Chapter Thirty-Six: The Morning Light Returns

U.S. Secretary of State Kelly has landed on the island again.

But this time it was completely opposite to the last time, with a fierce face.

Zhu Wei knew why he came, so he handed over this job to Song Ximo to be fully responsible for the meeting.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I remember that when the two countries were about to establish diplomatic relations, what you promised us was to promote the American-style people. Lord, why is it now an absolute monarchy? Klee doesn't beat around the bush and gets straight to the point.

Song Ximo smiled and said: "Mr. Secretary of State, I think you must have misunderstood, our Ming Kingdom has never made institutional commitments to the United States, and second, we are not an absolute monarchy, we are still a constitutional monarchy." ”

Kryan said: "You are a scoundrel. ”

Song Ximo said with a smile: "You misunderstood, we will definitely fulfill our commitment to the United States, and we will never regret it, but we can't admit what we didn't promise, and Mingguo is different from the United States, just founding the country and the people's wisdom has not been opened, but we have independent judicial and financial power, and there will be no corruption and judicial injustice in the future, isn't this good?" ”

"I want to tell you that the United States is a democratic country and the world's most powerful country, and it is only with the support of the United States that East Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea have become developed countries. It follows that democracy alone is the cornerstone of any country in the world."

"As far as I know, there are multiple forms of government in the world, and there are a lot of non-democracies among the allies of the United States. Why can't we? Our Ming Kingdom has been a monarchy in the world for hundreds of years, but I don't think this will affect the friendship between Ming and the United States. ”

"What I want to say is that the U.S. government and people are worried about the Ming system, and perhaps we will suspend aid to Ming because of this. Withdraw the construction crew. Kelly didn't buy Song Ximo's words at all.

"Mr. Klee, I think you're really backtracking if you do that. We, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, have pledged to make the United States a firm ally, and if you abandon the Ming Kingdom, it will definitely be a loss to the United States Government. ”

"But I think Ming Guo should reconsider this constitution."

"I think you are mistaken, just like your constitution is publicly elected, our constitution is also elected by the people of the Ming Kingdom, the people of the Ming Kingdom may not be rich enough, and they have not seen enough, but the people of the Ming Kingdom have a loyalty to the emperor that is incomparable to all countries in the world, and His Majesty the Emperor also has a love for the people like a son that all politicians in the world cannot do. Singapore is also independent. American-style democracy may be correct, but it may not be true that our democracy is not correct. I think we still have to open our hearts and expand our understanding, you say? ”

Klee was right to think about it, so he said: "We, the American people, can't fight against one independent person. Rest assured, we demand that the U.S. Navy have access to the waters of the Ming Kingdom to protect the Ming Kingdom. ”

Song Ximo said with a smile: "Your Excellency, our Ming Kingdom is a protectorate of the United States, but it is also a sovereign country, when the United States adopts military passage in the face of a country that does not even have a small boat, is it not afraid of the world's jokes?" There is no problem with our Ming country, the American people are friends of the people of Ming country, do friends come to a friend's house to knock on the door first? In this way, the United States is the protectorate of the Ming Kingdom, and the US Navy can cruise on the high seas, but if you want to enter the Ming waters, I suggest that you make a report first. It's not a hassle. The Ming Kingdom really wants to regard the United States as an ally, and His Majesty the Emperor also hopes to purchase military weapons from the United States in the near future. If that's the case, we'll have to go to other countries and buy it. ”

Kelly had no choice but to ask about the constitution one last time.

Song Ximo said: "Although the constitution stipulates, but the Ming State will not completely have the final say in the emperor, the power of His Majesty the Son of Heaven of the Ming State will still be delegated, the prime minister's bill will be reviewed under the door, and the prime minister and the emperor need to sign for deliberation, if the review is opposed, it cannot be implemented, but the emperor can exercise a special order, and the emperor's signature can be implemented." In addition, the prime minister is also required to sign the bill proposed by the subordinates, and the prime minister will vote again if the opposite side is opposed, and if more than 2/3 of the votes are approved, the prime minister can be skipped and signed by the emperor. ”

Keli nodded: "It sounds very reasonable, but I will still feed back the news to President Ma Ao Ba in time, and this matter still needs his consent." ”

Song Ximo said: "By the way, the $5 billion promised by the American people is only $100 million, and the Ming Kingdom is now very financially tight, and I hope to implement it as soon as possible." ”

Keli was helpless in his heart, who told the United States that he still needed to win him over, once Huaxia and Ming formed an alliance and established a military base on the island, then the west coast of the United States would be in danger. So I still have to go back and report to Ohachi President Ma early.

As soon as Keli left, Song Ximo went to report the situation to Zhu Wei. Zhu Wei is inspecting the construction site on the island, and there are many projects being built on the island at the same time, such as the construction site of Huaxia and the US Embassy in Mingming, the seawater desalination plant and solar power plant built with the aid of the United States, the construction site of the Mingcheng apartment project in the Ming Kingdom, the two seven-star hotel projects and commercial bank projects invested by the Ming royal consortium under the name of Zhu Wei, the Minghua Friendship Hospital in the eastern capital, the Minghua Middle School, the Minghua Primary School, and several highways built with the assistance of Huaxia.

There are also the Huaxia Wanda Commercial Plaza project invited by the Minister of Commerce Xia Haiyan and Yan Song, as well as several commercial hotel projects. At the same time, there are also Goldman Sachs Mingguo branch project and Citibank project. Of course, the most are the branches of foreign media in Mingguo.

For these two companies, Zhu Wei doesn't have a good impression, one is a greedy world financial predator, and the other is a vampire who is eyeing the Ming Kingdom.

Juwei has to go around every day, and the situation on the island changes every day. Huaxia has received a large amount of orders, and recently 10,000-ton cargo ships have been heading to Mingguo. Zhu Wei heard Song Ximo's report and knew that Song Ximo had already done it, so he relieved his heart that Mingguo's attitude towards the United States was to make some concessions while keeping the bottom line, which would be beneficial to both sides. I don't want to fall out with the United States yet, because the airports and ports that the United States promised have not yet been built. The $4.9 billion in financial aid has also not been forthcoming.

On Sunday, a phone call woke Guo Siyan who was sleeping. Guo Siyan took the phone, and a somewhat unfamiliar man's voice came into her ears.

"Hello, is it Guo Siyan?"

"Who's Hey?"

"Hello, I'm Zhang Chenguang from CNTV, remember? Last time we had dinner together in Songhai. ”

The image of a young intellectual instantly appeared in front of Guo Siyan's eyes, ah, it turned out to be him.

"Oh, I remembered, haha, I was sleeping just now, a little confused, I didn't hear it."

"Haha," a hearty laugh came from the other party, "Miss Guo, no wonder she is so good-looking, she likes to sleep beautifully." ”

Guo Siyan was a little embarrassed and said, "What's the matter, it's not good-looking at all, it's ugly." ”

"That's right, due to the transfer of work, I came to the reporter of the Songhai branch, and now I just arrived in Songhai, I originally wanted to invite a few of your friends to dinner tomorrow, but today I want to buy some daily necessities, but I am not very familiar with Songhai, can I ask me to be a tour guide for me."

"Ah" Guo Siyan was surprised, don't you really like yourself, uncle, I'm only 21, okay, although age is not a problem, but I feel that Zhang Chenguang is not my own dish at all.

"If you're busy, you'll be able to do it another day, and I'll come back to meet you all."

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, isn't it just shopping for a meal, I'm good at this."

"Haha, okay, I'll see you later."

"Uh-huh."

Hanging up the phone, Guo Siyan calmly recalled Zhang Chenguang's attitude all the time, and seemed to have some good feelings for himself, and the sixth sense indicated that he was very likely to be transferred here for himself, thinking that if people really traveled thousands of miles to run from Yanjing to Songhai for themselves. I was a little touched in my heart.
