Lu Zheng sighed and said, "You know, I can't make decisions about this matter, and I need to ask for instructions from China." As he spoke, he motioned to the staff to serve tea and frightened Nayama.

General Naisan said: "However, the leaders of the Communist Party of Burma are now under the protection of your country, aren't they? ”

Lu Zheng said a little helplessly: "These are two different things. ”

Naishan also knew that what Lu Zheng said was true, and leaned back on the sofa dejectedly.

Lu Zheng pondered and said: "But don't worry, I will definitely try my best to help you fight for the greatest rights and interests, and I will protect your personal safety no matter what." ”

Nai Shan was in good spirits at this time, and sighed in his heart, Minister Lu can be regarded as a benevolent and righteous person, in such a situation, political refuge is cloudy, there is no hope, and others will inevitably refuse their requests coldly, involving politics and personal friendship between countries, it is not worth mentioning, and it is just a prince.

Outside the reception room, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Naishan's spirit immediately became nervous, and he saw a young man walking in from outside, coming to Minister Lu's side and whispering a few words in Minister Lu's ear, and Minister Lu's expression became serious.

"General Naishan, wait a minute, I'll go out and have a look." Minister Lu stood up, and the female translator also walked out.

General Nayama's nerves were tense, and he asked in despair, "Is it Wen Rui's person?" ”

Lu Zheng nodded slightly: "Chairman Wen Rui's adjutant is here to negotiate, and I will talk to him." ”

General Nayama was like falling into an ice cave, and he looked at Lu Zheng's back with a feeble gaze.

In another reception room of the embassy, Lu Zheng met Wen Rui's adjutant Deng Min, who was also dark and thin, with a little fierce light in his mouse-like eyes.

Deng Min first produced a series of materials and photos to prove that he had conclusive evidence of Naishan's entry into the Chinese Embassy, including the testimony of the military police in the embassy district.

"I hope that Mr. Minister will put the overall situation first and hand over the traitor Nayama to us to deal with." Deng Min is neither humble nor arrogant, but his tone is resolute and leaves no room for bargaining.

Outside, the Myanmar military and police have surrounded the embassy, of course, it can also be said to protect the security of the embassy.

Listening to Deng Min's words, Lu Zheng smiled and said: "China's position has always been to hope that the political situation in your country will be stable, but General Nayama has already submitted an application for political asylum, and according to the procedure, we will conduct an assessment, and it will take about one to two weeks, and at that time, we will send an official letter to inform your government of our decision."

Deng Min frowned and said: "Mr. Minister, this is very inappropriate, Naisan intends to launch a coup d'état and murder the supreme leader of our country, if your country shelters him, it will cause irreconcilable rifts in the relations between our two countries."

Lu Zheng said: "I understand your concerns, but please also consider our position, if there is a rift in the relationship between our two countries for this, I think the reason is still your country." ”

Deng Min's face was cloudy, he was really unwilling to be sent away like this, but the attitude of this Minister Lu was very tough, and he couldn't get the answer he wanted if he continued to talk about it.

Just as he hesitated, there was a gentle knock on the door of the reception room, and a Chinese diplomat hurriedly entered, came to Lu Zheng's side, and whispered a few words in Lu Zheng's ear.

Lu Zheng bowed slightly, and immediately turned to Deng Min and said, "Outside the embassy, the people from the General Staff of your country's National Defense Force have spread the word that there is an urgent notice to convey to you. ”

Deng Min was stunned, and seeing that there was no result in what he said, he had to get up and said, "Then, on behalf of President Wen Rui, I hope that after a week, I can get a fair answer from your country. ”

Lu Zheng nodded, and on the side, his own diplomat sent Deng Min away.

Lu Zheng picked up the teacup, drank the tea, and also got up and walked out, Wang Xiaoqi walked in quickly, came to Lu Zheng's side, and said in a low voice: "I just received information that Wen Rui was seriously injured in today's conflict, and there are two sources, one says that his guard captain turned against the water and suddenly shot at him; Another source reported that unidentified militants stormed his suburban villa where he was hiding, and that he was wounded by stray bullets in the chaos. ”

Lu Zheng bowed slightly, but did not squeak.

For more than a week, the Burmese government did not send an embassy to deal with the matter in Naisan, and it was clear that there was a great deal of chaos within the country.

During this time, a large-scale popular demonstration in Yangon was crushed by military tanks, the scene was very bloody, the death toll is said to exceed 300, and the junta announced that the Pakatan Harapan Party was outlawed.

Next, the news that Chairman Win Swee was shot and killed was finally announced by the Myanmar military junta, and the former Myanmar Deputy Defense Minister U Thant announced his appointment as the chairman of the Myanmar Commission for the Restoration of Law and Order, the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar National Defense Forces, and the Myanmar defense minister.

In a statement issued by U Thant as Chairman of the Law and Order Restoration Committee, he vowed to end the bloodshed in the country and called on the people of the whole country to unite in this difficult time to fight for the new Myanmar. Efforts are made to maintain peace and stability in the country and to restore law and order in Myanmar.

U Thant also promised to hand over the power to lead the country to the democratically elected government when the conditions are ripe, but the most important thing now is to restore law and order and peace to Myanmar, which continues to be bloody, and that any political party or civil society group that violates this purpose will be punished with the most severe punishment.

After a series of bloody clashes and coups, it is clear that the Burmese people are also tired of the current chaos, and opinion polls show that the majority of the population welcomes the chairman's statement of the Law and Order Restoration Commission, and there is a general hope that the opposition parties will obey the government's decrees and restore peace.

On the evening of the day after U Thant was sworn in as head of state in Myanmar, he secretly visited the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar, accompanied by a handful of personal attachés.

In the reception room where Lu Zheng once received General Naishan, Wu Dan and Lu Zheng had a secret meeting for three hours.

After U Thant left the Chinese Embassy, Lu Zheng went to the wooden building where General Nai Shan now lives.

More than half a month has passed, and General Nayama is like a frightened bird every day, and he is becoming more and more thin and haggard.

Every day Lu Zheng would come to see him, which made him feel a lot more at ease, if in the evening, he could not hear Lu Zheng's footsteps, he would be like an ant on a hot pot, pacing around the house, as if a catastrophe would come anytime and anywhere.

Today, when Lu Zheng sat down and drank tea, talking about the meeting with Wu Thant just now, Naishan's face changed slightly, and he said: "Lu, does your government accept my application for political asylum?" ”

Lu Zheng smiled and said: "It's nothing, Chairman U Thant believes that you are an extremely dangerous person who intends to launch a coup d'état to subvert the state power, but Wen Rui, who was shot and killed in the coup, is a brutal ruler, so the new government will not pursue your legal responsibility, but you will be listed as persona non grata, and you will be deported along with your wife and children." ”

Nayama was stunned, during this time, he almost never asked about his wife's life and death, and his face was happy, "Lu, xiexie you, I know, this is what you helped me fight for." "As long as he is not tried in court at home, then everything is easy to say, with his savings abroad, he can enjoy fine clothes and food for the rest of his life.

Lu Zheng said again: "As for me, I also helped you contact a few countries earlier, and now there are three island countries in the South Pacific that are willing to accept your application for political asylum, and there is plenty of time, and when I pick up my wife to the embassy tomorrow, you can have a good life with your family and think about which country to live in in the future." ”

Naishan nodded again and again, and even couldn't help but grab Lu Zheng's hand, and said excitedly: "Lu, you are really my great benefactor, and I will never forget your kindness." ”

Looking at his situation, Lu Zheng couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but then shook his head, international politics is originally bloody, isn't it?

In fact, U Thant is the ruler of Myanmar that Lu Zheng really hopes to establish a long-term friendship.

Because in his previous life, it was U Thant who forced Wen Swe to abdicate two years later, and since then he has ruled Myanmar for more than ten years, and he is an out-and-out strongman.

If you choose one of Nai San and U Thant, you hardly have to spend time thinking about it, Nai Shan? Who knows if you will be able to truly rule the country after actually ascending to the top of the highest power?

Compared to the unknown of Naishan, U Thant is obviously an unquestionable choice.

Therefore, Nayama can only be the fate of pawns and victims.

Although U Thant is only one of the powerful factions in the military today, he has a very high reputation, as long as he is given a chance, he will definitely be able to step onto the highest political stage in Myanmar, and he has helped him create this opportunity.

From the Mutiny in Naisan to the coming to power of U Thant, there is more or less his own shadow behind it, and with the passage of time, U Thant should have understood this.

And the closer relationship between himself and U Thant is that the Western consortium he has brokered is willing to provide him with the necessary funds to stabilize the initial political situation, and after he takes power, he will inject 100 million US dollars into the Burma company, and the proceeds will be divided fifty-fifty with U Thant's relatives.

For myself, the initial investment is also a good deal from a pure business point of view, injecting capital into a company that monopolizes the lifeblood of a country's economy, no matter how poor the country is, this business is also a sure profit, as long as there is no major political turmoil.

For U Thant, the overseas investment will help the company in international trade, not to mention that the capital injection will allow his family to share the company's wealth.

So this deal is a win-win situation.

From a political point of view, he hopes to establish a friendship with the future ruler of Burma, and although it is strange that this friendship is now entangled, at least it has achieved its goal.

History has not changed much, and the ruler of Myanmar will still be General U Thant for the next ten years, but the difference is that he has established a relationship with U Thant with common interests.

And Wu Thant should more or less know in his heart that he helped him, without Naishan's rashness, there would be no bloody conflict, and after Wen Rui was seriously injured and hospitalized, Wu Thant appeared as a high-profile liberator to end the chaotic situation, so that he won the hearts of the people, and temporarily solved the problem of the opposition asking for power.

As for the relationship between Myanmar and China, U Thant has always pursued a policy of left and right, maintaining the strategic balance between China and India, which is also the way for small countries to survive.

It is unrealistic to say that he is one-sided with China, but the strange bond he has established with him will inevitably make him have a certain influence on him, and thus affect his choice on some key issues.

In this way, one's purpose is achieved.
