Volume 5 Five Mountains for Light Chapter 36 The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
That evening, General Win Swe, Chairman of the Law and Order Restoration Committee of the Union of Myanmar and Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar National Defense Forces, met with Lu Zheng at his official residence.
In the splendid meeting room, except for Lu Zheng and General Wen Rui, there were not many attachés present.
Myanmar is one of the poorest countries on Shijie, but the luxury of its military and political leaders is also rare in the world.
When meeting with General Wen Rui, Lu Zheng first expressed concern about the political situation in Myanmar, and his series of diplomatic rhetoric was extremely handy.
After the two of them expounded their views on the political situation in the region and the political stability in Myanmar, Lu Zheng gradually led the topic to the constitution.
In fact, in the previous life, the Burmese military refused to allow the Democratic Alliance Party to come to power on the grounds that the constitution should be formulated first and then handed over power, and when Lu Zheng chatted with Naishan, he only explained in advance the methods they were originally going to adopt.
"Myanmar is an agricultural country, in the commercial economy, in the past, more dependent on overseas Chinese, and your country's nationalization process has failed, I think, the role of commerce and trade in the economy is extremely huge, but your country's "Citizenship Law" to some extent imprisons the so-called naturalized citizens' enthusiasm for building the country, in fact, a country, want social progress, can accommodate diversity is the right way, in our Chinese words is the sea of rivers. Therefore, I hope that General Winshwe will consider amending your country's Citizenship Law, and I think it will be a very constructive step in maintaining our traditional friendship. Lu Zheng said and smiled, "Of course, this is just a personal opinion of mine in private. ”
General Wen Rui was stunned, he had heard of Lu Zheng's background, members of the red family, don't look at Lu Zheng's personal opinion, but this is likely to represent the views of the red faction of the powerful northern neighbor on the diplomatic line and the dissatisfaction with the policy of Burmese citizens, now Myanmar is in turmoil, it can be said that if the military government wants to take power, it will inevitably be strongly sanctioned by Western countries, so, without the support of the northern neighbor, I am afraid that the regime will collapse in minutes.
Pondering, General Wen Rui said, "I will seriously consider the minister's opinion. ”
Lu Zheng sighed again and said: "My driver is a native of Yangon, his ancestors are overseas Chinese, he was taxed layer by layer during the general election, and he was arrested because of some skirmishes with the tax officer. ”
General Wen Rui was stunned and said, "Is there such a thing? Weishenme tax increase? I think it was a misunderstanding. ”
Lu Zheng smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "I also think it's a misunderstanding." In fact, in the eyes of the Burmese authorities, they are only afraid that naturalized ethnic businessmen are cash cows, and every time the government's finances are tight, they will slaughter it.
Of course, this is not particularly for the Chinese, as is true for all naturalized ethnic groups, with the largest numbers of Chinese and Indians bearing the brunt.
The refusal of the Burmese military junta to hand over power on the grounds of pre-constitutionalism caused an international outcry, and soon after, waves of demonstrations and protests broke out in Myanmar, violent clashes broke out one after another, and soon in Yangon, the military junta declared martial law, the army began to enter the city, and there were several bloody incidents of shooting at protesters
In the evening of that day, when Awang's father, who went to the hospital to see him, returned to the embassy, Lu Zheng received a call from China, it was his mother who called, asked about the situation in Myanmar, asked Lu Zheng to pay attention to safety, and said with a smile: "You are now a quasi-ambassador, handling diplomatic work, I heard that you know a little, and you have a thorough analysis of the political situation in Myanmar, many old diplomats praise you, it is estimated that after a while, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will officially appoint you as ambassador to Myanmar." "I can hear that my mother is very proud to have such a capable son.
In fact, Lu Zheng's administrative level could have been appointed as ambassador to Myanmar, but he had never worked on the diplomatic front, and he was too young to directly take charge of himself, and after more than three months of observation, especially after Ambassador Yang returned to China, Lu Zheng had already taken charge of the overall work of the embassy and was ready to appoint him as ambassador to Myanmar, indicating that the leaders of the ministry were quite satisfied with his performance.
Lu Zheng smiled: "Mom, I told you a long time ago, your son and I are all good and loose." ”
Han Jing laughed over there, laughed a few times, and said, "Also, the wedding date between you and Iris has been set, next month, that is, June, the twenty-fourth, Qinglong is on duty, the auspicious day of the zodiac, and grandpa personally chooses the day for you." ”
"What? Mom, you're not kidding, are you? Lu Zheng almost didn't believe his ears and was stunned.
"We've all discussed this, you're not too young, it's time to take care of it, Iris, although she is young, she is very sensible, and your father and I like her very much. Besides, it's not just what our family means, no matter what you think, just obey, besides, I think you're not worthy of other people's little girls, so you can laugh, and I don't know where the luck came from, so you saved someone's life. Saying that, Han Jing laughed again, thinking about it, she felt that this matter was also funny.
Lu Zheng is very helpless, white yarn bag, his mind also has nine tricks, naturally knows some traditions of the Chinese, this is not, his father and mother are captured.
To say, thinking of the white gauze bag, the faint warmth and expectation in my heart can't hide from myself, to have such a partner, for myself, a reborn person, it is really a gift from God, because until today, among the people I know, there is also a white yarn bag, that domineering aura, so that I will have admiration.
But the question is the white gauze bag, what do you think about it? She doesn't understand what marriage is all about, and whether it is because her family first mentioned the divorce that made her angry, because in this world, there is never something she can't get, so when her relatives refuse this marriage, it makes her rebellious, and she has to marry herself.
Most of the time, she is in this state of mind now.
And her current age is too young, although, many times, she can make people completely forget her young age.
Scratching his head helplessly, Lu Zheng said, "Mom, do you know how old Iris is?" As he spoke, Lu Zheng felt a sense of guilt in his heart.
Han Jing smiled: "I'm a little younger, but isn't it sixteen?" In the Federal Republic of Germany, with the consent of the parents, it is already possible to get married, I heard that it is fourteen before, but it seems that it is impossible, otherwise the people of the Sandru family can agree? ”
Lu Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that the white gauze bag is getting more and more amazing, at least on issues involving herself, she can completely persuade the family leaders to follow her train of thought.
"Okay, this matter is decided, don't think about it too much, just wait to be the groom's official." Mom's tone was unmistakable.
Lu Zheng sighed, it seems that he has to find Bai Shabao to talk seriously.
Hung up the phone, it was already night outside, Lu Zheng lit a cigarette, thinking about the matter with the white gauze bag, in the distance, there was a faint firecracker-like gunshot, faintly, it seemed that a heavy cannon sound sounded, and the earth was trembling slightly.
After smoking, Lu Zheng walked out of the office, only to find that Ah Wang was squatting by the door.
Seeing Lu Zheng come out, Ah Wang got up, his face flushed slightly, and stammered: "Sir, I, I don't know how to thank you......" Speaking of this, this honest man began to wipe his tears with his sleeves.
On the night when Lu Zheng negotiated with General Wen Rui, Ngawang's father was released from the police station and was immediately sent to the hospital, but he didn't want to, it was just a simple physical examination, but it was found out that Ngawang's old father had stomach cancer, fortunately, it was early and he could do surgery to remove the cancer cells, but the high cost of surgery required made Ngawang's family helpless.
For this kind gentleman, Ngawang really didn't know how to repay his kindness.
Lu Zheng patted Ah Wang's shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, manly man, crying, what does it look like." ”
Ngawang shook his head, choked up, and said a thousand words, but he couldn't say them.
At this moment, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the stairs, and a middle-aged man in civilian clothes walked up quickly at the staircase, who was Liu Fan, the head of the Security Section of the Administrative Office (Office) of the Embassy.
In Myanmar, the military government has strengthened the military and police guards in the embassy district.
However, although the Republic does not send military police, in fact, several of the Yu Department of the Security Section of the Embassy's Administrative Office are retired soldiers, and Liu Fan is an officer who has been transferred to a new job.
Liu Fan hurriedly came to Lu Zheng's side, lowered his voice and said: "Minister, something happened, General Nayama broke into the embassy and sought political refuge, it seems that Wen Rui found out that he wanted to carry out a coup d'état to force the palace, so he struck first, the gunfire just now should be the armed forces loyal to Wen Rui and General Nayama's guards exchanged fire, it seems that General Nayama failed." ”
As he spoke, Liu Fan's face was cloudy, and many people in the embassy knew that the minister had a close relationship with General Nayama, and it was not even known whether General Nayama had participated in the coup d'état, and it was not known whether the minister had participated in the coup d'état, and seeing that the coup had not been carried out, General Nayama was obviously not the opponent of the scheming Chairman Wen Rui, but he really didn't know how to end it next.
Lu Zheng nodded slightly and said, "What about others, I'll meet him and bring him to the reception room." ”
The reception room was on the first floor, Lu Zheng comforted Ah Wang, and when he went down to the first floor, he saw the embarrassed Nai Shan walking over accompanied by Liu Fan, faintly, General Nai Shan's shoulders seemed to be stained with blood.
Beside them, Wang Xiaoqi and Du Xiaohu were there, and someone drove into the embassy, so they naturally arrived quickly.
Outside, the guns were roaring, and it should be that Naishan's armed forces were still desperately resisting in the city, but looking at Naishan's embarrassed appearance, it should be that the general trend has gone.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the reception room, General Naishan grabbed Lu Zheng's hand and said anxiously: "Lu, you have to help me no matter what, don't hand me over to Wen Rui." ”
There is no doubt that Lu Zheng is now his only life-saving straw.
Naisan was already ambitious, and two months ago, he was even more interested in investing in Myanmar's investment company, so that he got acquainted with an agent of a Western consortium, named Acheson, Mr. Acheson is very handy, talking about his behind-the-scenes boss, willing to fund General Naishan's political activities in Burma, if General Naisan obtains the highest power in Burma, his behind-the-scenes boss is willing to inject 100 million US dollars into the Burmese company, and the proceeds will be shared with General Naishan.
Naisan couldn't help but feel a little moved, and later in contact with Acheson, he learned that Acheson's behind-the-scenes boss was a black market arms dealer, and he could provide Naisan with hundreds of sets of the most advanced special forces combat equipment, so that he could quickly raid Chairman Wen Rui's official residence during the coup.
After Naisan received a deposit of $10 million from Acheson to help him buy the military faction bosses, he finally made up his mind, he was ready to take advantage of this political turmoil to force Wen Rui to go into the wilderness, although the envoy of the red family in the northern neighbor did not say it explicitly, but the meaning of the words seemed to have been hinting at him something, and now with the support of the Western chaebol, it can be said that everything is ready.
But I didn't want to, accidentally leaked the news, was attacked by Wen Rui first, and suddenly announced that he would be relieved of his duties and surrounded his official residence, Naisan escaped through a secret passage, it sounded, the fierce battle in the city continued, but thinking about it, Wen Rui must have made full preparations, near Yangon, the armed forces that were loyal to Wen Rui had an absolute advantage, and they were preemptive, so the chance of a reversal was very small.
Thinking about the next terrible situation, Nayama shook his head in frustration.
