“We know that the people in Mopancheng area have been oppressed by bandits for many years and live in dire straits,” said Vice Premier Sun sympathetically. “So, not only will we support the development of your industry and commerce, we will also provide you with comprehensive support.
assistance."
"Comprehensive support?" Zhang Yi repeated this sentence, hoping that Vice Premier Sun could give further explanation.
"Yes," Vice Premier Sun waved his hand vigorously and said, "Your place has high mountains, deep water, and barren land. I heard that people are reduced to cannibalism, which is sad. To change this situation, we decided to provide support
Your 1.5 million kilograms of grain will help you survive this cold winter."
"So much food?" Zhang Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised. This amount is still quite a lot, especially for Greater China, which is extremely short on food.
"Don't be surprised, Comrade Zhang Yi, this is just our first aid," Vice Premier Sun said with a smile, "but it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. In order to solve the fundamental problem, we decided to form a team of experts to help
You open up farmland and teach you how to grow food on polluted land. You help you dig wells and draw pure groundwater..."
Zhang Yi looked back at Xiao Han, his eyes widened with an expression of disbelief. Zhang Yi told his brother with his eyes to stay calm.
In fact, Zhang Yi could hardly sit still. Vice Premier Sun apparently overlooked one point: Mopancheng’s compressed biscuits and mineral water have become a luxury product that people are rushing to buy in Greater China.
Commander Chen looked a little embarrassed and wanted to remind Vice Premier Sun that there was no shortage of food and water in the Mopan City area, but in diplomatic situations, subordinates would not dare to point out the mistakes of their superiors casually.
"Vice Premier Sun, we have found a way in agriculture, and we need experts in other fields, such as those who understand mechanical technology, those who build bridges, those who mine iron ore..." Zhang Yi said euphemistically, but he kept saying it.
It stopped.
He was surprised to see Vice Premier Sun.
"Comrade Zhang Yi, the road must be walked step by step, and a person must be down-to-earth," Vice Premier Sun sighed, "Yesterday you were living in a cave, and today you want to live in a brick house. Is it possible? In addition, we will
Send a team of teachers to improve your reading and literacy skills."
Zhang Yi feels something is wrong. How many people will be sent?
Vice Premier Sun stood up, walked to the map of China, pointed at the Mopan City area, and said passionately.
"Speaking of bridges, Comrade Zhang Yi, rest assured that we will build a road from Xinhui City to Mopan City. The name Mopan City is too backward. We can give it a new name, such as Xinxing City, which is like a rising star.
A rising star!”
Have you even thought of a name?
"Vice Premier Sun, as you said, we have to walk step by step," Zhang Yi said with a chuckle, "I'm afraid the people in the Mopan City area are not ready to change their name. I think there is still an understanding between us.
process."
This is polite diplomatic language.
In fact, Zhang Yi already understood their policy, which was to bring the Mopan City area into their jurisdiction at once, so he expressed his attitude tactfully, which was to refuse.
But Vice Premier Sun was obviously immersed in his own thoughts and continued.
"The people need guidance. They have lived in a closed and backward environment for a long time, and it is difficult for them to accept new things. I can understand that it takes time to build roads. When the roads are built to Xinxing City, I think they will accept it.
This brand new name."
Zhang Yi felt that he had to make his point clear.
"Vice Premier Sun, I can feel your sincerity, but I am not the only one who has the final say on the affairs of the Mopan City area. Things like building roads, appointing people, and changing names all need to be decided by a vote by the entire people."
The smile on Vice Premier Sun's face froze and he was surprised.
"What, you implemented a democratic electoral system?"
Zhang Yi and Xiao Han nodded in unison.
Vice Premier Sun put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in the office of the Military Region Commander at Nuovo University. He was wearing a pair of round-toed shoes left over from long ago and made a loud sound on the brick floor.
“How significant is this?” he asked full of questions. “It seems like a good thing to implement a referendum in an already backward area, but it is not. Don’t you know that 99% of the people there are illiterate?
One person is illiterate? And nearly half of the people are bandits? So you are moving towards extremism, formalism and nihilism. It makes no sense!"
It's inexplicable to wear three hats in a row.
Not only were the words unreasonable, there was simply no way to continue the conversation.
Xiao Han took advantage of Vice Premier Sun's backing and lightly patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder, meaning that this was the time to test Yi Ge. He must not offend Vice Premier Sun, but also escape unscathed.
It would be wrong to argue and argue impulsively when young and energetic. Not only will it be useless, but it will bring adverse consequences. After all, this is their territory.
Commander Chen's face became more solemn and his eyebrows were furrowed. He was just a soldier. He did not have as advanced theories as his superiors, nor did he know his superiors' policies. Now he knew that his superiors had decided to occupy the Mopan City area.
Zhang Yi quickly adjusted his thoughts and smiled at Commander Chen to express comfort. He could see that Commander Chen was in a dilemma, and the development of the matter was unexpected.
So Zhang Yi said calmly.
"Vice Premier Sun, if you have the chance, I really want to invite you to visit Mopan City, get to know the people there, understand our development situation, and then discuss how the two sides can cooperate. In addition, I think that now there are a large number of your people
The influx into the Mopan City area will lead to instability in the regional situation."
Upon hearing this, Vice Premier Sun stopped and turned around to stare at Zhang Yi with a serious look on his face.
"Where did you start talking about this? Look, I will definitely go and see it. Who has the right to say anything without conducting on-the-spot investigation. However, you seem to mean to refuse our assistance. You said, how could our people enter that area?
Unrest in the region?”
"Because it is a buffer zone between the three countries. From a strategic perspective, only by remaining neutral can we avoid direct encounters and conflicts among the three countries."
Zhang Yiyan spoke concisely and comprehensively, and clearly told Vice Premier Sun that the Mopancheng area must maintain its independence. Doing so will be beneficial to everyone.
Avoid unnecessary arguments to avoid irritating the other party. Make your own views clear to avoid misunderstandings about cooperation.
This is what Zhang Yi did.
Vice Premier Sun was very disappointed. He never expected that the other party would not appreciate Greater China's generous assistance and friendly support. He became excited and threw his hands and shouted loudly.
