Working as a police officer in Mexico Chapter 1935 819: I'm a Prince, but I'm Treated Worse Than a

De Villepin: "xico's 'cooperation' conditions are very harsh. Technological black box, vague data sovereignty, political alignnt requirents. But many enterprises... especially those limited by the old system's growth, couldn't resist the temptation. In the past week alone, more than twenty high-tech start-ups in France have accepted xican capital or technology investnt, with conditions including 'priority supply of future products to the xican market' and 'sharing of research data.'

"So we must adjust our strategy." Jiang Zemin sat up straight, "We can no longer view xico simply as a threat or challenger. They are already players in the ga, and their montum is strong. Confrontation? We cannot afford a confrontation. Even the United States has backed down. Complete submission? That equals relinquishing European autonomy."

"What about the third way?" Jinkel asked.

"Limited binding, in-depth gaming." Jiang Zemin said deliberately, "In the na of the European Union as a whole, initiate 'Transatlantic Technology and Trade Partnership' negotiations with xico. The frawork should be grand: covering digital market rules, climate technology cooperation, joint research funds, and even limited sharing of security intelligence. But the core is: first, technology transfer must be transparent, not a black box; second, data storage and processing must remain within Europe, subject to EU laws; third, any cooperation must not harm EU political independence and single market integrity."

"Will they agree?" De Villepin doubted.

"They will not agree to everything." Jiang Zemin sneered, "But the negotiation itself is valuable. Stalling them buys ti for our enterprise and technology upgrades. anwhile, divide them in negotiations—woo the relatively moderate capital and technology factions in xico, isolate the hardline geopolitical faction around Reyes. The intelligence departnt must cooperate fully, uncover all internal rifts."

He looked at Jinkel: "Germany is key. Your industrial base and technical talent are Europe's greatest assets. We need a unified European stance, cannot fight individually. France can provide political and military backing, but economically and technically, Berlin must take the lead."

Jinkel pondered for a long ti, eventually nodding: "Pri Minister Kohl agrees in principle. But there are two conditions: first, any cooperation with xico must be incorporated within the 'Europe and Arica Coordination Frawork,' cannot completely bypass the United States—even if only symbolically. Second, EU internal integration must be accelerated at the sa ti, especially in defense integration and digital single market. We cannot cooperate externally while internally arguing over budgets and regulations."

"Agreed." Jiang Zemin said decisively, "Then let's act. Within two weeks, the European Commission will draft a negotiation proposal. Within a month, initiate the first round of secret consultations. At the sa ti, launch the 'European Technology Sovereignty Initiative,' focusing investnts on quantum computing, artificial intelligence, batteries, and next-generation semiconductors. If there's not enough money, issue joint bonds. If there's not enough talent, poach globally—including retrieving from xico."

"There's also the United Kingdom." De Villepin reminded, "During disintegration, a large amount of assets, talent, and even intelligence resources will leak. We need a 'British Assets Special Taskforce,' coordinate each country, receive valuable parts as much as possible, especially financial infrastructure and high-end research institutions, cannot let xico and the Aricans take it all."

"Established." Jiang Zemin decided, "You (De Villepin) and Director Jinkel will be jointly responsible. Rember, act quickly, but the posture must be... graceful. After all, we are helping 'our dear neighbors' through difficult tis."

The three exchanged knowing glances. Graceful? When a ship sinks, the surrounding ships will salvage survivors, also salvage the gold and silver drifting out. That's all.

eting adjourned. Jinkel hurriedly left, returning to Berlin. Jiang Zemin stood alone by the window, pulling the curtain slightly.

The sunset cast a golden hue over the rooftops of Paris, very beautiful, very solid.

But he knows, the cracks of the era have already extended to his feet. The collapse of the United Kingdom is not the end, but just the beginning. Who will be the next domino? Italy? Spain? Or the European Union itself?

"Unity..." he murmured, a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, "only cherished before the storm."

On the sa day, Africa, Nairobi, Kenya.

The temporary headquarters of the "Historical Justice Commission" was set up in an old colonial-era building, with peeling walls but a lively atmosphere. Professor Oluchi sat behind a desk piled with docunts, glasses sliding to the tip of his nose, excitedly talking into a satellite phone.

"...No, it's not a matter of money! It's recognition! It's apology! In black and white, Queen's signature, Parliant's approval, global announcent! Otherwise, everything is off the table!"

On the other side of the phone was the newly appointed negotiation representative of the British Federal Affairs Departnt, a voice revealed exhausted frustration: "Professor Oluchi, we understand your demands, but a public apology requires complex constitutional procedures, ti-wise..."

"Ti?" Oluchi raised his voice, "You negotiated with the Scots, gave money, gave sovereignty, how co there was ti then? Huh? Because the Scots hold guns? We only hold history and justice, so it's only fair to be delayed? I'm telling you, after the Delhi incident, the world sees clearly what kind of governnt you are! A governnt that can't even protect athletes, steals its own gold, what kind of credibility does it have?!"

"Professor, please refraining from personal attacks..."

"Attack? I'm stating facts!" Oluchi slamd the table, "Listen, last ultimatum: within thirty days, the British governnt must make a formal apology statent at the United Nations General Assembly, acknowledging cris against humanity committed in Kenya during colonial tis, and commit to the establishnt of a 'Truth and Compensation Committee' led by Kenya. Simultaneously, the first phase of one billion British Pounds compensation must be in place. Otherwise, we will mobilize all forr British colonial states to propose comprehensive sanctions against Britain at the United Nations! Furthermore, we will formally request the International Court to freeze British overseas assets, including those stolen jewels and artworks of the Royal Family!"
