Simao, who was sitting opposite Schneider, couldn't believe that the words that came to his ears just now came from the mouth of a high-ranking Haihan official.He had been vaccinated by Thomas before he came, and he also expected that Haihan's diplomats might deny his accusations with various rhetoric, but he never expected that the other party did not deny it, but decisively pushed the responsibility for this matter A clean sheet.
If they really follow Schneider's statement and go to Haihan's military and propaganda department to question the crime, they will probably be treated as a ball and kicked back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Seeing Schneider's innocent expression, Simao couldn't help being furious. The other party obviously didn't take him seriously at all, which is why he gave such absurd reply.
He was about to lose his temper, and Thomas, who was next to him, had already seen his reaction, and hurriedly said: "Master Shi, you are just joking. The situation we are talking about involves the relationship between the two countries, and of course it is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Schneider smiled and said: "But the army and the propaganda department are not agencies under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. What do you want me to do? As the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, teach them a lesson?"
Schneider's response was obviously a bit nonsense, but Thomas still had to be patient and continue to deal with him: "From the standpoint of an ally, we hope that Mr. Shi can stop these unfriendly behaviors towards our country as soon as possible, otherwise our country will keep power to take further steps."
Schneider shrugged and said, "All I can do is to convey your opinions to the relevant departments. As for whether they will stop, that's not something I can decide."
"I also stand on the standpoint of an ally, and I advise you two not to use the normal activities of our country as a conspiracy against your country. Don't try to use any abnormal means to stop these activities, so as not to trigger more serious incidents. as a result of."
"Also, regarding the matter of Xingdao, I suggest that your country directly contact the local authorities of Xingdao to negotiate, instead of bringing trivial matters to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I believe that you, like me, have a lot of business to deal with. There is no need to waste everyone's precious time for these speculative news."
The words were not speculative, and since the two sides couldn't reach an agreement, Schneider didn't intend to spend any time with them, so he quickly got up and left on the grounds that he was busy with business, leaving Simao and Thomas looking at each other.
"Why did I listen to what he said, and we became the wrong party?" Simao said with some annoyance: "Mr. Thomas, your attitude was too weak just now, you should let me negotiate with him!"
Thomas said: "Master Simao, haven't you noticed his tone? He seems to know something. If we are too tough, maybe he will tear his face apart."
Simao said: "You mean that our people were kidnapped a few days ago? Schneider may also be an insider?"
Thomas said: "Who knows? If the Haihan officials really organized it behind the scenes, then it's not surprising that he knew about it."
Simon didn't respond.If Schneider really knows the inside story of that incident, it is equivalent to holding a handle on the embassy. If the two sides tear each other up, and the other party shakes up the matter, it will indeed not look good.
But in this way, the purpose of their trip was not achieved at all, and Schneider was ridiculed instead.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs failed to obtain an explanation. If the investigation continues, it can only negotiate directly with the Executive Committee.But when it got to that point, the matter got to the sky, and there was no room for maneuver.Even the fiery Simao didn't dare to make a decision rashly.
However, Schneider was originally a member of the executive committee, and negotiating at his level was actually no different from dealing directly with the executive committee.
In other words, Schneider's attitude probably represents the meaning of the Executive Committee.
It wasn't until this moment that Simao understood why Thomas was not optimistic about the result of the trip before coming to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
After the meeting, Schneider did not return to the Ministry of Commerce, but went straight to Fort Victory, found Ning Qi who was negotiating with Tao Donglai, and informed the two of the negotiation process with the Portuguese just now.
"Why did this kind of article appear in the Haihan Times? Sing Tao's actions can be done quietly as before. Why bother to make such a big publicity to stimulate the Portuguese."
Although Schneider was extremely tough in front of the Portuguese just now, the problems that existed in the process still need to be understood afterwards.
Ning Qi has always been in charge of Haihan's propaganda work. The Haihan Times newspaper office is under the jurisdiction of the Propaganda Department, and the Propaganda Department is under the Ministry of Culture and Education. It is said that they are all organizations under Ning Qi.
The Portuguese acted in accordance with diplomatic procedures and did not trouble Ning Qi first, but Schneider blocked the matter for the Propaganda Department, so naturally they had to ask Ning Qi face to face.
Ning Qi spread his hands and said: "This matter has nothing to do with me, you can ask Lao Tao!"
Schneider looked at Tao Donglai and said, "Old Tao, is this what you mean?"
Tao Donglai nodded and said, "I arranged for someone to write the article, but the purpose of this is not to stimulate the Portuguese."
Seeing him stop there, Schneider couldn't help urging: "Old Tao, don't just talk halfway!"
Tao Donglai said, "Then do you have time now?"
Schneider smiled: "Yes, you speak slowly, and I listen slowly."
Tao Donglai said: "It just so happens that Ning Qi and I are also discussing something related to Xingdao, so you can listen to it together."
"In recent years, the development of Xingdao has become more and more constrained by the growth rate of population. There is even a trend of reverse immigration. There will be a negative growth phenomenon in the next few years, and it should not be difficult for you to imagine what will happen locally, right?"
Schneider replied: "But judging from the financial reports over the years, the local economic situation in Xingdao is actually not bad, and the income is still increasing year by year. Why is the population in the situation you mentioned?"
"This is exactly the problem." Tao Donglai explained: "Although the local income has increased, the living environment has not been greatly improved, and the conditions in all aspects are far worse than those in China. Then some local people will get rich after they become rich. , will choose to move to China for the development of themselves or their offspring.”
Ning Qi added: "Looking at the statistics in the field of culture and education, the number of people from Xingdao who came to Sanya to study and study has increased tenfold in the past five years, and more and more young children are being sent back to China. Studying. The proportion of those who returned to China to study, and their relatives who came back together to take care of them, returned to Sing Tao is actually not too high."
"It is worth noting that these people who have the conditions to return to China to study and live are often the local upper class, or lieutenant colonels, or gentry children. The gradual loss of these people has a great impact on the local area. Profound."
Tao Donglai said: "Lao Shi, if you were the governor of Xingdao, what would you do if you encountered such a situation?"
