Chapter 98 Developed limbs

Almost sitting in the car, the moment the car left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ito Hirofumi patted his big foot in surprise, and then shouted again.

"They were fooled!"

"Your Excellency?"

I was shocked and saw Ito, who was full of chagrin, and asked quickly.

"We are not already..."

"Oh!"

Ito seemed to be exhausted and interrupted the words of Zhiyi with a long sigh.

"The Chinese people exchanged what they had to do in exchange for our promise!"

"What's wrong?"

Originally, he looked at Ito in surprise for the smooth negotiation and even for the extra guarantee.

"If the Chinese people's goal is achieved, Lucia will naturally become an abandoned son. Of course, they are no longer willing to provide port support to the Russian fleet, and now most of the warships of the Russian fleet have been maintained. I believe that the Lu Chinese are no longer willing to wait in the port,... Hey"

At this point, Ito closed his eyes in pain.

"What a difficult opponent!"

While sighing, Ito opened his eyes and looked at the benefit.

"Yijun, you can cheer up to deal with these Chinese diplomats in the future!"

Looking at the street outside the car, Ito continued to say that Yanjing, China, increasingly showed an oriental-style Yanjing.

"There is not enough for regular diplomats. The most difficult diplomats are those who do not follow the rules. For such people, you never know what they will abandon at any time! For such people, the stage of diplomacy is just a scene of fraud to achieve the goal!"

"The essence of diplomacy is fraud!"

When watching Hirofumi Ito's car leave the Ministry of Foreign Affairs upstairs, Liang Dunyan said this loudly when he turned around, but Cao Weiran, who stood in front of him, noticed a wry smile on the minister's face.

"Your Excellency, it seems that you don't agree with this view!"

"This is your majesty's opinion!"

Liang Dunyan did not hide the source of this view.

"In your majesty's opinion, there can never be friendship between countries. At best, there is only realistic cooperation with temporary surnames. Even such cooperation is a fraudulent cooperation. Therefore, when formulating any plan, we must adhere to the principle that any international agreement is OK. Tear it up at any time!"

"If so, will it affect China's future international credibility? If the international reputation is damaged, I'm afraid there will be no harm!"

When Cao Weiran expressed his opinion, Liang Dunyan did not answer him, and went to his desk to sit down, and then motioned Cao Weiran to sit down.

"Although I don't agree with this view, I don't deny it at all! Your Majesty did say the essence of diplomacy!"

Seeing that Cao Weiran still seemed to have a lot of doubts, he explained further.

"The world's modern diplomatic rules are formulated by powerful countries, and the makers are mainly Britain and France. Now all countries must abide by the various diplomatic rules formulated by Britain and France. When the British teach us the diplomatic rules, they constantly emphasize that a country's diplomacy is basically "maintaining international credibility" and its core. It is to maintain the valid surname and legal surname of the signed treaty, which are inviolable, but..."

With a sneer, Liang Dunyan looked up at Cao Weiran.

"Why did they make this rule?"

"Your excellency, that's because those treaties are beneficial to them, and even most of them are unequal treaties that they usurp!"

Only then did Cao Weiran realize why there was a so-called "legal surname of the treaty".

"It's true. Even if Britain and other countries sign so-called alliance treaties or equality treaties, or even secret treaties, they all adhere to one principle and try to use provisions that are beneficial to them in the treaty to restrain each other. For example, in the British alliance treaty, they are bound by some provisions of the treaty. Ben's active surname, in the British Alliance Treaty, seems to be equal to Japan, but in fact, the British empire for hundreds of years has slightly led to its Ministry of Foreign Affairs to have a huge treaty writing team and profound skills..."

With the heavy kung fu, Liang Dunyan hesitated for a moment.

"It is the litigation team. From the time they made the treaty, they began to consider that when they violated the treaty, they could take advantage of the loopholes in the treaty at any time to find a favorable explanation for themselves, and they could only let it be allowed."

"Your Excellency, is it like our conflict with Japan this time? Britain's straightforward betrayal of the contract makes Japan unable to find any room for rebuttal at all?"

At this time, Cao Weiran finally understood why the minister said this to himself. In this conflict, the British directly rejected Japan's request on the grounds that "the treaty did not involve Chinese provisions", and at the same time, they took out the provisions of the treaty to respect Britain's interests in China.

This battlefield is said that I can rest assured because of the British Alliance Agreement, and in the end, I suffered a disadvantage in the British Alliance Agreement. Unless I decided to tear up the British Alliance Agreement, which is valid for five years, they must respect Britain's "special interests south of the Yellow River", of course. The premise is that the British are willing to defend their special interests south of the Yellow River.

"What kind of word games do we like to play, and this is the worst game. The real game is the rule game!"

When talking about the "rule game", Liang Dunyan deliberately aggravated his voice.

"If you become a rule-makers, then you have mastered the whole game!"

"Your Excellency, but our national strength is limited, and it is impossible to become a rule-makers at all, but can only operate within the rules formulated by others! And I'm afraid it's God's blessing to be treated equally!"

How can Cao Weiran not know what benefits the rule makers will bring, but as a weak country, it often only becomes the "participating party participating in the game" rather than the "participating the game" and even for weak countries, whether they can participate in the game equally can be said to be difficult.

"Then we need to master the rules of the game and take advantage of the other party's loopholes to find the possibility of tearing up the agreement in the future. Of course, it can also be to prevent the other party from tearing up the agreement."

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?"

Cao Weiran realized that the purpose of the minister's words was not just to tell himself what the essence of diplomacy was, but to have other meanings.

"In order to avoid losing money in the treaty, we must learn and understand the rules set by Westerners, so..."

There were some smiles on his face, Liang Dunyan said with a smile.

"The department is going to send a few staff to study abroad. How about it? Are you interested in going to the UK?"

"Adult..."

The minister's arrangement surprised Cao Wei, but at the same time, he was more moved. If he knelt down at the time, perhaps he would immediately kneel down and thank his understanding. The adult's arrangement was actually to let himself temporarily study abroad to solve his father's "threat".

"Okay!"

Seeing that Cao Weiran's face was full of emotion, Liang Dunyan waved his hand.

"Choose a dress and prepare for tonight's dance. You should also see the demeanor of diplomats from various countries! What a rare opportunity! Maybe you can meet other people!"

Liang Dunyan winked at Cao Weiran, because it is not difficult for diplomats from all over the world, as well as those famous young ladies at the dance. For these young people, they may meet their amiers there.

Under the bright electric lights, the royal courtyard on Zijin Mountain presents a light all night. The whole lawn of the garden is surrounded by hedges everywhere except for the French tree walls, and the flowers are as big as artificial fake flowers. Delicate roses, elegant peonies, and flowers are scattered like tassels.

And on the open-air stage, the cheerful sound of orchestral music, as if it was an uncontrollable whisper of happiness, drifting over for a moment. This was a royal reception. At the suggestion of the queen, representatives from all walks of life, celebrities and diplomats from various countries in Nanjing were invited to attend the reception.

And this reception has a sense of ostentatiousness. After all, from any point of view, with the issuance of the Chinese Joint Communique, anyone can see that the party taking advantage of it is China. Although China's mainstream media, even the emperor himself does not care about it, and even some radical They think it is a national shame, but it does not prevent them from celebrating this "victory" in another way.

For representatives and celebrities from all walks of life across the country, the Royal Ball is the best stage to expand the circle of friends, make friends with people from all walks of life, and improve their personal identity. For diplomatic missions in China, the Royal Ball is also a diplomatic ceremony.

Li Yijing, who grew up abroad since childhood, of course, has received dance training, but she has been participating in the so-called dance party, especially in this kind of formal occasion, which is not what she likes. Even to some extent, she is disgusted with this kind of dance, so on the way, answering her father's questions from time to time, always Absent-minded.

"It's nothing more than a group of people flattering there!"

Li Yijing, who was originally not interested in the dance, came to the open-air dance venue of the Royal Bieyuan. When the dance party had already started, and she encountered something as soon as she came in, she couldn't help but feel nauseous. As soon as she entered the dance, she met a slightly fat official. His eyes looked at Li Yijing inadvertedly. Li Yijing is dressed in a rose-colored Chinese evening dress, and her whole body looks delicate. Perhaps because she sprinkled perfume, her whole body exudes of fragrance. Needless to say, this dress, coupled with the flashing wild eyes in Li Yijing's eyes, can be said to show the beauty of modern Chinese girls vividly. These girls When wearing elegant and noble modern Hanfu, it can always make people stunned.

"A smile!"

Looking at the young girl entering the dance with her family, Yuan Shikai, who was also late to show that he was busy with his business, couldn't help admiring. At this time, another young man in a white navy uniform hurriedly passed by Li Yijing. He subconsciously turned around and glanced at her back in astonishment.

Then he took care of the teaching belt thoughtfully. He had seen this woman.

"That is Lord Yuan, that is Lord Zhang, that is..."

After entering the dance, Li Fengze introduced those officials to his daughter from time to time. As the manager of Tianma Automobile Company, he has "Your Majesty's agent". He also knows the people in the officialdom very well. After taking his daughter to the dance, he introduced those people to his daughter from time to time, so that when greeting them, his daughter did not It's rude.

When she was having a boring socializing with her father, Li Yiqing once again turned her eyes to the protagonists of the dance - Your Majesty and the Queen. Her Majesty in a naval uniform wore several medals on her chest. Next to him was the queen in a light yellow Confucian skirt. From afar, the queen did have a The two of them stood side by side and greeted the guests gracefully.

"See Your Majesty, Queen!"

When Li Fengze saluted, when Chen Moran saw the girl next to the manager of his car company, there was a slightest exclamation on his face in an instant. The woman seemed to have seen her somewhere.

Although his expression changed for a moment, he could not escape Li Yijing's eyes. And her easy-going father, with a smile on his face, happily introduced his daughter to His Majesty and the Queen in a few words. As for Li Yijing, she was half shy and half proud. At the same time, she won the queen's favor in an instant with her skillful Western-style communication.

"Your Majesty, the American Ambassador has arrived"

"Qing'er, let's go there together!"

Ji, with a smile on her face, took Li Yiqing's hand at the right time and led her towards the group of gorgeous women. At this time, on the lawn around the stage, there are all the ladies waiting to be invited to dance. The lace, flowers and ivory fans on their bodies are like silent waves surging in the refreshing smell of perfume. This small group of people are all girls of the same age, wearing the same light cyan and light blue dresses. Chinese people like elegant clothes. When those girls saw the queen leading a beautiful girl, they were surprised and guessed the identity of the girl one after another.

"...There, it's just the life of the front-line soldiers, and I can't talk about wisdom..."

After his wife left, he talked with diplomats from all over the world and said politely that as the master, this was the first time to be proud from the bottom of his heart. After all, it was himself who took advantage of this battle.

"Your Majesty, President Ito and Ambassador Zhiyi have arrived!"

A naval officer walked behind Chen Moran and said softly.

Hearing that it was Hirofumi Ito, Chen Moran's face suddenly smiled. Before the start of the dance, he had received a report from the Admiralty. More than 30,000 people from two divisions and one brigade landed in Taiwan from 10:15 a.m. in six ports, including Kaohsiung, Keelung and Tamsui. By the evening, two army divisions and one navy The land brigade has completed the landing of troops, and the heavy equipment will be shipped to Taiwan overnight.

Tomorrow, this news can be announced nationwide. The reason why it is so smooth is that it has been successfully implemented with the help of Hirofumi Ito.

Although they destroyed and burned when they left, they really thought that they could scare themselves by those small actions. In a province of the mainland, they often only need to send a thousand civil affairs officials, but this time the Ministry of the Interior prepared 3,000 civil affairs officials and technicians from other industries for Taiwan.

Stealing chickens will not erode the rice! That little thought can hide it from me! With a little complacency in his expression, perhaps because of his complacency, Chen Moran took the initiative to greet Ito Hirofumi with a smile, but when he saw the benefit of Ito Hirofumi beside him, he frowned.

Chen Moran is extremely disgusted with this ambassador in China. Historically, he forced Yuan Shikai to sign Article 21 with the "threat of declaration of war". Even a few days ago, when he submitted the national letter, he was also full of pride. What the hell.

That is, these steps have been taken. When Hirofumi Ito and Sayi salute to him, Chen Moran still frowned slightly, but he replied with courtesy, but he realized that Sayi snorted coldly, and there was a trace of unhappiness on his face. At this moment, Liang Dunyan led Cao Weiran over.

"Your Majesty!"

When he followed the minister's salute, he noticed the contempt in his eyes when he looked at his majesty. This disrespectful look only made Cao Wei angry. Seeing that he was half shorter than Ito, the corners of his lips raised.

"Yo, isn't this Zhiyi?"

Cao Weiran took the initiative to salute.

"In today's occasions, all countries are sent by prominent gentlemen, and the ladies are also like blooming flowers, but looking around the audience, it seems that only your Excellency is the smallest. Are the people in your country as short as yours!"

When Cao Weiran said this, he even deliberately said it loudly in standard Oxford English. Sure enough, when he said so, the people around him turned their eyes to the benefits at the same time. Several blonde women nearby even deliberately considered the benefits with the eyes of the eyes, and then laughed from the voices of women and men. It was sent out.

"Sir, your height..."

Gu Siyev, the assistant counselor of the Russian Embassy, fell into the well and walked to the embarrassed face. He deliberately drew his height, and then there was a burst of ridicule in English.

"Such a short man, wearing a tuxedo, like... Well, gentlemen, do you look like a monkey in the circus!"

While the laughter sounded, the approval sounded at the same time. Although it is not appropriate to make such a joke on such an occasion, who would mind the joke at the dance?

"I'm sorry!"

He, who was seriously frustrated with his self-esteem, straightened his chest to make his body straight. At the same time, he glared at Cao Weiran, who provoked him and caused this "joke". From now on, he really hates this damn Chinese.

"I am indeed short, but there are also tall people. Although there are tall and burly people like you, they are called straw bags or people with simple minds and limbs in our country. People like this must not be entrusted with national affairs!"
