Chapter 537: I Only Have One Stand!
Although Yang Weiping is not mentally prepared for the complete control of a state power, he has to admit that Qiu Fang's analysis goes straight to the essence of the problem.
That's right! Yang Weiping is no longer the stunned young man who returned to China with enthusiasm to devote himself to the reform and construction of China's economic system, nor is he the idealist who thinks that he can change the process of industrialization in the Chinese country with his own ability, still less is he a political novice who can control the influence at will.
He is the de facto controller of the forthcoming Democratic Self-Government of Northern Burma!
A dictator with a territory of more than 400,000 square kilometers and presiding over the fate of more than 40 million people!
He is a speculator who can stir up the political landscape in Asia at the slightest moment!
Even if he has no intention of appearing on the international political stage as the "King of Northern Burma", no one can question him now, Baron John Yang, who already has a political identity that can be equal to the leader of any country in the world.
Once the government of the Democratic Autonomous Government of North Burma is officially announced to the whole world, all investment projects of Tiangong International Group and Panshi International Security Company in China will be marked with a new brand, and including Y20B Global Overlord!
The top decision-making level of the Chinese government has obviously seen this quite thoroughly. Otherwise, Ye Jianxiong, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, vice chairman of the Central Political Affairs Bureau, Standing Committee, and Central Military Commission, who is already 85 years old, would not have been invited to Chang'an in person.
Whether in public or private, Yang Weiping has always had great respect for Ye Jianxiong. After receiving his fiancée Ye Xiaoqiao from Hong Kong at Chang'an Xianyang International Airport, he rushed to the Longxi Provincial Party Committee Guest House to meet his elders as soon as possible.
I saw Yang Weiping uninvited. Ye Jianxiong was of course extremely happy.
Ye Jianxiong asked the secretary to turn down all the meetings and entertainment originally arranged, and asked Yang Weiping and Ye Xiaoqiao to accompany him to Huaqing Pond to watch the mountains and enjoy the water. Along the way, he only did his homework, and did not mention any official business.
Furong Garden, Jiulong Lake, Pear Garden, Tang Yutang Ruins and other scenic spots walked all over one by one, and near dusk, the old and young came to the five halls around the garden.
To the east of the Tang Imperial Soup Site Museum, there is an elegant courtyard with the characteristics of Jiangnan gardens - Huanyuan. Huanyuan was originally a post house of the Qing Dynasty, which was destroyed in the war during the Tongzhi period. During the Guangxu period (1878), Shen Jiazhen of Lintong Zhixian adopted the method of "work for relief" and rebuilt the hot spring inn. And changed its name to "Huanyuan".
In 1900, Cixi and Guangxu entered Beijing to inspect Chang'an in order to escape the Eight-Nation Alliance. I slept here for both trips and trips. In 1936, Chiang Kai-shek came to Chang'an in person, set up the Huanyuan as a temporary line, and deployed to suppress the total plan. triggered the "Chang'an Incident" that shocked China and the world.
Walk into the Ring Garden. It is a pool of lotus flowers. The south of the pond is the Lotus Pavilion, and the east of the pond is the White Lotus Pavilion, and walk along the west bank of the Lotus Pond to the back of the Lotus Pavilion. It is the famous five-room hall.
The five halls are a brick and wood structure hall, south of Li Mountain, north to the lotus pond, the courtyard is flat, the trees are lush, because of the five single rooms connected by the name of the five halls. The thick red pillars are high on the eaves of the front porch of the hall, and the atmosphere is magnificent. It contrasts with the surrounding three halls, Wanghe Pavilion, Feihongqiao and Feixia Pavilion.
Looking at the glass windows and walls of the five halls, which still retain the bullet marks of the fierce battle in those years, Ye Jianxiong told Yang Weiping and Ye Xiaoqiao some details and anecdotes in the "Chang'an Incident" that were not recorded in historical materials.
Of course, Yang Weiping understands that Ye Jianxiong is not idle and bored to tell him stories. Ye Jianxiong led him to visit the five halls of the Huanyuan at this time, and lamented the sad ending of Zhang Hanqing, the young marshal of the Republic of China, in his later years, and his metaphor was obviously hinting at him.
When leaving the five halls, Ye Jianxiong stopped and looked back intentionally or unintentionally, and sighed and said: "Think about what a beautiful Zhang Shaoshuai was back then, who would have thought that he would take a wrong step, and the result was a wrong step. Therefore, this man has to think twice before doing anything. ”
Hearing this, Ye Xiaoqiao knew what he meant, and supported Ye Jianxiong, who was aging Long Zhong, with both hands, and looked at Yang Weiping with a sideways face while slowly moving forward, and asked softly, "Grandpa, are you comparing Zhang Hanqing with Wei Ping?"
Ye Jianxiong did not answer directly, but stopped and looked at Yang Weiping with deep meaning, and said with a smile: "Weiping, what do you think?"
"Hehe, grandpa, I don't think there's anything like that. Yang Weiping smiled indifferently: "I know that the central government has quite a few criticisms of what I have done in Myanmar. The reason for doing so is just to prove that all the principles and policies formulated by me during my tenure as chairman of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and chairman of the State Development Planning Commission are completely in line with China's national conditions. I need to find a piece of land that I can say and put it to the test, and I want everyone to know that I'm right!"
"There is no absolute right or wrong. Ye Jianxiong slowly shook his head and said: "Standing on different positions, there are different criteria for distinguishing right from wrong. ”
"I, Yang Weiping, have only one stand!" Yang Weiping said solemnly: "Take the interests of the state and the nation as the supreme interest! Any political interest should be based on this supreme interest!"
"Speeding up the development of light industry and improving the material living standards of the people throughout the country represent the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people!" Ye Chien-hsiung said in a deep voice: "China's military industrial system cannot bring about civilian industry and the development of the national economy as a whole, and it is a huge waste!"
"The development of light industry and the enhancement of the material base must not be at the expense of heavy industry for national defense!" Yang Weiping argued-for-tat.
"China's current development policy should be to focus on the army and raise the army with the people!" Ye Chien-hsiung also insisted on his own opinion, "It is certainly not wrong to go all out to develop the aviation industry, the shipbuilding industry, and the precision machine tool industry, but doing so occupies too many national resources." China's overall development ideology is to become an economic power, not a military power! Otherwise, it will inevitably break the pattern of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union in the world today, and trigger turbulence in the international situation!"
"Economic development without a strong military foundation is like a high-rise building built on a beach!" Yang Weiping argued on the basis of reason, "I am not opposed to the development of light industry, but I believe that while developing light industry, national defense and military heavy industry must go hand in hand, still less can we ignore the research and development of basic industry for the sake of blindly pursuing economic returns."
I know that many people in the central government are now eyeing Japan and want to follow the model of Japan's economic development. However, grandpa, I would like to give you a message here today: Don't look at Japan's claim to be the world's second largest economic power, but as long as the Americans are unhappy, the US government can immediately shrink Japan's economy drastically anytime and anywhere! Because Japan has no defense industry!"
"Adhering to the five principles of peaceful coexistence and the four cardinal principles externally are the basic national policies for China's future development!" Ye Chien-hsiung said earnestly: "China will not pursue a policy of hegemonic expansion, and what we urgently need most at present is to develop the economy and improve the people's livelihood!"
"Grandpa, I never thought of Huaxia dominating the world, but I'm worried. Yang Weiping sighed and said: "If we follow China's current economic development guidelines and policies, once the international situation changes, we will not be able to straighten our backs and stand up our backbones." ”
"What are the changes in the international situation you are referring to?" asked Ye Chien-shiung Zhengse.
Of course, all the socialist countries in Eastern Europe have coups d'état and the Soviet Union has disintegrated! However, it is of course impossible for Yang Weiping to say this to Ye Jianxiong now.
"The war in Afghanistan and the Iran-Iraq war have proven that this world is not peaceful. Yang Weiping pondered and said: "The negotiations between Britain and Argentina in New York have broken down, and Argentina has begun to prepare for war, and I speculate that by the beginning of May this year at the latest, war between Britain and Argentina will inevitably break out!"
If the Cold War pattern between the United States and the Soviet Union is not broken, the entire world will not be at peace. In the South China Sea, the Philippines and Indonesia are looking at each other, and in the Indochina Peninsula, anti-China forces are active in the southern part of Vietnam. It is impossible for Western countries to sit idly by and watch our country control the entire Indochinese Peninsula for a long time.
In particular, the United States, in order to safeguard its interests in the Asia-Pacific region, sooner or later will make small moves behind its back. If we do not have a strong military force to guarantee it, our country's vested interests in the Indochina Peninsula and the South China Sea region will inevitably be infringed upon! What will we do then? Will we just shout a few painless protests at the United Nations?
Ye Jianxiong fell into deep thought after hearing this.
Yang Weiping speculated that war would break out in the negotiations between Britain and Argentina on the Falklands, and the General Staff's military analysis report also came to the same conclusion.
Since the implementation of reform and opening up, China has maintained a fairly harmonious relationship with the British government, and its national trade with Argentina has also been very prosperous.
In the past month, the Argentine Government has stepped up arms purchases from China. In addition, a special presidential envoy was sent to China to request that the delivery dates of the B2 Tengu fighters, FC-1 Thunder fighters, C802 Exocet anti-ship missiles, and other equipment in the China-Afghanistan arms trade agreement be accelerated.
If war really breaks out between Britain and Argentina, the situation in the whole world will definitely be in danger of war.
Although China will not take the initiative to start a war, if a coup d'état breaks out in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, the central government of China will definitely not sit idly by.
Since the glorious victory of the armed war against Vietnam, the total number of Chinese who have emigrated to the Indochina Peninsula in recent years has exceeded 10 million. On this resettlement project, the top level of Huaxia still listened to Yang Weiping's original suggestion, and all the immigrants were mainly rural residents living in poor mountainous areas with inconvenient transportation in the interior of China.
The change from a rural hukou to an urban hukou was very attractive to the Chinese peasants during this period. Even if the background is away from home, there are still many applicants.
The pressure on the domestic population has been eased to a certain extent, and this is also an important reason why the central government of China has decided to suspend the large-scale development of the western region.
Controlling the Indochina Peninsula has long been an established strategic national policy of China.
Yang Weiping's private control of northern Burma and the establishment of an independent regime have somewhat variables for China's South Asia strategy.
And whether this variable is good or bad depends entirely on Yang Weiping's personal attitude! (To be continued......
