This question made Wulan Geli unable to answer, so he could only smile and shake his head!
"I wonder if the British side has any position in this negotiation?" Ulan Geli asked.
Witoma smiled politely and said, "Of course Britain hopes for peace between the Chinese and Tsarist Russia. War is bad. War will kill people..."
Wulan Geli began to curse in his heart, thinking, "I still don't know that people will die in war?" Are you trying to prevaricate me with such words? You, the UK, will engage in such conspiracy and calculations behind the scenes, just because you are afraid that Tsarist Russia will become stronger!
"Well... Vetomar, my old friend, you have not lived in China for a day or two. I just want to remind you that here we are Europeans and we are one family!"
"Sooner or later, a powerful Chinese will challenge the interests of the British Empire. Xiao Letian cares about sea power very much!"
"For God's sake, we should get together!"
Weituma still nodded with a polite smile on his face, "Of course, God loves us, and of course we are a family..."
As he said this, Wade began to mock in his heart, "You, an Orthodox believer, are talking about religion with me, a Protestant Englishman?" You and the Catholic Church are in the same boat.
The majority of European nations have always looked down on the Russians. Tsarist Russia has always wanted to truly integrate into Europe, but the end result is that it hits the wall again and again!
Britain and France have always regarded Tsarist Russia as barbarians in Central Asia, not as white people in Europe!
In addition, there are differences in religions themselves. Both Protestants and Catholics are fighting to death. How many wars have broken out continuously, let alone the Orthodox Church!
The words Ulan Geli said were like farts in Weitoma's ears!
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two walked into the Chinese Embassy side by side. Although the two rows of armed guards at the gate were awe-inspiring, the inside of the embassy was even more solemn and solemn!
The deep courtyard leads directly to the lobby of the main negotiation venue. There are guards of honor on both sides of the gravel road. Their patent leather big-brimmed hats reflect the sun, and the copper buttons on their bodies are all gilded!
In the hall, ministers from other countries have already arrived. The elderly Minister Hua Ruohan is planning to return to the United States this year to deliver his errands. He didn't have to come in person, but he showed up regardless of fatigue!
The French ambassador is Goldmire, an old acquaintance. He is the only one among this group of people who has a pitiful feeling towards Ulangri!
There were also the ambassadors from Germany and Austria who were also present, but these two people were just there to make up for the situation and didn't bother to get involved. If Cai Bixia hadn't written an invitation, they wouldn't have attended!
"Mr. Minister, you are very welcome... This time the head of state has entrusted me with full power to negotiate. I hope our talks will go smoothly!"
Cai Bixia stepped forward and reached out to shake hands with Ulan Geli. The Russian ambassador was stunned and said, "No... Mr. Xiao Hexin...?"
"No...haha...it turns out that the ambassador is so obsessed with General Xiao Hexin? I can send a telegram to the south so that King Xiao can have time to come to Beijing to meet you..."
"No... no need... no need..." Wu Langeli's face turned pale. He suffered a big loss at the hands of Xiao Hexin back then, and King Xiao Tian's sharp tongue was really hard to get!
Wulan Geli always remembered Xiao Hexin pointing at his nose and saying that he was the criminal who raped the widow in the suburbs of Beijing!
If you say you have a motive to commit a crime and have the tools to commit a crime, then you are a criminal! As soon as he said this, the entire Prime Minister's Office burst into laughter. To this day, there are still people in the capital laughing at themselves with this sentence!
When he heard that Xiao Hexin did not come to negotiate, he was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief!
The guests and hosts were seated. Cai Bixia and Wu Langeli sat face to face. Translators and stenographers were busy working on both sides. Ambassadors from other countries stood aside to listen. The security guard quickly closed the door of the hall!
"Let me get straight to the point! Ambassador Ulan Geli asked for the restart of negotiations, and I, the head of state of the Chinese nation, will not close the door to exchanges! The end of the Far East War has indeed taken too long!"
"Ambassador Ulan Geli, this is our request. Please take a look at it..." The folder was pushed to Tsarist Russia.
After Ulan Geli opened it, he put on his reading glasses and looked carefully at the details written in Chinese and Russian. After ten minutes, he put down his glasses with a long sigh.
Cai Bixia didn't expect that Wulan Geli was not furious, but sighed tiredly, and he suddenly felt reassured!
"Special Envoy Cai... I don't know how high your authority is. Can you make the decision on behalf of the head of state? If possible, I still want to negotiate with the head of state in person and meet with the head of state..."
"Ambassador, do you want to negotiate with the head of state? Do you mean that His Majesty the Tsar is coming to Asia? Does the Tsar want to negotiate in person?" Cai Bixia asked in shock.
"No, no, no... The Tsar is busy with many things in Europe and has no time to come to Asia... But His Majesty the Tsar wants me to negotiate with the head of state in person. Please convey this to the special envoy!"
"No!" Cai Bixia said categorically, "Negotiations must be reciprocal, between the minister and the special envoy, and between the head of state and the tsar... There is no reason why the minister directly negotiates with the head of state in person!"
"If you want to meet the head of state, then after signing the treaty, we may be able to arrange for you to go to Naha, but it is very rude to negotiate without qualifications!"
"Then can you make the decision with full authority?" Ulan Geli asked.
"I'm sorry, only the head of state has the final say in such negotiations, and I can only be partially responsible!" Cai Bixia said.
"Then there's nothing left to talk about! You can't make the decision. I still hope to interview the head of state in person...even if I go to Naha!"
Wulan Geli pushed his eyes away, closed the folder, leaned back on the chair and looked at Cai Bixia quietly.
The two looked at each other for a minute, both testing each other's patience! Suddenly Cai Bixia laughed, "Haha... It turns out that senior doesn't trust me! Indeed, I'm still too young, and I'm still a woman. It makes sense for you not to trust me!"
"Since you don't want to talk, then don't talk... The embassy will have a rich luncheon soon, with the best wine and the best Chinese food. All ministers must try it!"
"Okay... Come here, bring fruits and iced drinks to all the ministers!"
Why! Cai Bixia simply used softness to overcome strength. Instead of confronting you Wulan Geli, I will use a curve to put pressure!
The door opened again, and various iced fruit plates were brought in. Watermelons, peaches, plums...all kinds of fruits harvested in the capital in midsummer were cut into beautiful shapes and served!
Ice-cold sour plum soup, mung bean drink, lotus seed and white fungus soup...all kinds of summer-relieving drinks were also placed on the table!
Cai Bixia handed Wulan Geli a cup of mung bean paste and said with a smile, "Mr. Minister, this is a good thing for clearing fire. Please drink more..."
After delivering a bowl of soup, Cai Bixia simply stood up and chatted with the other ambassadors. The European envoys in the room stopped sitting upright and stood up and started chatting with a smile while holding various drinks.
Ulan Geli was so stupid now that he was left hanging like this!
