Chapter 656 Foreign Minister Ribbentrop
As night fell and the lights came on, a black car slowly drove away from the noisy streets and headed towards the Su residence. Inside the car, the atmosphere was a little serious. Su Zhengyang sat at the driver's side with a firm and deep look in his eyes. Li Yunlong beside him had a serious expression and was always vigilantly watching everything outside the window.
The car was driving on a smooth road, and occasionally the light of street lamps would pass through the car window, illuminating a corner of the car. Fang Dihu slightly adjusted his sitting posture, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic: "President, you did not give Prince Windsor even the slightest face today, which may make him dissatisfied."
Su Zhengyang heard this and turned his head slightly. His eyes did not fluctuate at all, as if he had already expected Fang Dihu to say such a thing. He replied calmly: "It doesn't matter whether he is dissatisfied with me or not. What's important is that now our China has become the weight that maintains the balance of the entire world war." Su Zhengyang's words revealed a firm belief. His eyes looked into the distance, as if he was examining the road ahead.
The car fell into a brief silence again, with only the sound of the car and the light and shadow of the street lamps intertwined. Fang Dihu nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Su Zhengyang's words. He continued: "Yes, President. Our China's current status is no longer the same. Even if Prince Windsor is dissatisfied with you, he will not show it at this time."
Su Zhengyang nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with the words of the other party. He spoke again: "Tomorrow, we will also attend Ambassador Bird's banquet. We should show enthusiasm but not too close to both sides." Su Zhengyang's words were full of thoughtful wisdom. He knew how to maintain a neutral attitude in this complex political situation.
The car continued to move forward. The night grew darker and darker. The conversation between Su Zhengyang and Fang Dihu continued. They were formulating a more long-term and appropriate strategic diplomatic plan for China's future.
At nine o'clock in the morning of the second day, the sun shone softly through the gauze-like clouds onto the ancient building of Taihualin Hotel. This hotel, located at the easternmost end of Beilong City, is in sharp contrast to Longteng Hotel where Prince Windsor held a dinner yesterday. Taihualin Hotel does not pursue the luxury of splendor, but is characterized by natural beauty and simple charm.
In the hotel, small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and waterside pavilions interweave into a beautiful painting, as if you are in an exquisite Jiangnan garden. This was once a royal garden during the Shuiqing Empire period. After years of baptism and modern transformation, it has become the leading hotel in Beilongcheng, as famous as Longteng Hotel.
Su Zhengyang's motorcade slowly drove into the hotel and stopped in front of an elegant door. He was wearing a dark suit and walked down with steady steps. The hotel staff came forward and respectfully opened the door for him.
"President Su, you are here." Seckt, dressed in a fine suit, had been waiting at the door. He smiled and greeted Su Zhengyang, extending his hands enthusiastically to shake hands with him. Seckt was the ambassador of the German state of Burgerland. Today he would hold a banquet for Su Zhengyang and introduce a heavyweight figure.
"Welcome to Taihualin Hotel, President Su." Seckt's voice was full of respect and enthusiasm. "The natural beauty and ancient charm here will surely give you a moment of peace after your busy work."
Su Zhengyang smiled and nodded, thanking Sekt for his warm reception. He looked around, admiring the unique style of the hotel, and couldn't help but admire it.
"Today I would like to introduce a heavyweight figure to President Su." Seckt said as he led Su Zhengyang towards the banquet hall.
When Su Zhengyang entered the banquet hall, he scanned the entire venue and found that the atmosphere here was very different from the dinner party held by Prince Windsor last night. There were not many people attending, and the entire banquet hall seemed empty and quiet. In addition to the familiar Ambassador Sekt and Italian Ambassador Marco Imperato, he also saw five distinguished guests of different appearances.
Sekt led Su Zhengyang to an old man with a noble temperament. The old man was wearing a dark suit, and his gestures revealed a majestic temperament. Sekt introduced: "President Su, this is the royal aristocrat of the Ronian Empire, Prince Charles Rothschild. His Royal Highness has always been the pride of the Ronian Empire, and he also plays a pivotal role in international affairs."
Then, Sekt took Su Zhengyang to a tall middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had a sharp look in his brows and wore a well-cut suit, which made him look capable and energetic. Sekt introduced him, "This is the Foreign Minister of the Hungarian Empire, Mr. Joseph Sokolnikov. The Hungarian Empire was once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although it is now independent, Mr. Sokolnikov's experience and wisdom in international affairs are still highly respected."
Then, Sekt led Su Zhengyang to a middle-aged noblewoman. She was wearing a gorgeous dress and exquisite jewelry on her head, and her temperament was elegant and graceful. Sekt introduced: "This is the wife of the Bulgarian Empire, Princess Sofia Alexandrovna. Her Royal Highness is not only a representative of the nobility of the Bulgarian Empire, but also an enthusiastic supporter of culture and art."
When Su Zhengyang shook hands with Ambassador Marco Imperato again, Seckt took him to a tall and handsome man. The man was wearing a neat suit and had a warm smile on his face. Seckt introduced him solemnly, "President Su, this is the heavyweight I want to introduce to you today - the Foreign Minister of the Bird Empire, Mr. Joachim von Ribbentrop."
Joachim von Ribbentrop extended his hand to Su Zhengyang, his smile carrying a barely perceptible depth: "President Su, I have long heard of your great name. I deeply admire your philosophy of governing the country and your leadership ability. In this turbulent era, it is a blessing to meet a visionary and courageous leader like you."
Su Zhengyang shook the other party's hand and responded: "Mr. Ribbentrop, I really don't deserve your praise. In this era of globalization, all countries need to work together to meet challenges. I believe that only mutual respect and mutual benefit and win-win results can promote world peace and development."
The conversation between the two revealed both courtesy and sincerity. Joachim von Ribbentrop's eyes flashed with admiration: "President Su, I admire your mind and vision. You are not only concerned about the interests of your own country, but also the future of the world. There are not many such leaders in the world today."
Su Zhengyang smiled slightly and responded modestly: "Mr. Ribbentrop, thank you for your praise. I always believe that the prosperity and prosperity of a country is inseparable from friendly exchanges and cooperation with other countries. Our country has always been adhering to the diplomatic philosophy of peace, cooperation and win-win, and hopes to work with all countries to promote world peace and development."
In the seemingly enthusiastic exchanges, Su Zhengyang keenly perceived the inner heart of Joachim von Ribbentrop. He seemed to be very enthusiastic towards everyone, but in fact he kept a certain distance from everyone. This distance was not indifference, but caution and rationality.
