When the US Secretary of State went to meet with the French President, Wang Yuanqing was in the head of state of Bill, France's ambassador to China.

Although Wang Yuanqing had arranged for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to launch diplomatic actions in the EU and submit diplomatic notes to various member states, in order to show respect for France, he still received the French ambassador alone.

Because the French ambassador has lived and worked in the Republic for many years and can speak Beijing dialect that is more standard than Wang Yuanqing, and it is not a formal meeting, so Wang Yuanqing did not ask Jiao Piaoshan to arrange for an interpreter. The French ambassador did not raise any objections to this arrangement. After all, Wang Yuanqing's English and French are not very good. Communicating in Chinese can allow more accurate exchange of opinions and avoid trouble caused by language barriers.

After the necessary politeness, the French ambassador first entered the main topic, namely the purpose of the war in the Republic.

Wang Yuanqing deliberately pondered for a while, making the French ambassador believe that he did not respond hastily and gave a solemn reply. "We must first admit that the Sikkim issue not only does not exist alone, but is one of the many major issues that require the joint efforts of the international community. The ethnic conflicts in ethnic areas in South Asia are very prominent, which not only affects regional peace and stability, but also creates a humanitarian disaster that shames the entire human civilization. Since our country proposed to restore the status of Sikkim as a member state at the United Nations, our country has proposed a variety of solutions, including peace negotiations, and has also proposed an action plan to help Sikkim establish a normal national order.

Your Excellency the Ambassador should be very clear that before taking military action, our country has repeatedly urged India to make a positive reply and do its best to peacefully resolve the Sikkim issue. Even if there is only the last glimmer of hope, our country will not take military action. Facts have proved that just as if it had occupied southern Tibet in my country for decades, India not only did not express any sincerity on the issue of peace negotiations, nor did it make any effort for peace. Taking military action is our last and most forced method. If there are other options, our country will not take military action."

The French ambassador nodded slightly and said, "But as far as I know, your army did not immediately stop military operations after expelling the Indian army in Sikkim, but also attacked India. It expanded the scope of military strikes. Master Head, if your country is really working for peace, why should it expand the scope of military strikes?"

"The issues mentioned by the Ambassador are also issues that I hope your government can understand." Wang Yuanqing smiled slightly, looking very graceful. "Why should we expand the scope of military strikes? In fact, this is not our will, but the actions that our country has to take in extreme circumstances. Your Ambassador should know that when our army entered Sikkim in accordance with the authorization of the Sikkim government, India not only did not stop its horse, but instead became more and more powerful and sent troops to invade Sikkim again. Helping Sikkim restore its sovereign state is not empty talk, nor is it just expelling tin

The Indian army in the territory of Jin. Only the territory and sovereignty of Sikkim are sufficiently guaranteed, and only by establishing a government belonging to the people of Sikkim. Only when the security of Sikkim is no longer threatened can Sikkim gain true independence and freedom. Imagine that if our country allows the Indian army to invade Sikkim again, what is the significance of our army's actions in Sikkim besides adding war to the people of Sikkim? Although we must admit that we must pay the price for independence and freedom, we must respect the facts more and make the price we pay meaningful. For this reason, our country has made the decision to send troops to India."

"So is your country's military intention to occupy India or dismember India?"

"None are not." Wang Yuanqing answered very decisively, saying, "There is a Buddhist story about Buddha Shigamoni saving a pigeon. An eagle would starve to death because it could not eat the pigeon. The Buddha cut off a piece of meat as heavy as a pigeon from his body and gave it to the eagle. Although I am not a Buddhist believer, Buddhism has a history of thousands of years in our country. We will not let the 1.7 billion Indians suffer for the independence and freedom of hundreds of thousands of Sikkim people. Although our country has participated in many wars over the years, every war is not what we hope to happen. More importantly, we have never annexed, nor have we divided any pounds of a pound, a country. Instead, we have helped some countries achieve national unity. India is a big country with a population of 1.7 billion and an influential power. We will not annex or split India."

"Does this mean your country will not interfere in the internal affairs of Edar after the war?"

Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Mr. Ambassador. I think the people of your country have the most say in this issue."

The French ambassador hesitated for a moment, and seemed not to understand what Wang Yuanqing meant.

"For a long time, the entire Western world believed that democracy and freedom were above everything else." Wang Yuanqing picked up the cigarette on the coffee table and said, "As far as I know, your country has participated in the war operations of bombing the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for this reason. If you start from the viewpoint of the Ambassador, bombing a sovereign and independent country is considered to be interfering in the internal affairs of other people? More importantly, the reason for NATO's bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was to stop humanitarian disasters. What happened now in India, especially the endgames of the northeastern region of India and the year that year.

What is the difference between the endgame of birth in Yugoslavia? In my opinion, it is just a white man who has become a yellow man, and it has only become a corner of the world from the central part of the Euroun. The nature of the humanitarian disaster has not changed. If the Ambassador thinks that my key is unreliable, then the "International Federation of Press, the free reporters from the scene...! The plan may make your country's people believe that we not only want to stop the same thief" really happening, but also punish the murderers and let those executioners who committed the crime of drinking and heaven be tried by law

”.

The ambassador of the law sighed secretly and said, "Since the Head of State mentioned the humanitarian disaster, can we make a reasonable explanation for the actions to bomb Kolkata?"

"It must be explained, but it is not for me." Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Maybe the Ambassador wants to ask more is why our army has refused to let reporters go to Kolkata to this day. There has been no positive report on the actual situation in Kolkata. I hope that the Ambassador will tell your country's reporters that it is not our army who deliberately blocks the news. And if we are responsible for reporters, we have to block Kolkata. As a city with a population of tens of millions, Kolkata is the least thing that should have happened. Although our army had tried its best to win the surrender of the Indian army guarding Kolkata before the attack, and provided citizens with the right to leave the war zone and in other towns. Our army also took the same action to minimize the harm of the war to civilians, but the Indian army not only did not surrender, but also forced the pacification of the Indian army.

The people participated in the battle. According to the information I obtained, the city of Kolkata was severely damaged, and some Indian troops who were stubbornly resisting were hidden in the ruins of the building, posing a threat to anyone entering Kolkata. Therefore, before opening to reporters, our army must first eradicate the remaining Indian troops. Because the battle was too heavy, a large number of dead soldiers and innocent civilian bodies could not be dealt with in a timely manner. In order to prevent secondary disasters, our army still needs some time to carry out the aftermath work. So please tell your reporter that it is not that our country does not allow reporters to go to Kolkata, but the current situation does not allow it. As long as the aftermath work is completed, the personal safety of the reporters is guaranteed, our army will not only open Kolkata, but also invite reporters from all countries to interview and report."

The French ambassador nodded and said, "Can the Head of State give a specific time?"

"This Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "For two to three days, if the reporter really wants to know the situation in Kolkata as soon as possible, he can follow the Bangladeshi army who is responsible for post-war management to Kolkata. Of course, the safety of the reporter is also under the responsibility of the Meng army, and our army will not bear the relevant responsibilities."

The French ambassador thought for a moment and said, "It's better to start that question. Will your country interfere in India's internal affairs after the war."

"This has to be determined by the specific situation."

“What’s the specific situation?”

The French ambassador broke the baton and asked to the end. Wang Yuanqing was not surprised because many European countries, including France, were very concerned about whether the Republic would control India.

"Let me say that." Wang Yuanqing thought for a moment and said, "The fundamental purpose of our country's troops to India is to resolve ethnic conflicts in South Asia, liberate those ethnic minorities that have been suppressed and unfairly treated for a long time, and provide assistance to hundreds of millions of civilians who live below the poverty line and have no guarantee of personal safety. Whether it is our country, your country, and all countries that love peace, they are unwilling to see the next war. Therefore, our country will try our best to properly resolve the problem. In other words, whether it can solve the ethnic issues in India and allow ethnic minorities who have lived under the rule of terror for a long time to receive the due respect and rights. This will determine our country's post-war policy in India."

The French ambassador frowned slightly and did not rush to raise new questions.

Although Wang Yuanqing's words were a bit difficult to pronounce, the meaning was very clear. What made the French ambassador a little ridiculous is that in the past, Western countries have always criticized the republic with topics such as democracy, freedom, and human rights, but now the republic uses the same topic to deal with India, which makes Western countries unable to refute it.

After pondering for a while, the French ambassador said: "According to the promises that the Head of the Head, we will not occupy or dismember India. So how can the Head of the Head of the People's Republic of China ensure that the minorities in India obtain their due rights?"

"This is exactly the problem I am considering. It is a problem that can only be solved by using great wisdom." Wang Yuanqing did not give a positive answer, but instead played Tai Chi. "In terms of ensuring the rights and interests of ethnic minorities, not only our country has the right to speak. Your country and other Western countries also have the right to speak. Especially human rights, democracy and freedom, your country has the right to speak. Slogans cannot solve the problem. Only by implementing the slogans in specific actions and achieving results can the problem be solved. I believe that the issue of ethnic minorities in India is not only a problem of India, nor is it a problem that our country can solve. It is a problem that requires the joint efforts of the whole world and mankind."

“That is, your country intends to resolve India’s post-war problems through international channels?”

Wang Junqing smiled and said, "The Ambassador said this very well, and it was only too vague. It did not implement it on specific issues. India's ethnic minority rights and interests does require the joint efforts of the international community, but India's post-war problems are not just about ethnic minority rights and interests, but also about post-war reconstruction, restoration of social order, providing humanitarian assistance, rebuilding the political system, etc. Although many of these problems require the efforts of all mankind. But I believe that most countries, including your country, do not want to be involved. This is just like NATO has not allowed the international community to jointly solve the issue of Yugoslavia and the United States has not allowed the international community to jointly solve the Iraq issue. No matter how noble a country is, the first thing to consider is national interests, not the responsibilities and obligations that must be borne for the benefit.

The French ambassador's brow jumped a few times and read out the king

"Your Ambassador, you don't have to worry too much. Our country has the determination and ability to handle India's post-war issues." Wang Yuanqing knew that the other party understood what he meant, so he no longer talked about it. "I hope that your Ambassador can accurately convey my meaning to your president. France is the first Western country to establish a formal diplomatic relationship with our country. Over the past decades, although our relationship has undergone many twists and turns, I believe that on the basis of our efforts to eliminate differences and establish consensus, our relationship will develop rapidly. France is a friend of the Republic, and the Republic is also a friend of France. As a great country, we should not only respect and trust each other, but also make more efforts in maintaining world peace and stability, promoting human development and progress, and assume the responsibilities and obligations of a great country."

"I must have passed the words of the Head of State to the President without any error."

After the meeting ended, Wang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief after Jiao Piaoshan saw him off.

Although the ambassador does not have to be extra cautious in wording like in the face of reporters, the French ambassador has been testing the bottom line of the Republic. Wang Yuanqing had to be more cautious.

When Jiao Jishan returned to the study, he brought Li Cunxun in.

"Sallivan has arrived in Paris, and after getting off the plane, he headed straight to the French Presidential Palace. But there is nothing to worry about. The French government only sent an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the airport to greet Sallivan."

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly and said, "It seems that I'm in vain."

"It can't be said that, France's attitude is still not very clear, and the Prime Minister has not been asked to go to the airport. Maybe he doesn't want to express his attitude too early." Li Cunxun picked up the cigarette box that Wang Yuanqing placed on the coffee table. He said, "Overall, the attitudes of EU member states led by France are still very ambiguous, and there will be no action until the situation becomes clearer."

"I think so too, at least the French ambassador has not brought any meaningful information."

Li Cunxun lit the thug, got on the cigarette, and looked at Wang Yuanqing.

"I asked a lot of questions but did not mention the existence of the French government."

"This is understandable, after all, it's just an ambassador and can't make a decision."

Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "How confident are you?"

"What's the sureness? Li Cunxun was stunned for a moment. Then he said, "Are you talking about the attitude of the EU? Judging from the information I have, as long as France stabilizes its position, other EU member states will complain at most and will not follow the United States to make a fuss. As for what will be like in the end, it depends on Sallivan's performance in Paris."

"Sallivan is a diplomatic person and has been dealing with France for several years. He won't return empty-handed, right?"

"If you want to get it, you must give it first. What can the United States give to France?"

Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "It seems that you can be a diplomat."

"National interests are not a matter of face, nor are they a one-time deal. What France wants. The United States cannot give it, nor can it give it. As long as the United States is still tampering with the issue of EU political integration, even if France makes concessions, Germany and Italy will oppose it.

Besides, the effect of public opinion has been shown. People in European countries are generally dissatisfied with India and are also very dissatisfied with the United States that support India. When Sallivan left London, thousands of British peace organizations went to the airport to demonstrate and demanded that the United States stop providing weapons to India. The French president cannot ignore the attitude of the people. He will even follow the public opinion and put pressure on Sallivan to demand that the United States restrain itself. If this is the case, it is not us who is troubled, but the United States."

Wang Yuanqing pondered for a while and said, "If we announce a strategic blockade against India at this time, will it have a negative impact?"

"Strategic blockade?" Li Cunxun immediately frowned.

Wang Yuanqing nodded and waited for Li Cunxun to answer the questions he began to ask.

"That depends on the level of the blockade." Li Cunxun destroyed the cigarette butts and said, "The problem of strategic blockade against military materials should not be big. Judging from the international situation, if we do not impose a blockade on India, it will have a negative effect. The question is, how to define military materials and humanitarian materials? Not to mention other things, there is a lot of controversy in food. If the scope of the blockade is too large, it is likely to lead to a shift in public opinion. Besides, the United States suffered a loss and will definitely stare at us and look for opportunities to counterattack. Even if we only prohibit military materials from flowing into India, the United States will try every means to cause trouble for us, and will even join forces with other countries to create pressure on us in the name of safeguarding the right to free navigation and trade rights. In any case, I think it is better to slow it down. After this wave of public opinion climax, it will not be too late to consider the strategic blockade."

"The question is, can we wait?"

Li Cunxun picked up the second cigarette.

"Xiang Yinghui's analysis is completely opposite to you. He believes that we should immediately block India. Although as the Chief of General Staff, Xiang Yinghui mainly considers the issue from a military perspective, the actual situation is that the United States' weapons and equipment are indeed flowing into India continuously. If it is not restricted and stopped, the pressure on the front-line troops will increase rapidly, and war investment and war losses will exceed our tolerance."

Li Cunxun sighed and said nothing.

Wang Yuanqing didn't ask again, because such strategic issues were not within the scope of the decision-making of the Military Intelligence Bureau. The head of state should make the decision.
Chapter completed!
