Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1167: Face and inner face

Views:

Gu Nianzhi didn't know how Speaker Long developed his self-control, but there was no one who could still smile kindly after hearing such perfunctory words.

But Speaker Long can't say it, doesn't mean she can't say it.

Bitch like India, they won’t understand if they are too polite...

Gu Nianzhi coughed lightly and said with a smile in English with a British accent: "... Your Excellency, Vice President, India is a big country, but it only has one honor guard... Tsk, tsk, you, a country that didn't learn etiquette from the British Empire, should have this." attitude."

A slight stab at India.

After all, it was a British colony back then.

If the dog doesn't learn well, it is of course the owner's fault.

After hearing this, the Vice President of India suddenly changed his expression and said angrily: "Of course we have more than one honor guard! Each state in India has its own honor guard! The world's third-largest national strength is not just a boast!"

"Really? Then all your honor guards went to Gujarat to receive the Japanese Prime Minister?" Gu Nianzhi spoke with a smile and tilted his head, looking eager for knowledge.

"Of course not!" The Vice President of India was confused by Gu Nianzhi's smile and blurted out "No".

After he finished speaking, he realized what he had said. He smiled awkwardly and said, "But this time you guys came in such a hurry that we didn't have time to prepare, hahaha..."

It was obvious that he was so eager to invite, and Speaker Long did not want him to lose face, so he agreed.

Unexpectedly, the other party beat him up.

Gu Nianzhi was furious.

Speaker Long smiled slightly and said, "Really? Since you have no time to prepare, let's go back first. We will come back when you are ready." With that, Speaker Long turned around and returned to the cabin.

This is the special plane of the Chinese Empire. Speaker Long can leave whenever he wants. The Indian side has no choice at all.

The Vice President of India suddenly started sweating profusely, knowing that he was out of luck.

Originally, I just wanted to give these people in the Chinese Empire a slap in the face and deliberately curry favor with the Japanese Prime Minister, but as a result, the Chinese Empire simply decided to cancel the visit...

I didn't realize that this old man looked easy to talk to, but he didn't want to be too tough when doing things!

Upon seeing this, the Vice President of India hurriedly apologized: "It's my fault, my fault. The honor guard will be here soon! Will be there soon!"

Gu Nianzhi secretly gave Speaker Long a thumbs up in her mind. She followed him back to the cabin and asked him quietly: "... Do you really want to go back?"

Chairman Long sat on the chair, closed his eyes and hummed, "When you go out, you can't embarrass your family."

It is said that Chinese people love face. In fact, if they don’t have face, there will be no face.

No one loses face outside and can still keep his inside.

If so, it must be a lie.

Gu Nianzhi admired Speaker Long even more, "Then what are we going to do? The vice president said he was going to prepare a guard of honor..."

"According to the highest standards, if there is no preparation within half an hour, you notify the crew members and return immediately."

What a joke. Speaker Long has never suffered a loss in the political arena for decades.

Visiting abroad has always been the highest courtesy.

This time India is colluding with Japan in an attempt to humiliate China in order to please the Japanese. This cannot be tolerated and condoned.

Gu Nianzhi stood aside for a while and whispered: "... our embassy in India didn't know about this in advance?"

She remembered that she had communicated with the Chinese Embassy in India countless times before finalizing the details of the visit.

But she wasn’t the one who communicated about the airport pick-up, so I don’t know how this situation could have happened.

Speaker Long opened his eyes and nodded slowly, "You are right. Call our ambassador to India."

Gu Nianzhi hurriedly went out to call for help.

She stood at the door of the plane and looked outside, but she didn't see the ambassador of the Chinese Empire's Embassy in India. There were only some Chinese people who seemed to be of low rank, who should be embassy staff.

Gu Nianzhi thought for a while, found several other assistants and secretaries, found the embassy's phone number, and called it immediately.

It turned out that there was an automatic message there.

"Hello, this is the Embassy of the Chinese Empire in India. Please leave your name and message after the beep. Thank you for your cooperation."

Gu Nianzhi: "..."

"Which of you knows the phone number of our ambassador to India? It's not the public number of the embassy like snake oil." Gu Nianzhi asked his colleagues while searching the information.

One of the special assistants who came with Speaker Long found the number and called it himself.

The call was answered quickly and asked: "Are you the special assistant to Speaker Long? I'm so sorry. When our ambassador rushed to the airport to pick up Speaker Long, a car accident occurred on the road, injuring several people. He has been sent to the hospital We have gone to the hospital and are not out of danger yet. The embassy is extremely short of manpower right now, and we have sent the replacement first and second secretaries to greet Speaker Long. Please wait a moment, they will be there soon!"

Speaker Long's special assistant looked at Gu Nianzhi in surprise and said, "... Our ambassador's convoy just encountered a car accident and was sent to the hospital. They are not out of danger yet. Now the first and second secretaries are here."

Gu Nianzhi was also speechless, "That's too despicable. Please explain the situation to Chairman Long."

Now that our country's ambassadors have all had car accidents, Speaker Long certainly can't just walk away because of issues with reception standards.

Gu Nianzhi and the special assistant entered Speaker Long's cabin together and explained the situation to him.

Speaker Long: "..."

"Is he okay?" Speaker Long was still very concerned about the safety of his ambassador and planned to swallow his breath.

At this time, majestic military music suddenly came from outside. It was the Chinese national anthem that they were familiar with!

Gu Nianzhi looked out the window and was surprised to find that in less than 20 minutes, the honor guard, welcoming crowd, red carpet, and flowers were all ready outside!

There were also several people in dark black suits with serious faces standing in front of the Vice President of India, not knowing what they were saying.

The Vice President of India was hunched over his fat body, wiping his forehead with a handkerchief.

Gu Nianzhi: "..."

Why does a man in a dark suit look so familiar

Gu Nianzhi narrowed his eyes and took a closer look. Yes, he was indeed an old acquaintance of theirs. —Assistant Yang.

How did he come to India

Gu Nianzhi didn't know where Special Assistant Yang went after leaving the parliament, or in other words, she didn't care about this matter.

He turned back to look at Speaker Long and Special Assistant, and murmured: "...I saw Special Assistant Yang, right down there."

Speaker Long also heard the military music of the honor guard. He raised his eyelids slightly and said with a smile: "Oh, after Special Assistant Yang left the parliament, he went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It seems that they sent him to India." As he said that, he stood Got up and walked towards the cabin door.

This time, the reception standards outside were much improved, which was completely consistent with Speaker Long's status as one of the heads of state.

The airport, which was bare just now, suddenly became filled with flowers and a red carpet.

The Indian military bands on both sides wore turbans and played the national anthems of the two countries very hard.

The Vice President of India, who had deliberately stumbled just now, was now as honest as a quail, standing respectfully waiting for Speaker Long to get off the plane.

This scene of being arrogant at the front and respectful at the back is really staggering.

Chairman Long smiled and waved to everyone, and then slowly walked down the aircraft's hanging ladder.

Gu Nianzhi followed several special assistants and no longer followed Speaker Long.

As soon as Speaker Long stood still on the red carpet, the vice president had already rushed forward, held his hand, and said with emotion: "I'm so sorry, I was so anxious just now that I forgot to adjust the honor guard of another state. Come here. Fortunately, the first secretary of your embassy, Mr. Yang, helped me with this suggestion. You must praise him. He has made great efforts for the friendly relations between the two countries."

Speaker Long smiled and nodded, "Since he is a staff member of the embassy, it is his job to maintain friendly relations between the two countries. Your Excellency, the Vice President, is very complimentary."

The Vice President of India smiled and nodded, turned around and asked Speaker Long to get in the car.

At this time, Special Assistant Yang came over, bowed to Speaker Long, and said very movedly: "President Long, I have made you feel wronged. Our embassy did not do its job well today. I made a mistake, and I accept the punishment. But we The ambassador does have extenuating circumstances, and I want to make the whole situation clear to you."

Speaker Long patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't say that, you have done a good enough job. I think it's a good thing that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent you here, otherwise if something happened this time, there wouldn't be anything here. It’s really inappropriate for someone to take charge.”

In fact, it's not that there is no person in charge, but that there is no one who understands Speaker Long's thoughts and can be in charge.

And Special Assistant Yang just filled this gap.

Gu Nianzhi also felt very lucky.

She admitted that if Assistant Yang hadn't intervened, today's matter might not have been resolved satisfactorily.

She is a very objective person. Although she has personal grudges with Special Assistant Yang, she can still put aside her prejudices in front of foreigners and work with Special Assistant Yang to safeguard the dignity and interests of the country.

This time, Special Assistant Yang did a good job. When Gu Nianzhi walked to him, he nodded very sincerely, "Thank you, Special Assistant Yang."

When Special Assistant Yang saw her, the smile on his face remained unchanged and he said, "This is my job. Miss Gu, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

Gu Nianzhi nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a young woman wearing a black suit and skirt walking over, standing behind Assistant Yang and smiling.

It's actually Rong Mingxing.

Gu Nianzhi wanted to laugh a little.

It seems that these two are going to become a couple.

Yang Te assisted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Mingxing Rong seemed to have also entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs...

Gu Nianzhi nodded to Mingxing Rong, "Miss Rong, nice to meet you."

Rong Mingxing was a little embarrassed when she first saw Gu Nianzhi.

She was not as experienced as Special Assistant Yang, and could not shamelessly pretend that nothing was wrong. She just said hello awkwardly, "Hello, Miss Gu."

After the military music of the honor guard was played, they got into the car sent by the embassy and followed the convoy of the Vice President of India to the Indian Federal Parliament.

The buildings in New Delhi, the capital of India, are actually rather dilapidated and are about fifty years behind the imperial capital of the Chinese Empire.

However, the architecture is very Indian, and it is quite interesting to visit an exotic place.

There are also some huge billboards and big screens along the way.

Without exception, what was played was the welcome ceremony for Japanese Prime Minister Bezo's visit to Indian Prime Minister Dimo's hometown of Gujarat.

It's definitely more lively over there.

The various acrobatic teams stretching for eight kilometers really opened Gu Nianzhi's eyes.

Rong Mingxing sat next to Gu Nianzhi. She didn't want to talk to Gu Nianzhi at first, but Assistant Yang looked at her several times. She finally plucked up the courage and said to Gu Nianzhi: "Miss Gu, during the few days you have been in India, I will accompany you exclusively and act as your guide.”
