Chapter 1044 I will bear the infamy (Second update, please subscribe)
How will the situation develop?

No one knows, but the situation remains very tense.

This was, after all, a contest between two nuclear powers, and just as the two countries were confronting each other, the Olympic Games began in Melbourne on November 11.

However, this Olympic Games was destined to be turbulent from the very beginning.

"The Soviet delegation protested to the International Olympic Committee against the Hungarian delegation's use of a flag without the national emblem, calling it a symbol of the politicization of the Olympics..."

While the news was being reported on TV, Yang Meng, holding her son in her arms, watched the news and said to herself:
"The Russians are really nosy. They even have the right to dictate what flag the Hungarians use!"

Taylor on the side said.

"Because it used to be their puppet state, that's why they have such wide purview."

Taylor said, looking forward to it.

"I'm a little curious about what it would be like if the Soviets and Hungarians met on the field! Amen..."

When she turned her head, she saw Yang Meng teasing her son's chin, smiling happily.

For her, who had just become a mother, she looked completely content with having a son. In fact, she had not thought that she would continue with that guy, after all, he had too many lovers. But she never expected to get pregnant unexpectedly.

At first, she wanted to keep it a secret, but some things just can't be hidden. First, her parents found out, and before she could explain herself, she ran away from home again. Later, she was discovered by Taylor again.

Everything that happened next was a natural progression. Yang Meng moved into the official residence, and of course her father no longer mentioned blind dates or anything like that.

Now Yang Meng seemed to have only the child in her eyes. She grabbed her son's little hand and said.

"Yi Yang, you have to grow up quickly and become a scientist like your father in the future."

Taylor frowned when Yang Meng mentioned Li Yian. That guy hadn't been here for more than 20 days. Watching the news about Hungary on TV, her heart sank and her brows furrowed.

"Will there really be a war over Hungary?"

Watching the scene on the screen where the Hungarian Olympic delegation entered the main stadium holding a flag with a hole in it, Taylor's expression became more and more solemn.

Listening to Ah Meng's laughter while talking and laughing with the child beside her, she couldn't help but clench her fists, her expression became more and more serious, and her beautiful purple eyes were filled with worry.

At the same time, in the study of the official residence, Li Yian was receiving a guest, who was none other than the Russian ambassador to Southeast Asia, Fedorenko. Unlike the last time he submitted a diplomatic note, this time, Fedorenko seemed very cautious.

"Your Excellency, Comrade Khrushchev is deeply concerned about the current misunderstanding between our two countries. He believes that the current priority is to resolve the misunderstanding between the Soviet Union and Southeast Asia, rather than further intensify the confrontation!"

When conveying Khrushchev's meaning, Fedorenko even carefully considered every word, as he did not want any misunderstanding to occur again.

Misunderstanding, was it a misunderstanding last time?
If so, it was Nanyang's intention.

Nanyang is deliberately intensifying the conflict and escalating the confrontation!

As a diplomat, Fedorenko has recently been studying Southeast Asian diplomacy. He found that toughness has always been the basic strategy of this country, and it seems that they don't know how to compromise at all.

But do they really not know anything?

Fedorenko was deeply skeptical about this. Through the two confrontations between Nanyang and the Soviet Union, he even had a feeling that toughness might just be an illusion given by Nanyang!

They are just trying to take advantage of the situation by being tough.

The only question is... do you dare to bet?
"It is not that Nanyang is escalating the confrontation, but that you have upset the balance. On the issue of Hungary, we had no say at the beginning, just as you had no say on the issue of Egypt, just as you acknowledged in your letter to the British Prime Minister that Britain has special interests in Egypt."

Looking at Fedorenko, Li Yian asked back.

"Since Britain's special interests are recognized, why should the Soviet Union intervene in the Suez Canal?"

"This is based on basic justice,"

Fedorenko said.

"Like the United States, we believe that any country has the right to decide its own affairs, and it is Egypt's right to take back the canal."

With a slight smile on his lips, Li Yian asked back.

"What about Hungary? They chose to withdraw from the Warsaw Pact. Isn't that their right?"

The boomerang came so fast that Fedorenko could hardly catch it and could only mutter.

"The Soviet Union liberated Hungary and has a responsibility to the Hungarian people."

"Now they are going to drive you out!" Li Yian said:
"It is also their right and their choice."

"Your Excellency, you should understand that if we continue to confront each other on this issue, the consequences will be very serious,"

After a pause, Fedorenko said:

"Comrade Khrushchev has a handwritten letter for me to pass on to you. He asked me to tell you that World War II has just ended for ten years. There is no reason for mankind to fight another war!"

After taking Khrushchev's letter from Fedorenko, Li Yian looked solemn. He looked at the letter, then looked at the ambassador in front of him, and said.

"In the beginning, it was the Soviet Union that threatened war! Sometimes, responding to war with war, responding to threats with threats, is a perfectly normal choice."

Looking at the letter in his hand, Li Yian understood that Khrushchev was beginning to plan to make concessions.

……

When putting down the letter, Li Yian's expression became more and more solemn. He supported his chin with both hands, stared at the letter in thought, and then motioned Li Guoren, Yu Xiangdong and others to pass the letter around. After reading the letter, their expressions became solemn, just like his.

After a long time, Li Guoren spoke.

"Sir, it seems that the difficulties Khrushchev faces are much greater than we imagined."

“Hardline!”

Li Yian lit up his cigar, took a puff, and said slowly,

"Now Khrushchev also wants to end the confrontation with us and resolve the issues in Egypt and Hungary through negotiations, but he needs something to explain to the hardliners at home."

Li Yian, with a cigar in his mouth, thought for a while and then said.

"Well, next month, I will go to Sweden to accept the Nobel Prize. I want to stop by Moscow on my way to Stockholm. Since Khrushchev needs a step, is there a better step than me going to Moscow in person?"

"Your Excellency, to Moscow!"

Li Guoren was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said,
Li Yian said again.

"Besides, I also want to take a look at the mountains and rivers of my homeland, even if it's just from the air..."

When saying this, Li Yian's expression was filled with a certain longing, as if he understood the words in Yu Guangzhong's "Homesickness": "I am here, my hometown is over there." He really longed to see the mountains and rivers there!
However, sometimes, reality is so strange. Due to differences in positions, since the bombing of Indonesia, the relationship between Nanyang, which "completely became a pawn of imperialist invaders", and Dongda has been in a subtle tension. Now the two sides have some trade exchanges through Hong Kong Island, and there is nothing else. Even the postal service has stopped for some reasons.

Not only that, Nanyang has often become the target of criticism in its newspapers and radio. This is not surprising, because Nanyang is now the "vanguard of imperialist invaders."

From colluding with the Dutch colonists, bombing Bandung, attempting to undo the failure of the Dutch colonists, to colluding with the Netherlands to annex Indonesian territory.

From colluding with British colonists in Malaya to suppressing local people's uprisings, to brazenly invading Siam and supporting the restoration of the Thai king.

Now they have colluded with the British and French invaders to launch a brutal invasion of Egypt. They are even intervening in Hungary...

In short, when it comes to heinous crimes, Nanyang can definitely be called the number one in the world. Even the United States is not as jumpy as Nanyang, committing so many "crimes" in the world.

To be honest, if Li Yian were to take a fair stand, he would have criticized himself. At a time when the whole world was making progress, he was taking a big step backwards, helping Britain maintain its colonial rule and wanting to make friends with tyrants.

If other countries were to do such things, Li Yian would certainly criticize them.

But what Nanyang is doing now...well, it's for the benefit of Nanyang!

I will take the blame and let the people enjoy the life!

Li Yian accepted the infamy!
Looking at the Excellency who was silently looking into the distance, Li Guoren, who understood what was in his mind, said:

"Sir, I will have someone take care of this matter. There is one more thing."

Li Yian nodded slightly and did not speak. Li Guoren continued:

"Our consulate in Hong Kong sent a secret message saying that Hong Kong has decided to close the border again and the consulate's coordination has failed."

Hearing this, Li Yian frowned and said.

"What's going on? Closing the border... Guoren, you must go to Hong Kong Island immediately and talk to Grantham in person as a special envoy. You must stop him from closing the border!"

Li Yian frowned, put his hands on the table, thought for a while, and added.

"That is the last window. With that window, Malaya, Mindanao and Surabaya can continue to replenish their population. This matter is related to our strategic interests in Southeast Asia. We must stop him. In addition, tell him that if he insists on having his own way, we will ask London to intervene!"
