Chapter 40
Churchill and DeClaudale, plus Tang Yunyang, Bengulian, and Gorda Meier, the five people are in a very slow and often deviate from the topic.
This made the British envoy Churchill a little anxious. The current problem is not just the problem of what benefits can Tang Yunyang be given. The problem is that the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Legion who were trapped on the Iranian plains, without food, bullets, and oil.
They may be completely defeated in a charge of the Thunder International armored forces, or in an ubiquitous bombing. They may even be starved to death by the Thunder International soldiers.
Churchill believed that as long as Thunder International was willing, Iraq was now a piece of fat in their mouths. No one could stop their invasion there, and even the French colonial government in Syria had declared that it would not intervene in this war again.
At the same time, he was a little confused. This time, the Eighth Legion mobilized nearly 5 divisions of armored troops and infantrymen with several divisions. With radar and part of the air superiority, he was still defeated by "Thunder International".
"It's incredible, what kind of bastards are my God!"
Looking at the blood-red desert sunset shooting through the bright glass window outside the tall ruling building in Zion City, he was immersed in his mind. He did not pay any attention to where the uncontrollable and nonsense negotiations were going.
"Oh, have you seen it? Our negotiations seem a bit dull and boring. Sirs, let's take a break. By the way, just like Mr. Churchill, who has a strong feeling of beauty, enjoy the sunset in the desert. Especially I urge you to taste the quick coffee I brought from the Federation of China. Oh, it's really delicious! "
The nonsense negotiations were like a few people chatting with Tang Yunyang in a bored manner. However, except for him, everyone else had some demands in their hearts. They were all worried that they could not obtain the other party's consent.
Gorda Meier looked at the silhouette of Jean Yunyang. Although she felt impatient with the long-term negotiations, she did not talk about the substantive issues of the matter. But she knew very well that all the situation was in the control of this silent person.
The sunset in the desert looks round and lovely. Dusk is also the favorite time period for people living in the desert. It is not the hot spring during the day, leaving people with nowhere to hide. It is not the unacceptable cold after the night comes.
The refraction of the sunlight causes the ground to form a rolling airflow. In this air lang, cars and pedestrians are all slightly distorted like in a haha mirror.
Zion, as the newly emerging city in Palestine, has become the highlight of this desert. There are steeple mosques and Jewish teachings. Due to freedom of belief, the ethnic conflicts here are far less intense than those that occur in other regions.
In a neat city, a huge fountain runs a thick stream of spring water towards the sky. The bright water droplets are like pearls. In the desert, this is the most luxurious beauty. In the desert, where water is more precious than oil, the city of Zion can actually build a city with fountains, which is a strong attraction for the Arabs who yearn for moistness.
Looking at these, Churchill immediately thought of the information he had read. Wind generators stand everywhere on the coast of the Chinese Federation more than 20,000 kilometers. However, the Chinese Federation does not use equipment such as batteries. Instead, a storage tank with pressure-resistant hydrogen and oxygen solved the problem.
"These are no doubt just wastewater discharged from gas-using thermal power plants, but these are the purest water, and for the desert, this is the promised land of life."
Unlike Britain and French colonists who seized resources and forced management, the Chinese Federation is making everyone who is willing to get close to them rich and powerful. Just like Ethiopia, which now has completely leaned towards the Chinese Federation, a wealthy life is why these countries welcome the Chinese Federation's military bases.
"I'm afraid the world has undergone tremendous changes. Only those of us who stay in London and who are noisy all day long will not feel the change in this world. Only those who are in parliament and noisy will make a foolish mistake again and again!"
"Don't provoke the Chinese Federation, don't give them a chance to invade!"
This is a question that people like Churchill often talk about when they make suggestions to the government. However, this kind of person is not welcome enough among the upper class people in European countries.
"This will be a long-standing thinking that will not change until a specific time!"
Looking at the sunset, Churchill thought that so many had almost swallowed half of the cigar. While throwing the cigar butts, his head slightly turned to Tang Yunyang standing beside him.
"General, I think you should give us a specific condition. I hope you can trust me. Especially, when the sun sets, breaking the last light of an empire is definitely not a wise choice!"
Tang Yunyang instinctively held a disgust towards the threat. Although this threat came from the British wartime prime minister whom he admired since childhood. Although he had stubbornness and impatience and mistakes with his deep hatred for the Bolsheviks, it is impossible to deny that his description of the "Iron Curtain" and the description of the "Cold War" were quite consistent.
"Mr. Churchill, you mean..."
Churchill did not avoid Tang Yunyang's cold, sword-like gaze. Reigniting a cigar was probably a reaction he expressed that he was not afraid at all.
"I mean, we don't have to pay any more precious time. We know the current situation of the Eighth Legion, and you can make the faces of Britain and France fall underground in front of everyone in the world at any time. You will even raise your foot and print a black, ugly footprint.
But what I want to tell you is that since the founding of the Federation of China, you have shown the world strong enough force and prestige. I think in the future world, we major powers should share the responsibility of the international community, rather than engage in this kind of battle for interests between each other. You must know that if other countries rise, it will not be a good thing for us and even the world.
Therefore, I suggest you can give up some small interests, and then we can all establish a frank way of dialogue. I think there will be no disputes with communication. General Tang, what I want to tell you is that this is not a plea. This is a formal invitation from two world powers together to you and your country!”
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Tang Yunyang looked at Churchill in front of him, and he was a little worried. This time, was the British and French the same as before?
"Mr. Churchill, I cannot help but say that your proposal sounds quite familiar to me. I believe that when the Chinese Federation was just established, I had heard of these words in the mouths of the President of the United States, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and the President of the French.
But what did we see? When the interests are at hand, everyone will do anything to make a big move. What even disappoints me is that when my airship is attacked and I am personally exiled to the snow and ice of the Arctic, the Chinese Federation will face the European Union.
My Mr. Churchill, who can I easily believe in with such an experience? Who should I believe in?"
Facing Tang Yunyang's questioning, Churchill pondered for a moment, but did not answer immediately.
He could see that the Federation of China would not easily make concessions in the face of interests in international politics. However, this old-fashioned power in the world would not be so easy to accept this new partner.
Therefore, a series of conflicts unfold internationally.
As for whether the Chinese Federation is willing to engage in such a conflict?
"They probably have made all preparations in their hearts. After all, a country that has once declined that wants to rise among major powers. If they do not show considerable strength, their interests and dignity will not be taken seriously by the strong! This kind of battle is probably just an indispensable part of the rise."
At this time, DeClaudale, who had been listening quietly, also came over. When he spoke in a low voice, Tang Yunyang truly felt the sincerity of Western countries for this negotiation.
"General Tang, please believe me. After so many misunderstandings and conflicts, we are willing to have sincere exchanges with the Federation of China, regardless of Britain or France. We even established negotiations between us to reduce trade barriers and introduce international competition into our countries. According to research, although trade competition will have a certain impact on the country's economy, it has a common promoting effect on the development of our all.
besides……"
Speaking of this, DeClaudale glanced at Churchill with his eyes, probably reminding him that he should take advantage of the "cost" that had been agreed upon by the British and French governments to start the negotiations and end the battle that might end even more miserable.
Tang Yunyang heard sincerity from the mouths of two diplomatic politicians. International politics was originally just an exchange of interests. So now, Britain and France should have understood their situation.
