Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 1786 New Threat (rd update, please subscribe)

The debate that took place at the United Nations General Assembly was broadcast live on satellite television that day and was broadcast all over the world. People saw Zhang Peilun's righteous words and the French representative's anger and humiliation.

Of course, they also expressed their agreement with France's traditional custom of just raising their hands. Even television stations and newspapers in Europe and the United States started to use the French flag as a joke.

In fact, this is the most real scene in the world. Most of the time, ordinary people are fun-loving people. People always take advantage of various opportunities to have fun, no matter whether they are Europeans or Americans. Except for the French, everyone can always find common ground when making fun of the French.

Faced with such ridicule or humiliation, the French were naturally extremely embarrassed. As for French President Pompidou, he made a televised speech that day, declaring that the SEA's military actions in Libya were unacceptable and that France would do its utmost to use all possible means to force the SEA to withdraw its troops.

For a time, the whole world's attention was attracted by France. No one thought that France would be so stubborn - are they crazy?
"Look at Pompidou's historic speech, in which he declared that the SEA's military action in Libya was unacceptable."

"Pompidou said he would force SEA to withdraw at any cost!"

The newspaper seller's shouting was so loud that every time Lin Dechuan heard him yelling at the top of his lungs, he felt his whole body shaking.

However, Lin Dechuan had no interest in this piece of news. It was not that he did not take France's warning seriously, but because on the day when the French president issued the warning, the Paris stock market fell directly, and even the franc fell by two percentage points.

It feels good to talk big, but you will have to pay a price for it in the end, especially as a head of state. He can talk big, but the market will react to his talk.

"Oh, really, it's said that you shouldn't hit someone in the face, and don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold them. These diplomats have no scruples when they talk nonsense. Do you know that the French are very concerned about their reputation? What about the elegance of France?"

Thinking of the diplomats' sarcasm towards the French at the United Nations General Assembly, Lin Dechuan couldn't help laughing. Being able to associate raising hands with French elegance was simply... extremely refreshing.

As for being welcomed, it means that the French President will make some aggressive speeches on TV, but will not take any actual action.

It’s not that France didn’t take action, but how France took action - would it go to war with another major power that possesses nuclear weapons and can strike France just for Libya?
If that guy really intended to do this, the Parisians would probably launch a coup against him without waiting for him to give the order. Then, how would he describe this argument?

To be honest, Lin Dechuan was also very curious and even a little bit expectant.

With a smile on his face, he heard a burst of noisy shouting in the distance. Hearing those sounds, Lin Dechuan frowned.

His expression became more and more serious.

In the past few days, Lin Dechuan has witnessed a wave of protests in France, Italy, and even the United Kingdom against SEA's invasion of Libya, and public opinion has also been full of accusations against SEA.

"This is what white leftists are like. They never care that SEA is the one that suffers the most."

While talking to himself, Lin Dechuan took a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it, took a puff, and just silently looked across the street - in front of the representative office, it was crowded with people who came to protest, both British and some Middle Eastern people. They were there burning the double-star flag and accusing SEA of brutal invasion.

The French president is just talking nonsense, but these guys are venting their dissatisfaction in their own way.
Even standing across the street, Lin Dechuan could hear clearly what they were saying. They repeated over and over again about SEA's brutal invasion, accusing SEA of preventing the Libyan people from making their own choices, and so on.

After taking a puff of cigarette and exhaling the smoke, Lin Dechuan said to himself:
"What a bunch of double standard dogs. If it was the people's choice, why launch a military coup?"

It's simply unreasonable, but even though they say so, they can't stop these people from venting their emotions there.

"It's just to vent your emotions, what else can you do?"

There was a hint of contempt in Lin Dechuan's tone, and of course some helplessness.

This is indeed helpless. Their diplomats can ridicule French representatives at the United Nations General Assembly, but they are powerless in the face of protests from these white leftists. People can't fight with dogs, right?

“The world has changed, hasn’t it?”

At this moment, a man came up to him and said:

"If you had done this a century ago, no one would have thought you shouldn't have done it, but now..."

The person standing next to him said with a smile.

“Now everyone will accuse you of being imperialist invaders.”

"My friend, please be careful with your words. We sent troops to help the King of Libya suppress the rebels at his invitation."

Lin Dechuan didn't even turn around when he spoke.

He knew who the guy next to him was.

It was Lieutenant Colonel Midrovich, head of the KGB intelligence station in London.

"You must be gloating over there right now."

Lin Dechuan's words made Midrovich laugh.

"Weren't you gloating there last year?" The last year he was referring to was the invasion of Czechoslovakia last year, when the Soviet Union was widely condemned by the whole world.

But as we all know, those accusations were meaningless, and the Soviet Union would not pay any attention to them either.
"We are different from you."

Lin Dechuan took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Lieutenant Colonel Midrovich. After taking the cigarette and lighting it, the Lieutenant Colonel said:

"Yes, it is different. Your actions are more blatant. Even though you say you are helping the king of Libya, the fundamental reason is that Gaddafi wants to nationalize your oil fields. That is why you launched this military action to help the king of Libya restore his rule in Libya."

Everyone is a smart person and knows the real reason behind the other party's actions very well. So, faced with such directness, Lin Dechuan simply chose to remain silent and did not make any excuses.

Midrovich, holding a cigarette, looked at the protesting British people and said:
"So your actions have been criticized by countries all over the world. But it is well known that you don't care about this issue at all."

Midrovich looked at his friend beside him and said that to a certain extent, SEAs was the most authentic country in the Western world.

They are just doing what imperialism is all about. They never disguise it, they are naked and very direct.

I don't care about so-called justice or morality at all.

It is also because of this that they are in a certain invincible position.

It is almost impossible to attack such an opponent morally because he does not care about morality at all.

He is an imperialist country.

The most ironic thing in the world is that you accuse an imperialist country of practicing imperialism...Do you need to blame yourself for this? This is the true face of others, okay,

But some people just make such accusations.

"Because you are a typical imperialist country. Everything you do is what imperialist countries do."

In response to such compliments, Lin Dechuan said:
"Each each other."

The sound of "mutual" made Midrovich shrug helplessly. Although his dream had suffered a blow to some extent, he still had faith.

"We are different from you."

After making his excuses, Midrovich did not continue on this topic. Instead, he took a puff of cigarette and said:
"My friend, I need to remind you that the military action you carried out this time has not only been widely opposed in the Western world, but has also caused a strong response in the Middle East. Many Middle Eastern countries are extremely angry. After all, you have been damaging the interests of Middle Eastern countries, so..."

Looking at his friend Midrovich beside him, he said.

"Perhaps soon, someone will retaliate against you in other ways."

Listening to Midrovich's reminder, Lin Dechuan frowned and said:

"You mean the terrorist attacks?"

"Maybe, who knows?"

Midlewich looked at the Middle Eastern people in the protest crowd and said:

"We never know what they will do. But they are hostile to you because you not only stand on the side of Israel, but you also interfere in the Middle East again and again.

From Saudi Arabia to Iraq to Libya. Over and over again.”

In fact, the first country to stand on Israel's side was the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union once supported Israel to break the control of Britain and France over the Middle East, and then after achieving this goal, it turned to support Egypt. Such adjustment of interests between countries is simply too normal and there is nothing to blame.

After all, all countries in the world will adjust their foreign policies according to the times.
After a brief pause, Midrovich said:
"So, you should pay attention to this. This is a friendly reminder from a friend."

Nodding, Lin Dechuan said.

"Thank you my friend."

"Don't thank me,"

Midrovich took a puff of his cigarette and said:
"What I need you to understand is that no matter what happens in the future, it has nothing to do with us. We do not advocate or support them taking any action against you. Do you understand me?"

"understand."

Now Lin Dechuan finally understood why the other party came here. It was to make their position clear to him and distance themselves from him. In other words, the terrorist attack was inevitable!
