Lai Zhenping is a Red Police base spy, he has only been in this world for seven or eight weeks, but this wise guy is always able to do some amazing things. The spies produced by the base are all directed, commercial spies cannot do military-related tasks, and cyber agents cannot understand the political process, but this also makes each spy have amazing talent and ability in their respective fields.

The talents of these spies in their respective fields are so dazzling that Qi Yiming was reluctant to let these spies do intelligence work at all, but arranged for them to enter positions that could give full play to their talents.

Lai Zhenping has not done a day of real intelligence work since he was produced, he is a relatively rare high-level comprehensive spy, and he is also a "lucky one" who has a small chance of being born in the mass production process, such a spy has a compound of several different fields of talent, such as Lai Zhenping's all-night economic and commercial, political operation and a small number of political extension of military operations, but unfortunately this spy is very poor, and even has congenital asthma, Qi Yiming doesn't understand what the base thinks at all.

Qi Yiming also thinks that he can't use a spy like 007, he has 10,000 ways to avoid going to that kind of thrilling, hot and obstructive scene, and the most suitable place for an existence like Bond is only in the movie.

Relying on Lai Zhenping, who has outstanding talents, Qi Yiming appointed him as a senior cadre of the Strategic Security Bureau, and even has the treatment of a director-general. Although the name of the Strategy Bureau is a bureau, it is actually beyond the normal departmental level, because the funds do not need to be approved by the state, and the treatment of personnel does not need to be the national pavilion, so the status is big or small. Naturally, Qi Yiming didn't dare to casually make an official at the provincial and ministerial level, he positioned himself as a provincial and ministerial unit, that is to say, he himself was a minister, and it was impossible to appoint someone the same size as himself.

In other words, there are not many cadres at the department level in the entire Strategy Bureau, senior staff member Mo Xiantong, director of the Information and Investigation Department Ye Yaozi (blackmailed by himself), and then this Lai Zhenping. As for a character like Yuri, naturally it won't appear on the roster.

Lai Zhenping arrived in Islamabad by plane with colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Commerce, and other ministries and commissions to pay a visit to friendly Pakistan, and he also carried with him an important task assigned to him by Qi Yiming. One of the managers of Shenghua Company, Zhao Jinsong, who has been running abroad all the year round, also specially accompanied the group to assist Lai Zhenping's work.

During the Malayan War to Protect Overseas Chinese, because of religious relations, Pakistan was somewhat dissatisfied with China, but it was not too obvious, and after Southeast Asia was in chaos, Pakistan and other countries also understood that it was not their interference at all, but the Islamic countries still felt a little pimple that China had harmed two Islamic countries one after another.

China is well aware of how difficult it is to cultivate a trustworthy friend, and Pakistan's strategic value to China cannot be underestimated.

Pakistan has begun to look down on India in recent years because of China, a powerful neighbor that has helped it resist India, and has also made a lot of efforts in economic construction, especially in terms of military aid. But on the other hand, China has become more and more domineering as it has become stronger, repeatedly sending troops to war with its neighbors, and Pakistan fears that China will one day become a disobedient person.

Despite this, the large-scale Chinese delegation came to Islamabad and received a grand welcome. Lai Zhenping did not make an official appearance, but took Zhao Jinsong and held a secret closed-door meeting with officials in Islamabad.

"What, you want the port of Gwadar? This can't be, we just bought it back from Oman in 1958! Pakistani official Farouk exclaimed that if it weren't for the traditional friendship between China and Pakistan, he would definitely be scolding.

Lai Zhenping smiled slightly and explained: "There is a deviation in your understanding, Gwadar Port is the sovereign territory of Pakistan and an inalienable part, and our country does not have any attempt to covet the territory of all-weather strategic partners. Well, let me tell you again, we hope that Pakistan will open up our country to help you develop Balochistan, an important port, and that the relevant funds, technology and technology will be provided by us, and Pakistan will contribute manpower and policies. After completion, we want to be granted the right to operate the port for 20 years, and at the same time we want to get the right to use the port area, well, in particular, to provide the ability to supply and maintain the activities of our navy in this area. ”

Farouk and a group of Pakistani officials stared at each other, and the amount of information in just a few words was too large for them to accept. Pakistan is located on the west coast of the Indian subcontinent, with a relatively short coastline and few ports, and the largest port, Karachi, is too close to the India-Pakistan border, so it feels unsafe. Therefore, since Pakistan bought back Gwadar from Oman, it has been hoping to develop this port, on the one hand, to revitalize the separatist western economy, and on the other hand, to provide Pakistan with more strategic access to the sea.

However, as an underdeveloped country, Pakistan lacks sufficient funds and skills to complete this matter, and has always hoped to use the strength of other countries to complete it, but has repeatedly hit a wall. In the 80s, it was the Soviet Union that most hoped for Gwadar, and if this road from Central Asia through Afghanistan and Pakistan and from Gwadar out of the Indian Ocean was opened, it would be equivalent to a major geostrategic revitalization of the Soviet Union. But as a traditional ally of India, the USSR could not have gained anything from Pakistan.

China in the original plane naturally lacks money and ability, so Pakistan cannot turn to China for help, and the price of finding the United States and other Western countries is too high, and if it agrees, it will be almost a betrayal. Another timeline is that it was not until the 21st century that Pakistan built it through China.

Zhao Jinsong also did a lot of homework when he came, and he said eloquently: "Karachi, as the largest port in your country, has caused a lot of inconvenience because of its proximity to India, and the imbalance in your country's regional economic development is also an important factor causing Balochistan to have a tendency to secede. China is willing to train some technical personnel for your country, and at the same time recruit at least 2,000 local workers to assist in our construction, and eventually promote the construction of the largest deep-water port in the western part of your country. I believe that your country has also cooperated more with our country, and understand that cooperation with Chinese is definitely the most profitable option on this planet. We will not be as domineering and greedy as Western companies, we are willing to let friends also gain benefits when we get benefits, and help friends grow stronger, hehe, this is the difference between Eastern and Western philosophy and culture. ”

Some Pakistani officials nodded, it is true that they are more reliable in doing things with the Chinese, and there are few times when they suffer losses, unlike the West such as Britain and the United States, and they themselves are uncomfortable if they don't pit you a few times.

Farouk is a real economic official and very knowledgeable, and he said with some concern: "It is indeed beneficial for our country to build the Gwadar port, but I don't see much help for your country except to provide a berth for your navy, and is your navy really going into the Indian Ocean now?" In addition, even if Gwadar is built, it is estimated that our economy will not take advantage of this advantage, and if hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on the development of this area, it will eventually lose all its money, and then it may have an impact on the relations between the two countries. ”

Lai Zhenping smiled slightly, and was not afraid to tell the Pakistanis, "China's economic development is too rapid, and the total economic output has tripled in just three years, and this speed has not slowed down. This has caused China's dependence on energy imports. In addition to the route through the South China Sea via the Strait of Malacca, we hope that there will also be a pipeline in the west that can supply energy to the interior of our country. Secondly, China also has a plan for the revitalization of the western region, a railway through the mainland, out of Xinjiang to Pakistan, is conducive to driving the economy along the line, developing trade and promoting exchanges, if there is this railway, then the future of Gwadar will definitely be more than the word prosperity can be described. ”

Farouk and others' eyes lit up, and if it could be connected with China's western region, the benefits to Pakistan's economic development would be self-evident. Pakistan has a lot of minerals and resources, but it lacks pipelines to make use of them, with the help of railways, China's goods and products can be exported directly to the Indian Ocean from here, and Pakistan's goods can also go south to the sea and north to China.

Such a huge project was unimaginable to Farouk and his colleagues, and even for China in this era, it was somewhat beyond its capabilities. Fortunately, Qi Yiming, the rich man, does not need to let the state pay for it, and the base rewards and the banknotes he earns will always have to be spent. And the sooner Pakistan is completely tied to China's chariots, the better it will be for the development of the Indian Ocean and Middle East strategy.

Maintaining a good relationship is nothing more than four words, affinity, sincerity and tolerance, that is, building feelings, frank communication, mutual benefit, and mutual tolerance. This is the main axis of diplomacy in the 586 era, and it is the crystallization of thousands of years of philosophy of Chinese civilization. Pakistan is not rich, and there are foreign enemies, pulling this little brother to make money, improve their domestic economic situation, and then help them against India, but also for himself to see India, a restless but stupid neighbor who does not know how many pounds and taels he has.

Qi Yiming's thinking is that connecting with Pakistan is also very beneficial to his own development of the western region. Now that he has the ability, Qi Yiming does not want to have an order of getting rich first and then getting rich, and the western part should also be as rich as the east, and the western part will be more stable if the conditions are better, and the separatist sentiment of the ethnic minorities who enjoy the reform and economic dividends will naturally not be so strong.
