There were more than a dozen envoys from the Eastern European Federation. Among them were the former president of Switzerland and the current executive officer of the Swiss region, Joseph Paul. There was also a German princess, Zhu Liyan, who was humiliated by Zhang Jingyuan - she represented Germany; There are the rest of those countries, some of which have their own representatives.
"Mr. Zhang, we meet again. You are still not a bit old!" Joseph Paul, who had some gray hair, smiled wryly. Since the last meeting with Zhang Jingyuan, the situation in Switzerland has begun to decline. One of the reasons is that Switzerland is too small and does not have much heritage. Added to this is the sharp deterioration of international trends. Let’s just say that right now, there is basically no food trade in the world: if you can’t produce it yourself, you’re just waiting to starve! You can't buy it even if you have money, let alone, the current currency has basically lost its ability to circulate internationally. As for mineral resources - these things have nothing to do with Switzerland.
So much pressure has come down that Joseph Paul, who is still in his prime, has become old. In fact, the current Joseph Paul is less than 40 years old, not as old as the current chairman of China! But the two of them seemed to be opposites.
At this time, the calm and generous Zhu Liyan also came and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you still remember me?"
"Oh... beautiful Miss Zhu Liyan, it's nice to see you again." Zhang Jingyuan's expression was as exaggerated as he wanted to be. By the way, looking back now, I was really a bit fucked up back then, so now, I am really embarrassed to face this strong woman, this strong diplomatic woman who single-handedly supported Germany.
Now Zhu Liyan is no longer as green as she was ten years ago. On the contrary, there is a kind of maturity, a kind of noble and holy beauty. Under today's technological conditions, people in their 30s do not look old, but have a rose-like charm.
"Mr. Zhang, I suddenly understand what you said. I don't think it will take 20 years, 10 years is enough. China is an excellent country; and Gaoshou Company is the top group company in the world. I think, I already understand part of the reason why Gaoshou Company rejected us in the first place." However, at this time, Zhu Liyan suddenly smiled and the corners of her mouth raised slightly. The corners of his eyes trembled slightly. There was some holy and noble aura just now, but it instantly took on the temptation of a rose: "Jingyuan, look, if the Eastern European Federation and China unite now, will I be lucky enough to enter your world? Don't worry. I won't Competing for favor. And I am still single and have not dated any man.”
"Um..." Zhang Jingyuan's mind was spinning for a while, and he didn't know how to answer. In theory. Zhang Jingyuan feels that his life is very good now; it's not like he has any hobbies. Although the woman in front of him is beautiful, she can't move Zhang Jingyuan's heart. But the other party has a precondition: if the Eastern European Federation and China unite!
This condition made Zhang Jingyuan hesitate. Well, are you sacrificing yourself to achieve success for the nation... It seems like this question is worth considering...
A cold gaze instantly made Zhang Jingyuan feel threatened...
"Ahem, Miss Zhu Liyan, I admit that you are very beautiful, and I am very attracted to you. But I already have three wives. In addition, regarding the national alliance, you may need to go to our chairman. It is useless to go to me. ”
"Hee hee, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang is also a sweet-tempered person." A trace of disappointment flashed deep in Zhu Liyan's eyes, but she did not dare to underestimate this strong woman, especially the strong woman with a strong personality, her tone became more and more gentle: " Jingyuan, I still have that sweater with your handprint on it..."
Watching the rose walk away, Zhang Jingyuan felt the temperature around him begin to drop.
"Ayuan, what were you thinking about just now?" Zhou Feixuan's tone was so gentle.
"Well, I'm wondering what kind of medicine is being sold in the Eastern European Union's gourd this time!" Zhang Jingyuan said in a majestic voice.
"Really? But I saw someone staring at other people's buttocks for a long time!!!" Zhou Feixuan showed her little fangs.
Zhang Jingyuan's expression changed: "You are wrong, I was meditating!"
"Okay, I made a mistake." Zhou Feixuan's voice lowered, and then suddenly raised a lot, "She said there is another sweater with your fingerprints on it!!!"
"Ahem, Xuanxuan, you know, she turned out to be a spy, and I fought against her."
Really... A look that looked like a smile but not a smile flashed in Zhou Feixuan's eyes!
Fortunately, Chairman Huaxia solved Zhang Jingyuan's dilemma at this time: representatives of the Eastern European Federation finally started formal exchanges with Huaxia.
Joseph Paul looked a little sad: "Dear Chairman of China, we are here to seek union with China on behalf of the Eastern European Federation this time. I hope we have time to have a good talk."
This sentence made Chairman Huaxia think about it for a long time! Although I have said it before, speaking over the phone and speaking in person are two completely different concepts! Saying it in person in person almost means that you will not regret it! It is an almost decisive performance.
But after all, Chairman Huaxia did not directly ask why superficially. Instead, Zhang Jingyuan and others were summoned to negotiate together. I don’t know when Zhang Jingyuan has become the uncrowned king of China. Just like now, it is impossible to bypass the master company in such alliances and negotiations! The Baojian Group, which has received extra care from the master company, has strong potential and is determined to serve the country, has also received attention.
When the international alliance is vertical and horizontal, China has to gather all the domestic forces as much as possible. That's why Zhang Jingyuan and others were summoned to participate in such negotiations. In peacetime, this would be a no-brainer.
After everyone sat down, Chairman Hua Xia was the first to speak: "Mr. Ambassador, as far as I know, the Western world has united now. Why do you want to sacrifice the near and far away and unite with China? You know, China is fighting alone now."
"Dear Chairman Hua Xia, I want to say that we really come here with sincerity this time. Please don't doubt our sincerity. In fact, there are some things that need not be said and everyone knows it.
Although these alliances of Western countries are said to be several federal states. But there are hundreds of moderately independent countries here, and everyone has their own ideas. The entire alliance exists in name only. They say they want to unite, but in fact everyone is more in intrigue and holding back each other!
On the contrary, China is one of the few powerful and independent countries in the world today. It uses the power of one country to compete with the entire world.
Regardless of the analysis from various aspects such as rationality and reality, we are optimistic about China. In this case, we must not find a way for the Eastern European Federation to survive.
In fact, the current Eastern European Federation looks pretty good, but look closer. It is entirely supported by Germany. Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic and other countries combined. It can be counted as half of Germany; as for the rest, they are all small countries.
For historical reasons, Germany has tense relations with its two giant neighbors. One is Russia and the other is the current Western European Federation.
In fact, before making this decision. We also thought about it for a long time. But the end result is. We need support from China. More importantly, we need to do this for our nation and country in this era. Find a way out, a promising path. ”
The people from China did not answer the call immediately, but were thinking. Could this be a Western strategy? You know, these days, there are often things that only you can’t think of, and no one else can think of! Don't be careful.
"Mr. Ambassador, please forgive me for not fully trusting you. After all, the security of a country rests on my shoulders. I must be responsible for this country. So, I have to ask, how can you prove the sincerity of the Eastern European Federation!
Needless to say those so-called premises. You also know that China has always been famous for its strategies, which also leads us to view some things with suspicion. ”
"Dear Chairman of China, I understand your concerns. But you may not understand the real current situation of Western countries. In order to develop space technology, we, especially our Eastern European Federation, have spent our last coin. We The fiscal deficit has reached 1.1 trillion marks. In the Eastern European Federation, except for the countries mentioned above, the remaining countries are too small to take care of themselves and cannot provide strong support to this federation.
< br>
Among the Western federal countries, we not only have bad relations with other federations, but we are also at a disadvantage overall. After comprehensive comparison and consideration, if we want to truly survive, we can only rely on China. In fact, most of the aerospace equipment we use now comes from Chinese technology. "Joseph Paul's face became increasingly bitter, and his posture was almost as low as undignified. "If China can accept the Eastern European Federation, we can issue global statements and announcements; we can even express specifically that if we later betray China, China will They have the right to attack us at any time, and the whole world does not need to stop them. ”
Huh...all the negotiators in China looked at Joseph Paul. This is no longer a union, but: surrender! It just means joining in as a younger brother.
"Of course, we also have conditions. That is, to ensure the continuation of our nation. If a global war of destruction really occurs in the future, please ensure the continuation of our race and country, and ensure that we have a piece of our own land, enough land Used for self-control. The territory should not be less than half of the current Eastern European Federation!”
"Why are you so pessimistic? To be honest, your pessimism is beyond our imagination!" Zhang Jingyuan also thought about it for a long time before speaking. Joseph Paul's attitude was more like that of a dying man asking for help.
At this moment, Joseph Paul thought for a long time before speaking slowly: "Just last month, the largest coal mines and iron mines in our Eastern European Federation have been exhausted! We have already had to plan to dig up the Alps to find the New sources of mineral resources But the progress is not ideal now.
In other words, in today's space competition, we have lost the source of steel! "Zhang Jingyuan nodded silently. That's it! In any case, we cannot deny that humankind's current technology, if summarized one-sidedly, is an era of steel technology! You can do without coal, because electricity can replace most of coal in industry! But you can't live without steel, because this is the skeleton of this era! (To be continued...)
