, and now, he has not only changed his position, but even advocated giving China full and equal status.

At this time, Senator Wells, who had already lowered his head and enjoyed his lunch, was also unable to calm down. Supporting that proposal was not his original intention at all, but it was part of his deal with Carlisle, Carlisle's help.

He had safeguarded his and his family's honor, and now, he was just giving it back on a bill.

"Politics is the art of compromise, and democracy is a system of compromise.

Li Zicheng, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, said this after putting down the secret message he had just received from the United States. Finally, the wall that the international community has formed against China has today opened a big hole.

The U.S. Congress passed the resolution and the White House released the news. For China, this day undoubtedly means a new beginning.

When looking at the secret cable, Li Zicheng's emotion was not that China would benefit from the change in the United States' attitude toward China, but the "compromise" shown by those American politicians, even though they were seeking money.

Scandal compromise, but on the other hand, while the legislators who supported the resolution compromised with money and scandal, they promoted the passage of this bill through constant lobbying, deals, and compromises.

In the city of Washington, everything can be traded. In fact, for the senators and representatives on Capitol Hill, the way they deal with national affairs is essentially trading, using mutual compromises and transactions.

In order to strive for each other to achieve the ultimate goal. Of course, this kind of transaction brings chaos, but equally, it is this kind of political transaction that is the foundation for the United States to remain strong. At least in the eyes of Americans, this system is definitely not the most powerful.

Good, but it is the best system that mankind can find so far.

It is precisely because of this that Li Zicheng said such a meaningless sentence. In fact, for Beijing and Chinese politicians, they have not learned what compromise is, and of course they do not know what politics is.

It is the art of compromise. For Chinese politicians, they have long been accustomed to life-and-death attacks. As for compromise... I am afraid it will take a long time for them to learn it.

After sighing, Li Zicheng noticed Lu Zhengxiang and Gu Weijun sitting in front of him. Looking at the two chairman and vice-chairmen of the "Special Foreign Affairs Committee of the State Council", he raised the telegram in his hand and said with a smile.

"Now, Americans have opened the door for us. Don't think that Americans are so fair and kind. In fact, because the products imported from the United States to China are mainly high-end products such as cars and machines, the audience is small. Therefore, even if we

Raising the tariff rate will not only have little impact, but will easily win the favor of our people and further expand their influence in China!"

Smiling, Li Zicheng sounded very proud. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as you make a start, the rest of the things will be easy to handle. "At the same time, because of the strength we showed during the Jiao'ao battle, the U.S. government

It intends to support us to curb Japan's momentum in the Pacific and stabilize the international order in the Far East. Therefore, I believe that as long as China continues to remain tough and adhere to its existing position of tariff independence, there will be good results, and tariffs are just the beginning.

!”

Since Ruienshi had already revealed his desire to seek tariff independence, there was nothing worth keeping secret.

"Prime Minister, if we sign a contract with the United States, it is just a good start. However, considering the influence of various countries in China, the British attitude is still extremely cold, even tough. If we want to complete the revision of the New Treaty

, you must find another way!"

Lu Zhengxiang's words made Li Zicheng nodded, and then asked.

"Zici, what do you think should be done?"

"Prime Minister!"

Seeing that the Prime Minister had brought the problem to him, Lu Zhengxiang said quickly.

"The reason why the British side reacted indifferently or even took a tough attitude to my country's proposal of the "Revised New Testament" is that it wants to maintain its position as the leader in China. If it wants to force it to submit, it must have individual talks with the great powers one by one to isolate Britain. "

Lu Zhengxiang, who is familiar with the British character, naturally knows how to deal with an established power like Britain.

"Well, you mean to skip the mission?"

The mission is an extremely abnormal product. After the Gengzi Treaty, in order to prevent each country from independently obtaining secret privileges from China, the ministers of various countries decided to negotiate with the Chinese government through the mission.

" is the principle. But now, Lu Zhengxiang's suggestion is to skip the diplomatic mission and negotiate with each country individually.

"Prime Minister, if you want to skip the diplomatic corps, the State Council needs to make a strong statement!"

Gu Weijun, who had reached a consensus with Lu Zhengxiang, looked at the Prime Minister and reminded him softly.

"If the State Council does not refuse to engage in dialogue with the mission, then Britain's insistence will inevitably lead to the inability to negotiate! As a result, it will be impossible to achieve a diplomatic breakthrough!"

Touching his chin with his hand, Li Zicheng raised the corners of his lips,

"tough······"
