The meeting lasted more than four hours, and the parties had been hopeless, bargaining, and by the time the meeting adjourned at 2 p.m., no agreement had been reached.

However, some progress has been made.

After the meeting, the head of the Chinese delegation was interviewed by more than 100 journalists from major mainstream media from all over the world.

It means that the meeting has reached a consensus within a certain range.

However, the differences are still very large, and the parties will hold several rounds of bilateral consultations to minimize differences and reach a consensus on the first topic as soon as possible.

to proceed to the following topics.

It is said that the six-party talks have attracted the attention of the media around the world, after all, it involves two countries with a large number of strategic nuclear weapons.

If the talks collapse, it is not impossible to cause a nuclear war.

On the afternoon of the 30th, the United States and China held a bilateral meeting, asking China to use geopolitical influence to increase pressure on Sakhalin.

On the morning of May 1

Sakhalin held bilateral meetings with Russia and China, respectively. At the same time, the United States has held bilateral meetings with France and the United Kingdom.

Two o'clock in the afternoon,

The third six-party meeting of the round of talks began, and the meeting lasted until 7:30 p.m., lasting five and a half hours.

It's a marathon negotiation.

It's a bit long, but it's worth it. The six parties finally reached a preliminary consensus: Sakhalin will reduce 63% of its nuclear arsenal of nuclear warheads.

Cut all ground-based ICBMs.

Cut 19 of its 25 strategic (ballistic) nuclear submarines, including all 10 Delta I and all 9 Delta 3.

4 Delta 4 and 2 Typhoon will be retained.

Reducing 40 of its 53 attack nuclear submarines, including all 29 Victor 1, 2 and 3 types, all 9 Charlie 1 and 2 classes,

As well as all 2 Mack-class nuclear submarines.

Six Oscar-class cruise missile submarines, three Sierra 2 multipurpose nuclear submarines and four Akula 1 multipurpose nuclear submarines will be retained.

Cut all Tu-95 series strategic bombers, retain Tu-23 Backfire bombers.

From this list, it is not difficult to see that the reduction is in the longer service equipment, and the shorter service and more advanced equipment are retained.

The United States, of course, is not happy with this.

In its envisage, it would be better for Sakhalin to abandon all strategic forces, if not all, strategic nuclear submarines.

In this way, the threat to the United States can be minimized.

But the head of the Sakhalin delegation, during a bilateral meeting with the United States, made it clear that even under sanctions, he would not abandon all strategic nuclear submarines.

However, there is no legal basis for sanctions against Sakhalin at the level of international law.

The main elements of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty signed in 1968 include a provision that non-nuclear States undertake not to manufacture nuclear weapons.

Do not directly or indirectly accept transfers of nuclear weapons from other countries.

However, this does not apply to Sakhalin, because Sakhalin's nuclear weapons belong to the legacy of the former Soviet Union, not to be made by it.

It should be born with it.

Therefore, unless the United States imposes sanctions, there is no reason for the United States to impose sanctions at all. But even the United States cannot act completely recklessly.

After much deliberation, the United States had no choice but to abandon this idea.

The first topic was followed by the second, which defined the scope of the Sakhalin territory. This is obviously more difficult.

Territory has been a sensitive issue since ancient times.

What's more, the blood of Russians is born with the blood of territorial expansion, and they have an almost perverted pursuit and attachment to the territory.

Sure enough, the Fourth Six-Party Conference was at an impasse at the outset.

Russia insisted that Sakhalin's territory be limited to the former Sakhalin Oblast and Primorsky Krai. Sakhalin, for its part, clings to its present territory.

The two sides do not give in.

In the end, the heads of the delegations of the two sides even quarreled at the meeting venue, and had no choice but to adjourn the meeting. The same was true of the fifth six-party meeting since then.

Seeing that no breakthrough can be made for the time being, the second round of the Six-Party Talks can only be concluded.

On the third day after the conclusion of the second round of the Six-Party Talks, Wei Xiong personally led a business delegation of Webster Holdings to visit Vladivostok, the capital of Sakhalin.

This time the itinerary is public.

As a result, it has attracted a lot of media attention, and there is speculation about why Wei Xiong personally led a business delegation to Sakhalin at this time?

Is it really a purely commercial purpose, or is it an ulterior motive?

Just when all kinds of speculation were abounding, news came from Vladivostok:

Standard Chartered Bank was given the authority to set up branches in Sakhalin's administrative districts and will provide Sakhalin with a $10 billion low-interest loan.

The $10 billion will be used for economic reforms in Sakhalin.

There is no doubt that this is big news.

You must know that although Sakhalin has been recognized by the international community, Russia is still opposed to it, and the threat of war has not been completely lifted.

If Wei Xiong invests a lot of money in Sakhalin, isn't he worried that he will not return?

What makes Wei Xiong willing to take risks?

In addition to this blockbuster, the two sides also signed other cooperation agreements. For example, Webster Holdings obtained Sakhalin's first mobile communications license,

Kelon Petroleum was granted access to the Sakhalin market, among others.

In addition, there are media reports that China has sent a 15-member economic advisory team to Sakhalin to advise on Sakhalin's economic reforms.

This report was asked by the media at a regular press conference of the Chinese Foreign Ministry afterwards.

The spokesman did not deny it, but only vaguely stated that China is willing to provide assistance to all friendly countries in need to the best of its ability.

As you can imagine, with the $10 billion loan provided by Standard Chartered,

Coupled with China's fairly successful economic reforms so far, it won't take long for Sakhalin's economy to emerge from its current predicament.

Weixiong stayed in Sakhalin for seven days.

During these seven days, Weixiong lived in the Pushkin Palace, the center of power in Sakhalin, showing the outside world that Sakhalin attached great importance to Weixiong.

It also shows the close relationship between Ivanovsky and Wei Xiong.

However, what the outside world did not know was that whenever Ivanovsky was asleep, Wei Xiong would evade the guards and come to Ivanovsky's room.

The aim, of course, was to hypnotize Ivanovsky.

Because even after such a long period of hypnosis by Sallypova, in Ivanovsky's eyes, Weixiong is still only his closest brother.

A partner you can trust unconditionally.

This seems to be enough insurance, and everything that has happened during this period of time proves the whole point, but everything is not afraid of 10,000, only 10,000.

Only the most loyal servants can guarantee that nothing goes wrong.

It is worth mentioning that Ivanovsky's original wife did not live in the Pushkin Palace, but did not appear in public.

Accompanying Ivanovsky was his secretary Shalipova.

In the upper echelons of Sakhalin, the relationship between Ivanovsky and Shalipova has long been no secret, and it is almost known to everyone.

After finishing his trip to Sakhalin, Weixiong flew to Beijing.

The person who picked up the airport was still Zhao Jun, but now Zhao Jun is no longer the director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, but was recently promoted to deputy general manager of the State Council.

Being directly promoted from the director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office to the vice premier of the State Council is definitely an exceptional promotion.

In addition to Zhao Jun's own ability and outstanding business achievements, there is also a very important relationship with his personal relationship with Wei Xiong.

Among the many officials in the central government, Zhao Jun is the most familiar with Wei Xiong.

And the central government just needs a person who can communicate with Wei Xiong in big and small things, as long as he can communicate well, he has always made great achievements.

After being promoted to vice premier, Zhao Jun remained in charge of Hong Kong and Macao affairs.

Therefore, it is still his duty to greet Wei Xiong. When he saw Wei Xiong walking down from the plane, Wei Xiong immediately greeted him.

The two are also old acquaintances, just a few polite words.

Then Zhao Jun pulled Wei Xiong hard and insisted on inviting Wei Xiong to lunch. Seeing this, Wei Xiong couldn't refuse, so he went to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse together.

During the meal, Zhao Jun brought up Sino-British relations.

First, he talked about the chairman's visit to the United Kingdom, and then said with a smile: "The British Prime Minister has confirmed that he will visit China on the 8th of next month." ”

Wei Xiong smiled slightly: "This is a good thing." ”

In fact, he already knew about it. At his behest, John?? Naturally, Major will spare no effort to improve relations with China.

Although there are many obstacles.

But John?? The benefits of improving relations with China, as Major argued, are clear, and most of the obstacles have been overcome.

The only and greatest obstacle is the United States.

However, in the eyes of the outside world, John?? Major doesn't seem to be very interested in the United States, or President George W. Bush.

Take the way Sakhalin was handled.

The US media just revealed a week ago that Bush did not intend to make Sakhalin a member of the United Nations so easily.

At least make Sakhalin pay a bigger price.

Such as a promise to give up more strategic forces or cooperate with the United States in other areas. As long as this is in the national interest of the United States.

But for some reason, the British government strongly supported Sakhalin and colluded with China.

This makes the United States rather passive.

After all, China is also a permanent member of the Security Council and has a large influence in Asian, African and Latin American countries, holding at least dozens of voting rights.

In the end, after weighing it up again and again, Bush let Sakhalin go.

After the UK's goodwill, China will naturally not turn a blind eye and start communication and consultation with officials at the level of deputy foreign ministers.

to the ministerial level, then to the vice-national level, and finally to the top leader of the country.

The process only took a little over a year.

It has also signed high-level cooperation agreements such as the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, which is not unfast in terms of state-to-state relations.
