021 On the banks of the Nile
The first meeting of the heads of state of China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union was held in Cairo, Egypt. Huang Ke's plane departed from India and headed west across the Arabian Peninsula and the Red Sea to Cairo.
At that time, Cairo was still under British colonial rule, and not long ago, the famous British general Montgomery led the boys to fight Rommel's Afrika Korps here, and finally won the victory, which determined the basic pattern here.
At that time, the Soviet Union also extended its tentacles to Iran, so it can be said that this is the backyard of a fascist country. In addition, Cairo, Egypt has a pleasant climate during this season, with moderate temperatures, and the banks of the Nile River, which is full of atmosphere, so it is perfect to come here.
In the morning, the special planes of the heads of state landed one after another at the Cairo General Airport.
In the distance, there is a golden desert, the streets are dotted with earthy domes, and tall coconut trees line the road, and the sun is shining, which makes you want to sleep.
The convoy headed in the direction of the world-famous pyramid, at the end of which is the meeting place and the place where the heads of state are staying, the Mina Palace Hotel.
Despite being located on the edge of the desert, there is a huge fountain in front of the hotel, with jets of water gushing up and stone sculptures in the shape of two lions standing on either side.
At the door, a guard in a black suit and an Egyptian doorman politely guided the convoy inside.
Naturally, this momentous meeting in Cairo is subject to the highest level of security. Because it is located in a British territory, the United Kingdom is responsible for the overall security, but China, the United States and the Soviet Union will also send corresponding personnel to participate in the development of this security.
Before Huang Ke arrived, the 14 boys of the Security Department arrived in Cairo ahead of schedule to work out a security plan with the personnel of the relevant parties.
At that time, the British also made great efforts. Needless to say, the security on the ground was mobilized throughout Cairo, and the streets and alleys were full of security personnel in civilian clothes.
In order to prevent the Germans from attacking from the air, the British brought in a heavy anti-aircraft artillery anti-aircraft brigade to come, and even set up an observation post at the top of the pyramid; In addition to this, the RAF conducts 24-hour combat readiness patrols over Cairo.
In addition to more than a dozen entourages such as translators and some officials, Huang Ke also has a personal security team of more than ten people, which are all personally selected and arranged by Fourteen Tsai, so naturally there is no need to say more.
Since the last plane almost had an accident, Huang Ke's special plane security attention has been continuously strengthened.
The convoy drove directly to the drop-off platform at the entrance of the hotel, and the accompanying personnel quickly opened the door and held the door frame with their hands to prevent Huang Ke from knocking his head.
Huang Ke buttoned up his suit and got out of the car.
At the same time, long-awaited journalists also poured in. The guards and security stopped them from the latitude and longitude line, Huang Ke waved his hand and greeted everyone frequently, and the photographers hurriedly captured the picture, and the magnesium lights made a thumping sound.
After waving his hand, Huang Ke walked to the lobby of the hotel with strong steps.
As soon as I walked into the hall, the staff in charge of the reception of the conference also hurried forward to greet him.
"Mr. President, welcome to beautiful Cairo. I'm the one in charge of receiving you, and I'm going to have a hard time traveling, so allow me to guide you to your room. A tall brown woman in a women's suit stepped forward and said politely in fluent Chinese.
"You speak Chinese very well, have you been to China before?" Huang Ke praised her Chinese proficiency a few words, and then went upstairs under his guidance.
Gunivara's trademark smile responded, "Yes, Mr. Chairman, I used to live in Guangzhou. ”
"I have lived in Guangzhou." Huang Ke repeated, and then asked, "What time is it?" ”
"From 1923 to 1938, after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, I went to India and then to Egypt." Gurawashi said again.
"Oh, let's be so, we were still in the same city at the time." Huang Ke also politely replied a few words, needless to say, the beautiful and moving Miss Gunivalla in front of him must be British nationality.
Gunivala led the way in front, and Huang Ke looked at her carefully, her figure was very shapely, and under the bronzed professional group, there were white thighs.
However, when walking, the muscle lines on the upper and lower legs are very obvious. It can be seen that she must be exercising regularly.
"By the way, have the other heads of state arrived?" Huang Ke asked casually.
"Not yet, you were the first to arrive. However, they will all arrive by five o'clock today. "Gunivara.
"So, I'm still early. Can I choose a room? Huang Ke said half-jokingly.
Gu Nivala didn't expect Huang Ke to make such a request, she smiled and said, "Mr. Chairman, please trust the room we have prepared for you. In addition, if you are not satisfied with the room, you can let us know and we will take care of providing it to you. ”
"No, I'm just kidding you. When I see a beautiful girl, I can't help but make a joke, and I ask for your forgiveness. Huang Ke finished speaking, and said with a hearty smile.
Gunivalla reciprocated with his trademark smile.
Huang Ke's room is a suite on the third floor, the room is large, with a reception room, dining room, cloakroom and washroom, and the room also has a great view, from here you can see the Nile River and the pyramids not far away.
Coupled with the transfer, Huang Ke has been on the plane for two days, and he is a little tired at this time.
He told Chen Liewen to put some hot water and take a comfortable bath himself. When I finished taking a shower and changed into a bathrobe, I sat on the sofa and ate some fruit snacks to replenish my strength a little.
"Liewen, you go and inform Lin Wei and Xu Shaozhou, and ask them to come to me in twenty minutes, let's meet first and discuss the specific arrangements." Huang Ke bit an apple and said.
"Yes, but, Chairman, you've been on the plane for so long, and you haven't slept well in the past few days, why don't you meet again in the afternoon?" Chen Liewen suggested that he needed to remind Huang Ke for the sake of rest.
"No need, while Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill have not yet arrived, let's touch first. When it's time for breakout sessions, it's good to be prepared. Go and call them. ”
"Yes, I'll go over it." After Chen Liewen finished speaking, he went out.
After a while, the participants all arrived at Huang Ke's room. At this time, Huang Ke had already taken off his bathrobe and changed into a short-sleeved hunting suit.
The participants were all the secretary general of the entourage, Chen Liewen, Xu Shaozhou of the Air Force Department, Lin Wei of the attendant room, and the chief of the guard, Shishizai, who came with Huang Ke this time.
After seeing that everyone had arrived, Huang Ke first greeted the fruit he had cut on the table and said: "Come on, come on, eat some fruit first, you have all worked hard along the way, and I called you over again before you could settle down, eat something as compensation." ”
Everyone was not polite, so they picked up the fruit in the fruit bowl and ate it, but they didn't eat much, they only took a small piece symbolically.
Huang Ke looked at it and said, "Fourteen, you came the earliest, let's talk about the basic situation here, and we all have a general understanding." ”
Fourteen quickly swallowed the pineapple in his mouth, clapped his hands and said, "Let me introduce you to the security process." This time, the security is mainly provided by the British side, and I have seen it, and there should be no problem in terms of security. The British have done a thorough job in these areas. However, for some reason, they didn't disclose all of our information, and Miss Gunivara, who received us today, didn't look like an ordinary person. ”
Huang Ke nodded, "I also noticed that her calves are muscular, not like an ordinary woman, she looks like she is professionally trained, I suspect that she is not as simple as a hotel waiter." ”
"Well, but it's reasonable to arrange some military personnel as security, and we sometimes arrange it this way when we are in security." Fourteen added.
Huang Ke nodded, "That Gunivala shouldn't be any threat, if it really doesn't work, Fourteen Tsai will go and confirm with the British side in the afternoon, we need to fully understand their situation." ”
"Okay." Fourteen Tsai Road.
Huang Ke raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "Without further ado, let's discuss the agenda of the next meeting." ”
Huang Ke finalized that the Japanese-occupied territories, including Taiwan, the Penghu Islands, and the Ryukyus, should be returned to China after the war.
Naturally, there is no doubt about this, and the next thing to discuss is the problems with Britain and the Soviet Union. These two issues are relatively tricky, after all, the Soviet Union will definitely seek interests in the Far East, and the British will also have certain contradictions with China because of issues such as Burma and Hong Kong.
These are all tricky things, and Huang Ke set the tone for everyone in this brief meeting, that is, there is no way to compromise on issues of principle.
Time passed in the middle of the discussion, and before you knew it, it was already noon. It was almost time for lunch, and by this time, President Roosevelt had arrived.
Gounivara walked over and led a man who claimed to be President Roosevelt's special envoy and said, "Mr. Honorable Chairman, President Roosevelt has arrived, and is now resting in the back, and he invites you to join us for lunch at noon." ”
Huang Ke looked at it and said with a smile: "Okay, please convey my gratitude to President Roosevelt, and tell him that I will definitely go to the banquet at noon." ”
Gunivala smiled slightly, and Huang Ke also nodded, smiling at her meaningfully.
