    Originally, Tang Qiuli did not want to give even this bit of courtesy to the British. To put it nicely, they were a negotiating delegation. In fact, with the current situation of the British in India, suing for peace and surrender were almost the same, and Tang Qiuli  Li Li didn't even take this so-called negotiation seriously!

    The guard came in to report that the British had arrived at the headquarters. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe looked at the division commander's disdainful eyes and said with a smile: "Commander, I'd better go and greet you. After all, we are a country of etiquette.  ," Seeing that Tang Qiuli didn't comment, he smiled and turned around and went out.

    Before we reached the door, we saw from a distance that the British were busy arranging their clothes, looking serious and airy, and laughed secretly in their hearts, "Our teacher is calm and relaxed, but you are acting as if you are in a big position."  We haven¡¯t even started talking about the enemy¡¯s posture yet. In terms of momentum, we are already losing ground. Although I don¡¯t know the division commander¡¯s specific plans, based on the division commander¡¯s personality and consistent style, the British will definitely not get any advantage!¡±

    He glanced at the British people coldly, fixed on the four people in the front, and said in pure English: "I am Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff of the ** division of the Chinese army. On the order of our division commander, I am here to greet you.  Bit, I don¡¯t know what to call them?¡±

    Zhao Yuhe¡¯s English was excellent, eliminating the need for translation and allowing Governor Pajvasali, Foreign Secretary Charlie Brown, Chief of General Staff General Brandts, and Secretary-General of the Prime Minister¡¯s Office George Fei to  Ernansi and the four others were greatly surprised.

    This young major general is actually a general in a high position. He has no language barrier. He is well-mannered and generous. He has a heroic temperament all over his body, which makes people fall in love with him at first sight.

    The four people introduced themselves respectively. Foreign Secretary Charlie Brown is a veteran in diplomacy.  Knowing the importance of 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 a critical moment, don't expect to be able to speak for yourself, but words without any emotion can turn the situation around to a certain extent.

    Bringing the relationship closer between two people is Charlie Brown¡¯s specialty, come to think of it.  He took a step forward and said like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, "It turns out to be General Zhao! I've heard about his name for a long time, and when I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary. It's me who can meet General Zhao here."  The happiest thing today!¡±

    ? said.  He stretched out his hands from afar, and his posture seemed completely familiar.  The tried-and-tested techniques had no effect at all on Zhao Yuhe. Zhao Yuhe ignored him at all and turned a blind eye to the chubby hands stretched out in front of him and said: "Several of you  , please come inside, our teacher is waiting for you."

    ? Stretch out your right hand.  Making a gesture to invite in, and taking the opportunity to invite in, he naturally avoided too much interaction with the British man. Charlie Brown retracted his hand in embarrassment. This scene was seen in the eyes of the two guards at the door.  Looking at the twitching muscles on their faces, you can tell how painful it is to hold back laughter.

    Their guards and others also wanted to go in. The guards raised their guns. Although they did not speak, the expressions on their faces clearly told these British people that if they take one more step forward, they will not be polite. You will stand up.  Come in sideways and go out sideways.

    General Brandtes, the Chief of General Staff, looked at Zhao Yuhe with a disapproving expression, and was secretly annoyed, "Which country's rules prohibit people from bringing entourage to negotiations?" Zhao Yuhe said calmly to the guard, "  Hand over your weapons and let them in!"

    After handing over their portable guns 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? Why?  If there is no negotiation, just hand over the gun first!¡±

    Soon, they felt lucky to be able to hand over their weapons. From various corners of the yard, a fully armed officer with two weapons flashed out from time to time.  With his eyes, he glanced at these British people. They all had military backgrounds. These Chinese officers exuded the smell of iron-blooded soldiers that these British and Indian army officers who had never been on the battlefield said they could not match.

    They could fully understand that if that person had weapons on him, the next moment, bullets would hit him with blood holes all over his body. Governor Pajvasali's face turned a little pale. These middle-aged officials exuding murderous aura,  Putting too much pressure on him, he asked quietly: "Do you still have weapons on you?"

    After receiving the affirmative answer, Governor Pajvasali let out a sigh of relief. He did not want to have someone among his own guards and blood stain Aligarh fall under the gunfire of Chinese soldiers before the negotiation started.  .

    The negotiation room is very elegantly decorated in an authentic Chinese style. On a small charcoal stove, a kettle with a light scent of tea makes a slight sound in a rhythmic manner. There is only one wall.Hanging on the table was a huge map of the South Asian subcontinent, which was a bit out of place in such an environment. Seeing the British people 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 commander Tang Qiuli, who is also the chief negotiator of today's negotiations!" He introduced the identities of several people.

    The four main members of the British delegation, Foreign Secretary Charlie Brown, Chief of General Staff General Brandts, Secretary-General of the Prime Minister's Office George Fernandez, and Governor-General Pajevasali exchanged horrified looks with each other.

    This is how they successively killed Alexander's troops and Chelsea's troops, wiped out hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed in India, and fought from northern Burma to the interior of India. They forced the British Empire to the negotiating table and stirred up a storm in the South Asian subcontinent.  Tang Qiuli?

    Incredibly young and monster-like in age, he is probably not even thirty years old. If Zhao Yuhe hadn't introduced him, they would never have believed that this was the famous man who made the British Empire stationed in India, from generals to soldiers,  Tang Qiuli was frightened after hearing the news!

    But his eyes as calm as the sea, his extraordinary temperament, the demeanor of a superior, and the four shining gold stars on his epaulettes all proved his identity. The British were immersed in horror. In the negotiation room, a crowd of people  Time to be still.

    It was Tang Qiuli who broke the silence, chuckled, and said: "There is an old saying in China that it is better to have friends come from afar! However, 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 the unnecessary false etiquette and nonsense and go straight to the topic! "

    After speaking, he sat down at one end of a long table and took a sip of tea with great enjoyment. His words were spoken in Chinese. Zhao Yuhe translated them intact. Of course, Tang Qiuli's English was absolutely perfect.  Guagua is not what Zhao Yuhe said, but it is standard. However, in such an occasion, he is unwilling to say or want to say it. He uses his own mother tongue to negotiate with the British, which has a sense of indifference!

    After listening to Zhao Yuhe's translation, the faces of the four cunning British people changed. They didn't know what it felt like. It was the first time they tasted Tang Qiuli's sharpness and directness. How to describe it, a sharp knife  Like a javelin!  Domineering, direct, unquestionable, and showing strong self-confidence.

    And just such a remark made the British, who had already prepared diplomatic rhetoric and full of rhetoric, at a loss as to what to do. The prepared routines were not used at all, and they easily controlled the rhythm of the negotiation.

    Foreign Secretary Charlie Brown was the main negotiator on the British side. After all, he was a seasoned veteran in diplomatic situations. He immediately adjusted his emotions, sat calmly opposite Tang Qiuli, and secretly gave the three  The senior official, who had a look of displeasure on his face, winked, and the three of them sat down with a look of displeasure on their faces.

    Charlie Brown was not worried about Admiral Brandes or Governor Pajvasali, but worried about George Fernandez, Secretary-General of the Prime Minister's Office. This guy had a hot temper. In addition, he was deeply loved by Churchill.  The Prime Minister is accustomed to being trusted by the boss in the country, and has developed a domineering character. If he disagrees with him, he will get angry.

    But where is this place?  This is the territory of the Chinese Tang Qiuli. If you show off your power here, you are not asking for trouble. What are we doing here? Negotiations are here. The only goal is to achieve the goal. Everything else can be tolerated.  Or, what Tang Qiuli said was correct. Just a few hours ago, soldiers of the Chinese Army were fighting in the interior of India. What is the relationship if they are not enemies?

    Seeing George Fernandez's livid face and finally not saying anything to cause trouble, Charlie Brown secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said in an elegant voice: "Dear General Tang, you have also seen the terms of negotiation in our British Empire.  , and we have not received the terms proposed by you. Can I think that you fully agree with our terms?¡±

    Tang Qiuli smiled indifferently and said nothing, but this impenetrable smile made Charlie Brown, who was good at observing words and emotions, fool him. Silence did not mean that this arrogant Chinese had nothing to say.  , there are too many unclear meanings, whether he completely agrees or slightly disagrees, you can¡¯t tell from his face!

    The opponent who didn't take the move would not be able to find out the flaws in his language, and would not be able to make the next plan. Originally, he wanted to use Tang Qiuli's trump card, but when he didn't say anything, he showed it first.  The trump card will be very passive.

    There was no way, Charlie Brown continued: "Since General Tang has not raised any different opinions, I think that both of us can sign the relevant documents. This time, our British Empire has shown absolute sincerity. I hope General Tang can understand  Our difficulties!¡±

    It seems that the British have been prepared for a long time. Immediately, an entourage saw him off.After receiving 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 negotiations. He looked at the expectant British man and said calmly: "Mr. Charlie Brown, I think you made a mistake?"
