Chapter 2062: Confrontation

(20 points)

"Mr. Minister, do you have a timetable for the 'peaceful' settlement of the Taiwan issue?" Rice, who was unwilling to be "bullied" by Mr. Minister like this, took a deep breath and said, "I've heard about it, and now the people on the island of Taiwan are fluctuating, and if you don't come up with an effective way to do this, I'm worried about ......."

Speaking of this, a meaningful smile appeared on Rice's face.

Yes, now on the island, people's hearts are fluctuating, everyone is in danger, and everyone is pondering a question: will the PLA really call? What is Taiwan's future? Will the Americans really choose to support Taiwan without hesitation, as they secretly promised to Taiwan, when Taiwan needs them?

Originally, the Taiwanese people had an answer to these questions in their hearts, and in 1996, didn't the mainland do the same thing, and the scale of the mainland's joint military exercise was not much smaller than the scale of the multi-service joint military exercise, but in the end, it was not honestly retracted under the interference of the United States?

But in this case, since we are sure that the mainland will not take this opportunity to call, and the Americans will not watch the Chinese fight like this, why do you still feel panic in your heart?

This is also a matter of course, and you are not afraid of such a thing? When someone shoots at you every day at your doorstep, is your heart trembling?

Therefore, the situation facing the island of Taiwan is quite bad, and the stock market has been plummeting every day for two months in a row, not to mention that those big businessmen and big capitalists with strength and ability are even more trying to transfer their property out of the "country" by all means, lest the wealth they have worked so hard for will be given to "communism" by the PLA that has been beaten over. It's just that these capitalists and big businessmen who are in a hurry to sell their assets in Taiwan to cash out have obviously forgotten that many of them still have many companies and factories on the mainland, and if the mainland wants to "communist" their wealth and enterprises, how can it be delayed until today?

Of course, Mr. Minister understood what Rice was referring to, and nodded, Mr. Minister's expression was very calm, "Of course, I agree with what you said, it is true that people's hearts are fluctuating on the island now, and in this case, it has had a certain impact on the economy and production on the island and the lives of the people, but I must have made a mistake Miss Rice......"

Saying this, Mr. Minister took a sip of champagne from his glass, "The current chaos on the island, to a large extent, should be borne by you, the U.S. government. ”

"What?" Rice, who had just been waiting for Mr. Minister's answer, full of joy and hope to see Mr. Minister's embarrassment, her eyes suddenly widened, and she couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of the foreign minister of a country that pursued a "low-key life", "Mr. Minister, although I hate and respect you, I hope you will not be open-minded...... Contrary to what you think, I firmly believe that the biggest reason for the current fluctuation on the island of Taiwan is entirely caused by your impulsive military decision. ”

"It seems like this," in the face of Rice's provocation and reversal of black and white, Mr. Minister's counterattack was even sharper, "but I would like to ask you, Miss Rice, since Taiwan is an inalienable territory of our Republic, a part of our national territory that you also recognize in official legal documents, and the Taiwan issue is our country's internal affair, then why do you still grossly interfere in our internal affairs?" If it weren't for the fact that you had become the backstage of those Taiwan independence forces in Taiwan and provided them with support, how could Taiwan have not returned to the embrace of the motherland by now? ”…,

At a time when the US Government recognizes that the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government of the mainland and Taiwan, and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of the People's Republic of China and is the territory of the People's Republic of China, all the fetters it will do to the mainland on the Taiwan issue in the future will be a crude involvement in the internal affairs of the Republic. Rice still has to respond to Mr. Minister's obvious remarks of reproach and dissatisfaction. "Yes, but our country has the "Taiwan Relations Act", which is a formal law that conforms to the provisions of our Constitution, so we ......"

Before Rice could finish speaking, Mr. Minister rudely interrupted Rice's words, "Miss Rice, I cannot agree with your words, the "Taiwan Relations Act" itself is untenable from a legal and diplomatic point of view, and fundamentally violates the spirit of the three Sino-US "Joint Communiques...... What would your U.S. government do if China, while recognizing that the 51 states of the United States are an integral part of U.S. territory, also enacts a "Relations with Alaska Act," "Relations with Okinawa," "Relations with New York," and even "Relations with Washington, D.C.," assuring these states that they will be protected if they encounter armed intervention from the U.S. government? ”

Rice's face changed suddenly

Of course, he knows that unless China wants to completely provoke the United States, it is absolutely impossible for China to pass such a few "Relations with XX Laws", but the truth is this reason, why should you the United States be unwilling to fall on our heads?

The truth is the same, but why do you Americans apply such a set of bandit logic to us that you yourself are unhappy with?

Obviously, this issue has become an issue that should not be discussed, and if it continues to be discussed, Rice can't predict what it will become in the end, so in the face of this change, Rice had to smile reluctantly, "Mr. Minister, are you kidding?" ”

"Of course, it's just a joke," Mr. Minister, who got the result he wanted, shrugged his shoulders and immediately apologized for his "reckless" behavior, while raising his glass to Rice, "I'm sorry, Miss Rice, maybe I was too excited just now, so the analogy was not very appropriate...... In any case, let's toast to the peaceful recovery of Taiwan, a wanderer who has been adrift overseas for many years, in my homeland."

Mr. Minister does not want to continue to dwell on this issue, that is really good news, Rice is also relieved, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Mr. Minister, first of all, congratulations, you have done what your successive foreign ministers wanted to do, but have not been able to do, so ......"

Speaking of this, Rice's brows furrowed slightly, and he thought about it seriously, and then continued, "According to what you say, you have achieved a brilliant political achievement, and with this political achievement, I believe that you will definitely be able to continue to rise one step higher in the next few years, or you may eventually become the prime minister of your country." ”

Mr. Minister is now the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, a ministerial-level leader, and the difference between him and the prime minister of the government is not much, and there is only one administrative level in the middle, but the actual difference is very far away, from the provincial and ministerial level to the national level, and the gap is simply incalculable

Of course, Mr. Minister knows that he basically has no hope of stepping up to the national level in his life, and with this achievement, there may be some hope for him to reach the vice national level, but the compliments of others are always happy, especially the compliments of himself are the "national level" leaders of another country. …,

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Rice," Mr. Minister nodded in gratitude at first, "but in my opinion, I have no chance of going to a higher position," and before Rice's long mouth was about to say something, Mr. Minister had already taken the lead in saying it, "I am not capable enough, and my personality determines that I am the most suitable to be an executor." ”

Hearing Mr. Minister's words, Rice's mouth that had just opened couldn't help but shut back.

Of course, he didn't mean anything good at what he said, and even just now she deliberately made her words a little louder, so that the Chinese officials around her could hear that if the foreign minister of the republic was not ashamed to answer the words, then with the "cautious" character of the top leaders of that country, this guy's political career would almost come to an end, and at worst, he would be transferred to a department whose rights were greatly weakened, and he would not be allowed to stay in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs...... For the United States, the absence of such a "threat" from a foreign minister is really a good thing to celebrate.

It's just that Rice regrets that in the face of the fishhook he sent to him, the minister did not bite the hook, and modestly said that his ability was not enough, and he was not suitable to be the top leader of the government, but only a specific executor...... When Mr. Minister said this, the faces of those who had been paying attention to the republic here suddenly softened a lot.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

PS:,Hehe,I'm sorry,Borrow some time from you again~~~

It's just that after laughing, everyone is still a little sad in their hearts, we used to ride on the heads of the Chinese to bully them, when did the Chinese actually want to show us a face? Although everyone thinks that this Taiwan incident is just a coincidence by the Chinese, allowing them to take advantage of a big loophole.

But the problem is that even if it is a loophole, it also needs strength, if it is replaced by a small country like Singapore and Malaysia, and encounters something similar, even if they see the loophole of the United States and let them drill, will they dare to drill? When we look back, the United States will not clean up the dead

But Chinese is different, Chinese are not afraid of the next possible retaliation from the United States against them...... They have the confidence to deal with the possible retaliation that the United States will take on them next. Come to think of it, this is where the Chinese really have confidence, they are not afraid

Yes, they are not afraid

Just the word "not afraid" is enough to explain the reason why the Chinese have such an arrogant attitude this time, because they are not afraid, since they are not afraid of themselves and have no fear of the United States, then the way this matter is handled is naturally how beneficial to them is.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

The signing ceremony between China and the United States on the peaceful settlement of the Taiwan issue was not very public, and even in order to save face for the Americans and not excessively provoke the Americans, the signing ceremony was very low-key...... Who said that Americans only talk about defeat and don't pay attention to face? Americans also know how to handle this kind of matter that has a bearing on Americans' face.

The low-key signing ceremony was naturally followed by a celebratory reception to celebrate the "smooth and successful" conclusion of the negotiations...... As for why the U.S. government refuses to pay for this money, the reason is that compared with what everyone knows, from this point of view, the Americans are really a bit "small-bellied", and it will not happen if it is left on the republic...... In addition, the reception also adhered to the "low-key" style required by the U.S. government in advance, except for the team of the Chinese and American delegations involved in the negotiations, there were no outsiders, simply put, it looked like an internal drinking party organized by a certain company, or the kind of company that was not very rich. …,

"Miss Rice," Mr. Minister said with a glass of champagne in his hand, and a smile on his face to toast Rice, "thank you and your government for your great contribution to the friendship between China and the United States during this time, and I would like to toast you on behalf of myself and the Chinese government." ”

Rice's expression was not very good, and after hearing Mr. Minister's words, it was even less good-looking, but the good professionalism still made Rice raise his glass to Mr. Minister after being slightly stunned, although at this moment when the mellow champagne was drunk in his mouth, it made Rice feel bitter and astringent, almost difficult to swallow, but she still swallowed the champagne in one gulp, "Thank you, Mr. Minister, I need to congratulate your country, they have a very good diplomat and negotiator, Your country has a lot to gain because of you. ”

This is Rice's sincere words, in the past, when the republic negotiated with other countries, there were times when he had good cards in his hands, but the diplomacy of the republic at that time was like a beginner who could not play cards, holding a good hand of cards in his hand but not knowing how to play, wasting many good opportunities in vain, and now, the republic finally appeared a good hand of "playing cards", although the skills of this "playing cards" did not reach the level of masters, compared with those rookies before, Technology is undoubtedly much better.

But the Chinese have such a good card player, which is not a good thing for the Americans, and even for those countries that have always supported China with a less friendly attitude.

"Thank you for complimenting me, but in my opinion, the reason why this negotiation was successful is not my own credit," Mr. Minister at this time, inheriting the tradition of Chinese people's modesty, Mr. Minister said that he did not agree with Rice's words, "In my opinion, the main reason why this negotiation can finally reach a satisfactory result for both China and the United States is because the result of this agreement is beneficial to both of us, and under this premise, this result can be achieved." ”

Bull****Sonofa**, all

Look at this boast in front of yourself...... In fact, a more positive adjective would be "humble...... Rice's heart has a strong urge to pour champagne in his hand on the head of the bastard man in front of him: this bastard, who took advantage of the current opportunity of the United States to withdraw from the negotiations, has made enough advantage of the United States, but now he is still brazenly talking in front of himself that the United States bowed its head this time because "the reason why this negotiation can succeed is because it is beneficial to both China and the United States." ”?

It's a bastard, it's shameless, there's no bastard more bastard than the bastard in front of him, if possible, Rice even wants to stuff the champagne in his hand into this bastard's mouth along with the wine glass, I've seen a bully, I've never seen such a bully, didn't you just win a negotiation, as for showing off in front of the old lady so arrogantly? Rice had forgotten that when she won victory after victory, she showed off more in front of her opponents than the current minister.

But for Rice, the biggest problem is that this idea can only be an idea, and there is no possibility of implementation, which is too embarrassing, especially for a foreign strong woman like Rice, who has never suffered a loss in negotiations, it is even more psychologically uncomfortable.

Seeing that Rice was uncomfortable and couldn't let out his anger, Mr. Minister's mood became more and more pleasant, in fact, he came to Rice to toast, and this was the idea in his mind. At that time, Mr. Minister was a member of the Sino-US WTO accession negotiation team, and coincidentally, Rice was also a major member of the US negotiating team at that time, because the WTO accession was actually what the Chinese side wanted from the United States, and the United States naturally understood this, so the United States, which held the bargaining chips in its hands, did not make it less difficult for the Chinese negotiators, and Mr. Minister was severely humiliated by Rice several times. This time, I finally got this field back.

Rice definitely didn't expect that she was almost angry with Mr. Minister, because of the ......Sino-US negotiations on China's accession to the WTO a few years ago.
