Chapter 789 A good show (Third update, please subscribe)
I have to say that in terms of the technique of drawing big cakes, the cakes painted by Li Yian can be said to be big and round. The level directly made many American officials look elated.
Even after the official meeting ended and he returned to the hotel, Dean still said excitedly.
"Mr. President, Ike really should come to Chang'an. He must understand one thing. In Asia, apart from Nanyang, the United States has strategic value, and only Nanyang has the ability to support it. The situation in Asia. "
Truman agreed with Dean's judgment. Although he agreed, he shook his head and said.
"Ike is Ike, he will make his own judgment."
While shaking his head, Truman continued.
"If Ike understands, he should know that Nanyang is not only the only industrialized country in Asia, but will also be the most powerful assistant and helper of the United States in Asia. Even to a certain extent, Nanyang He has the potential to be a helper, especially when Li dominates everything here."
The reason why Truman said this is because he is very aware of Nanyang's advantages, and Li Yian's sole control allows them to do so. In many matters, we will respond more quickly and we will be more attentive in maintaining the situation in Southeast Asia.
It can even be said that they are more attentive than the United States because they face threats directly. In contrast, even though the Philippines is a biological son of the United States, the elected officials of the Manila authorities simply cannot bear the heavy responsibility, and the same is true for South Korea.
As for Japan, although it has intentions, it is powerless!
Too poor!
Just as George Kennan said, those Asian countries have no value to the United States and can be thrown to Soviet Russia if necessary.
Of course, at that time, he was referring to Japan, because Japan was the only industrial and military center in Asia before World War II. George Kennan believed that those countries were a burden to the Soviet Union.
But what now?
Japan is still poor and backward, and there is little sign of recovery.
"George Kennan's judgment was wrong!"
Suddenly, Truman said without looking back.
"Judgment about Asia."
"Indeed, Mr. President, if George Kennan also comes to Nanyang,"
Dean agreed.
"It's a pity that he couldn't come with us."
In Washington, George Kennan played an extremely special role. In 1947, the "Cold War" between the United States and the Soviet Union was imminent. . But most Americans, including President Truman, not only did not understand the Soviet Union as an opponent, they were also ignorant about what kind of global strategy the United States should formulate.
It was also at this time that George Kennan, who had determined the U.S. Cold War policy with an 8,000-word telegram a year ago, entered the decision-making circle in Washington and had been working at the Embassy in the Soviet Union for nearly For 10 years, he could be said to be the number one "Soviet expert" in the United States. It was he who developed America's global strategy, including in Asia.
“Once upon a time, we thought that only Japan was the most valuable in Asia. But now it has been five or six years, but Japan is still full of poverty. Japan is a burden to the United States, and other Asian countries. The same as the country..."
Truman said as he paced.
"And what about Nanyang? Nanyang is undergoing earth-shaking changes almost every day. Japan is far from being able to compare with here. Nanyang has become an existence that is not inferior to European countries in terms of industry and military."
In this case, it couldn’t be clearer who should be chosen.
So, Nanyang is the only choice for the United States!
After making this judgment, Truman walked to the window and stared out at Chang'an through the window. Chang'an in the twilight looked somewhat similar to New York's Good Luck. In front of him, there was a sea of lights and A city drenched in neon red dots.
At night, the outlines of tall buildings appear even steeper under the lights. Countless neon lights are jumping in the night sky.
In the distance, the traffic on the street is weaving, and the car lights draw streams of light in the darkness, complementing the neon lights, as if the entire city is flowing.
Prosperous cities, developed industries, modern technology...all proved to Truman that Nanyang is the most strategically valuable ally of the United States in Asia.
“With Nanyang here, we can put more power into Europe!”
“But Mr. President, the premise is that we must ensure one thing, what we have seen is the most real side.”
Dean said promptly.
“After all, during World War II, many officials and reporters in Soviet Russia firmly believed that Soviet Russia would be the best friend of the United States.” It has to be said that when it comes to diplomatic work, Soviet Union Russia is still very good at making almost all officials and reporters stationed in the Soviet Union come to their side, making them believe how friendly Soviet Russia is to the United States, and even highly respects the American political system, and even talks about the future. Soviet Russia will also use the same method. Of course, the final result is well known. Even before Germany surrendered, the great father of all peoples smiled and started asking for his reward, and then looked like he wanted to carve up the world with the United States.
After learning a lesson, in Washington... only a few people have learned the lesson. Most of the time, in the eyes of those politicians, there is always only profit and no vision. , What lessons have been learned? There has never been one. This is the biggest characteristic of speculative politics.
“Then let’s see how Nanyang will arrange the next trip!”
There is no arrangement at all!
This time it was the United States' turn to be confused.
“You can visit as you like!”
On the way to school, Li Yian said.
"Harry, except for this school and the family dinner held at the manor, the rest of the trip is all about you."
Although there was not much explanation, Harry knew that this was an old friend who wanted him to see the real side of Nanyang.
"Li, why did we go to this school?"
Faced with Truman's question, Li Yian did not answer, just looked out the car window and said.
“We’re here.”
The motorcade stopped in front of a primary school. There was no principal or other officials waiting outside the closed school gate. Even the guard said nothing when he saw the motorcade. Somewhat confused.
After the school gate opened, Li Yian walked into the school with Truman and dozens of officials and reporters. At this time, the teachers were in class. As soon as they entered the teaching building, the first thing they saw was a hall with hanging hangings on the walls. Some photos and even an American flag.
"This is..."
Truman walked over quickly, and the accompanying officials and reporters also looked at the photos on the wall.
“This school was one of the earliest schools built after the recovery of Chang’an, which was called Sandakan. At that time, the US Air Force was nearby. When the school was built, the US Air Force provided a lot of help... ..."
Li Yian took the initiative to act as a commentator and introduced the history of this school to them.
"...At that time, Captain Frank discovered that many children were malnourished, so he not only brought canned food, but also milk powder. Because of this, the children here finally drank milk..."
< br>In the photo, the children drinking milk from US military cups all have bright smiles on their faces, and the American soldiers beside them are also smiling.
Innocent child, simple soldier.
Such a picture can definitely poke into the hearts of Americans! What do Americans see?
It’s so touching!
In another world, the reason why white leftists are easily impressed is because of the innocent smiles of children.
I don’t know how many people like to take advantage of their innocence, just like the body of a refugee baby on the beach, which makes all the white leftists break their defenses and bring in refugees at all costs. Of course, if the refugees are allowed They absolutely do not approve of living in their homes. This is Bai Zuo, this is the Holy Mother, and generally speaking, it is generosity.
In fact, for the most part, this is a tradition. Today’s Americans, at least a considerable part of the United States, do the same. They don’t mind aiding foreign countries, such as milk powder and grain. The United States has more of these supplies. , it is natural for foreign countries to help people in need. This can satisfy their holy hearts, make them proud, and of course, the most important thing is that it does not require them to pay any money.
So, what Nanyang needs is to take advantage of the Americans’ naivety and let them continue to pay for milk powder.
What does it mean to take advantage of the innocence of Americans? No, this is called tackling key problems!
"...Later, with the help of the United Nations Relief Agency and American aid, the children in Nanyang finally drank milk..."
Of course you have to praise someone else's things, and this is why The reason for bringing Truman here - is to tell them, you see, all your aid is spent on the children.
What next?
Of course there is a performance to be arranged. It is not a performance, but a school choir singing the national anthems of the two countries. While the children were singing the songs, Li Yian suddenly had an idea - he should learn from Russia People, please take advantage of this moment to ask the children to bring a U.S. national emblem. When the time comes, it will not be hung in the ambassador’s office, but in the Oval Office.
