Because of the telephone, the embassies of the Min dynasty in European countries were close to the suburbs, and the embassies would be accompanied by a huge "botanical garden" for growing vegetables. It was said that the Chinese embassy staff had grown their own vegetables over the years, and the cost of buying vegetables saved was almost enough to buy this vegetable field.
The Min dynasty embassy in the United Kingdom did not have this style, because the Min dynasty had a large farm of more than 100 square kilometers in the rural area outside Victoria City. When the United States was still in North America, the Min dynasty bought such an industry. With such a thing, it seemed very meaningless to have a botanical garden.
This large farm was also used as a place for the Min dynasty ambassador to entertain friends. Mid-August was the end of summer. At this time, the large farm was rich in vegetables and fruits, and it was the most pleasant day of the countryside. Dressed in ordinary work clothes, the Min dynasty ambassador to the United Kingdom and the Hungarian foreign minister carried baskets of apples to the back of the truck. Even when working, the Min dynasty ambassador to the United Kingdom was not idle. He smiled and said, "You told the British foreign minister that China is a special term for the Four Barbarians. He will probably be angry."
"I just stressed the tone a little," the Hungarian foreign minister said a little breathlessly. He did not understand one thing. The Chinese never showed their love for agriculture, but when it was really their turn to do farm work, the Chinese never seemed to refuse. Some people said that the Chinese were born to be the best farmers, but the racist theory of this statement was not valid. But from a statistical point of view, it was very reasonable. Diplomats were basically considered to be cultured people, and this group of Chinese cultured people performed very well in planting.
The last basket of apples was carried to the truck. The Min dynasty ambassador to the United Kingdom and the Hungarian foreign minister got into the truck together, and the truck would take them back to the central hall. These apples were gifts for the guests. Sitting on a basket of apples, the ambassador asked, "I saw the news that Hungary has taken Constanta, which is basically taking the port of Romania. Are the descendants of the Huns going to annex the descendants of the Romans after beating them up? "
After listening to this wild imagination, the foreign minister could only smile bitterly. Romania was the descendant of the Romans, and Hungary was believed to be the descendant of the Huns and the Marza. At least the Marza surname was a standard East Asian cultural characteristic. Hungary had the intention of seizing the northern part of Romania, but had no ambition to annex the whole of Romania. Not to mention the resistance of the local Romanians, just the interference of the European countries would be unbearable for the Hungarians.
"We just want to deal with the Russians without any worries," the foreign minister replied.
"Then I'll tell you an interesting piece of news. The tsar has moved his regular army to Kane." The ambassador laughed.
"Oh?" The Minister was puzzled. He really didn't understand what was so interesting about this news.
"If I were the commander of the Hungarian Red Army … If our Liberation Army were to face such an enemy, we would probably go all out and try to encircle them."
Although the Hungarian Foreign Minister had been a soldier, military affairs were clearly not his forte. More importantly, the Foreign Minister had not received any training in a group battle. If it were Vézé or Qi Rui, as long as they heard a little, they could naturally come up with a rough strategy.
Seeing the Hungarian Foreign Minister's expression of a layman, the Min dynasty ambassador to the UK couldn't help but sigh, "In my opinion, if you can carry out a campaign in the Kane area next to Hungary and annihilate 300,000 to 500,000 Russia's regular army. I think Russia probably won't have the ability to continue the war. And such a big loss will cause fierce turbulence in Russia. At that time, the upper echelons of Russia will lose the ability to face the situation rationally. Hungary will enter a promising stage. "
"Hehe, the European powers will interfere!" The foreign minister was not confused by the wonderful future.
The Min dynasty ambassador to the UK laughed, "If the intervention of the powers can maintain the situation of Russia, won't that prove the power of Hungary? Even if you withdraw from Kane, will anyone dare to chase into Romania? "
In the foreign minister's mind, there was already a map of Hungary in the west, Romania in the east, and Russia in the northeast. If this could be achieved, it could indeed make a huge change in the current situation. But …
"Is this the opinion of the Min dynasty Military Commission?" The Hungarian Foreign Minister asked.
"No. This is the opinion of the North American theater command. "The Min dynasty ambassador to the UK calmly replied. Although this was actually very dangerous, an ambassador relaying the opinion of a theater command always felt overstepping.
"We will consider it." The Hungarian Foreign Minister replied.
"Didn't you come to the UK to let the UK not be hostile to Hungary when Hungary defeats Russia? And I heard that you went to France to lobby. I think all of this is based on the foundation that Hungary must win first. I participated in the North American War, and after the war, I went to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. So far as I can see, the Hungarians have only accumulated tactical surprise, but have not won a single battle. Nor has it shown the ability to defeat or drag down Russia. So the Great Powers think it is only a matter of time before Russia invades Hungary. Comrade Foreign Minister, I think you should look at the problem from the perspective of a big power … "
The harvest season at the end of summer was very gratifying. The variety of vegetables and fruits of the Min dynasty was excellent. Especially the potatoes, the texture was soft and extremely sweet. After steaming and peeling, they were dipped in seasonings such as salt and pepper or cheese cream. It was extremely delicious. The feeling of eating it directly was also very good. Fried red fries with blueberry jam on the outside was eaten hot. The sweet potato core was semi-solid like sugar, so sweet that people couldn't help but want to slap the table.
The British guests were satisfied with the meal, but the Hungarian Foreign Minister was a bit absent-minded. The Min dynasty ambassador's words couldn't be more straightforward. The fact was the same. The matter of Hungary invading Romania was a big deal for Hungary, but in the eyes of the Great Powers, it was probably like a child's fight. There were at least seven or eight European countries that were considered to have won Romania by force, and Hungary was only one of them.
Now there were only three European countries that could defeat Russia in Ukraine. If they could encircle and annihilate hundreds of thousands of Russian troops in the battle, Hungary would officially become an existence on par with Britain, Germany, and France. At that time, Hungary would certainly be greatly weakened, but the Foreign Minister was very clear that the accumulation of ability was all based on experience. If it was just based on thinking, any small European country could have the dream of dominating the world.
"Sir, you look like you have something on your mind?" A girl's London accent made the Hungarian Foreign Minister recover from his deep thoughts. He quickly turned his head and saw a girl he didn't know standing next to him. The Foreign Minister asked politely, "Excuse me, you are …"
"I came to North America on the same ship as you. I admire you very much for being able to become a member of the ruling class by yourself. "The girl spoke with an expression of admiration.
"Hehe." The Foreign Minister smiled bitterly. He couldn't help but sigh, "It is not easy to become a real ruling class. We will all be limited by our own vision and knowledge and misjudge the situation. "
This was actually the Foreign Minister's own sigh. Even if he could understand the general principle, he still felt that he didn't have the vision of a big country. The same principle operated on a different basis, and the difference in performance often made people doubt whether the principle was different.
However, in the eyes of the girl, the Foreign Minister's reaction was undoubtedly a reaction of the virtue of modesty and prudence. So the admiration in the girl's eyes was even more intense. She asked, "Sir, how do you think I can improve?"
"How to improve?" The Foreign Minister slightly gritted his teeth, then replied, "First, you have to be taught. Second, you have to be able to lose. With these two, you can improve. "
The staff who went with the Foreign Minister squeezed to the Foreign Minister's side at this time. "Mr. Foreign Minister, the British Deputy Foreign Minister is asking for you."
"I have something to do, excuse me." The Foreign Minister said to the girl, got up and went to the core circle of the banquet.
"You may have met him, or you may not have. This is the Foreign Minister of Hungary. "Seeing the person coming, the British Deputy Foreign Minister introduced him to everyone with a smile.
Everyone introduced each other. The French Ambassador to the United Kingdom, the German Ambassador to the United Kingdom, and the Italian Ambassador to the United Kingdom. These were all European powers. After everyone introduced themselves, the British Deputy Foreign Minister smiled and said, "His Excellency the Foreign Minister of Hungary believes that Hungary can defeat Russia. This is what he said himself."
Without waiting for others to speak, the Foreign Minister said bluntly, "Yes. This is what I said myself. I firmly believe that Hungary can defeat Russia with its own strength. "
Several ambassadors laughed. If it was the day before, the Foreign Minister would probably think that these powers were ignorant. However, now the Foreign Minister felt that these people's performance was really quite correct. Russia was not an opponent that could be easily defeated. All the countries that looked down on Russia in history paid a heavy price.
"What if Russia is defeated?" The Italian Foreign Minister laughed. It could be seen that the thinking of small countries was more flexible.
"We hope that Hungary can obtain the position of a permanent neutral country like Switzerland." The Hungarian Foreign Minister replied.
"But even permanent neutrality does not mean permanent peace." The German Ambassador to the United Kingdom asked. This was a common sense, not a scary question.
"Generally speaking, everyone will recognize that the war is not provoked by a permanent neutral country. This understanding will have some moral advantages." The Foreign Minister replied seriously.
"Moral advantages …" The group of diplomats showed different smiles.
