Chapter 649: Straight to the point olive branch
Vladimir Dvořák is a direct descendant of the Polish royal family. As a prince, he received strict aristocratic education since childhood. He is not only proficient in multiple languages, but also has profound political literacy. He is the contemporary representative of the Polish royal family, and his every move represents the will of the entire Polish royal family.
Ekaterina Ivanovna was born into the royal family of the Russian Empire. As the niece of the Tsar, she was strictly educated by the royal family since childhood. She was not only outstandingly beautiful, but also possessed extraordinary wisdom and courage.
Eric van der Velden is a legendary figure in the Dutch Empire's business community. He not only owns a huge business empire, but also has extraordinary business acumen and financial means. In Europe, he can almost be called the leading financial oligarch, and his influence spreads across the world.
Although François Dubois was only an ambassador of the French Empire to China, she actually possessed a pivotal position and influence. She was not only proficient in Chinese culture, but also had a profound understanding of international politics and diplomatic skills. Within the French Empire, she was regarded as an important diplomat, and her words and deeds represented the position and attitude of the French Empire.
As the Minister of Defense of the Spanish Empire, José Antonio López held the military power of the entire empire and his status was second only to the royal family.
It can be seen from the identities of the people participating in this meeting that their purpose is not simple at all.
As the last guest in the tea room, US Federal Reserve Chairman Greens, took his seat, Prince Windsor nodded with satisfaction, gently put down the teapot in his hand, and a warm smile appeared on his face. His movements were still so skillful, and he began a new round of tea-making ceremony.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get back to the topic." Prince Windsor's voice was gentle and powerful, as if it had a natural majesty that made everyone present concentrate involuntarily.
His fingers slid lightly over the teapot, as if he was playing a silent movement. That technique was exactly the "Guan Gong patrolling the city" in the art of tea. With a slight turn of his wrist, the tea in the teapot flowed out like a thread, circling each teacup, and then nodded three times like a phoenix, gently pouring the tea into the cup.
The aroma of tea filled the air, and the entire tea room was immersed in this tranquility and harmony. However, Prince Windsor's next words broke this harmony, bringing a hint of tension and seriousness.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we gather here today for a common goal - that is to invite China to become a member of our anti-aggression alliance." Prince Windsor's voice was sonorous and powerful, as if it had an irresistible force.
He went on to say, "We all know that the conflict between China and Fuso is irreconcilable. China has officially declared war on Fuso, which means that the relationship between them and the entire invasion alliance has inevitably become antagonistic. Against this background, we need China to join us even more to fight against those forces that intend to undermine world peace and stability."
Others echoed and expressed their agreement with Prince Windsor's views. Vladimir Dvorak, a prince of the Polish Empire, said that China's joining would greatly enhance the strength of the anti-aggression alliance and would be of great significance to maintaining international peace and stability. Ekaterina Ivanovna, a noblewoman of the Russian Empire, also said that the Tsarist family has always held a friendly attitude towards China and hopes to see China play a greater role on the international stage.
Eric van der Velden, a merchant tycoon of the Dutch Empire, analyzed the benefits of China joining the anti-aggression alliance from an economic perspective. He said that as one of the largest developing countries in the world, China has enormous economic and market potential, and cooperation with China will bring huge economic benefits to all countries.
Françoise Dubois, ambassador of the French Empire, expressed her expectation for China's joining from a diplomatic perspective. She said that China's influence and status in the international community are increasing, and its foreign policy is increasingly valued and respected by various countries. China's joining will bring more diplomatic resources and support to the anti-aggression allies.
Finally, the Spanish Empire's Minister of Defense, Jose Antonio Lopez, expressed his expectation for China's joining from a military perspective. He said that China's military strength should not be underestimated, and its advanced weapons and equipment and well-trained troops will greatly enhance the military strength of the anti-aggression allies and make greater contributions to maintaining world peace and stability.
The atmosphere in the tea room became tense after Prince Windsor finished speaking. Everyone's eyes were focused on Su Zhengyang, as if they were expecting him to give a clear answer. Su Zhengyang smiled and put down the teacup in his hand. His eyes were firm and deep, as if he had made a decision.
"Prince Windsor, your tea art is really amazing." Su Zhengyang first praised Prince Windsor's tea art, and then slowly said, "However, regarding joining the Anti-Aggression Alliance, I think we need to think more deeply about it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slight discussion broke out in the tea room. Prince Windsor seemed to have expected this, and he gently waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"President Su, I understand your concerns." Prince Windsor's voice was firm, "But you have to know that the current international situation is already very tense, and the world war is in full swing. Although neutral countries can temporarily avoid being directly involved in the war, after the war, they often cannot obtain enough benefits and may even be suppressed."
Su Zhengyang nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Prince Windsor's words. However, he did not respond directly, but continued to maintain a calm attitude.
At this time, Greens also joined the discussion. He cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "I agree with Prince Windsor's opinion. From the current situation, except for the two axis powers of Fuso and the Bird Empire, the other member states of the Anti-Aggression Alliance have demonstrated their strong strength. The contradiction between China and Fuso is irreconcilable. The goals of both sides are the same, which is to safeguard the interests of their own countries. If China can join the Anti-Aggression Alliance, then our victory will be just around the corner."
Greens' words resonated with everyone, and the atmosphere in the tea room became tense again. Su Zhengyang took a deep breath, knowing that this was a question that needed careful consideration. He understood that no matter which side he chose, it would have a profound impact on China's future.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Su Zhengyang did not give a clear answer directly, but continued to maintain a calm attitude. He raised his head slightly, and his eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the tea room, as if he was examining every possible ally and potential opponent.
Su Zhengyang knew that in this international political game, choosing either side meant paying a corresponding price, and what he had to do was to avoid being restrained by either side as much as possible while maximizing China's interests. Therefore, he chose to keep a distance from both sides, so as to maneuver in the middle.
He smiled gently, revealing a hint of cunning and confidence. He spoke slowly, his voice neither hurried nor slow: "Everyone, I understand your expectations and concerns. However, as a big country, China has its own position and interests. We will not blindly join any party, but will make the most wise decision based on the changes in the situation and the interests of the country."
