【1371 Jamrali】
"Okay, Your Majesty, I will talk to him again soon. Please rest assured, Your Majesty." Yamlali said to Mohammed Yakub Khan.
Mohamed Yakub Khan raised his hand, "No, you go and invite the special envoy of China to me, I will talk to him personally!"
Yamlali cursed in his heart, "You didn't say it just now. I've analyzed the situation clearly for you. You have to talk about it yourself?" But he could only say, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Yamlali came to the Chinese Embassy and came to invite Zhang Haobo, which surprised Zhang Haobo, the Chinese Ambassador to Afghanistan, Gao Yitong and others. He did not expect that Mohammed Yakub Khan's attitude changed so quickly.
You should know that although Yamrali is a minister, it is equivalent to being the prime minister from another country. He asked a person of the prime minister to come and invite him in person. He just left Zhang Haobo and ran back shortly after he left. This is enough to show that Mohammed Yakub Khan's attitude has changed.
Zhang Haobo went out to greet him politely and asked knowingly: "Minister Yamlali, are you back so soon? Is there anything urgent?"
Yam Lali was not polite and replied directly: "Our khan, please go once."
As he said that, Yamlali deliberately showed goodwill and approached Zhang Haobo and whispered: "Mohamed Yakub Khan is moved, but he still has some concerns. I think he is worried that the strength of China will not be able to compete with the British. In addition, I don't know if the Emperor of China is begging to send troops directly to Afghanistan, and to supply some of our urgently needed food and grass."
Zhang Haobo nodded and smiled at Yamlali, "Thank you for your reminder, I remember all your contributions to China."
When Yamlali heard Zhang Haobo say this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "It should be, it should be, and I am willing to serve your country and your sir."
Zhang Haobo patted Yamlali's shoulder calmly and said softly: "Okay."
Yamlali looked at Zhang Haobo with joy. After all, the elderly were just a flash of joy, but he knew that in just a few short words, he had reached a certain "tactic understanding" with Zhang Haobo and China.
Zhang Haobo immediately followed Yamlali to meet Mohammed Yakub Khan.
At this time, the ignorant people will not feel that there is any problem, because they don’t know anything, they only know to work hard, and people like Zhang Haobo who have already participated in high-level secrets are different.
Zhang Haobo was an "old man" who joined the Statistics Bureau in 1873. The promotion rate of his position was medium, not particularly fast, because if it was particularly fast, he could even be at the same level as the meritorious female spy of China, Daliyama Lianjinna. Daliyama Lianjinna is the only colonel agent in China!
Although Vladimir Granath is also a colonel agent, after all, he has the identity of Emperor Hua's quasi-brother-in-law, and there is no way to compare himself with Dali Yama Rianjinna in terms of personal prestige.
Zhang Haobo knew very well how great his responsibility was this time, and how great the Afghan problem this time had on Emperor Hua’s overall strategy.
Mohammed Yakubkhan looked haggard. He was indeed not a capable person, but just a dying instinct. He believed that the fate of surrendering to China would not be good, and this is the reason why he was reluctant to contact China for a long time.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Zhang Haobo asked when he saw that Mohammed Yakub Khan had not spoken for a long time.
Seeing that Mohammed Yakub Khan still did not respond, Yamlali said, "Your Majesty?"
"Thank you, I'm fine." Mohammed Yakubkhan seemed to be in a daze and came back to his senses at this time. "Sir, please sit down."
Mohammed Yakub Khan hated Chinese people from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't like British people, but he hated Chinese people more than British people.
Zhang Haobo nodded, and was not polite, and sat down directly. A small place like Afghanistan is not as big as a region in China. His actual status is not inferior to that of Mohammed Yakub Khan, so it is natural to sit down, and he is not polite.
After Zhang Haobo sat down, he told Emperor Hua about the bottom line, which had already made a sound. The conditions offered by Emperor Hua were exactly the same as those offered by the British to Abdur Rahman Khan.
"If that's the case, then why don't I surrender directly to the British? Isn't it the same?" said Mohammed Yakub Khan.
"How could it be the same? China has never killed Afghans, and you have fought with the British for more than a year and have died millions! Do Afghans not know about hatred?" Zhang Haobo smiled indifferently, "If you really have the intention to surrender to the British, I think at least half of your subordinates will not agree, right?"
Mohammed Yakub Khan was stunned. Although Zhang Haobo's Afghan dialect was not particularly fluent, the meaning was still quite clear.
Zhang Haobo has actually saved face for Mohammed Yakub Khan. He originally wanted to say that even if you want to surrender to the British now, it seems that it is not your turn. You can only surrender to Abdur Rahman Khan. You will have nothing in Afghanistan and even your life will be unsuccessful.
"Okay, can I ask the envoy two questions now?" The slim gaze under the turban of Mohammed Yakub Khan was so terrifying.
Zhang Haobo said calmly: "Please say it."
"1. Do you China have the strength to compete with the United Kingdom? 2. Will you send troops directly to help us?" Mohammed Yakub Khan asked directly.
"First of all, do we have the strength to fight against the British? You can ask the Russians who the British dare not deal with. Moreover, the Russians have been driven out of Central Asia by us, and the Chinese have recovered the entire Central Asia and Siberia from Tsarist Russia! Secondly, will we send troops directly? It seems that it is not your turn to ask. Even if you are just a colony of China, there is no reason for colonies to interfere with the suzerain states in the world? If China wants to help Afghanistan, it will definitely ensure that Afghanistan will not fall into the hands of the British. I don't think you have to doubt this? Otherwise, how can we talk about helping Afghanistan?" Zhang Haobo's words were not polite. Since Mohammed Yakub Khan could take the initiative to find him, he had already gained an absolute advantage.
Moreover, Zhang Haobo is a senior agent of the Bureau of Statistics, a soldier, not a professional diplomat, and will not talk about diplomatic rhetoric, otherwise he would not have to come and just let the Chinese ambassador to Afghanistan come.
Mohammed Yakub Khan was surprised by the attitude of the Chinese envoy towards him and glanced at Yamlali.
Yamlali hurriedly said, "This is how the envoy usually speaks. Your Majesty doesn't need to care too much. I think the envoy is right. If we are willing to join China, we should show more sincerity."
Mohammed Yakub Khan was very dissatisfied with Yam Lali's words. He was silent for more than ten minutes. Zhang Haobo stopped talking and did not urge Mohammed Yakub Khan.
Zhang Haobo did not feel that Mohammed Yakub Khan was dull. No one could make a decision immediately when encountering such a big thing. He felt that Mohammed Yakub Khan seemed to be about to collapse, or in other words, Mohammed Yakub Khan did not seem to be in a desperate situation of collapse.
"So, Mr. Envoy, please allow me to think for a week." Mohammed Yakub Khan said.
Zhang Haobo smiled and said, "How long do you think about it, but what I want to remind you is that my every move in Kandahar and every decision you make, our Emperor of China can learn at the first time that our country has the world's first-class technology, and even the British do not have this kind of communication ability."
The muscles on Mohammed Yakubkhan's face twitched, and he stared at him and said, "Three days, please let me think about it for three days."
"Okay." Zhang Haobo stood up, "waiting for good news from His Majesty."
Mohammed Yakub Khan stood up and said to Yamlali: "Send the envoy."
Yamlali bowed and said, "Okay, your Majesty."
Zhang Haobo left Mohammed Yakub Khan's temporary residence and asked Yamrali around him, "What do you think of his attitude?"
