Expedition to Europe
Chapter 987: Go ahead even if you have to
The British have always liked to call themselves "gentlemen".
In fact, the word "gentleman" has completely different meanings in the East and the West. In the East, "gentleman" means those who are rich and powerful or have held an official position in feudal society, and make a living by exploiting and oppressing the working people. In the West, the word "gentleman" refers to a man who is elegant, humble, and well-spoken.
As the British Governor-General in Egypt, Henry Electra must be a gentleman, and the words "Your Majesty" coming from a gentleman are really a bit inappropriate.
So Qin Zhiyuan was not polite, raised his eyes and directly hit back with one word: "Gentleman--"
This is really exposing the shortcomings in person, hitting someone in the face, and Henry Electra immediately blushed.
Abu Bakr is still a bit perceptive, and immediately jumped out to help Henry: "It's nice to meet you, Your Majesty, I wish you a pleasant night."
This means to say goodbye.
Qin Zhiyuan did not force it, nodded as a greeting, and turned to find Gu Weijun.
In fact, this kind of occasion can best reflect the status of the country. Gu Weijun is now surrounded by a group of people, and judging from their clothing, they are all wearing suits and long gowns and short jackets. This is a manifestation of the rapid rise of Lan Fang's influence.
Gu Weijun's performance is quite good. He can basically do everything well and talk happily with everyone. Huang Huilan played a big role in this.
Huang Huilan and Gu Weijun are really a strong combination. Huang Huilan comes from a wealthy family and is used to such occasions. She is very good at dancing with long sleeves.
Gu Weijun's popularity was also related to Qin Zhiyuan's presence. At present, no country in the world dared to look down on Lan Fang. Qin Zhiyuan rarely went abroad. The diplomats present all wanted to make friends with Qin Zhiyuan. After all, not everyone hated Qin Zhiyuan like Henry Electra. It was a pity that these diplomats couldn't find a temple with a pig's head. They couldn't get along with Qin Zhiyuan, so they had to go to Gu Weijun.
Seeing Qin Zhiyuan coming, Gu Weijun and the people around him said goodbye politely and walked quickly to Qin Zhiyuan.
Qin Zhiyuan briefly told Gu Weijun about the results of the communication with Yang Deshan. Just after saying a few words, Qin Zhiyuan heard someone in the middle of the banquet hall burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha-some people are really shameless. They are obviously not welcome, but they still come uninvited. This kind of impolite behavior should be despised."
As soon as this sentence was finished, there was another burst of laughter in the middle of the banquet hall.
Qin Zhiyuan turned his head and looked over. The person who was talking was a stranger in a white robe. Next to the stranger were Henry Electra and Abu Bakr and others.
Obviously, this was talking about Qin Zhiyuan.
"This guy is Fern Dickey, the Jordanian ambassador to Egypt. Don't look at him wearing a traditional Persian robe. In fact, this guy is British." Gu Weijun reacted quickly and immediately introduced Fern Dickey to Qin Zhiyuan.
Qin Zhiyuan still needed to think about it before he could remember where Jordan was.
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, which formed the political structure before Lan Fang entered the Middle East.
In November of the same year, Abdullah Ibn Hussein, the second son of King Hussein of Hejaz, led his army to Syria on the orders of his father to try to regain lost territory. He was stationed in Amman and became a powerful military force in the region.
Two years ago, Britain used the Jordan River as the boundary to divide Palestine into two parts. The western part was still called Palestine, and the eastern part established the Emirate of Transjordan. Abdullah I, the second son of King Hussein of Hejaz, became the chief of the Emirate of Transjordan. Britain recognized Abdullah as the ruler of Transjordan, and Abdullah recognized Britain's mandate.
Look, it's not even a king, and even the royal expenses have to be funded by the British. Such a country dares to provoke Lan Fang?
It's really ignorant of life and death.
Of course, it is also because of this that the British can use Jordanians as guns.
Gu Weijun will definitely not watch Qin Zhiyuan being humiliated. After explaining to Qin Zhiyuan, Gu Weijun straightened his tie and prepared to go over to get Qin Zhiyuan back.
There are people who act faster than Gu Weijun. Just when Gu Weijun was explaining to Qin Zhiyuan, Heyman had come out from behind Qin Zhiyuan, stroking the holster on his waist, staring at Vern Dickey with hatred.
Qin Zhiyuan also had a hot temper and would definitely not let Heyman and Gu Weijun take the lead on his behalf. Looking at the smug Vern Dickey, Qin Zhiyuan's voice was not loud, but everyone in the audience heard it clearly: "Very good, you have successfully angered me. I hope you still have a place to live in London, so that you don't have to sleep on the streets."
In fact, the entire banquet hall was as quiet as if no one was there, and everyone was waiting for Qin Zhiyuan's response.
Qin Zhiyuan did not live up to expectations.
"What do you mean?" Vern Dickey's face changed immediately.
To see how effective Lan Fang's threats are now, just look at the fate of Russia and Japan. The once powerful and arrogant Russia was dismembered alive by Lan Fang and a group of people, and the East Asian hegemon Japan was directly destroyed by Lan Fang in one breath, and even the emperor's family was killed cleanly, so the fate of angering Qin Zhiyuan is very serious.
Although Vern Dickey is British, facing Qin Zhiyuan's threats, Vern Dickey also felt chilled.
"Whatever you think it means, that's what I mean - before you spoke just now, you should have thought of this result." Qin Zhiyuan is not polite, what happened to the British? Wear a white robe and you become 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, the faces of Fern Dickey, Henry Electra and others were really ugly.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Fern didn't mean that. You misunderstood." Abu Bakr jumped out to the rescue again.

This is a bad face and a good face, they are all routines.
Qin Zhiyuan was obviously clueless and looked at Abu Bakr with a bad expression: "No matter what Mr. Fern means, I know what I understand. It seems that Lanfang gave some people If the lesson is not profound enough, then I will impress some people a little more deeply.”
"Hey, hey, His Majesty the King, we have just signed the Cairo Contract. Are you going to break your promise so soon?" Henry Electra held 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, and Lan Fang does not need to worry in front of the Jordanians. It is simply a matter of taking care of such a small role. Effortless.
"It's so shameless. I remember that a certain country tore 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 told Henry Ilic Tela was rude, and her words were simply a curse.
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 can't 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 the King, is this what you really mean?" Henry Electra also looked gloomy. Only now did Henry Electra 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, but I want to remind you that what you are saying now has gone beyond your status as a governor. If Lanfang and the British Empire really do it because of you, These words start a war, I guess you have to explain it to the British Parliament." Qin Zhiyuan did not want to talk to Henry Electra, and of course he had 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, not Saudi, but 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 pushed Najd to join the League of Nations. The Americans once again became a peacemaker. The Americans were negotiating with the Rashid family. As long as Rashid If the De family meets the demands of the Americans, the Americans will 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, Lanfang's 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's acceptance of Lan Fang's assistance means that Najd has boarded Lan Fang's chariot. Now if Qin Zhiyuan asks Najd to attack Jordan, Najd will Even if you don't want to mess with the British, you still have to bite the bullet.
