Chapter 204: Peace
(Bachel0r, the baby is a little wealth fan, Snow Silver Poppy, -Golden Snake & Elf-, Tang Chao (Tang Chao) monthly ticket and ruthless feather helmsman, Red Magic Cube, Quan Guanqing (not, it's a full refund) Protector, finally understand L's reward)
Park Yongzhi took some documents in his hand and asked, "Can you give me my name?" I have already summarized the situation of some overseas Chinese here, and I may be able to get specific information. ”
"My grandfather's name is Ban Ki W, and he now works for the United Nations." Cui Zhengyuan's voice trembled uncontrollably, for fear of hearing some bad news.
Park Yongzhi was taken aback, he had already thought that the relatives of the Cui family were not ordinary, but he didn't expect it to be such a great power.
Although Ban Ki W was not well-known among the South Korean people at this time, he was prominent in political circles, slightly better than Lee M Bo and Park Geun H, who have been calling for wind and rain recently.
At this time, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi. Annan is still re-elected, but the next secretary-general has become a target of contention.
Since this position is held in accordance with the rules of rotation on all continents, all the next positions will definitely come from Asia.
In addition to China, a permanent member of the Security Council, and Japan, a defeated country, there are many countries that are still peeping. Although this position seems to be a chicken rib under the coercion of the United States, in fact, it has many benefits for some small countries.
Therefore, some countries that are interested in making a difference in the international community have put a lot of thought into this.
In addition to South Korea, Indonesia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia have all put forward candidates and are actively working in various parts of Shijie.
Originally, Ban Ki W was still facing a lot of competitive pressure, and it was impossible to predict how many chances he could win.
However, the riots in Indonesia in '98 completely deprived it of opportunities. The international community will not allow a primitive and brutal country to lead international politics, especially if China's veto deprives it of the opportunity.
In recent years, Iran has drifted further and further away from the United States, and is in the midst of a confrontation step by step. Obviously, it is not supported by the first power of shijie, so it is not in the scope of consideration.
To say that South Korea will face the strongest opponent. And Saudi Arabia.
Compared with South Korea, Saudi Arabia is also a die-hard ally of the United States. And compared with South Korea's entanglement with a rising China, Saudi Arabia is more determined to move closer to the United States.
But today's events have completely reversed this contrast. The moment the plane crashed into the World Trade Center, it meant that the war on terror was inevitable.
For a politician like Park Yongji, things suddenly became clear.
The U.S. government's use of troops against the Taliban in Afghanistan has become an inevitable trend and cannot be changed. Under such circumstances, the U.S. government has to guard against other countries that are also Islamic shijie.
Although Saudi Arabia is loyal to the United States, they are also inextricably linked to Afghanistan and Iraq, and even many terrorists have entered the United States through Saudi channels.
This. The Saudi government simply can't stop it. Islam and Islamic shijie share the same beliefs.
In this comparison, South Korea is the only option. And if you choose Korea, there are many benefits, and all parties will be very satisfied.
First of all, the United States, which is the backing of South Korea, is definitely in favor with both hands.
In this way, if the United States wants to take any action, it will be much less obstructed by the United Nations. That is, they will receive moral blessings that will give their hegemonic behavior a veneer of legitimacy.
Second, China, another permanent member of the UN Security Council, is also happy to see this happen.
Don't look at the surface, South Korea is only the United States. But in fact, in fact, China's influence on South Korea is also very strong. Even if the South Korean government makes a lot of efforts to de-sinicize, it will not change the status quo.
For thousands of years, the cultural heritage of the two countries and nations has been inseparable.
If South Korea completes the de-sinicization movement, then the Korean nation will discard its own culture and history. Becomes a rootless wanderer.
With the support of these two powers, the election of Ban Ki W can be said to be a certainty.
How can Park Yongji, who has smoothed out the relationship, have no ideas?
He is a non-partisan person, and being a consul is already the limit of his ability. If you want to climb up, you must have strong support. If you can get in touch with Ban Ki W. Undoubtedly a big help.
Now that he has learned about the relationship between Ban Ki W and the Cui family, his mind is even more active.
South Korea's ambassador to the United States, Kim Si-sang, is already very old and is expected to step down soon. He was very eager for that seat. I've been trying to figure out how to move.
As long as he becomes an ambassador, then he will have a pivotal position in South Korea's diplomatic circles.
Although South Korea has ambassadors in many countries, the ambassadors to the United States and China are the most important.
The status of the two is also much higher than the rest, and many of the successive foreign ministers of South Korea have come out of these two positions.
The ambassador to China didn't dare to think that it had always been the territory of the Zheng family, and outsiders were not allowed to get involved. And he has no experience working in China, so Congress will not consider him.
But it was different on the American side, he was a consul for five years, and he was the second person besides the ambassador. And he was only thirty-seven years old, which can be regarded as the prime of life. It's a good time to be aggressive and motivated.
The only thing that is lacking is that there is no one to promote.
Cui Zhengyuan in front of him has become the most haode ladder in his eyes at this moment. He must do his best to make friends with this person for the future.
Hearing that Choi Jung-won was inquiring about Ban Ki W, Park Yongzhi didn't even have to rummage through the information. "Unexpectedly, Executive Cui is actually the grandson of Representative Ban Ji W, and he is really a famous family with a family history. Don't worry, Pan represents nothing, even his family is fine. Representative Pan's family is our focus and there can be no surprises in any way. ”
Whew, hearing that his grandfather's family was safe and sound, Cui Zhengyuan let out a long breath. The stuffiness that had been pressing on his chest for several hours was finally relieved.
He couldn't feel it himself, but Zheng Xinghuai, who was sitting next to him, could clearly see that his cheeks were full of cold sweat.
This is a normal reaction after being afraid, and Rao is Cui Zhengyuan's big heart can't stand it.
"Consul Xiexie, you're bothered." Forcing himself to calm down, Choi Jung-won thanked Park Yong-ji for the news.
"Can I borrow the consulate line to contact my grandfather?" You know, the family is waiting for news, and I need to make sure. "He knows. Consulates abroad have independent encrypted communication lines to communicate with the country and the outside world.
This line is not controlled by the country where the embassy or consulate is located, but is transmitted directly via satellite. Now if you want to contact Ban Ki W, you can only borrow the help of the embassy or consulate.
Since Park Yongzhi has made up his mind to seek the help of the Choi family and Ban Ki W, he naturally has to do his best. "Yes, Executive Cui waits."
With that, he walked back behind his desk, picked up the phone and entered a long list of passwords.
Cui Zhengyuan has been staring at his movements intently, for fear that he will not be able to connect. When Park Yongzhi motioned for him to answer the phone, he rushed over with one arrow step.
After three busy tones. An elegant voice came from the microphone. "This is Ban Ki W, who is it?"
Through the microphone, Cui Zhengyuan could clearly hear that it was so noisy that he couldn't hear Ban Jiw's voice clearly.
In order to ensure the sound quality, Cui Zhengyuan shouted loudly: "Grandpa, I am Zhengyuan." You okay? Are there any injuries? ”
"Zhengyuan? You're in the Los Angeles consulate, right? I'm fine, nothing at all. Don't worry, just do your job with peace of mind. These are extraordinary times, so take care of your own safety. Ban Ki W thought for a moment. knew that Cui Zhengyuan called him at the consulate in Los Angeles, otherwise ordinary places would not be able to contact him at all.
"Grandpa, everyone in the family is worried about you. Auntie, are they okay too? My cousin already knew the news, and she was so sad that she was about to faint. "I heard my grandfather's instructions. Choi Jung-won couldn't help but shed tears, causing his eyes to blur.
Although I have only seen my grandfather since I was a child. But the image of the old man's elegance and wisdom made him deeply engraved in his mind.
Just look at the appearance. Cui Zhengyuan's temperament is actually the most similar to his grandfather.
Unlike Choi Wu-ryong's atmospheric and majestic appearance, Choi Jung-won and Ban Ji-W are both types that look handsome and have the scent of books. So he naturally has a deep affinity for Ban Ji W.
Even the people of the Cui family often say that he was carved out of the same mold as his grandfather.
Such a big thing happened. Ban Ki W was very busy, and his voice could be heard to be very urgent. "Good boy, don't worry, the family is fine. I'm busy with the evacuation of UN headquarters right now, so leave it at that. Tell the family that they don't have to worry. When things settle down, I'll talk to your grandfather personally. ”
Cui Zhengyuan also knew that his grandfather would definitely be very busy, so he hung up the phone reluctantly. It's just that the tears can't stop falling, and Park Jung-jae came over and persuaded: "Okay, Jeongwon, don't be sad." Isn't it good that Representative Pan is fine, you better hurry up and report to your family about safety. Madame and Miss Biao estimated that they were in a hurry. ”
Oh yes, I was patronizing and sorting out my emotions, but I forgot that there are still many people waiting for news on the other side of the ocean. Cui Zhengyuan hurriedly wiped away his tears, "Xiexie, Brother Jungjae, if it weren't for you, I would have forgotten." ”
The relationship between the two is too close, and there is no need to dwell on the details. Park Jung-jae patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, let's go call." Brother Xinghuai and I are here to accompany Consul Park, you go and come back quickly. ”
Choi Jung-won said hello to Park Yong-ji and walked to the top floor of the consulate.
It was empty and very quiet. Under the blue sky, the depression in Cui Zhengyuan's chest was swept away.
With a sigh of relief, Choi Jung-won dialed the number. After the great panic, even if he had calmed down a little now, the arm holding the phone still trembled slightly. One can imagine how much of an impact this incident had on him.
That kind of unpredictable feeling makes people's hearts go down.
As soon as the bell rang, it was picked up by Chen Shengmei. Before Cui Zhengyuan could say anything, she asked a series of questions. "How? Zhengyuan, is there any news from my grandfather and my parents? ”
Unlike Choi Jung-won, she has always lived with Ban Ki W. Especially her parents, so the concern is stronger than that of her cousin.
With the breeze on the roof, Cui Zhengyuan breathed in a breath of fresh air. "Cousin, don't worry, your grandfather, aunt, and uncle are all safe. I just used the phone number of the consulate to contact my grandfather in person, and it was he who reported my safety to me. ”
Grunt, Cui Zhengyuan heard a loud noise in the earpiece, and then there was a boiling voice from the opposite side.
"Cousin, cousin?" Afraid that his cousin would have an accident, Cui Zhengyuan called vigorously.
After a while, Pan Jingzhen's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Zhengyuan, it's okay, your cousin's mood fluctuated too much, so he fainted all of a sudden, and now there is no big problem. Is your grandfather really okay? ”
She first explained Chen Shengmei's situation, but then she couldn't help but ask about her father's situation. Even from Chen Shengmei's performance, I know that everyone is safe. But flesh and blood are heart-to-heart, and no matter what, they can't let go of their inner concerns.
After taking care of his cousin, Cui Zhengyuan still has to comfort his mother. "Mom, everything is fine here. My grandfather was busy organizing the evacuation of the people, so he only spoke a few words to me. He explained, and when he was busy with this time, he would talk to his grandfather in person. So, with everyone, don't worry. ”
chattered with Pan Jingzhen for a long time, and the phone was handed over to Cui Wulong again.
The old man did not care about family trivialities, but learned about the situation on the American side in detail. South Korea and the United States are so close that anything that happens here could have a big impact on the country.
As a politician, the Cui family must have a detailed understanding of the situation to cope with the changes in the current situation.
The old man Zuihou also told him to pay attention to precautions, and now the environment in the United States is very chaotic, and Cui Wulong is worried that Sony will take risks.
Cui Zhengyuan stood against the railing, looking at the scenery of the distant mountains. The gentle breeze gently stirred the few strands of broken hair on his forehead, and also stirred his mind.
You have to master more energy as soon as possible, and this feeling of being powerless when you encounter something big is really bad.
Since he was born again, God didn't let himself waste his time. On this shijie, you must be strong to control your destiny.
After experiencing a spiritual catastrophe, Cui Zhengyuan understood more truths. (To be continued.) )
