Klaus was surprised because he knew that a Ukrainian government delegation would visit Myanmar in three days. The delegation, with a total of more than 60 people, not only officials from various departments of the Ukrainian government, but also more than ten representatives sent by the three major military-industrial enterprises. Among the three major military-industrial enterprises, the "Ukrainian marine shipbuilding enterprises" have just sold two advanced marine survey ships with a displacement of 3,000 tons to the Myanmar Navy. According to the military trade agreement secretly reached in May last year, four new 205p "poisonous spider"-class patrol speedboats with a speed of 35 knots were built for the Myanmar Navy. Currently, two of them have completed the installation of weapon systems, radar and navigation systems, and will be delivered to the Myanmar Navy for use.

Since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, Ukraine has inherited a lot of the Soviet weapons industry, with 700 military factories and 500,000 employees, and its military output value accounts for about one-third of Ukraine's GDP. Since its independence, Ukrainian military-industrial enterprises have relied on repairing foreign Soviet-made equipment and selling stock of old goods to make ends meet. However, with the increasing number of weapons in many Eastern European countries, Ukrainian arsenals' "living their old capital" is difficult to continue. In recent years, calls for reform have swept the Ukrainian military-industrial industry, and Ukrainian military-industrial enterprises are determined to develop new equipment with new concepts and actively enter the international market, but due to the increase in the number of weapons in many Eastern European countries, the Ukrainian arsenal's "living old capital".

With the suppression of the United States and the strong competition from Russia, Ukraine gradually lost its traditional Eastern European and North African markets and had to gradually shift its attention to the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The militaristic Myanmar military government is the focus of Ukraine's attention. Over the past year, Ukraine has made huge profits in the sale of Myanmar army equipment, helicopters and a small number of refurbished ships in small and multi-batch trade. The mutual benefit and mutual trust established has been continuously enhanced, making it natural that the Ukrainian government's large-scale market intervention in Myanmar's emerging market is inevitable. Klaus is very clear about these situations, so it is not difficult to understand his surprise and doubt.

Corning knew exactly what Klaus thought of. He smiled at him without any scruples and said, "I am going to Yangon to welcome the visiting Ukrainian government delegation. You know that my current identity is the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Myanmar Army and the Deputy Secretary-General of the Peace and Development Commission of the Supreme Power of Myanmar. He has also been promoted to the Army General. At the request of Chairman Danrui, I have to attend friendly meetings between the two sides. Taking this opportunity, I can tell you one more thing. That is, the political memorandum of understanding between Myanmar and Ukraine, as well as economic, trade, and conventional friendly military exchanges, agreements such as economy, trade and conventional friendly military exchanges will be signed one after another in the next few days."

Klaus shook his head and asked with a smile: "I'm afraid it's the Russians' turn to visit next?"

Corning laughed: "You are so interesting, and you are right. Last night, Colonel Vasirinov, a Russian military officer in Myanmar, spoke to me and complained that their government was slow to respond. I happily accepted his suggestion. I decided to make an opportunity to visit Russia with the right to be elected as Deputy Prime Minister of Myanmar."

Klaus raised his eyebrows: "Kang, I understand what you mean. To be honest, it is sad that our relationship has developed to such a bad situation. You may also know that although there are many people who are hostile to the Myanmar government in the United States due to ideological and other relations, there are also many of your friends. No one wants to see Myanmar and the United States get into evil, but they also hope to carry out all-round mutually beneficial cooperation. My arrival is part of my efforts for this."

"Klaus, whether you want to admit it or not, the US government has indeed hurt the Burmese feelings heavily, and it has hurt one after another."

Corning regretfully put down his wine glass and continued, "For example, I almost died under your sinister murder. I am even more sad and sad about it, but despite this, I still sit with you very politely and talk with you with sincere kindness. I hope that the two countries can improve their relationship and embark on a track of healthy development and friendly coexistence. Your strong government still lacks the sincerity it deserves. If it weren't for the huge domestic public pressure, you might have forgotten the captured military advisers who sent a backward country to subvert its regime... Sorry, my words are a bit harsh, but as an old friend, I would not be willing to use those gorgeous diplomatic rhetoric to perfunctory you."

Klaus nodded: "Thank you. Kang! I know that it's difficult to come this time, but I hope you can see the sincerity of the US government and the good desire to resolve conflicts. But now... all your public opinion is hostile to the United States and misleading the Myanmar people. They even find out the old accounts of the Indians a hundred years ago to prove that Americans are raped, aggression and despicable behavior, and it seems that they want to add all the sins of the whole world to the Americans. This is very unfriendly. Kang. I know that with your careful planning and long-term efforts, your three major media organizations have become the mainstream of Myanmar public opinion. Your Myanmar Satellite TV, which is gradually building international influence by taking advantage of the opportunity of war, the Myanmar Voice Broadcasting Corporation, which is shouting to the world twenty-four hours a day, and newspapers and magazines affiliated to the Myanmar government are deeply influencing the political orientation and values ​​of hundreds of millions of people in Southeast Asia. We are very sorry for this."

"I understand your regret. The regret you said can be understood as anger or disgust at this time, but have you ever thought about it? Are there few countries and governments in the world that have been subverted by your strong public opinion? What are your world-renowned media such as CNN, VOA, and other world-renowned media? I will not talk about the long-term false accusations and discrimination of sovereign countries such as China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and even Argentina. Our good neighbor, every political unrest in Thailand, has your shadow. I will not talk about it. I will only talk about how your public opinion treats Myanmar: Until today, you are still tirelessly turning black and white, misleading the people of the world with hypocrisy and deception, and using it.

Your so-called democratic values ​​slander and ruthlessly attack the Myanmar government, and even mock the Burmese people for their appearance and weak character! But why can't you stand it when others speak? You don't even allow us, fragile people, to be honest, a lot of what we have done now is due to your successful experience in the United States, especially in terms of public opinion guidance. I will not hide it from you, even if the relationship between Myanmar and the United States improves in the future, we will not stop discussing and questioning all behaviors in the United States. At this point, we will greatly strengthen your so-called democratic construction of free speech."

Corning's voice was soft and tactful. However, the meaning in the words was very sharp, allowing Klaus to deeply understand the true meaning.

Klaus shrugged regretfully: "Leave this matter to politicians to resolve! I said Kang, why are you asking for the release of our captured people so high? One hundred million dollars! This is what you call sincerity? You should know that the US government has never been threatened by anyone or any force in this regard. Whether it is to the powerful former Soviet Union or today's China, Americans have never surrendered to anyone. Your decision will make the problem worse and worse."

"Yeah?"

Corning smiled slightly, picked up the beer bottle and poured it slowly for Klaus: "I admire the great American people. They have established the most powerful country on this planet in the American continent without anything. It is impossible without a tenacious character and tenacious fighting spirit, but we cannot despise other nations because of this. Every nation that has reproduced to this day has its own blood. Perhaps many nations are more willing to use patience and compromise for space for survival and development. For example, under your tireless teachings, a great country chose to disintegrate the nation and self-destruct, and a great country could tolerate the bombing of the embassy for stability and development.

We were hit by our own airspace, but we would not do this, because we have reached the critical moment of life and death, and we have reached a critical moment of either sinking or raising our heads and raising our chests! Another thing is that we are extremely poor and have nothing, and we are no longer worried about bloodshed and death. We do not want to fight but are not afraid of war. As long as we are still alive, we will never endure all external subversion and plunder. Even if only the spear will fight to the end for survival and development, because axioms and justice have been deeply rooted in people's hearts. As long as we have justice and justice, we will not surrender to any force, including the powerful America that makes you extremely proud."

"Your words are sad. It seems that I've been in vain this time!" Klaus took a big sip of beer and sighed loudly.

Corning put down his glass and said gently: "Klaus, I don't want your relationship to be affected by excessive language, especially this beautiful night that is rare. But in this case, I have to tell you clearly, don't think that you can break into someone else's house as roughly as last time, knocking someone else's plane and killing someone else's pilot, only to compensate 340,000 dollars, to deal with the eight prisoners of war. That's a delusion! We have nothing to beg you, and nothing to be afraid of. Even if you don't get a penny,

We will stick to our principles when it comes to war, because we have been living under your suppression and humiliation for so many years. No matter how bad it is, it will be nowhere to be bad. If you are unhappy, you can do another murder. But please remember my words: As long as you dare to do it again, my comrades and I will dare to retaliate within our ability, and even anywhere in Southeast Asia can reach. At that time, we will never be limited to revenge between soldiers and government officials. Even if a war of destruction is launched, we will do whatever we can."

"Are you threatening me?" Klaus looked at Corning coldly.

Corning smiled calmly and said, "It can be said that although this so-called threat is ridiculous, you can even put me on your terrorist list. Just like to Saddam... I will tell you one thing. After I become Prime Minister, you will never allow you to set up a new land consulate on any Myanmar territory outside Yangon and Mandalay, and will also cancel the privileges that your embassy and consulates have over other countries. For example, your embassy vehicles can pass at will without hello, because you also do not give the Myanmar Embassy such privileges. Of course, private commercial institutions invested and operated in Myanmar in Myanmar will be treated equally."

Klaus stared at Corning's eyes for a while, sighed and leaned heavily on the back of the chair: "Kang, remember the first time you sat with me and drank?"

"Remember, you were not as heavy as you are now." Corning smiled and added another cup to Klaus.

Klaus shook his head helplessly: "Recently, I often remember the scene when I first met you, and I can't forget it... At that time, Panlong City had just begun to be built, with dilapidated shacks, dust everywhere, and people with complex emotions such as panic and yearning on their faces; at that time, you were full of sincerity, not only helped us transport the bodies of American Warriors, but also took great care of our officials. I still thank you. Now all this has changed. Almost everyone I met has a rebellious smile on their faces. When you see foreigners, you are no longer watching, and you are becoming stronger and more difficult to deal with... Ning, tell me, are you really planning to give in this time?"

"Yes! Nothing to give in!"

Corning nodded and smiled, "But I can give you a suggestion. If you think human life is equal, you can ask your British friends how they cherish life. My friends, don't think that the British are old-fashioned. Their diplomatic experience and way of dealing with problems are not worse than that of you Americans. They also know very well how to achieve decent results, and then mutual benefit will push the relationship between the two parties to a more gentle and friendly prospect of cooperation."

Klaus browsed: "I understand... Thank you Kang! How about another drink?"

"You can't drink mine. If you are not afraid of losing your word after drinking, I will drink with you until you are satisfied." Corning smiled with satisfaction.

"Is that so? Haha, let's go for a competition today to see if you are really as strong as the legendary one, haha!" Klaus laughed and was very proud. The pressure in his heart suddenly dropped. He understood that the prisoners of war had already had a result, which was to cleverly cover up huge compensation like the British in economic, trade, investment and cooperation. Moreover, Klaus also understood the meaning of Corning's words. The original 100 million US dollars was just a price, and the final bottom line was to pay the same price as the two British people who were about to be released. They only needed to use hidden civil behavior without going through any form of discussion between the government, and would not damage the reputation of the United States.

After drinking three bottles of beer, Klaus looked at Corning's calm smile and sighed. He realized that he could not drink the opponent in front of him, nor did he have the wisdom and flexibility of his opponent. At the same time, Klaus also felt that any intimidation and threat were useless to this opponent with a gentle appearance and a tough heart. Even the powerful American army could not suppress him. He and his followers were like a group of wild wolves dominating the Shan State Plateau, who could grimacate for his own interests and beliefs.
