Chapter 37 The Oriole is Behind
Lu Zheng sighed and said, "You know, I have no choice but to ask the country for instructions." As he said that, he signaled the staff to serve tea and shock Naishan.
General Naishan said: "But, the leaders of the Communist Party of Myanmar are now under the protection of your country, aren't they?"
Lu Zheng said helplessly: "These are two different things."
Naishan also knew that what Lu Zheng said was not false, so he leaned on the sofa dejectedly.
Lu Zheng thought, "But don't worry, I will do my best to help you fight for the best rights and interests, and will protect your personal safety no matter what."
Naishan then felt refreshed and sighed in his heart. Minister Lu was a benevolent person. In this case, political refuge was sought after and there was no hope. If someone else had to refuse his request, it would have been a cold-hearted person, involving political and personal friendship between countries. It is not worth mentioning. He was just a king.
Outside the reception room, the knock on the door sounded softly, and Naishan immediately became nervous. He saw a young man walking in from outside, coming to Duke Lu and whispering a few words in front of Duke Lu's ear. Duke Lu's expression became serious.
"General Naishan, wait a moment, I'll go out and take a look." Minister Lu stood up, and the female translator followed him out.
General Naishan was nervous and asked in despair: "Is it Wen Rui's person?"
Lu Zheng nodded slightly: "Chairman Wen Rui's adjutant comes to negotiate, I'll talk to him."
General Naishan felt like falling from an ice cave, and his weak eyes looked at Lu Zheng's back and left.
In another reception room of the embassy, Lu Zheng met Wen Rui's adjutant Deng Min. He was also black and thin, with a little fierce look in his mouse-like little eyes.
Dunmin first took out a series of materials and photos to prove that he had obtained the exact evidence of Naishan entering the Chinese Embassy, including testimony from the military and police in the embassy district.
"I hope the Minister will put the overall situation first and hand over the treason Nayama to us for handling." Domto is neither humble nor arrogant, but his tone is very firm, leaving no room for bargaining.
Outside, the Myanmar military and police have surrounded the embassy, of course, it can also be said to protect the embassy's safety.
Listening to Deng Min's words, Lu Zheng smiled and said, "China's position has always hoped that your country's political situation will be stable. However, General Naishan has applied for political asylum. According to the procedures, we will conduct an assessment. It will take about one to two weeks. At that time, our decision will be sent to your government for public notice.
Dunmin frowned and said, "Mr. Minister, this is inappropriate. Naishan intends to launch a coup and murder our country's top leader. If your country protects him, it will have an irreconcilable crack in the relationship between our two countries.
Lu Zheng said: "I understand your concerns, but please consider our position. If there is a rift in the relationship between our two countries, I think the reason is still your country."
Deng Min's face was gloomy and she was unwilling to accept it if she was sent away like this, but the Minister Lu's attitude was very tough, and if she continued, she would not get the answer she wanted.
Just as he was hesitating, the door of the reception room was gently knocked, and a Chinese diplomat rushed in, came to Lu Zheng, and whispered a few words in Lu Zheng's ear.
Lu Zheng nodded slightly, then turned to Dengmin and said, "Outside the embassy, people from the General Staff of your country's National Defense Forces said that there is an emergency notice to convey to you."
Deng Min was stunned. Seeing that there was no result after he continued to say something, he had to get up and said, "Then, on behalf of Chairman Wen Rui, I hope that in a week, I will get a fair reply from your country."
Lu Zheng nodded, and a diplomat next to him sent Deng Min away.
Lu Zheng picked up the teacup, drank the tea, and also got up and walked out. Wang Xiaoqi quickly walked in, arrived next to Lu Zheng, and lowered his voice: "I just received the information that Wen Rui was seriously injured in today's conflict. There are two sources, one said that his guard captain turned against him and suddenly shot him; the other source said that an unknown militant attacked the suburb villa where he was hiding, and he was injured by stray bullets in the chaos."
Lu Zheng nodded slightly, without saying a word.
In the next week, the Myanmar government did not send personnel to the embassy to contact the Naishan matter. Obviously, it was in great chaos.
During this period, a large-scale public demonstration in Yangon was suppressed by the military's tanks. The scene was very bloody, and it was said that the death toll exceeded 300. At the same time, the military government announced that the Democratic League Party had been banned by an illegal organization. Since then, in the face of the cruelty of the military government, the opposition party has no longer been able to organize a decent march.
Next, the news that Chairman Wen Rui was shot and died was finally announced by the Myanmar military government. Wu Dan, former Deputy Minister of Myanmar's Defense Ministry, announced his appointment as Chairman of the Myanmar Commission for the Restoration of Law and Order, Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Defense Force, and Minister of Myanmar Defense.
In the statement issued by Wu Dan as chairman of the Committee on Restoration of Law and Order, he vowed to eliminate domestic bloody conflicts and called on the people of the whole country to unite in this difficult time and work hard for the new Myanmar. In the statement, he condemned the shooting of the marching people, and vaguely put the blame for the bloody suppression of the opposition to Wen Rui, who had already died of serious injuries in the hospital. At the same time, he declared that the banning of the Democratic League of China was illegal, and announced that he would reconcile with the opposition and work with all political parties to maintain national peace and stability and restore the law and order in Myanmar.
Wu Dan also promised that after the conditions were ripe, he would hand over the power to lead the country to the elected government. But the most important thing now is to restore law and order and peace in Myanmar, which is constantly bloody and conflicting, and if any political parties or civil groups violate this purpose, Bi will be punished the most severely.
After a series of bloody conflicts and coups, it is obvious that the Burmese people are also tired of the current chaos. Polls show that most people welcome the chairman statement of the Committee on Restoring Law and Order, and that the people generally hope that the opposition party can obey the government's laws and restore peace.
On the night after Wu Dan was sworn in as the head of state of Myanmar, accompanied by a few personal escorts, he secretly visited the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar.
In the reception room where Lu Zheng once received General Naishan, Wu Dan and Lu Zheng had a secret meeting for three hours.
After Wu Dan left the Chinese Embassy, Lu Zheng came to the wooden building where General Naishan now lives.
More than half a month has passed, and General Naishan is like a frightened bird every day, and he is becoming thinner and haggard. It seems that he is not a domineering person who can hold life and death out of the way.
Lu Zheng would come to see him every day, which made him feel much more at ease. If he couldn't hear Lu Zheng's footsteps in the evening, he would walk around the house like an ant on a hot pan, as if a disaster would come anytime and anywhere.
Today, when Lu Zheng sat down and drank tea, talking about the meeting with Wu Dan just now, Naishan's face changed slightly, saying: "Lu, will your government accept my application for political asylum?"
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "It's nothing. Chairman Wu Dan believes that you intend to launch a coup to subvert the state regime. He is an extremely dangerous person. However, Wen Rui, who was shot in the coup, is a cruel ruler. Therefore, the new government will not hold you legally responsible, but you will be listed as an unpopular person, and will be deported with your wife and children."
Naishan was stunned. During this period, he almost never asked his wife about her life and death. Then he looked happy, "Lu, thank you, I know, this is what you helped me." As long as he is not allowed to be tried in the country, everything is easy. With his savings abroad, he can still enjoy a rich life in the second half of his life.
Lu Zheng said again: "I have helped you contact several countries. Now there are three island countries in the South Pacific that are willing to accept your application for political asylum. There is plenty of time. When you pick up your wife to the embassy tomorrow, you can plan with your family and live in which country in the future."
Naishan nodded repeatedly, couldn't help but grab Lu Zheng's hand, and said excitedly: "Lu, you are really my great benefactor. I will never forget your kindness."
Seeing his situation, Lu Zheng couldn't help feeling a little guilty, but then shook his head. International politics is bloody, right?
In fact, Wu Dan is the Burmese ruler who Lu Zheng really hopes to establish a long-term friendship.
Because in his previous life, Wu Dan forced Wen Rui to abdicate two years later, and he ruled Myanmar for more than ten years. He was an unyielding iron-fisted figure.
If you choose one from Naishan and Wu Dan, you almost don’t have to take time to consider it. Naishan? Who knows if you have the ability to truly rule this country after really reaching the top of the highest power?
Compared to the unknown number of Naishan, Wu Dan is obviously an unquestionable choice.
Therefore, Naishan can only be a fate of a chess piece and a victim.
Although Wu Dan is only one of the powerful military factions nowadays, he has a very high reputation. As long as he is given a chance, he will definitely be able to step onto the stage of Myanmar's highest political politics, and he himself has helped him create this opportunity.
From the time Naishan launched a mutiny to Wu Dan coming to power, there are more or less his own shadow behind him. As time goes by, Wu Dan should have some understanding of this.
The closer relationship between him and Wu Dan is that the Western consortium he has joined is willing to provide him with the necessary funds to stabilize the initial political situation. Moreover, after he gained power, he will inject US$100 million into the Myanmar Company, and the income will be divided by 55% of Wu Dan's relatives.
For me, initial investment is a good deal from a pure business perspective. Injecting capital into a company that monopolizes a country's economic lifeline. No matter how poor the country is, the business will be profitable and profitable. As long as there is no more major turmoil in the political situation.
For Wu Dan, overseas investments can greatly help Myanma Company in international trade, let alone this investment will allow his family to share Myanma Company's wealth with legitimate reasons.
So this transaction is a win-win situation.
From a political perspective, I hope to establish a friendship with the future Burmese rulers. Although this kind of friendship with entanglement today is a bit strange, at least my goal has been achieved.
There has not been any major change in history. The ruler of Myanmar will still be General Wu Dan in the next decade. The difference is that he has established a relationship with Wu Dan with common interests.
Moreover, Wu Dan should know more or less that he helped him. Without Naishan's aggressive progress, there would be no bloody conflict. After Wen Rui was seriously injured and hospitalized, Wu Dan appeared as a liberator who ended the chaos, which won the hearts of the people and temporarily solved the problem of the opposition's demand for power. In the future, he will inevitably win over and suppress the opposition party as in his previous life, dismantle the opposition's forces, and carry on his iron-fisted rule.
As for the relationship between Myanmar and China, Wu Dan has always pursued a policy of getting along with both sides and maintaining the strategic balance between Myanmar and India, which is also the way for small countries to survive.
It is unrealistic to say that it is one side to China, but the strange bonds he has established with him will inevitably have a certain impact on him, thereby affecting his choice on some key issues.
In this way, your own goal can be achieved.
