Chapter 34 US Special Envoy
"Your cigar theory is quite interesting. Have you been ready since you knew Mr. Churchill was coming?"
Elena Beier, wearing roller skating, followed Tang Yunyang to supervise his morning jog, just like every morning.
Just like every morning, I talked to Tang Yunyang about some interesting topics.
"Where is it? It's just a prop that comes to mind temporarily. In addition, if he changes the brand of cigars, will our cigars replace the status of Cuban cigars in the world in the future?"
Now Churchill is just a dissatisfied little man in British politics, but one day he will become the British Prime Minister, Tang Yunyang is 100% sure of this.
Just like the competition for cigars, he will not do things that are not sure.
"Why don't I believe what you said about the future of Gibraltar. You and the old wolf who only know how to love money are not good people. I don't believe that you have any kindness to that place!"
Elena Bell, who was standing on the roller skating, didn't speak loudly when she said these words. That was because the pair of twins from her home were tied to a long rope behind her.
At this time, the gentlemanly brother had to support his little sister. Because the little girl who was still holding a doll could sleep on roller skating.
Tang Yunyang curled his lips, so he would not be fooled. He deliberately gasped and pretended that he was unable to continue his strength.
"Hey, Elena, I'm almost exhausted, and you didn't realize that under your transformation, I'm now like a good person?"
Elena Beier will probably be the most difficult and inescapable enemy in Tang Yunyang's life.
"It's just like it. In Chinese, what's it called? Oh, it's just a tiger drawing. Even if you draw tiger skins, you can't draw the tiger's character."
Tang Yunyang stopped talking, he didn't want to tell Elena Bel that he was still a bad guy. So he pretended to be more rapid, as if he would sit on the ground in a moment.
"Okay, I can see that you don't want to talk about this topic. That doesn't matter. I hope you remember that the US special envoy will come to Qin Island today."
This news made Tang Yunyang feel some unpleasant feelings. Today, the United States, controlled by Franklin Roosevelt, has not yet escaped the trend of isolationism.
"I know that he is not willing to stay quietly in that paradise. Then one day, we have to meet somewhere in the battlefield in the world!"
For a long time, some people may know that Tang Yunyang is a little afraid of the Americans. So in various crises, Americans can often gain some benefits to calm their minds down.
So now, when the world's great turmoil begins and the forces of the entire world begin to integrate and intend to reshuffle, will there be any changes to the US policy?
"Of course not, we will not always be so friendly with the Federation of China. After all, one day in the future, somewhere interests will cause our two countries to collide with each other. So what will be the result?"
The speaker picked up his top hat and walked out of his US-made long-distance passenger plane and appeared in front of the welcome crowd.
Below the plane was the Vice President of the Chinese Federation, Jane Meilin, and Foreign Minister Gu Weijun, who came to welcome Tang Yunyang.
“Welcome to Mr. Hopkins!”
Jane Merlin appeared in front of Franklin Roosevelt's envoy Harry Hopkins with a smile.
"His Excellency Vice President, Minister Gu Weijun!"
Harry Hopkins had a polite smile on his face, and he understood that the treatment given to him by the Federation of China this time was not low.
Although Tang Yunyang did not appear here, the appearance of his wife, Vice President Jane Meilin, is enough to illustrate the problem.
"The Chinese Federation has always paid attention to its relations with the United States, but is this a hypocritical diplomatic expression of theirs?"
This problem often plagues Franklin Roosevelt, who is somewhat confused about the interests of the Chinese Federation and the United States in the future.
If only talking about personal relationships, then he cannot deny that Tang Yunyang is definitely a good friend.
"The question that the President is worried about now is what attitude the Chinese Federation will have in the future war. Especially on the security issues in the Pacific region, what is his opinion!"
Harry Hopkins knew that this was the issue that Franklin Roosevelt was most concerned about. The attitude of the Chinese Federation towards the Pacific region will ultimately determine the United States' issue of the allocation of resources in Europe and the Pacific.
As for war, that's not a problem.
"It's only a matter of time before the United States joins the war!"
Harry Hopkins and Jane Merlin spoke some high-sounding diplomatic language, with eyes paying attention to the prosperity of Qin Island, and thinking about Franklin Roosevelt's attention to the Pacific region.
At this moment, in the Crystal Palace's own office, Tang Yunyang was waiting for the arrival of Harry Hopkins. While waiting, he was thinking about why Franklin Roosevelt did not use the secret communication system between them this time.
Looking at the leisurely people in the square outside the Crystal Palace outside the window, Tang Yunyang's eyes saw a further place.
"This is a transaction between national interests and national interests that requires excluding personal feelings!
Hum, I think this is something that is inevitable in international struggle. Humanitarianism is just used to cover up the truth. The real thing is just interests, and it is probably the most fundamental contradiction between China and the United States!”
There is no hatred between China and the United States. Some are just the size of the voice in future international affairs and the amount of the decision-making power when allocating international resources.
"Although we are personal friends, when facing the interests of the nation and the country, these friendships are nothing more than a matter of laying down a wreath and silence on the grave of the defeated party!"
Tang Yunyang was smoking a cigar, thinking about the future of Sino-US conflicts.
This is a competition that is entirely caused by the current international situation and the future strength of the two countries, which is almost inevitable.
"Anyway, we both had to fight."
It seems to be summarizing my own thoughts. This last statement probably indicates that the competition in the Pacific will ultimately determine the future of the world.

Tang Yunyang sat on the sofa, looking at the person in front of him who was Franklin Roosevelt's personal assistant and his close friend.
"Well, I haven't heard President Roosevelt's voice for a long time. How is he doing recently? I think the relationship between our two countries has always been based on frank discussions. So please tell me directly, Mr. Hopkins, what are the problems between our two countries?"
"He is a guy that everyone is afraid of, but he is not a slaughter!"
This has always been something that Hopkins and his friend Franklin Roosevelt admired very much during the discussion.
"He is very good at Mr. President. Speaking of the problems between our two countries, it is fundamentally just a matter of Pacific security. President Roosevelt is now beginning to worry about the possibility of conflict between the United States and the East Asian coalition led by Japan in the future."
Tang Yunyang's face showed a confused look, but in fact he guessed that Americans might have begun to pay attention to the changes in power balance that happened in East Asia.
"East Asian coalition? How is it possible! They are so far away from the United States, and as far as we know, the main function of the East Asian military coalition is to maintain stability in East Asia. They have conflicts with your country. Oh, this is really an unbelievable thing!"
Friendship with Franklin Roosevelt does not represent friendship between the Chinese Federation and the United States. Just like the Chinese Federation-style ***, it is similar and different from the *****/Eastern countries.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, some people jumped out and said that the Western or American route taken by the Chinese Federation was not suitable for China's current situation.
Regarding this doubt, the Chinese Baath Party, which advocates pragmatism, answered this way.
"This is an ignorant proposition. First of all, there are geographical differences? Secondly, are there only Americans in this world who have parliament? Or does the government with the Chinese Baath Party as the main body do not need to be supervised?"
From this point of view, we can see how ignorant the so-called leaders and politicians are.
"Yes, Mr. President, the conflict that may occur in the Pacific region is the most worrying thing President Roosevelt is. So he wants to hear the opinions!"
"Americans are worried about the Pacific Ocean, but they are worried about their voice in the future Europe! Without conflicts in the Pacific Ocean, they can intervene in the future war in Europe!
So what reason is that the United States has gained the interests of Europe, but the Chinese Federation has no interests at all, or what does the United States intend to give us during World War II?"
Tang Yunyang sneered in his heart against the United States, but his face was completely sincere to Hopkins. Even what he said showed the determination of the Chinese Federation not to participate in the war.
"I want to say, Mr. Hopkins, I think we all know the relationship between Japan and the Federation of China, and it's no secret.
But this does not mean that we will control them, nor does it mean that we will help them. Especially the relationships in our Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle are mainly economic relations, which does not mean that we will help them fight.
