What he didn't expect was that this time the other party agreed very happily, and immediately agreed to arrange for him to meet with General Jin Zhenyu, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission.

For this legendary figure in the military circle of country Z, Lieutenant General Ava probably knows more than Pang Jindong, and he has also seen Jin Zhenyu before.

What Lieutenant General Ava didn't know was that the study where Jin Zhenyu met him was the one where Pang Jindong went, and it was in this study that Pang Jindong and Jin Zhenyu finalized a bold future.

Lieutenant General Ava was very pleased that Kim Jin-woo was able to meet him, and he even felt a little relaxed when he first came to this study, because it meant that it was a private meeting.

Lieutenant General Ava's visit was a secret one, and on such occasions he could speak his mind freely without having to worry about too many meaningless words.

"Please take a seat!" Kim Jin-woo's face was very cold, as if covered with a layer of frost, which made Lieutenant General Ava's mood that had just thawed a little condensed again.

Lieutenant General Ava forced a smile and said in stiff Chinese: "I'm glad that General Kim was able to meet me......"

Jin Zhenyu interrupted Ava's words: "There is no need to say polite words, now that there are no outsiders behind closed doors, let's talk about it directly!"

Regarding Jin Zhenyu's attitude, Lieutenant General Ava didn't mind, but plucked up the courage to say: "General Kim, in fact, I want to do this too, since we are all soldiers, then let's talk about problems in the style of soldiers!"

"Good. ”

Lieutenant General Ava no longer hesitated, and asked openly: "I have come to your country this time to find out what kind of attitude your country has towards the Kokang War. ”

General Jin Zhenyu did not answer this question, but smiled, and said with a thorn in his words: "The generals of your country visited many East Asian countries some time ago, and even Korea and Dongying have been there, I always thought that you would be the first to visit our country, but I didn't expect to wait for General Ava now. ”

This sentence is against diplomatic etiquette, but this is not a diplomatic occasion in the true sense of the word, and the two men are not diplomats.

In the face of this kind of questioning by Kim Jin-woo, Lieutenant General Ava simply omitted those hypocritical diplomatic rhetoric: "As far as I know, your country has such a custom when holding banquets, that is, you should save the best dishes for the last. I think it's a similar truth in a lot of things, and the most important thing is often saved for last. ”

Lieutenant General Ava's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and Jin Zhenyu bowed slightly. But Kim Jin-woo's position was already known in advance, and no matter what Lieutenant General Ava said, it had no effect on this.

Jin Zhenyu's expression was calm, and he asked slowly: "So, what can we help your country?"

Of course, Lieutenant General Ava couldn't really make any demands on country Z, so he only repeated the question he had just asked: "We want to know your country's attitude towards the Kokang War!"

"Our attitude is ......" Kim Jin-woo looked at Lieutenant General Ava and said word by word: "We resolutely oppose the ethnic persecution carried out by your government in the Kokang region, although this persecution is carried out in the name of safeguarding the country's territory and sovereignty, but it still cannot hide the essence of the crime." Such an act of your country not only undermines peace and unity within the MD, but also poses a threat to the situation in the Indochina Peninsula as a whole. After a pause, Kim Jin-woo added: "These are all things that my country has clearly said in our earlier statement, and the question you ask me now can only get this answer." ”

Lieutenant General Ava took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say, "But there is nothing in your government's diplomatic statement that it will secretly support the rebellion of the Kokang Republican Army. ”

"Oh?" Kim Jin-woo's brows squeezed together, and he asked in a tone that seemed to be a smile rather than a smile, "How can you say that?"

"We have found weapons produced in your country on the battlefield, and we have found that your government has provided a large amount of money to the Kokang Republican Army and that many of your citizens have crossed the border to join the Kokang Republican Army. ”

Jin Zhenyu furrowed his brows, as calm as just now, and explained these accusations of Lieutenant General Ava one by one: "Our country exports a large number of weapons every year, and some of the ordinary weapons are not sold directly to a certain country, but to some international arms dealers. We don't know to whom these arms dealers will sell their weapons. If the Kokang IRA had money and contacts with these arms dealers, it would naturally have our weapons. I'm sure you've noticed that these weapons don't have our country's production mark on them, and they were the ones who did it. Because of the proximity of our two countries, it is not surprising that international arms dealers consider the Kokang IRA to be the best sales market. ”

Kim Jin-woo's remarks were very clever, the lack of production marks on the weapons and the geographical proximity of the two countries could have proved that country Z secretly supported the Kokang Republican Army, but now it has become a commercial choice for international arms dealers.

After taking a sip of water, Jin Zhenyu continued: "As for the issue of funds, it must be clarified that it was not provided by our government, but by our people, who were indignant at your government's persecution of the Chinese, and took the initiative to raise donations. The participation of our citizens in the Kokang Republican Army is for the same reason. ”

"Is there no interference from your government in this regard?"

"We are a ** country, and as long as citizens act in accordance with the law, they will not forcibly interfere, and our laws do not make any provision in these respects. Jin Zhenyu snorted lightly and continued: "When Indonesia and several other countries were hit by the tsunami, my country's people also spontaneously organized a lot of donations, why didn't I see relevant countries come out to express their gratitude?!"

Lieutenant General Ava almost asked, "What if your government is trying to carry out its own political schemes under the guise of the people?"

But when the words came to his mouth, Lieutenant General Ava swallowed again, because this question seemed fatal, but it had no practical significance, not only would the relationship between the two sides be stiff, but Kim Jinyu could completely deny it.

After pondering for a moment, Lieutenant General Ava asked, "In other words, your parliament will allow this behavior of the people to continue?"

"Instead of being concerned about the anger of our people, it would be better for your country to do something more practical, such as eliminating the source of this anger. ”

Lieutenant General Ava immediately understood that Kim Jin-woo was referring to the anti-Chinese incident some time ago, so he hurriedly explained: "The rolling incident was planned by a great Burmese activist of our army, Thonglai, and this person had already been killed in battle a few days ago, if it were not for this, he would have been arrested and court-martialed at this time." ”

"You didn't explain the rolling incident as a spontaneous act of the people, which shows that you still have a certain degree of sincerity. Jin Zhenyu's expression was still calm, but his tone began to become sharper: "But I believe that if your government does not have anti-Chinese tendencies, it is impossible for a mere Tonglai to make such a big disturbance." Seeing that overseas compatriots are being persecuted like that, the anger of our people is completely understandable. I can frankly tell you here that some people have repeatedly written to the Central Committee asking for humanitarian intervention in our country. But given the friendship that has been forged between our two sides over the years, we have not done so, nor have we even come up with any proposals at the United Nations that are unfavorable to your country. ”

"I am very grateful for the support of your government. But......" Lieutenant General Ava looked at Kim Jin-woo's expression and said in a tentative tone: "I hope the general will not forget that the MD Chinese hold MD nationality, not citizens of your country. ”

Jin Zhenyu had expected that Awa would say this, and immediately told him without thinking: "First of all, as a big country and a permanent member of the Security Council, China bears a certain moral responsibility when a humanitarian disaster occurs in a neighboring country; ”

General Ava pointed out-for-tat: "TW to be exact." ”

"You'd better pay attention to what you say, TW is an integral part of the territory of our country. ”

"But after all, it is under the jurisdiction of two different governments, which is an undeniable fact. After a pause, Lieutenant General Ava immediately added: "Of course, my country has always supported the reunification of your country. ”

Fortunately, Lieutenant General Ava added such a sentence, otherwise Jin Zhenyu would have slapped the table and got angry.

Although country Z has always been weak diplomatically, it has an untouchable bottom line, that is, TW.

On any issue involving TW, the government of country Z will definitely not budge. Any attempt to challenge the sovereignty of country Z over TW will be met with a strong counterattack from country Z.

Kim Jin-woo suppressed the anger that had risen, and told Lieutenant General Sù Ava word by word: "Since it is the same country, then anyone who has nationality in that government is also a legal citizen of that government." ”

In fact, it is difficult to say clearly the nationality of Kokang people, especially members of the Kokang Republican Army, because on the one hand they do not have MD nationality, but on the other hand, whether they have TW nationality is also a problem.

Over the years, one of the most popular slogans shouted by the Kokang Republican Army has not been Kokang freedom, but "return my nationality".

When Pang Jindong first arrived at Changqing Mountain, he saw a large sign standing under the mountain, on which were these four characters written in traditional Chinese block letters.

Lieutenant General Ava did not argue with Kim Jin-woo on this issue, because there is no nationality on either side, which means that anyone can pull him to his side as long as the person concerned agrees.

Moreover, after all, the Kokang Republican Army came from country Z, and it was only due to the change of power on the mainland of country Z that such a legacy problem was created.

The MD government has also treated them as foreigners for many years, both internally and externally.

Lieutenant General Ava was therefore worried that the other party would be angry and angry, so he simply restored the nationality of the Republic of Z of the Kokang Republican Army, which would make the problem even more complicated.

That's why he simply pushed the boat and directly assigned the nationality of the members of the Kokang Republican Army to TW, which is actually a very smart approach.

Lieutenant General Ava sneered, and his tone became a little unpolite: "Since your government considers itself responsible to the citizens of TW, there is one thing that strikes me as strange, the Indonesian Exclusion Riot of '98. ”

Although Lieutenant General Ava paused when he said this, it still made Jin Zhenyu clearly understand what he meant.

The government of country Z showed a shocking indifference and indifference to the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia in '98, perhaps because it realized that there was something wrong with its own approach.

In the following period, some official mouthpieces spread many remarks at home and abroad to explain, one of which was that the Indonesian Chinese held TW nationality, and it was inconvenient for the mainland to interfere.

Jin Zhenyu didn't expect Lieutenant General Ava to be waiting for him here, and the anger that he had just suppressed rose again.

At the same time, Jin Zhenyu had to realize that Lieutenant General Ava's words were logically not wrong, and getting angry for this could only show his incompetence.

As a result, Jin Zhenyu had to suppress his anger again, but his tone became more sharp: "On this issue, we have made a mistake in the past, but it does not mean that we will not correct this mistake now and in the future." ”

Seeing that Kim Jin-woo was able to admit his mistakes calmly made Lieutenant General Ava admire this veteran even more: "Since your government has made mistakes, then you should allow others to make mistakes as well." The riots are just a conspiracy perpetrated by a few individuals, and they absolutely do not represent the position of our Government. After taking a few breaths, Lieutenant General Ava said with deep affection: "The friendship between our two countries has a long history, and the current diplomatic relations were created by the leaders of the older generation out of foresight and thoughtfulness, and have withstood the test of changes in the international situation.

Looking at Lieutenant General Ava's sincere expression and expectant gaze, Kim Jin-woo felt both appreciation and regret at the same time, admiring that Lieutenant General Ava was really a talent.

It is a pity that such people should be loyal to a hopeless government.

Kim Jin-woo was almost reluctant to do anything to disappoint Lieutenant General Ava for a moment, but he still had to say what he had to say: "I also hope that our friendship will stand the test, but in view of the anti-Chinese riots that have occurred in your country in the past and now, it is necessary to re-examine this friendship, and the premise of this examination is that the legitimate rights and demands of our citizens can be met." ”

"General Kim......" Lieutenant General Ava almost jumped up from his chair when he heard this: "You mean we want to agree to Kokang independence?"

Jin Zhenyu smiled weirdly: "This is what you said! I didn't say it!"

An ominous feeling immediately took over Lieutenant General Ava's heart, and his face instantly turned pale: "Of course we will respect the legitimate demands of the Kokang people, but ...... But is the demand for independence justified?"

"Nothing is absolutely justified or unjustifiable, and different positions have different understandings of 'legitimacy'. ”

"General Jin......" Lieutenant General Ava slowly stood up and looked at Jin Zhenyu with complicated eyes: "I have received information before I came to your country, and your country is secretly supporting the Kokang Republican Army, but I have never dared to believe ......"
