The British have always liked to think of themselves as gentlemen. 23us.
Fastest update
In fact, the word gentleman has completely different meanings in the East and the West. In the East, the meaning of gentleman is those who are wealthy and powerful or have held an official position in feudal society, and make a living by exploiting and oppressing working people. In the West, the meaning of gentleman is
The word gentleman refers to a man who behaves elegantly, treats others modestly, and speaks appropriately.
Henry Electra, as the British Governor in Egypt, must also be a gentleman, and it is really inappropriate for His Majesty to say these words from a gentleman.
So Qin Zhiyuan was not polite. He raised his eyes and replied with one word: Gentleman.
This was really a blow to someone's face, and Henry Electra immediately blushed.
Abu Bakr was quite discerning and immediately jumped out to help Henry: Nice to see you, Your Majesty, I wish you a pleasant night.
This means saying goodbye.
Qin Zhiyuan didn't force anything, he nodded as a greeting, turned around and went to find Gu Weijun.
In fact, this kind of occasion can best reveal the status of a country. Gu Weijun is now surrounded by a group of people. Judging from the clothing, they are all wearing suits and leather shoes, robes and short coats. This is a manifestation of Lanfang's rapid rise in influence.
Gu Weijun's performance was pretty good. He was basically able to cover everything and chatted happily with everyone. Huang Huilan played a big role in this.
The combination of Huang Huilan and Gu Weijun is really a strong alliance. Huang Huilan comes from a wealthy family. She is used to such occasions. She is good at dancing like a fish in water.
Gu Weijun's popularity is also related to the presence of Qin Zhiyuan. No country in the world dares to look down on Lan Fang. Qin Zhiyuan rarely leaves the country. The diplomats present all want to have a good relationship with Qin Zhiyuan.
After all, not everyone hates Qin Zhiyuan as much as Henry Electra. It's a pity that these diplomats couldn't find the temple with their pig heads and couldn't establish friendship with Qin Zhiyuan, so they had to go to Gu Weijun.
Seeing Qin Zhiyuan coming, Gu Weijun and the people around him politely said goodbye and quickly came to Qin Zhiyuan's side.
Qin Zhiyuan briefly talked to Gu Weijun about the results of the communication with Yang Deshan. Just after saying a few words, Qin Zhiyuan heard someone laughing loudly in the middle of the banquet hall.
Hahahaha, some people are really shameless. They show up uninvited even though they are clearly not welcome. This kind of disrespectful behavior should be despised.
As soon as he finished saying this, there was another burst of laughter in the middle of the banquet hall.
Qin Zhiyuan turned around and looked over. The person speaking was a stranger wearing a white robe. Next to the stranger were Henry Electra, Abu Bakr and others.
Obviously, this is talking about Qin Zhiyuan.
This guy is Fern Dicky, the Jordanian ambassador to Egypt. Even though he is wearing a traditional Persian robe, this guy is actually British. Gu Weijun reacted quickly and immediately introduced Fern Dicky to Qin Zhiyuan.
Qin Zhiyuan still needs to think about it before he can remember where Jordan is.
About three years ago, after the end of the world war, the Ottoman Empire disintegrated, and Britain designated Palestine as a British mandate. In July of the same year, the French army occupied Damascus. This created the political structure before Lanfang entered the Middle East.
In November of the same year, Abdullah ibn Hussein, the second son of King Hussein of Hijaz, led his army to Syria on his father's orders in an attempt to regain lost territory, and was stationed in Amman, thus becoming a powerful military force in the region.
The year before last, the British divided Palestine into two parts with the Jordan River as the boundary. The west was still called Palestine, and the east established the Emirate of Transjordan. Abdullah I, the second son of King Hussein of Hijaz, became the chief of the Emirate of Transjordan.
The British recognized Abdullah as the ruler of Transjordan, and Abdullah recognized the British mandate.
Look, he is not even a king. Even the expenses of the royal family are funded by the British. How dare such a country dare to provoke Lan Fang?
I really don’t know whether to live or die.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that the British can use the Jordanians as their guns.
Gu Weijun would definitely not watch Qin Zhiyuan being humiliated. After explaining to Qin Zhiyuan, Gu Weijun straightened his tie and prepared to go over and help Qin Zhiyuan regain his position.
There was someone who moved faster than Gu Weijun. Just when Gu Weijun was explaining to Qin Zhiyuan, Heyman had already come out from behind Qin Zhiyuan, stroking the holster on his waist, staring at Vern Dicky with hatred in his eyes.
Qin Zhiyuan also has a hot temper, and he will definitely not let Heiman and Gu Weijun take the lead on his behalf. Looking at the proud Vern Dicky, Qin Zhiyuan's voice was not loud, but the whole audience heard clearly: Very good, you succeeded
The ground pisses me off. I hope you still have a place to live in London so you don't end up sleeping on the streets.
In fact, the entire banquet hall was as quiet as no one else at this moment. Everyone was waiting for Qin Zhiyuan's response.
Qin Zhiyuan is indeed not above expectations.
What do you mean? Fern Dickey immediately changed his face.
How effective Lan Fang's threat is now, just look at the fate of Russia and Japan. Russia, which was once so powerful, was dismembered alive by Lan Fang and a group of people. Japan, the hegemon in East Asia, was completely destroyed by Lan Fang in one breath.
Even the Emperor's family died cleanly, so the consequences of angering Qin Zhiyuan would be very serious.
Although Fern Dicky was British, he also felt shuddering in the face of Qin Zhiyuan's threat.
What do you think it means? That’s what I mean. Before you spoke just now, you should have thought of this result. Qin Zhiyuan, you’re welcome. What’s wrong with the British? Put on a white robe and you’ll be a local snake.
It is said that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. That is because the dragon is not strong enough, or it is a fake dragon. If it is a real dragon, the local snake and the like are really not good enough.
Qin Zhiyuan is obviously a real dragon, so as soon as Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, Vern Dickey, Henry Electra and others looked really ugly.
Your Majesty, Mr. Fern did not mean that. You misunderstood. Abu Bakr once again jumped out to the rescue.
This is a bad face and a good face, they are all routines.
Qin Zhiyuan was obviously a loser, and looked at Abu Bakr with a bad expression: No matter what Mr. Fern meant, I know what I understood. It seems that Lan Fang has taught some people a lesson
If it's not impressive enough, then I'll impress some people a little more.
Hey hey hey, Your Majesty the King, we have just signed the Cairo contract, are you going to break your promise so soon? Henry Electra is holding a gun and a stick beside him.
It is obvious that Qin Zhiyuan has issued a war threat to Jordan. This threat is not just rhetoric. Jordan does not have the size of the United States. Lan Fang does not need to worry in front of the Jordanians. Such a small role is simply dealt with easily.
Effortless.
You are so shameless. I remember that a certain country has torn up the Cairo contract at noon today. Now you still have the nerve to say such things. Your shamelessness really opened my eyes. Qin Zhiyuan was not polite to Henry Electra,
The words were simply a rant.
Don't think that this is a banquet. Everyone must be polite and harmonious. In fact, any drama may be staged at this kind of banquet. When the Japanese Emperor urinates in public, the French President can whistle next to him, so there is nothing he cannot do.
Jordan is the protectorate of our British Empire. If Lanfang goes to war with Jordan, it will be equivalent to Lanfang going to war with the British Empire. Your Majesty, is this what you really mean? Henry Electra also has a gloomy look on his face. Until now, Henry Ili
Only then did Ketra realize that provoking Qin Zhiyuan was indeed a very unwise thing.
Lanfang is a peace-loving country. To be honest, I have no interest in declaring war with the British Empire. However, I want to remind you that what you are saying now goes beyond your status as a governor. If Lanfang and the British Empire are really because of you,
If you start a war with these words, I guess you will have to explain it to the British Parliament. Qin Zhiyuan does not want to talk to Henry Electra, and of course he has no intention of starting a war with Britain.
Thinking about the group of people around Gu Weijun just now, Lan Fang is not without help in the Middle East. The British government can let Yang Deshan take the blame for tearing up the Cairo contract, Qin Zhiyuan can also find a scapegoat, and Saudi Arabia is the best choice.
No, it's not Saudi Arabia, it's Najd.
Just last month, the Faris family had unified Saudi Arabia. Subsequently, Ashraf Rashid announced the establishment of Najd in Riyadh, and Najd has become the largest country on the Arabian Peninsula.
Like the farce in other countries in the world, the British did not recognize Najd and did not even allow Najd to join the League of Nations. Lanfang and France recognized Najd immediately, established diplomatic relations with Najd, and strongly promoted Najd.
After joining the League of Nations, the Americans have once again become a peacemaker. The Americans are negotiating with the Rashid family. As long as the Rashid family meets the American demands, the Americans will also recognize Najd.
Look, the relationship between countries is a simple exchange of interests, and it really has nothing to do with justice or anything like that.
It can be said that although Najd is not Lanfang's colony now, it is similar to Lanfang's colony. After Najd was established, Lanfang immediately announced that it would provide economic and military assistance to Najd. The economic aspect was interest-free loans.
It is used to purchase various supplies from Lanfang, including weapons and equipment for the military. Lanfang is preparing to arm Najd and help Najd establish a national defense force with modern weapons.
Speaking of weapons and equipment, the Lanfang army has been updated several times, and there are many retired weapons and equipment in the country, which can be used to arm the Najd people.
Of course, these aids are not unconditional. Qin Zhiyuan is not a saint. Najd accepts Lanfang's assistance, which means that Najd gets on Lanfang's chariot. Now if Qin Zhiyuan asks Najd to attack Jordan, Najd will
Even if you don't want to provoke the British, you still have to bite the bullet.
