According to Li Shaoyi's previous idea, we sent planes to the southwest region in order to scare the people of the Gallic Empire from interfering with our actions in Southeast Asia.
To put it bluntly, we still have to use threats and bribes to coerce the Gallic Empire so that they will not interfere in our affairs. Now it seems that it is good that they have misunderstood some things, otherwise we will have to find a way to make you misunderstand.
At this moment in the Southwest Regional Headquarters, the envoy of the Gallic Empire and Commander Li's assistant have been negotiating for several hours, but the results have not yet come out. Both sides are mainly playing Tai Chi, which has wasted a lot of time.
If the people from the 72nd Army were discussing this here, I'm afraid the results would have come out long ago. We are efficient in everything we do and will never waste time on these trivial matters.
"Mr. Sun, our sincerity is quite clear. We will not interfere with any of their actions in Southeast Asia. But you must tell them to remove these planes from the sky. This poses a great danger to both of us. If we are not careful, it could easily lead to an accidental shooting. Isn't the way we get along before good?"
Commander Li's assistant Sun Quanfeng felt his satisfaction reach its peak when he looked at Mr. Hardman, the special envoy of the Gallic Empire.
Because of the border between the two sides, there are many conflicts of various kinds. In the past, when we tried to negotiate with these people, they were all very arrogant. We had to ask them many times before they would come out to negotiate with us, and they would often bully us during the negotiation process.
Although the Guangxi warlords were not weak, they were domestic warlords after all. Compared with world powers like the Gallic Empire, there was still a big gap. If they really faced each other, they would not have much confidence.
Therefore, most of the negotiations ended with us suffering losses, and they were all our people. We went to other countries, but we have never seen anyone come to our side. The governor's special envoy in front of us has set a precedent. How can we not be happy?
"Mr. Hardman, you know we're old friends. We've never had any disputes with you, but these guys are different. Ever since the Northern Rakshasas retreated, who does the 72nd Army really hold in the eyes of our entire national power system? Not to mention us Southwestern warlords, even the Central Army is nothing to them. Look at those planes outside. They showed up on a whim. Who did they consult? They took the central government's telegram and forced a landing. We're currently suing them in Nanjing, and there's no conclusion yet."
Sun Quanfeng said with a wry smile, and at the same time took out some telegrams in his hand. If you want to forge these things, you can forge a lot of them at any time, especially if the Nanjing National Government cooperates.
Mr. Hardman read a few chapters briefly and he also knew about the internal strife among the warlords in Longguo. The Guangxi warlords had fought a battle with the Nanjing government before, but were defeated in the end, and the troops that went to the north also returned.
In the land of Longguo, those who have strength are the kings. Li Shaoyi has just defeated Luosha and Japan. Among all the warlords, he is indeed the leader. Sending planes to force a landing is indeed Li Shaoyi's style of doing things.
"Mr. Sun, I understand your difficulties, but no matter how arrogant they are, it can't change the reality of our peaceful relationship. This way of getting along has lasted for many years. You know, although there are some minor frictions, many things can still be solved through mutual discussion. But after they interfere, will this sky still belong to us?"
Mr. Hardman had already believed what Director Sun said. From these telegrams and official documents, he could see that the southwestern warlords were very resistant to the 72nd Army's air force. In addition, there were some official documents from some troops that showed that the security troops that came with the planes had clashed with the local garrison no less than ten times.
"Mr. Hardman is right, but words alone are useless. This time, these people went south. In addition to our southwest region, they also attacked several cities on the southeast coast. They also dispatched their air force in a tyrannical manner. They had no intention of negotiating with the local government. They even said, 'Either you cooperate or I will find someone to cooperate with you. Besides, look at the situation in Hong Kong. Not only us, but even the people of the Windsor Empire gave in."
In the past, Director Sun would never have dared to say this, but observing people's expressions is also a skill of his. Mr. Hardman in front of him has softened his tone, so don't blame me for taking advantage of you.
Isn't it quite accurate to point out the Hong Kong incident? Besides, we didn't make up the Hong Kong incident. No one knew about it before, but now that it's in the newspapers, everyone only needs to analyze it a little to know what happened in Hong Kong.
Your Gallic Empire is awesome, but no matter how awesome you are, can you be more awesome than the Windsor Empire? They were the former world leader, and now their navy is also the world's number one.
But what's the point? You can't just concentrate all your fleets in the Far East. If you do, you'll ignore the interests of the rest of the world. If that happens, there will be fires and explosions everywhere. How can you maintain your world hegemony?
The same is true for the Gallic Empire. After the First World War, their comprehensive national strength declined the most. Although they could draw blood from their colonies, their colonies were still far behind those of the Windsor Empire, so the recovery speed was relatively slow, and now they have fallen out of the world's first tier.
"Mr. Sun, how do you think we can get their plane to withdraw?"
Mr. Hardman frowned. Although he felt somewhat dissatisfied, things were different now. Isn't that how diplomatic negotiations work? You have to assess the situation. Everything you once had might not be available to you today.
Director Sun was so happy in his heart. He had been working in foreign affairs for many years, and today was the real day to do foreign affairs work. Before, he was just a slave seeking peace.
"Mr. Hardman, it's impossible for me to ask them to withdraw, at least not before their fleet returns. However, signing a diplomatic and friendly agreement to not interfere with you is still possible, but this agreement has a price..."
