Chapter 1062: Happy, Embarrassed (First two chapters, two more in the evening))
Putting aside the fact that Gao Zhendong and his gang were happily eating and drinking here, our statement had caused a stir internationally.
Although the Cold War was fierce in Europe, the situation was mainly concentrated in the stage of talking nonsense. Even the level of 007 in the movie was exaggerated.
Not to mention Africa. It's hard to say how many people there are who can be truly considered "people" in the West's eyes. Moreover, they are mainly fighting primitive wars with weapons from World War II. It's only slightly better than the scenes in some cartoons where they have the best materials but can only stab each other with spears.
But it's different when we announce this news. Asia is not the hottest hotspot, but it is a semi-hotspot, and there are battles on land, sea and air. Don't worry about whether the Jiaozhi people on Sponge Island surrendered without firing a shot, just talk about whether there was a land battle.
After all, the one-sided land battle on the beach was still a land battle.
The results are eye-catching enough.
There are 6 warships, they are all called ships, so the head of them can’t be small.
Two jet planes. Europe has been talking nonsense for years but has never achieved this result.
As for the one thousand people, it is actually a small matter. After all, compared with the thousands or tens of thousands of people on Zang San's side, this number is nothing.
The happiest country is one that no one would have thought of.
——Gallic rooster!
"Finally, someone teaches these monkeys in Indochina a lesson!" In the Gallic man's office, his staff were obviously very happy.
To talk about this grudge, we have to start from the 50s. After all, it was the Russians and the American people who instigated the expulsion of them from the Indochina Peninsula, but the executors were the Jiaozhi people.
But he seemed to have forgotten one thing: we are also involved in this matter.
It has to be said that the Gauls still knew how to grasp the main contradiction. It was the Jiaozhi people who took action, so what does it have to do with the Orientals who came up with the idea?
"The military strength of the Orientals has not declined since the middle of this century, but has become stronger and stronger." The man nodded.
"My sir, this is a good thing for us. The stronger their military power is, the more beneficial it will be for our cooperation and exchanges," the staff analyzed.
No matter how strong they are, the Gauls cannot reach Asia now, and no matter how fierce the fighting there is, it will not cause any substantial harm to the Gauls.
On the contrary, the stronger and more independent their partners are, the better it is for Gaul.
As for whether such an independent and powerful partner would be too tough on them, the Gauls are not worried. For them now, the main contradiction is the contradiction between their desire to obtain sufficient independent development space and maintain their presence in Africa, and the growing appetite and ambition of the Citigroup people.
As an old revolutionary base, the Gauls know how to grasp the main contradictions.
It's worth mentioning that compared to John Bull, the shame of the Five Virtues, the Gauls have more or less saved some face for themselves. In the 21st century, they fought against Colonel Card without any hesitation. Compared with the John Bull who made the Weeping Country look humiliated in the 20s, it was still much more decent.
The only reason John Bull is better than Rooster Gallicus is because of geographical reasons. Fewer people died in S1, and John Bull did not surrender directly in S2 across the sea.
"Well, their conflict was caused by an island dispute?" the man asked.
He is very clear about the general direction, but some details need to be provided by his staff.
"Yes, but strictly speaking it's not a dispute. Those places have long been within the legal, claiming, patrolling and control scope of the Orientals. It's just that the two Orientals haven't had time to free themselves from their fight in the past decade. And now with the development of the Orientals after the founding of their country, they can free up their hands to make this matter... um... more thorough." His staff thought of a word that they thought was more appropriate.
"Let's give the Orientals a gift as a greeting gift for the recent negotiations to establish diplomatic relations. Orientals believe in reciprocity, and I think they will appreciate it." The man stroked his beard and said to his aide.
"Gift? But this matter will never be discussed in the League of Nations, because the biggest party is not even in the League of Nations." The aide shrugged.
"I know. This is also where the Orientals are smart. I can even conclude that before certain things are done, they are not very interested in replacing certain forces and returning to the League of Nations. The gift I'm talking about is in the foreign affairs statement."
"Foreign affairs statement? We haven't even recognized each other yet, and we don't have formal foreign affairs relations." The staff felt that the gentleman's thought process was a bit too far-fetched. Aren't formal foreign affairs relations being discussed?
Compared to John Bull, who was the first to recognize us but only established diplomatic relations in 72, Gao Zhendong and his people were much more flexible than John Bull in his previous life.
"Acknowledge them first and express support for their position in this conflict." Compared to the Jiaozhi people who had just fought their way out not long ago, the Orientals were obviously much more friendly.
Although in Western norms, the interests of nations come first, but at this stage, it is better to befriend the Orientals, which is in their interests, so there is nothing wrong with it. "Is it a bit hasty?" The staff felt that their side was a bit too aggressive, and many details of mutual recognition were still under negotiation, so it was difficult to word it.
"You don't understand. Orientals know how to accept goodwill. You should inform them that our recognition, aside from other things that are still being negotiated in the formal establishment of diplomatic relations, has only one content, which is recognition of the other party. Do you still want me to help you write these diplomatic communiqués?"
"Ah, no, no, I can do it myself." The staff member thought of the last colleague who was kicked out from here. If he hadn't been kicked out, he wouldn't be able to sit here.
"That's good, let's do it." Looking at the backs of his staff, the Gallic man felt that this diplomatic move initiated by economic and trade relations was really brilliant.
Unlike the happy Gauls, the more embarrassed ones are the Citizens and the Russians.
For the Citigroup guys, they are embarrassed that they have huge power in South Jiaozhi but cannot exert enough influence in this incident. As the big brother of the camp, they feel like they have been slapped in the face by pia~pia~.
It would be fine if it was out of reach, but this place is obviously not far from Crystal Blue Bay, and even closer to Xenon Port. You are not powerless in South Jiaozhi, and you are fighting so fiercely in secret.
As a result, my little brother was beaten up by the Orientals. Did you become invisible?
To use one of their favorite sayings in the movie, with great power comes great responsibility. For other countries that are close to South Jiaozhi, being able to show support is the best they can do.
But you can't do that. You can't just provide empty talk without providing any other support.
The most embarrassing thing is that the Gauls in your camp are not on the same page with you. This is really weird.
Unlike the Americans, the Russians had to consider the attitude of Northern Jiaozhi, so they did not even express their attitude at the first time.
And from their perspective, there has always been a subtle feeling about our development and growth of our own strength.
The fact that you want to control everything but there are people in your camp who don't listen is very uncomfortable for the Russians. In fact, this is just overthinking. It's true that everyone has the same idea, but it doesn't mean that they have to listen to you in everything.
However, North Jiaozhi quickly dispelled their doubts and issued a statement soon, criticizing the South Jiaozhi puppet government's unreasonable invasion and brazen use of force against the territory of Dongda, and declared its support for Dongda's demands for the southern waters and all of Dongda's actions in the southern waters, and pointed out that all reactionary forces will surely perish.
Regarding this matter, Gao Zhendong's view is that "Wang Mang was humble and had not yet usurped the throne." It can be said that most of the things in reality can be found in our history.
But no matter what the starting point is, from the perspective of "judging by actions rather than by heart", their current attitude is correct, and that is enough.
The Russians only expressed a clear attitude after the Northern Jiaozhi incident. This indecisive attitude makes us laugh.
In the capital, the leaders watched the reactions from all sides.
"Comrades from the north are petty-minded, hesitant, indecisive, and unable to distinguish between small gains and greater justice. I think it will be difficult in the future if they don't change." The chief looked at the materials reported by the foreign affairs department and smiled as he read them.
"Maybe they should consider the opinions of Comrade Bei Jiaozhi?" said a comrade from the Foreign Affairs Department nearby.
"No matter how utilitarian you are, it's not the right time to consider the opinions of Comrade Bei Jiaozhi. You can't start cooking in summer. Moreover, some things cannot be influenced or exchanged by interests. In this regard, you can't learn from them." The leader smiled and gave a lesson to the comrades in the foreign affairs department.
At first glance, politicians, statesmen, and thinkers seem to do similar things, but there are actually huge differences.
"I see. This is the latest notification the Gauls sent us. Please take a look."
The chief took it and looked at it: "Well, they still know how to find opportunities. Tell them that we have no objection to this and thank them for their correct attitude on this matter."
Even from a purely profit perspective, our gratitude is actually quite valuable, but many countries do not realize this.
After the comrades from the foreign affairs department left, the comrades from the army said, "Commander, there is a voice saying that our army was too harsh and it is not good for our image. There are even some opinions about the evaluation of the comrades' military achievements."
The chief stopped laughing: "You are just talking nonsense. As a comrade in the army, you must resolutely follow orders and use the weapons in your hands to strike the enemy to the greatest extent possible. What does being ruthless have to do with being a comrade in the army? If you don't strike hard enough, you are not a comrade in the army! Don't let these things affect you. How can you be called a comrade in the army if you are not angry?"
"Well, we won't be affected."
"This battle was fought beautifully, so it is beautiful. There is no need to consider anything else. As for the fight being too fierce, it is our problem, not yours, and certainly not the soldiers' problem." said the leader.
"Okay, we feel relieved with your words."
