Chapter 1280: Nanyang is about to overturn the table (first update, please subscribe)
In the vast Pacific Ocean, the sky is clear, and among a few floating clouds, a C707-30 passenger plane is soaring over the ocean.
The C707-30 is the intercontinental version of its series of aircraft. By redesigning the wings and improving the tail design, it reduces drag and replaces it with a more fuel-efficient engine. A series of design improvements have also The range has been improved, making it the world's first intercontinental passenger aircraft that can fly routes from Chang'an to North America.
Of course, it is also the Nanyang "Air Force One".
In the cabin, Li Yian sat there, quietly reading the report. This trip to North America was not just about visiting the United States, but also attending the United Nations General Assembly.
Li Yian has complicated feelings about the United Nations. While he knows that it is nothing more than a "waste paper manufacturing machine" and a "sanctuary for gangsters," he also aspires to become a "permanent member of the United Nations."
“Why are there only five permanent members, why can’t there be six countries?”
Li Yian couldn’t help but complain.
"Your Excellency, maybe it is for the convenience of voting. Among the five countries, voting can give you a reason."
Li Guoren's explanation made Li Yian couldn't help but roll his eyes and said :
"Do you believe it?"
"Uh...it's just a liar!"
Li Guoren laughed, and then explained seriously.
“The permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council originated from the concept of the “Four Policemen”. In order to prevent the aggressor country from launching a new war again, the major powers must play the role of international police in maintaining world peace and security after the war. , this international police role is the core of the new international organization.
During World War II, the United States, the Soviet Union, Tangshan and the United Kingdom formed an anti-fascist alliance to jointly fight against the Axis powers. Therefore, Roosevelt proposed the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom. Proposal to establish an international peace organization with Britain and China as the core.
The four major countries became founding members of the United Nations after the war and played an important role in international affairs.
However, due to its own political considerations, when Britain failed to exclude Tangshan, in order to counter the United States, Churchill proposed to bring France into the group of major powers, thereby turning the "Four Policemen" into the "Five Policemen" . "
"It is not only Fatty Qiu who rejects Tangshan, but also the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union's opposition is more determined than the British, so I won't mention these. "
Waving his hand, Li Yian, who stopped talking about these old things, said:
"Anyway, relying on political speculation, Britain dragged France into it. Even France can become one of the five permanent members, why can't Nanyang? ”
"Yes, why not Nanyang?"
Li Guoren asked:
"But the seats for the permanent members are determined based on the United Nations Charter. If we want to enter, it will be very difficult. ! ”
Isn’t it difficult!
In another world, Germany, Japan, Brazil and India are all actively seeking opportunities to join the UN Security Council. However, there is a tacit understanding among the major powers on this issue. The United States agrees, but Russia and East Asia oppose it. , East Asia and Russia support it, the United States opposes it, Britain and France support it, and the other three countries all oppose it tacitly.
"Leave aside the Charter, let's talk about the big powers. Without the consent of the five major powers, it is impossible for us to become a permanent member of the United Nations. But is it possible for these five major powers to reach consensus? Even if the four major powers agree, the Soviet Union will definitely not Agreed, he is very dissatisfied with the fact that he only has one seat, so how can he add another seat and create trouble for himself?"
Li Guoren nodded in agreement:
"Yes, Your Excellency, the British one? Therefore, the reason why the United States attracted France was to hook up with France and increase its voting rights. The reason why the United States attracted Tangshan back then was also to gain allies and increase his voting rights.”
“This is politics. !”
Close the report and put it on the table, Li Yian said:
"Therefore, it is almost impossible for us to become a permanent member of the Security Council within the current framework of the United Nations. It can even be said that... it is simply a fantasy! Even if the United States or the United Kingdom express support for us to become a permanent member of the Security Council, they are just referring to a person. Let’s chase the rabbit away!”
In another world, Japan and India, the United States and Russia, which are most active in joining the UN Security Council, just pointed out a rabbit and asked them to chase it away, but they turned out to be stupid. It's so fucking fun.
Because that's their only choice.
"Your Excellency, what should we do?"
Li Guoren said directly:
"Nanyang must have an international status that matches Nanyang's national strength. Even if we don't strive for it now, our descendants will strive for it in the future. But if we can do it, why should we leave the problem to future generations?"
This is Nanyang - not leaving problems to future generations, the current generation solves contemporary problems instead of leaving problems to future generations.
Li Yian nodded and said:
"Yes, if we don't solve it, it will be more difficult for future generations to solve it. The wisdom of future generations should be to solve the problems they face. They face The problems may be more complicated, we... let’s solve all the problems in front of us first,”
After a slight pause, Li Yian said:
"Since the problem cannot be solved within the framework of the United Nations, then leave the United Nations!"
"Leave the United Nations? Your Excellency, what do you mean?"
While Li Guoren was surprised, he saw I saw Your Excellency tapping the report with your fingers, and then I heard Your Excellency say:
“Since the Charter is unreasonable, overturn it!”
Overturn the United Nations Charter!
OMG!
For a moment, not to mention Li Guoren, but also the entourage, everyone opened their mouths in shock, and their eyes were full of disbelief!
That’s the United Nations Charter!
Compared with the surprise of others, Song Deqing, the deputy minister of foreign affairs of Nanyang, who once threw the charter into the trash can at the United Nations General Assembly, smiled and said:
“No. Wrong, since it’s unreasonable, then overturn it! What’s the big deal? It’s just the UN Charter. “Yeah, what’s the big deal!
It's just words written on paper. Last year, the special plane of the secret secretary-general of the United Nations was shot down in the Congo, and the secretary-general was stunned. What next?
Leave it alone, this is reality!
After all, this world will always talk on the basis of strength.
For Nanyang, all it needs is an opportunity to have a strength dialogue!
"Overthrow it... all you need is an excuse!"
After saying these words, Li Yian looked out the window. At this time, he seemed extremely calm, but there was something in his eyes as he stared out the window. With undisguised ambition.
The five gangsters gathered together for dinner and started a small stove. If they didn’t bring me Nanyang with them, wouldn’t they be afraid that Nanyang would flip the table?
......
After Li Yi'an arrived in the United States in September, he first met some old friends in Washington, including, of course, the Kennedy brothers. Now we are all old friends.
Even if your imagination is open next year, that will be next year.
However, in the turbulent White House and the iron-clad Congress, compared to the president, Li Yi'an prefers to meet old friends in both houses, including some new friends. Of course, they are all the kind with potential for development. .
I’ve met a lot of old friends and new friends. The only regret is that I didn’t meet Carter. Although this guy only served as President of the United States for one term, he claimed to be “dedicated to peace throughout his life and never started a war.” "Meirenzong".
Being kind or not is not important to Nanyang, the important thing is to make new friends. Although it is a bit regretful, there are many opportunities in the future.
In this way, after a few days of gathering with old and new friends in Washington, Li Yian ran to New York, not to meet politicians, but to meet his grandson.
Two years ago, after Jason and Annie Mellon, also known as Vivian, "went home" to Nanyang together, the two of them became lovers. When young people are together, there will always be times when they can't control themselves. Last year, the two of them went there After vacationing in Europe, I had a little surprise.
The surprise is...Anne is pregnant.
For the Mellon family, this was naturally a big event, so they got married at the beginning of the year - Jason was only sixteen years old, and Anne was only seventeen years old.
Okay!
Although it is a bit early, it is in compliance with the law.
"I won't be able to stay long in New York this time."
While speaking, Li Yian looked at the baby in Peggy's arms. This is my grandson!
This is really amazing!
I am only forty years old!
In another world, he might not have become a father at the age of forty!
Now, he has been directly promoted to the middle-grandfather level.
Peggy, who was holding the baby in her arms, saw this situation and asked,
"Is it time to leave after the UN General Assembly is over?"
"This time The UN General Assembly meeting is not just a meeting, it may cause many unexpected things, so I want to return to Chang'an as soon as the meeting ends."
Li Yian glanced at the man in Peggy's arms. Ying, said apologetically,
"Originally, I could stay here for two more days, but things have changed."
"In that case, you can go back. After all, things over there are more important."
Peggy spoke considerately and said:
“Don’t worry about the children. Jason has always been a very independent man. He is now studying in college and managing the company at the same time. As for Annie, She is also a very smart girl, they can take care of themselves."
Nodding, Li Yian felt guilty for Paige and Grace. They were living alone in New York. Thinking of this, He couldn't help but hold it in his arms and whispered:
"Next year, maybe next year we will be able to build a supersonic passenger plane. By then, you, Grace and the children can come to Nanyang for a weekend at any time."
Although it is just an idea, but who Do you know?
"I hope!"
Putting her head on Li Yian's shoulder, Peggy said:
"I just feel that time is getting more and more running out. I really I very much hope that Jason can graduate from college soon and take over the company earlier, and then I can go to Chang'an, so that we can live together..."
Holding the woman in his arms, Li Yian nodded silently. The days of separation between the two places were really difficult.
No matter what, the supersonic plane must be arranged as soon as possible!
