Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 1280 Nanyang is going to overturn the table (first update, please subscribe)
Over the vast Pacific Ocean, the sky is clear, and between a few floating clouds, a C707-30 passenger plane is soaring over the ocean.

The C707-30 is the intercontinental model in its series of aircraft. By redesigning the wings and improving the tail design, while reducing drag, it also replaced the engine with a more fuel-efficient one. A series of design improvements also improved the range, making it the world's first intercontinental passenger aircraft that can operate routes from Chang'an to North America.

Of course, it is also Nanyang’s “Air Force One”.

In the cabin, Li Yi sat there, quietly reading the report. This trip to North America was not just to visit the United States, but also to attend the United Nations General Assembly.

Li Yian has complicated feelings towards the United Nations. While knowing that it is nothing more than a "waste paper making machine" and a "shelter for gangsters", he also longs to become a "permanent member of the UN Security Council."

"Why are there only five permanent members? Why can't there be six?"

Li Yian couldn't help but complain.

"Sir, maybe it's for the convenience of voting. With five countries, voting can make a difference."

Li Guoren's explanation made Li Yian roll his eyes and say:

"Do you believe it?"

"Uh... it's just a lie!"

Li Guoren laughed and then explained seriously.

"The earliest origin of the permanent members of the UN Security Council is the concept of the "four major policemen". In order to prevent the aggressor country from launching a new war again, the major powers must play the role of international police to maintain world peace and security after the war. This international police role is the core of the new international organization.

During World War II, the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom formed an anti-fascist alliance to fight against the Axis powers. Roosevelt therefore proposed the establishment of an international peace organization with the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and China as the core.

After the war, the four major countries became founding members of the United Nations and played an important role in international affairs.

However, due to its own political considerations, when Britain failed to exclude Tangshan, Churchill proposed to bring France into the group of great powers in order to counter the United States, thus turning the "four policemen" into "five policemen."

"It was not only Fatty Qiu who rejected Tangshan, but also the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union's opposition was even more resolute than that of Britain. I won't mention these."

Li Yian waved his hand and stopped talking about these old things and said:
"Anyway, relying on political speculation, Britain pulled France in. If even France can become one of the five permanent members, why can't Southeast Asia?"

"Yeah, why not Nanyang?"

Li Guoren asked back:

"But the permanent seats are determined based on the UN Charter. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to get in!"

How could it not be difficult!
In another world, Germany, Japan, Brazil and India are all actively seeking opportunities to become permanent members of the UN Security Council, but it is of no avail. The major powers are in tacit agreement on this issue: what the United States agrees with, Russia and East Timor oppose; what East Timor and Russia support, the United States opposes; what Britain and France support, the other three countries all tacitly oppose.

"Let's put aside the Charter and talk about the major powers. Without the consent of the five major powers, we simply cannot become a permanent member of the UN Security Council. But is it possible for these five major powers to reach a consensus? Even if the four major powers agree, the Soviet Union will definitely not agree. It is already very dissatisfied with only having a seat, so how could it possibly add another seat and make things difficult for itself?"

Li Guoren nodded in agreement:

"Yes, sir, the reason why Britain pulled in France was to hook up with France and increase its own voting rights, and the reason why the United States pulled in Tangshan was to gain an ally and increase his voting rights."

“This is politics!”

After closing the report and placing it on the table, Li Yian said:

"Therefore, it is almost impossible for us to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council within the current framework. We can even say that... it is simply a pipe dream! Even if the United States or the United Kingdom expresses support for us to become a permanent member, it is just like pointing a rabbit for us to chase!"

In another world, for Japan and India, which are the most enthusiastic about becoming the permanent members of the UN Security Council, the United States and Russia are just pointing a rabbit at them and asking them to chase after it, but they are still happily chasing after it.

Because that's their only option.

"Sir, what should we do then?"

Li Guoren said directly:
"Nanyang must have an international status that matches its national strength. Even if we don't fight for it now, our descendants will fight for it in the future. But if we can do it, why leave the problem to future generations?"

This is Nanyang - don’t leave problems to future generations, contemporary people solve contemporary problems instead of leaving problems to future generations.

Li Yian nodded and said:

"Yes, if we don't solve it, it will be more difficult for our descendants to solve it in the future. The wisdom of future generations should be used to solve the problems they face. The problems they face may be more complicated. We... let's solve the problems in front of us first."

After a brief pause, Li Yian said:
"Since the problem cannot be solved within the framework of the United Nations, then we should leave the United Nations!"

"Out of the United Nations? Your Excellency, what do you mean?"

As Li Guoren was surprised, he saw His Excellency tapping the report with his fingers, and then heard His Excellency say:
"Since the Charter is unreasonable, overturn it!"

Overthrow the UN Charter!
My goodness!

In an instant, not to mention Li Guoren, even the accompanying personnel were all shocked and opened their mouths wide, with disbelief in their eyes!

That’s the UN Charter!
Compared to the surprise of others, Song Deqing, who once threw the Charter into the trash can at the United Nations General Assembly, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Southeast Asia, laughed:
"That's right, since it is unreasonable, just overthrow it! What's the big deal? It's just the UN Charter." Yes, what's the big deal!
It's just words written on paper. Last year, the plane of the UN Secretary-General was shot down in Congo, and the Secretary-General was killed. Then what?

It's nothing, this is reality!

After all, this world always conducts dialogue based on strength.

For Nanyang, all it needs is an opportunity to have a dialogue of strength!

"Overthrow it...all it takes is an excuse!"

After saying this, Li Yian looked out the window. At this moment, he seemed extremely calm, but his gaze as he stared out the window was filled with ambition that was difficult to conceal.

The five big gangsters are having a meal together and cooking their own meals. But they didn’t bring me, Nanyang, along. Aren’t they afraid that Nanyang will turn the table?
……

In September, after Li Yian arrived in the United States, he first met some old friends in Washington, including, of course, the Kennedy brothers. Now they are all old friends.

Even if I have some creative ideas next year, that will be next year's matter.

However, the White House is changing, but Congress is permanent. Compared with the president, Li Yian prefers to meet with old friends in both houses. There are also some new friends among them. Of course, they all have development potential.

I met a lot of old and new friends, the only regret was that I didn't meet Carter. Although this guy only served one term as President of the United States, he was known as the "American Emperor" who "dedicated his life to peace and never started a war."

It is not important for Nanyang whether they are kind or not, what is important is to make new friends. Although it is a bit regrettable, there will be many opportunities in the future.

Just like that, after spending a few days in Washington with new and old friends, Li Yian went to New York, not to meet politicians, but to meet his grandson.

Two years ago, Jason and Anne Mellon, also known as Vivian, became lovers after they "ran away from home" to Southeast Asia. When young people are together, there are always times when they can't control themselves. Last year, after they went on vacation to Europe, a little accident happened.

The surprise is...Annie is pregnant.

This was naturally a big event for the Mellon family, so they got married at the beginning of the year - Jason was only sixteen years old and Anne was only seventeen.

Ok!

Although it is a bit early, it is in compliance with the law.

"I didn't stay in New York for long this time."

While speaking, Li Yian looked at the baby in Peggy's arms, "This is my grandson!"

This is really amazing!

I'm only forty years old!

In another world, he might not even be a father at the age of 40!
Now, he has been directly promoted to the grandfather generation.

Peggy, who was holding the baby, saw this and asked,
"After the General Assembly meeting, you're leaving, right?"

"This UN General Assembly meeting is not just a meeting. It may lead to many unexpected things. Therefore, I will return to Chang'an as soon as the meeting is over."

Li Yian glanced at the baby boy in Peggy's arms and said apologetically,

"Originally, I could have stayed here for two more days, but things changed."

"If that's the case, you should go back. After all, things over there are more important."

Peggy spoke with understanding, saying:

"Don't worry about the children. Jason has always been a very independent man. He is now studying at university and managing the company at the same time. As for Annie, she is also a very smart girl. They can take care of themselves."

Nodding, Li Yian felt guilty towards Peggy and Grace. They lived alone in New York. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hold them in his arms and said softly:

"Next year, maybe, next year we will be able to build a supersonic passenger plane. By then, you, Grace, and the children can come to Nanyang for the weekend at any time."

It’s just an idea, but who knows?

"Hopefully!"

Resting her head on Li Yian's shoulder, Peggy said:

"I just feel that time is running out. I really hope that Jason can graduate from college soon and take over the company earlier. Then I can go to Chang'an and we can live together..."

Holding the woman in his arms, Li Yian nodded silently. The days of living apart were really too difficult.

No matter what, supersonic aircraft must be arranged as soon as possible!
