"I want to know, what are the people in charge of collecting intelligence doing recently? Why did we get the news so late? Tan Juren's son made such a big fight in Sanya, could it be that before that, he Is no one watching him?"
"The Sanya embassy spends so much money every year, and every time it submits a report, it claims that the situation is under control. Is this what you do? Is this what you say is under control? It's all useless food and drink!"
The old man who was furious was Simao, the special commissioner who had just arrived in Sanya.The people standing in front of him, including Thomas, the ambassador to Sanya, all bowed their heads, not daring to take a breath.
Although Simao does not have a formal official title, his qualifications and reputation are much deeper than those in the Sanya embassy.Even though his reprimand was a bit overwhelming, no one dared to refute.
As early as 20 years ago when Haihan sent troops to attack Manila, Simao, as one of the few Portuguese officers who could speak Chinese at that time, was appointed by the governor of Malacca, Costa, to join the Haihan coalition as a military observer and translator, and participated in the whole process The war that changed the situation in the South China Sea.
After the battle in Manila ended, Simao went north with the Haihan army, and participated in the war to aid Korea and resist Qing Dynasty in the same capacity.Simao was a witness to every battle that the coalition forces fought in North Korea that year.
During this period, Simao gradually developed a good personal friendship with Haihan's high-level officials, especially several senior generals in the military, and even established some upper-level contacts in North Korea.
For a long period of time afterwards, Simao has been in charge of the liaison and coordination between the armies of the two countries, and has successively visited many Haihan military bases such as Jinzhou in Liaodong, Zhoushan in Zhejiang, Manila in Luzon, and Jinlan Port in Annan. It can be said that it is a genuine Haihantong.
If it weren't for being a little older and the family's influence in the country was a little bit weaker, with Simao's qualifications, he would have even had the opportunity to become the successor of the Governor of Malacca.
Not only Costa has a lot of trust in Simão, but even Lopez, the successor appointed by the domestic royal family, also relies on him to handle Portugal's affairs in East Asia.
Simao shook his head slightly and said: "If you want the public to think that the lottery is unfair, or there are other tricks in it, there must be credible examples. But the activities they hold are all held in public, and there are hundreds of people at the scene Staring, it’s not so easy to cause trouble. And there are police and army at the scene to maintain order, obviously the Fort Victory provides support for it, you have to be careful of getting burned!”
Regardless of the feelings of the Portuguese, the Haihan army of Xingdao sent troops to take down several places at the northern end of the Strait of Malacca. Although Lopez personally mediated, the Haihan army failed to spit out the meat they ate. .
Simao waved his hand and said: "But the fact is that he led this publicity campaign. It's too late for you to say this now. The effectiveness of the publicity you called in the past few years can be said to have been destroyed. Let me ask you , how do you plan to remedy the current situation?"
Seeing that the group of people were silent, Simao directly named the person in charge, Thomas.
Simao interrupted impatiently: "Then why didn't you stare at this Tan Tianming? I saw him today, and he was only a half-grown child, and you let a child do it right under your nose without noticing it." Isn’t this a sign of incompetence for such a big event?”
It is certainly not uncommon for the Xingdao authorities to take such a move. After all, its development must rely on the domestic support of Haihan, but the Portuguese embassy was not aware of this in advance, so that there was no way to deal with the situation. The real reason for Simao's rage.
Thomas hesitated, "Then why don't you... attack the organizers directly so that they can't hold the follow-up activities?"
But only a few days after Xi Mang arrived in Sanya, he happened to meet Tan Tianming's series of promotional activities for Xingdao.This is undoubtedly a resounding hammer for Portugal, which wants to create public opinion within Haihan and curb the expansion of Xingdao.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Thomas had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond: "Master Simao, according to the usual practice, we will conduct long-term monitoring of Xingdao's office in Sanya, but after the head of this office left for recuperation due to a serious illness last year, It basically came to a standstill, and until this campaign, nothing happened."
In fact, it was Lopez's idea to let Simao go to Sanya as a special commissioner to handle diplomatic affairs this time.
"Mr. Thomas, I think if you just use 'negligence' to explain such a mistake, it is obviously not accurate. As an ambassador, what do you think is the problem?"
"This time, I suspect that there is someone behind him who advised him and instructed him how to act. Otherwise, with his qualifications and knowledge, how could he come up with so many weird ideas?"
Thomas said: "Maybe we can find people to participate in the lottery, and then create some troubles from it, so that the public will question the authenticity and effectiveness of the entire event."
"What we can confirm now is that this event was not organized by the Sing Tao office, but Tan Tianming, the second son of Tan Juren, secretly organized it."
Thomas argued: "My lord, this Tan Tianming only came to Sanya to study half a year ago. He usually keeps a low profile and rarely shows his face outside. After our assessment, we believe that his danger level is extremely low, and it is difficult to monitor him, so no countermeasures have been arranged. "
Afterwards, Lopez learned from the experience, and believed that part of the reason was that Thomas, the ambassador in Sanya, did not do his job effectively. He failed to effectively dissuade Haihan from carrying out this military operation beforehand, so he transferred Simao to Sanya and asked him to confirm the work of the embassy.
Cold sweat broke out on Thomas's forehead. It seemed that Simao was not ignorant of the real situation of this matter, and it was not so easy to get away with it.
Simon glanced at him and couldn't help sighing.Although Thomas has served in Sanya for a long time, he is really mediocre and has no brains. He can say such unrealistic words. It is no wonder that he was unable to dissuade Haihan from taking military actions in the South China Sea.
Simao said in a deep voice: "If something happens to Tan Tianming at this time, whoever is the beneficiary will be the most suspected. You can't miss this, right? What's more, his father is a high-ranking official in Xingdao. How can he let it go when something happens? Haihan will definitely investigate to the end, will you be able to clear up the responsibility by then?"
"This..." Thomas was speechless for a moment.
It's not that he doesn't know the serious consequences of touching Tan Tianming, but facing the pressure from Simao, he can't think of any effective way to stop these propaganda activities led by Xing Tao.
