Age of Rebirth

Originally, Tang Qiuli didn't even want to give this bit of etiquette to the British. To put it nicely, it was a negotiating delegation. In fact, given the current situation of the British in India, summation and surrender are almost the same. Leaving himself, he didn't take this so-called negotiation seriously!

The guard came in to report that the British had arrived at the entrance of the command department. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe looked at the teacher with dismissive eyes and said with a smile: "Master, I'd better go to greet you, after all, we are a country of etiquette. , "Seeing that Tang Qiuli didn't comment, he smiled, turned around and left.

Before reaching the door, I saw from a distance that the British were busy arranging their clothes, with a serious and airy look, and secretly laughed in their hearts, "Our teacher is calm and breezy, but you are as calm as you are at the same time." The enemy's posture has not even started yet, but in terms of momentum, he lost a bit first. Although I don't know the specific plan of the commander, but based on the commander's personality and consistent style, the British will definitely not take advantage of it!"

He glanced coldly at the British, fixed on the four people in the front, and said in pure English: "I am Zhao Yuhe, Chief of Staff of the Independent Division of the Chinese Army, and I am here to welcome some of you under the order of our division commander. , don’t know how to call them?”

Zhao Yuhe's English is excellent, eliminating the need for translation, which made Governor Pajvasari, Foreign Minister Charlie Brown, Chief of Staff General Brandes, and Secretary General of the Prime Minister's Office George Fernand The four of them were surprised. [

This young major general turned out to be a high-ranking general, with no barriers to language communication, decent manners, and a graceful demeanor. He exuded a heroic aura all over his body, which made people feel good at first sight.

The four introduced themselves respectively. Charlie Brown, the Foreign Secretary, is a veteran of diplomacy.Knowing the importance of the first impression, as Tang Qiuli's chief of staff, he should have a very important say if he has a good impression of the delegation.At critical times, I don't expect to be able to speak for myself, but if I don't have any emotional color, I can turn the situation around to a certain extent.

Bringing the relationship between the two closer is Charlie Brown's forte, thinking of this.Taking a step forward, like an old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years, he said with a lot of tongue: "So it's General Zhao! I've heard about the name for a long time, and I saw him today, and he is indeed very heroic. It is me who can meet General Zhao here. The happiest thing today!"

talking.He stretched out his hands from a long distance, and that posture was familiar and messed up.Tried and tested Bailing's tricks didn't work at all on Zhao Yuhe, Zhao Yuhe ignored him at all, turned a blind eye to the chubby hands stretched out in front of him, and said: "Several , please, our teacher is waiting for a few."

Stretch out your right hand.Making a gesture to invite in, taking the opportunity to invite in, he naturally avoided too much interaction with the Englishman. Charlie Brown withdrew his hand in embarrassment. This scene was seen by the two guards at the door.Looking at the twitching muscles on their faces, one can see how painful it is to suppress a smile.

Their guards and everywhere also followed in. The guards held their guns horizontally. Although they didn't speak, the expressions on their faces clearly told these British people that they would be impolite if they took another step forward. Let you stand upright. Come in and go out sideways.

General Brantes, the chief of staff, looked at Zhao Yuhe with disapproval, secretly annoyed, "Which country's rules do not allow you to bring followers when negotiating?" Zhao Yuhe said to the guards indifferently, " Hand over your weapons and let them in!"

After handing over the guns they carried with them to the Chinese soldiers, the good mood of these British people when they came from New Delhi in the morning was completely gone. Several young British officers thought angrily, "Isn't this bullying? There is no negotiation, just surrender the gun first!"

Soon, they were thankful for being able to hand over their weapons. From every corner of the yard, a fully armed officer with two weapons flashed out from time to time, with eyes without any emotion. Looking at these British people, they are all of military origin. These Chinese military officers exude the taste of iron-blooded soldiers, which is comparable to the words of these British and Indian army officers who have never been on the battlefield.

They can fully understand that if the man still has a weapon on his body, the next moment, the gun will beat him with blood holes all over his body. Governor Pajvasali's face turned pale. Too much pressure, and asked quietly: "Do you still have weapons on you?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Governor Pajvasali let out a sigh of relief. He didn't want his guards and guards to be blood-stained and fell under the guns of Chinese soldiers before the negotiations started. .

The negotiation room is elegantly furnished in an authentic Chinese style. On a small charcoal stove, a kettle with an elegant fragrance of tea makes slight rhythmic noises. There is only a huge South Asian subcontinent hanging on the wall. The map, also in such an environment, was a bit out of place. Seeing the British filing in, Tang Qiuli just raised his head slightly, and then turned his attention to the tea.

Zhao Yuhe walked up to Tang Qiuli and said, "This is our teacher Tang Qiuli, who is also the main negotiator of today's negotiation!" He introduced the identities of several people.

The four main members of the British delegation, Foreign Secretary Charlie Brown, Chief of Staff General Brandes, Secretary-General of the Prime Minister's Office George Fernance, and Governor Pajvasari exchanged horrified looks.

This is to kill Alexander's troops and Chelsea's troops one after another, and wipe out hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed in India. They killed all the way from northern Myanmar to the interior of India, and forced the British Empire to the negotiating table. Tang Qiuli?

Incredibly young, at the age of a monster, I am afraid that he is not even 30 years old. If it were not for Zhao Yuhe's introduction, they would never believe it. Tang Qiuli!

But the eyes as calm as the sea, the extraordinary temperament, the demeanor of the superior, and the four shining gold stars on the epaulets, once he did not prove his identity, the British were immersed in horror. In the negotiation room, for a while calm down.

It was Tang Qiuli who broke the silence, chuckled, and said: "There is an old saying in China, it's not easy to talk about friends coming from afar! But, you are not my friends, but my enemies, so I can't talk about it." If you are in a good mood, just do it reluctantly, come on, let go of unnecessary false etiquette and nonsense, and go directly to the topic!"

After speaking, he sat down at one end of a long table and enjoyed a sip of tea. His words were spoken in Chinese, and Zhao Yuhe translated them intact. Of course, Tang Qiuli's English was absolutely Quacking, Zhao Yuhe's words were standard, but on such an occasion, he didn't want to say it, and he didn't want to say it. Negotiating with the British in his own mother tongue, there was a sense of reluctance! [

After listening to Zhao Yuhe's translation, the expressions of the four old and cunning British people changed. They didn't know what it was like. They tasted Tang Qiuli's sharpness and directness for the first time. How can I describe it? The javelin is average!Domineering, direct, and unquestionable, it also shows strong self-confidence.

And it was such a remark that made the British, who had prepared diplomatic rhetoric and full of rhetoric, adapt to it. The prepared routine was useless at all, and they easily controlled the rhythm of the negotiation.

The foreign minister, Charlie Brown, was the main negotiator of the British side. After all, he was a seasoned veteran of diplomatic occasions. He immediately adjusted his mood, sat quietly opposite Tang Qiuli, and secretly gave the three full-fledged The senior officer with a distasteful face winked, and the three sat down with displeasure in their hearts.

Charlie Brown is not worried about Admiral Brandes, nor Governor Pajvasali, but about George Fernance, Secretary General of the Prime Minister's Office. This guy has a fiery temper. In addition, he is deeply loved by Prime Minister Churchill. Trust, the boss in the country is used to it, and has developed a domineering character, and if he disagrees with him, he can get angry.

But what is this place?It's the territory of the Chinese Tang Qiuli. You're not asking for trouble if you try to show off your prestige here. What are we doing here? We're here to negotiate. The only goal is to achieve the goal. Others can be tolerated. Or, Tang Qiuli's words are correct. Just a few hours ago, soldiers of the Chinese army were still fighting in the interior of India. What is the relationship with the enemy?

Seeing that George Fernance's face was ashen, and finally he didn't say anything that caused trouble, Charlie Brown secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and said in an elegant voice: "Dear General Tang, you have also read the terms of our British Empire's negotiations, and , our side has not received the terms you proposed, can I take it that you fully agree with our terms?"

Tang Qiuli smiled indifferently and did not speak, but this incomprehensible smile made Charlie Brown, who was good at observing words and expressions, flicker in his heart. His silence did not mean that this arrogant Chinese had nothing to say. In his smile, There are too many incomprehensible meanings, whether you completely agree or disagree, you can't tell from his face!

Opponents who don't accept the move can't find out the flaws in his language, and can't proceed with the next plan. Originally, they wanted to play Tang Qiuli's hole card, but when he didn't speak, it turned out that he showed it first. The hole card will be very passive.

No way, Charlie Brown continued: "Since you did not raise any different opinions, General Tang, I think we can sign the relevant documents. This time, our British Empire has shown absolute sincerity. I hope General Tang can understand us. the difficulties!"

It seemed that the British had been prepared for a long time. Immediately, an attendant brought up a large pile of documents. Charlie Brown looked at Tang Qiuli with a polite smile.

Tang Qiuli's attention finally shifted from the tea to the negotiation. Looking at the expectant Englishman, he said calmly, "Mr. Charlie Brown, I think you made a mistake?"
