Chapter 808 Different Interest Claims
The two unfavorable plans given by the Turks were obviously not prepared to let the ship go easily.
But since the other party pretended to put forward a series of conditions instead of directly rejecting it like Egypt, it is not impossible to talk.
However, what they really want is obviously not the two things on the surface.
I guess I want to make a profit from it.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Luchuang Group is basically a shell now, and there is nothing worth spending so much time on.
Therefore, the target of their blackmail is obviously the Chinese official.
Of course, there are no moral issues between countries.
It is nothing more than dialogue based on strength.
Now that the matter has been made clear, there is no need for everyone to be secretive, and we can take off our vests and talk about it in person...
Therefore, under the pressure brought by the 40-hour countdown, the matter was quickly reported to the capital layer by layer.
Next, it will be a head-to-head contest between the two sides.
Many other countries, including many, are also paying close attention to the development of this matter.
Firstly, it involves a semi-finished aircraft carrier that is entirely likely to be rebuilt.
Secondly, I am also observing a sample.
A sample of soft confrontation between countries of different sizes.
In fact, the impact of Chang Haonan's indirect intervention in the situation in the Balkans last year was even more profound than he expected -
Although NATO unilaterally declared victory, Anyone in their right mind knows that the Allied operation was a virtual failure.
In other words, a superpower has assembled the most powerful military group in the world. Facing a medium-sized country with many internal and external troubles, it doesn't matter if it fails to defeat the opponent. Others shot down two stealth aircraft.
Of course you can explain that the multinational coalition forces are just superficial brothers, but in fact they have their own evil intentions, especially when the Americans launched an attack on the euro almost immediately after starting the Allied Forces operation. The outrageous trick of "accidentally bombing" a civilian building housing the media eventually led to the collapse of the attacker's already fragile alliance.
But no matter what, with such a huge advantage, it turned out to be such a mess in the end. It was definitely a shameful thing to go around in circles.
This leads to two results.
First, after the end of the Cold War, the image of heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals that NATO had managed to cultivate, even if it did not collapse, was at least greatly affected.
Second, every country has begun to think about whether a big country, especially a big country that is not at a crushing advantage in strength, faces a regional power of medium strength, is there anything other than hard confrontation? choose.
The wave between China and Türkiye obviously fits this model.
There is no doubt that China's comprehensive national strength has an advantage, but it does not seem to have direct means of influence on the Mediterranean coastal areas.
Then, this round of confrontation, or the process and result of the confrontation is very interesting.
However, the development of the incident did not go as various countries imagined, and the two sides immediately began "cordial and friendly" exchanges.
Information collected from multiple channels shows that the atmosphere is eerily quiet.
Ankara did not make further representations to the capital, and the latter was very patient and directly started a sit-in war.
Some people have even speculated that Turkey, like Egypt, may have been threatened or tempted by a certain external power and decided to lock the Varyag tug fleet in the Black Sea at all costs...
There are also people It is speculated that the two sides have established some kind of communication channel that can avoid all outside detection, and negotiations are currently underway.
In short, various rumors that are either targeted or outrageous begin to permeate the entire world...
But in fact, the situation is much simpler than the outside world's speculation——< br>
That is, after announcing to the outside world that there are risks for tugboats passing through the Bosporus, Turkey has never been able to reach a consensus internally on what conditions it should impose on China in subsequent negotiations. The factions headed by the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance believe that the country's economic and financial situation is in dire straits, and the most direct method should be used to let China pay a large amount of money, paid in hard currencies such as euros or US dollars, to ease the Asian financial crisis. Inflation caused by the crisis.
This opinion has received support from the highest level. After all, in the past 1999, the Turkish lira experienced an astonishing inflation of more than 100%. If something is not done, the national economy will soon be in trouble. The spiral ascended to the sky.
Although the other group represented by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism is also concerned about the financial situation, their ideas are different. They believe that China should take this opportunity to arrange a certain number of tourists to Turkey every year, so that foreign countries can When people come to consume, the economic crisis can be alleviated from the root.
But the third faction represented by Turkish Aerospace Industries and the Ministry of Industry and Technology has completely different ideas.
They believe that the currency situation is completely hopeless and it is not worth wasting precious chips on such things. Moreover, whether they are asking for money directly or tourists, the international outlook is really poor.
Therefore, it is better to take this opportunity to cooperate with China to develop some industries, especially projects related to the defense industry.
Considering that the latter has also experienced a stage of development from scratch, I think we can learn a lot of useful things from it.
By the way, it can also create a lot of jobs, which is not completely unhelpful to the economy.
At this time in 2000, Ankara’s top leaders were completely unable to suppress the different voices below due to a series of abstract operations in the past.
So there are many supporters of the three voices.
More importantly, it all sounds reasonable.
So, they quarreled during the closed-door meeting...
...
While they were fighting on the opposite side, it was naturally impossible for China to stand still. before, but has already begun preparations for negotiations.
But preparations are preparations, and the conditions thrown out by the other side have never been received, which is indeed a bit unsettling.
After all, if the tugboat reaches the strait but cannot pass it, it will either pay a high fee to temporarily park at a nearby dock, or it will return to the Nikolaev Black Sea Shipyard.
No matter which one, the price is not small.
Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Office of the Director.
Ding Gao Hengzheng and Chang Haonan were sitting opposite each other, each holding a cup of tea in their hands.
"Xiao Chang."
The former said while tapping his fingers rhythmically near the mouth of the tea cup:
"Turkey has officially stated its position and will not allow our tug fleet to pass through the Bosporus."
Of course Chang Haonan was not surprised at all about this incident.
Or rather, he started planning this matter about half a year ago, and now he has a lot of confidence. Even if it is not completely intact, at least it can be settled at a very small cost.
“Since we have delayed expressing our stance until now, I’m afraid it’s not really going to kill us.”
Chang Haonan confidently judged:
"I guess they have already proposed the so-called 'reconciliation' conditions to us in private, right?"
After that, he walked leisurely. He took a sip of tea and waited for Ding Gaoheng's next words.
However, the other party put down the tea cup, supported his chin with both hands, and shook his head seriously:
"That's the problem."
"As of now, almost 20 hours have passed since the last message we received from Ankara, but they have not made any further offers and have even remained silent and completely unresponsive to our unsolicited inquiries."
“Huh?”
The confident smile on Chang Haonan’s face froze.
