Chapter 725: It’s not easy to be the boss of Dongyue (Third update, please subscribe)
At the same time as Vyshinsky visited India, a Soviet-Russian passenger ship sailed into Chang'an Port.

The passengers of this passenger ship were mainly composed of the Alexander Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe. Because of the large number of people, they took the passenger ship to Nanyang, although on the surface it was a pure "art performance".

But in fact, everyone knows that this is an artistic offensive, a warm-up for Vyshinsky's visit.

When the passenger ship docked, officials organized a welcome ceremony.

Unlike the Bolshoi Ballet with a long history, the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe, founded in 1928, does not have a profound history, but it has an extremely profound background - it is a Soviet military song and dance troupe.

Before visiting Nanyang, the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe had never performed in a Western country. After all, the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe has military status, and at most it has performed in Germany and Eastern European countries.

The last time the West had access to him was in Berlin - to celebrate the anniversary of the Allied defeat of Germany. That friendly atmosphere had disappeared with the "Berlin Crisis".

The Eastern and Western worlds are now in a period of confrontation, and the war on the peninsula is at the forefront of the confrontation. Under such circumstances, the visit of the Soviet military song and dance troupe to Nanyang naturally attracted the attention of the outside world.

People are even speculating on the Soviet Union's thoughts. After all, this time is too sensitive right now. However, Nanyang officials still very much welcome the arrival of the top Soviet Russian song and dance troupe.

In addition to the official greeting personnel on the dock, there were also many reporters, including reporters from European and American countries stationed in Chang'an. I don't know how many of them wanted to see the top Soviet Russian song and dance troupe.

When the passenger ship docked, the first person to walk out of the cabin was Major General Boris Alexandrov, the leader of the song and dance troupe. Behind him were the members of the song and dance troupe. Without exception, they were all wearing military uniforms, and they were still in that shape. A carefully customized military uniform.

"These Russians wish the whole world could see their majestic side..."

As the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the corners of Zhang Yaozong's mouth twitched, feeling a little unhappy with this behavior of the Russians.

"Maybe it's because they are all soldiers and are used to wearing military uniforms!"

Liang Han, the cultural specialist on the side, said with a smile.

"Who knows? Maybe it's a demonstration, to support their little brothers."

The reason why I say this is because in the eyes of mainstream public opinion, the reason why Soviet Russia sent a song and dance troupe with military background to visit Nanyang was not for cultural and artistic exchanges.

The so-called cultural and artistic exchanges are just a cover-up. In the final analysis, they are still to support the little Russian brothers in Bangkok and Jakarta.

After all, as friends of Moscow, these children are too far away from Moscow, and as we all know, the Russians do not have many warships.

Therefore, they chose another way to send a signal-Moscow has been paying attention to Nanyang.

"Hmm, Shiwei? What are they going to use? Are they going to blow with their mouths?"

Taking a look at the tall group leader, Zhang Yaozong said again.

"Do you know why he is a major general?"

"why?"

"Because of his father!"

"His father?"

"He is the son of the previous regimental commander Alexander Alexandrov. After taking over the position of regimental commander and artistic director four years ago, he was promoted to major general!"

"Is this okay?"

Liang Han opened his eyes in surprise and said.

"That's Soviet Russia!"

The reason why he was so surprised was that it was absolutely beyond his imagination. How could such a thing happen in a country like Soviet Russia?
"That's Soviet Russia!"

What they didn't know was that in the following decades, the general who inherited his father's legacy continued to hold this position until... his death.

Well, for the next few decades, this kind of thing was almost normal in Soviet Russia. There is even a joke that the son of a colonel can never become a general - because the general has a son.

At this time, the general who inherited his father's legacy had already walked down the gangway. Under the flash of spotlights, the reception staff immediately stepped forward to shake hands one by one to express welcome.

But even shaking hands is not easy, because according to information provided by the Soviet Embassy, ​​those who came to Nanyang this time include officials from the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture, as well as members of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe and the Bolshoi Ballet, men and women. Altogether, there were three hundred and twenty-three people.

My hands feel sore when I hold them one by one.

Fortunately, many of them are female members. For young Zhang Yaozong and Liang Han, it may be hard to shake hands, but it is also a rare treat to appreciate the appearance of the female members of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe up close. These people cannot All of them are stunning, but each of them is tall and has red lips and white teeth. Especially the female members wearing military uniforms are even more attractive. No, it should be because of the charm. Men are like that.

This is a friendly art visit, symbolizing the friendship between South and Soviet Union.

Nanyang has never been an art desert. Except for Peking Opera, which has little audience due to geographical and other reasons, local operas in Nanyang have audiences of varying degrees and have developed to varying degrees. For the large number of European immigrants, it is easier for them to appreciate Western music and dance.

The arrival of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe was naturally welcomed by them, even if these people were once their enemies.

The first performance of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe will be at the Wang Opera House in Chang'an. Although this opera house has just been built two years ago, in the past two years, many internationally renowned artists have come to perform here. Performance, as a newly built opera house, it is not only magnificently decorated, but also carefully designed in terms of sound effects and other aspects. Listening to music here is a pleasure.

On February 16th, the outside of the Royal Opera House was already bustling with people. Audiences from all over the place were all dressed in formal attire and lined up to enter the theater. The opera house, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people, was soon filled with people. The seats were packed.

In addition to ordinary people, in order to attach great importance to this cultural exchange, not only officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and some related departments attended, but even Li Yian also attended the first overseas performance of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe.

However, their interest did not seem to be in the performance of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe. What Li Yi'an and Li Guoren were talking about in the box had nothing to do with the performance at all. The issues they discussed were still related to the current situation in Southeast Asia.

"Your Excellency, when I was chatting with the US Ambassador at the Spring Festival banquet of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs last week, he made a suggestion, hoping that we can take the lead in establishing a collective treaty organization, um, almost similar to NATO."

While listening to the chorus, Li Guoren turned to report this matter.

“How do we respond?”

"What is the attitude of the Americans? Do they want us to take the lead in establishing it? Is it a real leader, or is it just a decoration? This is very important."

Looking away from the stage, Li Yian said,
"While visiting the United States, Truman also advocated the establishment of another North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Asia. Through this treaty organization, the armies of each member country will be coordinated to achieve the purpose of collective defense. However, in principle, the United States will still be the main one. If we take the lead in establishing If this organization is led by the United States, it will be difficult for us to continue to implement some of our vague policies. "

Many things have changed too much now, especially the changes in Siam, which have made the United States see the danger that Southeast Asia may be controlled by Soviet Russia. Under this situation, the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization was released in advance, and with another The difference in the world is that the United States wants Nanyang to play a role.

But this role is not easy to play - setting up any organization costs money!
In another world, the United States, Britain, Australia and France represented Western countries in the Eastern Treaty Organization. As members of the organization, they provided billions of dollars in military support to the Eastern Treaty Organization in the following two decades. assistance.

Because of this, in the Organization of Southeast Asian Treaty Countries, the real boss has always been the United States.

For Nanyang, being the leader of this organization is obviously not worth the gain. Not just because the boss is largely a figurehead. More importantly, he knows how unreliable the so-called "Eastern Treaty Organization" is. Does it rely on the Philippines, Pakistan, Myanmar, South Vietnam and the like to protect the security of Southeast Asia?

Compared to getting the false reputation of a so-called boss. In fact, they are trying to create hatred for the United States. It is better to make soy sauce in this organization. Anyway, this organization itself is there to make soy sauce.

"For now, the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, or no matter how it is organized, cannot escape the control of the United States. Under such circumstances, taking the lead in Nanyang will only arouse conflicts between us and some countries, which is obviously not conducive to our efforts to ease our relationship with them. relation."

Turning his gaze towards the stage, Li Yian continued.

"And the establishment of the "Eastern Treaty Organization" with us as the main body will force us to move from behind the scenes to the front of the confrontation. This means that many vague policies cannot continue to be implemented. Therefore, it is better to let the Americans out. As an atmosphere group, we Just cooperate.”

There are some things that should never be out of the limelight. This is a matter of principle. After all, the environment faced by Nanyang is very dangerous. If someone plays the anti-colonial card in Southeast Asia, they may also hit Nanyang.

Therefore, it is best to stay humble and developed for now. It wouldn't be a bad idea to wait until the muscles on the body are really full in the future to win over some countries and create a small circle of one's own.

But I still can’t stand up for the Americans right now.

After thinking about it, Li Yian added.

"Have a good talk with them. The Americans themselves don't want to do this kind of thing at the hands of others."

The United States has always been very active in establishing international organizations. Since I am so beautiful and like to be in the limelight, why should I compete with him for this limelight?
At this time, the performance of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe was still going on on the stage, and the audience was immersed in their exciting performance. Occasionally, Li Yian would look at another box. Not only Heidi, Ava, Hepburn and Elizabeth are here, and Anna is also there. I wonder how she will feel when she sees these compatriots from her motherland.

Of course, like all men. Li Yian will also set his sights on those graceful female members of the Red Flag Song and Dance Ensemble. It must be said that these Russian girls wearing beautiful military uniforms bring a different kind of temptation when they stop there. The temptation of this kind of uniform is often the most seductive. Human ones are also the most irresistible.

"No wonder they all like this bite."

Looking at those long, snow-white legs, Li Yian couldn't help but have some thoughts, and even wanted to finish them.

However, he was told that these women can be viewed from a distance, but they must not be played with.

This is no beauty's nest, it's clearly a swallow's nest.

"Swallow...it's almost time for Anna to play some role,"

When this idea came to Li Yian's mind, he was even more looking forward to the meeting with Wyszynski and the other party's cards.
