Chapter 1000: Mr. President's Bad Affair (Ask for Subscription!) )
According to Xu Yinglong's itinerary, at most he will return to China after staying in Jakarta for a day or two, if there are only two flights to and from Jakarta every week, Xu Yinglong really wants to return to China the next day, after all, there are still many things in China that he needs to do.
But his mother suggested that it was best for him to meet the little president of Indonesia before leaving, and since his mother had said so, Xu Yinglong knew that there must be something serious, so he decided to take time to go to the presidential palace the next day.
However, what Xu Yinglong didn't expect was that just after breakfast the next day, before Xu Yinglong could decide when to go to the presidential palace, the small president's motorcade arrived at the eastern suburbs manor.
Seeing that the little president actually came to the manor to visit him in person, Xu Yinglong was surprised and very happy, and secretly said that this little man can sit in the position of president of Indonesia, a country with a population of 250 million, which is indeed outstanding.
Xu Yinglong took the little president to the gazebo in the backyard, and the two plus an interpreter chatted over tea.
"Hehehe, Mr. Xu, the cat is buying and visiting, Haiwang forgive me!" The little man said in broken Chinese.
Xu Yinglong smiled and said, "I was about to go to the presidential palace to find you, but I didn't expect you to come, welcome!" ”
"Mr. Xu is our best friend in Indonesia, and I naturally want to come to see you when you come to Indonesia!" This is said in Indonesian.
Xu Yinglong nodded with a smile and asked, "Mr. President, seeing that you are in such a hurry to find me, is there something wrong in the country?" ”
"There are indeed some problems, and I hope Mr. Xu can help!"
"Mr. President, but it doesn't hurt to say that it is good for us to be friendly. As long as I can help, I will definitely help! Xu Yinglong said very simply.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu. We are in big trouble, and the United States and the Japanese are ready to join forces to sanction us! ”
Hear the words. Xu Yinglong was quite surprised, and immediately asked, "Why?" Are they full and have nothing to do, holding on? ”
The little man sighed and said: "The main reason is that we are now very close to China, so it has caused dissatisfaction between the United States and Japan, especially at the just-concluded National Infrastructure Construction Conference, some of the decisions we made have completely stimulated them, so the United States and Japan decided to fight back." ”
"What did you decide at that conference, and why did the U.S. react the way they did?" Xu Yinglong asked again.
"We decided that in the future, all the large-scale infrastructure projects in Indonesia will be done by the Chinese, so it has stimulated the United States and Japan."
"Why do you want to leave it to the Chinese to do it, can't you Indonesia do it yourself? Isn't infrastructure just about building a building and building a road? Isn't it just to build a school and need the help of other countries? Xu Yinglong asked again.
"Mr. Xu doesn't know, infrastructure construction covers many aspects, and what you are talking about is just the most basic residential construction project, which we can do by ourselves in Indonesia. But infrastructure construction also includes transportation, airports, ports, bridges, communications. Water conservancy, urban water supply, drainage and gas supply, power supply facilities and fixed assets required to provide intangible products or services in the sectors of science, education, culture and health, and there are many projects with very high technical requirements, which we in Indonesia have not yet mastered. ”
Xu Yinglong nodded and said, "So I understand." It means that there is a part of the infrastructure that you can't do on your own, and you need to invite external tenders, right? ”
"Yes, yes, yes. That's it, mainly including projects such as railways and hydropower stations. According to the previous plan. We sent invitations to the United States, China, Japan, India and other countries to invite their companies to undertake our projects. After comparison. We found that the conditions given by the Wa Kingdom and Huaxia were the best, and the technology was relatively mature. However, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to decide which one to use for a while. The little man said.
"Did you choose Huaxia because of my relationship?" Xu Yinglong asked with a frown.
"There is a certain relationship, and it is not all! Mainly out of consideration of national interests, in fact, from the beginning of the two sides of the Chinese side to give us not very satisfied, mainly because our Indonesian economy is not very strong, so we do not have so much money to do this. However, Huaxia and Wa Guo did not consider this, and the plans given were all huge plans that required the government to be tens of trillions of dollars at once, especially the Wa State, which actually proposed an investment project of 30 trillion yuan in 20 years, including more than a dozen areas of Indonesia's national economy. ”
"Since you are not satisfied, you don't need it, why did you suddenly adopt Huaxia's plan again, is there any secret in it?"
"Well, because the Chinese people revised the plan in time and put forward a three-year construction investment plan of 800 billion US dollars. In addition, the precondition of the original plan was a low-interest loan, which required a debt guarantee from the Indonesian government. However, the plan given by the Huaxia people not only does not require financial burden and debt guarantee at all, but also includes conditions such as early completion. ”
Then the little man continued: "Let's put it this way, the plan given by the Chinese people is tailored to our needs, and it is a limited edition. Although the Japanese people also added a supplementary plan later, it still could not overwhelm the plan of the Chinese people, so we decided to hand it over to the Chinese enterprises to carry out the construction. ”
"Although this business involves hundreds of billions of dollars, it is just a business after all, so why are the United States and Japan so excited? Besides, this is still a trade competition between China and the Japanese state, what does it matter to the United States? Xu Yinglong said puzzled.
The small president immediately said: "In fact, the main reason is that Indonesia's geographical location is too important, so the United States and Japan do not want Indonesia and China to get too close." Indonesia has a unique position in Southeast Asia, and as the world's most populous Muslim country, it has a very important voice in the Islamic world. It also plays a key role in ensuring the safety of Asia's sea lanes. As the largest country in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has made remarkable progress in the practice of democracy. Especially in the context of the grand strategy of the United States to return to the Asia-Pacific region, they are very worried that Indonesia and China will get too close to each other and affect their strategic layout. ”
"What are they going to do?" As for the process, Xu Yinglong didn't bother to ask more, just know about it, the focus is on what the two stinky hooligans plan to do.
"They intend to double sanction Indonesia militarily on the broker river!"
"Double sanctions? What do you mean, one side does not do business with you, and the other side sends troops to beat you? Xu Yinglong understood.
"It's not that serious! A few days ago, the United States and Japan simultaneously amended their domestic tobacco laws. The ban on cigarettes circulating in their territory is a huge loss to Indonesian cigarette producers, who account for 90 percent of the U.S. cigarette import market, with an import value of up to $500 million, and the U.S. plans to reimpose military sanctions on us. ”
Thinking that Xu Yinglong did not seem to understand the specific meaning of military sanctions, the little man explained: "The so-called military sanctions are not direct military attacks, but refer to the suspension of military-technical cooperation, the suspension of military exchanges, the cancellation of military aid, the restriction of arms exports, etc., which is a form of sanctions with serious means and results." ”
"As long as it's not a direct military attack, what are you afraid of, but Indonesia is also a big country, and if he doesn't sell you weapons and equipment, he won't buy them, what are you worried about?" Xu Yinglong said.
As soon as the little president heard this, he knew that Xu Yinglong didn't know much about political affairs, and immediately smiled bitterly: "Military sanctions alone are nothing, as early as the end of the last century to the beginning of this century, the United States imposed military sanctions on us for six years, and I am worried that they will take some despicable means against us." ”
"What despicable means?"
"Buying our political enemies and subverting our regime is a common trick used by the United States and the Japanese people, and they have done such dirty things in the Middle East." The little president said worriedly. (To be continued.) )
