Chapter 1632 Price (first update, please subscribe)
The road is very long.
For Jakarta, the future journey has just begun. In August of this year, Jakarta ushered in his liberation.
Although Jakarta split into several countries in the following days, they were truly liberated anyway.
It is not just a nominal liberation, but a real liberation that begins spiritually.
This liberation will completely change the country in the days to come. Of course, they may not be happy now, but in the future, they will definitely welcome all of this in the face of changes in life and in various aspects.
"...We returned freedom to them today."
The war began with a television speech, but it did not end with a television speech.
Just as Li Yian made a speech on TV claiming that the large-scale military operation was over, the guerrilla warfare in the rainforest of Java did not stop. In fact, their resistance would continue, and it would last for many years.
"We don't need to consider the issue of completely eliminating the guerrillas for the time being."
After the TV speech, Li Yian said to Zhao Shangqin: "For now, we still need the resistance there to continue. This not only helps us squeeze out the pustules, but also needs him to restrain him. Our energy."
Zhao Shangqin immediately understood what you meant.
"You mean to make Americans think that our attention is all in Java, right?"
"Yes, if there is no place that attracts our attention, Americans must have I hope we help them solve the Vietnam problem, but that muddy water..."
Shaking his head, Li Yian said: "It's better not to go there. At least from now on, the time to intervene in Saigon's affairs is not ripe enough."
Because this aspect has been around for a long time. Zhao Shangqin naturally knew what you meant by communicating and how complicated Saigon affairs were.
Nodded and thought for a while, Zhao Shangqin said again.
"Your Excellency, the problems in Jakarta have basically been solved, but there is another thing that may need to attract our attention."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Philippines!"
Zhao Shangqin replied:
"Your Excellency, you know that the military has been doing in the past few years. In assisting Manila in suppressing the Hooker guerrillas, the Military Intelligence Agency has not relaxed its work in the local area. "
The Hooker guerrillas are actually another guerrilla armed force supported by the Soviet Union and major powers, as early as 30 The Moscow organization was established in the age of time.
During World War II, they organized the Hooker army to resist the Japanese invasion, but after the liberation of the Philippines, they did not give up their armed forces. Instead, we took the people's war as the theoretical guidance, aimed at establishing a new government, and used guerrilla warfare and political means to attack the Philippine government, and its power expanded rapidly.
Although as early as 10 years ago, under the aid of the United States, political offensive and military strikes, the Hooker army had basically been wiped out. Many Hooker soldiers were "relocated" to the southern Mindanao, and they were welcomed by their arrival in Mindanao. After all, many of the Hooker soldiers were Tang people.
But on the other hand, there are still some guerrillas in northern Luzon.
As a neighbor, Chang'an naturally could not sit idly by and watch the Philippines change color, so he sent special forces as consultants to help train the Philippines troops and provide them with weapons and other assistance. Of course, this also helps increase its military force. influence.
"Recently, we have heard from the local insider that they have launched a new generation of leaders. They have now completely abandoned Moscow and have received support from the other side.
I am worried that in the next year or two, the Philippines' problems are likely to worsen further. "
Li Yian frowned and immediately appeared in his mind an organization that still exists even in the new century.
They are People with tens of thousands of organics at their peak, even in the new century, had thousands of guerrillas.
If it weren't for the changing situation, and with the US garrison in the Philippines, perhaps the Philippines would be the next domino .
In fact, there were really several dominoes at that time, from Siam to the Philippines, from Myanmar to Malaysia...
These dominoes could have fallen back then, but they stopped because of the changes in the world.
Frown tightly, Li Yian thought for a while and said: "What is the current attitude of Manila?"
"Marcos believes that only Hooker's army is left now There is no need to worry about some remaining soldiers, and the military is also in this way."
Li Yian thought for a while and then said.
"The Nanyang Islands are our lifeline, and we cannot tolerate others' involvement in any case... But if they themselves are not aware of the threat and we blindly intervene, it is very likely that the relationship between the two will be worsened. .
The emperor is not in a hurry to the eunuch. This kind of thing is not advisable. Let them hurry up and talk about it first. "
Some things are like this, even if they are obtained in advance intelligence. It is often helpless. After all, at least in name, the Philippines is still an independent country, and even Americans as the Supreme Emperor will not interfere in Philippine affairs unscrupulously.
In fact, in comparison, the Soviet Union was the real emperor. As long as needed, the KGB could even arrest local people at will from Eastern European countries and then directly send them to Siberia by train.
Train hotels in Moscow.
It is evidence of the Soviet Union as the Supreme Emperor, but it is also the fundamental reason why Eastern European countries are disunited. "I understand." Zhao Shangqin nodded and said: "We will continue to pay attention and pay attention to local changes at any time." >"Well, by the way, that Marcos..."
I originally wanted to ask Li Yian, who was elected as President of the Philippines a few years ago, but he stopped talking.
The military only needs to pay attention to military affairs. As for whether Marcos is suitable as the president of the Philippines?
This issue should be left to other departments to take responsibility. If it is not suitable... you can replace him directly.
Anyway, with Chang'an, the Philippines cannot make trouble.
Thinking of this neighbor who was so close, Li Yian suddenly realized a problem.
It seems that what I have always focused on is to maintain good relations with European and American countries, and to correspondingly relax the relationship with neighboring countries. "It seems that I have never visited Asian countries..."
After thinking about it, it seems that it is true, maybe this is the darkness under the light.
It has always been due to economic, political and other reasons. Li Yian attaches more importance to relations with the United States and Europe, so since the emergence of jetliners, he has visited these countries frequently.
Every year, the visits are mainly European and American countries. As for the poor neighbors in Asia, they have not been there until now.
Of course, except for Saigon, after all, his ancestral tomb is still there in name.
But Seoul, Tokyo, Manila, and even Bangkok. I have never been there before. The reason why they don’t go is not because these places are not important, but because... they are difficult for them to attract their own attention at all.
"Your Excellency, it is extremely necessary to visit Seoul, Tokyo, Manila and Bangkok. After all, in theory, they are all our allies in Asia."
No One mistake, one post, one content, one in one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one read!
As a specialist in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Li Guoren has been responsible for foreign affairs for the past 20 years, and dealing with neighbors is naturally his scope of work.
"If you can visit those areas, it will definitely help deepen the connection between us.
Of course they will definitely take the opportunity to ask for more help, such as hopefully we Provide more share and more help in the development assistance program."
In fact, this is also the reason why Li Yian doesn't like to deal with those people. That's a bunch of poor guys who always seize all kinds of opportunities to ask for help.
No one's family's money is blown by the strong wind. Although Chang'an is rich, every penny is the blood and sweat of citizens.
The aid development plan is just a tool for market development and is not a free aid.
"But we need to further expand our influence in those regions. After all, besides the United States, we should be friends with absolute influence on them."
Li Guoren's words made Li Yian He nodded deeply and said: "Yes, I don't have the past and the past are completely different concepts. We want to expand our influence in those regions, not just rely on development assistance, but also It is necessary to show them how much we value them. This performance...well, it is reflected through my visit."
In fact, diplomacy is not complicated many times, just like whenever the US president When he took office, the most concerned thing from the outside world was always the first country he visited and the first to call the head of state.
These actions seem to be of little significance, but in fact they are of great significance.
Just in Asia, South Korea and Japan care very much about who comes first and who comes later.
Watching this, Li Yian couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, I'm a little uncompetent in this way!"
"The main reason is that you have a lot of business, so I didn't take time."
Li Guoren's words were of course just a high-sounding excuse.
Li Yian waved his hand and said:
"Okay, you can arrange it. Before the end of the year, I will visit these countries, well, arrange the order."
Li Yian, who originally wanted to talk about how to arrange it, thought that in another world, Japan and South Korea, every time the two countries were proud or lost because of the order of the US president's visit or the order of calls.
In order to be able to find one, they are very happy to make concessions on some issues.
Isn’t this diplomacy?
What is great power diplomacy?
Great power diplomacy does not mean how much aid you provide to them or how much money you put out.
The most critical core of great power diplomacy is that when you visit, those countries are often willing to exchange national rights and interests in order to win your visit.
Now we can turn our access into a tool, on the one hand, to test their attitudes, but on the other hand, there may be unexpected gains.
Thinking of this, Li Yian said: "You can send out some signals first, yes, tell them I will take time to visit these countries.
I think there may be some unexpected gains. , Who knows? ”
What price are they willing to pay when those countries learn that they are going to visit?
When thinking of this, Li Yian couldn't help but feel curious.
After all, he hopes to get and get some corresponding rewards than to pay. After all, I have paid a lot in them over the years, so logically, some interest should be recovered. "Your Excellency and the others don't seem to have anything to pay." Li Guoren said helplessly.
"After all, these countries are very poor, that is, the economic conditions in Siam are slightly better."
This is not to look down on those countries, but to tell a fact. Whether it is the Philippines or South Korea, Siam's economy is very backward.
Especially South Korea, even after several years of development, its economic situation still lags behind some African countries.
As for the Philippines, although the United States has never decreased since its independence, the aid has basically become deposits of senior Manila officials in Swiss banks.
On these countries, only Siam has a relatively better economy. However, after all, it is Siam, a place that is deeply influenced by Chang'an.
"No,"
Li Yian shook his head and said:
"Although they are poor, they still have some things we need. Now it depends on how much they are willing to pay."
