To be a successful diplomat, you must first learn how to talk nonsense. Update the fastest 78xs// If you can explain things clearly in one minute, put on the country, nation, sovereign interests, freedom and democracy, politics and economy, and talk for two or three hours, and still make the other party feel cloudy, then your level is basically in the room. If you can be so quiet that the other party can believe that one plus one equals three, and you can't wait to give you all the money in your pocket, then congratulations, you have entered the realm of merit.

Kupensky and Lu Zhengxiang are both eating the bowl of diplomacy, and their skills are absolutely excellent. The two argued hoarsely, foaming at the mouth, and the spit Xingzi washed all the green bricks on the floor of the hall, but still did not reach a consensus. Seeing that it was already noon, and the tea had not been added once since morning, Kupensky was hungry with fire in his throat, but Lu Zhengxiang had no intention of staying for dinner, and even wanted to pull Kupensky to chat for a few more hours. What a rare opportunity!

Kupensky weighed it again and again, but decided to put aside a few cruel words and walk, and no longer rubbed his tongue with Lu Zhengxiang: "Your Excellency, I don't care what the status of Outer Mongolia is, and whether the Kulen authorities protest or not, on behalf of the Russian Empire, I would like to make a serious protest to your ** team for killing Russian nationals and diplomats and harming Russia's interests, and your government must compensate 5 million rubles, and make a solemn apology to the Russian Empire, and promise not to make such mistakes again in the future." ”

Lu Zhengxiang hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Excellency, my government expresses great regret for the killing of your country's nationals and diplomats and the loss of interests caused, and is also willing to make a solemn apology to the Russian Empire. Guarantee that such mistakes will not be made again in the future. However, due to the financial constraints of the government due to the payment of compensation and other problems, Japan has been barely able to survive by borrowing from banks in various countries since its establishment, and the national treasury has long been impoverished. The huge amount of compensation is simply unbearable. In my humble opinion, it would be better for Your Excellency the Minister on the issue of compensation to consult with Dr. Johnson, who is also the main party. ”

Kupensky said sharply: "I don't care who is involved, I only know to find you Chinese government!" Remember, your government must respond within 24 hours, otherwise you do so at your own risk. With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Lu Zhengxiang could only smile bitterly: diplomacy ultimately relies on strength to speak, and there is no strength. No matter how powerful his mouth is, he is a papier-mâché tiger.

After Kupensky went back, he thought about it again and again, and felt that what Lu Zhengxiang said was very reasonable. At present, the most valuable and easiest thing to grab in China is land, but only if the spoils are evenly distributed and those who see it have a share. Previously, the Russian government agitated for foreign independence. Vainly trying to monopolize one family has aroused great dissatisfaction among Britain, the United States, Japan, France, and other countries, and it is absolutely impossible to cede land again this time. When it comes to reparations, there's nothing to think about. Now the government of the Republic of China itself is so poor that it can't open the pot. Where is there any oil and water for others to squeeze?

Compared with the government of the Republic of China, Sun Yuanqi's oil and water are obviously much richer. If nothing else, even a random transfer of a patent for penicillin, oxytetracycline, sulfonamide is more valuable than extorting 5 million rubles, not to mention the latest bombers and reconnaissance aircraft? Moreover, Sun Yuanqi's territory is in the west, within the sphere of influence of Russia, a little threat with force, I am not afraid that he will not be convinced!

For the sudden visit of Kupensky. Sun Yuanqi understood his intentions without thinking, but he still politely invited him into the living room. Sit down. Sun Yuanqi said with a smile: "There is a saying in the ancient Chinese classics that 'there is no diplomacy for those who are ministers' and 'there is no friendship between doctors outside the country', which means that incumbent officials in their own country cannot have private contacts with other countries. His Excellency the Minister suddenly came to the Humble House, and Sun felt even more frightened while feeling that it was shining! I don't know if you're here, what advice do you have? ”

Kupensky laughed dryly a few times before he said solemnly: "Mr. Sun, in your Chinese words, it is indeed 'nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace'. The reason is that in recent days, planes have bombed Uriya Sutai, Kobdo City, and other cities, resulting in the killing of dozens of Chinese nationals and diplomats, and causing heavy losses to China's interests in Outer Mongolia. Are these planes from Shaanxi, Gansu and other provinces in the northwest? ”

"Planes bombed cities such as Uriya Sutai and Kobdo?" Sun Yuanqi then shrugged, "I'm sorry, I'm just a civilian, and I don't know much about the country's military operations. ”

"You ——!" Kupensky didn't expect Sun Yuanqi, as the world's most famous scientist, to behave like such a scoundrel at this time, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed. It took a long time to calm down his anger and said calmly: "Mr. Sun, it's useless to deny!" Taking off from the Sino-Mongolian border, bombing Uriya Sutai, Kobdo City, and other places, and then returning, the range reached more than 1,400 kilometers. As we all know, the Aircraft Research Institute of your Jingshi University, oh, now it should be called the China Academy of Aviation Technology, has always been at the forefront of aircraft research in the world, and now you are the only one in Central Asia who has the ability to develop this aircraft. Therefore, these planes must come from Shaanxi, Gansu and other provinces under your control! ”

Sun Yuanqi continued to play scoundrels and said: "Oh, some Chinese hot-blooded young people are indignant and drive privately to punish Mongolian traitors, maybe there are also them. Your Excellency, Minister, do not be impatient, and I will give you an explanation after I find out the truth of the matter. ”

Kupensky apparently didn't want this outcome: "Confession? Your inhumane bombing has killed and injured at least hundreds of our nationals and diplomats, and the Russian industry in Outer Mongolia has also been severely damaged, with losses amounting to more than 5 million rubles. As the perpetrator, Your Excellency must immediately compensate our country for all losses and make a solemn apology to the Russian Empire, promising not to make such mistakes again in the future, otherwise you will bear all the consequences! ”

"What are the serious consequences?" Sun Yuanqi deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: Anyway, the enterprises under his command do not have much contact with Russia, first, they are not afraid that it will engage in an arms embargo, second, they are not afraid that it will engage in an economic blockade, and third, they are not afraid that it will engage in asset freezing, what serious consequences can there be?

Kupensky didn't speak, but got up and walked to the world map hanging in the living room, and focused his finger on the location of Xinjiang a few times.

Sun Yuanqi also came to the map, with his thumb as the center of the circle. The index finger inadvertently drew an arc on the map: "I think that since the city of Khovdor and Uriya Sutai are all within range, then Barnaul (the economic center, commercial center, non-ferrous metal mining and smelting center of the Altai Territory of Russia), Novonikolaevsk (now Novosibirsk. The largest city in Siberia and the economic, scientific, technological, cultural center), Novokuznetsk (the center of coal mining and industry in the Kemerovo region of Russia) will certainly be no problem. ”

Kupensky couldn't help but change color: "What, Mr. Sun is ready to start a full-scale war with our Russian Empire?" ”

Sun Yuanqi shook his finger: "No, no, no!" Sun and even the Chinese government, from the past to the present, have never been the party that took the initiative to provoke the war. Your Excellency the Minister thinks so, right? ”

Of course, Kupensky heard the strong sarcasm in Sun Yuanqi's words, so he could only ignore it at the moment, and asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

"I just think Your Excellency the Minister is asking too much." Sun Yuanqi also didn't want to get into trouble with Tsarist Russia, at least not until Tsarist Russia was defeated by Germany in World War I. As for adding money. You can discuss it slowly. Besides, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

A hint of pride flashed in Kupensky's eyes: "How much does Mr. Sun think is appropriate?" ”

"100,000 rubles!"

Kupensky almost gushed out a mouthful of old blood: "Mr. Sun, are you joking?" ”

"Nope. I'm serious. Sun Yuanqi looked unfazed.

"At least 4 million rubles, otherwise no need to talk!" Kuppens is basically a lion's mouth, and now seeing that the gap between the two is too big, he immediately started to jump off the building and sell it.

Sun Yuanqi pondered for a moment. Then he said, "As far as I know." The cities of Uriya Sutai and Kobdo have just experienced a rebellion, and your country does not have much property in these two towns, so the losses from this bombing are negligible. Didn't Your Excellency just say that hundreds of people from your country and diplomats have been killed or wounded? Otherwise, compensation is paid according to the uniform standard of 10,000 roubles for the killed and 5,000 roubles for the injured. What do you think, Your Excellency? ”

Now Outer Mongolia is Russia's backyard, and it is not Russia itself that has the final say on how many expatriate and diplomatic casualties there are? If this is calculated, it is quite possible to exceed 4 million rubles. So Kupensky nodded with satisfaction: "Mr. Sun's plan is a good way!" ”

Sun Yuanqi then added: "Of course, the focus of the debate on the adoption of this scheme must be the issue of numbers. To be as fair as possible. We should use the list of persons registered in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country as a benchmark, and then verify the compensation on a person-by-person basis. The wounded must see the person, and the dead must see the corpse. Do you think it is fair and impartial? ”

“……！” Kupensky's face turned pale. To tell the truth, the bombing of Uriya Sutai, the city of Kobdo, and the Outer Mongolian military camp on the banks of the Bulgan River did kill and injure many Russians, but it was mainly Russian spies and Russian officers and soldiers who helped Outer Mongolia train the army.

Sun Yuanqi said again: "If Your Excellency the Minister has no objection, then the losses caused by the bombing of Kulun will also be calculated according to this method. ”

"What? Are you still going to bomb Cullen? Kupensky couldn't help but be surprised.

"Why not?" Sun Yuanqi replied as a matter of course, "The so-called 'cultivating virtue and doing everything to eliminate evil', Kulun is the nest of the Outer Mongolian rebels, so naturally it is also among the bombing, and it is the target of the key bombing. However, Your Excellency the Minister can rest assured that this morning the plane has gone to the skies over Kulen to conduct close reconnaissance to ensure that the places to be bombed in the future are all points where the rebels are entrenched, and that innocent people will never be harmed again. ”

Kupensky no longer cared about compensation or apologies, and immediately got up to say goodbye and hurriedly left.

From the afternoon to the late night, in just half a day, Kulen turned from a populated capital city into a deserted ghost town, from the "Mongol Emperor" Jebtsundamba to ordinary people, all fled from this prosperous place.

As a matter of fact, Sun Yuanqi knew very well that this was not the best time to solve the Outer Mongolian issue, and that the bombing of the cities of Uriya Sutai and Kobdo was just an example to the monkeys, and he hoped that the Kulen authorities would not be too arrogant, and they themselves had no intention of fighting to the death with the bayonets of Outer Mongolia and Tsarist Russia, so it was impossible to directly bomb Kulen. The arrival of planes and the threat of bombing are nothing but false words and intimidation.

Although it was just a lie, it was enough to make Jebtsundamba and Kupensky panic! (To be continued.) )
