The first update

In order to show the importance of this meeting, Prime Minister Vieira de Mello personally traveled to London to participate in the joint meeting of the Congo, in addition to the German ambassador to London, Count Kerensky, the French Foreign Secretary De Kaaz, and the British Foreign Secretary Russell.

Although Belgium only played the role of soy sauce in this incident, Foreign Minister Melander went to London to participate in the meeting, hoping to use this diplomatic mediation to protect the colonies that France promised to give him.

However, as soon as he walked into the conference room, he felt a sense of tension in the air. Everyone else looked puzzled as to how Belgium could get involved. And every country in the room is stronger than this small country, and Belgium is weak in the face of everyone and calls Dad.

The French and British representatives finally entered the room, and Dekaz looked at Prime Minister Vieira de Mello coldly, but the other side looked angry.

From the very beginning of the meeting, the smell of gunpowder was filled, and Portuguese Prime Minister Vieira de Mello took the lead in attacking France, strongly protesting and condemning the French attack on the Portuguese colony, and implicitly sowing discord with other countries, saying, "The current African land has formed an inherent order, and every country has a corresponding colonial land, and I think the French offensive move is challenging the authority of the African colonies." Now that the French are moving towards the Portuguese colonies, we are not sure that Portugal will move towards the colonies of South Africa. So Representative Kadez, do you think that if you are stupid and deceitful, no one will find out what you have done? ”

However, Prime Minister Vieira de Mello's words were not heeded by Russell's diplomatic ambassador, who only showed impatience and then nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue.

With the support of the Germans behind him, Portuguese Prime Minister Vieira de Mello behaved even more unscrupulously, pointing his head directly at De Kaz and asking, "I only have one question now, the French Foreign Minister." Are you now ready to annex all of Africa? ”

The German ambassador, Count Kerensky, scratched his nose, and he sat in his seat calmly watching the French's every move, Prime Minister Vieira de Mello was nothing more than an appetizer, they were the real manipulators behind the scenes.

"That's nonsense! Every word reveals the squalor and shamelessness of the despicable! ”

There was a sonorous rebuttal on the originally quiet occasion, and everyone turned their eyes to the French representative, only to see him looking at the other party with an angry expression, and said, "France really wants to annex Europe, and we still want to talk nonsense with you here?" We're really going to do it, that little of your Portuguese colony has long been annexed, and it's your turn to cry out to the others at this meeting about our atrocities, it's shameless! The French really want to annex your colonies, and I can guarantee you won't even have a chance to appeal! ”

The righteous foreign secretary suppressed De Mello's wicked complaint first, he took out a document from his bosom, pointed at De Mello and said, "The Portuguese have maliciously violated the rules of trade, and set up checkpoints downstream to prevent French ships from passing, and France had no choice but to negotiate with the Portuguese colonial governor, but the other side shot at our reliable men and wounded fifteen of us." The French colonists had no choice but to counterattack in self-defense, and who knew that the Portuguese colonial army was vulnerable and vulnerable, and we only had more than 50 people to stop their attack of more than 400 people. ”

Dekaz the document in your hand for the other delegates present to see. After reading Dekaz's papers, some of the delegates had already shown disdain and ridicule to the Portuguese Prime Minister.

For the first time, they had seen such a war with a huge disparity in casualties actually happening to two modern civilized countries. Except for the natives, they had never encountered such a war loss ratio before.

"If anyone here doesn't believe me, go to the Congo to investigate the accuracy of this French document. Prime Minister Sergio de Mello, what else do you have to say? ”

The plot is reversed, and now it is Dekaz's turn to taunt the other party, "A regular Portuguese colonial army was actually pressed to the ground and beaten by a scientific expedition escort, it was really humiliating and thrown home." ”

Prime Minister Vieira de Mello's face turned pale with anger, and he glared at Dekaz fiercely, and the other party only replied with a calm smile. However, this mocking smile is more lethal than any words.

"It's not that I look down on Portugal, your army is not even qualified to lift our shoes, and now you are embarrassed to stand at the negotiating table and accuse us angrily? I have never seen such a shameless diplomatic ambassador. Oh no, you're the first. ”

Portugal's comprehensive national strength is not good, and the prime minister's diplomatic level is still trampled under the feet of an old fox, and in the end, even the German diplomatic ambassador can't stand it anymore, and directly stands up and says, "But France's expansion in the Congo region is obvious, and since the defeat in the war in 1870, you have been trying to acquire more colonies." What France is doing has to be so worrying! ”

Dekaz turned around, glanced at Count Kerensky from top to bottom, and said disdainfully, "And what are you?" ”

"Pay attention to your words, Foreign Minister Dekaz. Now you are speaking on behalf of France, not personally. ”

Count Kerensky haughtily straightened his collar and said word by word, "I can forgive you this time, and you will have to apologize to me next time." ”

However, Dekaz didn't pay any attention to what he said, and repeated what he had just said.

"I told you, what are you. France is crazy to expand its colonies, what about you? Who had greater ambitions to expand the colonies than Germany and France? The German Confederation was formally established only last year, and you need the colonies to dump your goods more than France. When you accuse the French, put on the face of Germany, Berlin's footsteps are expanding throughout the world, and you are trying to snatch it from France, from England, from all the colonies. Today's Congo is just the beginning, and there will be more to come. I can see your wolf ambitions very clearly. When you accuse the French at this negotiating table, remember that you are the one who is the most greedy! ”

Kerensky was uncovered, and his face was flushed with anger. He yelled, "Enough! ”

"It's not enough!"

Dekaz rightly continued, "So this time you're trying to get your hand into the middle of Africa by intervening in this dispute. A jungle basin the size of a German territory is sure to make Berlin salivate for its mineral and rubber resources! ”

"That's it!"

Minister Russell was afraid that if the quarrel continued, the other party would say that he would leak his mouth, so he hurriedly stood up and made a mud.

"Enough of you, listen to me!"

Minister Russell, as the host, had privately carved up Belgium's share of the territory, and he needed to stand up and put down the undercurrent at the conference table.

"This is a proposal from the United Kingdom, and I hope that this dispute can be resolved!"
