Chapter 529: Giving Back
The reality is far more cruel than Guo Jingxiang imagined.
As early as a few days ago, Minister Zheng made a report at a meeting of the ministry's party group on the basis of Guo Jingxiang's telegram, and put forward suggestions for improving the policy in Central Asia.
In this, there are not only opinions on the treatment of Sioux City, but also an analysis of Eliqibeyi and Aliyev, as well as predictions and estimates of the future of Azerbaijan.
Needless to say, Minister Zheng wanted to severely punish Sioux City and ostracize Aliyev, while supporting Elichbeyi. Since Minister Zheng is in charge of Central Asia, only two officials from the Zhou department asked, and there was no real objection, and the policy report was considered approved.
Because of the importance of the matter, the "Study on the Foreign Policy of Azerbaijan and the Central Asian States" was submitted to the State Council, where it was discussed by the State Council, and on the basis of which a charter was drawn up to deal with the increasingly important problems of the Caspian States, the five Central Asian countries, the CIS and Turkey......
These are all new problems that emerged in the early 90s, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not have a unified response to them.
Minister Zheng's suggestion will undoubtedly become a standard tool to be applied to diplomatic practice.
This will be a significant achievement.
Minister Zheng was very happy for a few days, enjoying the high praise of his colleagues and fantasizing about the day when he became a member of the Central Committee.
Although vice ministers are already standard high-ranking officials, China's great cause is huge, and the total number of vice ministers is really quite large, and there are thousands of active ministers. However, there are only about 200 members of the Central Committee, and almost only ministerial level can enter.
This step. It can be called the most important step in the life of a central official.
Minister Zheng saw an opportunity and would rather trample Sioux City to death. Take advantage of it too.
His thunderous measures and firm attitude are actually emphasizing his own disguise.
It can be said that he wants to complete his goal of packaging and listing by stepping on Dahua Industrial, a nationally renowned enterprise.
The whole process went smoothly.
Vice Minister Zheng, who was originally in the ministry, stood out and caught the eyes of the higher-level leaders.
Put it in antiquity. This is equivalent to an ordinary four-rank lang, who has left a deep impression on the cabinet adults, and has a proper rhythm of promotion.
There was only one problem, and he was wrong.
It's not one mistake, it's all wrong!
It's not that you find out that you're wrong a few years later, it's that in less than two weeks, you're proven wrong!
It's not that you find out that you're wrong after being promoted. He had just impressed the cabinet members and he was proven wrong.
With so many bad situations coming together, Minister Zheng couldn't explain it clearly.
All he could do was to ferment his anger and pour it on Guo Jingxiang.
After a hoarse phone call. Guo Jingxiang walked out of the communication room physically and mentally exhausted, and went back to the room to drink without saying a word.
The sympathetic eyes of the embassy staff around him made him feel tormented.
They are all diplomats working in Azerbaijan, and everyone knows best what the situation means in front of them.
Even Jiao Guoping. could only look at Guo Jingxiang's back helplessly, and shook his head secretly: Su Cheng lost. It's a big deal, if you lose, the rest of your life will be the life of drinking tea and reading newspapers, the gods fight, why should the little ghost get involved......
Thinking of this, Jiao Guoping frowned himself: When did I become a little ghost and Su Cheng became an immortal?
"Lao Jiao, come here. The counselor came out of nowhere, and he happened to be stuck in the gap where Guo Jingxiang left.
Jiao Guoping hesitated for a moment, then went over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The domestic telegram, we have just translated it, you can take a look. The counselor's smile was a little strange.
Telegrams from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and embassies often have top secrets. This high-level information itself is not necessarily important. Jiao Guoping was very accustomed to this, and without asking a word, he followed the counselor into the communication room.
The communication room was just the size of an ordinary conference room, and there were two telephones on the table, one of which was pulled to the chair in front of it, and most of them were answered and scolded by Guo Jingxiang.
Jiao Guoping coughed and said, "Where did you get the telegram?"
"Ministry, sit down. The counselor leaned over and took out two telegrams, light and dark, from the safe, handed them to Jiao Guoping, and said, "It seems that we are going to cooperate." β
Jiao Guoping knows in his heart that this shows that Azerbaijan's policy is about to change.
It can be inferred from this that Minister Zheng's Central Asia policy will not even be able to survive for a while.
He slowly opened the telegram and read it.
The telegram was written a little jerky, half of it was nonsense and useless clichΓ©s, but the core content was also clear, asking the embassy and Jiao Guoping to re-analyze the situation in Azerbaijan, take flexible measures, and keep in close contact with the authorities of Sioux City and Azerbaijan......
Seeing the back, Jiao Guoping could also understand the mood of the person who wrote the telegram. Such a telegram is really difficult to write.
After all, Minister Zheng is the figure of the vice minister, and if there is no formal criticism from above, the people below cannot make a vain evaluation. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to justify a change in the previous foreign policy.
If it weren't for the fact that the situation in Azerbaijan could not wait, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would certainly not have sent such a telegram.
Without reading it, Jiao Guoping also knew his fate and asked, "Do you want me to go to Su Cheng?"
"After all, you have a relationship, and besides, I heard that you also have private contact with Sioux City?"
"He told me about Aliyev. Jiao Guoping casually made up an excuse.
The counselor rubbed his hands together and smiled, "That's the best." Although it was not said above, I think Aliyev still needs to pay attention. Not to mention anything else, just the money he has spent recently can get him a good position. β
Little Aliyev's story of sprinkling money sounded like a joke a few days ago. The people on the outside look at little Aliyev purely with the eyes of a fool, and those inside look at little Aliyev purely with the eyes of a rich fool.
However, as soon as the coup d'Γ©tat took place, Aliyev's money played a role.
If it weren't for this big sprinkling of money. And how can Aliyev's name be listed at the top of the list of invited delegates. This is not only for Husseinov to admit, but also for those behind the queue.
Circumstances change with the passage of time. Even if Aliyev does not become president, there will be no problem at all in returning to the center of Azerbaijan.
Moreover, the good karma that was formed that day. Now it's working.
People who are not soft on people's money and money cannot do this kind of thing without being armed with a complete set of theoretical weapons. The attitude of the Azerbaijani bureaucracy to Aliyev is still very good.
Jiao Guoping's forward-looking attitude towards Su Cheng had long been speechless, and he said indifferently: "What is the attitude above? Can't let me fight alone, there is no logistics yet." β
"The policy towards Dahua. Back to 2 months ago, the rest, you see what Sioux City thinks. Now the main thing is to contact Aliyev, and in addition, to lock down the new president of Azerbaijan as soon as possible. "The counsellor spoke very cautiously, almost without a word of nonsense.
The conditions given were very basic, and Jiao Guoping listened to it. On the contrary, he calmed down, and it seems that he is a striker, so do what the striker does, and save a lot of worry.
Seeing that Jiao Guoping understood, the counselor smiled: "Get in touch." Let's try to leave in the afternoon. β
"In such a hurry?"
"The sooner the better, Husseinov has entered the city, and it will not be easy to see Aliyev again. β
He also wanted to see Aliyev.
Jiao Guoping laughed twice and said, "To be honest, I met Su Cheng twice at the Shaqi Hotel. Why don't we look for it at the Shaqi Hotel?"
"Shaqi Hotel...... It's close to the presidential palace. β
"Not far. β
"It's really dark under the lights. Let's go, don't delay, bring all the documents. "Counsellors, they are all official diplomats, they have diplomatic immunity, and they are safer when they go out. However, the most terrible thing about the military coup is the uncontrollable chaos, and these Azerbaijani GIs do not necessarily understand the meaning of diplomatic immunity.
Jiao Guoping thought about it, yes, don't feel uncomfortable, I finished my work early, went back to get my coat, and the two drove vodka with diplomatic licenses and went straight to Shaqi Hotel.
A few kilometers not far away, three consecutive checks, more than 20 minutes of walking, before arriving at the place, and then spent 200 dollars to get to the top floor where Sioux City is located.
To the surprise of the two, Azerbaijani soldiers were standing guard on the top floor.
Entering the room, Su Cheng's performance made the counselor and Jiao Guoping, who had prepared a stomach full of words, speechless.
This guy is playing a game!
In the rare 29-inch TV, a fierce tank battle is going on, and Sioux City sits directly on the carpet, staring intently at the screen.
Next to him was the clumsy Gu Hongjun, one of them defended the base and the other organized the attack, and the cooperation was quite good.
At least Sioux City had a good time.
Such a classic tank battle, this is the most fun time. Next year, PS will appear, and the cartridge games of the past will gradually disappear, and computer games will be a completely different form of game......
But Sioux City's refreshment will not be understood by Jiao Guoping and Counselor.
Jiao Guoping, who was standing at the door, opened his mouth and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Little Overlord Learning Machine, do you want to play?" Su Cheng replied very naturally, as if the two of them had been in the room from the beginning.
Jiao Guoping didn't know what a little overlord was, and said in a sullen voice: "Why do you still have time to play this, it's a mess outside." β
"That's when I had time to play. "Su Chengtou can't either, and the handle doesn't stop.
The counselor tentatively asked, "Why is there time to play at this time?"
"Isn't Elichbey going to step down? I don't want to die with him, and I'll go out again after two days of being out of the limelight. "Sioux City is telling the truth. He was not afraid of Elichbeyi in the presidency, but he was afraid that Ellichbeyi would be jealous, so much so that he pulled a cushion before stepping down.
Although the odds of finding Sioux City are slim, there is always a good thing to do with less swaying.
The counselor was quite satisfied with this answer and asked: "When you go out, do you want to participate in the political consultations in Azerbaijan?"
"Yes. β
"Can you ......?"
"No, you can't. Su Cheng interrupted the counselor's words without thinking.
