Volume 9 Undercurrents Chapter 58 Exchange of Interests
Liaori points to each other, Islamabad Barkistan Presidential Palace
Ye Zhisheng, a major officer of the Presidential Guard, wearing the uniform of a colonel of the 6th Army of the Republic, entered the office of the President of Pakistan and met President Canberra, who was waiting for him. [No pop-up novel network]
After asking Ye Zhisheng to sit down, Canberra sent the secretary and the guard officers out.
"Your Excellency
"Mr. Minister of Defense, I have a very strong opinion about certain actions of your country."
Ye Zhisheng smiled lightly and said, "Yuan sent me to meet His Excellency the President precisely to eliminate the misunderstanding between us. ”
"Was it just a misunderstanding?" Campbella looked at Ye Zhisheng and said, "Although the friendship between China and Pakistan is deep-rooted, we not only have common interests, but also common goals, Pakistan attaches great importance to its relations with the Republic and respects the choice of the Republic very much, but Pakistan needs the respect of its allies, and even more needs the respect of the Republic." I do not deny that your country has the right to recover the southern Tibetan region that has been occupied by India for decades, but I hope that your country will consider Pakistan's interests before taking military action, and I hope that your country will respect Pakistan's choice. ”
"Your Excellency the President, isn't this a misunderstanding?"
Canberra frowned slightly.
"We and Pakistan are not allies yesterday, Pakistan has been an ally of our country for decades, and it is the most important ally. Sixteen years ago, His Excellency the President took part in the fighting in Kashmir and commanded troops to attack Srinagar. If I am not mistaken, Your Excellency visited our country shortly thereafter. Ye Zhisheng paused slightly and said, "With Your Excellency's experience." As you surely know, for decades, our country has attached great importance to Pakistan. In the years of the power century, China focused its border conflicts on the western battlefield rather than on the more important eastern battlefield. It is enough to prove that our country not only values Pakistan, but can even make sacrifices for Pakistan. ”
Campbella let out a long breath and said, "Mr. Minister of Defense, I have to wonder if you were a diplomat before
Ye Zhisheng also laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if you are a diplomat or not, the important thing is that Your Excellency the President can understand my country's hardships." ”
"I am also very aware of the situation in your country, but
"Your Excellency the President is right, we did ignore it, after all, the issue of southern Tibet does not exist alone, we want to recover southern Tibet as soon as possible, and Pakistan also wants to reunify Kashmir as soon as possibleYe Zhisheng glanced at Canberra and said." It's just that everything has a priority. I am sure that His Excellency the President also does not wish to involve Pakistan in an all-out war. This is not alarmism, but a real danger. I don't know if Your Excellency the President knows, but the key role in the conflict is not Rurajapani in front of us, but Westwood in the Western Hemisphere.
"The President of the United States?"
Ye Zhisheng nodded and said, "If it weren't for Westwood's support, Rurajapani would have admitted defeat a long time ago. ”
Canberra frowned slightly, knowing the meaning of Ye Zhisheng's words.
"Our country did not inform your country in advance, precisely in order to prevent the border conflict that can be controlled from turning into a full-scale warYe Zhisheng picked up the cigarette that Canberra put on the table and said, "Fundamentally, we have been trying to maintain peace and stability in South Asia. After more than a decade, Pakistan has gone from being the poorest and most backward country in the world before the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War to being the richest country in South Asia. Nearly 200 million Pakistani people have benefited from this, and although the southern part of Kashmir is still under India's control, I believe that His Excellency does not want to ruin the achievements of more than 10 years of construction, let alone set back the lives of nearly 200 million Pakistani people by more than a decade. There are many ways to solve the problem, and it is not necessary to achieve the goal through war."
"But the behavior of your country
"It is by this that we hope to create a better opportunity for your country to resolve the Kashmir issue
"How?"
"According to our original intention, if we can force India to make substantial concessions in southern Tibet. In the same way, India can be forced to make concessions on the Kashmir issue, and then your country can easily unify Kashmir without a single soldier. ”
"But,"
"The development of things is a bit unexpected, I have already said before, the intervention of the United States has played a big role, Ye Zhisheng paused slightly, and said, "Don't hide it, Your Excellency, we have signed a secret ceasefire agreement with India, and Rurajapani has promised to withdraw troops from the eastern region. If all goes well, the conflict will end in a few hours. It backfired, because the United States intervened. Rurajapani tore up the ceasefire. Compelled our country to act. ”
Canberra nodded slightly and said, "Pakistan is an ally of the republic, and we must."
"Your Excellency". Ye Zhisheng smiled bitterly. "Your Excellency the President has misunderstood what I meant. Imagine that if your country were to go to war, would the conflict still be under control? Your Excellency should be well aware of the domestic situation in India, and Rurajapani has been riding a tiger. If your country is in this catty. It's time to plug in a hand. I'm afraid no one will be able to step down. ”
Canbella hesitated, slightly
"It's not that we don't want your country's support. Rather, it is your country that stabilizes its position at this time, which is the greatest support for our country
"Mr. Minister is right, only. Your country has recovered southern Tibet, but we have gained nothing. Even if I can understand the situation in your country, neither can I, nor can the politicians in my parliament. I also hope that Mr. Minister will understand my plight, or at least give me a way to explain to the army. ”
"Your Excellency President, you are a good friend of Your Excellency Yuan, how can we let you have no way to step down?" Ye Zhisheng immediately laughed and said. "Yuan asked me to meet with His Excellency the President precisely to help His Excellency deal with some minor troubles. The conflict between our country and India will definitely end, and it will not be long before it ends. The question is. After the end of the conflict, it does not mean that there are no contradictions between our country and India. On the contrary, after China has recovered southern Tibet, as long as the United States refuses to acquiesce in the domination of China and your country in South Asia and still blindly supports India, the contradictions between China and India will not be resolved, but will become more and more acute. It will not be long before there will inevitably be an even more intense conflict between our country and India. When the time comes, our country will need not only your country's support, but also your country's full support
Canberla's brows jumped a few times, and she understood what Ye Zhisheng meant.
"Your Excellency's difficulties are very clear, and I am very clear about them." As he spoke, Ye Zhisheng took out a folded document from his arms and handed it to Canberla. "This is a solemn promise made by Yuan to Your Excellency, as long as Yuan is still on the stage, my country will fulfill its promise. Not only will we fully support your country in recovering the southern part of Kashmir after the outbreak of war, but we will also provide your country with assistance within its capacity, including military assistance, until then. ”
Kangura's heart suddenly burst into joy, and he immediately opened the paper.
After reading the content, the expression of the President of Pakistan suddenly changed. "Mr. Minister, this mentioned above"
"Draft official assistance, specific issues. It is still necessary to play the diplomats of our two sides to solve the problem through negotiationYe Zhisheng lit another cigarette and said, "Finally, the most critical issue was mentioned. ”
Canberra immediately turned to the last page of Vinsh. After taking a look, his eyes widened.
"Unlike in the past, this round of military aid. Your ** team will enjoy the same treatment as our ** team. Ye Zhisheng took two puffs of cigarette and said. China will not only provide your country with comprehensive military training and help your country train skilled soldiers who can operate cutting-edge weapons and equipment, but also provide your country with the cheapest weapons and equipment. Of course. It must not be lower than the cost price, after all, China's arms enterprises have completed the transformation and reform, and our army is treated exactly the same. ”
"Of course, you can't let your country's top military enterprises trade at a loss...... Canberra is already smiling, and the joy can be imagined.
Ye Zhisheng secretly sighed that no matter how close an ally is, it is also based on interests.
"Your Excellency, what does your country need us to do?"
"As I mentioned earlier, your country must hold its ground at this time. It's okay to be pretentious in Kashmir, but don't cross the Line of Actual Control. In addition to this, your country should prepare for the next war as soon as possible, and we will provide more assistance to your country during this period. ”
Canberra nodded slightly and said, "No problem, I'll give the order right away."
"Don't be in a hurry, as long as your ** team doesn't take the initiative to provoke conflicts
"If the Indian army provokes a conflict, we"
"Your Excellency, will the Indian army take the initiative to provoke a conflict at this time?"
Canbella was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Your Excellency, if nothing else, it is time for me to take my leave
"Please convey for me Your Excellency the Minister's greetings to His Excellency Yuan, Pakistan has been, is, and will be the closest and most trusted ally of the Republic."
Ye Zhisheng got up and shook hands with Canberla. Then he took his leave and left.
Because this was a secret visit that was not made public, Ye Zhisheng did not go to the embassy of the Republic in Pakistan to spend the night, and after leaving the presidential palace, he went to the Pakistan Air Force base in the suburbs and returned to the capital of the Republic on the air force transport plane that sent him here.
The purpose of Ye Zhisheng's trip is only one: to stabilize Pakistan.
After the plane took off, Ye Zhisheng breathed a sigh of relief.
As the Yuan envoy, he successfully completed the task. It's just that Ye Zhisheng knew in his heart that Canberra had no intention of involving Pakistan in the war from the beginning, and put on a menacing appearance in Kashmir, not to scare India. Rather, it is to get more aid from the republic.
Why did Yuan make a commitment to provide strategic assistance to Pakistan at this time?
On the way to Islamabad, Ye Zhisheng was thinking about this problem, thinking that it was a bit redundant for Yuan to do so. After meeting with Canberra, Ye Zhisheng understood what Yuan meant. The republic satisfies Pakistan's appetites, not to stabilize Pakistan, but to prepare for war in a few years!
