Fang Lang's words were like a bolt of lightning, knocking Mr. Qiao and his wife to the spot. They finally understood what Fang Lang meant by strategic intelligence.
It was obvious that they were here to issue a war warning to them. The newly established country was about to face the most powerful military power in the world. Such a crisis made the two people's hair stand on end and cold sweat instantly wet their entire backs.
Gong Wei originally suspected that Fang Lang was sent by the United States to sow discord between the country and the Soviet Union, but now the other party finally concluded that he would face the risk of war with the United States.
This obviously contradicted his suspicion, and for a moment she was a little confused as to what was going on. But Mr. Qiao's eyes were deep, and he began to look at Fang Lang with a look of gratitude.
"General Fang, thank you for your information, I will report the relevant situation immediately!"
Hearing this, Fang Lang just smiled and continued to speak calmly:
"Actually, in my opinion, this matter may not be a good thing for us."
Mr. Qiao and his wife were obviously taken aback by Fang Lang's words. No matter what he meant, the Americans would come knocking on their door. They said it was not a bad thing.
What kind of truth is this?
Before Gong Wei could speak, Mr. Qiao looked puzzled, but asked with a very calm face:
"Oh! Why does General Fang think so?"
When Fang Lang heard this, he glanced at the puzzled couple in front of him, smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then slowly said:
“First of all, I am sure that the loving father of Steel who was willing to support Mr. Kim in launching a unification war must have received wrong intelligence and believed that the Americans would not interfere in the situation on the peninsula.
Perhaps, he feels that we cannot be used by him, so he wants to support an obedient younger brother in East Asia to contain us.
But I dare to tell you clearly that once the situation on the peninsula changes, the Americans will 100% intervene.
If the Confederate Army could withstand the Northern Army's attack, the Americans might intervene in the form of military assistance.
If the Southern Army behaves very arrogantly, they will have no choice but to die personally. What's worse, they may recruit some allies to form a new Eight-Nation Alliance Army in the name of maintaining world peace.
And what do you think the Soviet Union will do once the Americans take action in person? "
Hearing this, Mr. Qiao and Gong Wei looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes. They knew very well that the northern part of the peninsula not only borders China, but also borders the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union will never allow the United States to occupy the Northern Peninsula. This is the same reason that the United States will not allow the Northern Peninsula to occupy the Southern Peninsula.
"You mean the Soviet Union will directly send troops?"
In the end, it was Gong Wei, the lesbian, who spoke first. Hearing this question, Fang Lang smiled, nodded, and shook his head.
"That's not necessarily true, but I guess even if they send troops, they won't do it blatantly. Because once they go out personally, the situation may become uncontrollable.
This is what neither they nor the Americans want to see. "
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Qiao immediately understood what Fang Lang meant. He looked at Fang Lang with deep eyes and said meaningfully:
"So, General Fang means that we can use this matter as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Soviets?"
When Mr. Qiao asked this question, Fang Lang knew that his biggest goal today had been achieved. He couldn't help laughing and said:
"This is not my place to comment. The main purpose of my coming today is to tell you that there will be an unprecedented crisis in Northeast China.
Danger is often accompanied by opportunities. The greater the danger, the greater the opportunity. I believe that with the wisdom of your leaders, you will be able to seize the opportunities. "
Hearing Fang Lang's comments about their leader, Mr. Qiao and his wife couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you, General Fang, for the reminder! If this situation is true, it will be of great help to us."
Fang Lang smiled and waved his hand, took a sip of tea and said:
"This is the obligation that every Chinese should fulfill. I still say the same thing, only when our motherland is strong can we overseas Chinese truly straighten our spines.
In fact, it is very simple to verify this information. After getting the consent of the loving father of Steel, Mr. Jin immediately made his request, that is, to use next year's loan in advance, and the other party immediately agreed to this request.
As long as you investigate Mr. Jin's loan usage, it should be clear whether this information is true or false! "
Mr. Qiao, who was smiling all over his face, was also very happy after hearing Fang Lang's words. If this was the case, it would be much easier to confirm.
Looking at Fang Lang, he couldn't help but feel curious. How did he obtain such confidential information? Since he already knew it, would the United States also know it in advance?
Thinking of this, the smile on his face couldn't help but gradually fade away.
"General Fang, I wonder where you got this information? Apart from you, is there anyone else who has received the same information?"
Fang Lang was stunned when he heard this. Of course he obtained this information from the history of later generations, but of course this cannot be said. As for whether anyone else knows this information, it is hard to say.
When he was in Japan, he had discussed with John the possibility of war on the peninsula. Although he was only analyzing it, would John report it? It's really hard to say.
"I can't say the source of this information. As for whether anyone else can receive the same information, it's hard to say for the time being. I think it's best for you to treat it as if others can also receive it."
His meaning was very clear. He could not guarantee that others would not receive this information. Once the Americans receive this information, they will definitely prepare in advance, and the difficulty of the war will inevitably increase.
After hearing what Fang Lang said, Mr. Qiao couldn't help but frown tightly, but he couldn't say much about this kind of thing, so he could only nodded helplessly and said:
"I understand, I will convey your words to my superiors truthfully!"
Fang Lang didn't want the other party to continue delving into the source of his intelligence, so he directly changed the topic:
"There is a second thing to do in today's meeting. I have been entrusted by the Governor of Hong Kong, Mr. Grantham, to convey a message to you."
Mr. Qiao and his wife obviously did not expect that Fang Lang would suddenly act as an intermediary to help the Hong Kong Governor with the message. This made them a little nervous. Gong Wei even said directly:
"What, does the Governor already know that you are coming to meet us?"
Seeing the nervous look on the other party's face, Fang Lang smiled, waved his hands indifferently and said:
"Don't worry! They don't know that I will meet you. It's just that when I first arrived in Hong Kong City, I called on everyone to solve the problems in Hong Kong City through peaceful means and told them that I could help them connect.
That’s why Mr. Governor of Hong Kong took the initiative to find me and asked me to help bring you a message. "
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Qiao and his wife relaxed, with a smile on their lips. After all, Fang Lang's speech on the dock of the port city had already been disseminated through newspapers.
That speech not only showed Fang Lang's views on the future of the port city, but also showed that Fang Lang's coming this time was not to support the British. It made the British's early political propaganda and welcome ceremony anticlimactic. , which caused a lot of jokes.
As observers from their hometown in Hong Kong City, of course they had a detailed understanding of this matter. Now when I heard Fang Lang mention it again, I immediately understood what was going on and couldn't help but smile.
"Haha... He has found a suitable candidate. I wonder what words he wants to bring!"
Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help laughing. After laughing, Fang Lang coughed twice and said seriously to Mr. Qiao and his wife:
"His original words were: The port city has always been rented by us and will be returned to you one day. If you want to unilaterally take back the port city now, we will definitely destroy it and divert funds before withdrawing. In the end, you will just You can get an empty shell.
And if you can follow the agreement and take back the port city when the contract expires, you will probably be able to get a complete port city. "
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Qiao and his wife were silent for a while. After a long while, Mr. Qiao slowly spoke:
"What he said is exactly what we are concerned about. I have to say that Mr. Grantham is quite pragmatic."
"Yes! At that time, when he said these words to me, I was also shocked. But when you calm down and think carefully, you will find that what he said is very reasonable."
Fang Lang also said with emotion.
When Mr. Qiao saw that Fang Lang seemed deeply touched, he couldn't help but smile and said:
"Then General Fang thinks it's appropriate for us to regain the port city at this time?"
Fang Lang didn't expect that Mr. Qiao would ask him this question, but he only thought about it briefly and answered directly:
"Emotionally speaking, I hope to regain Hong Kong City as soon as possible. But intellectually speaking, I think what Mr. Grantham said is reasonable."
Although this answer gave two answers, in fact, Mr. Qiao already understood Fang Lang's attitude.
"I understand what you mean, please rest assured! We will truthfully report your and Mr. Ge's opinions to our superiors."
As a diplomat, Mr. Qiao is not suitable to express his position directly on many matters.
But Fang Lang had no scruples at all, because he didn't have to live in his hometown. Even if someone was dissatisfied with his speech, they couldn't do anything to him.
Therefore, after Fang Lang thought for a while, he decided to say one more thing.
"If we consider the upcoming war on the peninsula, I think it is better not to close the port now. You must know that once the United States intervenes in the war, they will definitely find a way to completely block the country and prevent any war preparation materials from flowing in.
At this time, the role of the port city will become extremely important. Because, here and Haojiang will become the only channels for domestic communication with the international community.
It is also a window that can provide domestic war preparation supplies. Although this area may also be included in the blockade by the Americans, the British will definitely find ways to lift this blockade. This is our opportunity. "
Mr. Qiao's eyes moved when he heard this, and he unconsciously began to think seriously about Fang Lang's words. In fact, what Fang Lang said is very simple and can be easily understood by ordinary people. Naturally, Mr. Qiao will not understand it.
But of course the problem he wanted to think about was not that simple. After he pondered for a while, he said directly:
"It seems that General Fang has decided that we will inevitably be involved in this war, right?"
Hearing this, Fang Lang was startled for a moment, then quickly reacted, couldn't help laughing and said:
"I don't know if you will be involved in this war. But if it were me, I would definitely take the initiative to participate in this war, and I would find a way to limit the battlefield to the peninsula and never let the Americans have the opportunity to take over the war. The fire is coming to our own territory.”
As soon as he said this, Mr. Qiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a deep look at Fang Lang with a serious expression and said:
"Do you think we can beat the Americans?"
Fang Lang is very clear about the outcome of this war, and he also wants to give a clear answer directly, but everything is still unclear. If he directly says that he can win, he may make the other party feel arrogant. He even deliberately incited them to join the war, wondering if he had ulterior motives.
Therefore, after thinking for a moment, he said directly:
"Whether we can win or not is not important, but whether we dare to fight or not is important. If we back down this time, the Americans will think we are weak and can be bullied, and we will be passive everywhere in the future.
Instead of feeling uncomfortable in the future, it is better to go all out and hit him with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches! "
