Part 6 Chapter 8 Tough posture

Tang Shaoyi's expression in the car looked very calm, but in fact, her heart was in a state of excitement, and she could even be said to be angry.

The reason for the anger is very simple. The representatives of Britain and France put on the arrogant attitude of the boss at the negotiating table. Just half an hour ago, the French representative Sarkozy looked arrogant. Tang Shaoyi thought it was ridiculous. Why did France send such an unknown guy to negotiate?

In recent years, Tang Shaoyi's role in domestic politics has become more and more important. In addition to holding the army tightly, Chen Congyun still cannot be interfered with by others. He basically lets Tang Shaoyi do the rights in the political circle.

Today's domestic politics is at a time when the old and the new are mixed. A large number of young talents who have grown up with this new China and have fully received Western-style education have emerged like mushrooms after a rain. On the other hand, the old literati groups are also working hard to seek a space for survival, and some conflicts have inevitably arisen between the two sides.

What Tang Shaoyi needs to do is to reconcile these two factions of strength, and then under the leadership of the government, give full play to the greatest subjective initiative of these people.

The most critical issue depends on Chen Congyun's attitude. Before Shen Congyun made a clear statement, Tang Shaoyi still had many concerns. However, when the candidate for Tianjin mayor was determined, Tang Shaoyi felt that Chen Congyun trusted him.

Zhang Peilun is undoubtedly a typical figure represented by the old literati. Although Sheng Xuanhuai is in it, Zhang Peilun's Beiyang imprint is too profound. So when he asked this question, Tang Shaoyi was worried. Although he was trying his best to hide it, he was still worried whether Chen Congyun would be suspicious about this issue.

Facts prove that Chen Congyun's employment was unquestionable, which also made Tang Shaoyi relax and treat representatives of Britain and France with a tough attitude at the negotiating table.

When he thought of French representative Sarkozy, Tang Shaoyi showed a slight anger and cursed in a low voice: "Pig Head! Did you think it was during the Qing Dynasty?"

Tang Shaoyi hurried to find Chen Congyun because he got up early in the morning and received a message from the delegation to Germany. The revision of the Sino-German Military Friendly Cooperation Agreement had been completed. During the economic crisis that began in 1907, Germany obtained a large number of cooperation projects in China with its long-term good cooperative relations with China, and it was also the fastest climbing out of the mud pit of the economic crisis, and surpassed Britain and France, becoming the country with the largest industrial strength in Europe. Germany, which tasted the sweetness, was obviously much more pragmatic in China than Britain and France. Driven by interests, Germany took the initiative to strengthen cooperation with China in its advantageous projects in electrical and chemical industries.

Germany, which was beyond Britain and France, naturally was not satisfied with its current international status. Especially William II's "world policy" encountered a strong rebound from the Russian-French Agreement. After Britain emerged from the glorious isolation policy and joined the Allied Power, Germany's urgent desire to form an alliance with China, which was also a later generation, was far higher than that of the Allied Power, and its sincere attitude was far greater than that of the Allied Power.

Tang Shaoyi sometimes couldn't help but think that compared to the Germans, Britain and France have been unwilling to pay actual benefits, which is really disgusting. Judging from the current strength comparison, it is better to join the allies directly. However, Tang Shaoyi just thought about it simply and did not dare to make a decision easily. The decision on this issue can only be done by Shen Congyun. What Tang Shaoyi has to do can only be some practical operations and must not cross the line. Tang Shaoyi understands this very well.

The revised "China-Germany Military Friendly Cooperation Agreement" basically shows that the two countries further deepen the exchange of military construction and the further expansion of cooperation in military industrial technology. There is a strong signal that China will conduct an approximate technology sharing exchange with Germany in the world for its leading electronic listening technology, submarine manufacturing technology, and aviation technology in the revised contract. The German side will give China more support in the technology of the new fearless battleship.

In general, this is a transaction that both parties need to win each other, which is a pleasant cooperation. Of course, since there is a pleasant cooperation, everyone's small actions in private will be relatively restrained.

The new agreement was not officially announced to the public, because China proposed that it must be officially announced to the public at an appropriate time after soliciting the approval of the Supreme Head of State.

After hurriedly entering the courtyard of the presidential residence, Tang Shaoyi couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Every time such a scene appeared, it meant that Chen Congyun had to make some major decisions.

Following Li Yaoguo into Chen Congyun's study, the two met and greeted each other, and after the servant went to tea and retreated, Tang Shaoyi took the initiative to report on the current status of negotiations between China, Britain and France as usual. He arrogantly declared against the French representative Sarkozy that he hoped that China would reduce the number of standing troops and that China would show sincerity in the negotiation by reducing the Northeast garrison. The British representative used the Tibet issue as a bargaining chip to cooperate with France's threatening actions and made a detailed report.

Chen Congyun listened to Tang Shaoyi's report calmly. When he heard Tang Shaoyi say, "The British side believes that Tibet should be an independent country", Chen Congyun threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.

Liu Ting, who looked surprised, came in, quickly called the servants to clean up, and then served Chen Congyun again and quietly went down. Liu Ting's surprise was normal. Chen Congyun was a very restrained person. This was the first time Liu Ting saw Chen Congyun throw something.

"Sir, do you see if this matter is slowed down? The sincerity of Britain and France is really..." Tang Shaoyi still expressed his meaning very carefully. Chen Congyun nodded and said, "Okay, this matter will be done as you wish, and the secret talks between the Three Kingdoms will be suspended."

Tang Shaoyi let out a long sigh. In fact, he had wanted to give Britain and France some color. He has been holding it in his heart for many years.

"Sir, will the new agreement between China and Germany be announced at the right time?" Tang Shaoyi seized the opportunity to follow Chen Congyun's meaning, of course, he thought so in his heart.

The anger on Chen Congyun's face faded, and a disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "This proposal is very good. You immediately instruct the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to communicate with the German side and release this news at the same time. In addition, it is announced to the public that the Chinese military will conduct a large-scale military performance in the Northeast recently."

"Oh? How big is it?" Tang Shaoyi laughed knowingly.

"I have ordered the Southern Military Region and the Central Plains Military Region to draw three divisions of troops northward to carry out a large-scale act of 500,000 troops."

Chen Congyun seemed to want the world to know what an angry China looked like. Announced the China-Germany agreement, terminated negotiations with Britain and France, and the Northeast exercise. These three steps were equivalent to a series of combined punches, which was equivalent to a loud slap in the face of Britain and France's unrealistic foreign policy towards China.

The day after the news was announced, world public opinion was in an uproar. The US President urgently summoned the Chinese ambassador to the United States overnight and asked some questions of concern. The answer he got was ambiguous and unpredictable.

In fact, all Chinese embassies abroad have received closure orders from the country. Ambassadors to Germany, France, Britain, Russia and other countries have also adopted a silent attitude towards the urgent summons from various countries.

In a subsequent report, The Washington Post said that this was a major mistake in the policy of Britain and France towards China, which led to further intensification of the European military competition.

The London Post said, what is our government doing? At this time, angering China really makes people doubt the IQ of the guys in the government who rely on taxpayers to support them.

The German and Austrian newspapers showed a complete victory. The newspapers published news in this area one after another. The most eye-catching one was the first-hand report from the Chinese side. A large number of photos proved that China was mobilizing heavy troops to the Northeast. "Although China has always hoarded more than half of its national defense forces in the Northeast, this time China clearly expressed its determination to further increase its troops in the Northeast." This passage in the Berlin Times became the greatest achievement of the German Foreign Ministry. Anyone with a little bit of mind can think of one thing that China's increase in troops stationed in the Northeast means that Russia, which has always threatened eastern Germany, will be dragged into the Far East.

The toughness shown by Britain and France towards China is somewhat unexpected. While the two governments are still trying to find ways to save this mistake, China has taken another move that Britain feels stressed.

"In view of the rise of Tibet's independence, in order to show our government's determination to safeguard national sovereignty, the parliament passed President Shen Congyun's proposal unanimously, and drew an army from the Southern Military Region to station in Tibet to increase our military strength in Tibet."

The statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' press release is a bit more intense. Although a military force is not large, compared to the symbolic garrison of China in Tibet before, does it mean that the Chinese government is about to take action against Tibet, a long-term highly autonomous local force? Or, this is another message expressed by the Chinese government. After all, Tibet and India are too close.
