life in the sky

The news that the Liu family's grandparents and grandchildren were scooped up by the central government quickly spread throughout the capital. When everyone knew the ins and outs of this incident, they all understood a truth. The central government's determination to fight corruption is unquestionable, and its authority cannot be tolerated. Those who violated, if anyone provoked the head of No. [-], what happened to the grandparents of the Liu family is their example.

For a while, the major political families called their descendants back home, strictly ordering them to abide by the law and discipline, and anyone who dared to disobey would go to see what happened to Liu Jinjin.There are also some families who simply confine their descendants who like to make trouble outside at home. After this incident, the sons and brothers in the capital have restrained a lot, and no one dares to go out to cause trouble anymore. The well-behaved dare not mess around again.From this it can be seen that it is not that these sons are not easy to manage, but that the central government has not made up their minds. As long as they have made up their minds to clean up a few of them, everyone must think about it. No matter how powerful their family is, it cannot be too big In the central government, no matter how high their Lao Tzu's status is, they cannot compare to Lao Mu's family.

The affair had another unexpected consequence.The singing general has been moving around for a while, planning to organize a group of people to jointly submit a letter to the central government, requesting the central government to revoke the order to revoke their military ranks. Seeing that the results are about to come, it is reported that old general Liu has been demoted. Read the document According to the classified news, their big tree fell down, so naturally no one dared to move anymore.You know, when the tree falls, the hozen will definitely disperse.

Mu Congwu said to Mu Guoxing on the phone: "Guoxing, your boy's move is really powerful, a typical double-edged sword."

"Hehe, Second Uncle, I also learned this from you."

"It's okay, I don't have your brains. You act like the old man, but you are a little tougher than him. You really deserve to be a descendant of our old Mu family. But this is also good, and it not only maintains the prestige of the central leadership , and showed off his muscles for everyone to see, this is another double-winner."

In Meng Haibo's private club, there were several people sitting in the back courtyard.Qu Weihua, Minister of Culture, Wen Lei, the son of Wen Yiqiang, vice chairman of the Military Commission, and Huang Guoqiang, Mu Guoxing's brother-in-law and son of the current No. [-] chief, got together again.

"Our boss has shown his iron wrist again this time."

It was Meng Haibo who spoke, and Wen Lei went on to say: "That kid from the Liu family is indeed nothing. I can't explain what he did even for three days and three nights. I've looked at him for a long time. If he goes in, he will suffer. I think he will be sentenced to life if he can’t eat a single peanut this time. Boss will be happy to clean him up this time.”

Qu Weihua smiled and said: "You have only seen the surface but not the essence. You think that the boss is just trying to clean up the Liu family. Let me tell you, if you think so, you are underestimating the boss."

Qu Weihua is the most scheming among the four of them. Although his grandfather has passed away for many years, and his father has retired, the influence of the old Qu family is still there. Qu Weihua can get to where he is today. It is not entirely dependent on the shadow of his ancestors, nor is it inseparable from his ability.

Huang Guoqiang smiled and said nothing, others didn't know, but he knew that his big brother-in-law was amazing, he was impeccable when he spoke, and absolutely let no one find any faults in his actions.He knew that what Qu Weihua said was very reasonable, the uncle didn't do this just to clean up the Liu family, but to kill chickens for monkeys to see.

"Brother Wei Hua is right. After this incident, I'm afraid there will be fewer people who don't know the level and depth in the future."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The foreign ministries of China and Japan have released a message at the same time that Japanese Prime Minister Takeru Sato will pay a three-day visit to China in the near future. At that time, Mr. Mu Guoxing, Vice Premier of China, will discuss the international situation, the world economy and the relationship between the two countries. talks. **Bubble! Book.Bar*

As soon as this news was released, it immediately attracted great attention from the news media of various countries, especially when the world economy is gradually heading for recession, the US economy is on the verge of collapse, and the sovereign debt crisis of the European Union countries is intensifying. The world's second and third largest economies It is of extraordinary significance to have the heads of government of all parties meet together.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of China, Wei Anguo, who made a special trip to the airport to greet the Japanese Prime Minister, got off the car and did not rush to the VIP lounge. Very good, why did it suddenly change today, the sky was rainy in the morning, as if it was heralding something to people.

It has been almost a month, and after so much tossing, Sato Takeru finally came. Under the current complicated international situation, Wei Anguo has no idea what the two countries can negotiate.But there is one thing he firmly believes in, that is, the powerful figure of Chief No. [-] will never let the Japanese please him.

The Japanese Prime Minister's special plane converted from a Boeing 747 wide-body airliner landed at the Beijing International Airport without missing a second. Takeru Sato walked out of the cabin, looked at the rainy weather, and frowned slightly.When we took off in Japan, the sky was still bright and sunny, but it became like this when we arrived in Beijing.An ominous feeling flooded Sato Takeru's heart. He felt that this visit to Huaxia might not get what he wanted.

There is no welcoming crowd under the gangway, let alone a red carpet. If it weren't for this special plane, no one would have thought that this is the majestic Japanese Prime Minister's visit to China.Although he knew Huaxia's etiquette arrangements in advance and made mental preparations, when he saw this deserted scene at first glance, Sato Takeru still had an unknown fire in his heart: Damn Huaxia, how dare you look down on me, the prime minister? , one day there will be a good look at you.

Although I was unhappy, I still had to explain the necessary understanding. It wasn't because of Wei Anguo's pretty face, it was mainly because he was facing the lens of the camera, and no one would be rude on such an occasion.

"Welcome Prime Minister Takeru Sato to visit China. I am here to welcome you on behalf of Vice Premier Mu."

"Thank you, Mr. Minister, for coming to the airport to greet you on behalf of Vice Premier Mu. You have worked hard."

The two of them seem to be doing great work on the surface, but at the same time they are carefully examining each other. Since there is no welcoming ceremony, Wei Anguo has completed the task as soon as the two sides meet.This small convoy drove to the Great Hall of the People, where Huaxia Vice Premier Mu Guoxing will hold an official welcome ceremony for the Japanese Prime Minister on behalf of the Huaxia government.

The name of the Japanese national anthem is Kimi no Dai. Although there is no superficial agitation and excitement, it contains infinite vitality and decisive will.The whole piece is short, only eleven bars in total, and the tune is full of strong national characteristics.The original song was composed by Oyoyoshi Oku, a musician of the Imperial Household Ministry of Style, and re-arranged in 1880 by the gage musician Lin Guangshou. It has a history of more than 100 years.

According to the schedule jointly formulated by the two parties, three o'clock in the afternoon is the time for the official talks between the leaders of the two countries. During the whole welcoming ceremony, Mu Guoxing and Sato Takeru said no more than ten sentences in total. There is nothing to talk about, but it can also be seen from this that the relationship between the two countries has dropped to a freezing point.

"Has everything been arranged?" After the ceremony, Mu Guoxing returned to the lounge and said to Wei Anguo, the foreign minister who followed him in: "Although Sato Takeru looks calm on the surface, his eyes can't deceive anyone. The talks could have a nasty battle."

"The soldiers came to block the water and cover it with soil, and Sato Takeru is nothing special. This time they are begging us."

Mu Guoxing said slowly: "Although the Japanese nation has done a lot of evil things in history, it has also brought scars that will never be erased to our Chinese nation, but judging from their own characteristics, This is a nation of resilience, and you can see that in their national anthem."

Wei Anguo opened his mouth in surprise, he felt that Chief No. [-] was simply amazing.As the foreign minister, Wei Anguo has heard many national anthems of various countries. In his opinion, national anthems are only an indispensable part of diplomatic occasions, but he has never noticed the meaning that can be heard from them, let alone like Mu Guoxing, Their national characteristics can be heard from a national anthem.

As Mu Guoxing expected, at the beginning of the meeting in the afternoon, Takeru Sato pre-emptively mentioned the air battle over the Diaoyu Islands, and proposed that Huaxia should compensate them for all losses, and would no longer send aircraft and ships to patrol in the future.

Mu Guoxing listened to Sato Takeru's chirping birdsong, and after translating it into Chinese, he asked, "Prime Minister Sato, I would like to ask you, do you admit that Japan is a defeated country in World War II?"

Takeru Sato didn't understand what Mu Guoxing meant, so he thought for a while before saying, "Mr. Vice Premier, is he trying to use this to humiliate us in Japan?"

Mu Guoxing smiled and shook his head: "Prime Minister Sato misunderstood, I didn't mean it at all, that war not only brought permanent pain to the Chinese people, but also to the Japanese people, the reason why I want to bring this up today , I just want to relive that unbearable history with Mr. Prime Minister. Now, Mr. Prime Minister, please clarify clearly, does Japan recognize that it is a defeated country in World War II?"

Takeru Sato originally wanted to use the air battle over the Diaoyu Islands to talk things out, pre-emptively propose a condition that China cannot accept, and then use this weight to force Mu Guoxing to agree to other conditions proposed by Japan. This strategy can also be said to be very clever .Because all the countries in the world know that China is a country of etiquette, and that wanting to save face is one of the most fatal weaknesses of the Chinese nation. If they shoot down their plane, of course they must make compensation to Japan, so that everyone can live with their face.

Now Mu Guoxing did not answer this question directly, but instead mentioned whether Japan recognized the defeated country in World War II. This was obviously beyond Sato Takeru's expectation, and it is understandable that he was a little speechless for a while.

"Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, I admit that Japan is a defeated country in World War II." Takeru Sato thought for a while before dejectedly said: "This is history, but it cannot predict the future."

Mu Guoxing seized the loophole in Sato Takeru's words, and said in a raised voice: "Since Mr. Prime Minister mentioned history, we have to discuss it carefully, which also laid a good start for our talks this time. "

After the translation was finished, Mu Guoxing said: "Historically, Chinese people were the first to discover and name islands such as Diaoyu Island and Huangwei Island. The earliest extant documents that record the names of Diaoyu Island and other islands are hidden in the Bode Island of Oxford University. Lin Library's "Send with the Wind". In the book, the names "Diaoyu Island" and "Huangwei Island" appeared for the first time under the entry "Fujian to Ryukyu". The charts published by Japan and Ryukyu also stated that these islands belong to China. Although the Diaoyu Islands were within the scope of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" in 1895, they were ceded to Japan by China. The relevant clauses of the "Potsdam Proclamation" return these islands to China. This is history. Our air force was suddenly attacked by foreign military planes in our airspace, and it should have fought back in self-defense. To make compensation to you, it should be you who should accompany you."

Japanese Foreign Minister Taiichi Nakayama felt that it was time for him to speak, and the interpreter said before he finished speaking: "I cannot agree with the opinion of Mr. The so-called unclaimed land. The Senkaku Islands were first discovered and named by the Japanese, and they were also the first to be administered by Japan. According to the principle of pre-occupation in international law, they should belong to Japan."

Text Chapter 610 Clash of Iron Fists

Hearing the shameless distortion of history by Japanese Foreign Minister Taiichi Nakayama, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of China, Wei Anguo, was about to refute, when he heard Taichi Zhongshan's chirping birdsong. After translation, he realized that what he said was: "From the point of view of international treaties, the The island is not within the territory that Japan must give up in the "Cairo Declaration", "Potsdam Proclamation", "San Francisco Peace Treaty" and other treaties. (_The "Japan-US Return of Okinawa Agreement" has also returned the island together with the Ryukyu Islands to Japan, so the Ryukyu Islands and their affiliated islands, the Senkaku Islands, belong to Japanese territory."

Wei Anguo said: "It is recommended that Foreign Minister Zhongshan Taiyi carefully read the "Cairo Declaration" and "Potsdam Proclamation". The Ryukyu Islands and their affiliated islands have been clearly stated in these two proclamations. "Japan's Return of Okinawa Agreement" It was signed privately by the United States and Japan behind China's back, and has never been recognized by the Chinese government. To sum up, not only the Diaoyu Islands, but also the Ryukyu Islands belong to China's territory."

The two people are at each other's throats, and you come and go, arguing endlessly on this issue. In fact, China and Japan have been arguing over the ownership of the Ryukyu Islands and Diaoyu Islands for decades. How can it be resolved by the Japanese Prime Minister's visit to China? !

Takeru Sato coughed, and stopped Taiichi Nakayama who was still about to speak: "Mr. Vice Premier, whether we should discuss this issue with relevant personnel from both sides in the future, isn't your government always advocating shelving disputes and joint development?"

Mu Guoxing smiled and said: "Prime Minister Sato misinterpreted the meaning of our government. The original meaning of this sentence is that the sovereignty belongs to me, put aside disputes and jointly develop. The meaning you just expressed is taken out of context, which is not serious."

Takeru Sato had nothing to say. The speech of the chief designer of China's reform and opening up was announced to the whole world. Every diplomatic document of the China government was clearly written in black and white.

The first day of the talks ended in a quarrel like this, and the two sides did not reach any practical results. The Japanese side did not touch the bottom line of China. This means that the current situation is extremely beneficial to China. Japan is anxious, and China Not in a hurry.

In the evening, Mu Guoxing hosted a banquet for Takeru Sato and his party on behalf of the Chinese government. Although Mu Guoxing was 120 unwilling, but after all, Takeru Sato is still the Prime Minister of Japan, and diplomatic etiquette is still indispensable.

Don't look at Takeru Sato who rarely drinks alcohol, but it doesn't mean he can't drink. Although he also knows that Mu Guoxing drinks a lot through the intelligence department, Takeru Sato has always been arrogant and wants to compete with Mu Guoxing in this respect .

You must know that Moutai, China's national wine, is not as bland as Japanese sake. After drinking a bottle of Moutai, Takeru Sato blushed, and when he drank the second bottle, he couldn't hold it anymore. He blocked it, and Sato Takeru had to make a fool of himself.The Japanese did not do very well in this regard. I think there was a Japanese prime minister who visited China back then, got drunk at a banquet, and made a small international joke.

The talks continued on the second day. Takeru Sato endured yesterday's hangover and put forward several suggestions to Huaxia. The first is to strengthen the friendly cooperation between the two countries, and the two sides will jointly develop the underground resources of the Diaoyu Islands.Second, the sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands has been put on hold temporarily, and the military ships and aircraft of both sides are not allowed to patrol the sky over the Diaoyu Islands.Third, the two sides should jointly shoulder the responsibility for the management of Asian affairs. Fourth, Japan hopes that China will resume the export of rare earths. Fifth, the two sides should strengthen economic cooperation, avoid trade wars, and actively develop bilateral cooperation under the framework of the WTO. trading.

The Chinese side has long expected the five points proposed by the Japanese side. The core content of these five points is the third, jointly shouldering the responsibility for the management of Asian affairs. The power gap left after leaving Asia.

If Japan proposed the condition of joint development of underground resources ten years ago, Huaxia still wished for it, but under the current situation, Japan's condition is no longer attractive, and the issue of sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands cannot be negotiated. A bottom line is Huaxia's core interests.

However, the fifth article proposed by Japan is also in the interests of China, and China has given a very happy answer to this article.In any case, China still needs Japan's advanced technology and Japan's market.

"We think the five proposals put forward by Japan are constructive and positive. However, the Diaoyu Islands and the Ryukyu Islands are China's territory, and sovereignty issues cannot be negotiated. We disagree with your second proposal. Then there is no practical significance to talk about the first one. As for the third one proposed by your country, the Chinese government believes that all countries have the right to formulate development paths according to their own national conditions, and other countries have no right to dictate the internal affairs of sovereign countries. It is a violation of international law. As for the issue of resuming the export of rare earths, as long as Huaxia has not completely resolved environmental protection, it cannot export."

Takeru Sato was disappointed, and came to Huaxia full of confidence. Four of the five opinions he put forward were rejected by Huaxia, and he only agreed to the insignificant fifth. As long as there is no war between the two countries, it must be everyone's hope.

No matter how Sato Takeru explains, Mu Guoxing will not let go. Of course, the Japanese side still insists on their claim of sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands and the Ryukyu Islands. In this regard, both sides have shown unusually tough attitudes. Everyone knows that Once he agrees to the other party's request, he will bear the infamy of a traitor.

When talking about the international situation, Takeru Sato tried his best to touch Huaxia's hole card, and this hole card is whether Huaxia will give up and continue to sell U.S. debt. You know, this matter is of great importance. If Huaxia no longer insists Continuing to sell U.S. debt means that Huaxia is preparing to use this condition to strive for other interests in the negotiations with the United States, and this interest is very likely that Huaxia wants to fill the power vacuum left by the United States alone.

On the last day of Sato Takeru's visit to China, Mu Guoxing and Sato Takeru did not directly participate in the talks. Instead, their subordinates conducted specific economic and trade negotiations in accordance with the consensus reached by the two heads of state.In any case, if there is no progress in politics, we can talk about it later, and business must still be done. This is the political coldness and economic heat that have always existed between China and Japan.
