Chapter 1290 France is a troublemaker (second update, please subscribe)
No overtime after eight o'clock!
This is the Nanyang-style rhythm of life. From the beginning, it was officially restricted by law, and now it has become a habit. People have long been accustomed to this rhythm.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything. For example, in some government departments in Nanyang, there is a "legend" of "wool blankets". Hanging a "wool blanket" will block the office lights, and then you can " Working overtime unscrupulously.
It can only be said that there are "Rolling Kings" everywhere - and they are the kind that generate electricity with love. It is very helpless to meet such a capable officer. After all, if they are found out, they will also be arrested. Interviewed by department labor representatives.
If it weren't for the fact that these people would take the initiative to clock in and "get off work" when they were off work, and then sneak back in, the chief officer would not be able to turn a blind eye. After all, the law is the law, but it cannot stop these "wool go-getters". After all, they are really making selfless contributions and quietly using their love to generate electricity.
In addition to the natural "book kings" who take the initiative to work overtime there, there will also be some on-duty personnel, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Basically every branch has corresponding on-duty personnel.
Like all the staff in the duty room, in front of Su Zhe, in addition to several satellite phones, there is also a telephone connected to the chief's office.
What do diplomats do every day?
In addition to specific routine work, Su Zhe spends more time learning languages. As a civil servant in the South Asia Branch, in addition to English, it is best to learn Hindi or Urdu. Although the official language of India is English, there are actually thirteen local languages.
In short, as a diplomat, you must learn a local language.
Suddenly, the brown phone in front of him rang, and the harsh ringtone broke the silence of the night. This was a call from the Embassy in India.
"Hello? This is the South Asia Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
As soon as the call was connected, a somewhat urgent voice came from the other end.
"The Embassy in India has an emergency report. We just received the news. A few hours ago, at the northern border of India..."
After hanging up the phone, Su Zhe was still in some kind of shock.
All this happened too suddenly, and soon, the phone rings were ringing one after another in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, all calls from embassies abroad.
Soon, Deputy Foreign Minister Song Deqing left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Building and rushed to the Daming Palace by car.
This night is destined to no longer be peaceful.
“It’s really surprising!”
While looking out the window, an idea popped up in Song Deqing's mind. As a professional diplomat, he was keenly aware of what this emergency meant to Nanyang.
In other times, this incident would have been just an accident. However, now, at this extremely sensitive moment, he could imagine the impact that the conflict on the snowy plateau border would have on the regional situation. Change.
Although the news from New Delhi is not yet clear what the current situation is, the current situation is developing in the direction of war.
Every war will bring changes to the relations between countries, and will also affect or even change the international situation to a certain extent.
This hastily printed report is printed in size 4, and the content of the message is:
"Nehru declared that the Indian government would use military force to deal with the University of East Asia, and publicly ordered that the troops of the University of East Asia's border areas should be "cleared out"."
...
"Nehru publicly issued an order: To "clear out" the Dongda troops from the territory of Dongda occupied by the Indian army..."
Looking at the news in the newspaper, the passengers on the subway raised their eyebrows slightly. He said to himself:
“Why are these Indian Asans always jumping up and down like this? I hope they will stop swallowing their anger and show some color to those Indian Asans. Look..."
But for him, his concern for distant places is generally limited to this. In fact, in Nanyang TV news and radio newspapers, border conflicts on the snowy plateau do not occupy a large space. After all, There is also a war going on in Nanyang itself.
The reporters accompanying the army will report back a lot of news. The news from the front is full of TV programs and newspapers. However, what people see is not the trauma of the war, they only see the Nanyang Army marching all the way.
The outcome of this dazzling war seems to have been determined. Whether it is reporters, commentators or ordinary people, they all prefer to talk about this vivid war.
As for the snowy plateau, almost no one paid attention to it, but what the outside world didn't know was... In the Daming Palace, Li Yian would pay attention to this conflict every moment, and even ordered to send out high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft to conduct aerial reconnaissance.
“This Nehru... I really don’t know how to write the word “death”!”
Putting down the aerial photos in his hands, Li Yian sighed and walked to the office, looking through the bound volume of briefings sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
After the briefing related the responses of various countries one by one after the crisis on the snowy plateau occurred in the past period, and again related to the upcoming major events, Li Yian raised the corner of his mouth and said to himself:
"Okay, it's almost time!"
Now, as the date approaches, what Li Yian sees is not this crisis, but the door to the United Nations!
Driven by events one after another, this door is finally about to open!
Sometimes, things are far simpler than imagined, although Nanyang has always been pursuing the status of a great power, especially the status of a permanent member of the Security Council.
But when all this comes, it will even feel a little incredible.
In order to be able to enter, Li Yian carefully arranged everything, from the speech at the United Nations, to launching military operations against Iraq, to the upcoming "Cuban Missile Crisis" - this will be the first step for Nanyang to enter the United Nations. Window period!
As long as we seize this opportunity, Nanyang’s admission to the permanent membership is basically a certainty!
That afternoon, Li Guoren walked into the Daming Palace study room and told you the results of his meeting with the Soviet ambassador one by one.
"The Russians agree?"
"Yes, Your Excellency! They will put forward a proposal to support Nanyang's becoming a permanent member of the United Nations within the next month or two at the appropriate time."
When he said these words, Li Guoren tried his best to make his tone as calm as possible, but the excitement on his face was difficult to conceal.
Once upon a time, he thought it was extremely difficult to achieve this goal, but now the most difficult link has finally been solved.
"Is it that simple?" At least for that moment, Li Yian, as the planner, still felt that it was not real enough.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Li Guoren said:
"Maybe we thought about this problem too complicatedly at the beginning!"
Are you thinking too complicated?
Li Yian pursed his lips and did not speak. Instead, he took out a cigar from the cigar box. After lighting it, he took a puff. After the alluring cocoa fragrance lingered in his mouth, he spit it out. Then he walked to the window and stared out.
The sun is shining outside the window and everything looks so beautiful!
“Yeah, I think it’s too complicated...”
Actually, it’s just a matter of seizing an opportunity, and this opportunity is now. It’s because I stand on the shoulders of historical giants. Only then did Li Yian know what would happen this month, so he could make corresponding decisions in a targeted manner.
Now, just as I had expected - Nanyang was pushed into the United Nations driven by various forces.
No, it should be said that he was promoted to the position of a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council!
Staring into the distance, Li Yian was excited. This... is really not easy.
"Your Excellency, the fundamental reason why the Russians made a decision so quickly is because Nanyang is not their main enemy compared to the United States. They prefer a direct conflict with Nanyang. Build good relations with Nanyang to concentrate on dealing with the United States, and in their view, the United Nations is an international organization controlled by the United States, so they don’t care much..."
Li Guoren’s words were not loud, only the two of them The individual could hear clearly, but Li Yian just nodded slightly and said:
"Whether there is Nanyang or not, it is the United Nations controlled by the United States, but this is not important, what is important is the status of the six major powers!"
< br>
After waving his hand, Li Yian said:
"Now that the most difficult level has been overcome, the remaining questions are the United States, Britain and France. Guoren, who do you think is the most powerful among them? A difficult target? ”
Faced with your inquiry, Li Guoren thought for a moment and said:
"The most difficult target before was Russia. Now...if Russia takes the initiative, the United States should not stop it. After all, , for the United States , the permanent member seat of the United Nations is important, but what is more important is the leadership of the Western world and the outcome of the Cold War. He will never push us into the arms of the Soviet Union. Therefore, when the vote is taken, the United States will definitely vote! Vote yes.”
While analyzing, Li Guoren looked at Your Excellency with only admiration in his eyes. After all, it was Your Excellency who formulated the "Standing to the United Nations Security Council Strategy" with the Soviet Union as the main "troubleshooting" target, using the Soviet Union's most sensitive matters. , forcing them to make a choice.
The Soviet Union's move to bring Nanyang to the restaurant for the sake of the safety of its allies forced the United States not to raise objections. They were afraid of pushing Nanyang into the arms of the Soviet Union.
Especially in a few days, after experiencing the test of life and death, they will be even more afraid that Nanyang will fall to the Soviet Union!
After all, for the United States, Nanyang is their most important ally in the Western Pacific, and the United States needs Nanyang to fight the Soviet Union.
Because of this, not only will they not object, they will even actively cooperate!
Everything went as planned...perfect!
"Then, only the United Kingdom and France are left. The United Kingdom will certainly not object. After all, we are members of the Commonwealth, and the United Kingdom needs our cooperation on matters such as Ocean Bank and space cooperation. Then..."
Looking at your Excellency, Li Guoren said:
"Only France is left. France... they will vote against it!"
After hearing his analysis, Li Yian asked rhetorically.
"Oh? Why? Since the four major countries have agreed, why does France still oppose it?"
"In order to highlight its own importance, Britain is indeed a troublemaker, but after the war, France also played this role. It can even be said that it has been using this role to highlight its own importance."
This is France!
After the war, France jumped left and right, withdrawing from NATO for a while, cooperating with the Soviet Union for a while, and rejoining NATO for a while. It is to show its importance and maximize France's united front value.
"To put it bluntly, it's just trick-or-treating! How often France falls to this point, it's sad enough!"
France has gotten to this point, and even if you say it, you will lose points. . But not only do they not feel ashamed. Gone are the days of jumping up and down.
What is even more irritating is that the Soviet Union and the United States still buy this account, and so do the United Kingdom and the University of Tokyo. Some people even regard him as "a representative of the Western world's opposition to American hegemony" and a "symbol of America's unpopularity."
So, we need to fight hard, and there will be an endless supply of low-priced oil and the like.
You say it’s irritating or not!
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and while being sarcastic, Li Yian said helplessly:
“But if we don’t give you this candy, we will miss the opportunity to become a normal person.”
Who could have imagined that it is not the Soviet Union or the United States that determines whether Nanyang can become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, but the most inconspicuous France.
Sometimes, the world is so wonderful. The two biggest obstacles, the United States and the Soviet Union, were not obstacles. The most inconspicuous one was the real obstacle.
"Your Excellency, what kind of candy are we going to give?"
Faced with Li Guoren's inquiry, Li Yian thought for a while and said:
"Of course, to give them a sense of gratitude. Interested! ”
What sweets are the French interested in?
After Li Guoren left the office, Li Yian, who was standing by the window, thought for a long time. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he shook his head and said:
"Well, it seems that we can only That’s it, it’s just a deal!”
After that, he walked to the desk, and while making a call to the Secret Intelligence Service, he put another report on the table with his hand. Pulling it up to the eye, this is a military report. It says - the 1st Armored Brigade has entered the province of Babylon.
Babylon...that is the real past of Iraq!
