Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

"Boil the frog in warm water? What does that mean?" Gao Hongwei didn't understand, so he asked directly.

"We require the Kingdom of Greece to fully open its market. Our Chinese products can enter the Kingdom of Greece with zero tariffs. With the quality of our Chinese products, we can fully occupy the market of the Kingdom of Greece within three months."

"Occupying the market of the Kingdom of Greece will inevitably lead to a large number of local people being unemployed. We will then build a large number of factories to absorb the unemployed Greeks and quell public grievances. In this process, the Kingdom of Greece will be integrated into China's economic circle. It will be firmly held by us in China, and Greece is the frog that was boiled to death in warm water."

Gao Hongwei suddenly realized, "I understand, Lin Shuai, I'll go get ready now."

Gao Hongwei went back to make preparations, and in the next day, the special envoy of King George I of the Kingdom of Greece, that is, the Consul General of the Kingdom of Greece in China, Adonis, came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with Gao Hongwei.

The name Adonis is a traditional Greek name. Few people in other European countries would give such a name. The original meaning of this name is "beautiful man", but this Adonis has nothing to do with a beautiful man at all. , he is bald and has a wretched face.

Adonis met with Gao Hongwei and put forward his own conditions. As Gao Hongwei had expected, Adonis proposed to return the seized Chinese warships and personnel and make compensation. After that, China and the Kingdom of Greece resumed diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level.

Of course Gao Hongwei would not agree and proposed the plan of "boiling frogs in warm water". Of course, Gao Hongwei couldn't say the word "boiling frogs in warm water".

When Adonis heard a series of plans proposed by Gao Hongwei, his face suddenly became extremely ugly. Adonis is not a fool, and knows the power of this plan.

Adonis squeezed out a wry smile, "Mr. Gao Hongwei, your country is doing this to put our Greek Kingdom in an oven and lock the door of the oven. Isn't that a bit too much?"

Gao Hongwei smiled softly, "Mr. Adonis, in fact, it is the people of your country who benefit from doing this. According to relevant statistics, the number of people who have access to electricity in your country now accounts for less than 80.00% of all citizens. I realized that if you agree with our plan, it will only take ten years for the number of people in your country to have access to electricity to reach [-]%.”

Adonis frowned tightly, "Mr. Gao Hongwei, you don't need to say any more, I need to go back and discuss this matter with His Majesty the King before making a decision."

Gao Hongwei smiled and pointed to the door, "You can go back, I'm going to talk with the special envoy of the Kingdom of Italy now." Gao Hongwei stood up and sent Adonis out of the reception room.

When Adonis walked out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, he met Beniamino, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Italy. The name Beniamino is also a traditional Italian name. He hurriedly asked: "Mr. Adonis, you and the Chinese How did the talk go?"

Adonis sighed, shook his head again and again, and said in a sad voice: "The talk was very bad, very bad, very very bad, the Chinese are too vicious, I really regret it now, I didn't agree with the British and Germans before His Majesty the King When cooperating, try your best to dissuade."

Beniamino asked in surprise: "Mr. Adonis, I have never heard that you have regretted anything, but now you regret it like this. What happened, and what conditions did the Chinese put forward?"

Of course, Adonis would not tell Beniamino about the talks with China. Doing so would be very detrimental to the Kingdom of Greece, so Adonis shook his head and left. Adonis returned to the post house and quickly put on Dressed casually, he went to the French embassy in China, where he sent a telegram directly to the British liaison officer in Greece.

Adonis' tone in the telegram was very strong: "Dear British friends, what did you say when you asked us to support you? You said that you would launch a blow to China in Eastern and Northern Europe that they could not cope with. But now, you What have you done?"

"Germany stopped after entering Ukraine and Belarus for more than 50 kilometers. Britain stood still in Sweden and said it would attack Murmansk, but there was no movement. Are you going to use our Kingdom of Greece as cannon fodder? Are you Deception, shameless deception!"

After the telegram was sent out, it was unknown whether the British had received it. Anyway, Adonis did not receive any reply. After waiting for more than an hour, Adonis left the French embassy angrily.

At the same time that Adonis sent the telegram, the negotiations between Beniamino, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Italy, and Gao Hongwei also began. Gao Hongwei did not guess the conditions of the Kingdom of Italy in advance, so he asked the Kingdom of Italy to state the terms of the armistice first.

Beniamino handed the armistice agreement to Gao Hongwei. Gao Hongwei glanced at the agreement and was furious on the spot. He saw that the agreement read: "The Kingdom of Italy admits that the Mediterranean incident was a misunderstanding caused by poor communication. , the Kingdom of Italy is willing to apologize to China and is willing to compensate China for some losses out of humanitarian considerations."

A long-planned attack turned out to be "a misunderstanding caused by poor communication", and the compensation for China's losses turned out to be "out of humanitarian considerations". Can the Kingdom of Italy be more shameless?

Gao Hongwei slapped the table on the spot and said angrily: "Mr. Beniamino, if your country has this attitude towards the Mediterranean incident, then there is no need for our negotiations to continue. Report to Lin Shuai and ask Lin Shuai to order the frontline troops to attack your country."

Beniamino hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Mr. Gao Hongwei, don't be angry, these things are easy to discuss, why don't you put forward China's conditions first?"

Gao Hongwei sneered, and repeated the plan of "boiling frogs in warm water". Beniamino's reaction was similar to that of Adonis, who shook his head and refused. Of course, Gao Hongwei would not be polite to Beniamino, and expressed his position on the spot ——If the Kingdom of Italy refuses to obey, China will deal the most severe blow to the Kingdom of Italy. China has not yet reported the revenge of the Mediterranean Campaign.

Beniamino hurriedly said: "Please China not to use force, we can discuss it again."

"May I ask your country, how much time do you need to discuss?"

"Give us three days, please?"

"Three days is absolutely impossible, I only give you one day."

"One day? Well, at this time tomorrow, I will give your country an answer."
