Chapter 1125 The International Influence of Nanyang (Second update, please subscribe)
In May, all public opinion in Nanyang is focusing on the Asian Games.
However, what people care about is not the gold medal, but the performance of the Nanyang national team. They will use the performance of the Nanyang national team in this Asian Games to speculate on the Olympic Games two years later.
But not everyone is paying attention to the Asian Games. To a certain extent, the Asian Games is also a diplomatic venue. The accompanying officials include not only officials from their national Olympic committees, but also some informal diplomats.
For example, Princess Aditya of Iraq was part of the entourage. As soon as she came to Chang'an, she received an invitation from Princess Margaret and started harem politics in Chang'an.
Not everyone has such treatment, but for accompanying officials from other countries, they will always take the opportunity to contact Nanyang officials to obtain Nanyang's help.
After all, the Nanyang dollar is still very fragrant, especially the Nanyang government development assistance plan. I don’t know how many countries are drooling, hoping to get a share of the pie.
So, while the outside world is paying attention to the Asian Games, banquets and cocktail receptions held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other departments in Chang'an continue one after another every night.
Officials from various countries talked freely with officials from various ministries in Nanyang at the banquet and reception. They talked about the future of Asia from the Asian Games to the future of their own countries. Because they were not familiar with the relationship, there was often a dispute. A number of Nanyang diplomats stationed in other countries accompanied him, and they played the role of introducers.
Xiang Chenglin played such a role. Tonight, at the reception banquet held by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, he drank two more drinks. Of course, Chen Lichun also drank less.
This also gave Xiang Chenglin a wonderful experience.
"Like a hungry wolf..."
In the early morning, Chen Lichun pressed her body against Xiang Chenglin, with a pair of white thighs resting on him, and her smooth collarbone was stained with beads of sweat. His face looked like a ripe apple, and his breathing was slightly disordered.
After an hour, she was exhausted.
This woman, whose strong style in Saigon made countless dignitaries fear her, is now as docile as a little sheep. This was not the case before, fully demonstrating the style of a strong woman— - Galloping on horseback, completely taking the initiative.
"If this matter reaches your husband's ears, my future will be completely ruined."
Despite what he said, Xiang Chenglin's hands were not honest at all. Soft shoulders caressed.
I have to say that every man has a thief in his heart, especially for such a noble lady, men always have an obsession to conquer!
This is the daughter-in-law of the president's brother. Because the president has no wife, she has always played the role of first lady, and she... is just a small counselor!
"What? Now I'm thinking of my husband. When you lifted my skirt earlier, you weren't worried at all!"
Pushing Xiang Chenglin's chest open, Chen Lichun's eyes sparkled. Because her husband was nearly fifty, they were rarely together, but for the 35-year-old, she was in the prime of life.
"Facing you...who can control himself?"
Xiang Chenglin slapped Chen Lichun on the buttocks. The woman moaned softly and lay there like that. His body was twisting and turning:
“Don’t move, if you move again I will have to clean you up.”
Chen Lichun looked at the man’s body and said:
< br>
"You can deal with me any way you want, but you promised me to introduce me to the director of the Government Development Assistance Committee."
Fuck, is this politics?
Xiang Chenglin cursed in his heart, the guilt in his heart disappeared, and the original thought of compensation also faded. This is just a transaction.
To think about it, I am the junior counselor of the Nanyang Embassy, and where is this woman? ——"Replacing" the first lady!
If I had known earlier, I should have said harder!
But it’s not too late!
With thoughts on his mind, Xiang Chenglin stared at the woman's seductive red lips and raised the corners of his mouth:
"Then it depends on you..."
......
The world has always had its dark side, and even Nanyang is sometimes unavoidable.
The night is as quiet as water.
Xiang Chenglin did not go home directly, but sat in the car and smoked silently, recalling what happened with Chen Lichun before. At this time, what came to his mind was not women and delicate bodies. But something else.
Of course, it is not whether the relationship with Chen Lichun will involve violations of laws by public servants. Diplomats are half-intelligence officers, and it is inevitable that there will be some drama,
but they are thinking about the problem of Saigon, especially Nanyang's position in Saigon.
“Now that the United States is playing an increasing role there, what position should Nanyang take?”
Silently holding a cigarette in his mouth, Xiang Chenglin sat in the car and thought about this issue repeatedly.
This is the problem that diplomats need to face. Nowadays, Nanyang is no longer the small country it used to be. As an influential big country, Nanyang’s regional influence is destined to have a great future in Southeast Asia. The role played is extremely important.
For example, in Malaya, Siam, and Nanyang, they played a very important role. Of course, the assistance provided by the United States to the two countries is greater than the assistance provided by Nanyang. There is no way. Who makes the United States the leader of the free world? But even though the United States paid for it, the US military also set up a base in Siam and stationed in Siam. It does not prevent Nanyang from exerting its influence in Siam, and Nanyang is proactive in Siam.
In comparison, Nanyang was in a passive state in Saigon.
"But why are we showing a passive or even shrinking posture in Saigon?"
Smoking a cigarette, Xiang Chenglin frowned. Although he is only a small counselor, through comparison, he can It was found that Nanyang was completely different in its treatment of Siam and Saigon.
The help provided by Nanyang in the former is all-round, and the influence is naturally in all aspects, but what about the latter?
Most of them stay within a certain range. What leads to such differential treatment?
……
"Our financial resources restrict our capabilities."
In the office, Mei Jiemin, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, emphasized his tone when faced with the doubts of his subordinates.
“We all know very well that if you want to exert influence abroad, you don’t just rely on words, but you need to pay real money. The United States has a great influence on Saigon. is building on more than $200 million in annual aid, if we want to To compete with the United States, you need to get 200 million US dollars!”
After a pause, Mei Jiemin asked:
“Do you know what 200 million US dollars means? How can this money go to waste in a year’s income of ten thousand Nanyang people? What about providing it to foreigners? Cheng Lin, remember that as diplomats, it is important for us to expand and expand Nanyang’s influence, but more importantly, it is to safeguard Nanyang’s interests. This is why Nanyang is not like other countries in the world! proactively launch a “diplomatic offensive” "The reason is because diplomacy requires money from your pocket, especially for big countries. To be friends with you is essentially to take money out of your pocket, and if you want to exert influence in their home, then Need more money!”
Mei Jiemin stared at Xiang Chenglin for a long time and asked:
"As for Siam, the biggest difference between it and Saigon is that the king of Siam was restored with our support. They We trained its army, and most of the people in its government and army are from the Tang Dynasty. If Malaya is the biological son of Nanyang, then Siam is the godson. We will naturally increase investment there, but what about Saigon? ?”
“There is a group of corrupt officials who will put our aid in their pockets at any time”
Xiang Chenglin replied.
“For this reason, many people in Saigon are extremely dissatisfied with Diem’s rule. Perhaps, we can take advantage of this.”
Although he is only a counselor, Xiang Chenglin also has some ideas.
"Maybe it will turn into Siam, maybe it will turn into trouble. The situation in Saigon is different from other places. You don't need to think about these issues for the time being. You only need to do one thing well in Saigon - —It is enough to ensure our basic interests and the local interests of Nanyang people."
"Secretary-general, I understand what you mean, but this is indeed an opportunity."
His answer caused the two of them to fall into silence.
"The opportunity is not only now! There will still be opportunities for this kind of thing in the future. Well, your task is...just accompany that Mrs. Yao."'
Mei Jiemin smiled.
"I heard that Mrs. Yao still has a great influence on Diem. It should be said that it is beneficial to us to accompany her and stabilize her."
The words of the deputy chief, Xiang Chenglin couldn't help but touch his nose. He did a good job in accompanying Mrs. Yao, even at the expense of himself.
“Okay, I understand.”
Seeing Xiang Chenglin turn around and walk towards the door, Mei Jiemin thought for a while and added:
"Mrs. Yao wants to meet with the people from the Government Development Assistance Committee. In the name of the ministry, please introduce them. They have conditions for assistance, which cannot be achieved by meeting."
"I Got it!"
Xiang Chenglin nodded, thought for a while, and then said:
"Secretary, actually, I am worried that Saigon will completely turn to the United States. Just like the Philippines, as a neighboring country, they are controlled by the United States, which is not a good thing for us-"
"I know, but..."
Mei Jiemin thought for a while and said.
“It is better to let the United States control it now than to let other countries control it. When the Americans focus on Saigon, we have more energy to develop ourselves. Now, for Nanyang, the most important thing is The issue is development! Only when development is achieved can we consider other things. Otherwise, everything is empty talk! Remember - poor countries are not qualified to talk about international influence! Qualifications talk about international influence!
This point of view is very simple, but also very realistic! Because of this, Nanyang's diplomacy has always been realistic - things that are not beneficial will never be done!
After leaving the deputy director's office, Xiang Chenglin walked along the corridor towards the elevator and entered the elevator. He couldn't help but think about some problems in his mind, both about Saigon and Nanyang. However, he soon felt relieved. In fact, he had never cared about Saigon. All he cared about was whether Saigon would be affected by Nanyang control.
"Fortunately, I still have Hue to sacrifice, let's stabilize this Mrs. Yao first!"
When this thought flashed through my mind, Xiang Chenglin had already arrived at the parking lot. While starting the car, the radio started The news on the TV was about the Asian Games, but Xiang Chenglin was thinking about the football match.
Would you like to play basketball with Mrs. Yao later? After all, everyone likes sports during the Asian Games...
