Chapter 444: The Meeting of the Four Nations
After returning to the hotel, Du Le took a short rest, and the president of the island country, Sharif, arranged for people to come to ask Du Le and wanted to invite Du Le to dinner together.
Du Le found that after being busy in the auto show for a long time, he forgot to sacrifice his five internal organs temple, so he felt a little hungry, so he did not refuse Sharif's invitation, changed his clothes in the hotel room, and went to Sharif's room.
When he arrived at Charif's room, he found a wide and conspicuous table on one side of the room, which was already filled with all kinds of sumptuous food.
"General Du, you're here." Sharif stood up, greeted Dule affectionately, and said.
"Hello, President." Du Le laughed.
It was a simple dinner, probably to discuss some key issue, and there were very few people in attendance, except for Charaffe and Tuile, and only Charrif's wife was by his side.
Sharif's wife was a woman of ordinary origin, who did not know much and rarely participated in Sharif's politics. It was because the invitation of country M was more formal this time, and in accordance with the etiquette of the meeting of international leaders, Sharif's wife accompanied him.
It is also because of Madame Sharif's low-key behavior that Du Le, who is closely connected with Sharif, rarely has the opportunity to meet her.
Upon invitation, Doule did not forget the etiquette of being a guest, and first greeted Madame Charrif, whom he rarely met, politely:
"Hello, ma'am."
"Hello, General." Sharif's wife also responded politely.
Before Charif's career, she had met Dule. No stranger to Doolle. Moreover, she heard him mention Du Le from Sharif many times, and naturally knew that Du Le's status in Sharif's mind was extremely high. Even, she is careful, she actually knows that Sharif's success is inseparable from Du Le's support, and Sharif will also consult Du Le's opinion on many decisions of the island country. Hence the lady of Sharif. Treat Du Le with a little more respect.
Simplicity is always good. In the suite. There was no one else but the three of them, which made all three of them very relaxed. After some politeness, the three of them sat down to eat together.
"Tomorrow's meeting. What attitude should we have to deal with? "Wine and food. The Sharif chatterbox opened. He first asked Du Le what he meant about the upcoming four-nation talks.
Du Le knew that Sharif wanted to know his attitude. At tomorrow's four-nation meeting, what position should the governments of the island countries take in the face of the other three countries? Only by knowing the minimum boundaries of the Dao can Sharif be able to play with ease.
However, Du Le did not think much about it like Sharif, because the president of country M obviously has two attitudes towards the arrival of their island country and other countries, which also shows that although country M also invited the island country to come to discuss the increase of troops and benefit the country, this may prove that the island country has something for country M to scruple about, but it still has not attracted enough attention from country M.
In other words, it seems that the attitude of the island countries to attend this meeting will not have much impact.
Therefore, after learning about the attitude of country M, Du Le only had an attitude of attending the talks and acting at the opportunity. How to express its position depends on what country M is prepared to say.
Therefore, Du Le thought about it, and said to Sharif in a particularly transparent tone: "Do you think that the other three countries will care about our thoughts?" ”
Sharif was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled at himself in understanding, and said: "It's true, the island country is lonely on the ocean, the national strength is limited, and the influence is even weaker. ”
Du Le nodded, and analyzed with deep meaning: "There is such a meaning. In addition, I think that the reason why country M invited us to participate in this meeting is because we provided them with information about this secret base in Libya. And their invitation has a sense of wooing. They invited us to come and talk, in a sense, in the hope that we would keep the news shut up. ”
Seeing that Sharif's expression seemed to be a little dignified, Du Le didn't want him to put too much pressure on him, thinking that the matter was very complicated, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he smiled and continued: "This is actually the same reason as the new energy non-proliferation treaty that we signed with China and country M. Country M wants to control the number of people in the know of new energy as much as possible, so that there will be fewer countries that will share a piece of the pie with them, and only in this way can they maximize the interests in it.
Similarly, today they are openly saying that they want to increase their troops in Liguo, but in fact, it is also because they feel that in the secret base of Liguo, there will be 'treasures' that they have not yet discovered, so that we will not leak this 'treasure' to the outside world.
Therefore, although they do not pay enough attention to us, they still have some scruples. As long as we are present at this meeting and have a certain alliance with them, we can give them peace of mind. And in fact, we don't need to have any clear statement. Just go to a regular drinking party. ”
Speaking of this, Du Le saw that Sharif's expression relaxed a little.
Then, Du Le told Sharif his bottom line, after all, it was he Sharif who had to face the other three countries on the surface, as long as he told him his true thoughts, he would know how to deal with these three countries flexibly.
"The only thing we need to consider is how to maximize the interests of our island nation."
When Sharif heard this, he woke up and asked, "So, what are we going to do?" ”
"I think that first of all, we can take advantage of the fact that we have been invited to country M to participate in the four-nation talks this time to strengthen the momentum of the island countries, enhance our international status and influence, and let the leaders of the world pay attention to the voices of the island countries, especially countries like country M, which prides itself as a strong country. Moreover, we must strive to become a country with a voice in the international community. ”
Du Le continued, speaking at a slow pace, emphasizing the next words: "The purpose of this is not just for the sake of the reputation of the island nation. What's more, in the future war of the Earth against the alien fleet, the island nation can hold a certain leadership. ”
When Sharif heard this, his eyes flashed, he knew the news of the alien invasion of the earth.
"I know what to do." Sharif replied, "Tomorrow, I will definitely make my own voice heard." ”
When Mrs. Sharif saw that the two men seemed to be almost done talking, she stood up, took the bottle, and filled each of their glasses with wine.
The next day. The four-nation talks took place in a conference hall in Washington's International Building, the capital of country M. Held in a grand manner.
The news of the talks between the four countries has long attracted great attention from the political leaders of the world's leading countries, as well as the follow-up reports of the major news media of the world's countries. So, outside the Washington International Building. Before the arrival of the dignitaries of the four countries. There have been quite a few media reporters. Wait for these key people to come.
The public agenda of the four-nation talks mainly focused on peace issues in northern Africa and energy development in Africa. and the control of chemical weapons.
As a representative of the military of the island country, Du Le also followed Sharif and attended the meeting as an observer. But from the very beginning, Du Le put himself in an extremely inconspicuous position, and after introducing himself as chief of staff of the aviation command, he did not speak as much as possible.
The leaders of the four countries attending the meeting, President Orr of Country M, Prime Minister Churchey of Country Y, President Moshako of Country F, and President Sharif of the island country, entered the conference room in turn and sat down at an oval table in the center of the conference room.
From the point of view, country M and island country sit on one side, while country Y and country F sit on the other side. Thus, the president of country M faces the prime minister of country Y, and the president of country F faces the president of the island country.
And Durle sat quietly behind Sharif. In this way, he can have a chance to see the big picture and, most importantly, avoid the other three leaders from noticing him.
President Orr of country M looked at the three national leaders, and then spoke first, as the opening of the meeting, and said: "I believe that you have been puzzled recently because of our increase in troops and the benefit of the country. In fact, the M Army has discovered a secret hidden alien base in Liguo, and with the information we currently have, we can be sure that this alien base has powerful firepower. In order to prevent this base from making any moves that threaten human society, we will, after careful consideration, decide to increase the number of troops against the country. "The president of country M never forgets to maintain a posture that looks righteous towards other countries.
"Alien bases? Hehe," said Khuri Chiu, the prime minister of country Y, in a disapproving tone, "if this is the case, I hope that country Y can also send personnel to participate in this operation." ”
It's not that Churchill doesn't believe Orr, but he doesn't think that this alien base will really be as Orr said, how powerful the combat power will be. Because Li is a small country, and the so-called alien topic has no conclusive evidence to prove it, but it is just because country M announced this incident in such a formal posture, and Churchey will believe it, and also hopes that country Y can participate in it to avoid country M monopolizing alien technology.
"Country F, too, should participate in this operation." Moshako said with a smile on his face.
On the contrary, Sharif did not say a word. Because he had already discussed with Du Le yesterday, the island countries want to make their voices heard, but they will definitely not participate in the conflict of interests between several countries, and only need to act at the opportunity and avoid the edge.
Orr glanced at Sharif, and saw that he did not express his position, so he thought that Sharif was a representative of a small country, and he felt that his status was low, and he did not intend to openly compete with the big powers.
So, Orr turned to keep a smile and focused on the leaders of the other three countries: "Of course, country M welcomes everyone's help. However, we must first understand a basic problem, the dominance of this alien base belongs to country M. Since we were the first to send out reconnaissance of this base, this information is also provided to you by our side, you can share information, but please follow our actions. ”
Churchill and Moshako glanced at each other when they heard this, and of course they were secretly a little unhappy. But since what he said is true, for a while, there is no need to put each other in a hostile state, after all, the overall situation is important.
"We hope that our scientists will be present when we dig the base," Moshako said. ”
Churchill and Moshako are also worried that the government of country M is hiding the alien base, but. Again, they had to admit it. Today, Liberia is under the control of country M.
And although both of them are big European countries and have a lot of power in North Africa, they have no room for interference in the country.
Orr kept a smile on his face, but he was a little reluctant in his heart.
With the consistent style of country M, it does not even want to hand over any benefits. But now, reality tells Orr. Country M is the power of one country alone. It may not be able to eat the entire alien base. Therefore, they have to prepare a second set of plans, introducing countries Y and F. In this way, the losses of country M will be lower, and some of the pressures on country M in the international community will be reduced. Since there is a request for a while. Don't be too arrogant.
Anyway. Let's first determine the assistance plans of these countries. Anyway, the entire country of Li is under the control of their country M, what are the other three countries going to do. Want to get something out of it, they M Congress has the opportunity to intervene.
As if in seclusion, Du Le listened carefully to the conversation of the three heads of state, but on the other hand, he was secretly planning his next move in his heart.
Du Le has always believed that the plan to weaken country M is going well.
However, after hearing the conversation of Orr, Churchill and Moshako, Du Le suddenly realized that the M country was far more powerful than he thought. And this kind of strength of country M is definitely not something that Du Le can deal a blow by destroying a supply base of the M army and sinking one or two aircraft carriers.
Of course, Du Le's ultimate goal is not to defeat country M, in order to deal with the alien fleet, he still needs the support of country M's industrial base.
Now, what Du Le is thinking about is whether to continue to enhance the strength of the alien base, and not let country M get the alien base too easily. and the need to weaken country M and continue to reduce the voice of country M in the international community.
Soon, the heads of the three countries reached an agreement for their own interests, as long as they could assist country M to successfully capture the secret shape base of this country, the remaining three countries attending the meeting would have the opportunity to obtain the right to distribute the alien base from country M according to the degree of help they provided.
This meeting, because of Sharif's silence, seems to have become a game of three countries: M, Y and F. It wasn't until the discussion reached the point where the overall situation had been decided that Churchill, the prime minister of country Y, seemed to find out that the island country was ready to participate in the discussion, and said to Sharif in a contemptuous tone: "What kind of help can the island country provide in this operation?" ”
Sharif was not angry, but responded lightly in a particularly calm tone: "The island nation can provide any help. If necessary, we can provide missile support from Uda. ”
When Churchill heard this, he was secretly shocked and said, "You have deployed missiles in the country of Uda? ”
Sharif smiled slightly, and said, "I should know a little about this, Mr. Moshako. ”
Moshako's face was a little ugly, half of the territory of Mozambique, which was supported by country F, had fallen into the hands of the Uda country, and the Uda country had also gained an outlet to the sea. The navy of country F, which was threatened, did not dare to approach the shore at all and fight against the country after learning that the Uda country had missiles.
From this point of view, it is clear that the Uda country has the support of the island nation. Indirectly, the island nation prevailed over country F.
"Everyone, this time I was able to find an alien base, and it was also the information provided by the intelligence bureau of the island country, and I think the island country should have the right to share." Orr really began to win over and reminded countries Y and F countries. Then, he took over the topic of Sharif and asked the point he was most concerned about: "On the island side, are there any conditions?" ”
"Island nations can give up allocation, but we want to be able to get the status of a non-permanent member of the United Nations for the next time," Sharif said. Sharif's proposal was approved by Dule. This is what island countries need to say, to improve their international status.
Orr, Churchill, and Mosako looked at Sharif with a shocked expression, they had no idea that Sharif would put forward such a condition.
If an island country can become a non-permanent member of the United Nations, it will be able to gain a certain international status. Moreover, if the island country obtains this seat, it can participate in global affairs and have a certain right to speak in legal theory. This is important for the future leadership struggle of the island nation.
"I think it's hard." Moshako shook his head.
"As long as you have the support of the three permanent members of the Security Council, M, Y, and F, the island country will have a chance to win this seat." Sharif replied.
Orr thought about it in his heart, but didn't immediately agree, and said, "This proposal needs time to consider. ”
"The non-permanent members of the United Nations also need to be voted for by countries on all continents, and it is not up to the three of us to decide." The rejection in Churchill's words was palpable.
Moshako, no less, suggested shelving the proposal.
The leaders of the three countries unanimously agreed that with the current international status of the island country, it is difficult for it to become a non-permanent member.
In fact, what they mean is that the island countries are not strong enough for them to support them to become non-permanent members of the United Nations.
Du Le watched the reaction of everyone in the conference room, and was a little unhappy.
Sharif didn't mean to be angry, and said lightly: "We only need three people who clearly support the island country to get a seat and vote for the island country." Island countries can support the support of other countries. ”
After listening to Sharif's words, the presidents of the three countries did not say anything more.
The words were clear enough, and they didn't need to say anything more.
At the end of the four-nation meeting, the heads of state of the four countries left the meeting hall and prepared to appear in front of reporters to announce certain processes of the meeting. (To be continued......)
