Putting aside what he was doing, Qi Yiming once again partnered with Foreign Minister Wu Xuejian and took a special plane to Seoul to conduct diplomatic negotiations on this incident.
Although he was one of the members of the delegation, Qi Yiming was not the main member of this negotiation, and Foreign Minister Wu Xuejian was the leader. Qi Yiming mainly serves as a military consultant and a person who comes up with some crooked ideas.
The group of people were on a C919 passenger plane. Wu Xuejian and Qi Yiming were sitting across from each other in the first class cabin. Wu Xuejian was still very friendly and courteous to Qi Yiming, saying: "Xiao Qi, do you think we should go this time?" Can the negotiation be successful?"
Qi Yiming took the tea handed over by the flight attendant next to him, thanked him, and said to Wu Xuejian: "In general, the results can be expected, but the process will be difficult. The neutrality made by the United States the day before The statement actually shows that it does not want to make the matter a big deal, and the Soviet camp will not compete with South Korea, so naturally it will not accept the move. Most Western countries follow the tone of the United States and demand a negotiated settlement. If they want to negotiate, we are here to talk. "The Chun Doo-hwan government listens to the United States, so there won't be any big disturbances. It just depends on how much we have to pay."
Wu Xuejian sighed and said: "I'm afraid that I will lose too much and be criticized for being unfavorable and traitorous to my country when I go back."
Qi Yiming understood what Wu Xuejian was referring to. This time, due to Qi Yiming's influence, the country dealt with the situation a bit too much and did not take face at all. It was very disgraceful to the traditional Chinese civilization values. Moreover, what some soldiers think is that they have clearly shot down many enemy planes and gained military honors, but the relevant personnel still have to deal with it, which really hurts morale.
Before the trip, Qi Yiming also participated in a meeting of the Air Force. He remembered what Wang Hai said, which was very appropriate: "We soldiers are a profession that is endowed with legal killings, which requires us to be careful at all times." Remember our mission - we are fighting to safeguard peace, protect the country and people, and open up development opportunities and interests for the nation. Therefore, instead of treating us as warriors, it is better to regard us as a sword, which must be held tightly at all times. What is in your hand is not a knife that can convulse or chop people by itself.
Yes, military exploits bring us honor. But when your military exploits cannot defend the country, but will harm the country, then it should not be called military exploits at all. Comrade Zha Yongxin is proficient in his work and sincere. However, when the party and the country needed him most, he did not solve our problems, but gave us such a big problem. The country has lost face and must take the initiative to apologize and even apologize. The small amount of foreign exchange needed to be used to compensate the deceased. What has this brought to the country and its people? It's not an honor, it's a burden!
You must always remember that soldiers must resolutely obey instructions and maintain their own discipline. Anyone who wants to break the rules and destroy discipline to bring glory to himself can only accept the punishment of discipline! "
In Qi Yiming¡¯s opinion, this incident can be considered beneficial. First of all, through this incident, every soldier will understand that soldiers are by no means a group that can do whatever they want. No matter how powerful they are, as long as the society still has systems and norms, something will overwhelm the power. One end. If it really makes you happy, the Air Force can completely crush the sticks, but this is not the writing of angry youths. This is the real world, especially since China has not yet reached a position where everyone responds to everything and everyone is afraid, so it will squander itself like this. The credibility and image of the country can only bring trouble to its business, the travel of its people, and the development of its diplomacy and other affairs in the future.
Some people may think that if they are powerful enough, they can ignore the rules or modify them at will. In fact, rules are used to protect themselves. Today, China can trample on the rules and break into other countries' airspace, but in the future, we should not expect others to hesitate in the slightest when they break into their own airspace. Even if Qi Yiming uses the Red Alert Base to dominate the world, he will still have to rely on international laws that are acceptable to everyone to maintain his hegemony. People or countries that do not know how to abide by the rules cannot maintain their status for a long time.
Another benefit to the military is that the originally backward and flawed command system is coming to an end. Several big figures in the Military Commission are urging the Ministry of National Defense and various military units to put together a new set of effective commands. The system enables each combat unit to better become an integral part of the combat power and further eliminates this phenomenon of random command.
Qi Yiming's suggestion is to establish a structured tri-service command and strengthen the command in areas where there may be disputes. In this case, decision-making should be made by an entire theater command instead of an aviation division. The division commander received the interception order, and then the following things took care of themselves.
After taking another sip of tea, Qi Yiming smiled and said to Wu Xuejian: "We are not in a hurry. To put it bluntly, we only have one request: to repatriate the three defectors, and we can carry out the investigation against South Korea."Compensation suffered. Haha, if the stick guys want us to compensate them for the fifteen fighter jets, that's nonsense. Only ghosts will care. They can pay a little compensation for their personnel's pension as appropriate. More importantly, we will try our best to use this opportunity to establish some constructive diplomatic relations with South Korea. "
The diplomatic relations he mentioned are not formal diplomatic relations. The actual establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea was in 1992. At that time, North Korea and South Korea had joined the United Nations at the same time, and the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea was a matter of course. And it is also a means for China to attack the KMT puppet regime in Taiwan. At this time, the conditions for discussing the establishment of formal diplomatic relations with South Korea were not yet met. In fact, the rapid approach between China and South Korea was only slowly reached through contacts at several Asian Games, Olympic Games, and APEC.
And at this time, Qi Yiming believes that establishing closer ties with South Korea, one of the Four Asian Tigers, will not be of much help. The development path that China will take next will inevitably block the four Asian Tigers. A larger market and a more comprehensive industrial system will prevent these countries and regions from enjoying the second golden age of their economic development in history. . Qi Yiming can even say with certainty that there is no need to wait for the 1997 financial turmoil in history. China has its own contribution of a series of technical and policy buffs, and it will be able to make the Four Tigers "poor people" in just ten years.
In fact, this reason is very simple. If China had not developed, who would choose the Four Little Dragons with insufficient market potential, limited resources, and limited scale? China would be like a huge sponge, sucking resources into its own economy. A typical example is that after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, it was obvious that the economy was not as good as before, and it took more than ten years to recover to its previous level. Some ordinary Hong Kong people who are not clear-minded believe that the economic decline caused by the return and a more "evil pro-communist" government has intensified the separatist thinking of some Hong Kong people. But in fact, anyone with an eye for price will know that the mainland's rapid development and economic take-off have squeezed out the development potential of the Four Tigers countries and regions, including Hong Kong. Hong Kong will no longer be able to obtain the kind of external monopoly privileges that the mainland had during the closed period. , Secondly, it is no longer able to attract hot capital into development as it was in the past.
Since then, Hong Kong¡¯s positioning has gradually become a purely financial ¡°RMB offshore financial center¡± plus a duty-free shopping paradise for mainlanders. Because of the small space and the large number of mainlanders, geographical conflicts arose, which further exacerbated the subsequent land-port conflicts.
?????????In fact, these small places can just put up a sign and develop their own characteristic economy. If they always find fault with others in a condescending manner, it can only be said that they are too busy. Taking Macau as an example, the positioning of this place is very clear. Open casinos, engage in the gaming industry, and let mainlanders gamble there. After the 21st century, the per capita income will exceed 50,000 US dollars. The government will have too much fiscal revenue and will have to pay the citizens every year.
South Korea is also an economy that emerged after the 3C revolution. Its strong industries are electronics, shipbuilding, automobiles and other industries. Looking at the development situation after the 10s, although Samsung, Daewoo, Hyundai and other companies are not small, they have little room for development. China¡¯s The company directly threatens them with just a few clicks. The meaning of economies of scale in economics is not limited to one industry. In fact, it is enlarged to the national level. The more complete the industrial system, the more complete the technical capabilities, the more labor force, and the more talents, the more terrifying competitiveness can be formed.
Qi Yiming is very optimistic that since 1985, the country has entered the track of rapid development, and it will not even take until the 21st century for the country to show its terrible fangs. Ten years will be enough to shock the world.
From this point of view, it is not particularly meaningful to fight against South Korea. China now has no shortage of technology, talent, and resources to a certain extent. What it lacks most is money.
Regarding this negotiation, Qi Yiming took a relatively dull view. Although it was a matter of pretending to be a grandson, the world is like this. If you want to be an uncle, you must be able to pretend to be a grandson. Back then, Americans also pretended to be grandsons for many years before finally finally Become an uncle. What's more, he won't look like a grandson this time.
Qi Yiming¡¯s hands and feet are naturally not that simple.
As an important partner of Qi Yiming, Jacqueline used the influence of the Morgan consortium to begin to exaggerate public opinion in favor of China after receiving Qi Yiming's commission. As a result, articles such as "Strong, humble and polite China is willing to take responsibility for sad accidents", "Practitioner of international order: recording the transformation of China's diplomatic spirit", "Turn tragedy into comedy, China and South Korea" appeared in major newspapers Reports that intend to use unexpected events to enhance relationships" and so on.
So gradually, people who were originally angry began to think that this matter was nothing more than an accident. Some people might laugh at China's poor system, some soldiers would defect by plane, or the commander would make such a stupid mistake. etc. However, no one thought that this air conflict would eventually turn into a war.
