Chapter 152: Nobody Cares
According to the general diplomatic procedure, there is a change in the personnel of the top leader in a sovereign state, such as a change in the position of president or prime minister. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The country usually submits detailed written documents to the countries with which it has diplomatic relations, notifying each country that it has undergone a new round of changes and substitutions.
Because in modern society, diplomatic events are almost the most important thing in the daily affairs of all countries. In today's globalized world, no country dares to claim to be independent. Most of the time it's an interdependent relationship, I need you and you need me.
It is precisely this interdependence, or even dependence, that fosters a delicate balance between the great powers. In particular, regime change in every superpower, or even just a regional power, will attract global attention.
Because what different policies will be brought about by the new leader in power, and what kind of impact it will have on the economic life and security of the international community, these are all things that national leaders, as well as many businessmen, need to consider.
In big countries such as China, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Russia, every time a new leader comes to power, he brings a new leadership team or cabinet. The first thing the bigwigs need to do is often start a foreign visit.
Declaring one's attitude toward each country, especially those that are important to oneself, is handled by an important foreign minister such as the foreign minister or the secretary of state, even if it is not a leader such as the president.
Of course, the social circles of modern society are actually very clearly divided. Large countries have their own social circles, such as the G20 summit and the G8 summit. These high-profile clubs set policies that shape the direction of the world, but they don't greet any other country outside the circle.
If you don't enter the social circle of the big countries, you can only let the big countries formulate policies at will, regardless of whether they are good or even bad for your country. You either suffer or die. The choice is as simple and crude as that.
Of course, it's the big powers, the great powers and the superpowers who are busy with foreign affairs. Do you look at a small emirate in West Africa that changes its leader, and how many countries care?
As far as Tuvalu is concerned, they are not even as good as the small backward countries of West Africa, because at least these countries receive tens of billions of dollars a year from the United Nations. The United Nations has never given Tuvalu a penny.
But regardless of the form of diplomacy, diplomatic rhetoric is what needs to be done. Because only after you have submitted your credentials and the other party has returned your diplomatic credentials, can your regime change be considered legitimate and globally recognized.
Why did Katie go to such a great length, because Tuvalu was a globally recognized sovereign state, and the country was so small that it had no sense of existence.
Katie silently prayed in her heart that everything would go well. Now that the whole plan has reached the final critical step, as long as this level is passed, then the establishment of a mutant nation will be a certainty!

Downing Street, England, is one of the most famous streets in the UK. Because it is the center of British political power, especially 10 Downing Street, which is the official residence of the British Prime Minister.
As the leader of a big country, the British Prime Minister is very busy. There are countless things to deal with every day, and no matter what the outside world says about Britain as a-stirring stick for Europe, the British Prime Minister never thinks so.
The European Union was already on the verge of solving its problems due to the European debt crisis, and the subsequent Brexit incident made the EU even worse. Recently, Britain has pulled France and Germany to bypass the European Space Agency, and the three countries have teamed up to build a new space agency for the mining of helium-3 on the moon.
At this point, the European Union has actually begun to disintegrate internally, and the European integration process has been declared a failure. The current EU is barely trying to make ends meet. When France and Germany, the two most important members of the EU, start to turn away from the EU, what future do you expect from this union? Especially since there are still a group of lazy people in the EU who rely on EU welfare, such as Greece or something.
The current British Prime Minister is busy holding conference calls with the leaders of France and Germany. Because the new Eastern European Union, with Latvia as the main body, began to rise. This made the three countries begin to have some sense of urgency. The British Prime Minister proposed that Britain, France, and Germany form a strategic alliance.
At this time, Tuvalu's diplomatic papers were officially sent to the British Foreign Office. It stands to reason that when a country's leader changes such a major event, the prime minister should personally decide the purpose. But the commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs just glanced at Tuvalu's name and said, "Tuvalu, what is this place? Their president has changed?"
Well, the presence of this country cannot even be remembered by professional diplomats for a while. Other commissioners replied after reading the information: "A small country in the Pacific with a population of less than 12,000 people will sink in 2030." ”
Hearing such an answer, the commissioner in charge of processing the diplomatic credentials rolled his eyes: "Submit to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Communications, in accordance with the official rhetoric, congratulate the country on the election of an excellent president, and my country will sincerely believe with enthusiasm that Tuvalu will usher in a brilliant future under the new president's deputy." ”
Well, this commissioner didn't even want to glance at the president's name and threw it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which deals with these things. All he had to do was file it and give it to the Foreign Secretary.
Is this a trivial matter still being sent to Downing Street? Is this waiting for the prime minister to cut himself?
………………
And in the United States, the same documents were received by the assistants of the Secretary of State's office. One of the new deputy secretary of state's aides, a recent graduate of Yale University, could easily get to the White House for his first job.
This is a good job that other students envy. So this young man named Bob did it very seriously. Now, for example, he solemnly knocked on the door of the Undersecretary of State's office with the credentials presented by Tuvalu.
"Please come in. "The Deputy Secretary of State has always been very polite, both to his subordinates and to his superiors, which is his personal character. The deputy secretary of state is almost sixty years old, which is estimated to be the highest position he can climb in his life. He is content now, and one cannot be too greedy.
Now he doesn't care much about the small gains and losses in power, and instead begins to think about cultivating the next generation in his family. For example, the young man in front of him, Bob is his cousin. At a family gathering, he met this young man, a young man at Yale.
Mr. Deputy Secretary of State had the idea of cultivating him, and the old gentleman also wanted to make his family a political family. When he encounters young people with potential, he will not be stingy with training. That's why Bob was able to become one of the assistant to the deputy secretary of state when he had just graduated from college.
It was a rare opportunity for him to learn politics under other assistants and secretaries.
"Mr. Secretary, here is a letter of foreign affairs. It was a diplomatic note on the change of regime in Tuvalu. "When Bob wasn't the secretary of state, he never referred to the deputy secretary of state as a title, he was always careful to remove the subordinate.
The Secretary of State took the paper from Bob and frowned for a moment, as if he was thinking about where Tuvalu was, and then he suddenly thought about it. The country's previous president scolded the U.S. representative at the United Nations General Assembly and was asked to leave the meeting.
Looking at the document on the table, Mr. Secretary of State had no desire to look through it, he just smiled and said to Bob, "Do you know how big the country is in Tuvalu?"
"Twenty-six square kilometres, sir. "Looks like Bob did his homework.
"What about the population?"
"More than eleven thousand, sir. ”
Hearing Bob's answer, the Secretary of State was a little helpless, this young junior is very smart, but sometimes he is not flexible enough, which is also the part he needs to be trained.
"Do you think it's worth having a secretary of state, or even a president of the United States, spend a dozen minutes, or even half an hour, going through their diplomatic documents and then give them a handwritten reply in a small country with a population of 11,000 people and a land area of less than 26 square kilometers?"
Bob hesitated: "But sir, this is a sovereign country. ”
Mr. Secretary shook his head: "It doesn't matter Bob, unless he's Monaco or the Vatican." Otherwise, such a small country is insignificant. Remember, Bob, an assistant at work is about helping the boss share the workload, not increase it. ”
Bob immediately remembered the phrase, and the words and deeds of the Secretary of State were more important than what was learned in any college book.
"So, don't you need to inform the president and anyone else about this?" asked Bob.
The deputy secretary of state shook his head: "No, you find a standard diplomatic rhetoric and send it back." Similar to the United States, the United States congratulated the country on the successful completion of the new generation of rights and expected the new leader to lead Tuvalu to new glory. Diplomatic rhetoric like that would be nice. "Why is this diplomatic rhetoric so similar to that of the British?
The deputy secretary of state stood up and straightened his outfit: "Bob, you still have a lot to learn." Later, you can help me arrange the car for the afternoon, and the president and I will participate in the Boy Scout Bandouts bazaar in Washington in the afternoon. When this is settled, you're messing with Tuvalu. ”
Throughout, the Deputy Secretary of State did not glance at Tuvalu's diplomatic papers. Because the diplomatic documents of these small countries are the same and have no value. At most, it is to cry poor in a different way and ask for foreign exchange assistance from big countries. He's seen so many of these things that he doesn't even feel comfortable looking at them now.
And more than Tuvalu, the Boy Scouts of Washington Boy Scouts cookie bazaar is much more important!
…………
Not only the United States and the United Kingdom, but also France, China, and Russia. Almost all of the countries to which Tuvalu's diplomatic note was addressed did not glance at the country's diplomatic rhetoric, and they treated it as if it did not exist.
And the diplomatic replies of all countries are cookie-cutter congratulations on a new round of power alternation, balabala's nonsense. I want to vomit after watching too much.
But for Katie and others, that's the best outcome! Because at this moment, the countries that have been sent diplomatic notes have recognized the legitimacy of the new regime in Tuvalu. Perhaps they simply did not notice that the new president of Tuvalu was a seventeen-year-old girl named Katie.
And Remy, who was watching everything with cold eyes on the side, smiled silently: "Charles, you and Magneto always have such big hearts. I always want to change the world all at once. And every time I think about too many things, I have too many worries. ”
"You two didn't think about starting from the subtleties and doing something really real like this girl. This time, the solution that this group of heads came up with was actually realized by this group of children. Remy also shook his head helplessly.
He felt that it was time to give Charles a phone call, and these children might be able to deal with these things in the early stage. But Remy knows that the real difficulty in the founding of the country is still to come.
There is no one who is smart enough and has real strength and appeal behind his back, and only relies on the enthusiasm of a group of young people, so it is likely to break the bloodstream.

In New York, it was already three o'clock in the night when Li Jie received a message from Charles, and he complained: "Is the quality of sleep so bad for older people?"
Charles was not in the mood to joke with Li Jie, he just said a simple sentence that directly woke up Li Jie: "My student Katie has established a legitimate sovereign state in the Pacific Ocean!"
