Chapter ninety-ninth

Erbol and Shaugara's participation in the war has a great impact on the other countries around India.

Before the war broke out, in addition to Pakistan and Bhutan, India's Zhou Mian Kingdom, Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka negotiated with the Republic on a unified basis. Although the fundamental purpose of the four countries was not completely consistent, Nepal wanted to resolve the territorial dispute with India, Bangladesh wanted to help the Bangladesh people in India gain autonomy, Myanmar secretly supported the Assam Independence Movement organization in eastern India, and Sri Lanka wanted to obtain more maritime benefits, but on basic issues, the four countries' opinions were basically the same. That is, defending national interests with the help of the Republic. According to the initial agreement, the four countries took concerted action on the issue of participating in the war, that is, after the Republic achieved a decisive victory on the battlefield, it declared war on India. As a result, when Myanmar and Schulanka were not prepared, Nepal and Bangladesh took the lead in declaring war on India, which put Myanmar and Sri Lanka in a dilemma.

If Nepal and Bangladesh declare war on India, the Republic is likely to take this opportunity to raise the threshold. For example, the Republic had only verbally promised to resolve the dispute between India and neighboring countries after the war, as well as ethnic issues in India, and did not sign a formal agreement with any country. With Nepal and Bangladesh participating in the war, the importance of Myanmar and Sri Lanka participating in the war is no longer obvious. There are great changes in whether the Republic can fulfill its promise or propose a new foundation for cooperation. If neutrality continues to be maintained, after the Republic achieves a decisive victory, Myanmar and Sri Lanka will participate in the war again, which will be even more meaningless. It can be seen that Myanmar and Sri Lanka have no choice.

It is just possible variables that make the two countries very unwilling.

On the morning of the Oral Day, the special envoys of the head of state of Myanmar and Sri Lanka arrived in Beijing.

Unlike the visit of the special envoys from Nepal and Bangladesh a few days ago, the special envoys of the two countries not only did not hide their whereabouts, but instead accepted interviews with reporters at the Capital International Airport, promoting the purpose of visiting Beijing in a high-profile manner.

Wang Yuanqing was not surprised by this.

After asking Yan Jingyu to the airport to welcome the two countries' special envoys, Ji Yuanqing held a state banquet for the two heads of state according to the standards of receiving foreign heads of state.

Such high standard reception standards made the two envoys a little more at ease.

In any case, the Republic is the only ally that Myanmar and Sri Lanka can rely on. Even if the Republic goes back on its word, Myanmar and Sri Lanka can only rely on the support of the Republic if they want to safeguard national interests. The two special envoys made a high-profile statement in front of Chinese and foreign journalists at the airport, just to convey information on defending national interests through the media, laying the foundation for the next face-to-face negotiations with Wang Yuanqing.

Because it concerns the fundamental interests of the country, even when facing the state banquet that is famous at home and abroad, the envoys of the two countries have no appetite.

After the state banquet, Wang Yuanqing invited two special envoys to the head of state.

The talks were still held in the study, and Jiao Piaoshan prepared the best tea for the three of them. Because the envoys of both countries had work experience in China, could speak very fluent Mandarin, and had closed-door talks, Jiao Piaoshan did not arrange translation. There was no need to arrange translation.

Before the talks began, the two special envoys expressed their most sincere greetings to Wang Yuanqing on behalf of the head of state.

In accordance with diplomatic etiquette, Wang Yuanqing invited two special envoys to convey sincere greetings to the heads of state of the two countries.

After the politeness, the talks quickly entered the topic.

"Wang Mouyu believes that the two special envoys came Wanli. They must be discussing war with our country." Wang Yuanqing said, taking out a cigarette, "Actually, the problems are all on me. When discussing war with Nepal and Bangladesh, I was unable to inform the two countries in time. Of course, I asked the two special envoys to convey their deep apology to your head of state on my behalf, and hope that the two countries can understand it. After all, the war has reached this point, the Republic has declared war on India, and Pakistan has also participated in the war. There are too many things to be solved. To be hiding two, it has been more than ten days. The senior leaders of the Republic, including me, have not even had enough sleep time to do anything neglected in their work. It is also inevitable that it is a matter of negligence.

Wang Yuanqing took the initiative to lower his identity, which made the envoys of the two countries a little flattered.

"The Head of State said too seriously. As a sincere ally of the Republic, we can fully understand the situation of the Republic." The Sri Lankan envoy took the lead in speaking, "This time, in addition to greeting the Head of State on behalf of His Excellency the President, the main purpose is to provide the Republic with the best of its ability in the war. China-Sri Lankan relations have a long history. Seven hundred years ago, we established good-neighborly and friendly relations. In recent decades, China-Sri Lankan relations have risen to a new height. If it were not for the strong support of the Republic, Sri Lanka would not have obtained a stable domestic order. In the past twenty years, the help the Republic has provided to Sri Lanka is obvious to all, especially in the economic field. The selfless aid and help of the Republic has not only ushered in the most glorious era in history, but also benefited more than 20 million Sri Lankan people. As the saying of the Republic, the road is far away and the horsepower is long and long.

It meets the hearts of the people. Countless facts have repeatedly proved that the Republic is not only a friend of Sri Lanka, but also the most trustworthy and relied on Sri Lanka. Since our country has set up the basic national policy of alliance with the Republic, we have been unswervingly advancing the forward route of establishing a long-term friendly alliance with the Republic. The difficulties of the Republic are the difficulties of Sri Lanka; the enemy of the Republic is the enemy of Sri Lanka. Although Sri Lanka loves peace. The 20 million Sri Lanka people are very eager to obtain a peaceful and stable living environment, but when the Republic is in need and when the Republic encounters difficulties, Sri Lanka will never stand by and the Sri Lanka people will not allow any country to infringe on the interests of the Republic. In the face of the great enemy, Chuan is eager to make preparations for everything. As long as the Republic needs it, we are willing to fight side by side at any time to fight against the common enemy and welcome the final victory."

After listening to this long speech, Wang Yuanqing felt relieved slightly without expressing his opinion.

"The same is true for the people of Myanmar. The interests of the Republic are the interests of Myanmar." Seeing that the Sri Lanka envoy was so active, the Myanmar envoy could not sit still. "After China-Myanmar diplomatic relations, the Republic has always been the biggest backer of Myanmar. With the help of the Republic, we not only established the same social system, but also established a modern economic system. If it were not for the full support of the Republic, Myanmar would not have been able to eradicate domestic cancers, eradicate separatist countries, and create unrest

Terrorist organizations. Especially in the past twenty years, with the help of the Republic, Myanmar's economic development has made great progress, and 60 million Burmese people have become the biggest beneficiaries. Every Burmese person knows that only by relying on the Republic can we live a good life. If the interests of the Republic are violated, Myanmar's interests will be lost. When the Republic is in need, the people of Myanmar will have no choice but to take up weapons, work together with the Republic's military and civilians to defeat the common enemy."

Although the words of the Myanmar envoy are shorter, the meaning of the expression is also more sincere.

Wang Yuanqing only heard half of the words of the two special envoys. As the saying goes, there must be something to give. The two special envoys spared no effort to speak fancyly. When praising the Republic and improving the status of the Republic, they definitely hope to get more rewards. And it is not a verbal reward.

It has to be admitted that the envoys of the two countries are proficient in Chinese culture and know the tradition of Chinese people to save face.

The problem is that Wang Yuanqing is not an ordinary person and has no face in national interests.

Killing the cigarette butts, Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "The two envoys are too modest. Whether it is Sri Lanka or Myanmar, the main force in promoting national development and progress is the people, and the Republic only plays an auxiliary role. Besides, the relationship between the Republic and the two countries is completely equal. When we help the two countries carry out economic construction, we also get reasonable returns. Of course, Sri Lanka and Myanmar are both the ally concubines of the Republic, and they are the most important allies, and allies have the same interests. But I really hope that on the issue of war, the two envoys can give to the head of state

To convey my prudent opinion. Military affairs are never a joke. From the beginning to the end, I insist that no allies should be forced to join the war. If the war has a serious negative impact on the allies, it will not only destroy our relationship, but also believe that the people of both countries will not agree. Of course, I do not oppose the two countries sending troops to the war on the basis of defending national interests. After all, national interests are above everything else, and a government that cannot defend national interests is not a qualified government. As for this, I hope that the two countries will think twice before acting on the issue of sending troops to fight, and never act irresponsible. It will harm national interests."

After saying this, Wang Yuanqing lit a second cigarette without hesitation.

From this we can see that Wang Yuanqing's diplomatic talent is not inferior to diplomats. Using the topic of "national interests", not only did Sri Lanka and Myanmar refute the theoretical basis of "protecting the interests of the Republic. It has not offended the two heads of state envoys, but also kicked the ball to the two envoys. If Sri Lanka and Myanmar still insist on sending troops to the war, they cannot use the gimmick of "supporting the Republic's combat". Since it is not for the Republic, but for the interests of its own country, it is naturally not possible to offer too high prices on the issue of participating in the war.

Both envoys knew very well that Wang Yuanqing's words meant that the Republic would not raise its bid.

If the Republic refuses to offer higher prices, can it maintain its original promise?

The envoy of Sri Lanka breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw that the envoy of Myanmar did not intend to speak first, he said: "We can fully understand the meaning of the head of state. During this visit, His Excellency the President clearly stated that the territorial waters dispute between Sri Lanka and India has been around for a long time. If it is dragged on for a long time, it will only make the problem more and more complicated. Although we have always insisted on resolving the dispute through peaceful negotiations, India has never made a clear statement in the negotiations, and is even unwilling to have diplomatic contact with us. Since India refuses to negotiate, it cannot resolve the dispute through peaceful negotiations.

Now, we have no other choice. At that time, the Republic sent troops to regain southern Tibet. Although Sri Lanka did not send troops to help, we have always supported the Republic morally and took diplomatic actions. Now is the best time for us to resolve the territorial waters dispute with India. We also believe that the Republic, which has the same experience, can fully understand the urgent desire of the Sri Lankan people to regain the waters occupied by India, and believe that as the most dependable allies in Sri Lanka, the Republic will give us selfless assistance and support."

Wang Yuanqing smiled slightly, waiting for the Burmese envoy to speak.

"Although our territorial dispute with India is not serious, India has been implementing policies to persecute and suppress ethnic minorities in the eastern region for decades, seriously infringing on Myanmar's interests." The Myanmar envoy showed a look of grief and anger and said, "Just like our consistent national policy, Myanmar does not want to interfere in other countries' internal affairs, nor will it interfere in other countries' internal affairs. However, India's national persecution policy has produced hundreds of thousands of refugees, which makes the Myanmar people unable to bear it anymore.

Myanmar is ready for the war, and we also believe that the Republic will never allow the humanitarian disaster to continue and will definitely save the ethnic minorities who have been tragically persecuted by the Indian government."

After hearing the Burmese envoy's words, Wang Yuanqing couldn't help laughing.

Relatively speaking, the Sri Lankan envoy is more honest. At least on basic issues, he did not avoid the long-term conflict between Sri Lanka and India, nor did he make excuses to defend national interests. The Myanmar envoy is about to be fulfilled. He kept saying that he protected the minority in eastern India's 21-Wind Myanmar has not even solved the problem of ethnic minorities in its own country. What reason is there to protect ethnic minorities in neighboring countries?

The main purpose of Myanmar's doing this is not to support Assam's independence, but to use the independence movement of Assam to gain the interests of eastern India and establish a country controlled by the Myanmar government, laying the foundation for Myanmar's prestige in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Although Myanmar is an ally of the Republic and has developed to this day under the protection of the Republic, otherwise it would have been subverted by Western countries led by the United States, the Myanmar government has never given up its ambition to dominate South Asia and Southeast Asia. From the most basic perspective, the people of the Myanmar government instilled the idea of ​​dominance, not that Myanmar really has the strength to dominate, but instead used it to divert domestic conflicts.

As the only dictatorial government in Southeast Asia, the degree of corruption of the Myanmar government is outrageous. For national interests, the Republic has not interfered in Myanmar's internal affairs. Instead, it has spent decades to use the lives and blood of thousands of soldiers to help Myanmar eliminate the domestic drug lord separatist forces. It defeated the anti-government guerrillas in the north. It even spared no effort to help Myanmar establish a modern national economic system and enable Myanmar to industrialize.

Influenced by the political system, most Burmese people did not benefit from economic development or only obtained the most basic benefits, and most of the benefits fell into the hands of bureaucrats. From the old year to the strong year of Li Qiang, Myanmar's GDP increased by ten thousand times, people's income increased by only three times, government administrative expenses increased sharply, and social wealth was concentrated at an extremely fast speed in the hands of a large family with military background. Before the Peninsula War, among many countries with close economic relations with the Republic, Myanmar's social problems were second only to North Korea. As North Korea completed its unification and established a democratic political system, Myanmar has become the country with the most serious domestic conflicts in the surrounding areas of the Republic.

After Wang Yuanqing implemented political reforms in the Republic, the relationship between the Republic and Myanmar underwent subtle changes.

For the Myanmar government, the Republic's political system reform not only has a real threat, but also has a subtle influence on the Myanmar people. Although the Republic will never send troops to overthrow the Myanmar government, after all, Myanmar is an ally of the Republic. If the Republic takes action against the Allies, what will the other allied states think? The problem is that the Republic has carried out political reforms, which has given new ideas to those Burmese people who have close contacts with the Republic. Myanmar is increasingly relying on the Republic economically, and it is increasingly unable to stop new thinking among the people.

The spread among the people of Myanmar is increasingly dissatisfied with the corrupt military government. As long as this dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain extent, it will change from quantitative change to qualitative change. Although the Myanmar government is also working hard to reform and use various means to alleviate domestic conflicts, before the basic political system, that is, the dictatorial system controlled by the military, can only delay the total outbreak of conflicts, and it is impossible to fundamentally resolve conflicts. If there is turmoil in Myanmar's political situation, will the Republic continue to support the Myanmar government as always?

That's why Myanmar has been on guard against the Republic over the past few years.

Before the war broke out, Myanmar was hesitant about the issue of joint troops, and was far less active than the other three countries.

Until now, Myanmar still avoids the important points and does not want this war to intensify domestic conflicts, causing those in power who hold the lifeline of Myanmar to lose their power and become victims of the democratic movement.

Wang Yuanqing had known the situation in front of him for a long time, so he didn't want to be very happy about Myanmar.

After making a clear attitude, the conversation afterwards became much simpler.

In fact, the concerns between Sri Lanka and Myanmar are meaningless. From the beginning, Wang Yuanqing did not intend to change the promises he made before the war broke out, otherwise he would not have let Yan Jingyu go to the airport to welcome the two envoys, and would not have treated the two envoys at the head of state.

After Wang Yuanqing promised to still fulfill his promise in accordance with the oral agreement, the Sri Lankan envoy took the lead in making a statement.

According to the commitment, Sri Lanka will open several of its main ports to facilitate the fleet and fleet of the Republic entering the Indian Ocean, and dispatch fleets to assist the Republic in strategic blockade of India and undertake the escort mission of assisting the kilometer routes on both sides of the east and west. The Republic promised not to establish an independent state after the war, provide national security guarantees for Sri Lanka during the war, return the waters occupied by India to Sri Lanka after the war, and pay the costs incurred by the fleet and fleets to dock and rest at Sri Lanka ports through economic investment after the war.

After the Sri Lankan envoy made a statement, the Myanmar envoy could not speak without saying a word.

According to the promise, after the Republic annihilated the Northeast Army of India, Myanmar will dispatch ground troops from a division to assist the Republic's army in controlling the eastern part of India, and after the war, it will decide the political form of Assam by negotiating Fang concubine. It will not provide more support for the Assam independence movement organization during the war and ensure the stable passage of the war in eastern India. The Republic promises to provide necessary support to the Myanmar army fighting in India, and consider the political status of Assam after the war, ensure the interests of the Assam people, and default to the interests of Myanmar in eastern India.

In the end, Wang Yuanqing did not forget the most important thing, that is, Sri Lanka and Myanmar declared war on India before the thugs of the day before Beijing time.

That night, the two special envoys returned to the embassy and reported the good news to the government.
