Chapter 68: See the profiteers again
Gu Weijun was dressed in a straight suit, and next to him was the Minister of Economic Affairs Mike. Lang, if Gu Weijun still looks somewhat solemn, then Mike, who is smoking a cigar. Lang, alive and well, is like an old Mike wolf with his teeth bared. ≥8≯1 ≤<<.≦8<1≦Z<<. Looking at the expression on his face, Gu Weijun couldn't help but worry about the British minister and his attachés who had come here to wait for negotiations a long time ago. When the old wolf bared his teeth, it showed that he had seen what he was most interested in - money. And in the heavy information he was carrying, it could also be seen that he had made full preparations in order to maximize his interests. When they arrived at the specially prepared conference room for negotiations, the humming of the conversation suddenly fell silent, and the British Minister and his attachés, who had been talking to each other, remained upright again. "Although they are still trying to maintain their dignity, today he does not dare to yell at us and threaten to use force!" Gu Weijun, who walked into the conference room, straightened his chest, and suddenly he realized that the scene in front of him was likely to go down in history. This is the first time that China has stepped into the negotiation hall as a victor after nearly a century of humiliation. When they entered the room, the British Minister stood up with his entourage and showed their respect. "Dignity comes from courage, battle and victory!" When the two sides saluted, Gu Weijun vaguely thought of the reason why Tang Yunyang had told him why he wanted to build an iron army first and then return to China. "And those Westerners only respect the strong, and they are the strong who dare to fight, so our traditional idea of a state of etiquette, when there is no strong force as the basis, is just a kind of castle in the air and the emperor's new clothes! Poor domestic guys, none of them know the truth of the exhibition, what kind of bullshit tricks to play, you play slowly, we won't wait! ” People up and down the current "Qindao regime", whether they are in high positions like Gu Weijun and others, or those ordinary people who listen to radio broadcasts every day, have begun to look down on leaders in other parts of the country. This includes Zhang Huaizhi and his considerable number of subordinates who were caught and convicted by the local court in the form of combined punishment for several crimes, including robbery, **, drug trafficking, and treason. They have now left this world and are sent to a dark, terrible hell. "Haha, Mr. Minister, we meet again, believe me, this meeting has long been expected by me. I remember the last time we met, I said that you are so stubborn! Now, you should thank us for the many kind things we have to say about you and your government here! ” Today it is better to pay a certain price, and the British minister who won the armistice is like a defeated rooster. Faced with the defeat of the British Empire's navy, and the whole of India, which was ready to rebel, he had to make the necessary concessions, although he still hoped that one day he could regain the situation. "Yes, gentlemen, I sincerely apologize for my attitude when we last met, and thank them for reminding us at the time that if we had accepted that friendly offer at that time, this misunderstanding might not have come to this point." As a professional diplomat, Gu Weijun will not argue about these so-called face-saving things, and he will pay more attention to the actual results of the negotiations. But Mike. That's not the case with the old wolf. "Well, my ambassador, how do you intend to thank me, since you know how much my kind offer has done you well? I think so, give us back Hong Kong! ” Mike. Lang's words immediately exposed his naked profit-seeking, what verbal thanks, they are as worthless as bullshit, in his eyes, except for the territory is money, otherwise what kind of thanks! "Ah, this ......" The British minister was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect that his only two words of "thanks" would be infinitely magnified to this extent by this guy. "Mike. Mr. Lang, you see, my expression to you is only a personal expression of my gratitude, and your understanding is obviously ......" Who knows, he was killed by Mike. Lang caught the words and immediately turned into a sharp weapon, which was used by this guy who had always slandered himself as a "profit-seeking businessman". "Why, Mr. Minister, are you only representing yourself? Oh this is so unfortunate, Mr. Gu, I thought that the British Empire was sincere in negotiating, it seems that I was completely wrong. Since Mr. Minister only represents himself, I don't think we need to talk any further, what do we have to talk about with him personally? ” A wrong word, immediately by Mike. Lang, a profitable and unrighteous fellow, was pressing forward step by step, and the situation of the British Legation, which had fallen behind when the war was not going well, was even more unpleasant. But now, people can afford to drag it. For every minute that drags on, the whole of India is destabilized for every minute, and the losses in Calcutta are added for one more minute. When it comes to the interests of the British Empire in the East, they would rather lose China than India, which they have taken full control at great cost. Of course, Gu Weijun is not as good as Mike. The old wolf immediately withdrew from the meeting as proposed, and as agreed at the time of coming, one of the two of them was "red-faced" and the other was "white-faced". The "white face" of the old wolf is bound to make the British legation very uncomfortable today. Negotiations continue in this kind of contest, and if Gu Weijun's progress does not go well, Mike. The old wolf would jump out and give him a burst of nonsense, opening his mouth to either ask Britain to hand over India or Britain to return Hong Kong. In particular, when talking about the conditions for restitution, when he opened his mouth to ask for money, he was like a usury businessman, who did not give up. "Look, Mr. Minister, you are a big man, and your words of war have brought our construction to a standstill, and we have lost so much money!" With Mike. The old wolf's mouth was hanging, and his assistant gave the other party a thick stack of materials. Turning the page, the page is a due to the closure of the vegetable market, resulting in the public body intake too little vitamins, resulting in the increase in drug costs, and at the same time because of their physical discomfort caused by sick leave and misoperation. Lang calculated the loss of 10,000 pounds. If you think about it carefully, you will find that this money-loving guy actually has a large amount of data as a basis when calculating this kind of data. As an informed Gu Weijun, he knew that Mike. The old wolf has a very natural talent for fraud in this area. The fact that these so-called data were fabricated by him is reasonable and accurate, and it simply does not make one doubt the authenticity of these losses. You can imagine that only the loss of the suspension of the construction of the vegetable market, but the suspension of the construction of the seaport? How many vegetable markets are there in Shandong, how many projects are there, including those that have just been marked with lime in the ground, you can get the same thing, Mike. Lang, how big is this lion's big mouth. Face Mike. The old wolf's lion opened his mouth, and the British minister appeared, what kind of guys did he provoke. Even if he is arrogant and unreasonable, but today, as the defeated side, he has lost all his advantages, and he cannot drag on the negotiations for too long. In this difficult situation, they had to put little by little benefits into Mike. Lang's pocket. "Let's read the literature network together, please support genuine reading, and support the author's creation" Don't laugh at a group: 35761481; Mailbox:; "I protest, it's not fair!" Someone slapped the table, and of course it wasn't much appreciated by Mike. The old wolf bullied the British minister, this is Mike. The old wolf himself. After slapping the table, he stood up, pressed his hands on the table and roared, like a lion in power. "The return of Hong Kong is to eradicate these things, which is impossible, absolutely impossible. Aren't our engineering losses, our huge military expenditures worth calculating? There is still a basis for compensation for the war between our two countries, so let's discuss it according to this standard! ” Talking, in Mike. At the old wolf's gesture, his assistant took out a thicker stack of materials that stunned the British. It's okay that they don't look at the cover, but after they see the cover, they know what the gang in front of them is going to do. The Treaty of Nanking was the main basis for enabling the British government to obtain the best and most favorable treatment in China, such as the five-port trade, the cession of Hong Kong, the extortion of claims, the agreement of tariffs, the interference of the judiciary, and free trade. Mike. The old wolf bared his teeth, and the smile on his face was like that of a businessman in the purest form: "Let's do things according to the rules, what do you think?" ” "This, this...... These are issues left over from history, can we solve them slowly in other negotiations? See, we have made huge concessions this time, and even agreed to return Hong Kong to the 'Qindao regime', and while we have paid so much, please show more sincerity, or ......" Mike who pulled the tailwind flag. The old wolf interrupted him: "Or else? How about not, how about we continue the war? We don't care, anyway, our economic construction has been interrupted by you, since we have become poor eggs, then let's play like this together, we don't care! ” Faced with the bare threat of war, the British minister was disillusioned, and he knew he could not accept it. The loss of all of India would be unbearable for the British Empire in any case, as it would likely lead to the collapse of the British government, which was already overburdened with war finances. Look at Mike. The old wolf's "white face" has already sung to the level of "wow, yes", and Gu Weijun estimated that it was almost there, and he threw out the conditions for preparation. This condition included the immediate return of Hong Kong, the compensation of 10 million pounds for the military expenses incurred by the Chinese National Defense Forces in the war, and the immediate commencement of negotiations between the two countries on other issues left over from history, including the abrogation of the unequal treaties and the total compensation for the losses caused to China as a result of these treaties.
