Ye Kun explained very carefully for a long time, and Gu Wei really gained a lot, and finally understood the logic in it.

The country trains diplomats in a typical way, that is, to shape a person into a tough hawk image or a pliable dove image.

Perhaps ordinary people can only remember the image of a few high-ranking officials at the top of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but cannot remember the people below, so they feel that the position and image of diplomats are not important - but this is a huge misunderstanding.

Because this image is not intended for the domestic population, but for foreign professional analysts. As long as the other party's think tank believes it, this kind of work is not in vain.

To give an easy-to-understand example, just like in "The Three-Body Problem", everyone scolds Our Lady for harming all mankind - just because she is weak and incompetent, she doesn't dare to press the deterrent button that will let the two star systems die together after becoming a "sword bearer", so the earth is finished.

(Those who have not watched "The Three-Body Problem" can imagine that the head of state of one side of the United States and the Soviet Union who held the nuclear button during the Cold War saw the other side's nuclear bomb flying, because he could not bear the destruction of the earth and did not fight back, resulting in the destruction of his own motherland.) A nature. ）

But if you really analyze it, Cheng Xinzhen pressed the deterrence button, is it the best choice - obviously not, because after she pressed it, the result was still that the two star systems died together.

Therefore, the most responsible person for "The Three-Body Problem" is not Cheng Xin, but the stupid people who chose Cheng Xin.

If it were to continue to be someone with an iron-blooded hawkish image like Luo Ji or Vader as the "sword bearer", and let the Three-Body People believe that "this is a ruthless person who dares to take revenge on the destruction of two galaxies", then the war would not have broken out in the first place.

In real politics, you can often see how Americans have changed their secretaries of state again, and how they are. As everyone knows, it is not necessarily that the later secretary of state did a better job than the previous one.

It may be that it is just that the country needs a hawkish image at the beginning, and then the secretary of state who is branded as a hawk. If you need a pigeon in two years, then change the pigeon.

When it comes to himself, when the country needs to be pro-American and anti-China, even the prime minister can be replaced. When it comes to being pro-China and distancing the United States (it is impossible to be anti-American, at most it is sparse American), it will be changed back.

In fact, the head of government of the country is much weaker than the head of government of other major powers. That's because to a large extent, it's just that this face is needed to represent the degree of tilt of the current policy to the outside world.

As Yuval Harari put it: the state, the nation, the company, the most important thing about these things is not the physical entities that make up their substance, but the "community of human imagination" behind them.

The most important thing is not what you can do, but your credit card, convincing the entire collaborative network of the outside community that you can do –

Especially in this society where the division of labor is becoming more and more refined, even if you are a scientist, you are really talented and learn, and it seems that you can be the most objective and do not need to be recognized by outsiders.

But if you don't have a reputation and reputation, you can only do miscellaneous work for the big guys, otherwise you won't even be able to apply for the first pot of gold scientific research funds, and the project won't be able to stand up.

……

Specific to Gu Biao, it is said that he is only 16 years old and has no stereotype.

But it is precisely because he has not yet highlighted his own value that the media resources that have been invested in him cannot be abandoned.

Especially the front-page genuine articles published in Renren Daily.

In China, in those days, if a person expressed certain attitudes in articles to this extent, he would persist for a lifetime. Because he has already become a model of the tree, if the personality collapses one day, wouldn't it be a waste of the propaganda resources of the national propaganda department?

To put it mildly, the current value of Gu Biao's whole person is not worth the price of a full-page article on the front page of "Renren Daily".

Seeing that Gu Wei understood thoroughly, Ye Kun further lowered his voice, and almost whispered in his ear:

"Therefore, a random line was drawn on it, and some comrades who were previously known for being 'tough' in the diplomatic mouth were adjusted. It's not about not using them, it's about using them in a more appropriate place.

I also just heard about the latest secret supreme directive - to keep the light and make a difference. After the battle with the Vietnamese, we were completely open to construction. Politically, it is absolutely obscure, and it is necessary to make a difference in the economy and science and technology.

If foreigners want to fight for face ideologically, they should give them face and tout and praise, as long as they are willing to give real resources and technology to these benefits. Even a leader at the vice-national level like Geng Xiang has to be transferred from the diplomatic mouth to the mouth of the Military Commission, so what is your small transfer? ”

Gu Biao smiled and said: "Therefore, the main job of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future is to welcome people with a smile." And I'm a person who has been labeled as 'fighting for reason, not giving an inch', so I can only go to the department that 'makes a difference'? This is also quite good, just what I want. ”

Ye Kun's face turned red, and he wanted to scold Gu Biao for having no conscience, but he finally held back: "After that, when you graduate, we may not be colleagues in the same department!"

"I know. Gu Biao blurted out heartlessly.

"You ......" Ye Su was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Gu Biao realized the embarrassment at this time, and hurriedly eased: "It's not what happened to my colleagues, we are still comrades-in-arms, and we can also fight together and help each other on different fronts - you are responsible for Taoguang and Yanghui, and I am responsible for making a difference." Girls are not suitable for fierce work, and men and women are not very good at weaving......"

As a matter of fact, many people in later generations felt that the people who came out of the Department of Foreign Affairs were weak because of the weakness of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for some years, and this is a major misunderstanding -- when cultivating talents, it is actually an eagle and a pigeon.

It was only the ministry that needed pigeons, so the eagle was transferred to other less conspicuous fronts.

But those who really know will find out: before and after Li Shufu's Geely Automobile acquired Volvo, why was Volvo replaced by the president of the Department of Foreign Affairs University?

Or maybe Deutsche Bank was a big stake in HNA, and a pawn with the same position also emerged......

And many, many other executives who look like foreign companies in their names, but in fact the majority shareholder behind them is a Chinese company, and those executives that ordinary people don't notice......

These are all the children of the hawkish diplomatic academy who play a mediating role on the economic, trade, technological, and other fronts of "making a difference."

Of course, with Gu Wei's temper, even if he goes to those fronts, he will definitely not be willing to work for the country, and in the end, he will inevitably be the boss of the line.

But no matter how he starts anew, it must be right to help and encompass some younger students who will control state-owned foreign investment projects in the future.

……

In the face of Gu Wei's remarks that "girls are not suitable for fierce work", Ye Kun did not answer immediately.

Instead, he was silent for a while, sighed and asked, "Do you like ladies?"

"Not really," Gu Biao hurriedly denied, "I haven't thought about this yet." ”

After being in contact for so long, Gu Wei felt that the main problem of Ye Kun was that he was too politically sensitive, and because he lacked good friends from his peers since he was a child, he was cold and sullen to a certain extent.

But in essence, she is still a good girl who is not pretentious.

If Ye Kun was not a child of a high-ranking cadre and would not put pressure on Gu Wei's class, he could actually consider it.

But now, I can only keep my distance as much as possible, hoping that the other party can see the gap between the door and the door to the door for themselves.

has a mature soul from a man in his previous life, Gu Biao knows: For girls in this kind of family, even when the other party is young and ignorant, he will tell you in person that he wants to "ignore the results, make a vigorous scene, and just ask for what he once had".

That is also unbelievable.

In the end, it will definitely make a big fuss and you won't be able to get out.

Ye Wei thought that Gu Biao would not even be with her for an internship next semester, but Gu Biao never said anything, and he was very depressed in his heart.

After eating the cake and roast goose, the two went back to the bedroom in silence.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no roommate in the house, Ye Kun covered the back of his head with a pillow, and hid in the quilt and cried secretly for a while.

Intense final exams, which lasted for a whole week.

On the day of the exam, Ye Kun received a notice to prepare for the visit, and he was going to be quarantined the next day.

For Ye Kun, this winter vacation is completely gone, but the advantage is that she can go to the United States to play.

Gu Biao was a little free here, and the ministry just said that he should not rush home during the winter vacation, there might still be someone who wanted to see him, and he could leave only after arranging everything.

At the time of parting, Gu Wei still went to see Ye Su off very righteously.

It was also at this moment that Gu Biao discovered that this time the sophomore students of the Foreign Affairs Academy, only Ye Kun was given the task of carrying bags and doing chores to accompany the visit.

Ye Kun didn't tell him this before. So much so that Gu Biao felt that there might be at least two or three of them like the last polemic visit to Eastern Europe.

"So you were the only one who went? Gu Biao pretended to analyze it easily, which can be regarded as a compliment to Ye Kun.

"I know what you're trying to say, but I'm guessing how much my origins play a role in this. Ye Kun seems to have figured out the reason why Gu Biao kept his distance from her in the past few days, and at this moment, he was about to part, and he said a lot of private things.

"I won't hide it from you, in fact, I knew the chief when I was a child, and I called him grandpa. Ten years later, when the chief was released to the south, my grandfather sent someone to protect him and let him stay in the military district headquarters. That's why the ministry trusts me.

I told you that day that you might not be able to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after graduation, but you were not angry but happy. Later, I finally saw through it: You are not a temper who is willing to be an obedient official all your life! I am afraid that if you are contaminated with the children of high-ranking cadres like me, you will not be free. ”

Gu Biao did not answer.

Ye Kun slapped him on the chest: "Speak! Do big men dare to think and admit it!"

Gu Biao shook his head helplessly: "I don't know how to say it." ”

Ye Kun: "You just answer me positively - if I were the child of a worker's family, you would ...... ...... with me Do you want to be more intimate with me?"

"Maybe you think about it, but you're really good in every way. Really, you're a good girl. Gu Biao's eyes flickered.

"Okay, then you still have a conscience, I'm leaving. I owe you a favor, I will pay it back, even if we don't work together in the future, you can still find me if you are in trouble. Ye Kun turned his head and got into the red flag car.

Who made her not know what a good person card is.

When Gu Biao returned to school, he waited for a notice the next day, asking him to go to a certain general office to attend a mobilization lecture before the adjustment with a group of other formal cadres who were to be adjusted.
