yanan knew that her husband was thinking about weighing this matter when she saw this, she walked to the sofa next to her and sat down and waited.

There was a burst of smoke, and Xiao Zhenlei said: "Until now, we have a choice, so we must be prepared for both. If the British insist on going their own way and want to use our soldiers as cannon fodder, but they don't believe us, then we have nothing to say, and immediately send people to secretly contact the Germans after we go back, and unilaterally reach an agreement with Germany, we just need to keep our current vested interests, and we must also help Germany defeat Britain as quickly as possible before the Americans intervene in the war, as long as Britain and France surrender, even if the United States wants to intervene, it alone will not want to win, although its position is special, But if we and Germany attack from both sides of the Pacific and the Atlantic, the United States will surely lose. The Americans are now isolationist, and they will not easily make up their minds to go to war if they do not see hope!

If the British are interested, we will continue to talk to the British, as long as the British give in, everything will be easy to say, and I don't want to be like the Italians who blow on both sides of the wall. Either way, this reputation is not good. We should take the lead in establishing a good image for the people, and integrity, tenacity, forbearance, modesty, and prudence have always been the traditions of our culture. Destroying these fine traditions is easy to be criticized by others, and it is not conducive to the people regaining their national self-confidence and pride!

If the British do not compromise and for our own interests, then we have no choice but to help the Germans deal with the British, and the French and other members of the Entente will be buried together, and as for Japan, it is just cannon fodder, and the Germans are for victory. It can only be sacrificed".

Wang Yanan nodded when he heard this, "According to what you say, what will happen in the future, it is still full of variables?" ”

"Of course, but the final outcome of this war will be decided today and tomorrow, and it will all depend on how the British choose, and if George chooses to compromise, then we will still be on the side of the Entente, and if the British will not compromise. Then there is nothing to say, the British brought about their own demise, and we have no choice! ”

Wang Yanan was a little unconvinced, "Listen to what you say." The victory or defeat of this war is only in your thoughts, do we have such a big effect? Germany has deployed more than two million troops in France and cannot penetrate the English Channel, so can we join the Central Powers and cross the English Channel? Did the British surrender? Besides, Britain still has three million troops on its own soil. There were still 2 million British, French, and Italian troops in Italy, and 2.5 million troops in Tsarist Russia on the Eastern Front. If we join the Allies, Germany will have 6.4 million, Austria-Hungary will have 2 million, and we will have 3.5 million, and we will only be able to transfer to Europe at most 2 million, a total of 11 million, which is not much more than Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and other Entente countries. ”

Xiao Zhenlei shook his head and said: "The strength of the war and the probability of victory and defeat are not calculated by you, now it seems that the total strength of the Entente is about more than 7.5 million, but in fact, France and Tsarist Russia will not play any role, I dare to assert that Tsarist Russia will change the world in the next month, Tsarist Russia's military strength will be like a decoration, remove 2.5 million people, the Italian army is purely a soy sauce role, they can fight a tailwind battle, let them take the initiative to attack the German-Austrian coalition army, basically did not win, Moreover, the Alps are a natural barrier, and it is difficult for the British, French and Italian forces to reach the territory of Austria-Hungary, but it is not so easy for the German-Austrian forces to enter Italy again.

France was completely occupied by Germany, although it still had some troops in Britain and other overseas colonies, but it did not play a very big role, the Entente mainly relied on Britain to support, and the English Channel was an insurmountable moat for the German army, because the German navy was not as strong as Britain, and although the air force suppressed the British Air Force, it could not obtain absolute air supremacy, which was of little help to the sea-crossing operation, but it would be completely different if our country joined, China can provide more than 3,000 warplanes to help Germany gain absolute air supremacy, even if the British naval fleet is twice as powerful, it is useless, as long as the German army lands on the British mainland, Britain will undoubtedly be defeated, and must surrender, it is a small island, even if it has colonies overseas, can the British king, royal family, and officials escape the pursuit and bombing of the aircraft group? If they don't want to die, they can only surrender! As long as Britain is dealt with, as for the French government-in-exile, Italy and other Entente countries, it is basically not a problem! ”

All the items such as the salute have already been loaded into the car, and they can leave after Xiao Zhenlei and the others have lunch. At one o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Zhenlei and others, who had had lunch, got into the car one after another, and the convoy drove along the street to the outside of the city. Soon after leaving the city, British Prime Minister George, who got the news, panicked, and he immediately chased after him by car, and did not catch up with Xiao Zhenlei's motorcade until three hours later.

George compromised, knowing very well that the Entente could not afford to lose China, otherwise it would be doomed. Subsequently, China, Britain and France reached an agreement to put the main direction of attack on the Western Front, and China sent 1,000 fighters to help Britain regain air supremacy, and then launched a landing and beach operation from the English Channel to the west coast of France.
