843 Dignity/Game, Rush Hour(1/2)
China, Consulate in New York.
Late at night, two o'clock.
The room is brightly lit.
Only one person sat with his legs crossed, his elbows propped up on the sofa, and a cigarette quietly held between his fingertips.
"Huh." Zhuang Shikai, wearing a black suit, exhaled for a long time.
"Da da da." A series of tired footsteps came.
"Consul Han." Zhuang Shikai put out his cigarette and quickly stood up to greet him.
Consul Han, wearing formal diplomatic attire and a red tie, walked to the sofa and greeted: "Director Zhuang."
…
Since the shooting at the UN building, the Chinese delegation has shown a tough stance, and the entire Chinese delegation has moved to the hotel and moved inside the consulate...
At the Consulate in New York, there are not many rooms in the reception area, and they are not of high quality.
It should not be used to entertain the "Hong Kong Island delegation". After all, the Hong Kong Island delegation is led by the Commissioner of Police and has many people and high levels. It is participating in an international forum. It is more suitable to stay in a high-end hotel.
However, since China's strong resistance to the United States, the Hong Kong delegation has been in danger. Living in a hotel is no longer suitable, and they can only move to the consulate to seek asylum in the motherland.
According to diplomatic regulations, during normal operations, the consulate is not subject to US laws, has "diplomatic immunity", and has "militaries" and "armed personnel."
Under normal circumstances, consulates are on the one hand a diplomatic station between countries, and on the other hand they are an open espionage agency between countries.
Since all countries have a need for consulates, they tacitly abide by the rules, allow each other's diplomacy, and acquiesce in each other's intelligence work.
…
"The U.S. side has a lot of opinions." Ambassador Han sighed and said, "I have been under a lot of pressure."
"After all, in front of dozens of United Nations delegations, you drew your gun and pointed it at the host country, which is also the strongest hegemon in the world." Ambassador Han looked tired, with deep wrinkles on his forehead. He had been suffering just now.
This is the trace left behind after experiencing a fierce diplomatic game.
As for the situation in the United Nations building, it's a small matter to stand up and leave, but it's a big deal to draw a gun and point at something beautiful! After all, one is to save a little face, and the other is to slap hard. Do you think the overbearing Big Brother of the world can tolerate it? Fortunately, the Chinese are tough-minded
, not someone to be bullied either!
"But don't worry, I have already shouldered the blame from the US side." Ambassador Han said with a smile.
And what happened just now...
Zhuang Shikai said with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry, Ambassador Han, for causing trouble to you."
"For the dignity of the motherland, please forgive me for my behavior, I have to do that!"
"Haha." Ambassador Han patted his suit shoulder and arm with relief, and said with a smile: "Director Zhuang, why do you have to say sorry? We are compatriots who stand on the same position. As the police chief, you went abroad to attend the meeting to defend the country.
Dignity, this is your responsibility!"
"As the ambassador to New York, I wipe your butt for you, haha, this is my responsibility."
"Besides... you did a great job, you vented our anger for us! You told them that the people of country Z are not easy to bully!"
Anyone who wants to come to the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the National Police Agency will definitely remember the scene in the UN Building fresh in the future.
To a certain extent, it will also facilitate Ambassador Han's future work.
At least, we can be tougher on "domestic security"!
In the diplomacy of a major country, we must know how to make use of all resources and trump cards.
Not long after the Hong Kong delegation left the scene, the US diplomatic team and the Chinese diplomatic team arrived at the United Nations Building and had a fierce confrontation over the "shooting" incident, which finally led to the current result.
At that time, as soon as the Hong Kong Island delegation left the UN Building, they drove straight to the consulate. They also passed by the Chinese diplomatic team and stopped to say hello to the Korean Ambassador...
On the way, he was chased by the New York Police Department. After a while, he escaped in a speeding car and finally arrived at the consulate.
Afterwards, diplomats came forward to retrieve the delegation’s luggage.
Zhuang Shikai felt much relieved after hearing Ambassador Han's understanding words. He asked Ambassador Han to sit down with him and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Ambassador Han."
He is not ashamed of what he did, but he feels that it is a bit of a blessing for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to wipe his ass.
However, everyone is united and united, and everyone performs his or her duties.
Isn’t that what it should be?
Therefore, he expressed guilt that it was Ambassador Han personally. If Ambassador Han understood, he would have nothing to say.
Ambassador Han sat down and said: "Director Zhuang, please rest assured that we have not suffered any losses. Don't worry about diplomatic matters. You should trust the skills of our foreign teaching department."
"Your behavior is a personal attitude, and our national position, haha, is still very humble now." Suddenly, Ambassador Han showed a bitter look on his face and smiled euphemistically: "In addition, I also strive to get the Hong Kong delegation to handle the case.
right!"
"The United States ordered us to find the murderer of the shooting within five days, otherwise we will have to ask China to hand over the delegation for investigation."
"No problem." Zhuang Shikai knew it well, raised his palm, stretched out five fingers, and assured: "Five days! Five days is definitely enough!"
Judging from the conditions offered by the United States, the diplomatic group should have made a bet with the Hong Kong Island delegation and set a gambling clause with the United States.
Either solve the case or hand someone over.
If you can't find the murderer, just take the blame!
By then, if the United States has not found the murderer, or has found the murderer itself, it would arrest you and have the Director of the Hong Kong Island Bureau interrogate and train you. This would not only restore your face, but also have political effects. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
If we don't set up this gambling clause, I'm afraid the motherland will have to cede its interests.
Otherwise, the United States would have suppressed the situation, given up on the spot, felt embarrassed, and warned other countries to keep the information confidential and prevent the spread of news.
Otherwise, the United States has already used the pressure of public opinion to force China to make concessions. Some things just need to be either not done or done ruthlessly! Mr. Zhuang wins with enough ruthlessness!
"I'm sorry, Director Zhuang, this is already the greatest benefit that diplomacy can achieve." Ambassador Han sighed: "We still have to be patient and make concessions. Even if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' mailbox is full of calcium tablets, we still have to pretend to be weak.
.”
"Citizens say that we can only verbally condemn him and not take actual actions. In fact, we are more like accusing him of being unqualified for swearing. Unfortunately, the country's strength does not allow it. No matter how much calcium tablets we take, it will be useless."
Ambassador Han said slightly helplessly.
Who doesn’t want to say harsh words and do great things?
The people do not know that diplomacy is difficult. In order to be responsible for national strategy, Ambassador Han has a gentle appearance and has the ambition to strengthen the country and enrich the people, but he has to humble himself for his ideals and devote himself to the people.
The foreign affairs department can pretend to be weak and seek benefits, but Zhuang Shikai takes himself as a bet for the interests of the motherland? No complaints!
"I understand you. I hope that in the future, not only will I be able to scold you, but you will also be able to scold me in front of the whole world!" At this moment, Zhuang Shikai sighed thoughtfully.
Immediately, he got to the point again and said, "Does the intelligence department have any news about the shooting at the United Nations?"
"Not yet." Ambassador Han sighed: "The intelligence agencies mostly target countries against countries. If it is an ordinary criminal case...or an overseas political struggle...it is difficult for us to get information."
"You also know that our intelligence department is relatively powerful in Asia and weaker in Europe and America. This is due to distance, influence, and national strength..."
We still have to work hard...
"Understood." Zhuang Shikai nodded, tapped the table with his hand and said, "That may be related to foreign political chaos or public security issues."
Zhuang Shikai settled on one point first!
"I heard that the theme of tomorrow's security forum..." Ambassador Han said after considering the point.
"Tomorrow's theme is the Nakajima Criminal Group!" Zhuang Shikai frowned.
"The Nakajima Criminal Group is an international black market group responsible for trading and transporting cultural relics, arms, and controlled items. It is active in more than a dozen countries in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Interpol has been following him for many years."
"But so far there are no clues about Nakajima. No one has seen Nakajima."
Generally speaking, if you can become a "big boss" that no one has ever seen before, you are a very complex criminal organization.
What if the word "international" is added?
A huge criminal group will unfold.
"If it's really him...haha." Zhuang Shikai smiled and said, "That would be easy!"
He has very clear memories of all "Nakajima" and can catch the murderer just by relying on the clues in his memory.
Originally, he didn't know that the international police were targeting the "Nakajima Group". When he saw the "topic" on the meeting agenda, he wanted to arrest "Nakajima" to enhance our country's prestige!
However, before he could take action, Nakajima planned the shooting.
This will enhance our country’s prestige even more!
Let delegations from dozens of countries see that the Chinese are not only bloody, but also powerful!
"If I remember correctly... Nakajima does seem to be related to American politicians." Zhuang Shikai smiled and thought to himself: "When I catch him, I will slap him in the face hard!"
"Director Zhuang, do you have any clues?" Ambassador Han's eyes lit up and he said earnestly.
Zhuang Shikai just replied: "You made the right bet on this matter."
"I will give you a satisfactory answer in two days."
"Okay!" Ambassador Han nodded heavily: "I'm looking forward to it."
Zhuang Shikai raised his hand to look at his watch, then raised his head and looked at Ambassador Han. They both laughed in unison, got up and went back to their rooms to rest.
