Chapter 564: Kissinger's Advice
Yang Jiasheng is 53 years old. For a high-end politician, this age is considered the golden age of youth.
On the question of what kind of government is appropriate for the Democratic Federal Republic of Northern Burma, when Yang Jiasheng asked Yang Weiping for his opinion, Yang Weiping only put forward one principle: no matter what kind of government is adopted, power must be highly centralized.
The so-called democracy is nothing more than a slogan used to frighten the common people, and if a weak country wants to be strong, it can only take the road of centralized dictatorship at the central level. Democracy is the banner of whitewashing peace only when the national strength reaches a certain level of development.
In this regard, Yang Jiasheng of course raised his hands in favor. He made it clear to Yang Weiping that he is now the supreme leader of Northern Burma, and he is only helping Yang Weiping take care of it for a while. When the country is politically stable and peaceful, the state power will eventually be handed over to Yang Weiping.
The last time Yang Jiasheng said this in front of him in Chang'an, Yang Weiping could really feel the sincerity of his cheap father-in-law. For Yang Jiasheng to correct his position and mentality, Yang Weiping is of course happy to see it. Otherwise, he would not have so readily agreed to aid the construction of 156 major projects in northern Burma at one time.
However, in line with the principle that the heart of defense is indispensable, Yang Weiping still repeatedly instructed Qiu Fang to firmly grasp the military power. As long as the military power is grasped, and the Tiangong Group controls the economic lifeline of Northern Burma, no one will want to make any big waves in Northern Burma at that time.
In addition to inspecting the current industrial development status of North Burma, Yang Weiping also aimed to carry out a new military reform of the modernization of the North Burma People's Army.
To some extent, North Myanmar now bears the title of Democratic Federation. But in fact, it is of a military-government nature.
Yang Weiping has repeatedly warned Qiu Fang and Yang Jiasheng that they must not open up politics and engage in any kind of democratic politics. There can be only one legal political party in northern Myanmar, the Democratic Alliance (NLD). Other political parties and civil society organizations are illegal organizations and will be resolutely punished.
In this regard, the government must adopt a high-pressure policy. As long as the government can solve the problems of food and clothing and housing that the people are most concerned about, the people can feel that their lives will be better and better, and they will be full of hope, and it will be guaranteed that no organization or political party can incite them to rebel and make revolution.
North Burma does not need any partisan struggle now. We should develop the economy, do a good job in improving the people's livelihood, and build the army well. It's the top priority at the moment.
Although Yang Weiping promised that Chief No. 1 and Ye Jianxiong would not participate in the government affairs of Northern Burma for the time being. But that doesn't mean he can't make some constructive suggestions to Yang Jiasheng.
There are some things that he can't say in front of Yang Jiasheng and Kissinger, but he said that with his current age and qualifications, he is really not suitable to participate in national politics. It is still acceptable to Yang Jiasheng and Kissinger.
After all. Yang Weiping's political defeat in mainland China. This is fully proven.
At an altitude of 12,000 meters, Tiangong-1 sailed smoothly eastward at a normal cruising speed over the clouds.
Two FC-1 Thunder fighter jets, painted with the North Burmese Air Force insignia, flew over the escort route from a safe distance.
Feeling that Yang Weiping didn't seem to be very interested in the topic of the founding ceremony, Yang Jiasheng wisely changed the topic appropriately in the midst of talking and laughing.
"Wei Ping. I have heard that the British War Cabinet is preparing a contract of employment for up to 50 million pounds. Yang Jiasheng looked at Yang Weiping with a solemn look in his eyes and said, "As far as I know, they have sent representatives to have preliminary negotiations with President Qiu, and want to entrust the Rock Mercenaries to cooperate with their expeditionary fleet landing force. ”
"Qiu Fang told me about this. Yang Weiping smiled indifferently: "I asked her to decline this commission, on the grounds that the most important task of the Rock Mercenaries at present is to assist the Northern Burmese People's Army in stabilizing the situation in Northern Burma and prevent the Southern Burmese side from sending a small force to infiltrate and make trouble." ”
"Boss, I think what you really think is that you don't want the mercenaries of the rock to go to the Malvinas Islands to die, right?" Kissinger looked at Yang Weiping with a deep smile in his eyes.
"Hehe, why do you think so? Mr. Kissinger. Yang Weiping glanced at Kissinger with a smile.
"I have a feeling, boss, that you seem to be very disoptimistic about this expeditionary operation of the British. Kissinger said: "Argentina is the largest user of Chinese-made weapons in South America, and the boss, you used to be the leader in the research and development of China's new weapons, and no one can better understand the comprehensive performance of those advanced weapons exported by China than you."
I even think that you may have foreseen at the beginning of this year that it is impossible for Britain and Afghanistan to resolve the sovereignty dispute over the Falklands through diplomatic and political means, and that war is the only way. That's why you're going to have the main ships of the Rock Fleet go into the shipyard for overhaul before negotiations break down. ”
When Yang Jiasheng heard Kissinger say this, he suddenly felt a little unbelievable. In disbelief, he turned his eyes around on the faces of Yang Weiping and Kissinger.
"Hehe, Mr. Kissinger, it seems that I will give you a million dollars of annual salary or a low price!" Yang Weiping smiled with great satisfaction: "Being able to hire Your Excellency as my personal consultant is the most correct decision I have made in the past few years.
Galtieri, Argentina's dictator with military and political power, is undoubtedly the best way to distract the public from domestic economic and human rights issues. Argentina had hinted at the United Nations that they might take military action against the Falklands, but the British government did not take it seriously.
As a result of my previous work, I have always had a relatively good personal relationship with the Argentine military. The commander of the Argentine Navy, Jorge Anaya, was a man with strong anti-British sentiments. He had drawn up an overall plan to capture the Falklands. And by chance, I was fortunate enough to learn some parts of this battle plan. ”
"Boss, you are a noble baron appointed by the British royal family, if from the perspective of safeguarding British interests, since you have obtained military intelligence from Argentina, you should send a warning to the British government. Kissinger's face turned serious and looked directly at Yang Weiping.
"With MI5's intelligence network, Mr. Kissinger, do you think that the British agents are all dry?" Yang Weiping pouted disapprovingly and said: "Even an outsider like me knows the content of this information, and the MI5 intelligence officers have not received any information? In my opinion, it is the British government that has never taken the Argentine army seriously is the fundamental reason. ”
"I estimate that even if Wei Ping leaked this information to the British, they would think that Wei Ping was worrying about it. Yang Jiasheng smiled and nodded, "It's better to have more than one thing, there's no need to make trouble for yourself." After all, Argentina is a big arms trade in China, and Wei Ping has to consider the interests of the Chinese government to a greater or lesser extent. ”
"Actually, I asked Qiu Fang to leak the news to Captain Wilson at the end of last year. Yang Weiping sighed and said: "I think, Captain Wilson should have conveyed it to the British military intelligence department, but who knew that he didn't take it seriously, and thought Qiu Fang was joking with him."
If the Argentine Government had not been preparing for war, how could it have procured so many arms and military supplies from China in recent years? These are actually signals of war, and since the British government doesn't pay attention to them, why should I worry about the ancients? ”
As a matter of fact, the US Government does not approve of the British Government settling the Falklands dispute by force. Kissinger sighed: "It's just that Margaret Thatcher's attitude is very resolute, and I think that in the early stage of the war, the British expeditionary fleet is estimated to suffer greatly." ”
"The Iran-Iraq war, the Afghan war, and now the Anglo-Afghan war, this world is really lively. Yang Weiping obviously smiled a little gloatingly: "Mr. Kissinger, the Falklands are too far away from us, and I think it is more reliable for us to focus on Asia."
Recently, the Afghan resistance group has been sending people to contact the Rock mercenaries, hoping that the rock will help their guerrillas fight the Soviet invaders. Mr. Kissinger, what do you think about this?"
"Boss, I don't think it matters what I think, it's what you think. Kissinger smiled like an old fox, "The US government is sparing no effort to support the Afghan guerrillas, and the Chinese government is also constantly exporting arms and military supplies to the Afghan resistance groups. This is enough to show that on the Afghan issue, China and the United States have the same attitude. ”
"Rock mercenaries, never think about politics, only about money. The smile on Yang Weiping's face also looked unfathomable, "For example, in Myanmar, although my father-in-law's family did not come up with enough cash, they took out all the property rights of two jadeite bonanzas as collateral. Although at that time these two bonanzas were controlled by the government army.
Afghanistan is still very rich in mineral resources, and I have always been interested in minerals. If the U.S. government can come forward and entrust Rock to help the Afghan guerrillas, I think it would be more attractive to let the Rock mercenaries go to Afghanistan than to go to the Malvinas Islands. ”
"Boss, if I heard me correctly, you mean that after driving the Soviet troops out of Afghanistan, you want to cooperate with the U.S. government to develop Afghanistan's mineral resources?" Kissinger raised his eyebrows and looked thoughtfully at Yang Weiping's question.
"It is not easy to get the Soviet Union to withdraw its troops. Yang Weiping smiled noncommittally: "I estimate that the war in Afghanistan will have to be fought for at least ten or eight years, or even longer." For mercenary organizations, the longer it drags on, the more money it makes. ”
"Maybe it would be a good decision to let Rock set up a training camp in Afghanistan. Kissinger said with a smile and a nod.
"Hehe, it seems that this suggestion is a bit interesting. Yang Weiping smiled happily.
After returning to Mandalay, Yang Weiping asked Yang Jiasheng to leave him alone and hurry up to prepare for the founding ceremony. Accompanied by Qiu Fang and Yang Xinru, he directly lived in the garrison of the First Mechanized Division of the People's Army in the northern suburbs of the city. (To be continued......)
