Chapter 688: An Uninvited Guest Suddenly!
In the jubilant Mandalay Residence of the Oriental Union, there is a rich festivity but orderly.
He Haoran and Zhou Changzheng were both wearing big red blessing clothes with obvious Chinese characteristics, sitting directly above the large living room of the head of state's mansion, smiling and accepting the salute of a couple of newlyweds.
Even at this moment, He Haoran and Zhou Changzheng are still a little like they are in a dream.
Although the two of them knew that Yang Weiping would definitely respect the two of them, they never expected that Yang Weiping would put the two of them in such a high position, as if they were treated ceremoniously by their fathers and uncles.
It can be said that the position where He Haoran and Zhou Changzheng are sitting now is only qualified to sit by Yang Weiping's late parents and adults!
On such a big occasion that attracted the attention of the world, it was enough for the dignitaries of all over the world who were paying attention to Sir Young to clearly see who his most respected elders were.
Yang Jiasheng and his wife, as Sir Yang's father-in-law and mother-in-law, stood very self-aware at this time to the left of He Haoran and Zhou Changzheng.
Even as the new royal family of Myanmar, Yang Jiasheng still does not dare to hold it up at all. He knew very well who had given their Yang family the lofty status they had today. When he became the president of North Burma, he knew that he was just the spokesman for Sir Yang in the foreground. And sooner or later, Sir Yang will come to the fore and rightfully become the supreme lord of the land of Burma.
Even if Sir Yang has now become his son-in-law, Yang Jiasheng still does not dare to be presumptuous in the slightest.
Sir Yang finally fulfilled his original promise today, and married Yang Xinru Ming Media back home and became his de facto son-in-law of Yang Jiasheng.
You know, according to the traditional customs of China. A son-in-law is equivalent to half a son. As the head of state of the Eastern Union of China, Taishan Laozhang, if this is placed in ancient times, it is a real national prince, a top royal relative!
The officiating master of ceremonies for today's wedding, Manfred did not invite those world-renowned big-name hosts, but followed the instructions of Sir Yang. A representative Buddhist master was selected from the local people of Myanmar.
At this moment, the old monk's face was full of red light and his expression was radiant. What a glorious honor it is to be able to preside over the wedding of the Führer!
Since the establishment of power in northern Burma, Yang Weiping has instructed Yang Jiasheng to let those Burmese men who regard being monks as a lifelong meal ticket not only meditate and chant scriptures, but also devote themselves to the construction of the country like all Burmese people.
This order was first implemented in the Northern Burmese People's Army. Let those young and strong men in Myanmar who have joined the military understand a truth, there are many choices in life, and shaving and learning Buddhism will not make the country rich and strong. Only by correctly understanding the true teachings of Theravada Buddhism can one find the true faith of one in this life.
Theravada Buddhism was introduced to Myanmar in the 3rd century BC and became a common belief in Myanmar in the 11th century, and has continued to be the state religion of Myanmar today.
In Myanmar, boys are generally required to be ordained so that there will be successors to the cause of Buddhism, and it is considered a good thing to accumulate virtue. For kids. Being shaved means being an "adult", and being able to be respected by society is a glorious thing.
There are generally three forms of shaving for boys in Myanmar: shaving for a single household, shaving for a few families together, and shaving for children in government departments, streets, schools or markets. Every afternoon on the day before the shaving ceremony. A grand procession is to be held.
It can be said that most of the men in Myanmar do not give birth, and as long as they become monks, they will not have to worry about food and clothing.
Just imagine, if all the pillars of a country have gone to become monks, how can the country develop!?
For this situation, Yang Weiping must not tolerate it.
The measures taken by the government at that time were also relatively simple. The threshold for shaving is raised, and only those elites who have made real contributions to society and the family are eligible to shave.
Men who have been shaved will all retake the assessment. Those who are not qualified will return to the world and return to the furnace for transformation in the red dust.
In terms of employment, the government prioritises the participation of lay sangha in various skills training and learning. As long as you can pass the professional title assessment of the State Administration of Religious Affairs. You can still shave again.
The government particularly emphasized that the Buddha is in the heart, not in the form. Spiritual belief should be closely integrated with the development and growth of the country and the nation. Only by integrating faith and work can the greatness of Theravada teachings be revealed.
In doing so, the overall quality of the sangha of the various temples was significantly improved. They will not be rejected by those truly eminent monks.
After more than eight years of subtle development, in the major temples in the former northern Myanmar, except for some old monks who are almost old, there are basically no young and middle-aged monks and small monks.
The old Sangha, who is the celebrant of the wedding today, has another identity as a director under the State Religious Affairs Bureau of the Eastern Union Union. Religious belief cannot be higher than the national interest, but can only serve the national interest, which is an iron law stipulated in the Constitution of the Oriental Union of Eastern Union.
The old Sangha was very eloquent, and said a lot of blessings and auspicious words for the newlyweds, but not a single sentence was repeated. It is the Buddha who came to the world and is dedicated to the Buddha's decree to lead the people of all ethnic groups in Myanmar to live a prosperous and healthy life.
Rao is Yang Weiping's long-tested stability and sophistication, which also makes this old sangha master of ceremonies boast a little unbearable.
The guests in the hall were naturally the master of ceremonies, and everyone applauded in unison. Such a good opportunity to pat him on the back in front of Yang Dafeng, everyone naturally won't miss it.
As the wedding process progresses, the most important ceremony of the wedding begins, the chapel.
Just as the master of ceremonies was about to shout the beginning of the chapel, Manfred's loud voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "Mr. George W. Bush, Ambassador of the US Embassy to ASEAN, has come to congratulate the Führer on his new marriage!"
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but be stunned by this announcement, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely quiet.
A few days ago, the US president was still calling on the international community to impose comprehensive sanctions on the Eastern Union, and the United States has not yet established formal diplomatic relations with the Eastern Union, and even closed the former US Embassy in North Burma. How did all of a sudden a US ambassador to the ACUE pop up?
With Yang Weiping's understanding of Manfred, of course he knew that his big butler would definitely not be mistaken.
Seeing that everyone at the scene was looking at him, Yang Weiping nodded at Xiang Rong, who was standing behind him, after a little groaning.
Xiang Rong immediately turned around and shouted in the direction of the gate: "Please!"
Soon, Yang Weiping saw George W. Bush, who was in a suit and leather shoes, accompanied by two counselors and military attachés, with a spring breeze on his face from far and near.
I have to say that the deterrent power of US imperialism in today's world is still quite large.
As George W. Bush stepped into the hall, the guests automatically retreated to both sides to make way for the aisle.
Of course, Yang Weiping is no stranger to George W. Bush.
Before the founding of the Eastern Union, George W. Bush was the US ambassador to North Burma. However, Yang Weiping did not serve in the government of Northern Burma at that time, so he did not have much contact with George W. Bush. But that doesn't mean he doesn't know Bush Jr. as a person.
As Yang Weiping, a big butterfly, continues to flap its wings, the life trajectories of many people in this world have also changed a lot. George W. Bush is one of them.
Originally, according to the name, George W. Bush was supposed to run a company engaged in oil exploration in Texas at this time. However, because North Myanmar is a global leader in oil exploration and production technology, the relationship between Bush Jr.'s father, Bush Sr., not only introduced advanced technology and equipment from North Burma very early, which made the oil company grow rapidly, but also was elected to the Texas State Congress in March 1982 and entered the American political arena early.
In October 1983, under the operation of George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush officially became ambassador to the U.S. Embassy in North Burma.
During his tenure in office, the Bush family has grown bigger and bigger in the oil extraction industry with the help of good cooperative relations with North Burma.
Naturally, he was instructed by Yang Weiping to do so.
Because, if nothing else, Bush Sr. will succeed Ronald Reagan as the 51st president of the United States, and Bush Jr. will also become the 54th and 55th presidents of the United States in the future.
A family that can produce two US presidents, if Yang Weiping does not seize the opportunity to invest, then he will really be ashamed of the honorary title of "son of God" given to him by Western countries.
Making good friends with the Bush family will certainly be beneficial to accomplishing the reunification of Burma.
Facts have proved that after Yang Weiping launched a military operation against the military administration in South Burma, the US government remained silent, and the Bush family's hard work and lobbying results were indeed surviving.
The U.S. Embassy in North Burma announced its closure the day before the founding of the Oriental Union. However, Bush Jr., who is ambassador, did not leave, and the entire embassy staff did not leave. Obviously, they are waiting for the next directive from the US Government at any time.
Hearing Manfred say just now that he was the ambassador of the US Embassy to the Eastern Union instead of the ambassador to North Burma, Yang Weiping has already realized that Reagan's attitude towards the Eastern Union is likely to have undergone a subtle change.
Could it be that Margaret Thatcher said something to Reagan that made Reagan adjust his policy towards the Eastern Union?
Yang Weiping did not think that the Americans would choose this time to make trouble for him on such an occasion. Because if you do, it's no different from declaring war.
After Bush Jr. became US ambassador to North Burma, the cooperation between the Bush family and the Tiangong Group has been further strengthened. In a certain sense, the interests of the Bush family have been firmly tied to the Tiangong Group.
"Your Excellency, congratulations! I wish the virtuous couple an early birth of a noble son!" Bush Jr. had a gentle smile on his face and congratulated Yang Weiping in fluent Chinese.
"Mr. Bush, I am very happy that you can come to my wedding!" Yang Weiping smiled and shook hands with Bush Jr., "It's just that I'm a little confused, when did your embassy change its name to the U.S. Embassy in the Eastern Union Union?" (to be continued......
