Qi Yiming entered Zhongnanhai again with the information that was ready, he looked at the scenery that was already full of autumn when he was at the door, and he felt a little melancholy in his heart, this time it is estimated that he will come to the power center of the Celestial Empire in the last time in a short period of time, and after reporting work, he will pack up and embark on a journey to Southeast Asia.

The mood at the moment is very complicated, some lost, some excited, intertwined, Qi Yiming seems extremely silent.

Entering a reception room, there was no one else here, only Ping Taizong himself, who seemed to be reading some documents, and none of the other bigwigs were gone. When Ping Taizong saw Qi Yiming coming, he showed a smile, pointed to the mahogany chair beside him, and said, "Sit." ”

Qi Yi thanked him and sat on it steadily, he used to be more casual, related to the era he was born in and the influence he received abroad, but he has only been in the eighties for more than a year, but he seems to be more like a person of this era, and his behavior is quite deliberately rigid.

"Ping Lao, this is my plan." Qi Yiming handed over the folder in his hand with both hands.

Ping Taizong took the stack of documents, but took off the reading glasses, put the documents aside, did not look at them, he said: "The things inside, you have generally said before, I know in my heart, although the matter is very big, but your ability to do things is very reassuring, and indeed as you said, we are in a relatively good international environment, the Western forces in order to win us over basically turn a blind eye, and the Soviet camp wants to manage but can't intervene, as long as you step by step, there will be no big mistakes." ”

He softened his tone, stared at Qi Yiming's humble-looking face with burning eyes, and said, "You are about to go abroad to preside over this matter, many words have been hidden by everyone before, and it is inconvenient to say them, but if you don't say it at this moment, it will be more likely to cause trouble." I know that you have some opinions about this incident, and I think that some comrades have excluded you. ”

Qi Yiming shook his head and said calmly: "I don't think so, being able to preside over the work of Nanyang is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me." ”

Ping Taizong smiled and said, "Do you really think so?" ”

Qi Yiming was silent and didn't say anything, but he acquiesced that he did have some negative emotions.

"Alas, Xiao Qi, you have served the country for more than a year and made a lot of contributions, which are more important than the dedication of many comrades for a lifetime, but it is also not surprising that because of many factors, you cannot completely integrate into it, causing some suspicion. First of all, you yourself have mastered such a terrifying energy of the 9527 Project, which is itself much more dangerous than a normal leading cadre. I naturally know what to say about things like "great ability, great responsibility", but in politics, power also leads to dictatorship and corruption, and if you don't do it today, it doesn't mean that others will worry and doubt it. ”

Qi Yiming still couldn't help but refute: "Even if there is no leading cadre of the 9527 Project, when they are eroded by sugar-coated shells, they will still do things that anger and resentment, and this has nothing to do with individuals." ”

Ping Taizong shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It is true that a leading cadre becomes a corrupt official and a faint official has nothing to do with how much power he has, but the amount of power is easy to make people choose a bad direction, and the disaster may be even greater." ”

"I can't accept this logic, because a person may commit a crime and convict him in advance, is ...... It's ridiculous. Qi Yiming was helpless.

Ping Taizong was not angry, Qi Yiming bluntly contradicted, he said: "It is true, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can stop other people's worries. Maybe Xiao Qi, your step-by-step work may not cause any waves, but your work style is a little arbitrary and independent, and even more detached from the command of the Party Central Committee, which makes people more vigilant. ”

This Qi Yiming can't defend himself, he does have some such problems, but he doesn't have the heart to change them.

Ping Taizong shook his head and said: "Xiao Qi, you must know that the comrades of Lu Dao have no subjective malice towards you, everyone's starting point is for the country, for our party, you have to understand." Don't treat this appointment as exile or anything, as a good experience, and when you learn more about how to behave in the world, polish off your edges and corners, the door here is still open to you. ”

Seeing that Qi Yiming seemed to be a little unmoved, still like an elm pimple, Ping Taizong suddenly said: "Among the comrades of the younger generation, I am the most optimistic about you, and your youth is the biggest advantage. Sooner or later, we old fellows will have to go into the ground, and it is estimated that it will not be too long, just like the chairman said, this world is yours after all. You must temper yourself well and cultivate yourself, because the country and our party will need you in the future. The sea sails by the helmsman, Xiao Qi, you have to make yourself a helmsman who can be relied on by the whole party and the whole country! ”

Although the words were not explicitly stated, the meaning of them surprised Qi Yiming. The phrase "the sea sails by the helmsman" directly refers to the position of the leader of the Celestial Empire, twenty years ago, this refers to Taizu and his old man, and Ping Taizong's meaning is nothing more than twenty years later, as long as Qi Yiming is recognized, it is not impossible to be a new helmsman.

Normal people are probably moved to tears when they hear such a promise, but Qi Yiming's heart is very complicated. First of all, he didn't know how true or false this was, and he couldn't set up a word to prove it, not to mention that the big position of the country was not something that could be decided by talking, Qi Yiming really suspected that Ping Taizong was coaxing himself. Secondly, Qi Yiming already has the urge to "seek the country" in his heart, even if it is not his turn in the future, he will build a chair for himself with his own hands.

Of course, Qi Yiming still had to show gratitude, he showed a surprised expression on his face, and said continuously: "Ping Lao, I don't have anything to think about, I am very satisfied to be able to help build the country and contribute to the country." ”

Ping Taizong couldn't see that Qi Yiming's expression was false, and thought that Qi Yiming was really shocked, so he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "What should be yours is yours, and you can't run away." ”

When Qi Yiming was about to leave the country with an MCV, the eyes of the world were also closely concerned about the situation in Malaysia. Although less than a week has passed, China has sent more than 20,000 soldiers to Malaya, and has repeatedly defeated the Malaysian army that "defends the country".

In Singapore, Mahathir Mohamad finally issued an official statement, strongly condemning China's forcible aggression against Malaysia in the name of protecting overseas Chinese, and calling on all countries in the world to uphold justice, help Malaysia drive out the Chinese invaders, and call on the Malaysian people to rise up against the invaders.

The premier also incidentally exaggerated that China is a communist country with all evils, and that peaceful people in the world who love democracy, freedom, and human rights should be vigilant against China's invasion, which is a provocation to the democratic countries of the whole world.

However, the volume of Mahathir's statement was somewhat insufficient, and the voice was too late, it simply could not suppress the public opinion in favor of China that is now widely disseminated throughout the world.

A commentator article in the New York Times pointed out: "This Mr. Prime Minister, who does not even have the courage to stay at home and really resist 'aggression,' actually has the face to say that China has trampled on democracy and freedom, but he does not know why China will choose to send troops for Lu Dao." In a country that claims to be democratic and free, the majority group severely oppresses the minority group, and it is difficult for the minority group to enter the government and the army, and it is even more difficult for the minority group to protect their legitimate economic interests. They are congenitally discriminated against by State policies in education, housing and social welfare, not to mention the fact that regular racist riots seriously affect their right to live freely and safely in the land. Whoever dares to openly support the Malaysian government at this time is contrary to all the principles that a democratic society upholds and upholds. ”

And the local media in Singapore, Lianhe Zaobao, where Mahathir has taken refuge, was even more blunt: "Although China is a red country with its natural original sin, at least their courage to help their own compatriots who have been oppressed and discriminated against is worthy of recognition." In Malaysia, no one can advocate for the interests and well-being of the Nanyang Chinese, so it is probably an inevitable choice to rely on external forces to reform this injustice. Although China's dispatch of troops seems reckless and hasty, and even lacks civilization and barbarism, it is probably the most deterrent way to deal with the barbaric and backward Malaysian government. As a classic model, Malaysia can send a voice to the whole world, that is, the Chinese people all over the world are no longer pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, which has a beneficial impact on the improvement of the status of the Chinese in the world. ”

In fact, the Malaysian Chinese and the Singaporean Chinese are Nanyang Chinese and Straits Chinese respectively, and in the past, both sides looked down on each other, and the Nanyang Chinese thought that the Straits Chinese had forgotten their ancestors, and the Straits Chinese thought that the Nanyang Chinese did not know progress. But when it comes to the core interests of the Chinese ethnic group, they are still on the same side.

Some Singaporeans even took to the streets after Mahathir's statement, holding spontaneous demonstrations to demand that the Lee Ka Po government arrest Mahathir for crimes against humanity, and some radical nationalists even scolded the Lee Ka Po government for allowing Mahathir and his cabinet to enter the country. Of course, there are also some Singaporeans who take it for granted that Li Jiapo send troops to Malaysia and carve up the Malay Peninsula with China.

Singapore almost joined the Federation of Malaysia that year, and was eventually expelled from the Federation of Malaysia for complicated reasons, but Singaporeans know that it is difficult for the small Singapore to develop into a strong enough country, but if it can expand its territory tenfold, it can at least be comparable to ordinary small European countries. Well, this is, of course, the embodiment of "YY power".

Although a lot of public opinion is inclined to the Chinese side, it is impossible for the countries of the world to really sit idly by and watch China occupy the Malay Peninsula in this way, and after many days of China's military deployment, the Americans finally can't sit still, and there must be a limit to waiting and seeing, and now is almost the time for them to reap the fruits of diplomacy and international prestige.
