Chapter 199: Hawkish Figures
When I entered the conference room, I saw a row of people sitting on the main sofa.
Naturally, in the center is Bao Zhengguo, with two men and two women sitting on his left and right sides, and Shu Xiangzhen is among them, sitting on the left side of Bao Zhengguo. After the past two days of contact, Yong Bowen has also known several main leaders of the inspection team, and the other two men and one woman are all permanent directors of the general association, the mages of the southern faction, and when facing them, the northern mages, they always hold their chins high and look high, even when they accept Yong Bowen to send the little goblin, they also look like they ignore it, and of course they are not soft when they accept it.
Yu Chengshi took Xiao Zengxiang, Gu Xijiang, Qi Mengmeng and Li Muzi to sit at the bottom, this is the chairman of the Chuncheng Local Association and the four permanent directors, that is, the core team, after all, the scale of the local association is not comparable to the general association.
Luo Wanlan came in with Yong Bowen and arranged for him to sit opposite Bao Zhengguo and the others, while she sat opposite Yu Chengshi and the others, her official position was the secretary general of the Chuncheng Mage Association and the secretary of Yu Chengshi, and she was usually responsible for recording conversations on such important occasions.
Yong Bowen nodded respectfully to several leaders and then sat down on the sofa in an orderly manner.
Bao Zhengguo was very satisfied with Yong Bowen's attitude when he came out, nodded slightly, and said, "Xiao Yong, it's been hard these days. Because Yong Bowen did not have a position in the Mage Association, and Bao Zhengguo was not familiar with him to the point where he could call him by name, he chose a middle-of-the-road title.
Yong Bowen hurriedly said modestly: "This is what I should do." ”
The two of you exchanged a few polite words, and Bao Zhengguo returned to the point, "Xiao Yong, the main purpose of this conversation with you, I think you should also be clear, is about the settlement agreement with the Australian Mages Association, I want to hear your opinion, after all, you are one of the parties, and published such an open letter, your attitude is very important for the real reconciliation between Australia and us." Well, tell us what you think. ”
Yong Bowen asked bluntly: "Vice Chairman Bao, do you want to ask me if I have any thoughts on issuing an apology statement?" ”
"Yes, this is one of the conditions for us to reach a compromise with the Australian side, just to apologize verbally, so that the Australian side can have a step down, and the face will not be so ugly, as for the compensation and the return of goods in the treaty, the Australian side also said that there is no need to actually pay compensation." Bao Zhengguo coughed dryly, feeling that these convincing powers alone were not enough, in the past two days, he had already inquired from Yu Chengshi about Yong Bowen's personality and temper, according to Chairman Yu, this guy is a donkey who is pulling his head and not going backwards! So Vice Chairman Bao decided to say the necessity of some compromises, "Xiao Yong, I know that you are very dissatisfied with this peace treaty, but you can't just look at your own one-third of an acre of land, but also take into account the overall situation, now the war in Eastern Europe is tight, the United States and European associations have put all their attention on Eastern Europe, wrestling secretly, and have no time to look eastward, it is a good time for our Chinese Mage Association to vigorously develop, and many companies' products are exported to foreign countries, and even occupy a large market share, such as Chairman Yu's magic weapons, It has almost monopolized the arms trade with Eastern Europe, and this kind of good opportunity for development is quite rare, and if it really tears its face with Australia, it will directly affect the relationship with Europe and the United States. Once it affects our relations with Europe and the United States, it will deal a very heavy blow to our once-in-a-lifetime development opportunity. Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, we have to make some compromises and make some regressions while ensuring the rights and interests of our own mages as much as possible......"
Yong Bowen waited patiently for Bao Zhengguo to finish speaking, and then said with a little hesitation: "Vice Chairman Bao, I ......" In fact, it doesn't matter if he apologizes or not, even the wife of the president of the Australian Mage Association has been arrested, what is the big deal with a verbal apology, anyway, he will continue to make trouble in the future. It's just that he originally had a very resolute attitude, and he also gave Yu Chengshi this impression, if he suddenly made a 180-degree turn, it would be too sudden, there is a way that things are abnormal, that is, demons, and all of them here are first-class people, otherwise they can't ascend to a high position in a place like the Mage Association, where elites gather, and his too sudden change is easy to arouse suspicion. So, at the very least, put on a show to make the other person feel like they are being persuaded and not suddenly change their minds.
didn't wait for Yong Bowen to continue acting, a permanent director sitting in the second place on the right side of Bao Zhengguo had already yelled impatiently, "Chairman Bao has already spoken so thoroughly, what else do you want?" The peace treaty has been signed, what ideas do you have to keep, but they must be implemented, you are still a member of the Mage Association, you must obey the orders of the association, don't think that you can be special because you are a purple emblem! This tone is already a very heavy reprimand, and it is the kind of condescending posture of looking down.
This permanent director, surnamed Hu Mingqiyan, is the head of the Mingjian faction in southeastern Fujian and a hawkish figure among the southern mages.
This hawk is not referring to being tough on the outside world. It's impossible! It is precisely by relying on the support of the international mage associations that the southern mage sects can occupy the main position in the mage associations, and almost all important factions have the shadow of foreign interest groups behind them. At that time, the Eastern European Mage Association blatantly launched a war against the Heterogeneous Alliance with the support of the International Jurists Committee, and the Southern Mage Sect immediately waved their flags and shouted, which was even more active than their own affairs, and even took the initiative to ask for help, willing to send an expedition team to assist the Eastern European Mage Association in the battle, but unfortunately this Eastern European war was a battle between the Eastern European Mage Association and the Heterogeneous Alliance on the surface, but in fact, it was a secret competition between Europe, the United States and Russia, and no one wanted the Chinese Mage Association with unlimited potential to step in. In particular, the Holy See and the Wizards' Guild are still suffering from the Hundred Years' War, and when they hear that Chinese mages are coming to Eastern Europe to participate in the war, they are all resolutely opposed. This is not the case of a legendary story such as the Chinese mage's expedition to Eastern Europe and the decisive battle of the Xenomorph Alliance, which can be turned into a commentary novel.
It can't be the outside, but it can be the inside. Especially in terms of the attitude towards the northern mages, there are many people among the southern mages who advocate vigorous suppression, and some people even shouted the words "there is no need for the group of soil buns in the north", wanting to fundamentally exclude the northern mages from the mage association, and create a situation of division between the north and the south in the magic world, so that the northern mages will never have the opportunity to participate in the development and competition of the mainstream of the international magic community. Those who advocate vigorously suppressing the Northern Mage faction are called hawks. In the words of Yu Chengshi, this eagle is the eagle of the eagle dog, and the so-called hawk is the meaning of the dog's leg faction.
