In the venue, after glancing at Li Liang and his entourage, who didn't even look at themselves in the distance, the Portuguese frowned slightly, and then looked at the British who were standing not far away.

"Your Excellency, is it really okay to do this? The Chinese look like they're annoyed..."

"Don't worry..."Also looking at Li Liang and his party, who were not looking back, Balfour smiled slightly. There won't be anything, and even if there is, Chinese will come to us first, not yours......... The Chinese are not blind in their eyes, and they will not really think that this matter is actually your decision..."

"Hmm—" the Portuguese nodded, saying so, but there was no relief on the Portuguese face.

Over time, meetings were also unfolded.

On the Far Eastern Peace Treaty, which is likely to determine peace in the entire Far East for a long time. Both the government of the Republic of China and the governments of Japan and the United States have expressed great concern, and it is for this reason that these countries are fighting for every inch of land in this treaty, even the slightest detail.

Of course, the object of the dispute is certainly not only the Nationalist government, but also the Japanese, the Americans, the British, basically as long as they have interests in the Far East, almost all of them are entangled...

It is not surprising that since it is called the "Far Eastern Peace Treaty", the entire agreement is naturally intended to cover the entire Far East. In the Far East, China is obviously not the only country that is likely to cause trouble, and it should be said that China is only the one that is most likely to cause trouble among all countries.

The reason is simple. This is because there are many contradictions between countries.

For example, China and Japan have a very big contradiction on the Korean Peninsula. Of course, this time we need to look for examples after excluding China. So this one is gone.

In addition to China and Japan, Britain and France also had contradictions on the Indochina Peninsula. It's just that this contradiction is not very big, especially since the British and the French have cleverly chosen a way to avoid exacerbating this contradiction.

The solution was to leave Thailand behind when colonizing the entire Indochina Peninsula.

In this way, whether it is Burma and other areas controlled by the British. It is still the French Indochina region, which is controlled by the French, and because of the buffer of Thailand, there is no possibility of contact. And as long as there is no contact. There's no chance of friction...

Although in some ways this is just a theory, it does work very well.

If you exclude the fact that the British and French always feel like they are in the Thais―――――― but it is the Thais who are uncomfortable anyway. So the British and the French don't have any opinions at all~

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Except for the British and French. The Americans, the Japanese, and the Dutch, basically all of these countries have some bit of contradiction in the Far East. If this were not the case, there would have been no need for the Four-Power Treaty...

Therefore, as mentioned earlier, the reason why the whole conference seems to be aimed at China is only because China's rise is too sudden, and because of its size and the process of making a fortune, it is relatively easy for people to regard China as the country most likely to provoke conflict.

However, since the Washington Conference was intended as a meeting to inherit and make up for the problems of the Versailles Peace Conference, the whole conference would inevitably be worldwide. There is no such thing as a situation that is purely country-specific. At least it doesn't look particularly explicit...

But it is precisely because there are so many countries involved that the whole meeting will be particularly difficult.

One could even say. This meeting was the most difficult of the four meetings of the entire Washington Conference. After all, the first "Quad Meeting" only involved four countries, and the whole meeting was only about those islands in the Pacific Ocean, so the four countries mentioned above, well, if you exclude the French who played soy sauce, are three countries.

In fact, after excluding France, which is playing soy sauce, it is easy for the three countries mentioned above to make concessions to each other on this issue, so as to ensure the smooth flow of the meeting. After all, the interests involved in the whole meeting are not very large, at least not the core interests of the above-mentioned countries.

As for the second meeting, the Washington Naval Treaty, it was a bit troublesome, but it was actually a very simple one. Because there is only one core of the whole meeting, and that is to rate the six strongest naval countries in existence, and then it is enough to proceed according to the score.

And because the number of participating countries is very small, only six countries in Britain, the United States, France, Italy, China and Japan, it is relatively simple.

In fact, in the whole meeting, it is because of the emergence of such a variable as China, that it will be more complicated.

Otherwise, there were only two things that were most likely to be argued in the whole meeting, one was the two Nagato-class battleships that the Japanese were working on but had not yet completed, and the Colorado-class battleships of the Americans

As for the defense treaty against the Soviet Union, this is even simpler, after all, this thing does not involve too many interests, and some are just a common defense against Soviet Russia, which is in line with the interests of all countries, naturally there is nothing bad about it, and the only thing that is slightly controversial is only on the measures to deal with Turkey.

Although the method proposed by Li Liang at the beginning did not go through to guò after discussion in various countries, one thing is still certain, that is, if it were not for the Greek government to play a greater role in this war against Turkey, and at the same time to achieve the maximum benefits, and at the same time to trample the feud of Turkey under the feet forever, I am afraid that the war against Turkey would have ended, and the dawn of peace would have shone on the entire Asian continent...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It is for these reasons that the Far Eastern Peace Treaty is the most complex of the four. Because this treaty involves the largest number of countries and covers the widest range of regions, almost every country has the slightest small contradiction between countries. And they are fighting each other like that...

That's a big problem!

During the meeting, there were many contacts between the National Government and the Portuguese Government.

The only purpose of the contacts is to hope that the Portuguese government will change its mind and change its current attitude.

It's a pity that the Nationalist government failed.

Among the contacts of the National Socialist Party, the attitude of the Portuguese government changed dramatically, and the original attitude of wanting to return Macau to China was certainly gone.

If you have to say it. It was as if the Portuguese government had changed its mind, and the change in attitude was somewhat surprising.

Naturally, the national government is well aware of the reasons for this.

Briton...

The reason why the Portuguese have undergone such a big turnaround. One of the most fundamental reasons for this is because of the British. If it were not for the British's obstruction, the Portuguese would never have treated the Communist government with such a slightly cold attitude―――――― although in general strength the Communist government was not as good as the British and the United States, but on one side. There is absolutely no problem with France and Italy.

In other words. If it weren't for the fact that Portugal was located in Europe, and the Commune government had too much to do with the destruction of Europe, it would have been no problem to destroy Portugal in minutes...

Of course, the reason why the Portuguese dared to change their attitude also had a lot to do with it―――――― but the biggest reason was probably because of the support of the British. Coupled with the fact that the Portuguese themselves don't particularly want to return Macau, this will naturally happen...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

However, even the British have their backing. But such a tough rejection of the Chinese's demands, the Portuguese are still a little apprehensive after all. After all, Portugal is no longer the Portugal it used to be.

At that time, Portugal was a very developed seafaring country, and even considered sharing the whole world with other countries.

But now Portugal no longer has the strength of that year, and even among many European countries, Portugal's strength is not very good...

At least, if you want to find countries in Europe that are stronger than Portugal, you can find ten. For example, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Russia, Germany, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, in addition to Finland, Poland, and the undivided Spain and Austria, I don't know how big a gap there will be compared with Portugal in terms of overall strength...

It is precisely because Portugal is not as good as before that it is now, so it directly rejected China, and the Portuguese people are a little apprehensive after all.

Fortunately, the British also made it clear that the Chinese already knew who was behind the matter. Then even if something happens in the future, even if the Chinese come to the door, they can carry the matter down!

Of course, one of the reasons why the British are so generous is also because they are not worried that the Chinese will come to the door, or what trouble they can find ...

"Trouble?"

After smiling slightly, and glancing at Li Liang and them, Balfour turned his head and left the venue.

Even though the glory of the British Empire seemed a little dimmed now, Balfour still did not feel that these Orientals were capable of challenging the authority of the Empire.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Trouble?"

Lowering his head and groaning for a while, Liu Guangyuan raised his head and looked at Yan Shaodao. "Do you want us to stir up something in Southeast Asia and give the British some color to see? For example, in Burma, there are quite a few resistance groups there, and we can let the resistance groups there make some fun..."

"And then the resistance was wiped out by the British!" Angrily glanced at Liu Guangyuan, Yan Shao vetoed. "If the British dare to incite the Portuguese there to reject us, they will certainly prevent us from doing so, according to the information provided by the Special Service. At the time when they were instigating the Portuguese to reject us, they had raised the security of all the colonies in Asia, and now we let the resistance groups take action. It can almost be said that it is in the hands of the British, and it is just sent to the door, which is absolutely not feasible..."

Sitting next to him, Lu Zhengxiang also nodded. "Yes, although this is not a big diplomatic problem, if the British are really prepared, then it will still bring a lot of problems..."

I heard that Yan Shao and Lu Zhengxiang both said no. Liu Guangyuan couldn't help frowning and asked. "So what to do? After all, we don't have a lot of contact with the British, even if we want to give them some color......... Outside of Southeast Asia, there doesn't seem to be much to use..."

Heard Liu Guangyuan say this. Everyone else also bowed their heads and frowned, feeling that what Liu Guangyuan said made sense.

The reason why the British are so fearless has a lot to do with this.

Yes, there are indeed quite a few resistance elements in Southeast Asia today. Many of them are funded by the national government. Some are even simply after the Kuomintang government has drawn elites from the military. The weapons and equipment used by these troops were even provided by the Commune government, which shows how deeply involved the Commune government is.

Of course, the British will not be unaware of this, but the British will not be able to grasp the handle of the national government.

Moreover, while the Nationalist government was doing this, the British were not doing this?

How many of the rebel groups in Tibet were backed by the British?

It can only be said that each other is not clean, so there is no need for this kind of thing to be on the table.

However, although there are many rebel groups in Myanmar and other places. But after all, there was still no way to compare with the British troops stationed there, so the rebellion against the British was never successful. And the strength is also a little worse than the British.

Even the most elite of the Resistance were only slightly stronger than some of the local colonial forces.

This time the British instigated the Portuguese to oppose the Communist, of course, it is not possible that the Nationalist government might not have thought that the Nationalist government might do something in Southeast Asia, such as Burma, and in fact, this is the most likely thing for the Nationalist government to do. Therefore, according to the intelligence of the Special Intelligence, the British had already prepared for the beginning of the resistance, and as soon as the resistance group operations in Southeast Asia began, they would extinguish all the operations like a fire...

As soon as qiē, I was waiting for the national government to send it to my door...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At this point in the meeting, the atmosphere in the conference room was slightly somber.

The reason why the Portuguese dared to oppose China this time, or that their attitude had become so great, was entirely because of the instigation of the British, and if the Nationalist government did not react even the slightest, it would have been easily looked down upon.

After all, a weak and incompetent government has little international prestige to speak of.

It is important to note that this is no longer just a matter between the UK and China. Countries such as France, the United States, and Japan are well aware of this, especially countries such as Japan and the United States.

Some time ago, the Nationalist Government sent a note to the Portuguese Government, mentioning that although it is a secret that the matter of exchanging Macao in other ways is a secret, it can be said that there are not many countries that know about it. After all, even if the government can keep it secret, could it be that the Portuguese side is also obliged to keep it secret for you?

Therefore, there are not very many countries that come and go, and it is because of this relationship that the British know the news that the Nationalist government wants to take back Macao.

It is also because of this relationship that the news that the British made an obstruction from it is believed that basically all the countries participating in the Washington Conference have already known about it, and even some newspapers in the press circle have already known the relevant news. I'm afraid it won't be long before the news about this will be all over the place for various reasons...

It is conceivable that if that were the case, and being bullied to the head without even the slightest reaction, would the status of the Nationalist Government in the international community be as low as it would be, and what kind of Cheng Dù would it be looked down upon by other countries.

Even, when the news reaches China, for those who have just gained some self-confidence, how exciting will this matter be―――――― of course, the most exciting thing is probably the reaction of the Guoshe government!

If the reaction of the Nationalist government can force the British to back down, then it is the British themselves who will lose face in the end, and China can be said to have won a big victory! International prestige can also be greatly enhanced by this.

But on the other hand, if the national government really doesn't have any reaction, then I'm afraid there will only be two words left waiting for the national government...

Thinking of this, everyone in the conference room looked at Yan Shao, wanting to see what Yan Shao planned to do. After all, now Yan Shao can be said to be the leader of the national government, and any decision of the national government is made by Yan Shao, and only Yan Shao can make the decision...

Yan Shao himself obviously knew this very well, but fortunately, he had already thought about this matter before, so after organizing the language a little, Yan Shao looked up at everyone and spoke. "It's still a two-headed action..."Saying this, Yan Shao looked at Katerina, who had been silent on the side. First of all, the Secret Service should look in Burma and India to see if there are any weak defenses on the British side, and if you can, it is a good idea to let the resistance groups make trouble, provided that the losses are not too great..."

"Then, since the British want to stimulate us this time, then we can find a way to stimulate them no matter what we say, right!" (To be continued......)
