Chapter 348 348 The cunning fox can also be a diplomat
As soon as the fox's words fell, Frederick IX burst out laughing: "Miss Lin is really as interesting as the rumors, I have seen it today." β
The fox laughed, and then she turned to look at Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, who was standing next to Frederick IX, a little ahead of Frederick IX, to be exact, but ignored by the fox.
"Oooh!" At this moment, the fox seemed to be possessed by Oh-chan, and let out a series of onomatopoeia. Immediately after that, she ignored everyone's gaze and began to circle around the queen, unabashedly looking the queen up and down with greedy eyes, and after a circle, she stepped forward coldly and stretched out her hands to grab Margrethe II's breast.
Margrethe II's expression faltered for a moment, but she immediately steadied, and then glared at the fox with a cold gaze, although it was a "star", but there was no hatred or other factor in that gaze, as if she was simply driving the muscles around her eyes to widen her eye sockets, and then locked the focus of her gaze on the fox's forehead.
The fox seemed to be intrigued by Margaret's expression, and she stared at Margaret as if she were buying meat at the vegetable market, as if estimating its weight.
The eyes of the war-girl behind Margrethe II were already on fire, if she hadn't been able to defeat the fox, and it was now a very important diplomatic occasion, otherwise she would have rushed up and knocked the fox away.
But then the fox let go of Margaret's breast, turned to Frederick IX, and said, "Your daughter happens to be the type my husband likes, and she will come back to Potsdam with me at the end of my visit." β
"Are you sure you want to do this?" The smile on Frederick IX's face was as bright as the fox's smile, "My daughter is very powerful, and after she joins Mr. Lin Youde's court, your position will soon be snatched away." β
Frederick IX deliberately put an accent on the word "court", but the fox ignored it: "Okay, good, it's too harmonious in Sanssouci Palace now, I'm about to have a problem, it's just right to come and fight with me, it's a great welcome!" β
The fox's words caused Frederick IX to laugh heartily again, and after laughing he changed his attitude abruptly and said, "That is impossible." My daughter can only marry someone who is not married yet, be a wife, and be a lover or a concubine like this, don't even think about it! Like Lin Youde, a flowery radish hugging left and right, if you want to marry my daughter, step over my corpse! β
"Haha, you and my family must have a common language." The fox reached out and patted Frederick IX on the shoulder.
By this time, the cargo ship carrying her had finally approached the shore, and Gobel took unusual measures, jumping onto the dock with his entourage without waiting for the ship to stop, and ran in the direction of the fox.
When the fox heard the footsteps behind her, she also changed her serious expression, she coughed lightly, and was about to speak to Frederick IX, but suddenly remembered that Frederick IX was now the emperor, and his daughter was the nominal head of state. So she took a step to the side, stood in front of the real Danish Queen, and cleared her throat.
At this time, Gobel led a group of people to run behind the fox, desperately adjusting their breathing.
The fox didn't care whether Gobel was ready or not, she stretched out her hand directly to Her Majesty the Queen of Denmark.
Margrethe II's expression did not change much, and she grasped the fox hand with a free movement, as if nothing had just happenedβshe was not offended by the fox, and her breasts were not weighed up and down by the fox as if it were a meat sale.
The moment the two shook hands, the Danish military band began to play a majestic welcome song.
Behind the queen, Captain Senki still stared at the fox with fire-breathing eyes.
But then the fox seemed to turn off a switch, and all the expressions seemed to be in order, and she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and the unexpected behavior when she first jumped off the boat was as if there was no such thing as a thing.
**
After the welcome ceremony and reception banquet had passed, the two sides finally sat down at the negotiating table that afternoon.
"Uh," the fox looked around the room, "His Royal Highness Frederick IX is in ......"
"I am the Queen of Denmark." Margrethe II, who was attacked by a fox in the morning, said to the fox in a calm tone, "Although the outside world says that my father is the regent, in fact, Denmark is now in my decision." β
"Why do I think your father is just deliberately showing it to the delegates of the Nordic countries attending the conference?"
"If you think so, then I will terminate this meeting at once, and you can see my father at the ball tonight, and you can have a good chat with him over a drink."
Margaret's voice was flat and unsettled, and it was a mess.
"Oh~" The fox showed an expression of discovering a new continent, "I didn't expect your dad to say the truth, you are really more powerful than I thought." β
"Thank you for the compliment."
"But," the fox leaned forward and propped his hands on the table, "my husband has always believed that the outcome of the negotiation table depends on the outcome of the negotiation table long before the negotiation begins, and that all that can be done at the negotiation table is fine-tuning. The reason why some negotiations are extremely difficult is because the two sides are similar in strength and both want to fight for as many rights and interests as possible, while negotiations like this are generally fruitless, and then the two sides will see each other on the battlefield. β
As he spoke, the fox tapped lightly on the table, not hiding his arrogance at all.
"My husband wants to form a spontaneous alliance, but I am not as naΓ―ve as he is, I know that the so-called spontaneity is based on the interests of the state, and it is a kind of expression after weighing interests."
In fact, Lin Youde also thinks so, but at this time, the fox obviously intends to let Lin Youde, who is not present, "sing white face", so as to dress himself up as an extremely pragmatic guy.
"If Denmark does not join our alliance, you will be prepared to face a situation like France. If we don't have to do anything, the Danish people, especially the young people, will push the Danish government to the edge of the precipice. Because you can't give them better jobs, more money, to buy radios, to buy motorcycles, to buy all the other things. We've already introduced young Danish people to the outside world through films, and you can no longer limit them to the self-sufficient agrarian economy that they are now living in. And the businessmen and capitalists of your country are also desperately hoping for change, hoping to break the old economic system. β
"That's right," said Margaret, grabbing the gap between the fox's breathing, and inserted neatly, "and you Germany will provide them with the weapons they need for change, right?" β
"We've given them the weapons they need for change." The fox's words caused a stir in the auditorium where the representatives of the Nordic countries were seated, and the fox glanced at them, and continued, "This weapon is the idea of pan-humanism, and the related methods of struggle. Look at Serbia, although we have provided them with some weapons, we will definitely not be able to arm so many partisans, they are robbing the Russians of weapons to fight the Russians, and I think the young people of Denmark will do the same. β
At this time, the Danish general, who was sitting next to Margrethe II, said: "Denmark is not a mountainous terrain like Serbia, and our country has many water systems, which are separated by straits and divided into two parts, and the Serbian method will not succeed." β
"Yes, it won't work," the fox nodded in acknowledgement, "but those enthusiastic young people don't think about it, don't you realize that when the revolution breaks out in your country, you have already been hit hard, and the bloodshed will greatly reduce the prestige of the government, and at the same time lead to social chaos and the withering of people's livelihoods." By that time you will be in a terrible economic and financial situation, and you will have to turn to find solutions to these problems. You can only accept our terms, reform internally, and open trade barriers to us. β
There was a moment of silence at the negotiating table, and Margrethe II bowed her head.
The fox cocked Erlang's legs and looked at her with little interest.
But Margrethe II did not speak for a long time, so the fox continued: "You may really be capable of fighting me for three hundred rounds, but alas, this time you are facing my husband. All this he had planned in 1933. β
This is, of course,, but the advantage of the fox is that he lies without blinking his eyes, and when he brags, his skin is thicker than the city walls.
Margrethe II finally raised her head and looked at the fox.
"I admit that you have a point, we have indeed reached the point where we have to reform, in fact, even if there is no doctrine and popular culture from Germany, we have already reached the point where we have to reform, and my father has long since discovered this and tried to implement some reforms, but the conservative aristocracy has blocked them, so he will retreat into the background early."
Frederick IX is now only a little over forty, and according to the average age of the political family, he is in the prime of life. It is indeed inappropriate to go to the emperor early, and it stands to reason that in a country like Denmark, where male status is rare, he should continue to work for ten years, and wait for the current Margrethe II to accumulate ten years of apprenticeship experience by his side before passing on the throne to his daughter.
"There's another thing." The fox fox had an expression that had just heard something new, but in fact, her Odin Eye had already grasped the relevant information, "That's really miserable." In fact, when we carried out reforms in Germany, we also encountered resistance from the conservatives, and at first we endured it, and then when we couldn't bear it anymore, we just clicked and the world was clean. β
With his own words, the fox made a gesture to wipe his neck.
The high-ranking Danish officials sitting next to the Queen of Denmark looked at each other.
It seems that there are also those who oppose the reform, and there are quite a few of them.
Then Margaret added: "In spite of all these reasons, I cannot bear to make my country a client state of Germany. β
"We will guarantee the independence of your country...... I want to say this," the fox leaned forward, her chest pressed against the table, and she stared at Margrethe II with mockery on her face, "see the situation in the world, miss. A new European war is just around the corner, and even if there is no war between Germany and Great Britain, Russia will invade Europe, do you think Russia will let Denmark go when Germany is defeated? Is it more intimate than Slavic Russian or German, which is the same Germanic language as Danish? β
Without waiting for Margrethe II to answer, the fox turned to the representatives of the Nordic countries: "And everyone, Russia has been conducting exercises on the Finnish border several times, and every time the artillery on the Russian army training ground is fired, you can't sit still, right?" No, when Peter the Great moved the Russian capital to the Gulf of Finland and established St. Petersburg, you were already on your laurels. The Russians have two straits that they dream of controlling, one is the Turkish strait between the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea, including the Dardanelles, the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara, for which they fought a Crimean War and two Turkish wars, both of which ended in failure, and a fool should know that this path does not work. So they had to look at another channel. β
The fox turned to Margrethe II: "Unfortunately, Denmark is right on the second outlet to the sea that the Russians have dreamed of, and the island of Zealand, where your capital is located, is right in the middle of the Russian waterway to the North Sea!" β
"We can seek British protection!" Margrethe II did not give up.
"Yes, but do you believe that Britain will protect you? They have fleet protection and peace of mind at sea! What does it have to do with them that you perish and perish? And Germany, like you, must face the fangs of Russia, in fact, we Germany are the fattest meat in front of Russia, we must first protect ourselves, and this self-preservation action can protect Denmark. Your Majesty, you're smart, you can't fail to see this, do you? β
Margaret stared at the fox, and finally she nodded.
"You're right." She put down the pen she had been holding in her hand, "The result of this negotiation has been determined before it begins. β
