Pang Jindong originally thought that as soon as Cheng He saw him, he would definitely talk about the Kokang War, and maybe he might ask himself long and short questions.

But Cheng Hechu didn't do this, just smiled slightly, and whispered to Pang Jindong: "It's good to come back safely!"

Cheng Hechu's words inspired Pang Jindong's emotion: "What I am most concerned about now is not personal safety.......

"Hehe!" Cheng Hechu smiled and said lightly: "The old man doesn't take the liberty of guessing, you should have shouldered a heavy responsibility when you returned to China this time......

Because of Cheng Hechu's status in China and his personal relationship with Jin Zhenyu, Pang Jindong did not intend to hide him: "I just came back from General Jin......"

"Oh......" Cheng Hechu nodded, and asked again, "What is the result?"

Pang Jindong sighed, and said regretfully: "Didn't give me a clear answer, I think he may need to think about it for a while, and he also needs to report to his superiors, and then analyze and study!"

Cheng Hechu's gaze unconsciously looked into the distance, becoming very profound, obviously contemplative. After a long time, Cheng Hechu said thoughtfully: "If the old man is not bad, our country should make a certain amount of assistance to the Kokang people, the difference is only the amount and scope! It may only give some food, medicine and funds, or it may be comprehensive support!"

Of course, Pang Jindong was happy to see this result, but how Cheng Hechu made this inference made Pang Jindong very interested: "Why did Uncle Cheng say that?"

"There are two reasons, one is external causes, and the other is internal causes!" Cheng Hechu's brows furrowed slightly, and while thinking, he analyzed Pang Jindong and said: "I just looked at the news on the Internet and found that the newly elected president of country M made a very strong statement on the recent situation in MD, which shows that country M is likely to interfere. ”

Pang Jindong nodded: "I know." ”

"Country M would love to use MD to blockade one of our bases, so we can't sit idly by. In this case, we have only two options, the first is to support the current government of MD, and the other is to support the Kokang, and it seems that the former is the most likely. ”

"On the surface, it seems that for our country, supporting the current MD government is the most suitable choice...... Pang Jindong nodded again, and then said: "First of all, this is in line with our consistent foreign policy, which is to maintain the status quo while not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. We do not even support the Nepalese Maoist guerrillas who uphold the same political beliefs, let alone overseas Chinese who have never taken it seriously; secondly, the risks they take are minimal, and supporting the new regime will inevitably face many variables, and it may also attract criticism from the international community; thirdly, the cost of such an option is also the lowest. ”

Hearing Pang Jindong's words, Cheng Hechu was quite interested: "You said that it looks like this on the surface, but what is the actual situation? You might as well say it and see if it is the same as the old man's analysis!"

"Okay, then I'll talk about my humble opinion!" Pang Jindong smiled slightly, and his tone was very modest: "If we look at reality and analyze reality through superficial phenomena, we should make completely different choices. First of all, the MD junta is a totalitarian and dictatorial junta with a very poor image in the international community. It is easy to tarnish our own image and make the Western world see us as one of those countries...... It is a great pity that most of the regimes that can become our allies are such regimes, and one North Goryeo is already notorious, wouldn't it be even worse to have another MD?"

"yes. Cheng Hechu sighed: "Over the years, supporting a country that can't even eat rice and broth has made us suffer criticism from the outside world! When there is no choice, we can endure it, and since we have other options, it is necessary to reconsider!"

Pang Jindong continued: "Secondly, the current MD government is an alien race after all, and it is not as reliable as our own flesh and blood compatriots; third, Western countries have been operating on the MD Peninsula for a long time, and once the MD military government collapses, they can immediately put a puppet regime on the throne, and we will inevitably be helpless." The problem is that the MD junta cannot last forever, and we must prepare in advance. ”

"Is there any other reason?"

"Not for the time being. After a pause, Pang Jindong continued: "Judging from these three reasons alone, we should support the Kokang people, what does Uncle Cheng think?"

The last two of Pang Jindong's three reasons are basically the same as those said to Jin Zhenyu, but the first reason, Pang Jindong thought about it again and again, and finally didn't say it.

Because this opinion is too sharp, it affects the overall diplomatic layout of the current country, and Pang Jindong's current focus is only on the Kokang region, and he is neither willing nor able to make a complete change to exchange ideas and opinions with Cheng Hechu in private, Pang Jindong has less such scruples, so he can say it bluntly.

"The future is terrifying....... no, it should be said that the hero sees something the same!" Cheng Hechu stroked his palms and laughed, and told Pang Jindong: "You are completely with me!"

"I'm glad Uncle Cheng can say that!"

"I don't know much about the MD country, if the current junta falls, who do you think is most likely to come to power!"

Pang Jindong replied without thinking: "Of course it's Aung San Suu Kyi!"

Cheng had heard of Aung San Suu Kyi, the largest opposition to MD today, a nonviolent advocate of democracy who won the Sakharov Prize in 1990 and the Nobel Peace Prize the following year.

Cheng Hechu only knew so much about Aung San Suu Kyi and her person, so when he heard Pang Jindong say this, he asked strangely: "I only know that Aung San Suu Kyi is a very remarkable woman in the modern history of Asia, is she also a puppet secretly manipulated by Western forces?"

"Uncle Cheng, Aung San Suu Kyi has done many things worthy ......of respect, but there are also some things that may not be glorious," he smiled coldly, and Pang Jindong said slowly: "Back then, her mother was appointed as the ambassador of the MD government to India, so she followed her to India. After graduating from secondary school in India, she went to Oxford University in England to study politics, economics and philosophy, and also studied at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, where she later married a British academic. In the 80's, he worked for a while in Dongying and Bhutan. In the nineties, she rushed back to MD to visit her because her mother had suffered a stroke...... Uncle Cheng, what can you find out from this woman's past life experience?"

"Most of her life, especially growing up, was spent in Western countries!"

"I think it's ridiculous that Aung San Suu Kyi spent her young years abroad enjoying family fun with her husband and children, and she didn't live in MD for a long time, and she didn't know enough about the current situation of the people, and as a result, she went into politics as soon as she returned home. After a pause, Pang Jindong said: "There are two details in this, one is that the timing of Aung San Suu Kyi's return to China is too coincidental, and the other is that if she wanted to strive for the happiness of the MD people, she should have taken action a long time ago, but she didn't see such a thing in her past years!"

"But why has she been able to win such widespread support and reputation in MD's country?" Cheng Hechu shook his head in confusion: "As far as I know, one of the most taboo topics to talk about in MD is about Aung San Suu Kyi!"

This is largely due to his father, General Aung San, who was a national hero at the time of MD's independence, but he was also a domestic slave with three surnames. ”

Hearing Pang Jindong's words, Cheng Hechu had a feeling of sudden realization: "Speaking of which, this woman may really be the agent chosen by Western countries!"

"That's right!" Pang Jindong nodded: "I still have a lot of respect for Aung San Suu Kyi herself, her ideas are not wrong, and they can even be said to be beautiful." The political and social state she hopes for is a world of order and norms sprinkled with love and equality for all beings. Unfortunately, while her goals are glorious, her motivation for pursuing them may not be glorious. ”

"Hey......" Cheng Hechu sighed, both a little emotional, and a little helpless to say: "Politics is so complicated...... Do a good job, young man, I am optimistic about you. ”

"I just want to pave a bright road of my own in this complex and chaotic world!"

"Well said. Cheng Hechu nodded approvingly: "I believe you can do it." ”

"I still need more guidance from my seniors. ”

"Don't say that, I'm ashamed to kill the old man!" Cheng Hechu waved his hand lightly and praised meaningfully: "The future belongs to you young people!"

Now that everyone is wearing high hats for themselves, Cang Hao also hurriedly gave a sycophant: "You seniors need to guide us more!"

"Do you know what you admire most about you?" Without waiting for Pang Jindong to answer, Cheng Hechu said directly: "Because you call yourself an idealist, but you are very pragmatic in doing things......

Pang Jindong's heart blossomed happily, but he was not shocked on the surface: "Tell me in detail." ”

"You have ideals and strive for them, but at the same time, you think about problems and start from reality. After a pause, Cheng Hechu said a little helplessly: "Doing things, especially for young people, should be like this." You first think about what the world needs, and then think about what you can do, and don't talk about things that you don't have. If there are too many boundless things, it is easy for people to float, and the higher they float, the worse they fall. ”

Pang Jindong nodded solemnly: "Go on." ”

Cheng Hechu asked rhetorically: "Do you want to be the emperor?"

"I don't want to. Pang Jindong shook his head: "Because this world does not allow any more emperors." ”

"That's right. Cheng Hechu nodded approvingly: "Seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, one anger makes the world ambush millions of corpses, and even a man wants this." The world doesn't allow it anymore, but you can get that power in other ways. ”
