What he didn't expect was that this time the other party agreed very happily and immediately agreed to arrange for him to meet with General Jin Zhenyu, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission.

Lieutenant General Ava probably knows more about this legendary figure in the political world than Pang Jindong, and he has also met Jin Zhenyu before.

What Lieutenant General Ava didn't know was that the study room where Jin Zhenyu received him was the same study room where Pang Jindong went. It was in this study room that Pang Jindong and Jin Zhenyu finalized the future of Kokang.

Lieutenant General Ava was very pleased that Jin Zhenyu could meet him. He even felt a little relaxed when he first came to this study room, because it meant that it was a private meeting.

Lieutenant General Ava's visit is inherently secret. On this occasion, he can speak freely without worrying about too many meaningless wordings.

"Please sit down!" Jin Zhenyu's face was very cold, as if covered with a layer of frost, causing Lieutenant General Ava's newly thawed mood to freeze again in an instant.

Lieutenant General Ava forced a smile and said in blunt Chinese: "I'm glad that General Jin can meet me..."

Jin Zhenyu interrupted Awa: "There is no need to say polite words. Now that there are no outsiders behind closed doors, let's just talk about it!"

Lieutenant General Awa didn't mind Jin Zhenyu's attitude. Instead, he mustered up the courage to say: "General Jin, actually I want to do the same. Since we are all soldiers, let's talk about issues in a military style!"

"good."

Lieutenant General Ava no longer hesitated and asked frankly: "I came to your country this time because I want to know your country's attitude towards the Kokang War."

General Jin Zhenyu did not answer this question, but smiled and said with a hint of sting: "Your country's generals frequently visited East Asian countries some time ago, even South Korea and Japan. I always thought you would be the first

Visiting our country, I didn’t expect to wait until now for General Ava.”

This sentence is against diplomatic etiquette, but this is not a real diplomatic occasion, and the two of them are not diplomats.

Faced with Jin Zhenyu’s question, Lieutenant General Awa simply dispensed with those hypocritical diplomatic rhetoric: “As far as I know, your country has such a custom when holding banquets, which is to save the best dishes for last.

Just go up. I think there is a similar truth in many things, the most important thing is always left until the end."

Lieutenant General Ava's words were neither condescending nor arrogant, and Jin Zhenyu nodded slightly. However, Jin Zhenyu's position was already known in advance, and no matter how Lieutenant General Ava performed, it had no impact on it.

Jin Zhenyu looked calm and asked slowly: "So, what can we help your country?"

Of course, Lieutenant General Ava could not really make any demands on Country Z, so he just repeated the question he just asked: "We want to know your country's attitude towards the Kokang War!"

"Our attitude is..." Jin Zhenyu looked at Lieutenant General Ava and said word by word: "We firmly oppose the ethnic persecution carried out by your government in the Kokang region, although this persecution is in the name of safeguarding the country's territory and sovereignty.

It is carried out in name, but it still cannot conceal the nature of the crime. This kind of behavior by your country not only destroys the peace and unity in MD, but also poses a threat to the situation in the entire Indo-China Peninsula." After a pause, Jin Zhenyu added: "These

This is what our country has clearly said in its earlier statement, and the question you ask me now can only get this answer."

Lieutenant General Ava took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to say: "But your government's diplomatic statement did not say that it would secretly support the rebellion of the Kokang Republican Army."

"Oh?" Jin Zhenyu's gray brows squeezed together and asked with a half-smile, "How can you say that?"

"We found weapons produced by your country on the battlefield, and also found that your government provided a large amount of funds to the Kokang Republican Army, and that many of your citizens crossed the border to join the Kokang Republican Army."

Jin Zhenyu opened his brows, as calmly as before, and explained the accusations made by Lieutenant General Ava one by one: "Our country exports a large number of weapons every year, and some of the ordinary weapons are not sold directly to a certain country, but to

To some international arms dealers. As for who these arms dealers will sell weapons to, we do not know. If the Kokang Republican Army has money and contacts these arms dealers, they will naturally have our weapons. I believe you should have noticed

, there is no production mark of our country on these weapons, it is the work of those arms dealers. Since our two countries are close to each other, it is not surprising that international arms dealers regard the Kokang Republic Army as the best sales market."

What Jin Zhenyu said was very clever. The lack of production marks on the weapons and the geographical proximity of the two countries could have proven that Country Z secretly supports the Kokang Republican Army, but now it has become a commercial choice for international arms dealers.

After taking a sip of water, Jin Zhenyu continued: "As for the funding issue, it must be clarified that it is not provided by the Chinese government, but the Chinese people are outraged by your government's persecution of the Chinese and actively raise donations. Chinese citizens participated in Kokang

The same reason applies to the Republican Army."

"Did your government not interfere at all?"

"We are a democratic country. As long as what citizens do complies with the provisions of the law, they will not be forcibly interfered with. However, our country's laws do not make any provisions in these aspects." Jin Zhenyu snorted lightly and continued: "Indonesia

When several countries were hit by tsunamis, our country’s private sector organized a lot of donations, so why didn’t we see the relevant countries coming out to express our gratitude?!”

Lieutenant General Ava almost asked: "What if your government uses the people to carry out its own political agenda?"

But when the words came to his lips, Lieutenant General Awa swallowed them again, because this question seemed fatal, but it had no practical significance. Not only would the relationship between the two parties become tense, but Jin Zhenyu could deny it calmly.

After thinking for a moment, Lieutenant General Ava asked: "Does this mean that you will allow this kind of behavior among the people to continue?"

"Instead of caring about the anger among our people, your country should do some more practical work, such as eliminating the source of this anger."

Lieutenant General Awa immediately understood that Jin Zhenyu was referring to the anti-Chinese incident some time ago, so he hurriedly explained: "The Gunong incident was planned by a Burmese nationalist in our army, Thong Lai, who was killed in action a few days ago.

Otherwise, he would have been arrested and court-martialed by now."

"The fact that you did not explain the Gunon incident as a spontaneous act by the people shows that you still have a certain degree of sincerity." Jin Zhenyu's expression remained calm, but his tone became sharper: "But I believe that if your government does not have anti-Chinese tendencies,

It is impossible for a mere Tong Lai to cause such a big disturbance. Seeing the persecution of overseas compatriots, the anger among our people is completely understandable. I can tell you frankly here that some people have repeatedly written to the Central Committee,

Asking our country to carry out humanitarian intervention. But considering the friendship between us for many years, we have not done so, and we have not even put forward any proposals at the United Nations that are unfavorable to your country."

"Our country has always kept in mind the support of your government and is very grateful. But..." Lieutenant General Awa looked at Jin Zhenyu's expression and said in a tentative tone: "I hope the general will not forget, md the Chinese hold

Some of them have md nationality, not citizens of your country."

Jin Zhenyu had expected Lieutenant General Ava to say this, and immediately told him without hesitation: "First of all, as a big country and a permanent member of the Security Council, our country has a certain moral responsibility when humanitarian disasters occur in neighboring countries.

Responsibility; secondly, the Chinese are indeed citizens of your country, but the Kokang people have not joined MD nationality, and they still legally hold our nationality to this day."

General Ava pointed out tit for tat: "T status to be precise."

"You'd better watch what you say, T is an integral part of our territory."

"But after all, we are under the jurisdiction of two different governments. This is an undeniable fact." After a pause, Lieutenant General Ava immediately added: "Of course, our country has always supported the reunification of your country."

Fortunately, Lieutenant General Awa added such a sentence, otherwise Jin Zhenyu would have slapped the table and become angry.

Although country Z has always been weak in diplomacy, it has an untouchable bottom line, and that is T.

The government of country Z will never give in on any issue involving T. Any attempt to challenge country Z’s sovereignty over T will be met with strong counterattack by country Z.

Jin Zhenyu suppressed the rising anger and told Lieutenant General Ava word for word: "Since it is the same country, anyone who has a nationality in that government is also a legal citizen of that government."

In fact, the nationality issue of Kokang people—especially members of the Kokang Republican Army—is difficult to say clearly. On the one hand, they do not have MD nationality, but on the other hand, whether they have T citizenship is also a question.

Over the years, the most popular slogan shouted by the Kokang Republican Army is not Kokang freedom, but "Give me back my nationality."

When Pang Jindong first arrived at Changqing Mountain, he saw a big sign standing at the foot of the mountain, with these four words written in traditional Chinese block letters.

Lieutenant General Awa did not argue with Jin Zhenyu on this issue, because neither party has nationality, which means that as long as the person concerned agrees, anyone can bring him to his side.

Moreover, the Kokang Republican Army came from country Z after all. It was only due to the change of regime in the mainland of country Z that such a legacy problem was created.

For many years, the md government has treated them as foreigners, both internally and externally.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Awa was worried that the other party would become angry and simply restore the nationality of the Kokang Republic Army to Country Z. In that case, the problem would be even more complicated.

So he simply followed the trend and directly changed the nationality of the Kokang Republican Army members to T. In fact, this was a very smart approach.

Lieutenant General Ava sneered, and his tone became a little less polite: "Since your government believes that it is responsible for the citizens of T, there is one thing that makes me feel very strange. Regarding the Indonesian decommissioning riots in 1998,

.”

Although Lieutenant General Ava paused when he said this, Jin Zhenyu still clearly understood what he meant.

The government of Country Z showed an indifference and indifference to the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia in 1998 that shocked the world. Perhaps it was because it realized that there was something wrong with its approach.

However, for a period of time later, the government spread many opinions at home and abroad through some mouthpieces to explain it. One of them was that Chinese Indonesians hold T nationality, and it is inconvenient for the mainland to intervene.

Jin Zhenyu didn't expect that Lieutenant General Ava would be waiting for him here, and the anger he had just suppressed rose again.

At the same time, Jin Zhenyu had to realize that Lieutenant General Ava's words were logically correct. For this reason, Huo could only show his incompetence.

As a result, Jin Zhenyu had to suppress his anger again, but his tone became sharper: "On this issue, we have made mistakes before, but it does not mean that we will not correct this mistake now and in the future."

Seeing Jin Zhenyu admit his mistakes frankly made Lieutenant General Ava admire this veteran even more: "Since your government has made mistakes, it should allow others to make mistakes too. The riots are just a conspiracy of a few individuals, absolutely

It does not represent the position of our government." After taking a few breaths, Lieutenant General Awa said affectionately: "The friendship between our two countries has a long history, and the current diplomatic relations are the result of the foresight of the older generation of leaders.

What was created with careful consideration and has withstood the test of the changing international situation cannot be destroyed just because of a few bad elements!"

Looking at Lieutenant General Awa's sincere expression and expectant eyes, Jin Zhenyu felt admiration and regret at the same time. What he appreciated was that Lieutenant General Awa was really a talent.

It is a pity that such talents should be loyal to a hopeless government.

For a moment, Jin Zhenyu almost didn't want to do something that would disappoint Lieutenant General Ava, but he still had to say what should be said: "I also hope that the friendship between us can withstand the test, but considering the history of your country,

With the ongoing anti-Chinese riots, it is necessary to re-examine this friendship, and the premise of the review is that the legitimate rights and demands of our citizens can be met."

"General Jin..." Lieutenant General Ava almost jumped up from his chair when he heard this: "You mean we have to agree to be bold and independent?"

Jin Zhenyu smiled strangely: "You said this! I never said it!"

An ominous feeling immediately occupied Lieutenant General Ava's heart, and his face instantly turned pale: "Of course we will respect the legitimate demands of the Kokang people, but... but is the demand for independence legitimate?"

“Nothing is absolutely legitimate or improper, and different positions have different understandings of ‘legitimate’.”

"General Jin..." Lieutenant General Ava stood up slowly and looked at Jin Zhenyu with complex eyes: "I had received intelligence before coming to your country that your country was secretly supporting the Kokang Republican Army, but I still couldn't believe it...
