Perhaps many officials will feel that the conclusion that "small countries as a whole are only worthy of sacrificing bargaining chips for the diplomacy of big countries" is a bit unacceptable, and they cannot understand that international diplomacy can really run so cruelly.

But history has proven time and time again that this is true.

For example, in many cases, the ideology of a small country is not determined by itself, but by the big country.

Towards the end of World War II, the Germans were almost driven away by the Greek Empire, the Greek and pro-Soviet forces.

However, the Czech Republic in Central Europe is very supportive of German-style capital values, and until the end of World War II, the bloody Battle of Budapest was over, and the Czech Republic still did not become popular.

Even according to the line in Qiu Fatzi's "Iron MU Speech" in 46 years: "From Cescin on the Baltic coast to Trieste on the Adriatic Sea, an iron MU has fallen" - then the Czech Republic should also return to the West, and Greece to the East. Because Prague is west of this line, and Athens is east of this line.

But what about the final historical outcome? As everyone knows, the Czech Republic was included in the Warsaw Pact camp during the Cold War, and its right-wing forces were even tragically defeated in Prague.

And Greece, which was originally so left, became the sphere of influence of the British, and the British repeatedly purged Greece and stabilized their positions.

The reason is that Churchill was most afraid of the liberation of the Soviet Union's sea power and its entry into the Mediterranean Sea - since the Crimean War in 1854, the British have been the most determined blockade of Russia in a hundred years, relying on the Turkish Strait to block the Russian sea power southward in the Black Sea.

And once Greece became the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union after World War II, then the Turkish Straits were directly bypassed, and the British were still playing fart. Therefore, in order to strictly prevent the Soviet maritime forces from entering the Mediterranean Sea and threatening the lifeblood of the British Empire, Churchill shared the spoils with Stallin and replaced the Czech Republic on the right with Greece on the left.

Then Churchill was in Greece with all kinds of high pressure, and Stelin was also in the Czech Republic.

The positions and interests of such small countries themselves do not matter at all. Under the game of bigwigs of the magnitude of the Anglo-Soviet dirty deal, it is simply not too easy to reverse the bloodbath of the internal conditions of a small country into another faction for the sake of the interests of a big country.

At this moment, standing in Gu Ao's position, if one day he needs to sell Argentina as a teammate for the sake of the motherland and his personal interests, he will not have any psychological burden, and he can only say that he is a dead friend and not a poor man.

Anyway, in the original history, President Galtieri was out after the war, and there was no value in friendship, so it was better to use waste.

Maybe after selling his teammates, Gu Biao will only silently feel guilty in his heart: "Maradona, Batistuta, Messi, Lao Tie can't stand it."

……

After exchanging news with Qin Guogang and making phone calls with friends in the ministry, Gu Biao went home from work.

On the way home, Gu Biao boiled water to consider a new question: What specific things can the chips on the Argentine side be exchanged for?

Gu Biao is not a person who is greedy for merit, if he just asks for merit and rewards for himself, then this incident is tantamount to a waste of resources.

He knew that even if he didn't do anything, history had not changed at all, and with the great courage of the great man, Xiangjiang would eventually return to the embrace of the motherland, which was the inevitability of history.

This big result does not require Gu Biao to work hard, and he will never dare to snatch even the slightest credit.

At the same time, even if the negotiation process between the two countries accelerates, it will not take more than a few months, and finally a formal joint communiqué will have to be made at the beginning of 84. Because the war in Argentina had long since ended at that time, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to rely on this bargaining chip to influence the content of the final communiqué.

What can be affected is at best the memorandum of intent that "the two sides have decided to resolve the issue of so-and-so through negotiations," which was negotiated this year.

Just a memorandum that serves as the tone for subsequent negotiations.

Fortunately, he had been thinking about this issue for a long time, so he quickly thought of some external, economic, trade and development benefits, which could be sought for the country (and even more so for himself), and were also suitable for being reflected in the memorandum of tone of the negotiations.

To do this, however, he also needed a colleague from the International Relations Research Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help him assist the leaders in "discovering" the despicable risk that the British might be laying mines.

Then, using Argentina's bargaining chips this time, when formulating the memorandum of the tone of the negotiations, some additional consensus was written into the memorandum, so that the Bretanians would not be disgusted with these small actions in the course of the next two years.

For others, it may be difficult to get to know an expert in the International Relations Research Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and convince that expert to gamble on his academic influence and write a top-secret reference.

But for Gu Biao, it's very simple.

Because since the topic of "On the Risk of Foreign-related Public Opinion Management in Foreign Affairs" in the "Foreign Affairs Review" before the winter vacation, Mina has been successfully recommended by President Liu to intern in the International Relations Research Office of the Ministry this semester through the verbal battle between the Chinese team and the Saudi Arabian team.

So, the problem is reduced to this: instruct Mina to write a top-secret reference according to his wishes.

Is it difficult?

For Gu Biao, the work of "persuasion" is simpler than eating and drinking.

If Tianyu doesn't take it, then I'm too sorry for the talent resources.

……

Night

After a whipping, Gu Biao hugged Mina, who was also a little haggard because of a day's work.

"Are you still used to the internship period lately?"

Mina swam there smoothly: "It's a little busy, I can hold on." ”

Gu Biao comforted with pity: "Then, can you spare some more energy?"

Mina turned over suddenly, and stared at Gu Biao affectionately and solemnly: "As long as it's my brother's business, I have energy at any time, and I'll be angry if you ask me in the future!"

"Okay, good, good, I asked superfluously. Gu Biao smiled and patted Mina's hair, and took her into his arms again, "I hope you will take advantage of these two weeks to write a top-secret internal reference for the relevant departments to circulate." Don't mention what you know, just provide risk prevention.

The content of the inventory is how the Bretanians dug holes and buried mines to frame the recipients when they dealt with those colonies and overseas territories in the past, and finally knew that they could not hold them.

You can start with the most famous causes and consequences of the partition of India and Pakistan, and the various treacherous schemes of the old brute Bartenberg. There are a lot of other supporting materials, anyway, you can find them yourself - I understand, what I want you to do, is similar to the topic of 'I draw conclusions, you find historical black materials to prove', which we are used to working together.

Then, after taking stock of all the bad things that the Bretons had done when they withdrew, he made two final points: for example, to prevent them from consistently appointing governors, and in the end, knowing that they were going to lose them, they might choose governors instead in order to disgust the people who came after them.

Another example is the possibility of engaging in financial affairs in territories that have been forced to give up, intimidating local wealthy people into emigrating, and exporting their wealth to other colonial countries that are still hardcore.

There is also the change of the existing decree in terms of public opinion, and the recipient is disgusting......"

The following is omitted from a few hundred words, which are nothing more than the immoral and degrading tactics that the Bretanians are accustomed to.

Mina is also an insider, and her reaction was very fast, and she roughly understood after listening to it: "So, if this top-secret internal reference is seen by the person in charge of the negotiation, can you give them a wake-up call? When he sees that the conditions are favorable and the situation permits, he will write these risk plugging clauses into the memorandum as the framework for negotiations?"

THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT MINA HAS GOT TO THE CORE.

Gu Biao doesn't want to change the general trend of history, and he doesn't want to be greedy for heaven's work.

However, he can remind that on the premise that the finale is determined, prevent the Bretanians from doing additional damage before leaving, so that the motherland can receive a more prosperous stall where the elite can live and work in peace.

Historically, Brittania has made waves and created unrest, bringing more than 200,000 wealthy people to Vancouver to emigrate in order to transfer as much of the wealth as possible to the country still under Britannia's rule.

Of course, Gu Biao will not personally intervene in all this. He just created a favorable objective environment, and used top-secret internal references to remind the above to pay attention to these risks, but how to talk about it, Gu Biao didn't know at all.

He is the equivalent of a half-baked lawyer who only provides pre-trial legal assistance but does not help people appear in court.

After thoroughly understanding the cause and effect, Mina's blood was also boiling, and she felt that the exhaustion in her body was dispelled by willpower.

"I must do it as soon as possible, brother, don't worry. ”

"Well, I'll take time out to help you these days. Anyway, the application for leave without pay in my ministry has already started to go through the procedure, so it's not busy. Gu Biao said lovingly.

……

After more than a week, Gu Biao fell into the sweetness and hard work of fighting with Mina to write a top-secret reference.

At the time of their writing, the Afghan army's expulsion of the occupying forces on South Georgia was countered by the Brittanians, and they gradually went off the rails and began a formal fight. However, they were still small fights, and they did not develop to the extent of sinking the opponent's large warships.

On May 19, Mina's top-secret reference was handed over to the director of the Ministry's International Relations Research Office through formal channels.

As for the following, Gu Biao and Mina don't know.

Two days later, on the weekend of the 22nd, after completing all the formalities, Gu Biao officially suspended his job without pay, hurriedly caught Air China Flight 747, flew to Watsengton again, and registered for reinstatement two days later, and continued to study for a doctorate at the Wales School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University under Professor Kissinger.

On the day he arrived at the school, he also caught up with the graduation of a senior - Senior McAllan, who had studied for a doctorate under Kissinger with him, that is, the son of the Brittan ambassador to the United States, finally got his doctorate and graduated after 11 years in Georgetown. (It took 11 years to add up to 11 years for both bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees.) ）

The day Gu Biao came back just in time for the reception where the students saw off their seniors.

"Gu, I'm going back to China with my dad, I'm glad to be a classmate with you. But fortunately, my dad is going back to China, and the professor finally approved me to graduate this semester. "The Macallan, a gentleman, is obviously very comfortable with what happens.

"Really, what's going on?"

"Actually, it's nothing, that old woman wants to change someone who is more relaxed to come to President Li Gen to intercede, anyway, it doesn't matter to us. ”

"Then I wish you a nice trip. ”

This is the winner in life, and he always only needs to be ushered in, without having to do dirty work, and if the situation is a little grim, there will be more capable people to take over.

This kind of gentleman lives quite freely.
