Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lai Zhenping is a spy at the Red Alert Base. He has only been in this world for seven or eight weeks, but this wise guy is always able to do some amazing things.  The spies mass-produced by the base are all directional. It is impossible for commercial spies to perform military-related tasks, and network agents cannot understand the political process. However, this also makes each spy have amazing talents and abilities in their respective fields.

    The talents of these spies in their respective fields were so dazzling that Qi Yiming later was reluctant to let these spies do intelligence work. Instead, he arranged for them to enter positions that could better utilize their talents. At the same time, he began to train a large number of his own intelligence personnel.  With some outstanding red police agents as the backbone, the Information Investigation Department (Information Investigation Department) handled by Ye Yaozi also looked like a super intelligence agency.

    Lai Zhenping has not done any real intelligence work for a day since he was produced. He is a relatively rare high-level comprehensive spy, and he is also a "lucky one" who has a very small chance of being born during the mass production process. There are several such spies.  Talents in different fields are combined in one person. For example, Lai Zhenping is an all-nighter in economics and commerce, political operations, and a small number of military operations that extend from politics. Unfortunately, this spy has very poor skills and even has congenital asthma. Qi Yiming cannot understand it at all.  What the base thinks.

    Qi Yiming also believes that he has no use for spies like 6Ef. He has 10,000 ways to avoid going into such thrilling, hot and obstructive scenes. The place where a being like Bond is most suitable.  Only in movies.

    Relying on the outstandingly talented Lai Zhenping, Qi Yiming appointed him as a senior member of the Strategic Security Bureau, even with department-level treatment.  Although the name of the Strategy Bureau is a bureau, it is actually beyond the normal departmental level. Because funds do not need to be approved by the state, and personnel remuneration does not require national pavilions, so the # position is completely the same as the big or small.  Naturally, Qi Yiming did not dare to randomly appoint an official at the provincial or ministerial level. He positioned the Strategy Bureau as a provincial and ministerial-level unit, which meant that he himself was the minister and could not appoint anyone as big as himself.

    ???????????????? There are only a few department heads in the entire Strategy Bureau at the bureau level, including senior staff member Mo Xiantong, director of the Information Mediation Department Ye Yaozi (who he blackmailed), and then there is Lai Zhenping.  As for characters like Yuri, they will naturally not appear on the roster.

    Lai Zhenping arrived in Islamabad by plane this time with his colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Commerce and other ministries to visit friendly country Pakistan, and he also carried an important task assigned to him by Qi Yiming.  One of the managers of Shenghua Company, Zhao Jinsong, who travels abroad all year round, also specially accompanied the delegation to assist Lai Zhenping in his work.

    During the Malayan Overseas Chinese War, Pakistan was somewhat dissatisfied with China because of religious relations, but it was not too obvious. After Southeast Asia was in chaos, Pakistan and other countries also understood that it was not a matter for them to intervene at all.  However, some Islamic countries still feel a little confused about the fact that China has harmed two Islamic countries.

    China knows how difficult it is to cultivate a trustworthy friend, and Pakistan's strategic value to China cannot be ignored. Coupled with this incident, China-Pakistan relations will inevitably need to be repaired.

    For China, a powerful neighbor that once helped it resist India and contributed a lot in economic construction, especially military assistance, Pakistan has begun to look at India with disdain in recent years.  But on the other hand, China has become more and more domineering as it becomes stronger, and has repeatedly sent troops to fight with its neighbors. Pakistan is worried that one day China will turn its back on China and ignore others.

    Despite this, the large-scale Chinese delegation came to Islamabad and received a grand welcome.  Official matters were left to the leaders of the official ministries and commissions. Lai Zhenping did not make an official appearance, but instead led Zhao Jinsong to hold a secret closed-door meeting with officials in Islamabad.

    "What, you want Gwadar Port? This is impossible, we just bought it back from Oman in 1966," Pakistani official Farooq exclaimed. If it weren't for the traditional friendship between China and Pakistan, he would definitely be cursing.

    Lai Zhenping smiled slightly and explained: "There is a deviation in your understanding. Gwadar Port is Pakistan's sovereign territory and an inalienable part. Our country has no intention of coveting the territory of its all-weather strategic partner. Well, let me explain it again. You stated once that we hope that Pakistan will open up my country to help you develop this important port in Balochistan. We will provide relevant funds and technology, and Pakistan will provide manpower and policies. After completion, my country hopes to obtain 2 years of port operation. At the same time, we hope to obtain the right to use the port area, um, especially the ability to provide supply and maintenance for our navy¡¯s activities in this area.¡±

    Farooq and a group of Pakistani officials stared at each other. With just a few words, the amount of information was too much for them to accept.  Pakistan is located on the west coast of the Indian subcontinent, with a relatively short coastline and few ports. The largest port, Karachi, is too close to the India-Pakistan border, so people feel unsafe.  So sinceSince Pakistan bought Gwadar back from Oman, it has always hoped to develop this port. On the one hand, it will revitalize the separatist western economy, and on the other hand, it will provide Pakistan with more strategic sea ports.

    But as a less developed country, Pakistan lacks sufficient funds and technology to complete this task. It has always hoped to use the power of other countries to complete this task, but has repeatedly hit a wall.  In the 1980s, the Soviet Union wanted Gwadar most. If this road was opened from Central Asia through Afghanistan and Pakistan, and out of Gwadar to the Indian Ocean, it would be equivalent to revitalizing a major geostrategy of the Soviet Union.  But as India's traditional ally, the Soviet Union could not get any advantage from Pakistan.

    China in the original plane is naturally short of money and capabilities, so Pakistan cannot turn to China for help. If it seeks help from Western countries such as the United States, the price will be too high. If it agrees, it will be almost traitorous.  In another timeline, it was not until the 21st century that Pakistan built this place through China.

    Zhao Jinsong also did a lot of homework when he came. He talked eloquently: "Karachi, as the largest port in your country, has caused a lot of inconveniences because it is close to India. Moreover, the imbalance of regional economic development in your country has also caused Balochistan An important factor that has a tendency to separate. Our country has invested in the technology to develop Gwadar Port and is willing to train some technical personnel for your country. At the same time, it will recruit at least 26 local workers to assist us in the construction, which will ultimately promote the construction of the largest deep-water port in the west of your country. Construction. I believe that your country has cooperated more with my country, and we understand that cooperation with the Chinese is definitely the most profitable choice on the planet. We will not be as domineering and greedy as Western companies. Let friends also benefit and help them grow and grow. Haha, this is the difference between Eastern and Western philosophy and culture. "

    Some Pakistani officials nodded. It is indeed more reliable to work with the Chinese. They rarely suffer losses, unlike Western countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States. They will feel uncomfortable if they don't cheat you a few times.

    Farooq is a real economic official and very knowledgeable. He said with some concern: "The construction of Gwadar Port is indeed very beneficial to our country, but apart from providing a berth for your country's navy, I don't see much that is helpful to your country.  , and is your navy really going to enter the Indian Ocean now? In addition, even if Gwadar is built, our economy will probably not take advantage of it. If we spend hundreds of millions of dollars investing in developing this area, we will end up with nothing.  return, it may have an impact on the relations between the two countries."

    Lai Zhenping smiled slightly and was not afraid to tell the Pakistanis, "Our country's economy has developed too rapidly. In just three years, the total economic volume has tripled, and this speed has no tendency to slow down. This has resulted in my country's energy imports. Dependence. In addition to the route through the South China Sea through the Strait of Malacca, we hope to have a pipeline in the west that can supply energy to the mainland. Secondly, our country also has a revitalization plan for the western region, a railway across the continent, connecting Xinjiang to Pakistan. It will help drive the economy along the line, develop trade and promote exchanges. If this railway exists, then Gwadar's future will definitely be more than just prosperity."

    Farooq and others are very bright-eyed. If they can connect with the western part of China, the benefits to Pakistan¡¯s economic development will be self-evident.  Pakistan has many minerals and resources, but lacks pipelines to utilize them. With the help of railways, China's goods and products can be exported directly from here to the Indian Ocean. Pakistani goods can also go south to the sea and north to China.

    Such a huge project is beyond the imagination of Faruk and his colleagues, and even for China in this era, it is somewhat beyond its capabilities.  Fortunately, Qi Yiming, a wealthy man, does not need to ask the country to pay. The base rewards and the money he earns will always be spent.  And the sooner Pakistan is completely tied to China's chariot, the more beneficial it will be to the development of the Indian Ocean and Middle East strategies.

    Maintaining a good relationship is nothing more than four words: amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness, which means establishing relationships, communicating honestly, reciprocity and mutual tolerance, and mutual tolerance.  This is the main diplomatic axis of the 1966 era. It is the philosophical crystallization of thousands of years of Chinese civilization. It is not a problem to use it in advance.  Pakistan is not rich and has foreign enemies. It pulls this little brother to make money, improve their domestic economic situation, and then supports them to fight against India. At the same time, it also protects India, a restless and stupid neighbor who does not know how much he weighs.  .

    In Qi Yiming's thinking, connecting to Pakistan is also very beneficial to his own development of the western region.  The great elder¡¯s call to get rich first to drive wealth later is actually more reassuring than practical, causing unbalanced development and excessive regional disparity in future generations. Now that he has the ability, Qi Yiming doesn¡¯t want to have some order of getting rich first and then getting richer. The west should also follow  As the east becomes richer, the west with better conditions will become more stable, and the separatist sentiments of the ethnic minorities who enjoy the reform and economic dividends will naturally not be so strong.
