Chapter 955 - 955 You are a habitual offender
In Lisbon, Portugal, the American envoy had just arrived at the manor for the negotiations when he heard the music of the opera coming from the house.
"The Germans seem to be in good spirits." The envoy said to his entourage, the expression on his face rather unhappy, "I'll really want to remind him later that the fighting in North Africa is not over." ”
"Mr. Secret Envoy," the retinue advised, "it will not be too late to warn the Germans when we have really won victory in North Africa." ”
The envoy took a deep breath and seemed to dispel the thought just now, he changed the topic and said, "Why does the lyrics of this "My Sun" feel a little strange? ”
"Well, it's a little weird, it doesn't seem to be Italian or Latin."
Actually, the authentic "My Sun" is sung in the Naplean dialect, but apparently the entourage does not know this, in fact, many non-Italian speakers do not know this.
The envoy probably didn't know either, but he stood in front of the door and listened intently for a while, and then said, "It seems to be sung in Chinese, I'm not sure ......."
At this time, the music is just in the high part, and I only hear the singer sing loudly: "A lump is a pineapple, and a lump without a lump is a turnip......
The envoy could not understand what was being sung, so he simply admired the singer's singing skills.
"Pretty good, but I don't know why, I think his breath is a little weird, like ......," the American continued, frowning, and after a moment's consideration, "as if he was holding back a smile." ”
"Well, that's a bit like that, Mr. Secret Envoy."
"Anyway, let's go in and say hello to our old friend." As he spoke, the secret envoy was the first to step through the door.
As soon as you enter the huge Western-style foyer, the music is even louder, the singer is singing about pineapples and turnips, and the butler who has been waiting in the foyer for a long time makes a gesture of please.
The American envoy couldn't help but ask: "What is this "My Sun"?" ”
"It was brought by His Excellency the German Secret Envoy, and it is said that Mr. Lin Youdelin personally wrote the lyrics, and his partners liked the Chinese version of "My Sun" very much."
The steward just read the book as the German envoy said. In fact, even the German envoy didn't know that the so-called "mates" liked it very much, but in fact, it was the fox and other people who could understand it that laughed on the ground, leaving only Sissi and Lydia, who didn't understand well, with a puzzled look next to them......
Of course, it seems right to say that Lin Youde's partners like this crossword board, but they all like it as a joke.
After the end of the song, the American envoy entered the room where the meeting was held, just in time to see the German envoy changing the record.
"Oh, Mr. Secret Envoy," said the German, greeting the American very warmly, "you have come just in time, I am about to enjoy this record that has just been sent from Potsdam, and I heard that it is a new work by Mr. Lin." ”
"Yes, I also want to appreciate Mr. Lin's artistic talent."
"Mr. Secret Envoy, I am a Junker and a rough man, so my evaluation may not be countable," the German put the record away, and placed the crystal head on the record, and the soft prelude came out of the phonograph's loudspeaker, and the German continued, "but there are not only Germans in Germany now, but also Austrians. The Austrians of Vienna, the capital of music, also spoke highly of Mr. Lin's artistic attainments. ”
"I think it's probably because he's the most powerful man in Germany." The secret envoy of the United States complained coldly.
The German was not annoyed either, and apparently he was in a rather happy mood today.
By this time, however, the attention of the American envoy had been drawn to the music.
Indeed, the music has a strong appeal, and it's easy to immerse yourself in it. Originally, the Americans thought that the Germans were playing this song to echo their high march in North Africa and create some momentum for today's negotiations, but now he felt that the German should really be very excited to receive the record from China, and he couldn't wait to hear it.
In the case of this first song, it is not so much a celebration of victory as a celebration of a good harvest -- the difference is not clear to Americans, but it sounds less reminiscent of the army, but rather of being in an autumn wheat field, surrounded by full, heavy ears of wheat.
"It's a masterpiece."
The Americans sincerely admired. Of course he didn't know that all the qiē songs created by Lin Youde were copied, and they were copied by his plug-in ability.
After the butler picked up the gramophone cartridge from the record at the end of the piece, the American envoy first spoke: "As for the conditions of this armistice, the new instructions of our parliament have been delivered this morning. ”
The Americans paused, as if they wanted to sell a pass, but the Germans were very uncooperative, and sat with a stern expression and waited for the Americans to continue.
So the Americans had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue: "We believe that it will be impossible for the two sides to reach any agreement if we continue to insist on our original demands, so the parliament has instructed us to make appropriate concessions, but only if Germany also makes corresponding concessions......"
"We're not going to withdraw our starting point in North Africa." The German envoy interrupted the Americans and pointed out bluntly, "Actually, we have received instructions that clearly indicate that the North African issue is not on the agenda of this discussion, so we ......"
"Isn't there any room for accommodation?"
"No, our army will continue to advance and will not stop attacking until the coalition forces are completely driven out of North Africa." The German envoy replied in an unquestioning tone, "So, let's forget about North Africa." ”
"But it is also possible that our army will achieve a reversal ...... on the North African battlefield"
"When you have achieved a reversal, there is no problem in reversing the terms that have been agreed upon. After all, we are now a secret treaty, and there is probably no country other than Britain and Germany that can figure out the whole picture of the incident, so even if the United States tampers with the treaty a little, it will not be punished, and the international community may not even know about the existence of this secret treaty. ”
The Germans paused and struck an additional blow to the Americans: "Actually, I think the United States is really too quick to revise the peace treaty that has been signed into force, and you are already a habitual offender." ”
The Germans' remarks embarrassed the US secret envoy, because they were accusing the Americans of not being trustworthy, and the US secret envoy would certainly not be happy to hear this.
But at this time, he couldn't put these feelings on his face, so he could only respond in a low voice: "We won't do this again in the future, this time the agreement will be well preserved from beginning to end and resolutely implemented." ”
"Very well," said the German, nodding in satisfaction, "then let us discuss the terms of the peace treaty in detail, and see which ones are to be deleted and those are to be rewritten." ”
