Chapter 1175 Meeting of the Big Three

In fact, in a sense, the lies fabricated by the British are indeed true. The supplies worth hundreds of thousands of pounds that they airdropped to Plastiras for several days were indeed sold to Long Jun by this villain .It's just that the price is not 75 pounds, but a mere 20 U.S. dollars. It is conceivable that if the British know that their things are being sold so cheaply, many people will be so angry that they will vomit blood.

With the emergence of the Plastiers incident, the situation in Britain began to change. Some newspapers and civil organizations began to question the foreign policy and the decision of the British army to participate in the civil war in Greece.At the same time, the Labor Party and the Liberal Party also began to take advantage of this favorable opportunity to launch merciless attacks on Churchill's cabinet in the House of Commons. They claimed that the warlike Churchill had tasted the sweetness from the war against the Germans, so he wanted to Taking a bigger bite out of the bloody cake of war, he will continue to instigate a more disastrous war regardless of the interests of the British country and the people, and the death of more than [-] British soldiers in Greece in the previous stage is the best way. prove.

The political power of this country is not afraid of external turmoil, but internal strife. In the UK, the new parliamentary election is about to start at this time. Which political party will organize the new cabinet and who will be the next prime minister depends to a large extent. performance at this stage.Originally, during the four years of World War II, the United Kingdom faced many problems such as a surge in unemployment, a sharp decline in people's living standards, and a widening gap between the rich and the poor, which made the Conservative Party's support rate continue to decline.If it weren't for the high prestige established by Churchill in the war, perhaps this term's cabinet would have collapsed long ago.In contrast, the Labor Party's proposal to use nationalization reforms to increase the employment rate and reduce the gap between the rich and the poor has won the support of most people in the UK.Fundamentally speaking, in the next parliamentary election, whether the Conservative Party can win again to obtain the power to form a cabinet has long been unknown.If at this juncture, Churchill continued to get entangled with the Chinese on the Greek issue, the consequences would undoubtedly be very serious.

It is precisely because of this consideration that a new argument began to appear in the Conservative Party, that is, to ask Churchill to reach an understanding with China on the Greek issue as soon as possible, and the final result was that the two sides stopped fighting.A ceasefire was achieved in the existing occupied area, so that the north and south of Greece reached a partition.

Helpless, Churchill finally had to agree to the cabinet's proposition. On the one hand, he got in touch with de Gaulle, hoping that France would convene a meeting and invite the Chinese emperor to Paris for negotiations to resolve the Greek issue peacefully.On the other hand, he issued an order to Scobie, the commander of the British Army stationed in Greece, to restrain the troops and not to have another conflict with the Dragon Army.

The intention of the peace talks from the British side was quickly conveyed to Guan Xuqing. The "peace-loving" Chinese emperor had a triumphant smile on his face. Peaceful negotiations with the British on Greece, but they refused, and now the offer for peaceful negotiations was first proposed by them, should we refuse? No, no, no, we cannot refuse, even though it seems right We are a bit unfair, but we still have to use peaceful means to solve the problem as much as possible. We have to prove that the empire is absolutely peace-loving"

There was a burst of laughter in the venue.

"Peaceful negotiation is good. No matter what the problem is, it is foolish to resort to war alone. However, this time, we have to do the opposite. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs conveyed my opinion to the United Kingdom , we agree to the request for peaceful negotiation, but the venue of the meeting must be set in Beijing, where I will welcome Mr. Churchill and Mr. de Gaulle.”

This is the final decision of Guan Xuqing's negotiations on the Greek issue. Whether it was the previous World War I, World War II, the Sino-American War, or this Sino-British Greek War, Guan Xuqing and the countries under his command are all in the same position. An extremely vivid interpretation of a reality to the whole world, the Chinese Empire is not a peaceful existence, and at certain necessary moments, they can also be transformed into a murderous weapon.

Following Guan Xuqing's decision, the Dragon Army units fighting in Greece stopped advancing southwards. At this time, the Dragon Army's front line had already pushed past Volos, and finally stopped at Lamia to Lamia to Kyrgyzstan. Mount Ona, Lake Trehonis.In a week, just less than a week, the advantages gained by the British army and the Greek army disappeared, and the entire front can be described as a thousand miles away. Li Zongren, who was eager to go to Greece to try his hand, felt that A little uninterested, there is no doubt that the offensive strategies he has spent a lot of work on are useless at all.

Although the dragon army has stopped its offensive, it does not mean that the war in Greece is completely over.According to the decision of the Supreme Command, the Dragon Army on the Greek battlefield provided a large number of weapons, even heavy weapons including tanks and artillery, to the Greek People's Liberation Army.After a temporary cease-fire agreement was reached between China and Britain, this re-armed second-line force came in handy. They jumped up from their alternate seats, wielding their sharp fangs, and fiercely charged at the old enemy of the North Korean army.So far, Britain can be said to have completely lost its dominance over the Greek issue.

On November 11, when the main force of the Greek People's Liberation Army launched an offensive campaign against Athens, the interim Greek leader Spanoris and his staff fled Athens on a British plane and went to Olympia in the Peloponnese Peninsula. And a temporary regime was established there.

On the same day, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and French President Charles de Gaulle arrived in Beijing by special plane. They will stay here for seven days to discuss with the Chinese emperor a number of issues concerning the peaceful settlement of the Greek dispute.

"The crisis of the Balkan war, which has lasted for a week, has a new turning point this morning. In order to achieve a comprehensive ceasefire in Greece and eliminate the war in the southern Balkans, French President Charles de Gaulle and British Prime Minister Churchill, at the invitation of Chinese leader Guan Xuqing, took a special plane Heading to Beijing. According to the French spokesperson, the heads of state of the three countries will not only start consultations on the Greek war issue, but also solve a series of post-war final handling issues in the Balkans. When asked whether this consultation can When the military friction between China and the Soviet Union is finally resolved and the military hostility between the two countries is eliminated, the French spokesman said that the United States is cautiously optimistic about it”

On November 11, Beijing Xijiao International Airport.

Guan Xuqing, dressed in a brand-new uniform of a special marshal, appeared on the runway of the No. [-] airport that had just undergone emergency renovation. He came to greet two "old friends" Churchill and Charles de Gaulle in person.

As Guan Xuqing said at the beginning, he wanted to give these two visiting old rivals and old friends the highest standard of reception. [-] protocol soldiers were deployed.In addition, nearly [-] Chinese children, holding flowers of various colors, lined up on both sides of the red carpet corridor from the airport runway to the parking square.Of course, the appearance of the Chinese emperor himself was the most representative of this high standard. As the supreme leader of the empire, he was able to greet the guests at the airport in person, which in itself was a display of the highest standard.

Today's weather is really good, the sky is blue and cloudless.The warm golden sun was falling with the gentle breeze, rendering the whole airport extraordinarily enthusiastic. Seeing this situation in the eyes of the reporters who rushed to the scene, it would inevitably create an intuitive impression that it was the heads of state of the three countries. Perhaps this time the gathering will really have a harmonious atmosphere, and the international environment full of gunpowder may really be able to subside.

At nearly ten o'clock, a four-engine propeller plane slowly landed on the airport runway.

When the plane finally stopped on the runway of the airport, Guan Xuqing smiled and led a group of officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the military who came to greet him, and walked quickly to the end of the red carpet, waiting for the two visitors to appear .

As the cabin door opened, an automatic elevator appeared in the cabin door, and then, the tall, talented and energetic Charles de Gaulle appeared on the lift of the elevator in a neat military uniform, followed by the two Behind him is Churchill with a serious face and no smile.

"Mr. President, oh, and the most respected Mr. Churchill, welcome to the Chinese Empire, to Beijing, the capital of the empire." The moment the elevator landed on the ground, Guan Xuqing Mai strode away Going forward, while reaching out to de Gaulle, he laughed loudly.

"Boom!"

Almost at the same time when Guan Xuqing stretched out his hand, the military bands on both sides of the runway played loud and clear music. The music was very beautiful. It was neither the national anthem of the United States, France nor the United Kingdom, but a Chinese folk song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" ".

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." De Gaulle shook hands with Guan Xuqing with a smile on his face, and said at the same time, "From the moment I got off the plane, I have already felt from the bottom of your heart your concern for this peaceful meeting. sincerity. I, and Mr. Prime Minister, hope that we will not return empty-handed."

Guan Xuqing shook hands with Churchill, who forced a smile, and continued: "Of course, I also sincerely hope that our meeting will be a complete success. Personally speaking, I am a man who has experienced wars many times. I know the cruelty of war, and at the same time, I know more about the beauty of peace, so I am absolutely full of expectations for peace, and God can prove it for me on this point.”
