...Now, in Washington.
In Secretary of State Crichton's conference room, Crichton occasionally glanced sideways at the silent Ming ambassador.
Dong Kun, the diplomat who had accompanied Zuo Zongtang on inspection trips to Europe and the United States, had anger on his face at this time.
This anger is undisguised!
The trial in Los Angeles made Dong Kun feel very angry, no, it should be said that he was angry.
It was simply overwhelming. If anger could kill, I'm afraid there wouldn't be a single living person here now.
Before that, he had said that American law was a joke, but he did not expect that Americans would even lose their shame.
"This trial!"
Claxton said after being silent.
"Although it is somewhat unsatisfactory, the thugs have all been punished accordingly!"
Claxton put on a forced smile to break the silence that was distressing him.
As a lawyer, of course he knew what this so-called trial was.
This is definitely an unfair trial.
This trial was a joke from the beginning. But this joke is very likely to evolve into a war between countries!
"Please believe that this is a result based on the existing evidence. It may be somewhat unsatisfactory, but this is the best result!"
"I said, American law is a joke!"
Dong Kun raised his head slightly, then suppressed the anger in his heart and said.
"You have proved this to the world in a perfunctory way! Not only have you proved to the world that American law is a joke, but you are also trying to use this joke to persuade the Ming Empire to tell us. This is what you call
Justice. This is what you call justice. Are you insulting! Are you insulting the Ming Empire?"
Dong Kun took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, and said.
"Now, according to the instructions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Empire, it is necessary for me to inform you that the Ming Empire believes that the legal results of the "Los Angeles Massacre" completely violate the basic legal principles. To defend the interests of the Ming Empire's expatriates, we will
Take whatever measures are available."
“What are the measures that can be taken?”
Claxton asked silently.
"Our fleet is sailing to Los Angeles, Mr. Secretary."
Dong Kun said coldly.
"What you're doing is making people angry!"
After the initial shock, Creston said in a somewhat excited tone.
"Mr. Ambassador, the United States will not accept any threat of war, let alone any blackmail on the pretext of war!"
Realizing that he seemed a little excited, Creston added.
"There is no need for our two countries to conflict over the "Los Angeles Incident". This is definitely not the only option!"
"It is indeed not the only option, so we have been patient. Mr. Secretary, we have been enduring your arrogance and your prejudice for so many years. The laws you have introduced are full of discriminatory treatment against the Chinese. Our protest has been supported by
What is it? It’s your shameless discrimination!”
Staring at Creston, Dong Kun said briefly.
"You must be clear about the fact that this world is a world that values strength. You are not qualified to talk to the Ming Empire with a condescending attitude!"
After saying this, Dong Kun stood up, then looked at Creston and said.
"I think there is no need for us to talk any more. You have proven everything with your actions!"
"What?"
Creston stood up and said loudly.
"War, if a war breaks out, will not be a good thing for the Ming Empire."
"If there is a war, it will be because of your arrogance and discrimination!"
After saying these words, Dong Kun turned around and left.
When he walked out of the U.S. State Department, Dong Kun looked at the weather outside - it had begun to snow, and there were only a handful of passers-by on the sidewalk. They were all in a hurry, and snowflakes were falling from the sky.
"These arrogant Anglo-Saxons will have to pay for their arrogance sooner or later!"
Dong Kun knew that his mission had been completed today, and he had no way to stop what might happen next.
"This snow...came at just the right time!"
…
When he received the telegram from the Embassy in the United States, Zhu Xianhai was not surprised, and even thought it was a matter of course.
“This result is indeed very American!”
Zhu Xianhai threw the document on the table and said sarcastically.
"Even the White House can't interfere with judges, and even judges can't interfere with jurors. Whether it's a federal judge or a California state court, they can't influence the decision of the local jury. So, no matter what, in the end it's this
result."
This is the American judicial system. How can this system convince the jury that even if it is murder, the person can be acquitted? As for the judge, he is just a referee.
He took out a cigar from the cigar box, cut off one end with stainless steel cigar scissors, and after lighting it, Zhu Xianhai took two puffs silently.
"Indeed, very American."
Zhu Guozhong looked at His Majesty who was silent and asked.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
"Of course it was the naval gun that spoke!"
Zhu Xianhai answered directly.
"The outcome has already been determined. If Americans can have their persistence, then we also have our principles."
During the Tianjin Peace Conference last year, seven countries including France, Britain, the United States, Russia, Prussia, Belgium, and Spain jointly lodged a "protest" against the Qing Dynasty and mobilized warships to Dagukou to threaten them. How did the Qing Dynasty deal with it?
Killed sixteen people and gave sixteen heads as an answer. If the treaty was cleared and the sixteen heads were not cut off, what would be the result? The result is obvious. It must be that the coalition forces bombarded Dagu, then landed and entered.
Tianjin City sought an explanation from the Treaty Committee.
Now, it's Ming's turn to go to the United States to ask for an explanation.
However, after all, the United States is not clear on treaties, and it is stubborn!
"Your Majesty, the fleet's bombardment of Los Angeles will definitely cause a great response. After all, the United States is a member of a civilized country."
Zhu Guozhong reminded him tactfully. He himself had studied in Europe, so of course he was very aware of the double standards of Europeans.
"Civilized country?"
Zhu Xianhai laughed loudly.
"Guozhong, Europeans, are actually the same as us in China. In ancient China, there was the "Hua-Yi Defense", which was used to distinguish the Chinese from the barbarians. There are roughly three criteria for measuring it: blood relationship, geographical relationship, and clothing.
Measures of culture such as etiquette. Zhuxia has etiquette, but barbarians do not. In the final analysis, what is the core of this "Chinese-barbarian defense"? It is that China is a human being, and barbarians are not human beings. It is the superiority of civilization over barbarism. This mentality
It has been influencing China for two thousand years."
Holding a cigar between his fingers, Zhu Xianhai looked at Zhu Guozhong. As Yin Lisabai's younger brother, he was also extremely handsome and could definitely be called a Latin handsome boy. According to the "Huayi Defense", he, Yin Lisabai, or Xia
Lots are also "barbarians" and "animals".
You see, this is the definition of civilization for barbarism! If you don’t accept it, overthrow his rules if you have the ability.
Just like "We, the Song Dynasty," didn't we just become "brothers" with Liao, Jin, and Mongolia? Why did we form a so-called brotherly state?
Isn't it just because my fists are not as strong as others and I can't beat them?
The so-called civilized rules are actually still about fists speaking, and strength is everything.
“However, despite being a celestial dynasty, China’s dynasties until the Ming Dynasty did not boast of their own cultural advantages.” Just as the 17th-century Spanish missionary Zeng Dezhao recorded: “The Chinese readily praise any virtue of their neighbors and bravely
But people from other countries don’t like anything other than things from their own country. When Chinese people see products from Europe, even if they are not exquisite, they still let out an exclamation of admiration... This kind of humble attitude is really admirable, especially
It is a disgrace to a nation whose talent exceeds that of others, and to those who are ignorant and deliberately belittle what they see."
When he said these words, Zhu Xianhai's mood was a bit complicated. The reason why it was complicated was because of how a nation that was open and eager to learn became a nation that was conservative and did not know how to make progress.
Because of this, I naturally think of those Manchus who dominated China with barbarians, but kept saying "What about my empire?" Even now, they are still stuck in their ways. On the surface, they appear to be conservative. In fact, the only reason why they reject progress is to maintain
One clan and one surname enslaves China!
The so-called conservatism and rejection of progress are essentially just to maintain rule. They are just put in a relatively nice name.
"And what about the Europeans? Since the Age of Discovery, especially since the Industrial Revolution, they have come up with a so-called "civilized world". What is a "civilized world"? Guozhong, tell me?"
Zhu Guozhong smiled coldly, and then asked himself.
"It's very simple, the world of white people who believe in Jesus Christ! This is the civilized world, and the rest are barbaric countries!"
