Chapter 890 Uninvited
"Is this easy? If there were so many dignitaries to congratulate me when I got married, I would ride only one donkey, and I would be happy! When later generations talked about Meng Xiang's wedding, when it came to a simple Chinese wedding in which the bride was married in a carriage drawn by only eight white horses, some people refuted it with the statement that there was a big feast in three days.
Although it is said that the three-day banquet in that era was more than the three-two-table banquet of the ordinary people, it is not too exaggerated. In this era, the Chinese people attach much more importance to weddings and funerals than to later generations. Even for the rich landlords at the township level, it is normal for the big day to be held for three days.
What's more, many of the people at this big wedding came uninvited, and there was no way not to put it on for three days.
Those well-established figures in China, even at the level of ministers and governors, will not be uninteresting to move forward without invitations, but those guys abroad do not have this sophistication, and after receiving the news, they came one after another.
In this world, it is difficult to keep secrets that are not hung with the words "top secret".
Although Meng Xiang doesn't plan to tell ordinary civilians for the time being, he won't let his wedding evolve into a state wedding that is extravagant and wasteful and makes people very uncomfortable. But the news from abroad has already spread. Shrewd foreign reporters are the most drilled camps and collected this news first. Maybe by the time it gets to the newspaper, maybe later. But the intelligence brokers prompted by the war had already sold many copies of the news.
They may get the news later than the news of several major countries, but it can definitely make many foreign dignitaries hurriedly gather a gift, run to congratulate in time, and contact their feelings by the way.
The strength shown by China's attack on Soviet Russia in the north and Japan's attack in the south has become more and more like a big thick leg like a pole pillar of the world.
As a result, Meng Xiang's wedding had to be extended for three days, with guests who missed the first day.
Even the identity of these guests who mistook the first day of the low-key wedding surprised reporters from the outside world and the Chinese people who knew the news. As someone said in an envious tone: "None of these people are guests who can be invited casually with money." ”
And what some people don't understand is that the real foreign giants are still those who arrived on the first day.
In order not to cause a big wave of rendering, without straightening out these delicate situations. It was not reported in the media at all.
Wherever Lao Xi, Roosevelt, Churchill and others appeared, they would cause a shock everywhere, not to mention that they gathered at Meng Xiang's wedding banquet.
The giants of the first day were not only their three brightest stars.
De Gaulle also came. But at this time, he was not even the head of the government-in-exile recognized by the world, and he was not considered to be a position in the eyes of the world. I'm afraid it's not as formal as Foreign Minister Pondoué, who came to congratulate the French puppet government.
After the Germans completely conquered the whole of France, Petain was put in the air, Raifal was promoted as chancellor, and continued to exercise the functions of a puppet government, following the pace of the Germans.
But for the Chinese occupation of French Indochina, at least a statement. The Vichy government of France, which understood the meaning of the Germans, made some painless comments in an attempt to postpone the handling of the matter. But Foreign Minister Pondoué could not hold his breath.
After the establishment of the Vichy government, in the form of that time, many former French high-level officials did not come out, but some oligarchs and tycoons jumped out and became high-ranking officials.
Pondoué was previously President of the Bank of Indochina. Listening to the name, you can know that he is involved in the interests of French Indochina, and for France, although it is full of colonies, French Indochina is a jewel in their colonies, and economic interests involve more than one or two families. The interests of so many people are entangled, although they are forced by the French form at this time to take drastic action. But there are still people who don't give up and want to go to Huaxia to reason. …,
Pondouai was one of them, planning to bypass the Chinese diplomats who were also dragged out of the way, and take this opportunity to go directly to Meng Xiang's wedding to find the principal.
But Meng Xiang may still have a high opinion of De Gaulle. But he didn't raise his eyelids much, and after a few polite words, Lao Yan and Zong Li and others took over and flickered aside.
This time, because there were too many people who came to find Meng Xiang's theory directly. Meng Xiang had to arrange a lot of manpower to resist in advance, and even Tang Pharmacist personally went out so as not to delay Meng Xiang's auspicious time of spring dawn.
The Russians also sent representatives.
Stalin would never dare to run out at this time, he needed to sit at home and suppress the instability in the country with iron and blood. So he sent Khrushchev.
On such occasions, it is not appropriate for Timoshenko and other military personnel to go, and it is not appropriate for people from the intelligence services such as Beria to go. Khrushchev, who was born in the political commissar system, was able to exert his eloquence and other super skills, and was a suitable person in Stalin's mind to win over Chinese relations.
The intelligence departments of the Soviets and Russians were even more well-informed, and even the dignitaries of various countries secretly went to China to catch the slightest movement, especially the news that the Germans were going to show favor to China, which made Stalin a little anxious.
Seeing that the situation in Europe is improving, but if China is at this time, it will give the Soviet Russians another heavy blow in the back. Not to mention that the strategic intention of first settling Europe's troubles and then turning around to deal with China has no hope, I am afraid that even Europe's territory will not be protected under the attack from both sides.
Khrushchev also came with Stalin's entrustment.
"Comrade Khrushchev, at all costs, buy enough time! The people are looking forward to your good news! "For the sake of this strategic success, Stalin did not hesitate to let Khrushchev carry enough sugar-coated shells from the treasury.
Although it has been looted by Natasha and others once or twice, the national wealth collected by the Russians by integrating the power of the whole country is amazing.
In the previous life, even in the case of discounts, the Russians still had enough wealth to pay the arms bills of the British and Americans, as can be seen in the fact that they were able to compete with the West just after the end of World War II.
This time, Khrushchev carried enough sincerity. In their secret agreement with Huaxia, they have returned a large number of Chinese cultural relics. At this time, in the form of missing folk cultural relics, a large number was sent again. After two times, except for a very small number of unknown cultural relics scattered among the people, almost all the Chinese cultural relics in the possession of Soviet Russia have been scavenged.
In addition to these, even other cultural relics from the East, even including those from Central Asia and Southeast Asia, are also packaged together for gifts.
There was only one purpose, to destroy the possible alliance between the Huaxia and the Germans, and it would be better if the Huaxia and the Japanese could continue to fight in Southeast Asia. If it weren't for the fact that Soviet Russia needed Britain and the United States to relieve pressure on the Western Front, it would even wish that China and Britain and the United States would also fight in the south, but Stalin also knew that the relationship between Soviet Russia and Britain and the United States would not last long, and now it was necessary to bury the nails in advance, so as to wait for the European affair and let the British and American goals shift.
The Japanese also came.
The Japanese were slapped by Huaxia, which can be regarded as a little sober. I know I may never be able to retake Australia again.
Without Australia, there would be no empire's continental dream, guarding the island, facing the increasingly powerful China on their side, the Japanese must consider the relationship between the two in the future.
"We alone are not enough!" Even if Hideki Tojo doesn't say this, the Japanese top brass also understands it.
Even the Germans pulled Italy and other allies, while the Japanese were not pleasing everywhere and were alone. In the past, I used to think of arrogant efforts to confront China and Britain and the United States. Now the time has come for the Japanese to realize the need to shift their strategic intentions and look for their allies. …,
Among them, Huaxia is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
If relations with China were eased, they would be able to gain an alliance of the Germans and deal with the Central Powers together.
If they continue to fight with China, then the Japanese will need to consider making greater compromises with Britain and the United States.
"This is just an opportunity to test the minds of the Chinese people!" The Japanese, having received the news of Meng Xiang's wedding, decided to send a delegation to China.
Hirohito didn't dare to come in person, and those imperial relatives didn't dare to come, even Hideki Tojo and others didn't dare to come. Although the Chinese government may not have done anything directly to provoke these envoys, it may not have escaped the many "accidents".
Finally, the Speaker of the Privy Council, Kantaro Suzuki, took the initiative to invite Ying to come and celebrate.
Although many generals of the Japanese Navy in later generations were regarded as the protégés of this Suzuki Kantaro, although this Suzuki Kantaro was the last prime minister of Japan in World War II, although he did not have too many bad deeds against China as a pacifist faction, although he did not know that his second brother was the key person in the establishment of the Yasukuni Shrine, but Meng Xiang was still a little disappointed that the Japanese appeared at his wedding banquet.
Thanks to Shen Honglie and Chen Shaokuan, who caught Suzuki Kantaro for a while, and quickly put down these Japanese dwarfs who could only adapt to sake with Moutai mixed with two pot heads, so that Meng Xiang was not embarrassed for too long.
Through the analysis of the think tank, Meng Xiang has also roughly understood the purpose of many foreign leaders.
There are many things that Huaxia cannot make a clear decision in a short period of time, even if it is Japanese, Meng Xiang cannot directly push it to the side of Britain and the United States, so he can only drag it out.
At least on the first day, Meng Xiang escaped early with wine and went to enjoy his night. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
