Chapter 446: See the Deputy Commander Again
Heinie's return to her parents' house is not a random trivial matter of a chicken on her left hand and a duck on her right hand.
The identity of the little princess of Weiyang Palace is also very important in the big league. Even if the Red Shield royal family is all Haynie's relatives, many diplomatic etiquette cannot be omitted.
Royal Dragon Plane No. 2, escorted by four "Raptors" of the Special Service Wing, landed at Meyer International Airport in Manila. Prince Haman and his wife arrived at the airport to welcome Concubine Hanlan, and also took his daughter and granddaughter home.
Named after Mayer Rothschild, the founder of the Red Shield family, Meyer Airport is located in the southern suburbs of Manila, about 20 kilometers from the Red Shield Palace.
Each member of the noble family is a special family, and three generations of grandparents share the same car. The Crown Princess of Judah, the Bavarian Lion Archduchess, snatched the Princess Tianning who was held by Lan Niu and kissed them endlessly, while Prince Haman and Haynie and their daughter chatted about business on the way back to the palace.
That's right, Hennie returned to her parents' home and had an important task on her shoulders.
The Empire did not explicitly reply to the request relayed by the White House to the Red Shield royal family in the hope of opening negotiations in North America.
The North American War was declared in the name of the Grand Alliance, although it was clear to everyone that the Grand Alliance did not conflict with the decisions of the Empire, and that the will of the Han Emperor was usually the final decision of the Grand Alliance. But of course, Zhong Yi will not give other countries a chance to criticize because of this incident, and the Washington government's proposal to negotiate with the empire alone is also a drunkard's intention not to drink, and there is a suspicion of beating rabbits with grass.
However, for the Empire, this is the best way to end the war on the premise of realizing the pre-war strategy. Whatever the ultimate goal of the White House, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.
Concubine Lan's return to her parents' home at this time was an indication that the Han Emperor agreed to the White House's request for an armistice, but such a message was not an official diplomatic channel of the Empire.
This leaves a lot of room for the subsequent operation of the empire, and the likes of lady diplomacy and sports diplomacy are not uncommon in international relations.
The White House, of course, is not very satisfied with the attitude of the Weiyang Palace. But "man is a sword, I am a fish and meat", and the initiative in the war is not in the hands of the Americans. Under pressure from Republican congressmen and even the Democratic Party, Truman was forced to agree to a series of unequal demands of the Han Empire, and sent the "North American Conflict Negotiation Group" to Manila to mediate with the Han "Special Affairs Group" on ending the North American war.
Major General Song Xue, deputy director of the chamberlain, was appointed head of the "special affairs group," and such a staffing arrangement made the US personnel very dissatisfied. You must know that the main interlocutors they sent were the high-level delegation headed by Deputy Secretary of State Hayerson, and Han Guo only sent a major general. Is it insulting?
Song Si resolutely responded to the anger of the Americans, "Deputy Secretary Haythami, first of all, please think about it. It was your White House administration that requested an armistice, otherwise, our imperial army in North America would have launched another round of fierce offensives. Secondly, similar to this kind of informal negotiation with a strong personal nature, my Han Imperial Family's Weiyang Palace Attendant Office can completely share His Majesty's worries, if you think that the identity of the deputy director of my attendant room is not enough, then you can only invite our attendant room director......"
Song Xue stroked the ends of her drooping hair and smiled softly, "The director of our chamberlain has always been the eldest princess, if you feel the need, I can call now to ask for instructions...... Or, our little princess is in Manila......"
A sentence was inserted into Haytham's heart like a sharp knife, and he quietly glanced at Prince Haman, who was sitting at the top of the square table, and sure enough, when it came to the princess and daughter, the handsome old Jewish man was already sinking like water, and there were signs of madness.
Haytham didn't dare to slack off any longer, and said repeatedly: "No problem, Major General Song is the ambassador for negotiations, of course there is no problem." How could it be possible to trouble the two royal highnesses! ”
Damn, I have to admit it, if I provoke the kingdom of Judah again, I am afraid that I will not even find a country that is willing to be a peacemaker between Han and the United States. It's Judas, and if it weren't for the fact that there are still many rich Jews in the United States, I'm afraid it would be very difficult to achieve.
knew that the Red Shield royal family and the Han Emperor were actually a family, but they still had to stretch out their heads to be slaughtered. Thinking about the current situation of the United States, Haytham sat down silently. Without talking about losing momentum first, the White House wants a decent exit result, and it will not be too easy to think of it.
The ensuing negotiations turned out to be as Haytham had predicted, with Song insisting that the White House must first issue a statement recognizing the legitimacy of the Kingdom of India and the Democratic Republic of America, and then a multinational group should participate in determining the national boundary between the three countries. This was the precursor to the Empire's agreement to the North American armistice.
And it's the final bottom line, a fixed price, not negotiable.
"It's not discussed, so it's a fart?" Looking at the beautiful young female major general across the table, Haython, who is also a diplomatic veteran, was almost vomited blood. If it weren't for the task that Truman "had to reach a preliminary intention," he would have wanted to walk away. Such a scene, how can it be a diplomatic negotiation, this is clearly a bow of the head and begging for mercy.
Defeat on the battlefield and strategic disadvantage have humiliated the dignity of the United States of America. Weak countries have no diplomacy, and Hayson suddenly remembered the helplessness and shame of Li Zhongtang of the Qing Dynasty before and after the Opium War.
Staring at the contradictory combination of fangs and fiery red lips on the opposite side, His Excellency the Deputy Secretary of State leaned back in his chair weakly, "When did the yellow-skinned pig with a long discerning son become so strong, and when did the white people need to look at the eyes of the Han people?" ”
Seeing that the two sides at the negotiation table had entered a stalemate, Prince Haman, as the intermediary, remembered his role as a peacemaker, "What, why don't we rest first, our Red Shield Royal Family has carefully prepared a luncheon for all the guests who come from afar, let's eat and drink well, and then talk at noon!" ”
It is said that Prince Haman's Chinese was originally learned from the Chinese immigrants in the port, and among those immigrants, there were many peasants and industrial workers, and it was inevitable that they would speak more vulgarly.
Haytham and his group couldn't understand Chinese, so it didn't matter if they relied on a translator, but Song Xue and the rest of the attendant room who accompanied him were a little amused when they heard it. These market words, from the mouth of the noble Prince Haman, are not interesting.
Putting aside the prevarication of the two people in Manila, Zhang Houqun in San Francisco and Li Jinshi in Houston have already entered the late stage of rehearsal.
Yes, it's a rehearsal! In the eyes of Chen Shukang, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, these are two farces not far away, and their plot excitement is far from Forbes' blockbuster.
It is said that since Garbo was received by Director Mu into the Golden House, and that Marilyn was sent to the cold palace because of His Majesty's words, the third sequel to "Australian Troubled Times" has never been believed!
General Chen Shukang still has this leisure to think about a blockbuster, but for Marshall, the chief of the US Army General Staff who has been out of the mountains for the second time, these days are really too difficult.
Before the news of the peace talks was released, the Allies launched the Battle of Baton Rouge and the Battle of Bo Zhixi. The Youzhou Army commanded by Wang Tiehan and the Guards Panzer Corps commanded by Ji Youqian captured Baton Rouge City on the east bank of the Mississippi River and most of Idaho respectively.
The Youzhou Legion besieged New Orleans, the capital of Louisiana, and the Toei Fleet, headed by the battleship Yamato, launched a brutal landing in the Juan de Fuca Strait on the border between the United States and Canada -- bullying the US army that there was no navy on the west coast, the Japanese simply bombarded Seattle and Tacoma all the way with the main guns of the battleships, and it was a foregone conclusion that Washington State would fall into the hands of the Allies.
But without Washington State, Oregon will face the situation of being encircled, and the U.S. troops in Portland who resisted the attack of the Toei troops commanded by Ishigaki Waner are about to be copied by Ji Youqian's Guards Half-Armor Army.
Marshall Sr. had not slept for several days because of the erosion of the war situation, but he couldn't figure it out. The enemy is fighting more and more, but the territory that the US military can control is getting smaller and smaller. With no hope on the West Coast, is there hope for Louisiana, which has broken through the defense line on the Mississippi River? Even, the entire Gulf of Mexico will be in danger.
When the war came to this, Marshall was convinced that he had not lost faith and that he could command the American army to retake the lost land. But how many people in the entire United States of America still have such faith?
President? Or those so-called think tanks in the White House? The news of the peace talks and the founding of the country in the west and south made Marshall Sr. have a few more long lines on his thin face. As the supreme commander of the Army, he has lost most of his voice in the White House, and he can only do his part to accelerate the adjustment of the deployment of the US military before the president dismisses him, in the hope of winning a more favorable strategic posture before the next battle.
The opposite was his former subordinate, Dwight Eisenhower, whom he regarded as a betrayer. The Allied offensive in the south also allowed the Workers' Party to develop faster and greater.
After the Battle of Barutunri, the US troops led by the Workers' Party had reached 30 divisions and nearly 500,000 men. Eisenhower, who was nominally deputy commander-in-chief but in fact the supreme commander of the Workers' Party's armed forces, was now in high spirits. Commanding more than half a million troops, the last time was before the Allies were chased and beaten on the island of Great Britain. And this time, he was the winner.
"Uncle Sam" has made it clear that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Eisenhower will be his successor, the deputy commander of the Workers' Party, and the most important figure in the continuation of socialism in North America.
This evaluation, or this status, pleased the ambitious Eisenhower. Of course, the premise is that Emperor Han Zhongyi will not suddenly become interested and inform him that the general deputy commander will not end well!
