Chapter 804 - Occupy the Rational Character
What happened in Yinjiang soon spread to Chongqing.
When the British ambassador to China, Carr, heard that Zhong Yi had detained nearly 100 officers and men of the British Royal Marines, he was so angry that he ignored even the minimum diplomatic etiquette, bypassed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government, and went directly to Yunxiu Tower to protest to President Chang in person, and threatened that if Zhong Yi was not severely punished, the British Government would resolutely take retaliatory action.
Principal Chang and Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui, who rushed to hear the news, had a good talk before sending Carl away.
As soon as Carl left, Principal Chang began to be furious as soon as he returned to the study, and even knocked over Shuotai.
Long before deciding to send Zhong Yi to Yinjiang, Principal Chang expected that after Zhong Yi arrived in Yinjiang, he would definitely not settle down, and he would definitely cause him unforeseen disasters.
However, Principal Chang still didn't expect that Zhong Yi would cause such a big disaster!
"Mother, Xipi! Niang Xipi! Niang Xipi! Principal Chang scolded Niang Xipi three times in a row, but his anger still did not subside, and he waved his fists and continued to roar, "Who gave him the courage to detain the officers and men of the Royal Marines of the British Empire?" As soon as they were detained, there were nearly 100 officers and soldiers, which was simply lawless and lawless! ”
Seriously, Principal Chang was really intimidated by Zhong Yi's performance.
For foreigners, Chang Gong has always been in awe, and he can't wait to be offered as gods, because foreigners not only have powerful forces in their hands that can destroy China, but also can send him a lot of dollars and pounds.
So in the Battle of Songhu last year, in order to win the sympathy of foreigners, he did not hesitate to fight out the fifty-nine elite divisions!
But now, under his rule, there is a lawless guy like Zhong Yi, who dares to trample foreigners under his feet and rub them against him, is this still necessary?
Once Lord Yang is angry, the government can't bear it! It's unbearable!
Especially now that the government is still begging grandpa to sue grandma for borrowing money from foreigners, if there is such a thing, can foreigners still lend money to the national government? Go for your dreams!
Thinking of this, Principal Chang really exploded in his lungs.
This Zhong Yi is really not worry-free!
Lin Wei, who was standing on the side, didn't dare to breathe! If nothing else, he was also afraid of the British.
In fact, these high-ranking generals of the Nationalist Government, one of them counts as one, and they are all afraid of foreigners to the core.
At that moment, Lin Wei whispered: "Principal, Ziren's actions are indeed too reckless, the British Empire is the number one military power in the world today, and even Little Japan does not dare to take it lightly, how can we provoke China?" ”
Principal Chang said hatefully: "Didn't I ask you to send him a telegram a long time ago? Did you send a telegram? ”
"The telegram has been sent." Lin Wei said bitterly, "But he said that there was a mistake in the middle, and when he received the telegram from the attendant's room, everyone had already detained, and the matter was irreparable!" ”
Everyone knows that this is just Zhong Yi's excuse, but he doesn't admit it at all, what can you do?
"Don't talk about that." Principal Chang waved his hand, suddenly felt a little headache in his head, and immediately kneaded his temples and said, "Now let's think about how to calm the anger of the British." ”
"I'm afraid there's nothing too good to do." Lin Wei said, "I can only meet their requirements as much as possible, first of all, Ziren, the mayor of Yinjiang, I am afraid that he will not be able to go down now, otherwise, he may cause some greater disasters; Second, the detained Royal Marines must be released as soon as possible, and finally, the Foreign Office may have to apologize publicly. ”
At this time, Wang Chonghui suddenly said: "Principal, I have different opinions on my humble position, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”
"Bright Domain." Principal Chang stomped his foot and said, "The situation has gotten so bad, what else can't you say?" ”
"That's exactly what the lowly wants to say, maybe the situation is not as bad as we think." Wang Chonghui said, "Because Britain has adopted a policy of appeasement without a bottom line, conniving at Japan's aggression against China in Asia, Germany's annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland in Europe, and Italy's aggression against Ethiopia in Africa, it will not win the support of the British government at all if it blindly curries favor with Britain. ”
"What do you mean?" Principal Chang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Liangchou, can you explain it a little more?" ”
"The meaning of lowly office is very simple, now Britain is permeated with peace hedonism, and has no intention of getting caught up in any war, so as long as we occupy a reason, the British government will not send troops at all!" Wang Chonghui said, "What's more, with the current situation, Britain just wants to send troops, is Japan willing to agree?" ”
"Definitely not!" Lin Wei said, "Little Japan already regards China as fat in its mouth, and it is definitely unwilling to spit it out!" ”
"That's it." Wang Honghui said, "So, as long as we occupy a rational character, we don't have to worry about retaliation at all!" ”
"Not this." Principal Chang waved his hand and said, "Liang Chou, you haven't said yet, what does the windfall mean?" ”
"As for this windfall?" Wang Chonghui deliberately paused when he said this, and then said, "Didn't the principal deliberately send Hu Shi as the ambassador to the United States, and sent Mr. Guangfu to the United States to negotiate the loan?" ”
"Yes." Principal Chang nodded, and said blankly, "Is there a relationship between the two?" ”
"Perhaps." Wang Chonghui said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, the reason why the US government has always refused to lend to the government is that domestic isolationism is one of the reasons, but the main reason is that the US country does not believe that we can withstand the Japanese attack, so it is not willing to invest in a business that is bound to fail." ”
Lin Wei said blankly: "But this still has nothing to do with Ziren's reckless behavior in Yinjiang?" ”
"Why not?" Wang Chonghui shook his head and said, "The government still dares to show toughness to the world's number one hegemon in such a bad situation, which is enough to prove the indomitable will of our nation, I don't know how much of a role this can play, but it is foreseeable that it will definitely have an impact on the final decision-making of the US government." ”
Principal Chang immediately began to think about it in his heart.
After a long time, Principal Chang asked Wang Chonghui, "Liang Chou, then do you think we can take advantage of it?" ”
Asking this sentence shows that President Chang has made up his mind to be tough with the British government to the end, of course, the premise is that the Chinese government can occupy a reason, otherwise everything is empty talk.
Wang Chonghui said: "Yes, as long as Mayor Zhong finds a Japanese spy in Jiangbei, we will take advantage of it!" ”
"Azure!" Principal Chang immediately turned around and instructed Lin Weidao, "Call the Yinjiang City Government immediately and let Zhong Yi find the Japanese spy lurking in Jiangbei at all costs!" ”
