Chapter 356: The U.S.-China Agreement on the Seas

Li Dawei put down the teacup in his hand and stared at the National Security Assistant to the President of the United States. Kennedy and U.S. Secretary of State Lasker said, "When it comes to American history, you certainly know better than I do." The United States itself is a country with a short history, and the United States was a subject under the British crown before the War. If history is concerned, you so-called Americans are still British subjects. The United States started by rebellion and built its country by force. If history is based, Americans should be a mob of anti-British political axes. If history is really respected, as you say, you should bring back the British, you should bring back the Spaniards, you Europeans should go back to Europe and return the Americas to the Indians. Can you do it? I'm sure you won't be able to do that. ”

Nation. Kennedy looked at this clever tongue. The Chinese vice foreign minister, who talked about a set of sets of words, thought to himself, this kid is really good at talking, and I mean history

Li Dawei seems to have seen through the state. Kennedy was thinking about something, and he went on to say, "Mr. Kennedy, what you are talking about is that the American presence in Asia is a historical formation. I think that the history you are referring to is the history written by the Western colonizers when the people of Asia do not have the right to speak. You Americans, know better than anyone that history must respect reality, and you Americas have always done that. I have made no secret of my point that the days when Westerners, including Americans, pointed fingers and set the tone in Asia have passed. ”

Li Dawei picked up the teacup, took a sip of the cold residual tea, looked at the two silent Americans and thought to himself, "Small, just because you Americans, nouveau riche with no history, are also worthy of using history as a weapon to talk to me." He couldn't help but smile at Bang. Kennedy said, "Friend, if you want to play tricks, you have to find a reason to stand." However, as an old friend of the American people, I sincerely advise you not to bother with this matter, but to concentrate on thinking about how to resolve the current crisis between China and the United States in a pragmatic manner. Avoid the catastrophe I said. I can honestly tell you that when the Chinese government made the decision that all US troops must be withdrawn from Asia, they had already estimated every possibility. Therefore, I hope that through this secret visit by the two of them, China and the United States can have a good consultation and discuss how to avoid the occurrence of this kind of disaster, which may lead to the greatest disaster since the founding of the United States. ”

Lasker didn't want to listen to Li Dawei's persuasion anymore, so he diverted the topic of Li Dawei and asked with some concern: "David, what are you going to do with the supply ship 'Claris' and the sunken George Washington in the East China Sea?" ”

"If the big problem is solved, these big problems will be big, and the small problems will be easy to solve." Li Dawei didn't want to talk about these specific issues now, and he only talked about principles on such occasions, so he continued to follow his train of thought and said appropriately with a smile: "Bad things can become good things under certain conditions." We fought a war with the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union went to war and used tactical nuclear missiles, but they were defeated. The contradictions between the two countries have been resolved, and the relations between the two parties, the political axes of the two countries, and the two peoples have never been as good as they are now. ”

Of course, Lasker could hear the off-string sound of Li Dawei's words, and this Leedavid's words were very clever and very level. It not only explains the current state of Sino-Soviet relations, which the United States has to consider, but also exemplifies to the United States the fate of the failure of the armed confrontation between the Soviet Union, a superpower, and China.

Then Li Dawei hinted at something in the United States with a sincere face: "The Chinese are very face-conscious, and they also pay attention to giving others enough face. This time, we have done more and said less in dealing with the Sino-US issue, that is, in consideration of the general election to be held in the United States next year, which has saved a lot of face for your Mingzhuo Party and left a lot of room for maneuver in the peaceful settlement of the Sino-US issue. ”。

Li Dawei felt that he had said everything he needed to say, and the next step would depend on how the United States would go. He drank it dry, and the remnants of tea in his cup still felt empty in his stomach, but he didn't want to eat anything. This kind of seemingly relaxed cold dinner, with a wordless "small talk", completely ruined his appetite for all the food, making him feel really tired from eating this meal.

Through this cold dinner meeting, the United States has basically figured out China's thinking, and China has been determined to realize the Chinese version of the "Monroe Doctrine" that Asia is Chinese, and at the same time, it has also learned that China will save some face for the United States and the Kennedy political axe in dealing with these problems, and of course these "faces" are without affecting the actual interests that China wants.

The United States has exhausted all its tactics, and the threat of force has been dealt a heavy blow by the Chinese Navy, and the head has been beaten to the bone. A political solution can only be sought at the negotiating table. In the next few days, China and the United States went through another fierce war of words, wits and courage, and fierce bargaining. Both sides have made some compromises and concessions, thus brightening the prospects for a negotiated settlement of the crisis between China and the United States.

On the issue of the deployment of nuclear missiles by the United States in south Korea, which triggered the current nuclear crisis between China and the United States, US Secretary of State Lasker finally said: We in the United States can understand the uneasy feelings of the Chinese political axe about the deployment of missiles by the US military in south Korea. The United States, in consideration of China's anxiety about its own security, will withdraw these missiles and related facilities from south Korea as soon as possible. and pledged to withdraw all US troops and their facilities in South Korea by the end of this year; At the same time, China will be required to declare within the UN Security Council that China's strategic missile nuclear submarines must not approach the sea area 5,000 kilometers from the US mainland; Respect for the inviolability of the territory and sovereignty of South Korea.

The Chinese side said that if the United States can withdraw its nuclear installations and nuclear weapons systems in south Korea within 72 hours, it will guarantee that all US troops and all facilities in south Korea will be withdrawn by the end of this year. China will agree to simultaneously lift the blockade and inspection of U.S. ships in the Tsushima Strait. By the end of this year, China will release the USS Clariss, a supply ship seized in the Tsushima Strait, as well as the officers and men on board, after the United States has withdrawn all its US troops and facilities in south Korea.

China will state at the UN Security Council that China will never interfere in the affairs of the Korean Peninsula and that the Korean issue will be resolved by the people of both the North and the South of the Korean Peninsula themselves.

Although the United States knows that as long as the US military withdraws from the south Korean regime, it will definitely be doomed, but it is better than taking more than 30,000 US officers and soldiers, and it will be enough to get China's statement at the UN Security Council that "China will never interfere in the affairs of the Korean Peninsula." Anyway, this is also a face-saving project, and as for what will happen to South Korea in the future, as long as China, the God of Asia, knows.

On the issue that China's nuclear submarines are not allowed to approach the 5,000-kilometer sea area of the US mainland, the Chinese side believes that in order to ensure that similar incidents like this one do not occur again between the two sides and to prevent China and the United States from "misfiring," the United States must withdraw all its armed forces in Asia. China and the United States jointly formulated a "Sino-US Convention on the Sea" that clearly delineates the scope of activities of their respective armed forces.

In response to the Chinese side's question that China and the United States jointly formulated the "Sino-US Convention on the Sea," which clearly delineates the scope of activities of the respective armed forces of China and the United States. The United States understands that this is the core issue of China's entire operation, and accepting this issue of China means accepting China's version of the "Monroe Doctrine." It is necessary to redraw the sphere of influence between China and the United States through legal documents and China, and if China is not accepted, this issue means that the conflict between China and the United States will not end with the withdrawal of American troops in North Korea. Chinese nuclear submarines can still appear at any time on the edge of the east and west coasts of the United States.

Who wants to watch a sharp knife whirring in their ears all the time with fear all day long? If you don't fix that "miss", it's a fatal thing. It is impossible to prevent China from "playing big games", and the best way now is to make China stay away from itself. But how far is this "far point"? Then it's up to both sides to negotiate.

Let's talk! The whole world is going to be reshuffled. The spheres of influence of China and the United States need to be redivided according to their respective strengths. Then the negotiators of China and the United States were again engaged in a round and back, arguing, quibbling, threatening, inducing, making promises, making wishes, betraying, and exchanging

Finally, the Sino-US Convention on the Ocean, which redivides the spheres of influence between China and the United States, and the cooperation framework between China and the United States on the next step of nuclear monopoly between China and the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France, on the nuclear monopoly of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, China, the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France, were finally reached.

The U.S.-China Ocean Agreement states that security relations are an important part of the U.S.-China strategic cooperative partnership. In the face of profound and complex changes in the international situation and emerging security challenges, China and the United States have increasing common security interests and deepening interdependence, so we should and must deepen communication and strengthen cooperation at the bilateral, regional and global levels to jointly meet the challenges.

In this spirit, the leaders of China and the United States held in-depth discussions on the issue of strengthening cooperation between China and the United States and jointly promoting the progress, prosperity, and stability of the entire human society at the meeting between the high-level leaders of China and the United States. The leaders of the two countries agreed to deepen practical cooperation, cultivate mutual trust in the process of cooperation, and dispel doubts on both sides with the results of cooperation. We must earnestly respect the core interests of the other side. It is necessary to manage differences and frictions well and prevent misinterpretation and misjudgment.

With the common purpose of maintaining world peace, prosperity and stability, the two sides agree to reach the following agreements in the Pacific and Atlantic waters in accordance with the division of labor and cooperation agreed between China and the United States:

East of the International Line of Change, north of the equator, and in the North Atlantic, the U.S. Navy and the navies of the countries where the waters are located are responsible for maintaining maritime security and maintaining unimpeded sea routes, and the Chinese armed forces are not allowed to enter these waters without prior notice and with the permission of the U.S. government.

The Chinese Navy and the navies of the countries in this area are responsible for maintaining maritime security and maintaining the smooth flow of sea routes west of the International Date Line, north of the equator, south of 60 degrees north latitude, and east of 60 degrees east longitude.

China noted that the waters under the jurisdiction of the Chinese division of labor are located at 13 degrees 26 minutes north latitude and 144 degrees 43 minutes east longitude. With an area of 549 square kilometers, Guam is an unconstitutional territory of the United States. China has no objection to the fact that the United States actually occupies the island, and China respects the right of the United States to administer the island. China hopes that the United States will withdraw all naval and air bases and various military installations on the island, and withdraw its troops stationed on the island. By building the island into an international coastal tourist area and a Sino-US economic cooperation zone, China will ensure that no less than 20,000 tourists will visit Guam every year for sightseeing, so as to promote the development of the island's tourism industry and economic prosperity.

The United States expressed its full understanding of China's special concern for Guam and agreed to gradually dismantle its military installations on the island over the next five years and to withdraw its troops stationed on the island year by year. The United States has expressed great interest in China's proposal to build Guam into a Sino-US economic cooperation zone.

In order to ensure the effective implementation of the "Sino-US Maritime Agreement," the Chinese and US militaries and the Chinese and US militaries will establish a joint coordination body in Guam in order to strengthen mutual understanding between the Chinese and US militaries and coordinate relations between the Chinese and US militaries.

The U.S.-China Agreement concludes by stating that China and the United States are committed to maintaining freedom and security of navigation in the Pacific Ocean. The two sides have always maintained that China and the United States belong to the Pacific region. The two sides particularly emphasized the importance of freedom of navigation in the Pacific waters, and neither China nor the United States should obstruct the passage of maritime trade and trade in the waters under their respective jurisdictions, so as to maintain peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.

China has demanded that the United States withdraw from the Asian region, and this major contradiction has been resolved, and the remaining problems, as Li Dawei said, are easy to deal with.

With regard to the handling of the USS George Washington strategic missile submarine, which "sank itself" in the East China Sea, the United States agreed that with the participation of US technicians, the China East China Sea Ship Salvage Company would salvage the USS George Washington, which unfortunately encountered a "shipwreck" in the East China Sea, and that all expenses incurred would be borne by the United States. In order to show that the Chinese Navy has made all-out efforts to rescue the USS George Washington when it was in a "shipwreck," the United States will provide a certain amount of compensation in an appropriate manner.
