Chapter 168 The Americans' wishful thinking
Chapter 168 Americans' wishful thinking
On the third day of March, the collision incident not only puts Sino-US relations in a major crisis, but also puts the whole world under the cover of the clouds of war.
Just when the whole world was at a loss, Hillary met Zeng Lingfeng again.
As soon as we met, Zeng Lingfeng didn't care whether he respected the lady or not, and did not give Hillary a good face. No matter what the differences within the United States were, you expressed the meaning of reconciliation to me. Then he turned around and came out. Isn't this a slap in the face?
Moreover, after the incident, for two days, Americans didn't give up any farts and left me Zeng Lingfeng here. Are you the god of will? Give me a warning?
When Hillary saw Zeng Lingfeng's face unwillingness, she knew that Zeng Lingfeng must be extremely unhappy at this moment, and this matter was indeed unauthorized by Americans. So, as soon as she met, she bowed to Zeng Lingfeng and said, "Mr. Zeng, I am really sorry. I can't do anything about what happened these days."
This is to be honest. Although she is the US Secretary of State, she does not have enough say in the US political circles or the military. Just like when she comes to Zeng Lingfeng to express the goodwill of the White House, she is just a soundtrack. What really determines the major events in the US is not the US State Department or Obama in the White House, but the US Congress, the bigwigs hiding behind the scenes.
"Secretary of State, I have accepted your apology. However, it is not you who need to apologize; but I am not the one who should accept the apology." Zeng Lingfeng said lightly.
"Mr. Zeng, this is wrong. I apologize to you. This is my duty, because I have not been able to give you a reply for so long. However, the United States should not apologize for this matter, right?" Hillary said seriously.
"Secretary of State, I am a little puzzled by what you said. Shouldn't the United States apologize to the Chinese people in this series of matters?" Zeng Lingfeng said in surprise.
"Yes, you Chinese have a very good saying, "It's not just our responsibility to slap apart." Hillary said.
"This is strange. Your President and Secretary of State have been unwilling to accept my country's separatists, regardless of China's opposition. Then, they once again ignored the feelings of our people and insisted on selling weapons to some of the Taiwan authorities in China. Are you right? Then, do you admit the Sino-US Joint Communiqué?" Zeng Lingfeng asked.
"This... we have something wrong with this. But, your China's reaction on this is too intense, right?" Hillary said with some confidence.
"We Chinese have reacted too fiercely. Secretary of State, you can say that. I think if we change our position, the Americans will even start a war directly, right?" Zeng Lingfeng sneered.
"This is impossible. We in the United States have no dissidents, nor do we have American territory that is not under the rule of the US government." Hillary said proudly.
"So that's it. Then Secretary of State, I can tell you solemnly that I will no longer act as a mediator of disputes between the two countries, and there is no need for China and the United States to mediate again." Zeng Lingfeng's face changed immediately.
"Uh...Mr. Zeng, I'm sorry, I've made apologize to you." Hillary's face changed when she saw Zeng Lingfeng's reaction.
"Secretary of State, we Chinese have a saying that you can eat randomly, but you can't speak randomly. Especially as the US Secretary of State, you can't expose it with just a word of a word." Zeng Lingfeng didn't let go, "And I think the previous sentence should be the words of the Secretary of State. But what I don't understand is how the dissidents in our country came from, and how Taiwan is not under the rule of the Chinese government. I think you should have some understanding of this than next year. I don't know if you can solve my doubts?"
Hillary looked embarrassed.
"Mr. Zeng, I once again solemnly apologize to you for my inappropriate remarks just now. I really don't want this to affect the negotiations between China and the United States. Moreover, I think Mr. Zeng, you are not willing to close the door to peace talks between the two countries and move towards war, right?" After a while, Hillary said again.
Zeng Lingfeng said calmly: "Secretary of State, as you said, I do not want war, and my motherland does not want war. This is the norm that our Chinese nation has always adhered to for thousands of years. Our Chinese nation is a peace-loving nation. However, we are not afraid of war. No matter at any time, war will not make the Chinese people retreat."
Hillary smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, Mr. Zeng, I know that the Chinese nation is a great nation, a nation as great as the American nation. However, at this time, we should still talk about how to resolve the differences between our two great nations."
Zeng Lingfeng smiled faintly, regardless of how Hillary boasted about the so-called great American nation, and said, "Then the Secretary of State thinks, how should the current situation be resolved?"
Hillary said, "Well, let me talk about a prerequisite for solving the problem, that is, China must first release the Chinese soldiers seized by your side, and at the same time return the damaged aircraft, and compensate for it. In addition, China must immediately stop military mobilization and allow the three aircraft carrier formations concentrated in the Taiwan Strait to return to their original location. On this basis, the two sides will conduct friendly consultations."
Zeng Lingfeng kept listening to Hillary's words quietly, although he was extremely angry, he had no expression.
After Hillary finished speaking, she saw Zeng Lingfeng’s expressionless face and asked, “Mr. Zeng, do you have any objection?”
Zeng Lingfeng looked at Hillary with a strange look and said, "I have no objection to this because we have no need to continue talking. In addition, I personally give your Secretary of State a suggestion, I think you should go to a psychiatric hospital for a check-up."
Indeed, the Americans have a good plan. If China is still the old society before liberation, they will be slaughtered by the Americans.
Hillary's pretty face turned blue and white, and she was indescribably wonderful.
However, it seemed that her control was very good, so she finally endured it and said, "Mr. Zeng, if you have any different opinions, you can put it forward and let's discuss it again. I think here is here now, just for the peace talks between the two parties, and determine a premise? Without discussion, how can we reach an agreement?"
Zeng Lingfeng said: "In the series of things that happened before, you Americans are the ones who are in the wrong. In 1978, when China and the United States established diplomatic relations, the United States had already declared that the Government of the People's Republic of China is China's only legal government. However, whether it was the previous act of President Obama or your Secretary of State to meet Lai Pi Lama, it was contrary to it. In the case of the collision between China and the United States, you Americans are also in the wrong, and your reconnaissance plane was also injuring your espionage activities caused by your reconnaissance plane invading our territorial waters and airspace. It is obviously impossible not to apologize or apologize deeply. Anyway, people and planes are in China now. As long as President Obama is calm, let alone going home before Easter, it is not a rare thing to spend Christmas in China."
"Why? Then what do you say about mobilizing a large number of troops to the Taiwan Strait? Also, what do you say about the plane we damaged?" Hillary said he could not understand.
"Haha, Secretary of State, since your country recognizes that Taiwan is part of our country, no matter what happens between the mainland and Taiwan, it seems that it is our own family affairs? It seems that the Americans are not the turn of the Chinese people to worry about. As for the damage to your reconnaissance aircraft, this is your responsibility. First of all, you shouldn't invade my airspace. Secondly, the reason for the loss is also caused by your reconnaissance aircraft that actively hit our fighter jets. This is not our fault, right? It's like you punch me, but I'm wearing armor, which hurts your hand. Could it be that you still have to accompany you for medical expenses?" Zeng Lingfeng said coldly.
Hillary was speechless.
Fortunately, the previous incident was a bit disgusting to the Chinese people after all, and it was nothing more than apologizing for a while now. However, this impact incident made the Americans lose both the inner world and the face, which was really depressed.
"Face is a matter of face." Zeng Lingfeng pointed out very deeply, "China is not the old China before liberation, nor is it a country like Iraq, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia. It will be attacked and can be at the mercy of the Americans. China has nuclear bombs, long-range launch vehicles, and global all-weather super bombers. Any cargo can be transported to the United States in any form in the shortest time. Do you understand? Therefore, Chinese people will not buy American accounts. Chinese people need Americans to publicly apologize and admit their mistakes." Zeng Lingfeng stretched out his hand, wandered in front of Sheila, and said little by little.
After a look at Hillary, Zeng Lingfeng said: "At present, judging from the attitudes of the White House and the Pentagon, it is far from China's requirements, so we are here to argue with each other. Apart from being worthy of the salary paid by both governments, it has no meaning. I think everyone should discuss with their respective governments and put forward a more constructive opinion."
After hearing Zeng Lingfeng's words, Hillary became a little enlightened and thought that if this is the case, the White House's attitude would obviously be wrong. It seems that the White House needs to make a more pragmatic decision.
So Hillary said goodbye and left.
When Zeng Lingfeng returned to his villa in the suburbs of New York, Hamdan and Mariam were sitting in the living room and talking. During this period, Sino-US relations were in a stalemate, and they both seemed a little idle.
Seeing Zeng Lingfeng come back, Mariam asked: "Zeng, how are the matter being discussed?"
"Oh, nothing." Zeng Lingfeng replied, "At present, there is no agreement at all. I asked them to go home and take a shower and go to bed. After the White House and the Pentagon have a more pertinent and pragmatic attitude, the two sides will restart the negotiations."
"Why can't the agreement be reached? Is it focused on compensation?" Hamdan asked.
Zeng Lingfeng replied: "No, mainly because the black president of the Americans not only does not want to apologize, but also wants China to compensate the losses of the US reconnaissance aircraft. No one can accept such conditions, so there is no need to discuss them at all."
"Ah? There is something like this? Obama confirmed that his head is normal?" Mariam couldn't believe that Obama would make such an outrageous request. This is because of sincerity in peace talks. It's simply a humiliating person from Hong Guoguo. Do you really treat the Chinese as Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghans?
"The black president of the United States looks stupid. He used to think he just looked like this, but he didn't expect his head to be like this." Hamdan also said with a smile.
Zeng Lingfeng smiled and said, "This is normal. In fact, many people who are leaders have problems."
"How do you say this?" asked Mariam.
"The reason why great men are great men is always different from ordinary people. Some people have concluded from a medical perspective that the heads of state are basically sick. In addition to physical illnesses, different symptoms of venting under excessive pressure. Some like to get angry, some rely on alcohol anesthesia, and some demand over sexual intercourse. Sometimes, these symptoms will cross the same person." Zeng Lingfeng said to Mariam, who looked curious, "For example, US President Washington, he has always been described as a kind and kind
Gentleman. But in fact, his temper was very irritable. His special painter wrote in his memoir that if he was born in the forest, I think he would become the most fierce person in the brutal tribe. When he was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, once several drunk soldiers were drunk and crazy at the headquarters. Washington rushed out and punched and kicked. After becoming president, Washington's hot temper remained unchanged, and his skill in cursing was quite impressive. His secretary said that the most terrifying experience in his life was hearing Washington's curse."
In fact, during World War II, the bad temper of the British meritorious Prime Minister Churchill also made his assistant complain, saying that his performance was worse than a tyrant. Churchill himself admitted that he said that the disdain or criticism he heard from any British critic used to express his disdain or criticism was simply a witch compared to the language he used to use. His rudeness actually spread to a parrot he raised. Under Churchill's influence, the parrot swears. After Churchill's death, the parrot was adopted by the owner of a pet store. It even swears to the children who visited the pet store, and the owner of the pet store had to take it home for him.
Another type of alcoholic is alcoholics, such as Yeltsin. When Yeltsin visited the United States, he got drunk in the hotel he stayed at, and then stood in the street outside the building wearing only shorts and stopped a taxi to buy pizza. The next day, Yeltsin got drunk again. This time he ran to the basement of the hotel and strolled around, making everyone unable to find him everywhere. In Germany, Yeltsin also made a joke because of drunkenness. At that time, he walked staggering to a military band commander at the scene, grabbed the baton and directed himself.
Another type of head of state is the type of head of state who always suffers from flaws when power is not accompanied by beautiful women. For example, among the successive presidents of the United States, as many as 16 people have been exposed for sex scandals. As a founding hero of the United States, Washington is also a nickname. He maintained an extramarital affair with his friend's wife for eleven years. After all, his title of "Potomac's Stallion" is not in vain.
US President Harding also maintained an extramarital affair with his friend's wife for fifteen years. After being elected president, Harding liked to be in the White House. Once, his wife was almost caught and raped on the spot. What's even more outrageous is that the police raided the hotel where Harding had a tryst with his mistress. He wore his mistress's coat and dressed up as a woman before escaping the disaster.
However, the performance of all the US presidents combined is not as good as one Kennedy. At that time, a book about Kennedy had classified his mistress, including movie stars, socialites, call girls, mothers, stewardess, beauty attendants, White House aides, secretary, campaign assistants, and friends' wives. All of them are added together, which is enough to strengthen the company. Some historians even used the word "门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门门
Of course, there are also many leaders who are truly sick. The assassination in 1981 left US President Reagan with serious sequelae and often forgetting the names of his assistants and relatives. The following year, when he was in talks with a general in Brazil, he actually proposed to toast the Bolivian people. Another year later, people found that he fell asleep frequently at cabinet-type meetings. These things happened during his first term.
There are many physical conditions like Reagan, some even worse than him. Despite being plagued by all kinds of illnesses, the heads of state still hope to stay on the political stage until their death. However, the people do not think so. After all, the exercise of power requires their spirit to be concentrated and their health should be stable and lasting.
However, there is a basic fact in the Chinese and foreign political arena, that is, the politics of the elderly. Most leaders are old and they are old. When people get old, their bodies begin to weaken and various diseases begin to appear. What should I do? Then I can only use fraud to block the mouths of the people. Louis XV said long ago that if I cannot conceal it, I will not rule. Therefore, myocardial infarction is beautified into digestive disorders, and malignant tumors are packaged as necessary as possible, such as colds, chronic bronchitis, etc.
Zeng Lingfeng said to Mariam: "The head of state made a glorious appearance in front of the public for several minutes. I don't know how many doctors are busy behind their backs because they are not ordinary patients. They are a group of patients who have a significant responsibility to the people of the country."
Mariam was sweating profusely when she heard this, which was too horrible.
Zeng Lingfeng looked at Hamdan meaningfully and said, "Hamdan, you must take good care of your health."
"Uh..." Hamdan said speechlessly to the sky.
Chapter completed!
