21. Wrestling with all parties (1)
"This view is of course wrong," said Delmarin eagerly, "and any of us participating in this conference aimed at resolving the Congo River basin naturally has the right to make suggestions and express opinions, and France is a great power, and of course we do not agree."

"The French themselves have a part of the sovereignty over the Congo River," Zeng took a sip of wine, "and of course they don't want other countries to get too involved in this matter, which is understandable." ā
"What is your country's position?" Delmarin continued, his tone was full of excitement, he could hear the dissatisfaction in Zeng Jize's words, coupled with the battle between Zeng Jize and Baptiste during the day, it was obvious that there was still the same hostility between China and France as it was six years ago, "The Kingdom of Belgium will never treat any friend badly," he hurriedly promised, "If there is a friend who is willing to help Belgium, the whole kingdom will be very grateful, and offer a very rich reward." ā
An Lan secretly snickered in his heart behind his back, these people are so interesting, they are rushing to beg for people now, don't you know that if you ask for people, other people's lions open their mouths are the most unbearable conditions, but it's right to turn your head and think about it, Portugal has the support of Britain, France and Germany now seem to be in a collusion, only the Kingdom of Belgium, this small kingdom on the plains of Western Europe, at present, no big country claims to support his interests, in any such situation, you have to be anxious, It's too normal to rush to the doctor when you are sick.
"Thank you," Zeng Jize's eyes flashed, "I very much believe that your country's diplomatic principles are a very noble way to make friends." But in addition, although Zeng Jize said a lot of words that seemed very friendly, but there was not a word to make a stand, Delmarin saw that the conversation and patting had no effect, so he left in a huff, An Lan looked at the back of Delmarin's departure, "The Belgians can't wait." ā
"This deputy foreign minister is just a small person, their group of people is here to fight the front station, the most important and core person, has not yet arrived, of course, if they can't make progress in the meeting when the core figure arrives, then of course he can't eat and has to go around."
"The King of Belgium has heard that he will come in person, right?"
"Yes, in about half a month, this ambitious king will come to Berlin."
The two were talking when a male voice suddenly interjected, "Sorry for the interruption." ā
Speaking in a strange tone of Chinese Chinese voice, Zeng Jize raised his head and saw the representative of the Japanese delegation, the small man in a black tuxedo, he walked towards Zeng Jize and walked in front of him, bent down and bowed, "Very abrupt to come and disturb, I'm very sorry." ā
"This is the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan, Mr. Mutisaburo." The pro-entourage on the side introduced.
"Hello Minister Mutz," Zeng Jize nodded, "I didn't expect you to speak Chinese." ā
"Yes," the little man Mutsaburo bent down again, very humble, "China is a country of etiquette, I admire it very much, so I learned Chinese, I can't speak it well, please understand." ā
"Minister Mutz said it very well," Zeng Jize gestured towards Mutz Saburo.
"Lord Zeng, your father, Zhuang Xian Wangye, is the most admired Qing Dynasty hero in my country, saving the overturned society, establishing immortal moral articles, and is really a masterpiece among people!"
The Japanese are the most admiring of the strong, so Mu Ci Saburo's words are not polite words, the feelings are very sincere, Zeng Jize solemnly expression, "Thank you for your compliment." ā
"I take the liberty of coming to disturb," Muci Saburo said modestly, "I just want to tell you one thing, this meeting, Japan is willing to follow China's position, and hopes to advance and retreat together with China." ā
An Lan raised his eyebrows in disbelief, what did this Japanese suddenly run over and say these inexplicable words of loyalty?
"I wonder what China's position is?"
Zeng Jize smiled and said, "We don't have any position, we came here this time just to learn from the relevant diplomatic experience of the West and improve our level of handling affairs." ā
"Every country has its own position," Motsaburo insisted, "and we are willing to work with China and hope to help China, this is our determination." ā
"With all due respect," An Lan said coldly on the side, "but your country is entering with the British. ā
"We value all Asian countries more and the common rights and interests of the yellow race," this means that if there is a conflict between China and Britain at this meeting in the future, they will not hesitate to stand on China's side, and Mutzsaburo bowed and left, "Please believe this." ā
Zeng Jize squinted at Mu Ci Saburo leaving, "These Japanese don't have a word of truth, but they are often so humble and polite forever, but they can't make people lose their temper." ā
"It's also a trait of theirs to be submissive," An Lan nodded, "but their words should not be believed." ā
"I can't believe it, but I don't know what other countries mean yet," Zeng Jize nodded and said, "In the big countries, Tsarist Russia and Austria-Hungary, what does it mean, I don't know what it means yet, let's also ask them what they mean, there is no need for us to disagree with them for no reason." ā
"The Russians are the most popular," An Lan stretched out his finger to the other side, where the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister who had already drunk and half of his face was flushed, surrounded by big guys, talking and laughing, very happy, "They are probably the most respectable countries to stay out of." ā
"Yes, he doesn't look down on the land of the Congo River, so his opinion is very important," Zeng Jize said, "so of course we need the pursuit of all countries, and now the three parties wrestle, and the opinions of the other major countries are very important." He suddenly saw something and quickly turned around, "The foreign secretary of Portugal is here again, he is too verbose, let's hurry away." ā
Mutz Saburo left the scene of the reception and went to a living room, he walked inside, there was already someone on the sofa drinking whiskey waiting for him, and when he saw Mu Ci Saburo, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, Mr. Mutz, are you here?" I poured myself whiskey, what about you, what do you need? (To be continued.) )
