Pang Jindong noticed Reneny's appearance and immediately asked, "What do you want to say?"

Reneny looked at Pang Jindong with a lot of concern in her eyes, and her tone was a little nervous: "What are you going to do next?"

Pang Jindong shook his head and said in a low voice: "I don't have a specific plan now, let's see how the situation develops next and then make a decision!"

No one thought that this kind of meeting was supposed to talk about life after parting, but they didn't expect it to become a discussion of current affairs.

Pang Jindong didn't want Renies to worry about these things with him, so he immediately changed the subject: "How is your love life now?

Renyette shrugged: "Whoever is liked by the Muse will not be favored by Aphrodite." ”

"I wish your love to be as brilliant as your career as soon as possible!"

Pang Jindong doesn't know Hollywood, and he doesn't know that in that place, marriage and divorce are very common things, and changing friends of the opposite sex is as common as changing clothes.

Although every couple who walks into church hopes that their marriage will last forever, at least on the surface, no one can.

Therefore, the so-called "other half" is not in line with reality at all.

However, Renenies is not the same as other stars, she has hardly had any scandals since her debut, and there has never been a man by her side, so that some people once thought she had homosexual tendencies.

Renez glanced at the girls in the room and asked with a smile, "Don't always talk about me, what about you? Have you ended your singleness? Do you have a girlfriend?"

Pang Jindong faced this question this time, and was much more cautious, and did not directly answer "yes".

Because Pang Jindong didn't know what the direction of his love life was, after thinking twice, he gave an ambiguous answer: "Even if there is none......"

This was the end of the discussion on the issue of courage, and Pang Jindong and Renez talked until late at night, until everyone else was drowsy, and then reluctantly broke up.

Pang Jindong promised that if he had time the next day, he would definitely come to see Reneny, but considering that many eyes were focused on Renyette, Pang Jindong decided not to go to the airport to see Renez off.

After leaving the Imperial City Hotel and going home, I don't know why, Pang Jindong remembered Renyette's question about asking if he had a girlfriend, and almost without thinking, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Jin Lingling.

However, Jin Lingling's mobile phone was still turned off, just like every time Pang Jindong dialed it before, a feeling of loss immediately occupied Pang Jindong's heart.

At this time, Milia quietly walked behind Pang Jindong and gently patted Pang Jindong's shoulder.

Pang Jindong looked back at Miria and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Renies asked you a question today, and I want to know the answer too!"

Pang Jindong sighed and said helplessly: "Maybe my relationship may have belonged, but I do not have a girlfriend now, at least nominally, ......"

"That's not what I'm asking you, why do you think about that?!" Miria's eyes widened and she said in amazement, "I want to know what you plan to do next?"

As soon as Milia said it, Pang Jindong knew that he would be wrong, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed.

Fortunately, Miria did not continue to dwell on this topic, and Pang Jindong hurriedly answered the question just now: "Just like I said to Reneny, you can only look at the further development of the situation before making a decision!"

Miria shook her head, "You don't have a clear plan for things, it's not your style of doing things. ”

"If in the past, I had a clear plan for everything, it was because I could control how things unfolded, or at least I could exert a great influence. But the Kokang War is different, there are many factors at play, and when the Kokang becomes a standing song in the game between the great powers, the game becomes too big..."

"Then in the words of you Huaxia people, you can only 'do your best and obey the destiny of heaven'?"

"Yes. ”

"When are you going to go to Kokang again?"

"Actually, now that things in China are on the right track, I can get out and be resolute, and I am also very uneasy about it, although the fighting in the rainy season is not fierce......." Pang Jindong looked at Milia and decided not to hide anything from his good comrade-in-arms, so he said bluntly: "But I believe that someone doesn't want me to go back......."

Although Pang Jindong said very vaguely, Miria still immediately understood: "Is it because of the power struggle?"

"Yes. ”

"You have done so much for the Kokang Republican Army, you should fight for your due honor and power. ”

"Milia ......." Pang Jindong looked at this loyal comrade-in-arms and shook his head with a smile: "The Qiē I did for the Kokang Republican Army was not for myself, so I have no interest in fighting for anything." Since someone is worried about me and is worried that I will affect his power, then I can only choose to avoid it. ”

Miria pouted: "I know you're very indifferent......."

"I have a reason to choose an indifferent life, because I am no longer lacking anything now," Pang Jindong added, after a pause, "except for love............

Pang Jindong was about to continue, but was interrupted by a sudden phone call, and the other party's voice was low and slightly excited: "Jerry, how are you lately?"

"Anderson......." Pang Jindong smiled, and frankly told the other party: "Now I can't call you Director, but Mr. President." Unfortunately, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet. ”

"I'm curious to know why this is happening. Anderson paused, his voice a little regretful: "I thought that you would call me as soon as the election results were announced." ”

When the election results were announced, Pang Jindong was busy with many things and did not pay attention to them in time.

After knowing the results of the election, Pang Jindong would normally call to congratulate, but the current situation is different.

Thinking of his identity as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kokang Republican Army, Pang Jindong never thought about how he should face Anderson.

In the face of Anderson's questioning, Pang Jindong frankly stated the reason: "From the perspective of personal friendship, I sincerely congratulate you. But I'm sure you already know that I now have one identity, that is, one of the leaders of the *** armed forces of a certain country. Based on this identity, I thought that the relationship between us would become complicated, so I didn't know how to express this kind of congratulations, so I had to keep it in my heart. ”

When Anderson heard this, he burst out laughing: "My dear Jerry, do you think that our friendship will have an impact on international relations, or will international relations have an impact on our friendship as individuals?"

"Even though you've done a lot for me, I still don't want that kind of impact. In fact, this sentence is unreasonable, Pang Jindong very much hopes that Anderson can help him on the issue of courage, but before that, he must first clarify Anderson's point of view. Therefore, Pang Jindong took retreat as advance and tested Anderson's attitude.

"Jerry, you should understand that personal friendships between politicians tend to influence their political views and positions to a great extent. For example, I maintain good personal friendships with the leaders of all the allies of country M, which is one of the foundations of this alliance. ”

"Then ......." took a deep breath, and Pang Jindong slowly asked: "Can we also establish this kind of friendship between us?"

"I hope so, but .......," Anderson said with a deliberate pause, and then his tone became very stern: "The army you lead has a very special nature. ”

Hearing Anderson's words, Pang Jindong understood at that time that he had already made a detailed understanding of the problem of courage.

In this case, Pang Jindong plans to say his words more bluntly: "I understand, you are worried that the Kokang region will be incorporated into country Z, and you are also worried that a puppet regime of country Z will appear in MD, and you are worried that Kokang will become a stepping stone to the expansion of country Z." ”

"Jerry, you know me well enough, these three include all my concerns, but I am not worried about the first......" Anderson's tone was still very stern, completely different from the ease at the beginning, "However, I must admit to you that for the latter two, my concerns are very large. ”

"As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kokang Republican Army, do you want to hear my explanation?"

After a moment of silence, Anderson nodded, "Yes." ”

"First of all, we will not be incorporated into country Z......" Pang Jindong told the truth, from the beginning, Pang Jindong did not intend to let the independence of Kokang become the territory of country Z.

As for the reason, first of all, his uncle and his family would not be willing to do this;

secondly, the attitude of other local peoples must be taken into account, which they will obviously have reservations;

In addition, there is a more important factor that Pang Jindong has never explicitly stated, that is, Pang Jindong once gave birth to such an idea - to rebuild a country Z on another piece of land.

Anderson interrupted Pang Jindong's words: "As I said, I don't care about this, I can tell you clearly, whether the territory of country Z is increasing or shrinking, it doesn't make much sense." ”

To this day, many Chinese people still maintain the idea of being a freshman, taking the ability to expand territory as a means to stimulate the national spirit, attaching great importance to the integrity of the country's territory, and establishing a centralized political system on this basis.

Westerners, on the other hand, are less proud of their vast territory and abundant products, and are more concerned about a developed economy and various civil rights.

Sometimes, they don't even pay much attention to national defense, and people in many small European countries believe that governments should not spend taxpayers' money to feed their armies.

Because of this, the idea of great unification was never born in Europe, and it was always in a state of fragmentation.

Today's EU is also only a union of states, not a united country in the true sense of the word.

Every nation and state in Europe has paid attention to maintaining its own cultural, historical, and political independence, and has not pursued the creation of a centralized state that conforms to the idea of great unification.

The same is true of the people of country M, which originated in Europe, and each state that makes up the federation has a great deal of autonomy, and the depth and breadth of this autonomy even exceeds that of the national autonomous regions of country Z.

Although country M has historically expanded its territory rapidly and greedily, today it has also changed its style, and every time it conquers a country, it must support a puppet regime, but it will not be directly under its rule.

Some believe that this is an inevitable consequence of the development of the international environment, and that naked aggression is no longer tolerated.

This is a specious view, because no country in country M can stop anything it wants to do.

The territory of the former Soviet Union is vast and abundant, and there is no one in the world who can beat it.

However, after decades of cold war, the result was that country M and the small countries of Europe became more and more developed, while the Soviet Union, the old empire, was torn apart, and a group of small brothers in Eastern Europe behind it also underwent great changes and then disintegrated.

Europe and the United States, which do not have the idea of great unification, have great strength, and country Z, which has the idea of great unification, stands tall in the east and has survived thousands of years of wind and rain.

This shows that as long as the ultimate goal is to pursue the strength of the country and the nation, every kind of thinking has its merits.

With these considerations, Pang Jindong believes that the Kokang region can be used as a test field, and while maintaining its own independence and integrity, it can pursue another kind of "great unification."

However, Pang Jindong's next words were somewhat contrary to his will: "As for the second article, I can responsibly tell you that the new independent government will definitely not become a puppet of country Z." The reason is very simple, the Kokang Republican Army is directly under the control of my family, and my family is resolutely opposed to the political system of country Z. In addition, it is necessary for me to remind you that which government my uncle, General Pang Wenlan, once served, was one of the best allies of country M. ”

"You have a point. Although Anderson applauded the interpretation of the two articles, as Pang Jindong expected, he quickly asked again about the third article: "How can you guarantee that the Kokang people will not be used by the government of country Z?"

Pang Jindong really has no way to give guarantees, because this "exploitation" has actually begun, and Anderson has obviously obtained relevant information.

Pang Jindong accurately predicted that Anderson had three concerns, and among these three, this one is actually the most critical.

Pang Jindong also expected this, so he stayed at the end to say it.

Pang Jindong didn't say anything for a long time, and Anderson couldn't help but be a little strange, urging: "I'm waiting for your answer." ”
