Chapter Twenty-Four: Selling War
On the evening of the day of Chuan Shi Dehei, Cheng Yi followed Lin Muxun to meet us... Inside the Sichuan system
Morality. [Full text reading]
The Iranian president's first impression of Bae Seung-yi was that the Iranian authorities attached great importance to the issue of the president's age, and Ahmadinejad was much older in reality than Ahmadinejad in photos and on television. In fact, Ahmadinejad is not young. According to the relevant information released by the Iranian authorities, Ahmadinejad was elected president when he was in the old age, and now he is past the age of knowing the destiny of heaven. And the Western news media have long speculated that Ahmadinejad's actual age is likely to be older than the one announced by the Iranian authorities. The reason is simple, Ahmadinejad's father, former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Ahmadinejad was born in the year of the thug, so the age of the Iranian president when he was elected president should be between the age of the blade.
Just a few minutes later, Bae Chengyi stopped paying attention to Ahmadinejad's age.
Although he didn't talk a few words, the Iranian president's words and demeanor in these few minutes convinced Pei Chengyi that he was a pound. A politician who works hard to make the country prosperous certainly has no problem with moral sentiments. The ability will not be bad, the difference is only luck. What made Pei Chengyi even more surprised was that he saw some shadows of Wang Yuanqing in Ahmadinejad. To be precise, some of Ahmadinejad's habitual movements and demeanor are more similar to Wang Yuanqing's. It was a long time later that Pei Chengyi learned from the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Agency that Ahmadinejad regarded Ji Youguo as an idol before he entered the political arena, tried his best to collect all the information related to Ji Youguo, and learned a lot from it, while Wang Yuanqing stayed by Ji Youguo's side for several years and was somewhat influenced by Ji Youguo, so the two have a lot of similarities.
The problem is, Iran is not a republican re. Ahmadinejad's role in Iran is more like that of Ji Youguo, far worse than that of Wang Yuanqing.
When the secretary brought the tea. Lin Muxun took out a cigar and cut one for the Iranian president very enthusiastically.
After lighting a cigar and taking two puffs, Ahmadinejad's gaze fell on Pei Chengyi and stayed for many seconds.
This made Pei Chengyi very uncomfortable. After all, it's rude to stare at it like that.
"I can't believe it."
Ahmadinejad broke the silence. Pei Chengyi was taken aback again, because he did not speak Persian, but spoke a slightly hard, but very authentic Chinese.
"General Pei is younger than I thought." Ahmadinejad looked at Pei Chengyi carefully again and said, "More than ten years ago, when I was still working for Hormuzgan Province, I heard that your ** team annihilated two U.S. Marine divisions on the Korean Peninsula under the command of a colonel officer in his early thirties, defeated several U.S. main divisions, and finally helped Korea complete reunification. ”
"Bet with someone?" Lin Muxun is a bit of a gossip.
"Fought with the then Bandar Abbas Defense Commander, now Commander of the Navy, Gammel
"It's not going to be a bet on how old I am, is it?" Pei Chengyi also came to be interested.
"Of course not, we knew your age at the time. We're betting on whether you can be promoted to general before the age of forty-five. Ahmadinejad shrugged his shoulders. "It's a pity that I just lost one of Tehran's most famous Persian dishes. ”
"Persian cuisine at the Kakemara Hotel?"
Ahmadinejad smiled and nodded.
"Not the most unique, but definitely the most expensive." Ahmadinejad smiled, looked at Pei Chengyi, and said. "Now it seems. I justifiably lost. It's just that General Pei's youth still surprises me very much. If I'm not mistaken, General Pei should not be fifty years old
Pei Chengyi smiled and didn't dwell on the age issue.
"Being able to achieve so many and such brilliant military achievements in his forties, General Pei can be regarded as a rare good in a century."
"The president has won the award, and in the history of our country, there are no less than 100 famous generals who led the army at the age of 20."
"Of course, your country, like ours, has a history that stretches back thousands of years." Ahmadinejad paused for a moment and said, "Every time I look back at history, I see that there is always a striking similarity in history. Take your history and our history as an example, our ancestors have created glorious history and established magnificent empires, and in modern times, we have all suffered humiliation and suffering, and we have to face all kinds of difficulties and obstacles that stand in the way of national rejuvenation. All this made me realize that the same experience has brought us together, and it has also made us friends of the friendship alliance for generations, and the most trustworthy and trustworthy allies of each other. In today's world, there are not many friends worthy of sincere friendship, and your country can be counted as one. I also believe, for your country. We are also friends who deserve to be friends from the bottom of our hearts. ”
Pei Chengyi nodded slightly while listening, seemingly affirming Ahmadinejad's point of view, but in fact it was just a social interaction.
After Ahmadinejad finished speaking, his eyes fell on Pei Chengyi again.
Although Pei Chengyi is not afraid of such occasions, a few years ago, in Buenos Aires, he knew how to face the presidents of other countries, but Pei Chengyi did not represent the republic at that time, but now he represents the republic. So before he spoke, he had to think carefully about what he was about to say.
"The president's words just hit my heart." While Pei Chengyi was pondering, Lin Muxun stepped forward, "although some are not very pleasant" to introduce Lu Qing, which has had a negative impact on the relationship between our two countries. But I remember. Almost like the president said. The same experience brought us together and made us trusted friends. As we both strive to strengthen our friendship, I am even more confident that our relationship will continue to grow and reach a higher level
Obviously, these words did not sound like those spoken by a businessman.
Ahmadinejad smiled and nodded, still waiting for Pei Chengyi to speak.
Pei Chengyi knew that Lin Muxun wouldn't be delayed for long, so when Ahmadinejad's gaze turned again, he said: "Your Excellency, although I am visiting your country as a special assistant to the Yuan, my real identity is a soldier, so it is difficult for me to express my opinion on some political topics
Hear that. Ahmadinejad immediately frowned. Obviously, the Iranian president has a good listening ear for Chinese.
"As a soldier, I rarely think about politics." Pei Chengyi smiled, and when Lin Muxun pinched his sweat for him and gave him a look, he changed his words and said, "It is precisely because I don't think about problems like a politician, so I will look at problems and solve them in a very direct way." As a military man of the republic. It is my duty to safeguard the national interests of the Republic, so it is not my right to make any comments or express any opinion on the remarks made by His Excellency the President on the relations between our two countries. Mr. Lin and I have made a special trip to meet His Excellency the President, not to promote the traditional friendship between our two countries, but to be a matter for diplomats
Ahmadinejad's brow jumped a few times. He clearly heard the implication of Pei Chengyi's words, which once again showed that his Chinese proficiency was not low.
"Your Excellency. What I want to say is that soldiers must be prepared for danger in times of peace, and peace can only be sustained for a long time if they are always on guard against potential dangers. If I'm not mistaken, your father, before he became president, was also a soldier, and a soldier who went to war. I am sure that Your Excellency will understand what I mean. ”
"I can understand what General Pei meant, it's just the purpose of General Pei's trip
"We have a saying, "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace." Pei Chengyi smiled slightly and said, "Yuan sent me here for two main purposes, one is to help your country, and the other is to protect the interests of my country. In fact, your country has close relations with my country. Not to mention anything else, China's commercial investment in your country is hundreds of billions of yuan, and the number of business personnel stationed in your country has reached tens of thousands, and even the number of tourists in your country is more than 100,000 at any time. So for the purpose of protecting our country, we will help your country, and we will do everything we can to help your country through this difficult time. ”
Ahmadinejad nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Pei Chengyi meant.
No doubt. This sentence has made the Iranian president realize that although Bae Chengyi keeps saying that he is a soldier, he is no worse than any diplomat when it comes to the work of a diplomat. Because of his special status and unusual influence, he does a better job than a diplomat when it comes to conveying certain messages.
These last few words are very clear about the attitude of the republic. What's more. In delivering the official diplomatic message, Bae also hinted at Ahmadinejad that the republic cares about its own interests, and if the Iranian authorities cannot ensure the interests of the republic, then the republic will think of other ways.
Ahmadinejad thought for a moment and said, "What does General Pei mean by difficulty? ”
"Your Excellency the President should know that a few days ago, we had unilateral contacts with the United States in Cape Town." Pei Chengyi paused slightly. "To be honest, the topics we discussed with the United States in Cape Town had basically nothing to do with Africa, mainly the Middle East, especially the Kurds," he said. ”
Ahmadinejad's brow twitched sharply a few times, until this time. before moving on to the formal topic.
"Mother is in doubt. Whenever the Kurdish issue is involved, the United States authorities will target your country and Iraq and threaten to resolve the issue in the right way at the right time. Of course, we are also arguing on the basis of reason, after pointing out that Turkey has the key to the Kurdish problem, to threaten to threaten.
In fact, the same topic has been debated many times between us and the United States over the years, and we have also informed your country. Pei Chengyi sighed and said, "It's a pity that the United States' attitude is much tougher than before, not only threatening, but also telling us unmistakable." The Kurdish issue cannot remain in the air forever. From the point of view of maintaining long-term peace in the Middle East. The Kurdish issue must be resolved not only but as soon as possible. In response to this situation, we have made the judgment that the United States authorities are taking action, or are about to do so. ”
"Imminent action?. Ahmadinejad interrupted Pei.
Pei Chengyi nodded slightly and said, "Your Excellency the President must understand. Turkey is an ally of the United States, and your country is a quasi-ally of our country. If a military conflict breaks out between your country and Turkey over the Kurdish issue. Ganzhi is the United States to launch military action against your country in response to this issue, and we will certainly not sit idly by. Under these circumstances, if the US authorities are secretly plotting actions against your country, they will certainly test our attitude and take the opportunity to vaccinate us, so as to avoid a war between the two major powers. ”
Ahmadinejad frowned slightly, and understood what Pei Chengyi meant.
"Of course, we don't think the U.S. is going to take military action. In fact, the United States has already suffered losses twice, and if it had been able to hit your country through the Kurds "more than twenty years ago, the United States would not have lost so much Pei Chengyi planted a little otter. He continued, "In our judgment, it is very likely that the U.S. authorities will seek ways other than military action, such as covert subversion, to change your country's political formation, thereby causing your country to decline rapidly." Imagine that if the political situation in your country becomes turbulent and the ability to resist foreign aggression is lost, and we miss the opportunity to intervene in your internal affairs, the US authorities will certainly try by all means to move tens of millions of Kurds in Turkey, nearly 7 million Kurds in Iraq, and even more than 1 million Kurds in Syria and Armenia into your country, so as to achieve the goal of changing the ethnic structure of your country or dividing your country. Although it has been at least twenty years of unremitting efforts, and has paid a high price of tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, it is more than gained. These efforts are not worth mentioning. As a soldier, all I can think of is that in addition to Israel and Turkey, there is another country that obeys the orders of the United States, and the three countries are each other's horns. At that time, even if we take matters into our own hands, it will not be possible to change the situation in the Middle East. ”
said so much in tone, Pei Chengyi didn't say the most influential words, and there was no need for the thugs to say it.
Ahmadinejad knew very well that the biggest loss at that time would not be the republic, but Iran. Whether Turkey once again becomes a great empire that overthrows Afro-Asian desires, or the Jews dominate the Middle East under the impetus of Zionism, or the Kurdish states follow the lead of the United States, the end result is that Iran will forever lose the opportunity to dominate the Middle East.
More importantly, Ran Jad knew the meaning behind Pei Chengyi's words.
After Pei Chengyi put down the teacup, Ahmadinejad spoke: "General Pei, what I want to know is, in this case, how can the interests of your country be protected?" ”
"Quite simply, we need your country's help. In other words, we need to help each other
Ahmadinejad nodded slightly and said, "Then what plan did your country abandon?" ”
"There is no specific plan yet, after all, the time is too rushed."
"So"
"This time I came, just to convey a pound for Yuan. Information, that is, in the face of common threats, we should strengthen cooperation in all directions Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "In terms of security, we will provide the latest information in a timely manner, and if Your Excellency is not at ease with certain people in your country, you can send the most trustworthy person to follow us back to the republic." Most importantly, we must guard against the US authorities' irritation, because the current situation in the Middle East is very delicate, and the Kurdish issue is likely to be just a fuse in the Middle East powder box, and if the US authorities think that the US national interests can only be safeguarded by detonating the powder cartridge and reshuffling the cards, we must be prepared. In this regard, our proposal is to raise the level of military cooperation. If there is no problem on your side. Our basic commitment is to increase the level of arms sales to your country in the near future and to increase the modalities of cooperation. For example, the establishment of a military factory in your country for the entire Islamic world. In addition to these collaborations. There has to be something on the table, that is, the official attitude. In any case, if we can resolve the crisis through diplomatic means, even if it is to delay the outbreak of war, we should do our best. In this regard. Our opinion is to take the initiative to make concessions on the Kurdish issue with a high profile. And it is a concession that the United States cannot accept, thus becoming the party of justice. ”
"Concessions that are unacceptable to the United States?"
"In any case, more than half of the Kurds are in Turkey, and if the Kurdish problem is to be fundamentally solved, Turkey has to set an example, right?"
Ahmadinejad was stunned for a moment, then understood.
"Of course, I'm a soldier and don't understand diplomacy, so it's up to the diplomats on both sides to decide what to do
"These proposals of General Pei are indeed very valuable, and I don't think the problem is very big." Ahmadinejad paused a little and said, "But there's one thing I want to figure out, and that's how does your country benefit from this?" ”
"Your Excellency, your country remains stable. In addition, if we appropriately increase the degree of opening up, we will be able to realize the interests of our country. Pei Chengyi glanced at Lin Muxun and said to Ahmadinejad, "On the way here." I learned something from Mr. Lin. According to Mr. Lin, your country's economic development has great potential, but most of the enterprises in the Republic, including the Samjian Group, are focused on India and for the foreseeable future. They all have to concentrate on digesting the Indian market, and it is impossible to expand investment in other regions. Of course. I believe that under the guidance of national policies, there will certainly be many enterprises in the Republic that are willing to invest in your country. ”
At this moment, not only Ahmadinejad showed a look of surprise, but even Lin Muxun, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't sit still.
"General Pei, I also want to ask one last question, Ahmadinejad saw Pei Chengyi's sincerity. There is no further entanglement in secondary issues.
"If the situation gets out of control, I mean. But if, when war becomes inevitable, how much time do we have? ”
Pei Chengyi thought for a moment and stretched out three fingers.
"Three years?"
"It's not three years, it's three months."
Ahmadinejad's face changed suddenly, because this answer illustrates one of the most important questions. That is, the assumptions he began to make became true.
