"Your country took the initiative to attack the island of Malta, an overseas territory of the Ming Empire. This is a standard act of war.

Your envoy just said that we have not declared war.

You are right, for our Ming Dynasty, this is called undeclared war.

How does your country need to give Ming a reasonable explanation?"

Zheng Sen sat on his chair and pointed at Rabin, the special envoy of the Israeli Prime Minister opposite, and shouted.

Rabin looked extremely embarrassed. As an envoy of a country, he not only had to travel thousands of miles to the Ming Dynasty to negotiate with Da Honglu of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, there are not even any stools in the huge lobby.

The humiliation of this, the humiliation of Israel.

When he was a boy, he followed his father to the Ming Dynasty for business. Rabin knew that he was treated like a prisoner, except for the shackles around his neck.

But there is no way, the situation is stronger than the person.

The Hebrew army was completely defeated on the battlefield, and not only Eliezer Marom's squadron was completely destroyed.

Moreover, Constantinople, which was determined to be conquered, was not captured.

The Hebrew army had more than 63,000 killed, wounded, and captured. This happened in just ten days!

Since the founding of Israel, it has never fought such a tragic war.

Rabin came to Ming Dynasty this time, but it was also a helpless move.

Although I was prepared to be humiliated, I never expected that Ming Dynasty would humiliate a country's special envoy so blatantly and without regard for diplomatic etiquette.

"Your Excellency Da Honglu, I have traveled thousands of miles to come here for peace, but Da Ming didn't even give me a seat. I'm afraid this is not in line with diplomatic etiquette.

I heard that Ming Dynasty is known as the land of etiquette.

Now it looks like, haha...!"

To be sent out as a special envoy of Rothschild Jr., Rabin is certainly not an ordinary person.

He did not respond to Zheng Sen's accusation, but cited diplomatic etiquette.

After all, we all live in this world, and sometimes we still need to give each other some face.

In diplomatic situations, this kind of face-giving behavior is called diplomatic etiquette.

Zheng Sen smiled "hey" and "hey", a country that has lost a battle and begs for help. It has lost all its reputation and still needs shitty face.

"We have a folk song in the Ming Dynasty, the lyrics of which were praised by His Excellency the Generalissimo of our country.

Two of them are most appropriate to use now!

That is, when friends come, there is good wine.

If the jackal comes, there is a shotgun!

The State of Israel is waging undeclared war against the overseas territories of the Ming Empire. How is this behavior different from that of a jackal?

Just because of your sneak attack, more than 7,800 Ming soldiers died on the spot.

You still have the nerve to talk to me about diplomatic etiquette?

Let me tell you, if I, the Grand Marshal of the Ming Dynasty, had not been thinking about peace and could not bear the soldiers of the two countries to die on the battlefield for petty gains, I, the Lion of the Ming Dynasty, would have laid waste to your capital city of Sevastopol.

Now, including me, everyone in the Ming Dynasty is thinking about destroying your country and slaughtering your people.

Only I, the Generalissimo, decided to let you go.

Rabin! Peace or war, the choice is not in your hands, but in Ming Dynasty."

Zheng Sen glanced at Rabin contemptuously. In diplomatic situations, he usually used the most polite language and said the most shameless words.

Zheng Sen felt very happy to be able to talk so freely today.

Rabin's face was livid. In the dignified diplomatic situation between the two countries, he was scolded as if he were a grandson.

He felt humiliated, humiliation engraved in his bones.

I originally wanted to say something, but the attack on Malta and the attack on Constantinople were the reckless actions of some generals.

The main officials of the State of Israel do not agree with them doing this.

But now, Rabin was completely speechless.

This kind of excuse is too lame. Saying it in public will make people doubt his IQ.

"I came to Ming Dynasty with a desire for peace, which coincides with the Generalissimo of your country.

But I still hope that I can receive the courtesy that a diplomat deserves in your country.

Instead of being guarded like prisoners like now. When we arrived at Honglu Temple, there wasn't even a seat.

Your Excellency Da Honglu, the Ming Dynasty is an empire after all. Such a huge empire should have the magnanimity it deserves.

Don’t you think so?”

"Mr. Rabin! For Ming Dynasty, this is just a temporary ceasefire for peace negotiations.

Attention! This is a ceasefire, not the end of the war. They are still at war!

Although, we have not declared war yet."

"Yes! We have not declared war, which shows that peace is still expected." Rabin seemed to have found the topic and immediately continued.

"The Ming Dynasty is ready to declare war at any time, so I might as well tell you.

My Excellency, the Grand Marshal of the Ming Dynasty, has issued a war mobilization order. The first batch of mobilization troops is two million people!"

Zheng Sen's expression was filled with pride.

"...!"

Rabin was speechless!

This is the difference in strength between big countries and small countries. They can easily mobilize two million people to fight on the front line.

But the total population of Israel is less than four million.

This is equivalent to sending half of Israel’s population to the battlefield!

But the problem is, half of the population is on the battlefield. So how to provide food, ammunition, and other military supplies in the rear?

There is no such problem in Ming Dynasty. The population of Ming Dynasty has exceeded 400 million. It is definitely the most populous country in the world!

Providing an army of two million men is not a big deal for them.

"Sir, please understand Israel's desire for peace. And please convey Israel's sentiments to His Excellency, the Ming Dynasty Marshal.

I came to Ming Dynasty just for the peace of the two countries and the happiness of thousands of families in the two countries. Please understand this feeling.

Our country is absolutely responsible for the cause of the war. For this reason, Israel is willing to compensate the Ming Empire.

That’s it for today, we are going to hold a peace dinner at our residence, and we also invite Mr. Da Honglu to come.”

Rabin had been to Ming Dynasty when he was very young, and he knew that Ming Dynasty was accustomed to talking about things over the wine table.

Do as the Romans do, eating and drinking at this time may be more important than negotiations in such a formal occasion.

"I'll see if I have time before we talk!" Zheng Sen glanced at Rabin disdainfully.

"Oh, I haven't conveyed the greetings from Mr. Ben-Gurion and Mr. Rothschild to you yet."

Rabin looked at Zheng Sen with a smile.

When he mentioned Rothschild Jr., his tone was slightly more intense.

Zheng Sen glanced at Rabin!

The Hebrews were known for their intelligence, and the people they sent out were truly extraordinary.

When Zheng Sen was in London, he often dealt with the Rothschild family.

Of course, there were also some shady deals with the Rothschild family.

After all, if you want to be a reliable official, you can't do it without money.

When it comes to making money, Zheng Sen has to admit that the Rothschild family is more professional.

"Okay! I will attend the banquet tonight." Zheng Sen nodded, giving Rabin, or rather giving face to the Rothschild family.

"Brother, we don't want to give the Hebrews a slap in the face, so why did you agree to attend their banquet?"

A subordinate behind him asked softly.

Zheng Sen glanced helplessly at his sixth brother Zheng Shimo. The Zheng family was really in despair now that such a fool had appeared.

If his father hadn't asked him to take him with him, Zheng Sen wouldn't have even looked at him.

It has to be said that in terms of family inheritance, the Zheng family is much worse than other Ming aristocratic families.

If you look at other historians, there are endless descendants of the family.

Every disciple can take root in the most difficult place, just like that Stanay.

He worked hard in Kuba in the Western Region for four years and built the railway from Hami to Ili.
