Chapter 366 Bilateral Cooperation Agreement

Cang Hao had imagined all kinds of scenes when he saw Lei Buze, Lei Buze might be arrogant or friendly, but he didn't expect Lei Buze to be so enthusiastic, which made Cang Hao a little embarrassed.

Cang Hao came directly according to the customs of the Chinese people: "Have you eaten, do you want to eat together?"

"Thank you for the invitation, but I'd better go back to the Prime Minister's Office to deal with official business......" Smiling, Lei Buze said again: "Originally, I wanted to ask Her Majesty for some instructions, but I didn't expect Her Majesty to have guests here, so I won't bother." ”

When Amelia heard this, she immediately said, "Wait a minute, what do you have to ask?"

"Is this ......" Lei Buze said a little embarrassed: "It's all a matter of our country's official business, since this time is not suitable, I will come back tomorrow morning to meet you." ”

What Lei Buze meant in and out of his words was that internal affairs were more or less confidential, and Cang Hao was an outsider after all, so it was inconvenient for him to be present.

Speaking of which, Rebzer's attitude is normal, but Amelia doesn't think so.

Amelia felt that Cang Hao had finally come here, and no matter what conspiracy Rebze had, Rebze should be exposed as soon as possible.

"Mr. Cang is definitely not an outsider, in fact, I am preparing to hire him as a royal advisor......" Amelia said with a smile: "So I think this is a good time, just so that Mr. Cang can familiarize himself with his role as soon as possible." ”

Cang Hao didn't know what a royal advisor was, but it was good that he suddenly got such a title.

Rebzer hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, it's simple...... During this time, I have reviewed that the reason why the civil war waged by the rebels has dragged on for so long is largely due to the fact that our country has been isolated from the outside world for a long time, and many people are not aware of our existence at all. If we can strengthen our contacts with the outside world, and if similar problems arise in the future, then the international community will be able to intervene as soon as possible, and we will not have a great loss. ”

Amelia asked sarcastically, "Do you think there will be another civil war in the kingdom?"

Rebzer was a little embarrassed: "I didn't mean that, but you have to be prepared for everything......"

"In the decades since the end of World War II, our country's policy has been to make ourselves a transparent presence in the international community, and although we have never taken the initiative to interact with the outside world at the political level, there are still normal economic and trade exchanges. We have so much oil, we always have to step out, and if there is no economic and trade exchanges, no one will buy our oil. After a pause, Amelia asked, "So I'd love to know how exactly you're going to strengthen your connection with the outside world?"

"Yes, we not only have an economy and trade, but we are also very developed, which is second to none among the countries in the region. After a pause, Rebzer continued: "I have a plan to visit a range ......of countries to strengthen political trust and understanding, and at the same time to promote our national image of Kakozhia to the world." ”

Amelia immediately asked, "So you are ready to negate our foreign policy for many years?"

"It can't be said to be a complete denial, but some changes have to be ......made," Lei Buze said slowly: "There is a saying that the Chinese people agree with - this time, that time. After the end of World War II, we kept a low profile because of the objective needs of that time, but now the times are different, and it is necessary for us to revise this policy. It should be said that with the development of the times and the continuous evolution of the international situation, our policies should be constantly adjusted. The reason why we keep ourselves in a high profile now, just like when we kept a low profile, is based on objective needs. ”

Rebzer's words were reasonable, and there was really no way to refute them, and Amelia didn't know what to say.

"I have spoken to the head of the council and the ministers in charge of various departments, and most of them agree with my idea. ”

Rebzer's words indirectly put pressure on Amelia, and if this matter is openly discussed in the government, it is obvious that Rebzer will win the support of the majority.

Amelia asked helplessly, "Are there any others?"

"Also, I think we should reflect on our relationship with Jezelca......" Rebzer said slowly as he observed Amelia's expression, "Jezelça is our neighbor by a strip of water, but we have had little contact over the years, and we have not been able to build political mutual trust, which makes us both hostile to each other. Some time ago, a war almost broke out on the border, which was caused by this lack of mutual trust. Of course, I don't say this to excuse Howell, who is just a short-sighted warlord who practices tyrannical rule in the country, and I have no good impression of this man. Moreover, we are not responsible for this conflict, and the entire responsibility lies with the side of Hovel and Jezelcha. However, he is our neighbor, and this is a reality that cannot be changed, and we must face it. ”

Amelia asked tentatively, "Do you want to strengthen bilateral relations with Jezelca?"

"Yes. Rebzer took out a stack of documents and respectfully placed them in front of Amelia: "I have drawn up a package of cooperation agreements for Her Majesty to review. ”

Amelia didn't bother to look at the so-called agreements, and sneered: "Needless to say, you must have also discussed this agreement with the majority leader of the parliament and the ministers of various departments." ”

Rebzer nodded: "Yes." ”

"Okay, I'll think about what you said......" Amelia waved her hand slightly: "It's nothing for you here, you can step down." ”

"Good night, Your Majesty. Lei Buze kissed Amelia's right hand respectfully again, and said goodbye to Cang Hao and Nie Jialin very warmly, and then left.

After Rebzer left, the Blood Lion mercenaries blocked the door of the restaurant again, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

"Did you hear that?" Amelia's emotions were a little out of control, "He is now proposing to cooperate with Jezelca, I said earlier that he was a spy sent by Holvey, and now his true nature is revealed!"

Cang Hao asked curiously, "Did you cooperate with Jezelcha in the past?"

"Nope. Amelia shook her head: "Jezelça is a poor country, there is not much we need there, and the quality of the local people is low, and we don't want to associate with it. What's more, Jezerca is not recognized by the state society, and no other country is willing to deal with them. If we cooperate with them bilaterally, it will inevitably affect our relations with Albania, after all, Albania considers Jezerca to be its sacred and inviolable territory, and we have absolutely no reason to offend Albania's neighbor for the sake of a poor ravine. ”

"Understood. Cang Hao nodded: "However, I think we should still take a look at the text of the agreement and then discuss it." ”

Amelia sighed: "Okay......"

The text of the agreement was written in Kakozhiya, which Cang Hao couldn't read at all, and Amelia acted as a translator.

In any country, this kind of agreement is classified until it is officially announced, but Amelia absolutely trusts Cang Hao and does not hesitate to let Cang Hao know everything.

However, even Amelia herself was stunned by this translation, because there was really no problem with this agreement.

All the provisions of the agreement are aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation between Kakozhia and Jezelca, and all cooperation is based solely on an equal footing.

Amelia feared that Rebzer would devise some unequal terms to betray the country's interests to Jezelca, but in fact it did not.

Most of these cooperation are mutually beneficial in terms of economy and trade, for example, Jezelça is not actually nothing, and the production of wool is of good quality. Rebzer proposed that Jezelça set up an offshore company in Kakozhia, and that Kakozhia would help sell Jezelcha's wool to large Western garment companies. In this matter, Kakozhia not only did not suffer losses, but was able to collect taxes.

For example, Jezelca's reduction of customs duties on Kakozhia is not only not harmful to Kakozhia's interests, but is also a good thing, because Kakozhia's goods can enter Jezelça without hindrance.

In addition, there are provisions to strengthen political cooperation and military mutual trust, such as the fact that the two sides are not defended within a certain area of the border. Since this kind of undefended defense is bilateral, it is not possible to say that Kakozhia will suffer because of it.

Obviously, Rebzer took into account Jezelca's special international status, and there was a special paragraph in the article stating that Kakozhia did not recognize Jezelça as a sovereign and independent state, and that the two sides would not send ambassadors to each other to establish diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level.

Overall, the terms of this agreement are the bare minimum for cooperation between the two countries, and Amelia's attitude is fully taken into account, so that Amelia can hardly find a reason to refuse.

Amelia suspected that there might be some loopholes in the clause, so she carefully read the clause from beginning to end, and finally managed to find one: "Kakozhia and Jezelça are exempt from visas for each other!"

There was no doubt that this would lead to an influx of Jezeltsa into Kakozhia, but Jezelça was too poor for the Kakozhia to be interested in going there.

If there is anything that these terms of the agreement do not work against Kakozhia, then this is the only one.

Even Nie Jialin said: "I really don't see anything wrong with these terms." ”

Cang Hao smiled coldly: "The problem with these clauses is big!"

Amelia hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that?"

"The content of the clause itself is not important, but the purpose of the clause. Cang Hao said word by word: "Although these terms are based on equal cooperation, if they are really fully implemented, they will turn Kakozhia and Jezelcha into economic communities." From then on, we will share weal and woe, and if Jezelcha encounters any problems, Kakozhia will also be implicated. ”
