Chapter XXXIII Peacekeeping Forces
This is really straightforward, and it is rare for diplomatic occasions to leave such room for error. Desi Jianshi Novavic didn't react for a while, how he should reply. Yang Xiaolin did not wait for him to react: "My attitude can be made clear to you, that is, the Chinese are unwilling to take any action that may cause the Russian people to misunderstand us. ”
Sa Daoyi said at this time: "Commander Yang, I think you may be a little different from our understanding in some aspects. I can understand your concerns, but we are not asking China to handle this matter alone, but just to let you send troops first, and when our countries are ready, we will also take military action. China's troops did not enter Russia to fight on behalf of China, but on behalf of the international community. ”
Yang Xiaolin suddenly smiled, he firmly believed that there was no discrepancy in his understanding, and believed that Sa Daoyi also said the same thing when he instigated Japan and Russia to send troops to China. But what about the result? If you win, Britain will send a force to fight and reap the fruits of victory. If you lose, then I'm sorry, how the combined fleet formed by the British sold the Japanese army in Liaodong, and how did it sell China to Russia.
Mr. Sa Daoyi just fooled the Japanese last year, and this year he has come to fool himself, and he is still doing this, isn't he tired of it?
From Yang Xiaolin's smile, Sa Daoyi obviously understood something. The words he wanted to say were swallowed by him, and his hands were helplessly spread on the table: "Okay, Commander Yang, tell me what kind of cooperation we should give you if the Chinese side sends troops." ”
Yang Xiaolin said: "Let me give you a suggestion, I do not approve of our involvement in Russia's internal struggle, because the sovereignty of any country should be respected. However, the situation in Russia has indeed reached a stage where it is possible to calm down only if external forces intervene, so I suggest that we immediately issue a statement to the three parties to the Russian conflict, asking them to stop using force and accept the mediation of the international community. ”
Several ambassadors looked at each other at what he said. There was silence in the room, is that what China is willing to do? If mediation really worked, how could Yang Dagui sit here and negotiate with them now?
This time, even Mr. Mumo could no longer remain silent: "Commander Yang, if you just have this attitude, then I can only say that we are very disappointed in China!" The chaos in Russia is not their own business now, it has spread to the whole of Europe and even the whole world, and we must come up with a more concrete plan. ”
Minister Bowo followed suit: "Yes! We French are also very clear about the attitude of Russia this time, Commander Yang, what our government wants China to do is to send troops! You send your troops directly to the rear of those poor ghosts, and Nikolai will have enough time to catch his breath. ”
The gentlemen really need China to act as a thug. The attitude of the Germans and the French in international affairs is rarely so consistent. For many years, Germany supported as long as France opposed it, and France in general opposed it as long as Germany supported it.
There is only one reason for them to be so united this time, and Comrade Trotsky's charge really harmed their common interests. They all realized that they had to use force to solve the problem, but both Britain, France, and Germany and Austria had a little palpitation at Russia's huge body. If the amount of effort invested is small, the problem cannot be solved at all, and if they do their best, they cannot eliminate the problem between each other.
They need a strong thug, and China, which has just defeated Russia, is the most suitable.
"If the Chinese side is not willing to fulfill the international obligations that you should bear. We, the French Government, will immediately consider whether we should be more cautious in supporting China's economic construction in the future. ”
Mr. Boward finally unleashed his threat. France now has this capital to threaten China, and from the formation of Yang Xiaolin's team to the present, China has borrowed nearly 100 million francs from France! In just half a year, France's investment in China can be said to be quite low. Although there is also a need for their own commercial interests. It was more that Britain and France were trying to pull China away from Germany.
Yang Xiaolin is really afraid of the French government's move, and China's current economic miracle is piled up with the money of the British and French. Why did he only say last time that local finances should be made public to the public? Because of the central finances, he did not dare to make them public.
Fortunately, the Chinese people are honest, and Yang Xiaolin said that there are many financial expenditures of the central government that need to be kept secret, and it is inconvenient to disclose them to the public. There's really no one to argue with him.
When it comes to money, he has a different concept from many Chinese in this era. Not to mention the common people, even some experts in China's economy believe that a full treasury is the guarantee for a country's prosperity and stability.
The first year of the republic is coming to an end. This year, China's central government released data on revenue of 400 million silver dollars, and the actual tax revenue is indeed 400 million silver dollars, but the government's investment in road construction has exceeded 1 billion! There are other expenses and salaries of government personnel.
Where did the gap come from? It's all borrowed money.
Sheng Huaixuan and Yang Xiaolin have said many times, let him not borrow so much money, don't be in a hurry to do some things, what are you going to do when this country is in debt? Yang Xiaolin didn't listen to them either, in his opinion, this is called advanced consumption, as long as you French dare to continue to borrow, I dare to continue to spend! In his plan, he also hoped that next year it would be best to borrow more than 100 million yuan from Britain and France to carry out China's basic construction of people's livelihood.
For example, our hospitals really need to be improved, we should give a little care to the old people who have no one to rely on, and we should make the social security system a little better. Also, Commander Yang's promotion of tractors has been put on the bill, Chinese farmers have just had their own land, and if they want to buy it, there must be a subsidy policy, and the subsidy money has really not been settled.
He really didn't think about it. The French didn't rush it, so what else did I think about? It's not good to borrow money to get by, you have to look at other people's faces. If Britain and France want to continue to lend money to themselves, then China must be a thug this time.
In the words of gentlemen, it is the fulfillment of obligations. How to fulfill this obligation, but you have to make up your own mind.
"Mr. Bowo, don't get excited, I didn't say that I would not send troops, I just said that I didn't want to interfere in the internal affairs of Russia."
Yang Xiaolin's words really made Bao Wo a little puzzled, is there a difference between not interfering in Russia's internal affairs and not sending troops? At least not now, in Mr. Bowau's opinion. Because Mr. Boward did not know that there is another way of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries in this world, and that practice is called peacekeeping.
"My proposal is still the same, and everything must be resolved by political negotiation as the only means and principle. But the deterioration of the situation in Russia has already taken a toll on many Russian civilians. It has also created an element of instability for neighbouring countries. At this time we must send troops, not to interfere with the Russians' choice of the fate of their country, but to stabilize the current turbulent situation and to ensure the safety of ordinary Russian citizens. ”
Bauvo's eyes were wide open! Mu Mo's face was shocked as he smoked his cigar, and Mr. Sadaoyi stared at Yang Xiaolin as if he was looking at someone he had never seen before. The expressions of the gentlemen were wonderful, and they were really a little impressed by Yang Xiaolin now. Sa Daoyi was very remorseful in his heart, why didn't he think of carrying this banner in the first place?
If when he formed the coalition army, he said that it was for the stability of China's situation and the maintenance of peace in China, firstly, he would be absolutely morally defensible, and secondly, even if he lost, he could retreat with his whole body. There will be no negative impact internationally.
This beast is simply too clever! He is sure that the term and this approach of peacekeeping will be a fig leaf for war for a long time to come.
Yang Xiaolin continued: "I suggest that the British side immediately take the lead and jointly issue a statement to explain to the people of the whole world the purpose of this troop dispatch. And then we'll be right away, and there's a couple of things I want you to help with. First, the Chinese troops will not fly our battle flag when they enter Russia, and we need to make a new banner so that others will know that we are here to maintain peace. Second. If we encounter some extreme armed forces that want to attack us, we will take the necessary means of self-defense, and we ask for the understanding of all countries. ”
Bauvo apparently came back to his senses at this time, and immediately said: "Of course! I don't think there seems to be any reason why we should refuse to uphold such a noble cause as peace. Mr. Sadaoyi. What do you think? ”
Sa Daoyi then nodded: "Yes, London will not have any opinions." Commander Yang, can you tell me definitively when China plans to send troops? ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled: "I can give an order right away." Chinese troops will be ready in the shortest possible time. However, I hope that you will not be left alone with the supplies needed for this peacekeeping operation. Also, it's not a matter for us alone. Every country should send someone to join it, especially Japan. ”
Speaking of this, his eyes turned, and this time the Japanese Abe Shotaro did not come, apparently because the British side may have taken into account the contradictions between China and Japan, or the British wanted to intensify the contradictions between China and Japan.
"As a powerful country in Asia, Japan should play an active role in international affairs and regional security, and I will immediately extend an invitation to the Japanese side to maintain the peacekeeping force, mainly by the Chinese and Japanese troops."
Sa Daoyi's eyes kept looking at Yang Xiaolin, and after he finished speaking, Sa Daoyi and Bao Wo exchanged opinions, and then stretched his head in front of Mu Mo to discuss it, until Mu Mo nodded lightly, he said to Yang Xiaolin: "Commander Yang, are you sure you want to invite Japan to participate?" You must know that on the issue of the Far East, China and Japan are already contradictory, and I am worried that if you let the Japanese troops intervene, the contradiction will be deepened. ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled: "You are very right, the territorial division between China and Japan and Russia in the Far East has not yet been completed, but I think your worries are unnecessary, because the purpose of our military operation this time is not to seize territory, but to maintain peace." I believe that the Japanese side will not do things that should not be done. ”
Sa Daoyi shook his head slightly, and then smiled self-deprecatingly: "Commander Yang, I can only say that I hope so." Your conditions are not too much at all, I think we will be able to get back to you right away, and if you can, you can now prepare for the army. ”
Mr. Sa Daoyi said that he hoped so, and this sentence has two meanings, the first is that he hopes that Japan will not do what it should not do, as Yang Xiaolin said. And another meaning is that I hope Yang Xiaolin is telling the truth.
He really didn't believe in Yang Xiaolin, but now as long as China is willing to send troops, it will be a big victory. (To be continued......)
