Chapter 677: You are so shameless (Third update, please subscribe)
From September to October, when the whole world’s attention was attracted by the war on the peninsula and the heroic Marshal Mai. Almost no one pays attention to another place - the Philippines.
After the "9.3 Incident" occurred in Zamboanga, the authorities in Manila, Philippines immediately made various accusations, accusing the so-called autonomous authorities of "atrocities", accusing them of purges, and even confusing right and wrong by saying "this is A long-planned murder", and also claimed that everything was carried out with the instigation of Nanyang.
Faced with the accusations, Nanyang certainly refused to admit it. Can such a thing that was made out of nothing be admitted? At the same time, Zamboanga made various accusations against the Manila authorities, accusing them of inciting chaos and colluding with the Huks, except that they were a group of Huks.
Just when they were having a big war of words, just when the Manila authorities thought that the world's attention was attracted to Manila, the shocking "Incheon Landing" suddenly blinded the eyes of all countries. , attracted everyone's attention to the peninsula, and as for the Philippines, they just made a light voice - hoping that both parties will handle the matter properly and prevent the tragedy from happening again.
In this regard, the Manila authorities are very upset.
However, they can only pay lip service to it. Without foreign attention, they themselves cannot solve the Mindanao problem.
In October, when the world's attention was slightly diverted from the peninsula, the Manila authorities once again came up with something--they wanted to send investigators to Mindanao to investigate the "racial violence" that occurred there. extinction event".
For such accusations, Mindanao's reaction was naturally extremely violent. While firmly denying it, it requested the United Nations to send investigators to Luzon to investigate the massacre caused by the Philippine military.
For a time, on both sides, you accused me and I accused you,
Whether it's true or false, I'm afraid only God knows.
And Nanyang also suffered a disaster - it was accused by Manila of being the mastermind behind it, accusing it of "using Chinese expatriates in Southeast Asia to wantonly divide other countries." Naturally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nanyang issued a fierce response, and advised them not to make unreasonable troubles,
"...Don't make unreasonable troubles, otherwise you will pay the price!"
In the Presidential Palace in Manila, facing Regarding the warning from the Nanyang Ambassador, Quirino suppressed his inner anger and said.
“Price, Mr. Ambassador, is this a warning?”
"That's right!"
As an ambassador, Kang Renjie is upright. After these two simple words, he didn't even pay attention to Quirino's angry expression.
“This is a warning. Your baseless accusations have hurt Nanyang’s feelings. What have we done? We can definitely provide military, economic and other assistance to Mindanao. For example, we can They provide warships, aircraft and weapons to help them train their troops, but do we have it?"
Of course, we must strongly deny this groundless accusation. After all, Nanyang has never done the things they said, so how can it be so bloody?
"No? Mr. Ambassador, where did their planes come from? Where did the weapons come from, and where were the operators of those weapons and the police officers trained?"
Shameless!
While Quirino was reprimanding loudly, a word came to his mind, this guy is so shameless!
“Is it a plane?”
Kang Renjie was stunned for a moment, and then said.
“If I remember correctly, most of the aircraft of the Mindanao Police Air Service Team are damaged aircraft left by the Allied Forces at the airport. Their technicians repaired them and reused them, well , the armored vehicles seem to be left behind by the US military. If you have any questions, you can discuss this issue with the US ambassador. As for training!”
At most, Nanyang helped them repair it and provided some parts. Well, it was almost the parts of the complete machine.
However, some of the airplane racks must have been left behind by the Americans. If you have the ability, go find the Americans.
Kang Renjie shrugged his shoulders and said.
“That’s just police training. We welcome police officers from any country in the world to come to Taiping for training. Police cooperation is also to fight crime together! If Manila is willing, we are very happy to work with you. Develop police cooperation and you train the police”
Shameless!
Finally, Quirino couldn't control the anger in his heart. He was furious and said directly.
"Mr. Ambassador, you must understand that the attitude of the United States is very clear - they will never allow any country to split the Philippines!"
Well, in the end, a son should still treat his father Moved out, but Kang Renjie had already been prepared for this and answered directly.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured that Nanyang has no territorial ambitions towards Mindanao."
"You have no territorial ambitions, but you are trying to split the Philippines!"
< br>
Lopez, the attorney general said bluntly. "It is with your support and help that the ambitions of the Mindanao authorities will continue to expand. Now they are seeking to secede from the Philippines. They have expelled customs officials, tax officials and other centrally dispatched officials. They are not only seeking to gain tax control of independence, even the courts... They regard the court in Zamboanga as the court of last resort! Mr. Ambassador, isn’t this a split?”
In the face of Lopez’s accusation, Kang Renjie said.
“No, no, no, it should be said that the people of Mindanao are very distrustful of you. They do not believe that those corrupt politicians will treat them fairly. What they seek is not to break away from the Philippines. , but to get rid of the constraints of corrupt politicians! As for the courts, I am sorry that since I became the ambassador to your country, I have never seen law and justice in your courts, only... well, corruption and darkness. ”
“Ambassador Kang, please watch your words!”
Quirino said angrily.
"It's not my words, Mr. President, this is what the U.S. Ambassador to your country said to an American reporter. Do you need me to quote his full text?"
When Kang Renjie mentioned the U.S. Ambassador At that time, Quirino instantly became mute. The U.S. ambassador said not only these words, but also 1.5 billion U.S. dollars in aid. According to the U.S. ambassador, less than 50 million U.S. dollars were actually used. In the Philippines, other aid is basically pocketed by officials at all levels.
Washington was very angry about this. He even threatened to suspend aid several times, but Quirino knew very well that the United States would not stop aid, so... everyone felt confident!
But the problem is that it is the United States, and the person sitting in front of him is the Nanyang Ambassador.
"Mr. Ambassador, our two countries should get along in a friendly way. As allies of the United States in Southeast Asia, we should be friendly and cooperate, instead of being like now, which causes tension between the two countries because of some regional issues."
Quirino said in a lowered stance.
“I hope you can stop supporting Mindanao.”
Although when he said these words, Quirino also knew that this was impossible, but he had to I want to say... because this is what the American father asked him to say. It should be said that Washington hopes that the Philippines can handle this matter properly.
“No, Mr. President, you haven’t figured it out yet.”
Kang Renjie said.
“We have never been supporters of Mindanao. We just...occasionally speak out. We believe that the demands of the Mindanao authorities are reasonable and appropriate.”
In When he said these words, Kang Renjie's expression looked extremely sincere, as if he was telling the other party that these words were definitely from the heart and had no selfish motives. I hope you can seriously consider it.
It was his expression that fell in Quirino's eyes, but it made him a little bit off guard. After all, in Quirino's view, the only thing this guy has shown until now is So shameless.
How could they... do this?
This is the Philippines! An independent country!
"What is reasonable or not is not up to you, Mr. Ambassador!"
Quilino said, glaring at the other party.
“This is a matter for the Philippines, and it is not up to you to decide!”
It seems that this meeting is destined to break up on bad terms again.
"Indeed, we don't want to make the decision, but... whether it is reasonable or not is not up to you!"
Kang Renjie said seriously.
Who has the final say?
No matter who has the final say, it doesn’t matter. What’s important is that Manila doesn’t really have the right to decide now.
Where does the real decision-making power lie?
It must be his father.
