Chapter 231 231 The first stage of the event passed, and the author came back to update

As soon as the British ambassador and his entourage entered the hall prepared for the talks, they were first stunned, and everyone's eyes were staring directly at Lin Youde's shoulder, facing the person he had never seen before, that is, the ambassador and his entourage.

"What a child can achieve in the future depends largely on the early education she receives, so please allow my daughter to observe this meeting," said Lin seriously. ”

Probably in this world, Lin Youde can say such things on such an occasion, not because he is thick-skinned, but because his identity as a traverser gives him a kind of cognition that "Lao Tzu is a man who is favored by the outsider, he can play as much as he wants". It's the same as playing some sandbox games like Old Man Scroll, and you can't wait to find NPCs everywhere to get in trouble after adjusting the values.

Lin Youde originally wanted to get rid of this problem, but in the past two years, he not only did not suffer because of this, but was evaluated by the social community as informal, and then regarded this behavior as Lin Youde's own style of acting, and more and more young gentlemen followed his example and began to be so "informal".

Lin Youde simply didn't change it.

Although the British ambassador hesitated, he still pinched his nose and confessed, he withdrew his gaze from Miss Lin Jiaer, and led his entourage to sit on the other side of the negotiation table.

As soon as the ambassador sat down, the coldness of the stool had not been dispelled by the body temperature, and Lin Youde opened his mouth and went straight to the point: "Mr. Ambassador, you are here today for the affairs of the Ottoman Empire, right?" If I'm not mistaken, you want us to side with the British in the impending Crimean War and help the Aegean coalition fend off the Russian and Romanian offensives, right? ”

"You always like to get straight to the point." The British ambassador said to Lin Youde with a smile that contained elements of politeness and helplessness.

But at this time, Lin Youde continued: "The best outcome is that Germany declares war on Russia, and the two fight in the Balkans, and in the worst case you have to guarantee our neutrality and persuade us as much as possible not to export weapons to Russia, right?" ”

The ambassador's smile froze.

At this time, Lin Youde grinned: "It seems that my wife's newly formed intelligence agency is quite capable." ”

The British ambassador looked down at the memo he had just placed on the table, and his expression was very complicated.

Lin Youde picked up the soft biscuits from the plate in front of him with a smug expression and fed them to the little guy on his shoulder, and only after the little guy had swallowed the biscuits almost before he turned his gaze back to the British ambassador who was stunned and a little at a loss.

"I know your expectations and your bottom line, and of course, I know exactly what you can offer us in exchange. I don't like complicated bargaining, so I'll just say we can give you a promise. Lin Youde paused and sold enough before continuing, "During the war, not a single Wehrmacht soldier, or Hungarian Wehrmacht soldier, will appear in front of the Russians. ”

The ambassador's lips pursed tightly, and it seemed that he had decided that this negotiation could only be aimed at achieving the minimum goal.

But Lin Youde added: "The actions of the Ottoman Empire – no, now the Republic of Turkey, the Provisional Government of the Republic – have constituted a violation of human dignity, and we will not sit idly by and watch this kind of behavior continue to spread, and we will not sit idly by and watch our neighbors massacre innocent people on a large scale and indiscriminately, just because of their faith, or their nation." ”

The British ambassador's face turned green directly, because Lin Youde's words sounded like he was going to jointly send troops with Russia to interfere in Turkey's internal affairs!

"Mr. Lin!"

As soon as the ambassador spoke, Lin Youde raised his right hand to stop him: "Don't be nervous, Mr. Ambassador, I am good friends with Her Royal Highness the Queen of England, so I also hope that Britain and Germany can get along amicably, and they will not meet each other like in the last war." Moreover, we also cannot accept the wanton looting of non-Slavic ethnic groups by Russian troops after entering the territory of the former Ottoman Empire. Therefore, we will send an international column of pan-humanists from all over the world to enter the territory of the Republic of Turkey to protect the local population and stop the ****** actions of the Turkish government and the Russian invading army. ”

Lin Youde paused after speaking, and then solemnly changed his words: "I mean, to stop the ****** actions of the Turkish government and the Pan-Slavic Self-Defense Army. ”

In order to avoid diplomatic trouble, the Russians called the Russian troops entering Turkey the Pan-Slavic Self-Defense Army, and they did not use the flag and emblem of the Russian army, but held high the Orthodox cross as their own military flag, and all of them were so-called "volunteers who spontaneously helped the Slavic brothers". Not only that, but the Russian army also organized the Slavs in Turkey and organized them into local troops to join the self-defense forces as a cover.

This practice is actually not uncommon, the original time and space Spanish Civil War is almost like this, and later there was a more famous Korean War, two great powers, one held high the banner of the volunteer army, and the other claimed to be a joint ****, fighting on the peninsula in the Far East, killing and wounding each other, and the number of prisoners was hundreds of thousands, but the two powers never entered a state of war between them.

In fact, there is nothing strange about this, whenever the two countries are jealous of each other's war potential and do not want to completely tear off their skins, and have to use some more radical means to fight for their own interests, this kind of thing will happen when the two countries put on a layer of skin and fight each other.

The Russians put on the skin of the Slavic self-defense army, which is tantamount to telling the British: we have fought well in Turkey. According to the information that Lin Youde had, Britain was not willing to start a full-scale war with Russia at this time. So the British accepted the Russians' offer with peace of mind, and now their parliament was arguing over what to do with the Russians.

Lin Youde knows all about this, Britain was originally the target of the NERV intelligence department in the Herbert era, and after the fox took over the intelligence work, the first thing to resume was the infiltration and surveillance of the UK.

After the rectification of the fox, the efficiency of the intelligence bureau has obviously improved a lot, and even directly copied a copy of the memorandum prepared by the ambassador for this meeting and handed it to Lin Youde, so that Lin Youde now has an advantage.

Lin Youde's words just now made the British ambassador fall into deep thought, and he obviously realized that Lin Youde had just provided the British Empire with an excellent "skin" for war with the Russians, as long as the British army also raised the banner of protecting the local civilians and stopping atrocities, and participated in the war as part of the international column, then the problem that was now being debated in parliament would be solved.

But the ambassador looked at Lin Youde's gaze and was still suspicious.

"Mr. Lin, there's one thing I don't understand." After the ambassador finished speaking, he choked his words and looked at Lin Youde.

Lin Youde smiled at the ambassador and made a gesture of please: "You just say." ”

"Well, Mr. Lin, what I don't understand is that throughout the Ottoman crisis, you have behaved ......," the ambassador pondered his words, "and he has been too 'high', and every country and force that has put its hand into the crisis has a very obvious desire, and you have not claimed either the land of Ottoman Turkey nor the rights within this country. Mr. Lin, there are some things that you may despise when you say them, but, with all due respect, we really have a hard time trusting a collaborator like you, who is too desireless. ”

Lin Youde smiled even brighter, and when his daughter saw her father smiling so brightly, she also let out a haha laugh.

After laughing, Lin Youde took a soft biscuit and stuffed it to his daughter, and then stared at the ambassador's face: "I won't despise you, because I know this truth very well." If there is a clear purpose, then it is easy to determine whether the two sides have common interests, and if there are common interests, they can talk about cooperation. And people who don't show purpose always give people the feeling that they have other plans, which makes people have to be on guard. However, rest assured, Mr. Ambassador, I certainly have my purpose. ”

Lin Youde leaned over the table, and his right arm was pressed against the table.

"I think you are well aware, Mr. Ambassador, that before the start of the last war, the German Empire and the Ottoman Empire entered into a cooperation agreement, according to which the German Empire built a railway from Berlin to Istanbul. Shortly after the railway's completion, Germany reached a new agreement with the Ottoman Empire that would extend from Istanbul to Basra on the shores of the Persian Gulf. ”

The British ambassador had a serious expression, and of course he knew that the railway was being planned, because it touched the sensitive nerves of the British Empire, and one of the purposes of the war between the British Empire and Germany in the last war was to prevent the completion of the railway. In the eyes of the British Empire, Germany's expansion into the Indian Ocean was a dangerous signal, which meant that in the future, the German Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet would easily receive direct supplies from Germany in Basra, and its strength would be greatly enhanced. At the same time, Germany's economic power will also penetrate into the Middle East with the completion of this railway, and then threaten the crown's brightest jewel - India.

Lin Youde stared at the ambassador's face, obviously the ambassador's expression made him very satisfied, he continued: "If we don't raise the flag of the international column, Britain can only rely on your friends around the Aegean Sea to stop the Russian army, and the appearance of the Black Sea Fleet in the Mediterranean Sea will become an established fact." In contrast, the largest ship of the German Navy is now only 10,000 tons, and there is not a single stronghold left around the Indian Ocean. I think Her Majesty the Queen and her loyal and wise courtiers will make a wise choice. ”

The ambassador pursed his lips and was silent for a long time before sighing: "This is indeed beyond the scope of my answer, I will go back and use the magic guide communication to inform Her Majesty the Queen and the heads of the cabinet." ”

"I'm waiting for your good news." After Lin Youde finished speaking, he made a gesture to see off the guest.
