Chapter 1802 Happy New Year and Best Wishes for Prosperity!

Some people actually believed this story at that time, but people always have a lucky mentality. I always feel that Benjamin and his family are in Xiaobawang, so even if there is any impact, they can control it...

This is the same as those stock speculators.

In simple terms, stock speculation is a game of passing the parcel. People who bought stocks early slowly pass the stocks in their hands to those who bought them in the middle and late stages. When the latter people buy again, the early buyers will slowly withdraw.

But some people keep falling in line. Why? Because they always think that there will definitely be another fool to take over!

At that time, the attitude of Xiaobawang’s senior management was similar to this. They didn’t know what the ‘stock market’ was, so they plunged into it, and they were very confident that they could get out before bad luck!

But in fact, Dark Trident is the real crocodile! He is just waiting to cut the leeks!

How could he let it go?

So when Benjamin was killing people with the Dark Trident, the Little Overlord lost his autonomy!

"The problem now is not who is responsible!" At this time, another angry senior official spoke: "It's how to explain to other countries that the Dark Trident was lost!"

This senior official is not from the military, but from the diplomatic field.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been going crazy these days. Don't think that fighting a war is only the business of the military and logistics departments. In fact, a country needs to mobilize national power in all directions when it goes to war! Diplomacy is a very important part of it!

After all, in today's world, there is no real distance.

The United States is far from the Middle East, right? It's separated by 108,000 miles, but it's still the same.

Not to mention the Little Overlord. If they really rely on the Little Overlord, they are unlikely to gain a foothold in this land. So they especially need to deal with the external environment. It can even be said that they are highly dependent on their diplomatic achievements!

A little bit of badness will lead to very terrible consequences.

Moreover, because those bastards in the military went too far, the workload of the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs increased greatly. In addition, those who can become senior officials are basically radicals... This makes the Ministry of Foreign Affairs even more deadly. These people are talking big everywhere. They are happy, but it is hard for the diplomats!

Sometimes the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs want to rush into the offices of those senior officials with guns and shoot them!

No, are you stupid?

At this time, don't make trouble, okay? Don't know what our public opinion environment is like?

Yes, you can't see the public opinion in the Little Overlord, but we can see it! The most deadly thing is that we have to deal with those countries affected by public opinion!

In short, the series of things that the Little Overlord did did make the people feel very happy, after all, it was revenge.

But the international public opinion pressure is very high!

These bastards don't need to face those public opinion pressures. They will only let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs face those external pressures. Everything has to be handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs... There are so many people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, how can it be done?

So, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also working day and night.

In just half a month, I flew to twenty-one countries!

Let alone the intrigue, the key is that those people are protesting crazily... There are even those ignorant reporters who always ask embarrassing questions... By the way, I have to say here that with the changes in the international situation, many media originally controlled by Xiaobawang have been taken away under various names.

Xiaobawang's ability to secretly control world public opinion is itself obtained by taking advantage of the United States' world hegemony. Now that the United States' world hegemony is gone, these public opinion positions will naturally be given up. Even in the United States.

As the struggle between the Ansa Consortium and the Xiaobawang Consortium becomes more intense, many things are also changing!

So now many media have begun to bite back at Xiaobawang!

In the past, absolutely no media dared to confront Xiaobawang's Ministry of Foreign Affairs... There was no way, their bosses behind them were all Xiaobawang people.

But now it's not possible.

The senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were exhausted on this deadly diplomatic trip!

What's worse is that the war is over, maybe the military and other departments can relax, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not done, there are still a lot of things to do!

Such a half-month 21-country trip may become a normal in a short time!

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs to go to various countries to put out fires.

After all, the current international situation is not that the United States dominates the world, but that the three powers are competing for hegemony. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs to consider the attitudes of the other two powers and even seek their support... This is a big project!

They need to do a lot of work.

So now the senior officials are not only exhausted physically and mentally, but also anxious!

Several senior officials looked at each other, and then decisively passed the buck: "This is what happened, this is the situation, can't you just tell them honestly?"

"Huh?!"

The senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were almost angry.

"Can you believe this? A good artifact disappeared, do you think those countries can let it go? !!"

"This is what happened, we didn't lie." Others just acted like scoundrels.

"Okay, okay, that's how it's going to work. Then I'm resigning! I'm not doing this anymore!"

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs just gave up.

He had no choice. Although power and position were attractive, he had to live to enjoy them!

To be honest, the work of the Little Overlord Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not a very tiring job before. After all, except for a few countries, most countries' attitude towards the Little Overlord was actually okay, thanks to the Little Overlord's control of public opinion over the years.

Let the Little Overlord have a very good reputation in the international community.

As long as there is no trouble at home, the diplomats of the Little Overlord are still very comfortable abroad.

But it has not been the case in recent years.

"You are shirking responsibility!!!"

Hearing this, other senior officials were immediately dissatisfied. What attitude? Is this the attitude of doing work?

Throwing down the task at the slightest difficulty!

"Who is shirking responsibility? ! ! Do you understand! The world has changed, it is no longer like before, we are no longer a presence that everyone can respond to in the international community, your reckless behavior has caused a very huge negative impact on our entire country and the entire nation!"

The senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs finally exploded!

"I told you to be more restrained and not to engage in massacres! Did you listen? No! I told you to be gentle and not to be too tough. Other countries don't want us to fight! Did you listen? No! I told you not to talk nonsense at home. Did you listen? Still no! Why can't you understand the world situation? The United States is weak! They can't suppress the whole world at all! Our biggest backer is gone, we must be careful! But what about you? No one listened! You are still the same as before! Now the whole world doesn't like us, and even starts to hate us! What? It's only been a few decades, have you forgotten our past situation? Do you want another massacre? Fuck! All of you!"

A group of senior officials were dumbfounded when they saw the senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs speaking to them as if they had collapsed.

The psychological quality of diplomats has both common and individual aspects. The so-called commonality means that they should have a normal psychological quality and be governed by the general laws of psychological activities. The so-called personality means that a special psychological quality should be cultivated according to the characteristics of the diplomatic profession.

For diplomats, reason and emotion should be combined with cold and hot, that is, they should have calm reason and moderate emotion. They should have calm reason in observing the situation and handling cases. To be calm, the most fundamental thing is to have firm beliefs and confidence in one's own career. Without this, it is impossible to be truly calm. In addition, calmness also requires the habit of thinking about problems comprehensively. When negotiating, you should think of several plans and possible problems, so that you can be confident and calm only when you are fully prepared psychologically.

They are also at the forefront of international information, and they know the most about international changes... Well, here we are talking about the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not the diplomatic ambassadors... Because the diplomatic ambassadors of many countries are not a professional position (especially the United States)... If you look closely at their diplomatic ambassadors, you will find that many of them are actually directly appointed by the President of the United States.

There are two types of American ambassadors abroad. One is selected from professional diplomatic personnel, strictly follows the appointment process, and is not responsible to the president. The other is appointed by the president himself, and the Senate can vote to approve it, and is only responsible to the president personally. The latter accounts for about 30% of the US ambassadors stationed abroad, and is an indicator that the president specifically uses to reward them.

The so-called reward is to see how much effort they have made during the presidential election, or directly say how much money they have spent.

The most famous example is President Kennedy's father, Kennedy Sr. In 1932, Joseph Sr. helped Franklin Roosevelt win the US presidential election. From 1934 to 1935, Joseph Sr. served as Chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission. From 1936 to 1937, Joseph Sr. served as Chairman of the Maritime Commission.

Then... From 1937 to 1940, Joseph Sr. served as the US Ambassador to the United Kingdom. This guy has no diplomatic experience at all! He has never worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! But he really became the ambassador to the United Kingdom. You know, in that era, Daiying was not as lazi as it is now. It was the standard world's first superpower!

But such an important position was given to a person with no diplomatic experience at all!

There is an unwritten rule among American ambassadors abroad. Ambassadors to Western Europe, South America, the Caribbean and other regions are all awarded by the president as meritorious officials, while ambassadors sent by the government are either sent to some turbulent regions, unfriendly countries, or underdeveloped countries. In the United States, the position of ambassador is a prize with high gold content. These American ambassadors abroad not only enjoy diplomatic immunity abroad, but also can do business abroad. Because they are also businessmen. In some small countries, they can even be treated like kings. From any angle, it is a profitable business.

Pulling it back, in short, real diplomats are very sensitive to international information and changes.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs clearly felt that their diplomatic environment was deteriorating rapidly.

He proposed to the top more than once, asking for a change in the current government strategy, and they could not be as unscrupulous as before.

Because the environment does not allow it!

After all, there is no good father to support him behind the scenes.

Seeing that this pillar of diplomacy was about to give up, a group of people did not care much and tried their best to save it.

It was difficult to persuade him.

Only then did they start talking about business again.

"I know that your job is difficult now, but... even if the artifact is really lost now... we can't give you a new one."

Although this is just as nonsense as before, at least the tone and attitude are different.

Is this also a progress?

"Hey... I know that too. But the problem is that it's useless for me to believe it! Whether other countries believe it or not is the most important thing. At least I will never be able to complete the task you gave me."

The crux of the matter is here.

Xiaobawang said that the artifact was lost.

But this requires other people to believe it.

They will only think that Xiaobawang's people hid the artifact.

This is embarrassing.

"There is a way." At this time, the archaeologist who had not left suddenly interrupted.

Originally, for such a thing, this archaeologist should not be here. But... they were so happy arguing just now that they forgot his existence, so he and the intelligence agency stayed here.

Well, this is not a big deal.

The intelligence agency's people are their own people, there is nothing to say. Archaeologists... I guess they will be monitored all their lives.

Even if what they said is not too confidential, it cannot be leaked casually.

"Why are you still here?" A senior executive asked curiously.

Then another senior official asked curiously, "What's the solution?"

The others stared at him.

The senior official shrugged, "It won't hurt to listen."

The archaeologist didn't expect that he could participate in national affairs just because he had a brain storm.

So he didn't care about much and said directly, "As long as we lose, doesn't it mean that we didn't lie?"

The scene was silent.

After a long time, someone said, "Ahem, please ask him to leave and give him a confidentiality agreement."

Then the person who spoke stared at the guy who just opened his mouth to listen to the archaeologist.

The guy didn't expect the archaeologist to say that, "Okay, I was just imagining things."

Although what the crazy archaeologist said made sense.

If they lost the battle and didn't use the artifact, it would definitely mean that they didn't lie...

But...isn't the price too high?

Even if they were suspected...it was just suspicion. As long as the little bully didn't commit suicide, no one would really do anything to this country because of a magic weapon.

But if they lost to Egypt...it would be fun.

Also, what kind of person is this archaeologist? He actually wants the country to lose the war?

We need to investigate.

However, just when a group of people haven't discussed countermeasures, new information came from the front.

Tianqi... is going to lead the army in person!!!

I wish you all happiness, health, longevity, wealth and success!
