    After visiting the French ambassador, the Hungarian Foreign Minister went to meet with the Republic of China¡¯s ambassador to France.  He did not go empty-handed. When he saw the ambassador of the Republic of China, he presented him with two goose down quilts.  Hungary is located in the plain of the middle reaches of the Danube River, with flat terrain and Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe.  There are many swans here, and raising geese is more traditional.  After the socialist revolution, goose raising became an industry.  In terms of luxury goods, Hungarian goose down already has a market and reputation in Europe.  The Chinese Ambassador to France expressed his gratitude and then invited the Hungarian Foreign Minister to have tea in the living room.  In the aroma of tea, the Hungarian Foreign Minister asked: "Your Excellency, do you think the French people can exert pressure on the Parliament and the government for peace?" The Chinese Ambassador was a little surprised by this question. He thought for a while before replying: "I think now  The French ruling class has not lost its power. There is only one reason why the ruling class is forced to compromise with the people. They are no longer able to control the situation. "So what do the French people think of peace?" the Hungarian Foreign Minister said without stopping.  Keep asking.  The Chinese Embassy in France said with a smile: "The peace that the French people think of is probably to defeat Germany, take back Alsace and Lorraine, and make Germany pay extremely high war reparations. It will completely wash away the shame of defeat in the Franco-Prussian War." "The French ruling class thinks  What about peace?¡± the Hungarian Foreign Minister continued to ask.  "Does the ruling class have peace in its eyes? Haha!" The Chinese ambassador to France was amused.  However, after seeing the calm expression of the Hungarian Foreign Minister, the ambassador regained his composure after laughing a few times. He replied: "Peace in the eyes of the ruling class probably means that things go as they wish. Peace or war all revolve around this.  ¡± Speaking of which, the Hungarian Foreign Minister felt that the purpose of this trip had been fully achieved.  He asked the last question he had prepared, "Do you think there is a chance for peace after we defeat Russia?" The Chinese Ambassador to France's eyes lit up, and this question really touched him.  After thinking for a while, the Chinese ambassador to France replied sternly: "Destroying Russia will probably not make the European powers think that you are an equal power. At most, it will make them recognize that you are a powerful country in Eastern Europe. This is not good for Germany and France now."  It doesn't matter. Britain and Russia can't really accept the existence of such a country. They can't fight it now, and they will probably hold their noses and admit it for the time being. However, everything will change. From the perspective of us Chinese, a few decades is just a short period of time in history.  A short moment. In history, there are countless examples of small countries rising in a short period of time. But no matter how hard you try, you will always give Britain and Russia an opportunity to take advantage of them.  . At that time, the advantages of a big country can be fully exerted.¡± At this point, the historical heartstrings of the Chinese Ambassador to France were suddenly touched, and the ambassador felt a little uncomfortable for a while.  He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, trying to calm down his emotions before continuing: "Comrade Foreign Minister, Hungary's military rise did not rely on its own strength. If you use this strength to the limit From the perspective of our Chinese philosophy,  "Exerting your strength to the limit may not be a good thing." If it were someone else, the content in this sentence might stimulate negative emotions.  The Hungarian Foreign Minister was also a little excited, but this man's expression was very sunny.  "Thank you for your reminder, but my opinion is different from yours. For us in Hungary, what we need is to prove that we have the ability to stand on the top of the mountain. According to historical research, Hungary's most glorious era was probably the Whip of God Ati  Ra almost destroyed Rome and suppressed all directions. But that is just a testimonial. For Hungarians, it is more like a legend. We Hungarians are very inferior now. The history that everyone is really exposed to is that they were defeated, enslaved, and manipulated.  I personally think Hungary has a reason to win.¡± The Chinese ambassador to France was shocked and even speechless.  After adjusting for a while, the ambassador looked very focused. He asked: "Is this too forced? If Hungary can endure it for a while and lay the foundation. I think it will be better." "Comrade Ambassador,  I heard that there is a saying in China called 'Pingdu Zhenlu Dabobo', is there such a saying?" the Hungarian Foreign Minister asked.  ¡­The ambassador was unable to answer for the moment.  There is indeed this saying in China. It is said that it was said by His Majesty Wei Ze when he was mocking.  This sentence leaves a deep impression on everyone. Whenever CEIBS is mentioned, it will often be used as an explanation.  "Pingdu will bring big waves. Haha!" The Hungarian Foreign Minister's Chinese was so-so. He couldn't help laughing after repeating it, but his expression returned to calmness after a moment. "The Polish ancestors were really rich, and they did achieve the level of independence."  Zhenlu's achievements. Today's Germany and Russia have been suppressed by Poland, so even if Poland has been destroyed for hundreds of years, there are still many people working hard to restore Poland's existence. For us in Hungary, we need opportunities to build national self-confidence.  Now is my only chance to see it."  "But you know the taste. Can you guarantee that you can brake after victory? Too many people don't know how to stop when things are good, so they die without a burial place." When the Chinese Ambassador to France said this, he realized that,  The discussion has risen to philosophical levels.  "Emperor Comrade Wei Ze is still alive, and he is a bright light. The iron-blood policy turned into a peace policy. He did it, why can't we do it? History not only refreshes the lower limit again and again, but also refreshes the upper limit again and again. There is this  With your daughter in front, let¡¯s go to the head office,¡± the Hungarian Foreign Minister answered confidently.  Having said that, there is no need to talk further.  Although the Democratic Republic of Korea's ambassador to France is still not very optimistic, he also admitted that theoretically, the line proposed by the Hungarian Foreign Minister is reasonable.  Regardless of whether Hungary takes advantage of the revolution of armored forces, armored forces will develop tremendously in the civilian dynasty, just like motorized infantry, and thus shock the world.  If we stick to the old ways and try to face the world with a one-size-fits-all approach, Hungary will never stand a chance.  Faced with such an enterprising representative of the Hungarian leadership, the Ambassador of the Republic of China to France also felt that he had to help. He no longer spoke in general terms, but gave some suggestions on specific issues, "France must be in  The war will be tilted towards Russia, because if Russia loses the war, France's investment will probably be lost. As for the British, they will probably watch the excitement at first. However, as long as there is a possibility that Hungary will become the dominant force in Eastern Europe, the British will take action.  They hope that the war will be bigger and better, and the more people will die, the better. It is best for you and the Russians to die together. Without absolute strength, the game of war is very difficult. This is a problem that small countries cannot avoid because of war.  In the middle of the fight, the two sides will see who can survive better. It is not about defeating the opponent, but dying later than the opponent. " "Understood." The Hungarian Foreign Minister nodded repeatedly. He thought this was the wisdom of a big country.  Difficulties will never disappear automatically as soon as you close your eyes, nor will it turn into darkness when you close your eyes.  ¡°I don¡¯t think the Democratic Republic of Korea will intervene in this war, but we still need the help of the Democratic Republic of China. And one of the goals of this war is to capture Romania¡¯s area north of the Danube River and ensure that Hungary is no longer a landlocked country.  " After hearing this strategic consideration, the Republic of Korea Ambassador to France nodded repeatedly, "If you really have such strategic thinking, I believe that the Ottoman Empire will be very happy if you occupy it, which means that Russia will no longer be able to attack freely from Europe.  The Ottoman Empire. The United Kingdom will probably agree with this situation to a certain extent. "So we hope to promote Hungary's pacifist stance. At least the situation in Hungary will become peaceful.  We have just had enough of Russia¡¯s invasion and threats to dominate Eastern Europe. Don¡¯t you think the French people will be interested in this?¡± the Hungarian Foreign Minister continued to ask.  "The French people may have heard that Hungary is in the East. As for what kind of East and where exactly it is. I don't think they have such knowledge. As I said before, the state is a tool of class rule, and the French people are not the ruling class. You ask the rulers  The pursuit of peace outside of classes is completely in the wrong direction. Your Excellency, it took me a long time to understand this. The people of our socialist countries really have status. I am not referring to citizens or voters.  It's the people. But in European countries, the ruling class has never been what we think of as the people." The Chinese ambassador to France brought the topic back to the original question.  After the meeting ended and it was noon, everyone had a light meal at the Embassy of the Republic of China.  Although it was just a casual meal, the Chinese food was also highly praised by the Hungarian Foreign Minister.  This is not a mere compliment. The Republic of China's embassies in Europe have opened their eyes to Europeans since they had their own vegetable plots.  It turns out that there are so many delicious things in the world.  Such a clever cooking method.  There is a reason why gas stove cooking equipment became popular in Europe.  After coming out, the Hungarian Foreign Minister sent a message to the country, preparing to contact the British.  If it were before, it would be very convenient to go to the UK after arriving in France.  It's just separated by a narrow English Channel.  But if you want to go to the UK now, you have to cross the North Atlantic over more than 2,000 kilometers to reach the current capital of the UK.  Even with the fastest cruise ship, it would take two days on the road.  The round trip takes a week or two.  The Hungarian Standing Committee quickly called back and agreed that the Foreign Minister should go to the UK.  Anyway, the current situation has not yet reached the period of diplomatic mediation, and the great powers are waiting and watching at this time.  Besides, going to England is also a diplomatic effort.  So the Foreign Minister arrived in London first, and there was a wireless telegram exchange. When he arrived in London, he learned that his application had been approved.  After entering London, the Foreign Minister found that the city felt a bit familiar, and the layout of the entire city became more and more like China.  The alleys began to disappear, and communities lined both sides of the wide road.  The Foreign Minister has visited many cities in China,The appearance of these cities is indeed different, because the layout of each city is different, some are close to mountains and some are close to the sea, some are in plains, and some are in hills.  However, the design ideas of Chinese cities are exactly the same.  When I first saw it, I was shocked by the aura of large industry. However, after seeing it more, I felt that the biggest difference between all cities was just the green plants in the city.  Now London also gives the foreign minister the same feeling. The city has transformed from China's urban-rural fringe style into a true metropolis.  Of course, we are still in the transformation stage.  After seeing this, the Foreign Minister couldn't help but have some expectations for Britain in North America.  Since the British capital was moved, the number of ships traveling between England and North America has increased a lot.  The Hungarian Foreign Minister naturally boarded the best ship, and the latest British ship was the Titanic.  This regular cruise ship, jointly produced by the Republic of China and the United Kingdom, can travel on the sea at a speed of up to 25 knots.  China is responsible for the hull and power system, while the design and decoration are completed by the United Kingdom, so the Titanic is very famous.  Not because the ship represents a collaboration between the two countries, but because all aspects of the ship were undertaken by builders of the highest caliber in the world.  Sure enough, the 100,000-ton cruise ship was very smooth after it started.  The passengers are well-dressed, the men are well-dressed, and the women are graceful.  At least he is in the middle class of society.  Where there are no poor people, everyone prefers to communicate.  The Hungarian Foreign Minister is very beautiful, but there are many scars on his face.  Before the foreign minister had the urge to talk to others, several girls had already approached him to chat with this gentleman in his thirties, who looked calm and reserved.  Knowing that the Foreign Minister is a senior official of socialist Hungary, the girls not only did not feel panic, but actually aroused their curiosity.  A big leader of the Hungarian Communist Party must be observed carefully.  Moreover, the Foreign Minister himself seems to be harmless to humans and animals.  After chatting for a while, the girl¡¯s family came over.  After talking for a while, the tycoon invited the foreign minister to attend the salon party in the evening.  Anyway, it will take two days on the ship, so it is actually good to have such an opportunity.  Salon gatherings must be preceded by some food and drink. After one glass of wine, someone couldn't help but ask in a slightly provocative tone: "Why did Hungary start a war?" The Hungarian Foreign Minister had never had to face a group of rich British guys.  Talking about Hungarian pacifism, but at this time someone gave him a step, and the foreign minister was naturally happy.  However, he couldn't help but have a sarcastic smile on his face, "Sir, I can tell you some facts. Romania has declared war on us for ten years. We have hoped to end this state of war with Romania several times, but Romania firmly disagrees.  As for Russia, in the three wars including this one, Russia first announced that it would destroy us. So you said that we provoked the war, which is obviously not true.¡± After saying this, the Hungarian Foreign Minister looked at the table.  The British guy stared at him in surprise, as if he had heard some legendary story.  The Foreign Minister suddenly thought and asked bluntly: "Do you think it was us, Hungary, who took the initiative to attack Russia?" Upon hearing this question, several more upright gentlemen nodded and said that they thought so.  So the Hungarian Foreign Minister simply listed the time to prove that Hungary, as the party being attacked, was really not the culprit in provoking the war.  "Then what's going on with your tank troops? Haven't you been preparing for this war for a long time?" The person who asked the first question continued to ask.  It can be seen that this person is really dissatisfied with Hungary.  "The British Empire has a fleet that cannot be resisted by the whole of Europe. Should we say that the empire is a provocateur of war?" the foreign minister replied with a smile.  As soon as this answer came out, several married or unmarried girls at the banquet either lit up or smiled.  This answer is very appropriate for a British person.  ¡°I want to tell everyone that we in Hungary want peace. We really want to be a quiet Hungary on our land. Work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Eat, drink, sing, dance. Earn money and be with your family.  Travel abroad together. However, there are countries, or Russia, who want to go south to the Balkans, so they regard Hungary as a stumbling block. They have bloodbathed the Hungarian revolutionaries in 1849, so we are here to defend them.  We are fighting for our own peace. Everyone, I think you are smart enough to understand this fact." Comrade Foreign Minister tried to explain himself.  "Of course, I fully trust your rationality. So I believe you will not talk about this." No one actually cared about the first few sentences, but the last sentence aroused some interest.  A woman couldn't help but ask: "Why do you say that?" "I have met many smart people. Smart people don't need to discuss facts with smart people, because everyone can understand them in a few words. Smart people don't need to discuss facts with stupid people.  , because howThey don't understand the discussion.  " As soon as the Foreign Minister finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter at the banquet. Some people felt very strongly about this. After the banquet ended, everyone in the salon began to spray. This time the protagonist was not the Hungarian Foreign Minister who was accidentally pulled in.  It was a few university professors who spoke about human self-understanding. Although their speeches were funny, they were not in line with the foreign minister¡¯s sunny mentality.  There were dozens of people, and the foreign minister thought he was just here to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, the British guy asked him to speak, which surprised the foreign minister. He sat down on the chair on the small podium and said after thinking for a while.  I am a poor person.  Both my parents were sharecroppers, and I went to a missionary school when I was a child.  It wasn't really even a school, just a republican-minded priest teaching the children five days a week.  A priest with republican ideas. I have read a French novel called "Ninety-Three Years". It was 1793. The last time there was a record of a republican priest was more than a hundred years ago.  " The people below burst into laughter. Indeed, there is an inexplicable sense of humor in the existence of republican-minded priests. Whether they are laughing or not, everyone is listening attentively. Being able to listen to a minister telling his life history has already  It's a rare experience. What's more, this is the beginning of self-recognition. For these wealthy people, it is an extremely rare experience.
