Diplomacy at a distance and attack at home. For a country, war and diplomacy have always been complementary to each other. And because it has successfully established the United Nations headquarters in Guangzhou, from a diplomatic perspective, compared with other countries, the Chinese government at least occupies the congenital right time, place and people. and advantages.
The United States and Japan secretly signed a treaty, and the world situation changed instantly. It was also a huge test for the Chinese diplomatic community headed by Song Ziwen. However, because of its outstanding military performance, China has made a name for itself around the world and gained the "favor of a large number of countries". "Respect and trust". Compared with the old Western powers such as the United Kingdom and the United States, China still lacks obvious leadership qualities because its foundation is too weak. National self-confidence cannot be achieved overnight. Strong national self-confidence requires the accumulation of several generations. It takes time to settle.
The United Nations currently has more than 50 countries from all over the world gathered under its umbrella. However, because the vast majority of these countries are limited to playing soy sauce, not many can truly fight side by side with China.
Due to historical limitations, as far as Asia is concerned, except for Thailand, which can be called a completely independent sovereign country, others such as Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Laos are still in a colonial state, and some have not even developed a national will. Originally, the Soviet Union should have become China's strongest ally. However, due to the Far East issue, instead of becoming "the enemy of my enemy is a friend" because of its political and ideological differences with the West, it has become a ally that hovers in the sky and is always watching for China. of a sinister vulture.
The China-led coalition has developed to date and has included nine countries: China, France, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, North Korea, and Japan. However, except for the Korean People's Liberation Army and the Japanese People's Liberation Army, which have a certain scale and combat power, the French Restoration Army The national army and the Thai National Defense Force are just superficial, and their role in the coalition is limited to waving the flag and shouting when war begins.
Despite this, Song Ziwen's diplomatic workload is still unprecedentedly large. Adhering to the view that "the friend of the enemy is the enemy", what Song Ziwen and others have to do is to prevent some weak countries from becoming "friends of the enemy" to the greatest extent, so that the United Nations can It truly continues to exist in Guangzhou.
Yes, with the secret treaty between the United States and Japan, from Ouyang Yun to an ordinary employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they all have a new understanding of the United Nations. It is true that the current United Nations is actually a mere appearance, but it contains huge political implications. Resource potential, to put it another way, whether it is now or in the future, as long as the United Nations is well run, it can bring huge political returns to China. This is why the coalition government finally agreed to bleed Brazil and even South America in the medical industry.
Three days later, at the White House in Washington, USA, Truman summoned Secretary of State Standinius, who had just returned to the United States.
The two people first briefly talked about the new situation in Brazil, and then the topic turned to the "Guangzhou Initiative."
The "Guangzhou Initiative" happened just yesterday. The content is that the chief representatives of several Southeast Asian countries led by Thailand at the United Nations Headquarters in Guangzhou issued an appeal after a brief discussion, requesting the leaders of several major allied countries to consider world peace and give up disputes. Let’s work together to solve the two cancers of “Nazism” and “militarism” that endanger world peace at an early date.
From Truman's true intention, he actually didn't want to pay attention to this so-called "Guangzhou Initiative". What countries initiated the initiative? Except for Thailand and Brazil, which looked a bit like it, Truman had never even heard of the others. The United States As the president, he has to deal with tens of thousands of official duties every day. It seems that he has no extra time to pay attention to such small things. However, even if it is just because Brazil is involved, from the perspective of national interests, in order to stabilize the backyard of South America, he must Give attention.
Standinius had just returned from Brazil and was familiar with the situation in South America. Truman asked him: "What do other South American countries think of the 'Guangzhou Initiative'?"
Standinius replied: "South American countries have reacted relatively coldly to this matter. They are now more concerned about the situation in Brazil. Mr. President, the 'Guangzhou Initiative' is definitely a conspiracy played by the Chinese. I think it is not difficult to crack it. As long as we can change Brazil, South American countries will definitely not care."
Truman shook his head, obviously disagreeing with his view, and said: "What you said makes sense, but this matter is not as simple as you think. According to the latest news we got from Guangzhou, Chinese Foreign Minister Song Ziwen is organizing We are planning to establish an international disease prevention organization. By the way, it is called the "International Community for the Prevention of Epidemic Diseases". You and I both know that medicine and medical care are the strengths of the Chinese people. I suspect that the Chinese are using the export of medical technology as a bait to attract more people. countries to join the Union Army."
"There is such a thing."
"yes."
"Then we should immediately ask the Red Cross to issue a condemnation and ask the Chinese to give up this practice. The earth does not need a second international medical organization."
"It's useless, the Chinese will definitely not pay attention to it, and Europe is in a melee, and the Swiss may not be able to pay attention to it."
"That,."
"I decided that we would take the initiative to establish a similar organization, called the Inter-American Epidemic Prevention Community."
Standinius's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised: "What a great idea. In this case, we can at least ensure that South American countries will not be attracted by the Chinese."
"You are specifically responsible for this matter. When seeking member states, you can promise that as long as you are a member state, all medical resources will be shared, and the United States will send a considerable number of medical experts to countries with poor medical conditions. The United States And we are willing to help these countries train a certain number of medical talents for free every year."
"Mr. President, this will be a huge expenditure for Congress."
"Don't worry about Congress. For the United States, it has reached a moment of life and death. Those big capitalists will know what to do."
"Mr. President, please forgive me, are you preparing to compete with China for your family fortune?"
"Yes, I just want the Chinese to know who is the real world power and who is qualified to become the real world master. China has just entered industrialization, but we in the United States have completed industrialization. I admit that as far as military is concerned, "We are not a match for the Chinese yet, so we will use our economy to bring them down. The Chinese once asked us to support them with even rice, but I want to see how long they can hold on this time."
It is not difficult to find out from Truman's words that he indeed found China's biggest weakness, but he forgot one thing. Since Ouyang Yun can transform China from a poor and backward agricultural country into a prosperous country at the speed of a rocket class, it is not difficult to find out. As an industrial country, will he be afraid of this kind of war of attrition?
