Chapter 436: Use the French to Force the French to Surrender
"You, you..."
What is diplomacy? In more elegant words, it means speaking the most barbaric words in the most civilized language; in more vulgar words, it means seeing who is more gangster. Gosmo considers himself an excellent, civilized hooligan, but he has never met a guy like Qin Wei. This is no longer just a gangster, it has been upgraded to a robber. But robber-level diplomacy should not be a means used by the strong against the weak when the strength of the two sides is hugely different. Why is it China's turn to use France today? And it is just a Chinese general who takes action?
Ge Simo was a little confused for a moment, but he was still an excellent diplomat after all, and he was a representative of a country. He quickly understood Qin Wei's intention:
"This guy wants to deliberately disrupt my rhythm so that I can't really ask them... So what does his behavior mean? Just like the war between them and Japan has reached this point, but they are still unwilling to declare war, which means they don't want to offend France further? Yes, it must be true! They don't want to add France to the target of the war, but they don't know how to avoid it, so they can only avoid talking. They should seize their psychology and force them to let go of the encirclement of North Vietnam."
Ge Simo believed that he understood Qin Wei's plan, and even the entire National Civil Affairs Axe, so he no longer paid attention to Qin Wei's low-level and naked frame-up, and he was about to speak when he straightened his chest. However, Qin Wei did not give him a chance to speak:
"Mr. Ambassador, I want to protest!"
"ah?"
Gosmo was stunned again.
"I want to protest the harm caused by the French Indochina authorities under your French government to our Chinese people. You must make compensation and apologize for this. Otherwise, our government will take decisive measures to protect our people." Qin Wei said righteously.
"What did you say?" Gosmo was stunned and angry, "Have you hurt the Chinese people? We did not participate in the war, so where did you hurt your people? It was obvious that you invaded our French territory for no reason, and now you are directly surrounded by our French Indochina authorities, and even set up a "no sailing zone" in the Beibu Gulf to prevent our ships from transporting various daily necessities to our staff... Do you dare to say that you want us to apologize?"
"Mr. Ambassador, you should not be so shameless." Qin Wei sighed, "Especially, an ambassador like you represents the image of a country. You should pay more attention to protecting your image, and talk nonsense like this. What do you regard diplomatic work as?"
"General Qin, please explain it clearly..."
In person, he scolded the ambassador of a country for being shameless!? Gosmo almost got angry and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. He had never met such a person in his life, let alone such a thing. That is, everyone is civilized now. A hundred and eighty years ago, he would throw Qin Wei a pair of white gloves because of this sentence.
"Mr. Ambassador, I want to protest the persecution of our people by the French Indochina authorities to your country and the robbery of their private property!" Qin Wei put away his smile and snapped his fingers. After a while, someone came in with a large bag of documents.
"What is this?" Gosmo asked in a deep voice.
"Evidence!" Qin Wei said coldly: "The French Indochina authorities persecuted Vietnamese Chinese and robbed evidence of their property. They not only used their power to force Chinese who were doing business to give up their careers, but also charged them heavy taxes, and constantly incited Vietnamese indigenous people to harass and bully the Chinese, and even kill them. In addition, after accepting the management of the Japanese, they directly acted as the Japanese, providing information about local Chinese for Japan, and leading the Japanese to drive away, loot, and kill Chinese... Mr. Ambassador, you want to protest that we blocked the Beibu Gulf, but before that, please answer me first, what would you do if someone treated your French people like this?"
"I don't believe it." Go back to the point! Ge Simo once again understood Qin Wei's purpose in an instant. He protested, and Qin Wei also protested... It was just to protest against protest and then to ruin the matter. This method was just a pediatrician for him, and it also made him see that Qin Wei was so timid and weak on the inside... If he was really not afraid of anything and was not afraid of turning against them with French political axe, why bother so much? He directly blocked him outside the door and ignored him, and then commanded the troops to fight? Think about Chiang Kai-shek's reaction before refusing to meet, but just pushed the negotiation task to Qin Wei. This is not obvious that the other party is afraid that things will be beyond the scope of acceptance. If he makes a mistake, can anyone come forward to save it? Otherwise, for foreign affairs, why don't even come forward to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but instead ask a general to stand out? In the final analysis, it is because the general cannot represent the country, and there is more room for maneuver after the negotiation fails!
"As far as I know, most Chinese in Vietnam live in the south. After the Japanese took over French Indochina, most of the troops were placed on the south bank of the Red River to fight against the Gui [***] team that invaded Vietnam without authorization! Therefore, General Qin, I do not recognize the real surname of these information provided by you." I thought that after seeing the reality of the Chinese political axe, Gosmo became more confident and his attitude became stronger: "On the contrary, your country should explain the act of invading French Indochina without authorization and make corresponding compensation. At the same time, withdraw all troops in French Indochina."
"Is this your request?" Qin Wei asked with a frown.
"This is the requirement of the French political axe." Gosmer said solemnly.
"Mr. Ambassador, we cannot accept your approach, and we will not accept it at all. If you insist, please..." Qin Wei stood up and pointed at the door with a cold face.
"General, whether you accept it or not, this will be our request, and no matter when, your country can only accept it." Xiao Yang, still pretending to me? Gosmo slowly stood up and kept sneering in his heart. He has been in China for almost a year, and his ex-girlfriend also told him how the Chinese people do things. As a diplomat, he believes that he already knows these people very well. After all, the Chinese people are too proud of their face, but they have no inner qualities, so they will always surrender in the end. Although France is no longer the previous France, and it is even a defeated country, France's overall strength has not been greatly damaged. The Chinese should understand this very well, and this is also his confidence.
"Maybe, Chiang Kai-shek just didn't want to bear the pressure from France anymore, so he handed over this negotiation to a general, right?"
With this speculation, Ge Simo left. But he didn't know that as soon as he left Qin Wei's living room, Bai Chongxi and Xu Tingyao came out of the back door.
"I don't know, I finally understand what the 'romantic French' you said before means." Bai Chongxi looked at the direction where Go Simo left, shook his head, "Why do they feel good about themselves? Do you think this is the Qing Dynasty?"
"In the eyes of these white people, there is no big difference between the Republic of China and the Qing Dynasty." After giving up seats to Bai Chongxi and the others, Qin Wei picked up the teapot and poured a cup for each of them. "In fact, there are still many Europeans who think that there is a pig tail behind our heads."
"It's outrageous." Xu Tingyao couldn't help but burst into anger when she heard this, "Who has the right to look down on us if you defeated the country?"
"Because even if they lose, they are still quite strong." Qin Wei smiled, "and, blackmail is just the most ordinary diplomatic method and it is nothing."
"When I came, I heard that there were already many reporters waiting in front. Will this 'romantic' French ambassador say all his requests?" Xu Tingyao thought for a while and asked with a smile. Gosmo shouldn't have come to Guilin, and he got into a trap as soon as he came. Because in Hanoi, the French Indochina authorities, which were surrounded by North Vietnam, were already contacted by the people from the Military Control Commission Vietnam Station. These people who were no longer qualified to participate in the war did not want to fight at all. Because whether they lost or won, they were already losers. Since that is the case, why are they still trying their best? But as an important town in North Vietnam, the Japanese are the ones who are not qualified to participate in the war.
It is impossible to give up Hanoi. And he was surrounded by an encirclement and felt that the situation was not good, and he was in a bad mood. He not only asked the French to provide them with various supplies, but also asked them to gather the few colonial troops, obey the command and prepare to participate in the battle... The French cannot be without romance, red wine, or women, but now the people of the French Indochina authorities are not in the mood to care about these things. Because they suddenly found that if they obeyed the Japanese arrangements in this way, they would likely lose their lives in the subsequent war.
Why should we fight to the death in a war that has little to do with us? The military commander contacted this group of people at the right time. Unfortunately, although these people were moved, they were not really moved. They seemed to want to maintain the honor of France. The most important thing is that these people believed that the French political axe could save them. And since there was hope, why should we bear the reputation of a surrender?
If there were no Qin Wei, perhaps the hopes of these French people would have come true. But Qin Wei not only wanted to eliminate the Japanese army that surrounded the three divisions, but also wanted to eliminate them more easily. This required the help of the Frenchmen in Hanoi. But how could these naive French people understand the situation and surrender? Just as Gosmo jumped out himself, so a condom was ready... Thinking of this, Xu Tingyao secretly felt sad for Gosmo. You said that you, a French ambassador, have a high IQ, why do you like to do stupid things? Isn't it enough to rescue your own people? You have to save the Japanese together. Yes, he could see that Gosmo's main goal was to save French Indochina. Because if these three divisions of the Japanese army were
The regiment had nothing to do, and easily jumped out of the encirclement. Then the Chinese team was impossible, and perhaps they would not dare to continue to occupy Vietnam. Because the Chinese navy was not good, Vietnam was just on the sea. What about Japan? No matter for the favor of these three divisions or for the failure to "protect" Vietnam and other places before, there was no reason to ask France for this land. In this way, French Indochina was still from France. This was equivalent to a great contribution from Gosmo. After that, no matter whether it was Vichy's continued power or other political axes, it could not erase his achievements in keeping an important colony, and his status was stable. But even though Gosmo was smart, he still forgot one thing: France was a defeated country.
Qin Wei just deliberately induced him, making him think that China did not want to offend France too much. No matter how he performed in the end, the outside world would report that the French ambassador wanted to rescue the Japanese together. This would be a heavy hammer for the French in Hanoi! Being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, the war could begin at any time. His ambassador was not in a hurry to save him, but wanted to rescue the people who were in trouble? Is this possible? Just let himself wait for the arrival of artillery fire in Hanoi? The Chinese have already said that during the Battle of Shanghai, Britain, France and other countries performed extremely poorly, and they actually allowed the Japanese to attack the [***] team through the concession. Therefore, they would not set up any safe zone in this battle. Anyone who stood in front of them was the enemy!
"I'm most likely able to say it. Even if I can't say it now, there will be reports on this in the newspaper tomorrow." Qin Wei shrugged, "But I didn't expect this guy to cooperate so much. I thought I had to play with him for a few more days and guide him."
"If the French Indochina authorities surrender, then we will have 80% of our victory in this battle, and it may be a quick victory." Bai Chongxi calculated the current battlefield situation. "If this is the case, the Japanese would not have enough time to rescue Baiwu Qingji and the others."
"What a pity. If I hadn't wanted to leave more strength for the Japanese to go south, I would have really attacked Taiwan. If that was the case, I would have to care about what Vietnam was not like?" Qin Wei stretched hard, "Don't look for me in wars in the future... I haven't had a good sleep for many days? It's too bad!"
"You're so embarrassed to say?" Bai Chongxi was quite happy at first, but he was angry when he heard this. "We two old men arranged military affairs for hundreds of thousands of people every day. You are a deputy commander-in-chief and only show up every few days. Do you dare to say you have a loss?"
"Nonsense. I always say a few words, behind the scenes. When did you ever face the enemy head-on?" Qin Wei rolled his eyes naturally, "And this kind of large-scale battle command is not my profession, and you are not an old man. You are only forty-seven years old. Is it good to be the year of fighting?"
"Okay, let's not talk about these for now." Xu Tingyao stopped the two of them, "I solved the French, and now there is only one problem left, that is, the Chinese who were arrested to Hanoi... what should I do?" (To be continued.
