Chapter 2892 Weird
Soviet Russia, whose troops had all moved to the Sino-Soviet border, still had only protests and no hopeless shootings. Naturally, Churchill would not be so stupid as to be the first to jump out and choke.Thus, a very strange scene was staged in Chongqing.Just as 1945 was drawing to a close, Britain sent a very large diplomatic delegation to Chongqing, chanting slogans of mediation between China and the United States, but actually wanted to take the opportunity to carry out political blackmail.

As the inventors of bandit logic in the world, the British take advantage of people's dangers to gain benefits.From the perspective of the British, the current Chinese government must be suffering from the US-Japan treaty and the Far East issue. At this time, there is no problem at all with their little territorial claims.

Hong Kong is indeed very small, and it was leased to Britain before World War II started; as for Myanmar, Malaysia and other places, those places had nothing to do with China in the past.By the way, Myanmar and China are related, but that was hundreds of years ago.Moreover, its relationship is only between the suzerain and the vassal—the British take it for granted, and they are full of confidence in whether this diplomatic mediation can achieve the expected benefits.

Yes, the British went to Chongqing with great fanfare under the banner of diplomatic mediation.And the real purpose is to hope that the Chinese government can continue to recognize the British lease of Hong Kong, and agree that the British government can continue to exercise colonial power over Burma and Malaysia.As for most of Malaysia is still in the hands of the Japanese army, the British don't care at all, because they feel that the Chinese army will definitely be able to defeat the Japanese army.

Like the United States and the Soviet Union, there are also some high-level British people who think they have considerable research on China.In the eyes of these China hands, Chinese people have a common problem of vanity, especially in the leadership.Therefore, they think that as long as they praise the Chinese severely, the Chinese will generously agree to their request when their vanity is satisfied.

"...Moreover, judging from the current situation, China really needs our mediation, right? Mr. Prime Minister, do you think the Chinese have the guts to go to war with the US, Japan and the Soviet Union at the same time? No, unless Ouyang Yun is crazy, otherwise, He will definitely accept our goodwill..." This is what British Foreign Secretary Eden said in order to persuade Churchill to launch a diplomatic offensive to China.Because he is a well-known China hand in this British cabinet, Churchill will mostly ask for his opinion when making decisions about China.

The British trip to Chongqing was very high-profile, so as soon as he arrived in Chongqing, he aroused great attention from the Chinese media.

Because the British are holding the banner of a friendly visit, Eden even claimed in an interview with a Reuters reporter at the Xiaolongkan Airport that this is a friendly and peaceful trip, and now China needs friends so much, especially the British level friend.Therefore, although the coalition government is just a matter of business, after media exaggeration and erroneous rumors, there is a saying among the people that the British were invited by the Prime Minister to disgust the United States; China and Britain will form a more hard-core relationship Allies...

Related rumors spread to Ouyang Yun's ears, which made him a little anxious: "It seems that the people are not willing to fight, and they don't have much confidence in whether we can defeat the United States and Japan."

"Now our situation is really bad, let alone Japan, the United States and the Soviet Union, which one is not a superpower in the world? People should think of the Eight-Power Allied Forces," Pan Meiren said.

"Chinese people are still too kind and simple. If they know that the purpose of the British trip is to blackmail us, what will they think?"

Ouyang Yun could figure out what the British wanted with his butt.And his first rebuttal was to sneer: "The British still think China is in the late Qing Dynasty? Wishful thinking!"

The former empire on which the sun never sets has become old after entering the [-]th century, but the British have never realized this, and still like to put on a veteran status in international affairs.If it were Lao Jiang, he might be intimidated by the superficial strength of the United Kingdom, but as Ouyang Yun, a traveler who is well versed in the history of the British, although he would not be bored enough to expose it, it is absolutely impossible for him to be "deceived".

The Sino-US alliance has not been formally dissolved, so it is not easy for the British to play the banner of mediation, and a friendly visit has become inevitable.In the eyes of the British, the Chinese can only be grateful for the fact that the mediation is carried out under the pretext of a friendly visit, and they will definitely tacitly understand it.Unexpectedly, Ouyang Yun, who had known the truth earlier, made up his mind to pretend to be stupid this time.Therefore, he not only took care of Song Ziwen long ago, saying that he would not meet Aiden, but also took care of him, and he must stick to the line of "friendly visit".

There was a diplomatic war between China and the United States, and Song Ziwen had to ask Ouyang Yun for instructions on many things, so the two interacted quite frequently during this period.With a lot of contact, Song Ziwen has a better understanding of Ouyang Yun's personality, and gradually he has Ouyang Yun's characteristics in his behavior.

Ouyang Yun said "the British are just paper tigers", Song Ziwen thought that the normal reception was fine, and he refused to give the British any more color.

Aiden is not a fool. The Chinese diplomats headed by Song Ziwen are warm on the surface but cold on the inside, letting him know that the purpose of his trip has been grasped by the other party, and the other party obviously does not want to buy it.His initial reaction was that he became angry from embarrassment, but after walking around Chongqing a lot and gaining a better understanding of China's strength, he immediately changed his attitude and became truly "friendly".

Yes, Ouyang Yun is not afraid of fighting the British.However, between friends and enemies, friends are of course the best choice.Before the British did not make excessive demands or show hostility, he did not want to offend the United Kingdom for no reason because of diplomatic details.

Before leaving for Chongqing, Aiden swore in front of Churchill that he would be able to lease Hong Kong again from the Chinese at the worst.In the first few days in Chongqing, because he felt the "enthusiasm of the Chinese people" from newspapers and TV, he also became more and more convinced of this.

Therefore, when the Chinese personnel always maintained a polite attitude, but just did not mention formal talks with them and did not answer when the "Supreme Commander" was free to meet them, Aiden once acted very angry and released such a statement Ruthless words: "If the meeting with the supreme commander of your country fails because of this, and the Chinese and British governments cause misunderstandings, can you bear such responsibility? Where is your minister? I want to see Minister Song Ziwen!"

Those who came forward to receive the British delegation were capable officers personally selected by Song Ziwen. No matter how angry the British were, these subordinates of Song Ziwen still had a smile on their faces.However, for Aiden's request, they only expressed their willingness to report to their superiors.

This dragged on for a week, when Aiden realized that everything he encountered was deliberately done by the Chinese, and he had a better understanding of China's strength under the deliberate arrangement of China.After calming down, Aiden wisely chose to lower his stance and asked Song Ziwen to see him, hoping to start a discussion with him on the future development of Sino-British relations.
