602 Upper Peru Belonging
Duan Jiu sat in the swivel chair in Niu Bin's office, the teddy at his feet jumped from the ground to Duan Jiu's arms with a thud, Duan Jiu petted the puppy in his arms, looking full of love, not at all like a ruthless intelligence agent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Niu Bin stretched his neck and said: "I said that you are a big man, more than thirty people, you can raise a dog and make something powerful, I heard that the army breeds military dogs are very powerful, those black-backed, Tibetan mastiffs or something are not impossible, you just get a teddy, isn't it funny?" ”
Duan Jiu grabbed the fur under the puppy's neck and said, "Dogs have their own strengths, just like people, there are no useless people, but they are not put in the right place. ”
Duan Jiu continued very casually: "Teddy is actually a poodle, with a very lively personality, a good memory, a high IQ, and obedience. At the present moment in the eighteenth century, the breed of Poodle was just being determined, and Teddy was actually a subspecies that diverged from the Poodle more than a hundred years later. They may not be fierce, but they are very intelligent dogs, easier to train than many large dogs, and can do a lot of work. ”
Duan Jiu shouted, and suddenly the puppy that was originally cute in his arms jumped onto Niu Bin's desk, grinning at Niu Bin twice.
"Fuck off, get down." Niu Bin was taken aback.
Duan Jiu laughed, let the puppy return to his arms, and then said, "Comrade Minister, do you know that there are some bacteria that are carried by dogs and will not harm them, but if they are passed on to humans, it is very dangerous?" ”
Niu Bin's face changed, and he said: "You pervert, aren't you known as the most animal-friendly." Are you still letting your dog carry some deadly germs? ”
"Of course not. I'm just telling you about one possibility. My dogs are regularly checked. Alas, animals are far simpler and more loyal than humans, too cunning and too good at betrayal. ”
Niu Bin said: "At least those who have faith and perseverance will not be so easily betrayed, although there are not no corrupt people in our department, but there are almost no traitors." ”
Duan Jiu said: "There are no traitors in the Ministry of State Security, because the enemy is too stupid. Or the temptation to give is too little, and with the outrageous level of organization we have, the cost of betrayal is too high. For people, betrayal is only the price to pay, and the agents and employees of the Ministry of National Security cannot afford the price of betrayal. ”
"No matter what," Niu Bin spread his hands, "I only pay attention to the result, I have not betrayed the ministry, and no one has betrayed the Tang Revolution." Betrayal of our country and people, that is enough. ”
Duan Jiu continued to pet his dog. "Speaking of betrayal, our two allies are going through a big storm. Peru and La Plata have been approached to seek a solution regarding the ownership of Upper Peru. Both countries are seeking our Datang arbitration, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reacted relatively coldly, saying that the issue of the ownership of Upper Peru should be resolved through separate consultations between the two countries, and should not be expanded, let alone a conflict that will undermine the friendly relations of our internationalist camp. ”
Alta Peru is actually Bolivia in another place, and the name of this country is naturally derived from Bolivar, the hero of the liberation of South America, and the previous name was Alta Peru. The first Spanish colony of the Viceroyalty of Peru covered a series of regions such as Peru, Chile, Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay, and later divided the Viceroyalty of La Plata, and also divided Upper Peru into the Republic of La Plata.
However, Upper Peru was once part of the Inca Kingdom in history, and the current Peruvian president, Amaru II, is also a royal descendant of the original Inca dynasty, and Upper Peru and Peru also have more connections. At the beginning of the revolution, the Peruvian Revolution and the National Revolution of La Plata were actually one family, and half of the top leaders of the National Revolution in La Plata had fought in Peru. After the establishment of the two countries, there was no substantive demarcation of the border, and the question of the ownership of Upper Peru then erupted.
At the beginning, Peru transferred Chile to the Republic of La Plata for reasons such as ease of governance, and the Peruvians believed that from the historical origin and indigenous culture, plus the Chilean exchange, La Plata should return Upper Peru to Peru. But Upper Peru is much larger than Chile, and there are plenty of economic benefits in the coastal mining areas that are rich in saltpeter. Even if there is no nationalist complex in La Plata, there is still considerable resistance to the return of Upper Peru to Peru.
The two countries are still negotiating, and each has its own reasoning, and they can't convince each other, so they naturally think of finding someone to arbitrate. As the younger brother in the internationalist camp, the two countries have the eldest brother and only one of them, and Colombia, a brother country in South America, can be a witness, so the ambassadors of the two countries to Tang proposed that the Tang Dynasty and the First International should arbitrate the ownership of Peru.
But although this incident reflects the status of Datang, there is a risk, no matter who Datang divides Upper Peru to, the other side will be dissatisfied, although this dissatisfaction may not cause any direct substantive consequences, but it may also brew something undesirable.
However, Datang is not evasive about incidents, as a big brother, he still has to make a little effort. Therefore, Bai Nan specially sent a deputy foreign minister to South America to assist the two countries in negotiations. The meaning is that I don't meddle in your specific affairs, and it's up to you how to solve the problem. I'm here to watch you talk, lest you talk nonsense or if the talks fall apart and go to war.
Peruvians feel that if La Plata takes Chile for nothing and gives nothing to Peru, it is deception and betrayal, and La Plata does not want to suffer too much. The two sides have come up with many solutions, such as referendums or co-governance. Obviously, however, both methods are difficult to operate, and there may be all sorts of troubles later.
After negotiations between the two sides and the mediation of Datang, the two sides restarted the border survey agreement, and determined that Chile would be owned by La Plata, while Upper Peru would be owned by Peru, and Peru would purchase land from the Republic of La Plata with a one-time compensation of 10 million Tang Yuan. In this way, Peru got back Upper Peru, doubled its territory, and La Plata's face was restored, and the border between the two sides was basically demarcated.
For Peru, the return to Upper Peru gives Peru the opportunity to compete with La Plata and Colombia in South America, since it was previously inferior to both countries in terms of territory and population. And this is actually what Datang wants to see, the three South American countries maintain a balance of strength, which is conducive to Datang stabilizing the situation in South America.
