Chapter 628: A Completely Different Attitude
When Cornett's bloody head was exposed to the ambassadors of various countries, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly dropped to freezing point. Panic spread rapidly like a plague, and the ambassadors' already tense nerves completely collapsed at this moment.
François Dubois, the French ambassador, covered his mouth, his eyes widened in horror, his voice almost trembling to the point of losing his voice: "This... This is simply... horrible! We are negotiating, how could they do such a thing?"
U.S. Ambassador Johnson's face turned pale, he clenched his fists in anger, and loudly denounced: "This is a blatant violation of international law and international order! We must expose China's atrocities to the world and make them pay for it!"
Hans von Seeckt, the ambassador of the Bird Empire, also looked shocked. Although he had acted relaxed before, he could not hide his fear at this moment: "We have never seen such crazy behavior. Is China declaring war on the whole world?"
Charles Wilson, the British Empire ambassador, tried to remain calm. He knew that panicking at the moment would not help, so he tried to stabilize everyone's emotions: "Everyone, we must calm down. Although this incident is shocking, we cannot lose our composure because of it. We need to quickly discuss a countermeasure to deal with the next situation."
Italian Ambassador Marco Imperato and Russian Ambassador Nicholas both nodded in agreement. They understood that panic at this moment would only make the situation more chaotic, and they must unite to face this crisis together.
The Polish ambassador, Władysław Rozławski, frowned, feeling that this matter was of great importance. He turned to Charles Wilson and said in a low voice: "Mr. Wilson, I think we should contact our respective governments immediately and report the situation here truthfully. At the same time, we need to keep in close contact and discuss response strategies together."
Ambassadors from various countries expressed their agreement, realizing that facing such a serious crisis, fighting alone is no longer a solution. Only by uniting together can we overcome this difficulty.
In the conference room, when the panic reached its peak, several Chinese soldiers at the door suddenly shouted loudly. Their voices were like cold hammers, instantly shattering the panic and clamor in the hearts of the ambassadors.
"Quiet! Shut up!" A burly soldier walked in with heavy steps. He had a cold look in his eyes and a rifle in his hand, pointing the muzzle mercilessly at the panicked ambassadors.
Under the stern gaze of the soldiers, the ambassadors of various countries came to their senses one after another, realizing that their loss of control just now might bring more serious consequences to themselves. U.S. Ambassador Johnson became the "outsider" in the eyes of the soldiers because of his previous roar.
A soldier strode up to Johnson, raised the butt of his rifle mercilessly, and hit Johnson's shoulder hard. The force was so great that Johnson staggered back, and a tearing pain came from his right shoulder, making him cry out in pain.
Seeing this, the other ambassadors lowered their heads and dared not make any more noise. They knew that these Chinese soldiers would not hesitate because of their identities, and only by keeping silent could they avoid more serious consequences.
Three minutes later, the door of the conference room was slowly pushed open, and Su Zhengyang's figure came into view. Following closely behind him was Fu Jiang, both of them walked steadily, with unquestionable majesty on their faces.
As soon as Johnson saw Su Zhengyang appear, he immediately stood up, his eyes wide open, his voice trembling with anger: "Mr. Su Zhengyang, your behavior is simply outrageous! You killed Ambassador Connet and put his head in front of us so openly. This is a great threat and humiliation to all our countries! And your country's soldiers are even more barbaric and unreasonable. They just injured me. This is a great disrespect to our diplomats!"
As soon as Johnson finished speaking, ambassadors from other countries stood up and expressed their dissatisfaction and condemnation of Su Zhengyang's behavior. The conference room was filled with noisy discussions, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
However, Su Zhengyang seemed to be standing aside. His face was calm and his eyes were cold. He swept his gaze over the ambassadors present one by one. After their voices gradually died down, he slowly spoke: "Ambassador Johnson, and all the ambassadors present, my Su Zhengyang's style and methods of doing things have always been like this. What, are you questioning my way of doing things?"
He paused, and stabbed Johnson with a dagger-like gaze: "As for Ambassador Cornett's death, it was his own fault. He threatened and yelled in front of me. This clown-like idiot deserved to die!"
Su Zhengyang's words made the ambassadors present look at each other in bewilderment. They did not expect Su Zhengyang to respond so directly. Johnson was so angry that his face turned red. He loudly retorted: "Mr. Su Zhengyang, you are quibbling! Ambassador Connet just expressed his opinion. How can you brutally kill him for this?"
Su Zhengyang smiled coldly: "Quibbling? No, I'm telling the truth. I never hesitate to use my methods against those who dare to provoke our country. As for you, Ambassador Johnson, your words and attitude just now also make me very dissatisfied. If you need, I can let my soldiers help you 'loosen your bones' and treat your injuries."
Su Zhengyang's words froze Johnson's face, and he felt the cold breath emanating from Su Zhengyang. Ambassadors from other countries also felt Su Zhengyang's strength and majesty.
The conference room fell silent again, but this time the silence was filled with awe and fear of Su Zhengyang.
Following Su Zhengyang’s strong statement, an indescribable fear surged in the hearts of ambassadors from various countries.
Although they had been under house arrest before, Su Zhengyang's attitude at the negotiation table was relatively kind and polite, and he gave them a certain amount of respect and patience.
However, Su Zhengyang at this moment was completely different from before. He was sharp and his icy eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
British Ambassador Charles Wilson was feeling uneasy. He recalled the previous negotiations with Su Zhengyang. Although the process was tortuous, it was generally harmonious. At this moment, Su Zhengyang seemed to be a different person. His strength and determination made people dare not even think of resisting. Charles could not help but begin to doubt whether the next negotiations could proceed smoothly and whether their opinions and positions could still be respected and adopted.
French Ambassador François Dubois felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet. She had never thought that she would face such great danger in international negotiations. The fear in her heart came not only from Su Zhengyang's threat, but also from her worry about this unknown situation. She began to consider whether she should end the negotiations early to avoid falling into a greater crisis.
Ambassadors from other countries also had their own concerns. They all knew that this negotiation was no longer a simple exchange of interests and clash of opinions, but involved their dignity and safety. They began to worry about their own safety, and at the same time felt confused and helpless about the upcoming negotiations.
Su Zhengyang took in the expressions and looks of the ambassadors from various countries. Their fear, anxiety, and even a hint of confusion were all clearly reflected in his eyes. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
This was exactly the effect he wanted. By showing his strength and determination, he successfully made the ambassadors feel the pressure, which also allowed him to take full control of the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.
