Chapter 216: To save face, to give a step
Chapter 216 asks for a face and gives a step
Hearing this, Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but keep beating the drum in his heart, what did Prince Abdullah say? The Kuwaiti royal family can't do it, how can he and Mr. Guo be regarded as a gesture?
"Dear Fang, you also know that due to the invasion of the evil Saddam Hussein's army, not only the original Asian Games delegation players, but most of them are still stranded in Kuwait, and their lives are unknown. It is truly unspeakable that our people have suffered such a calamity. But even so, the emir of our country decided to send a delegation to the Asian Games to be held in your capital! to show our country's support for the sporting events held in your country. Prince Abdullah said as he paid attention to Fang Mingyuan's expression, but felt very strange in his heart. If someone told me before yesterday that one day, I would have to look at a hairy child who was still in junior high school, and I wouldn't believe it!
However, as an aggressor, Saddam Hussein ignored the norms of international law, brazenly invaded our country without declaring war, and betrayed the brotherhood of the Arab brothers, which was unanimously condemned by the entire Shijie people. The UN Security Council has also issued sanctions against it, and for such a rogue country, allowing them to send a delegation to participate in the Asian Games is a blasphemy against the sportsmanship of the Asian Games! China was really blind when it vigorously aided Saddam, a man with wolf ambitions. Allah will never forgive them! ”
Fang Mingyuan understood, this one seemed to be complaining that Iraq could also send a delegation to participate in the Asian Games in the capital. Although he didn't pay attention to this matter, he remembered that in his previous life, Iraq did not send a delegation to participate in the Asian Games, and at the opening ceremony of the Asian Games, he remembered that the host on TV had mentioned it. Before the Asian Games, the most influential thing that happened on Shijie was the Iko-Ku War, and although I didn't understand the meaning of it at the time, I still had a deep impression of many things during this period.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean......" Fang Mingyuan asked tentatively, "I hope that the Beijing Asian Games can refuse the participation of the Iraqi delegation?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes! That's what it means! Prince Abdullah said overjoyed, "China has submitted this bill to the Olympic Council of Asia, but the Olympic Council of Asia has not yet made a decision. We understand that there are people in your country - the government - who believe that sport is not about politics and therefore that Iraqis have the right to send delegations to the Asian Games. In my opinion, if this kind of thing is allowed to happen, it is a kind of taint on sportsmanship! The UN Security Council has unanimously adopted the imposition of economic sanctions against Iraq, and the Olympic Council of Asia, Weishenme cannot impose sanctions on Iraq's participation in the Asian Games? ”
Fang Mingyuan really didn't know whether to laugh or have a headache at this time, this Prince Abdullah couldn't help but think too highly of himself, and he actually wanted to interfere with the decision-making of the government through himself! But the memories of his previous life told him that it didn't matter even if he agreed, and according to the normal course of history, Huaxia - the government - would still refuse the Iraqi delegation to appear in the Asian Games. You can easily settle personal favors. This favor will be worth a lot of money in the future! Not to mention anything else, in the future, Kuwait will exploit oil fields, even if you let yourself take one percent of the shares, this money will be rolling in!
Prince Abdullah looked at Fang Mingyuan's face, which turned red and blue, and thought that he felt that things were difficult, so he hurriedly said: "Fang, Mr. Guo is a well-known person in Hong Kong, and it is said that he is also very familiar with the high-level officials of your country-government, do you think you can ask Mr. Guo to come forward and persuade the government-officials of your country?" Even if it's just a few words for us, no matter whether things work out or not, our country will be grateful in the future! This matter is a major event related to his future prospects, although they are all members of the Kuwaiti royal family, but they are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, Prince Abdullah naturally wants to one day become a pivotal figure in the royal family.
At this time, as the host of Huaxia, his opinion is naturally not something that the representative of any country can ignore, as long as he can favor Kuwait, Iraq's attempt to participate in the Asian Games will be completely ruined.
Fang Mingyuan sighed lightly and said, "Your Royal Highness, to be honest, this request of yours is very difficult. Although Mr. Guo does know many people in the high-level of our country, the government, and in any case, we are just businessmen, not officials, and it is okay to talk about domestic affairs, but this kind of thing involving China's foreign policy is still relatively taboo. Mr. Guo has the heart to say a few good words for your country, but he can't do this. "After all, Mr. Guo is not an official businessman, and he has no official background, and he has never been involved in China's political affairs, except for those related to Hong Kong.
Prince Abdullah was a little surprised and said, "A business leader like Mr. Guo can't ......."
"No, China's national conditions are different, and it is inappropriate for others to interject in anything that involves foreign policy. Not to mention that Hong Kong has not yet returned to China, even after the 97th Century, it is not suitable for Mr. Guo to express his opinion on this kind of issue. So even if I passed on the words, it was just embarrassing Mr. Guo. Fang Mingyuan said with a look of embarrassment.
Prince Abdullah immediately went from the door of his head to his heels, originally thinking that this was a shortcut to Nanshan, but how could he have thought that Fang Mingyuan actually refused. Murtai Suimu is also disappointed.
"It's not impossible, though." Fang Mingyuan suddenly changed his tone. Since in the previous life, the Huaxia government was able to refuse the Iraqi delegation to participate in the Asian Games, then if Kuwait can provide more reasons to give the Huaxia government enough excuse to refuse the Iraqi delegation to participate, it will be a matter of course.
"Huh?" This kind of twist and turn made Prince Abdullah, who was already desperate for Fang Mingyuan, immediately have a little more hope, he grabbed Fang Mingyuan's wrist, and said impatiently, "What way?" ”
Fang Mingyuan raised his hand, his face showed a little pain, and Prince Abdullah realized that he had lost his temper and quickly let go of his hand.
"Actually, it's very simple, as long as your country can unite with all Arab countries except Iraq, reach an agreement to invite the Huaxia government to refuse the Iraqi delegation to participate in the competition, and then send diplomats to Huaxia to submit it, on the grounds that this is an internal affair between Arab countries, please ask Huaxia - government - to respect the wishes of all Arab countries, and to be more resolute, it should be resolute and not hard." Compared with these Arabs, Fang Mingyuan naturally understands the mentality of his country-government-officials.
"Is that okay?" Prince Abdullah was in disbelief. What is the difference between this and the proposal I made at the OCA? His proposal was also endorsed by all the countries of the Arab Shijie except Iraq.
Fang Mingyuan sighed, this thing is a bit unbelievable, if it is said too thoroughly, Fang Mingyuan feels that it is not good. Prince Abdullah's proposal to the Olympic Council of Asia on behalf of Kuwait was also approved by all Arab countries except Iraq when it was voted on, but how could it be face-saving with the officials of the Arab countries collectively asking the Chinese government to make more money. Since ancient times, China has always regarded itself as the Central Celestial Empire, although it has declined in modern times, but with the reform and opening up, the economic strength has been further enhanced, and the status of a great power has naturally risen......
Moreover, with the reason of respecting the wishes of all other Arab countries in the Gulf region, there is also a legitimate reason for refusing Iraq's participation? Moreover, for the sake of Iraq, making enemies with other Arab countries is such a stupid thing that China will not do. As long as - the government - a justified step is given, the Iraqi delegation will have to play on its own at home.
Prince Abdullah and Murtai Suimu looked at each other for a long time, still a little confused, confused, and puzzled, but seeing that Fang Mingyuan said so surely, he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart. Prince Abdullah calculated in his heart that these Arab countries in the Gulf should all agree to Kuwait's request, and although Iran does not dare to guarantee that it will agree, it will never dismantle Taiwan, and they have been fighting with Iraq for eight years, hoping that Iraq will turn over a few times in the international community. Give it a try!
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's hard to explain the reason for this, this country is different, and sometimes many things are difficult for foreigners to understand. Just as it is difficult for Muslims in your country to understand the beliefs of our Taoist followers, I can assure you that there is a good chance that it will succeed. Even if it doesn't work, there's nothing to lose to you, right? However, it is important to hurry up at this time, and do not wait for the Iraqi delegation to leave, so that it will be too late to say anything. At that time, it would no longer be possible for my country, the Government, to keep the Iraqi delegation out. Fang Mingyuan said tactfully.
Islam is a monotheistic religion in which there is no god but Allah; And Taoism in China, I'm afraid it's not Taoism that has Taoists, and ordinary people can't tell how many immortals there are in Taoism. If you meet a Japanese who believes in Shintoism, it will be even more troublesome, mainly in nature worship, belonging to the animistic polytheistic faith, depending on the Shinto religion of various animals and plants in the natural world as gods, the gods are even countless, even an old tree on the side of the road, may be regarded as a god.
