The Americans were very enthusiastic, but Ouyang Yun did not show any pretense and did not even look at them. He only said to Gu Lianyun in a self-deprecating tone: "I thought I was friends with President Roosevelt, even if it was just for personal friendship, President Roosevelt They will also come to greet me, but now it seems that I have not been able to gain the friendship of President Roosevelt."
Ouyang Yun specially said these words in English. The two American diplomats looked at each other and were immediately embarrassed. Gu Lianyun was very satisfied with Ouyang Yun's performance. She looked at the American coldly and said: "The commander-in-chief is Roosevelt. It was only after repeated invitations from the President that I took the time to come to Cairo. I don’t know if Secretary Hull is here. When I see him later, I will definitely ask him how he presides over your country’s diplomatic work. Could it be said that President Roosevelt invited Did our Commander-in-Chief come to Cairo just for him to observe, or does he feel that this is not a meeting between countries, but just a private party?"
Ouyang Yun's words only made the two American diplomats feel embarrassed, but Gu Lianyun's words directly made them confused. If anything was raised to the level of the country, it was not something that the two of them could bear. They couldn't help but complain deeply. The boss who assigned the reception task came and thought that he was deliberately making things difficult for them, just to make them bear the cynicism of the Chinese.
As the capital of Egypt, Cairo is much worse than Guangzhou in terms of living environment and market prosperity. This makes the Xuebingjun and others feel proud, and it also offsets some of their grievances. When they arrived at the residence arranged by Brown, the two An American diplomat walked away with embarrassment. Watching them leave, Jiang Huangyong could not help but look worried and said to everyone: "Will this anger the Americans? If the Americans are so angry that they don't invite the junior chief to attend the meeting, it will be terrible." Already."
Ouyang Yun and Gu Lianyun couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Ouyang Yun poked his forehead with his finger and shouted: "Childish, how is that possible? They sent a diplomatic note. Do you think diplomacy is like children's play house?"
Jiang Huangyong really didn't understand. He couldn't help but blush when he heard this. He felt very embarrassed. He was afraid of being laughed at by everyone, so he laughed at himself and said: "Fortunately, I didn't want to engage in diplomacy, otherwise I would be really embarrassed."
There was no smile on everyone's face. Not only that, Ouyang Yun and Gu Lianyun's expressions were also very serious. Among the delegation of the Xuebing Army, Gu Lianyun was the responsible diplomatic manager. She said to Ouyang Yun: "Secretary of State Hull is also following. I came over, I thought he would come to pick him up anyway, but only two minions were sent over. If I had known this, we should have asked Roosevelt to help arrange accommodation."
Ouyang Yun lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then asked Lu Hanni: "Lu Hanni, how is Brown's mobility?"
Lu Hanni was very smart and immediately realized what he wanted to do, and replied: "I'm not sure, but I can come forward and ask someone from the British delegation to find out."
"No, you can't go." Gu Lianyun answered: "You are Ouyang's translator and a member of the delegation. If you go to inquire about the situation, it will make us appear guilty. In fact, there is nothing to worry about. There are still 40,000 Americans. Our life and death are in our hands, and I don’t think Roosevelt will do anything too extreme. Moreover, Australia’s situation determines that they can’t just be happy with our poverty.”
"Old Liu, go and invite Reporter Guo over." Ouyang Yun suddenly turned around and said to Liu Kui, who was standing aside,
Liu Kui responded to the order and quickly brought Guo Jianxiang over. Guo Jianxiang is a newly famous reporter of "Xuebingjun Times". He is famous for his sharp words and outstanding knowledge.
"Commander-in-Chief, you are looking for me."
"Xiao Guo, I need your help." Ouyang Yun said to him straight to the point: "Take someone to interview the American delegation to see if you can find out the bottom line of the Americans. Remember, you must get the delegation Personnel list.”
Guo Jianxiang readily agreed,
After Guo Jianxiang left, Ouyang Yun stretched himself and said to everyone: "After five or six hours of flying, my back and legs are sore. Go back and rest. Once you come, take it easy. Let's treat it like a trip to the Middle East." .”
Chen Shichang: "I definitely can't sleep."
"I dare not sleep." Jiang Huangyong changed his lazy habit and said seriously,
Gu Lianyun looked at Ouyang Yun and said, "You and Lu Hanni go to rest, Shi Chang and I will keep watch."
Ouyang Yun glanced at everyone, nodded and walked to his room under the leadership of You Xiaolian. Lu Hanni originally followed, but when she went up the stairs, she remembered something and stayed behind.
Gu Lianyun, Chen Shichang, Jiang Huangyong and Lu Hanni sat down in the hall. Chen Shichang said to Gu Lianyun: "Sister, it seems that we need to set up our own foreign affairs department. There will definitely be many such things in the future."
Gu Lianyun nodded,
Lu Hanni looked at her, considered it for a while and said, "Sister Yun, I'll ask Brown and the others to find out. There must be a reason for this."
Gu Lianyun's status in the Xuebing Army is very special. This specialness is reflected in her relationship with Ouyang Yun and secondly because she actually controls Xuebingjun's assets in the United States. For Chen Shichang and others, Gu Lianyun is still She has an identity. When they were in the United States, it was precisely because of her protection that they could devote themselves to study and training without any distractions. To put it bluntly, Gu Lianyun was the mother of the Pacific Fleet, so the people in the Pacific Fleet respectfully called her "eldest sister" ",
Lu Hanni called her "Sister Yun" but she learned from Ouyang Yun. There were not many opportunities for Ouyang Yun to call Gu Lianyun "Sister Yun", but Lu Hanni happened to be qualified to be present. The British girl initially wanted to dominate Ouyang Yun alone. However, after seeing Bai Liusu's terrifying skills and Gu Lianyun's methods, the British girl wisely chose the appeasement route and silently acknowledged her identity as "One".
When Ouyang Yun was not present, Gu Lianyun was the decisive decision-maker among everyone. She agreed with Lu Hanni's suggestion and asked her to ask Brown to get some local newspapers.
When Gu Lianyun and others began to try their best to find out the bottom line of the talks between the British and American delegations, in the U.S. Embassy in Egypt, after listening to the reports of the two diplomats, Hull immediately realized that Ouyang Yun had noticed the reason behind "not picking up the plane." article, he immediately reported the incident to Roosevelt, and finally said with a smile: "Our Chinese children may be irritated."
Roosevelt had been discussing with McIntyre and Stilwell the provision of financial and material assistance to China. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "If the children are unwilling to cooperate, then we will find our big friends in China. Hull, you see Look at this." He said and handed him the notepad in his hand.
Hull was shocked and asked: "Mr. President, are you serious?"
"It's impossible for the president to joke about this kind of thing." Stilwell said, holding a cigar in his mouth.
Hull smiled bitterly: "What about the Philippine department? We have to be prepared for the Chinese to use them as cannon fodder."
"I will formally make a request at the meeting to ask the student army to abandon the Philippines." Roosevelt said slowly,
"What if Ouyang Yun refuses."
"He won't refuse. Don't you, Mr. Secretary of State, know what is happening in China recently? If an older friend comes forward, the children must obey." Stilwell continued,
