    Zhong Yi¡¯s office is a suite, with an office inside and a living room outside.

    At this moment, Li Qimo and Commodus were sitting in the living room outside, talking quietly.

    Commodus said: "It is said that what happened in Yinjiang has spread to London?"

    Li Qimo shrugged and said helplessly: "No way, it's no longer a hundred years ago. A hundred years ago, human communication still relied on letters. It took at least several months or even half a year to travel from the Far East to London. But now  , it only takes a few seconds for radio waves to travel from the Far East to London.¡±

    Commodus asked: "The public opinion in London is very unfavorable to you?"

    Public opinion in London was not only unfavorable to Richmore, but was on the verge of impeaching him.

    Some members of the House of Commons have already issued an appeal, saying that he has no common sense as a diplomat and uses the Royal Marines to invade the territory of a sovereign country without authorization, which has disgraced the royal family!

    People like him are not worthy of being diplomats!  Unworthy of representing the image of the British Empire!

    "No way." Richmore shrugged again and said, "Those idiots in the House of Commons have completely lost their judgment on the world situation. They only know how to please voters and cater to stupid peaceful hedonism, but they don't know that the entire Europe  The whole world has already become a boiling pot of oil!"

    Commodus spread his hands and said, "So now, what are you going to do?"

    Li Qimo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked Commodus: "What should I do?"

    Commodus said: "Based on my speculation, Zhong Yi will probably not obey Chongqing's order and unconditionally release the ninety-seven Royal Marines officers and soldiers in custody. Therefore, I am afraid that public opinion in London will continue to ferment, and once public opinion is allowed to  If you hijack Downing Street's will, you'll be in trouble."

    "Can't you?" Li Qimo said, "Zhong Yi dares to disobey Chongqing's instructions?"

    "I'm afraid you have to be mentally prepared." Commodus shrugged, "As far as I know, this Zhong Yi was a commander before he entered politics. He often refused to carry out the orders of the Supreme Command of the National Army."

    "Oh Tefak?" Li Qimo said dumbfounded, "What should we do?"

    While the two were talking, footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor outside, and they shut up.

    After a while, Zhong Yi¡¯s tall and straight figure walked in from the office door.

    "Minister Li Qimo, Minister Kang Maode." Zhong Yi smiled and said, "I'm very sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

    Li Qimo and Kang Maode quickly stood up and shook hands with Zhong Yi. Seeing Zhong Yi's smiling face, Li Qimo felt relieved a little. It seemed that the situation was not too bad.

    Zhong Yi looked at his watch and said with a smile: "The two envoys came so late, they must have something important to do, right?"

    Li Qimo said sincerely: "Your Excellency, Mayor, we are here specifically to apologize to you!"

    People under the eaves had to bow their heads. In order to continue to serve as minister to Yinjiang and to preserve the family property he had accumulated in Yinjiang over the years, Li Qimo had no choice but to bow his head and give in.

    Zhong Yi said: "I am deeply gratified that Mr. Minister can have such an attitude."

    After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "This is the attitude that a responsible diplomatic envoy of a big country should have!"

    "Fake, Fake yo Mare!" Li Qimo greeted Zhong Yi's mother fiercely in his heart, but smiled on his face, "If the mayor needs it, I can publish a special article in tomorrow's Yinjiang Daily  A letter of apology.¡±

    "That's not necessary." Zhong Yi waved his hand lightly, saying that he didn't mean what he said and it was boring.

    "So" Li Qimo looked at Commodus and said, "Now that the matter is over, should the British Royal Marines who were detained by you also be released?"

    "You are talking about this." Zhong Yi showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle."

    Li Qimo's face immediately darkened, thinking that Commodus had really got it right. This man was so audacious that he really planned to refuse to carry out Chongqing's instructions.

    Li Qimo said cautiously: "As far as I know, Chongqing seems to have agreed to release him?"

    "Yes, Chongqing agreed to release him." Zhong Yi did not deny it, but then changed the topic and said, "But when and how to release him, Chongqing did not give clear instructions."

    Li Qimo was dumbfounded when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh that Zhong Yi's skill in debating was really superb.

    Of course, people are swords, I am a fish, no matter how heart -mindedHe could only endure his dissatisfaction, and then Li Qimo said again: "Your Excellency, Mayor, can I know where you are in trouble?"

    "Of course." Zhong Yi said straightforwardly, "The main issue is the cost."

    "The fee?" Li Qimo didn't understand at first and said blankly, "What is the fee?"

    "Actually, it's nothing." Zhong Yi said, "It's mainly the expenses incurred during the detention of your marines, such as transportation, food and accommodation, etc. Furthermore, in order to detain your marines, we had no choice but to dispatch armed personnel.  , the deployment of these armed personnel also requires hard work, right?"

    "What I thought it was, it turned out to be this." Li Qimo said, "Mayor, please tell me directly, how much is it?"

    Thinking about it in Richmore, how much would the transportation and food expenses of the 97 Marines cost?  In order to disarm and detain these ninety-seven marines, Yinjiang dispatched a lot of personnel, but even if these people's hard work is added, how much money can they make in total?  Li Qimo personally provided this expenditure!

    "Mr. Minister, you are so cheerful!" Zhong Yi clapped his hands and pulled an abacus that had been prepared from the table. While dialing, he said, "Then let me do the math first."

    "Here it is, there are ninety-seven marines from your country."

    "For the convenience of calculation, let's add a zero and calculate it as one hundred people."

    Hearing this, Li Qimo's face darkened. He had only heard of zeros being wiped down, but never heard of zeroes being wiped upwards. However, the difference was only three people, so Li Qimo tolerated it.

    After a pause, Zhong Yi continued: "These one hundred marines were detained in Zhejiang No. 2 Prison for a total of two days!"

    Commodus couldn¡¯t help but retorted: ¡°Your Excellency, the one hundred marines were detained by your side this afternoon, so we only have half a day to spare.¡±

    Zhong Yi said: "Minister Commodus, it seems that you have misunderstood the calculation of the detention time limit. Our detention time limit in China is not calculated in hours, but in days, unlike in the United States. The detention time limit of one hundred British Marines in our custody is  Yesterday, the current time is the early morning of October 21, so it is calculated as two days."
