Hello, Mr. Major General - Chapter 1145

Chapter 1145 Sudden Unres

The Vice President of India was taken aback for a moment. “You’re going to the police station? But… this is not part of our schedule…”

He seemed to be complaining about Gu Nianzhi disregarding protocol.

Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, “…But, our ambassador was in a car accident, and that was not part of the itinerary either… The Japanese Prime Minister’s sudden visit to India was not part of the itinerary that we agreed upon as well…”

“Are you blaming us for welcoming the Japanese Prime Minister?” The Vice President of India changed his expression. “How could you try to interfere with our country’s internal affairs?!”

“We have no intention of interfering in your country’s internal affairs, I’m just reasoning,” Gu Nianzhi said calmly. Wanting to see Speaker Long’s reaction, she quickly glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

Speaker Long’s expression did not change at all, and he continued to look at the vice president with a smile.

Gu Nianzhi was relieved.

All was well as long as Speaker Long didn’t think she had done something wrong.

She continued, saying, “…Should we take out the itinerary agreed upon by both parties and compare it? How many things have you done that weren’t in the itinerary?”

Seeing that the Indian Vice President’s face was becoming more and more sour, Gu Nianzhi withdrew the request and stopped mentioning the comparison of the itineraries. After changing the topic, she continued and said, “And we are not being unreasonable. Even if the Japanese Prime Minister didn’t visit India, we still must get to the bottom of the car accident and seek justice for our embassy staff. They represent our country, and our country will not let them suffer grievances.”

Speaker Long nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, “This is lawyer Gu from the upper house of our parliament. What she said is what I mean.”

Since Speaker Long said so himself, the Vice President of India could not refuse.

He frowned and said, “You all, please wait a moment, and I’ll arrange today’s itinerary.” Then, he quickly took out his cell phone and walked aside to call the police station and asked them to arrange someone to receive Speaker Long and his people.

…

When they arrived at the police station that handled the traffic accident involving the Huaxia Empire’s Embassy in New Delhi, President Gu Nianzhi and Speaker Long were invited to sit down in the police station’s conference room.

Gu Nianzhi said, “…The police station here is pretty good.”

The entire capital was fifty years behind the entirety of the Huaxia Empire, but the police station was probably only twenty years behind.

Speaker Long nodded. “It’s okay. There is no harm without comparison.”

Gu Nianzhi was dumbfounded. “…”

Speaker Long had such a sharp tongue!

Seeing Gu Nianzhi’s eyes widen in surprise, Speaker Long smiled and blinked at her. “What’s the matter? Not used to it?”

Gu Nianzhi shook her head quickly. “No, no! I like this side of you!”

She liked people with sharp tongues.

Not long after, the vice president walked in with the chief of police and a few policemen.

Gu Nianzhi stood up and nodded at them.

Speaker Long sat still and stretched out his hand. “Sit.”

He acted just like he was in his own country. Gu Nianzhi secretly gave Speaker Long a thumbs up.

The Vice President of India smiled awkwardly and sat next to Speaker Long.

The chief of police and the other officers both stood respectfully and said sincerely, “Dear distinguished guest, we are already investigating this matter, but you are also at fault…”

Gu Nianzhi interrupted him and smiled as she took out the police report. “We are also at fault? How so?”

“Please don’t take advantage of the fact that your people were in the embassy car, so you have diplomatic immunity and can violate traffic laws at will!” an Indian policeman said solemnly without paying any attention to Gu Nianzhi.

In reality, the status of women was quite low in Indian society.

Although there were also women in India that were high-ranking officials, these were extremely special cases. They were basically promoted as a facade to please Western feminists.

The reality that the overall status of women was low couldn’t be concealed.

Gu Nianzhi knew this, so she didn’t get angry. She countered the man calmly, saying, “Breaching traffic laws? Which traffic law did they violate? Don’t accuse us of taking advantage of diplomatic immunity just because our car is an embassy car and rashly take the side of the other party.”

“…Which one?” The police officer was stunned, and as if he had just seen Gu Nianzhi, asked, “Isn’t it written down there? Are you illiterate?”

Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. “It’s because I can read that I can’t understand your logic.”

Gu Nianzhi looked through the accident handling report. “Look at this one. Our car was driving straight on a one-way road and was hit by another car in reverse. How could we have violated the right of way? The car going straight has the right of way, and other cars have to make way. Are your country’s traffic laws different?”

The Indian police were silent.

“…A straight one-way road?” the other party countered, feeling a little flustered.

“Yes. Are your country’s paths one-way or two-way? You don’t know by heart?” Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but mock him, saying, “Are you a traffic policeman? How did you become a traffic policeman when you’re so unqualified?”

“Also, where did the vehicle that caused the accident escape to? Don’t you care that the license plate is false? Not to mention that the injured person, in this case, is our ambassador. Even if it were just an ordinary citizen, we would not let this go!”

“But, your car was speeding!” Seeing that the situation wasn’t in their favor, the other policeman helped speak up for the former policeman.

“Speeding? Where is the evidence?” Gu Nianzhi smiled. “Is there a speedometer that recorded it? Is there a camera?”

The Indian police glanced at each other, and a trace of panic flashed in their eyes.

Gu Nianzhi’s heart lifted. “Is there really a camera? Or is there a speedometer recording?”

“…Don’t be aggressive. We are saving you people the public humiliation!” the chief of police suddenly said sternly, trying to diffuse the matter.

Gu Nianzhi’s smile fell, and she felt more and more ill at ease.

If even the ambassador of a country suffered grievances here, who knew what other skeletons they had in the closet?

India was very unfriendly to the Huaxia Empire…

In that case, she didn’t have to be polite to them.

“What do you mean? Do you have camera surveillance that captured the car accident? That would be great. I will hand it in right away and use it as evidence in court.” Gu Nianzhi closed the accident handling report and said calmly, “We won’t bother reasoning with you anymore, and we will see each other in court to speak.”

After that, she followed by saying, “If the Indian courts aren’t reasonable, we will go to the international courts to speak. Slandering other ambassadors is worthy of an international dispute.

Speaker Long interjected appropriately, saying, “If you really slander us, then we will sever diplomatic ties. Our people cannot be humiliated in your country for nothing.”

Upon hearing that there would be a lawsuit, the Indian police could no longer remain calm.

The chief of police wiped his sweat with his hand and stammered, “Calm down! Calm down! It’s just a simple traffic accident. Does it need to go to court and evolve into an international dispute?”

He stared at his vice president blankly. “Please help us say something…”

The vice president’s eyelids twitched. “What can I say for you?! If even a traffic accident can’t be handled well, how did you become the chief of this police station in the first place?!”

The tables had turned, and the Indian police really couldn’t handle it.

After remaining silent for a while, he knew that he couldn’t afford to undermine the diplomatic relation between the two countries.

The chief of police finally said, “Let’s start investigating again, and the two of you, please calm down. The result will be satisfactory for both of you.”

“Wrong.” Gu Nianzhi shook her finger. “You have to act according to the law. If it is our fault, we will definitely not cover it up and will take them back to China to be tried. But if it is the other party’s fault, please issue a warrant to punish the culprit severely. If not, we’ll see you in court.”

“Yes, yes! We will issue a warrant right away!” The chief of the police station was moved by Gu Nianzhi, and he was led by the nose without knowing it.

The vice president of India was furious, but he still had to keep smiling!

He glared at the police angrily. “What are you all still standing there for instead of handling the case, huh?!”

By the time Speaker Long and Gu Nianzhi came out of the police station, the police had already issued the warrants for tracing the vehicle in question.

Although the Indians did not expect to find the car, they showed their stance, so they couldn’t keep being held accountable for the issue.

Law was only a means to an end; politics was the cause.

Speaker Long sighed and said to Gu Nianzhi, “Nianzhi, you see, our national power is already strong, but we are still being targeted and receive a lot of unfair treatment abroad.”

“…They haven’t wrapped their heads around it yet.” Gu Nianzhi quietly glanced around. “As long as we don’t have the mentality of ‘to lose is to gain an advantage,’ their attitudes will change.”

To put it simply, their actions must be based on reason.

Talking about morality and courtesy with foreigners was like playing the piano for a cow.

People were willing to say anything to defend their faith and couldn’t care less about reason.

When you are reasonable, you have to give in. Not only will the other party not yield an inch, but even the onlookers will think you are actually irrational…

The perception in Western countries was still that the strong ate the weak.

After the two of them finished speaking, the Indian vice president asked with a dry smile, “Do you two want to continue the visit? Today, according to the itinerary, we are going to the largest mall in New Delhi.”

This mall was the pride of New Delhi, and the Vice President of India felt that he could finally gloat.

Speaker Long nodded. “There is still some time, so let’s check it out.”

The group got in the car and went to the largest shopping mall in New Delhi.

…

After getting out of the car, Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes to gaze at the largest shopping mall in New Delhi and curled her lips.

It was a typical western building yet again, just like the shopping malls that could be seen anywhere in the United States.

Next to this shopping center was a tall building with a huge ‘XX Bank’ sign hung on it.

The Vice President of India happily pointed to the shopping mall and said, “This is our number one shopping mall in New Delhi. Would you like to go shopping?”

As soon as his voice fell, countless ordinary-dressed, dark-faced Indians suddenly rushed out from all directions, and everyone was caught off guard.

The crowd suddenly filled the open space in front of the shopping center, and it looked like there were hundreds or even thousands of people.

“What’s the matter?” The security personnel quickly surrounded Speaker Long and the others.

Gu Nianzhi held Speaker Long’s arm tightly. Her eyes surveyed the crowd, and she constantly changed her position, trying not to stay in the same place for more than a minute.
