Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Such a diplomat: "Tsktsk" Li Dawei decided to carry out the vulgarity to the end. "Look at how much you yell like this. You lack the gentlemanly demeanor that British people should have. It is detrimental to you diplomats of the British Empire."  Image. Learn from the officials of the Qing government in our country in the past. They are not as graceless as you. You Britain wants money for money and land for land. Look at you again. In order to exchange for the wounded of your British Empire,  It's your fault that you're blackmailing you just because you want a few broken boats." Li Dawei looked at Hu Jiesen, whose face turned green with anger, and sighed longly and said, "Hey,  Those injured prisoners of war were really pitiful. They were tricked into the stinking place of North Korea, beaten to pieces, with arms and legs missing. They were in a foreign land, far away from their relatives. I couldn't bear to see them.  Let them return to their relatives as soon as possible." As he spoke, Li Dawei pointed to the twenty thick books on the table and said: "This is the list and medical records of wounded prisoners of war in the British Army." There are more than 1,997 wounded in total.  ." Hu Jiesen was a little discouraged, but he still wanted to win back some points for Britain and said: "It's too expensive to replace a ship with 50 people and add 600 construction machinery. See if you can" "Don't  He said, "I am really sad for your British Empire, and I am really sad for the wounded who are suffering so much every day." Li Dawei said with a sad face: "If these wounded people knew that their government said this, how sad they would be.  These people really shouldn't have come to North Korea. You can't let these injured soldiers bleed and shed tears. I think it's bullshit that you always talk about human rights. Human life and dignity are priceless, what kind of machine can make  "But what you want this time is military supplies that can be directly used in war." Hu Jiesen was greatly surprised by China's request for 30 lst1 amphibious tank landing ships. He said: "This  I can't make the decision." After hearing this, Li Dawei packed his bag and said, "Aren't prisoners of war military materials directly used in the war? Li Dawei stood up, held his bag under his arm and said, "You can't make the decision, so why don't we talk about it?  What, then let the person who can make the decision come." Hu Jiesen said quickly: "I will ask for instructions immediately. Prime Minister Ed Lee will give you an answer as soon as possible." In the Cabinet Room at Building 10 Downing Street, Renton, England, British Prime Minister Ed Lee  A cabinet meeting is being held to discuss Hu Jiesen's Beijing telegram. First, everyone complained about the United States for dragging Britain into Korea, a war that had nothing to do with Britain. They complained that the United States was too selfish at the critical moment and only cared about themselves. They complained about such a big thing as prisoner of war exchange.  He didn't even say hello. He complained that China's asking price was too high The more Ed Li listened, the more annoyed he became. "Let's stop talking about these complaints and let's study the issue of prisoners of war. Should we exchange them or not?"  Then he turned to the Minister of Defense and said: "Will giving China 30 tank landing ships pose a threat to us?" "I don't think it poses any threat to us." The Minister of Defense replied: "These tank landing ships are mainly used for landing.  If China wants to take back Hong Kong, they don¡¯t have to bother with any landing operations. They can attack Hong Kong anytime and anywhere on land." Ed Lee turned to the Navy Minister who was sitting aside and said: Could you please introduce the LST1 amphibious tank landing ship?  ." "lst1 amphibious tank landing ship. The total length is 328 feet, the maximum ship width is 50 feet, the minimum draft is 3 feet 9.5 inches, the standard displacement is 2197 tons, and the full load displacement is 3960 tons.  "The Minister of the Navy began to introduce the LST1 amphibious tank landing ship to the cabinet members in detail." The main function of the ship is to transport landing troops, tanks, vehicles, artillery and other weapons and equipment to sail across the ocean, and to land directly on the enemy's beach.  When landing on the beach, the bow of the ship can be slightly raised, making it easier for tanks and vehicles to land ashore.  Produced in 1944, due to the increase in design size, the bow door of the ship was also widened accordingly, and the ramp was also widened to 12 to 14 feet, so that it can carry more types of vehicles.  The tank landing ship has two 40mm naval guns and can transport tanks and other vehicles with a total weight of 2,100 tons.  The tank cabin is equipped with good ventilation facilities to supply oxygen to the tank engine. Vehicles on the main deck can enter the lower tank deck through a lift and then land via a ramp.  When sailing across the ocean, a certain draft is necessary to ensure sufficient stability. However, when landing, the water depth on the shore is limited, and the draft must be as shallow as possible. In order to meet the contradictory requirements of deep-draft navigation and shallow-draft beaching,  , the ship is designed with a large ballast tank.  During deep-sea voyages, seawater is injected into the ballast tanks; when landing, the seawater in the ballast tanks is pumped out. Now many military experts believe that due to the emergence of atomic bombs, amphibious landing ships are no longer so important and have reached the end of their lives. They can even  It has become history. But not long ago, the successful landing operation of the United Nations in Incheon, South Korea once again proved the importance of tank landing ships. If we give this kind of offensive weapon to mainland China, although it will not be enough of a threat to us, it will definitely  It will greatly improve the country's long-range combat capabilities and pose a huge threat to Taiwan." "What does Taiwan have to do with us?" The Secretary of the Interior said disapprovingly: "What we are focusing on now is the life safety of our prisoners of war. Let them  Return to your relatives as soon as possible. Their relatives and friends should stop making trouble and stop calling for the dissolution of the cabinet and for us to step down." "We are like this"Whether it will affect British-American relations?" Foreign Secretary Bevin said with some worry. The official said: "It will definitely have an impact, but the impact is also that the Americans were wrong first. They were the first to make deals with the Chinese behind their backs."  "The muscles on the officer's face jumped nervously and he said: "Who knows what other deals the Americans have made with the Chinese? Be careful that we are fooled by them again." "They and the Chinese are definitely not just about prisoners of war.  "The transaction." The finance minister said: "Otherwise the Chinese will not lightly release the prisoners of war in their hands, which is a big bargaining chip." "We don't care about the deals the Americans have made with the Chinese. We will study those things later. We  Let¡¯s solve the problem of prisoners of war first and calm down the turmoil over prisoners of war. Do you have any opinion on whether to change or not to change?¡± Ed Lee was still a little hesitant and asked other cabinet members for their opinions again. ¡°Change! The Chinese is right,  Things can be built, but we cannot make our soldiers bleed and shed tears. Anyway, the lst1 amphibious tank landing ship after World War II is of little use there. It is not needed for the time being when fighting the Soviet Union. "The Minister of National Defense was the first to express his position. "  Otherwise, we cannot explain to the people. Why can¡¯t we do it when Americans can do it?¡± The Home Secretary also expressed his opinion. The Minister of Finance has been calculating the value of these properties. Seeing that everyone is waiting to hear his opinion,  So he said: "Let's exchange, I have no objection, but the three countries must also share it, and we can't pay for it as one family." The foreign minister said: "Everyone agrees to the exchange, I will let Hu Jiesen talk again. Should we discuss with them?  What about the other prisoners of war? What about the Hong Kong issue?" "We can talk about the prisoner of war issue, but let's put aside other issues first to avoid causing complications." Ed Lee said: "Be quick and don't delay. Otherwise, you will have long nights and dreams." Finally  The British cabinet decided to agree with China's opinion and exchange 30 LST1 amphibious tank landing ships produced after 1944, ten 10,000-ton freighters, plus the 600 excavators, bulldozers and 4-ton trucks in Hong Kong for the return of 1997  injured prisoners of war from four countries. We urgently transported 200 tons of flour, 50 tons of cooking oil, 100 tons of medical supplies and medicines, 10,000 blankets, and 10,000 cotton-padded clothes to Anton in Hong Kong. We must solve the problem of prisoners of war as soon as possible and spend money to eliminate disasters.  , it is easier than involving some sensitive political issues. Let Bevin discuss with Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and each company will share. In the end, Canada was divided into two 10,000-ton ships and four landing ships, and Australia was divided into two 10,000-ton ships.  New Zealand allocated two 10,000-ton ships and two landing ships, and the rest were sent by the United Kingdom. In 70 days, 20 landing ships and 5 cargo ships were delivered in Guangzhou, and 10 landing ships and 5 cargo ships were delivered in Tianjin.  cargo ship, pay on delivery. Hu Jiesen immediately went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China after receiving the telegram. Of course, the negotiation was extremely smooth. After the two parties signed the exchange documents, Li Dawei was particularly happy and enthusiastically invited Hu Jiesen to the Qianmen Roast Duck Restaurant.  We had a meal of xxx roast duck. During the dinner, Hu Jiesen quietly asked the other prisoners of war how to deal with it. Li Dawei made a reflection and said: "Let me help you think about this matter." Li Dawei took a bite of the pancake-wrapped duck.  Slices, chewing slowly, thinking that this roast duck roasted with traditional techniques tastes really good, and it is different from the later generations. Even the green onions are in the core, unlike in later generations, even the old onion skins are on top.  Go up. For this process, the brand must apply for a patent in the United States and Europe. Opening a roast duck restaurant abroad is a foreign exchange project. By the way, it can promote Chinese food culture Hu Jiesen looked at Li Dawei anxiously, etc.  Read his next words. After Li Dawei enjoyed a roll of crispy duck slices wrapped in pancakes, he took a sip of duck soup, then picked up a handkerchief and slowly wiped his hands, saying: "Last time I contacted a representative of the Volunteer Army.  At that time, they said that after the war was over, they would set up a few farms and farm the land well after returning to China. But there was no fertilizer for farming. There is a Chinese proverb that says: 'The flower of the crop depends entirely on dung.'" Hu Jiesen thought to himself:  "Why is there so much nonsense?" "When I went to the United States, they entrusted me with asking Americans to assist several fertilizer plants. I was so busy in the United States that I forgot to talk to the Americans for a while. Let me see it this way, you four countries are one country  Help them build a small fertilizer plant with an annual output of 150,000 tons of synthetic ammonia. I will do their work again and see if it works. There is no way, the prisoners of war are in their hands, and everything must be discussed with them.  Heyheydemocracy is sometimes not a good thing. Everything has to be done through consultation, which makes it difficult for those of us who do specific work. Don't you think so?" Hu Jiesen was so angry that Qiqiao was angry for a moment  I don¡¯t know what to say. I think you really dare to speak, and you are talking about four 150,000-ton ammonia fertilizer plants. It¡¯s a small fertilizer plant that you can¡¯t say. "Isn¡¯t this too" "What¡¯s the matter? Yes.  Don't you want to say that the price is too high?" Li Dawei put down the chopsticks in his hand and said impatiently: "I think you are a good person and the negotiation was very good this time, so I will give you a price.  It's a half-folded one. It seems they want an annual output of 300,000 tons. No, forget it, I really don't want to do things with you British people. You are indecisive, not cheerful at all, and procrastinating in doing things and talking. Let's talk to the Americans.  Americans are not like you, who want to negotiate the price of everything. By the way, there is also the Hong Kong issue. They have also raised it." Hu Jiesen felt his heart tightening, and suddenly feltHis blood pressure is rising, and he is most afraid of bringing up the Hong Kong issue. Okay, don¡¯t eat this meal, I¡¯d better leave quickly
