Chapter 115: Different Dreams in the Same Bed
Huang Geng looked at the people present and softened his tone: "We all know that Southeast Asian countries are guarding against us Chinese from the bottom of their hearts, so the Chinese have tried their best not to ask about politics and live in peace for many years, so as to prevent people from being truthful. ”
Neither Huang Geng nor the other directors present expected Pang Jindong to take the initiative to say these words.
Only Deputy Secretary-General Pang Yanghuan and Zhou Xinnong immediately realized that since Pang Jindong took the initiative to solve the problem, the next step was to solve the problem.
So these people didn't speak, but looked at what Pang Jindong would say.
Pang Jindong immediately corrected Huang Geng's words: "Politics is not a quagmire, but a dangerous game, and this game is something we have to play. Since you play, you can only win and not lose, otherwise you ......"
Pang Jindong stopped when he said this, looked around, and found that the Chinese directors still had different expressions.
Huang Geng immediately asked, "Why do we want to play the political game?"
"Of course you don't play!" Pang Jindong smiled coldly, his tone full of disdain: "The Indonesian Chinese are exemplary in this regard, which is completely in line with President Huang's style of acting, what happened in '98? I was in country M at the time, looking at the Chinese who were brutally poisoned on TV, two words suddenly appeared in my heart, do you know what they are?"
Pang Jindong looked around again, and found that the attention of all the directors was focused on himself, so he didn't wait for others to speak, and immediately gave the answer to the question: "These two words are - deserved!"
When Pang Jindong said "deserved", he not only strengthened his tone, but also deliberately lengthened his tone.
These two words surprised all the directors present, and a few of them seemed to be a little unable to sit still, and planned to rush to Pang Jindong to theorize, but they were stopped by the people next to them.
It is the Indonesian Chinese directors who are more excited, and Pang Jindong stimulates their feelings in this way to pave the way for the next words.
Although the Indonesian Chinese directors did not speak out in the end, Huang Geng complained for them: "Secretary General Pang, don't you, the Association of Southeast Asian Chinese, want to work for the well-being of the Chinese? Why do you gloat over the suffering of the Chinese compatriots?"
"Instead of gloating, I remembered the famous saying that the poor must have something to hate. Pang Jindong pointed to the Indonesian Chinese council and said unceremoniously: "I believe you should understand very well why I said this, if you don't understand, then I can tell you here clearly, why are you persecuted by the Indonesian natives? Because you are infighting, because you are not united, because you kill each other only for ideological differences! It is also because you have never asked about politics, and you have no right to speak in national politics, let alone any influence!" But you are so rich, you control the economic lifeline of other people's countries, you say you don't want to start with you, who will you start?"
Among the Indonesian Chinese councillors, the more prestigious is Lin Yiyuan, the president of the Jakarta Business Association, a short, middle-aged man with a darker complexion than most Southeast Asian Chinese.
Hearing Pang Jindong's words, Lin Yiyuan sneered: "Everyone already knows these truths, I think Secretary General Pang can say some truths that everyone doesn't know." ”
"But everyone knows what I said, but the problem is that everyone refuses to face it. Pang Jindong looked at Lin Yiyuan and softened his tone: "Compared with ninety-eight years and before, how is the life of Chinese people in Indonesia today?"
Lin Yiyuan was obviously very deep in the city, and he didn't seem to have any reaction to Pang Jindong's words just now, so he slowly answered the question at this time: "Although the ** incident still happens occasionally, it has improved overall. ”
"Then I want you to tell everyone what is the reason for this improvement!"
Although the Chinese in Indonesia won the sympathy of Chinese people around the world, there was also a feeling of contempt that surged in the dark, and many mainlanders even shouted on the Internet that they deserved it.
Although these netizens usually have brain disabilities, they also pointed out many problems in Indonesian Chinese.
In fact, Lin Yiyuan's evaluation of "deserved" was very popular, but it was not revealed on the surface.
Because he immediately realized that Pang Jindong was ostensibly attacking the Indonesian Chinese, but in fact he wanted to use it to say something.
Pang Jindong's words clearly made him refute Huang Geng, although he was reluctant to come forward, but he planned to take this opportunity to clarify some things: "The infighting among the Indonesian Chinese in the sixties of the twentieth century is actually not the Indonesian Chinese themselves, but the mainland export revolution, and TW is engaged in ** in Indonesia." ”
"President Lin, if the Indonesian Chinese had taken power and had at least seized a piece of land for self-government, do you think there would have been riots in '98?"
Lin Yiyuan really didn't want to answer this question positively, saying "no" was not in line with the facts, and saying "would" would inevitably offend Huang Geng.
So he could only say: "After the riots of '98, we organized armed security guards to patrol the Chinese community to protect security. Political parties were formed and participated in state politics. Of course, more importantly, Wahid was inaugurated as president, and he was of Chinese descent......"
Although Lin Yiyuan did not say anything to support Pang Jindong, he has proved one thing that Pang Jindong needs to prove: "I believe that everyone has heard something from Chairman Lin's words, and the fundamental way to obtain national security and dignity is not to bury his head in the sand like an ostrich, but to take the initiative to fight for and defend himself." ”
"It's one thing to fight for and defend......" Huang Geng's face turned a little red, and his voice became excited: "But it's another thing to engage in independence!"
"President Huang's recognition of the need for Chinese people to fight for and defend their rights is already a step forward, but I am afraid we need to talk about how to fight and defend it. Pang Jindong looked at Huang Geng, and his eyes became deeper: "Speaking of fighting, living under other people's roofs, people will take it for granted that every qiē you have is given by them, which means that they will take away this qiē at any time;
"I understand what Secretary-General Pang wants to say, but I hope that Secretary-General Pang will not forget that we Chinese in Southeast Asia are not from country Z, but legal citizens of the country where we live, in other words, we are part of these countries, and only the stability of the country is in the interests of the Chinese. ”
"Since you are not from country Z, why do you want to participate in this association run by country Z?"
Faced with Pang Jindong's question, Huang Geng was stunned for a moment and said: "Because I am Chinese after all." ”
"Fortunately, you haven't forgotten that you're Chinese. Pang Jindong smiled coldly and continued: "We people come from different countries, but we all have a common name - the Chinese nation, which you have decided since the day you were born and can never be changed. You can do your best to fit in with the local environment, and you can even abandon the traditional culture, but you have to remember that in the eyes of others, we are still one. ”
Huang Geng couldn't refute Pang Jindong's words, so he had to try to divert the topic, "What we Chinese need to do is to get along with other ethnic groups......
Pang Jindong interrupted Huang Geng's words: "Do other ethnic groups want to get along with you in a friendly way?"
"I believe that communication can solve the gap between each other. ”
"Then President Huang will communicate slowly, but one day when your wife and daughter are dragged by Malay monkeys**, and your body is dragged by Malay monkeys on the street, you don't regret it under Jiuquan. ”
Huang Geng was stimulated by Pang Jindong's words, stood up openly, and pointed at Pang Jindong with trembling fingers: "What did you ...... say?"
Lin Yiyuan sneered, and said thoughtlessly: "Some people are indeed talking too much. ”
Zhou Xinnong saw that the scene was about to stalemate, and immediately came out to play a round: "Today's meeting is to solve the problem, not to create a problem." Calm down, everyone, don't get too excited. Secretary-General Pang is also thinking about the cause of the Chinese, of course. President Huang's words are not wrong. ”
Pang Jindong sighed and said with a little apology: "What I just said is indeed a bit excessive, but I hope everyone here understands that this scene is not impossible." The longest time for the Chinese to settle in Southeast Asia has been two or three hundred years, if the truth is really as President Huang said, such a long time is enough to solve all problems, why is it still clamouring one after another to this day?!"
"I insist that we should take a gentle approach to the problem. Despite the difference of views, Huang Geng was still unwilling to completely fall out with Pang Jindong, so he sat down and softened his tone: "And what I said is also a policy that the government of country Z has been adopting. ”
"If it is really the consistent policy of country Z, then there will be no establishment of the Southeast Asian Chinese Association. Pang Jindong smiled faintly and said in suggestive words: "Do you realize that this shows that the state's policy toward overseas Chinese has undergone a fundamental change, and why has this change occurred? There can only be one reason, that is, the previous policy was wrong!"
Neither Huang Geng nor the other directors can openly oppose the policy of country Z, although they may in fact oppose it.
The people sitting here today have close ties with country Z, either because they have deep feelings for country Z, or because they have very important interests in the country for practical reasons.
So Huang Geng didn't speak this time, and Pang Jindong didn't plan to ask for his opinion, but reminded the people present: "To put it mildly, there are so many leaders and so many think tanks in country Z, and the depth and scope of thinking about the problem are probably beyond all of you here." ”
Pang Jindong brought out an overly powerful backstage, so that Huang Geng still had no way to refute it head-on, but he refused to give up lightly: "Then I would like to know if country Z has ever thought about how other countries will ...... in the future once the Kokang region becomes independent."
"You are not an Internet writer, you have to repeat a sentence many times, and you cheat the manuscript fee. Pang Jindong interrupted Huang Geng's words and said impatiently: "This question has been raised, and I am about to answer it." ”
Huang Geng pursed his lips, forcibly suppressed his anger and said, "Then you can answer!"
This concern of President Huang is a conclusion that seems logical on the surface, but in fact it is strictly out of touch with reality. Please think about it, after the Jews established the state of Palestine, what was the attitude of other countries towards the Jews? After the Albanians became independent in Kosovo, what was the attitude of other countries towards the Albanians? I am afraid that they are getting better and better!"
Most of them looked at each other, most of them didn't know what to say, and only one asked, "How can you be sure that the case of the Jews and the Albanians can be applied to the Chinese?"
If you look back at the history of the world, you will know that the more gentle and weak the nation is, the more brutally persecuted, and the stronger the nation, the more preferential treatment it gets. It is not only individuals who have the behavior of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, but also the state and the government. ”
Pang Yanghuan, who had been beside him without speaking, interjected at this time: "As the saying goes, crying children have candy to eat." ”
Lin Yiyuan looked at Huang Geng, then at Pang Jindong, and asked a question: "It's not enough to have the support of country Z to be bold. ”
"I can tell you frankly that if we don't enter country Z this time, Western countries will support us, at least they will remain neutral. As for the specific reason, I can't say it to you, but let the facts prove it. ”
Lin Yiyuan asked again: "In this case, whether the state aid is bold or open, or secretly, it is enough to act directly, why do you want to come up with such an association?"
"President Lin's question is to the point. Pang Jindong nodded slightly, and then explained: "First of all, I want to admit that you have made great contributions to the Southeast Asian Chinese Association and the Kokang Republican Army, but to put it mildly, with the current economic strength of country Z, you don't need to pay at all." ”
Lin Yiyuan seemed to want to drink water, but he picked up the cup and immediately put it down, and said thoughtfully: "The purpose of our fundraising is not just for money, I am afraid that the reason is the same as the purpose of the establishment of the association." ”
Lin Yiyuan's words invisibly sang and harmonized with Pang Jindong, which immediately caused a series of questions about "what is going on" in the venue.
Pang Jindong nodded slightly: "What President Lin said is right, the truth is the same. ”
Pang Jindong's words made Lin Yiyuan and himself the same front.
And this is what Lin Yiyuan was unwilling, so he immediately said to Pang Jindong: "Then please ask Secretary General Pang to explain it well!"
