Chapter 339 Su Zhengyang's Private Dinner Political Diplomacy
The next evening, the entire Beilong Guobin Hotel had been booked in advance by Su Zhengyang and would not receive any guests other than those attending the dinner.
Su Zhengyang changed into a well-fitting black suit, which made his figure look even more upright and handsome. He sat in a private room on the top floor of the hotel, looking through the window at the scene in front of the hotel gate below.
Today, Su Zhengyang is the most sought-after figure in the entire Northern Frontier. He personally led the Northern Expedition Army to recover the lost territory in the Northeast, and single-handedly directed the bloody incident in the Fuso Concession. There are rumors that Yang Jiakai has already designated him as the only candidate for the next president of Northern Frontier.
The consuls who received Su Zhengyang's invitation were also very respectful. They all dressed up and arrived at the Beilong Guobin Hotel on time.
At this time, a black sedan slowly stopped in front of the entrance of Beilong Guobin Hotel. The tall and slightly fat French Consul Frank, wearing a black suit, bow tie and black top hat, got out of the car with two bodyguards.
The media reporters gathered in front of the hotel entrance immediately focused their spotlights and cameras on Frank, who was in high spirits.
Frank walked on the red carpet with a humble smile on his face and entered the hotel lobby. Fu Jiang came up to greet him and said in fluent French, "Welcome Consul Frank to attend the exchange dinner hosted by Councillor Su. Come on, take Consul Frank to the banquet hall on the third floor."
Frank showed a look of surprise and responded, "Oh, Secretary Fu, your French is really authentic. Did you return from studying in France?"
Fu Jiang responded politely, "I graduated from the Royal College of London, England, but when I was studying abroad, I also learned three foreign languages, including French, German, and Japanese. It would be inappropriate for me to show off in front of Consul Frank, a French nobleman."
"Secretary Fu is too polite. I'll go up first. Secretary Fu, see you later."
As time went on, the consuls of the ten major Western powers that had established concessions in Jinggang City, including the Anglo-Hungarian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Roman Empire, the Russian Empire, the Byrd Empire, the United States, the Belgian Empire, the Riel Empire, and the Polish Empire, except Fuso, all arrived.
On the Northern Frontier government side, in addition to Su Zhengyang, Duan Jinshu, Feng Changan, Jiang Yanlin and others also attended in their best attire.
Yang Jiakai, the current president of Northern Xinjiang, did not appear at the banquet, which sent a message to the outside world that this dinner was a one-man show by Su Zhengyang, and also showed how much Yang Jiakai valued Su Zhengyang.
"Hello, Mr. Frank. We met once before at the dinner party where I was promoted to Congressman."
"Hello Sir Will, welcome to my dinner party."
"Hello, Mr. Hilde, we in the Northern Frontier have always maintained friendly relations with the Bird Empire..."
"Mr. Reed, come, let's have a drink together."
Su Zhengyang behaved gracefully and appropriately at the dinner, chatting and laughing with the consuls present.
Duan Jinshu looked at Su Zhengyang, who was becoming more and more mature, and nodded secretly. If one wanted to be a qualified leader of a regime, one must not only have a strong hand, but also have quite sophisticated political and diplomatic means. This is also a compulsory course for a mature politician.
After a friendly exchange, Su Zhengyang walked up to the podium with steady steps. Under the gazes of countless people, he spoke slowly and calmly: "Today, I invite all the consuls representing their respective countries to attend Su's dinner. In fact, the real purpose is to give you a satisfactory answer to the tragedy that occurred in the Fuso Concession this time."
"I heard that since the Fusang Concession was reduced to ruins, merchants and expatriates in the major concessions have stayed indoors for fear of being harmed by mobs outside. The military police in the concessions have also set up checkpoints and sentries at the borders of the concessions day and night to prevent accidents. This has seriously hindered the economic development of the entire Beijing-Hong Kong City, and the people in the concessions are in a state of panic all day long."
"I, Su Zhengyang, can assure you here that the problems in the Fusang Concession will never affect other concessions. The root cause is that Fusang was brutal and cruel, wantonly killing our Chinese expatriates and students, and then constantly shirking responsibility and refusing to give a reasonable explanation, which ultimately led to the tragedy."
Su Zhengyang paused and his expression became visibly gloomy.
"Someone, bring up to me the mastermind of the killing of overseas Chinese in Kyoto, the vice president of the Black Dragon Society, Kuwata Orinobu!"
Following Su Zhengyang's order, Li Yunlong and Wei Dayong, one on the left and one on the right, personally escorted a middle-aged Japanese man wearing a kimono, who was short and strong and looked extremely frightened, and forced him to kneel down under the podium.
"Ever since the killing of overseas Chinese, I, Su Zhengyang, have secretly vowed to seek justice for the Chinese overseas Chinese. My people have traveled across the ocean to capture the executioner, Kuwata Orinobu, from Kyoto, Fuso!"
"As for this person's identity, you can all use your own methods to verify it. Now, Kuwata Orinobu, you tell me! What is the truth behind this killing of overseas Chinese?"
Kuwata Orinobu was shaking all over. On the second day after the killing of overseas Chinese, he was controlled by the intelligence personnel of the Fuso Intelligence Department with tough means and was immediately secretly sent to Beilong City. After experiencing a series of inhuman tortures, Kuwata Orinobu had already thrown away the emperor and the spirit of Bushido. Facing Su Zhengyang's questioning, Kuwata Orinobu said in a low voice, "It was... Lord Suzuki of the cabinet who asked me to organize the warriors of the Black Dragon Society to spread rumors among the people of Fuso and incite the hatred of the people of Fuso towards China. Afterwards, I sent my men again to guide the angry people and finally carried out the killing of overseas Chinese. I was forced to do it. All this was the intention of that despicable villain Suzuki Taro!"
The consuls of various countries present all showed thoughtful expressions. Is the truth of the Fuso killing of overseas Chinese important? In fact, it is not important. People with discerning eyes have already made a conclusion in their hearts. But if Su Zhengyang has the evidence and puts it in the open, the meaning will be very different.
Seeing that the consuls present were already discussing something, Su Zhengyang smiled.
"Before, the mainstream Western media, including the Bird Empire and the Ingrid Empire, all sided with Fuso and condemned me, Su Zhengyang, for killing prisoners of war. I, Su Zhengyang, admitted it, but this time, Fuso's conspiracy to kill overseas Chinese is already in front of us. If you continue to support Fuso, reverse black and white, and confuse right and wrong, it will be unacceptable."
