Chapter 255 Xiangjiang affair, a long time ago

Xiangjiang didn't dare to care at all. Although the mainland was concerned, the mainland itself was fighting at that time and could not control it. This matter highlighted the situation of the Governor of Xiangjiang in Xiangjiang, and they did not have the ability to master everything.

The situation of Guo Yingdong, which also reflects the powerlessness of the Governor of Xiangjiang, also reflected the incident of Guo Yingdong. During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Guo Yingdong personally led a large fleet of small ships to transport a large amount of supplies to the mainland while he was risking his life at night.

These materials included medicines, raw materials and other types of materials. Even the Governor of Xiangjiang at that time was extremely dissatisfied, and even the British side organized a large number of patrol fleets at that time.

Even the U.S. Department of Commerce officials at the time declared that "anything that a soldier could use was not allowed to be transported in."

But Guo Yingdong was still able to find gaps to organize manpower and send a large amount of supplies to the mainland to support the mainland's war in North Korea. But even though Guo Yingdong did these things, he had never been arrested.

The Governor of Xiangjiang and the British side were gritting their teeth for him, but they only dared to make things difficult for him on business issues. They did not dare to treat him directly or for his assets. This also highlighted the Governor of Xiangjiang and even the British side's control ability in Xiangjiang. Indeed, they managed Xiangjiang on the surface, but in fact their control was very limited.

"Prepare, we fly back directly." But the old man paused his dragon-headed stick and said in a deep voice: "Let Zhicheng and the others prepare, don't alarm too many people..."

As he said that, the old man snorted coldly: "Did these guys have all their brains break in just a few years?! He didn't look for the boss, but he was making a fuss there!"

At this time, a guest from afar came to the imperial capital, or a bad guest from afar. But even if the person came was a bad guest, the leaders of the imperial capital still welcomed the bad guest in with a smile.

The surrounding area of ​​the imperial capital was fully controlled, and all key nodes were controlled. The convoy and the guard of honor of the three armies entered the airport to welcome the guest. Several leaders from the highest level accompanied the guest to review the team.

Afterwards, both sides set out from the airport and rushed towards Danei. There, a welcome banquet was set up. The guests smiled and smiled and said some official words at the banquet.

Everyone knows that it is impossible to tell the truth now. It is impossible to cause too much negotiation progress. At this time, everyone will greet each other and test each other. The next negotiation is the focus.

"Jeffrey. Do you think we can achieve the expected results in this negotiation?!" Finally, I returned to the hotel from the cocktail party, but the smiling lady looked exhausted.

This room has been thoroughly inspected. After all, the English and Ideas Five is not a vegetarian. The Prime Minister came to such a red country in person, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.

That's right, the current British Prime Minister, Mrs. Thatcher, known as the Iron Lady. The one who came to the imperial capital was the current Foreign Minister of the British Empire.

"Prime Minister, all this is still unknown..." Jeffrey looked at the tired Mrs. Thatcher and said with a wry smile: "I believe you know better about the situation of the last negotiation than me..."

Thatcher indeed knew better. Because that year, she was extremely tough and encountered a tougher leader than her. If she was the "Iron Lady", then this seemingly calm opponent would be the "Iron and Steel Company".

Thatcher, who once performed extremely tough, seemed to be unable to use any means in front of him. If you are tough, you find that your opponent is tougher than you! The most important thing is: your opponent has more tough capital than you.

So, Thatcher retreated. In front of the negotiating synagogue, she fell to her knees directly from the ladder. This incident became one of the few embarrassing spots in her political career in front of the public.

Thatcher's toughness is famous, and she even showed her toughness during her first visit to China. Most Western leaders will spontaneously lay wreaths to the monument standing in front of the Great Hall.

Only Thatcher directly told China through the foreign affairs department that she was unwilling to lay wreaths. The reason was: there were reliefs of the smoke of the tiger's gunpowder on it. She believed that the existence of those anti-British heroes made her, as the British Prime Minister, not respect them.

Even though the British Foreign Affairs Department said that this was a common practice by Western leaders, she still refused to change her attitude. In fact, she was sending a message to China at that time: I am very tough.

But China cannot deny it. It did not require her to lay a wreath. So when she thought that China was showing weakness, she encountered a severe blow from the old man who claimed to be the "steel company"!

At the first meeting, she insisted on following the "Jinling Treaty", the "Imperial Capital Treaty" and the "Strip to the Xiangjiang River Delta" in 1898, Britain enjoyed sovereignty over the Hong Kong Island, Ap Lei Chau, Kowloon Peninsula and Aung Chuanzhou.

He arrogantly claimed that all this belonged to Britain and would always belong to Britain. Her attitude originated from the two defeats of the Qing court and the cowardice of the government after World War II.

The Treaty of Jinling signed in 1842 after the Qing Dynasty was defeated, permanently ceding Xiangjiang Island, together with Ap Lei Chau and nearby islands to Britain. In 1860, the Qing Dynasty was defeated by the British and French forces in the Second War and signed the Treaty of the Imperial Capital to permanently ceding to Britain south of the boundary street of the Kowloon Peninsula.

In the subsequent 1898, the Qing Dynasty was forced to sign the "Special Article on the Expanding of the Boundary Site of the Xiangjiang River" with the United Kingdom, and leased the "New Territories" including New Kowloon and more than 230 outlying islands for a period of 99 years. This was based on this. Thatcher announced that these areas belong to the United Kingdom.

But what she didn't expect was that the old man said lightly: Sovereignty issues cannot be negotiated! They directly defeated all her preparations. The following sentence: If any problems arise, we don't mind taking them back in other ways!

When the Iron Lady encountered a steel company that was stronger than her, her fate could only be to retreat in disgrace. Don’t blame her for kneeling in front of the hall, because the pressure she faced was too great.

The old man in front of her has tested the combat effectiveness of the army belonging to this country on the battlefield. What about the British Empire?! After World War II, can you still fight?! Can you travel across the ocean from the British Empire to Xiangjiang to fight?!

Can Britain deal with the fight with an army that once forced Americans to sit at the negotiating table on the Korean battlefield?! What price does Britain have to pay to maintain Hong Kong?!

Thinking of millions of troops and the torrent of steel, the lady shuddered. This was not a threat or a warning. Instead, the old man simply stated a fact: he had the ability to get Xiangjiang back in any way at any time!

No matter what the British thinks, no matter what the British do, if you want to keep the last bit of face, then just sign the agreement at the negotiating table. It was not until this moment that the lady woke up.

What she faced was not the corrupt Qing court, nor the timid Republic of China. What she faced was the ability to force Americans to sign an agreement on the Korean battlefield and easily drove away the French in Vietnam.

Before they became powerful, they dared to directly attack the British Ziyingshi on the river. They are no longer as weak as they were back then. They possess nuclear weapons and serve as the Five Constables of the United Nations, just like Britain.

The old man opposite her has been fighting for decades. To this day, countless political tides have been striking, and the old man has long taken everything lightly. In his opinion, Thatcher's behavior is nothing more than a joke.

The reason why he asked Thatcher to come was just to tell her a fact: if we don't return it, then we will not be so gentle when we go and get it ourselves. So, please don't misjudgment.

Thatcher did not make any misjudgment. She accurately judged what the old man wanted to convey. She also accurately judged that if the old man or the mainland was planning to do something about the British Empire was unable to resist.

Based on these judgments, this "Iron Lady" was able to kneel down in front of the Great Hall. Because she truly felt fear and powerlessness, the powerlessness of resisting the strong plan.

In this world, after all, the hard truth is that the fist is big. Back then, Britain's fist was big enough, even if he used fallacies to steal it, it was the truth. Now, the old man also told the British with a big fist: What I am talking about now is the truth.

"We will give it a try after all!" Thatcher mustered up the courage he had left and said to Jeffrey: "On the battlefield of the Horse Island, our soldiers told the world that the glory of the British Empire is still there!"

"So, I think we can fight for this matter and see if we can get the best results. At least... I hope we can protect part of our interests in Hong Kong and give us an extra Far East export."

Jeffrey couldn't help but lower his head and smile bitterly when he heard this. This lady was too presumptuous. What you can think of, could this old man in the Imperial Capital not think of?! Those think tanks in the Imperial Capital not think of it?!

Perhaps they knew better than anyone else what the weakness of the British Empire was now. Indeed, the British Empire's toughness and offensive gained results in the war on the island of Falkland. But this was only based on the fact that the opponent was Argentina.

After all, the British Empire's hundreds of years of naval accumulation could not even defeat a small Argentina. Then the naval soldiers of the entire British Empire would go home and feed their children.

But what about the opponents being China? And they are fighting on land?! Can the British Empire compare with China, which forces the United States to sit at the negotiating table, drive the French out of Vietnam, and now beat Vietnam to dizzy?!

The answer is obvious, but Jeffrey is unwilling to face it... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
