Yanei of Rebirth

The next morning, Da Gedi from the Provincial Office in Beijing sent Secretary Liu to the office building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Comrade Zhao Xinghua, Minister of Foreign Affairs, made an appointment with Liu Jun in person.Naturally, the purpose was to arrange for Secretary Liu to visit Russia.At nine o'clock in the morning, Secretary Liu showed up in Zhao Xinghua's office on time.Zhao Xinghua greeted him personally at the door of the office~'\room.

Zhao Xinghua was born in the 40s, about the same age as Bang Jincai, and looks like a very kind-hearted old man. If it weren't for the halo on his head, anyone who met such a person on the street would regard him as a retired veteran cadre .

The most prominent characteristic of Zhao Xinghua is his gentle demeanor, that strong scholarly atmosphere makes anyone who sees him respect him.

Of course, Liu Jun knew that this was just Zhao Xinghua's appearance.Neri, Minister Zhao is an excellent diplomat who enjoys a high international reputation.He has served in important positions such as Director-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Assistant Minister, Ambassador to the United Nations, Ambassador to the United States, and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. He is the most senior diplomat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. . [

Therefore, when Zhao Xinghua greeted him personally at the office door, Liu Jun felt a little "flattered". He walked a few steps, stepped forward to shake hands with Zhao Xinghua, and said with a smile, "Mr. "

Zhao Xinghua smiled gently, and said in a powerful bass voice: "Secretary Liu Junyan is about to visit a big country and win glory for the country. He deserves it!"

Zhao Xinghua's words really came from his heart.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has its own system, and he gave Liu Jun such a high courtesy this time, partly because of Liu Jincai's face, but more than half because of Liu Jun's own reasons.Although the cooperation negotiations between our country and Russia are mainly based on the military, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is of course the one who really controls the negotiation process.The military just sent personnel to help.Therefore, now that the negotiations have reached an impasse, Zhao Xinghua is also very anxious.He Changzheng's proposal to let Liu Jun participate was a reminder to Zhao Xinghua.

As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Zhao Xinghua knew about Sheng Ye Group's influence in Russia and Liu Jun's relationship with Sheng Ye Group.It's just not clear to what extent.Now Liu Jun readily accepted the promise and did not resign. It can be seen that this matter is quite certain, which made Zhao Xinghua a little surprised but also a little excited.

He is very clear that the result of this cooperation negotiation has no important significance for the modernization of our army.

Standing together with Zhao Xinghua at the door of the office to welcome Liu Jun, there was also a middle-aged cadre in his fifties. Zhao Xinghua personally introduced him as Director Li of the European Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Director Li was very enthusiastic towards Liu Jun, held Liu Jun's hand, and said a lot of words of admiration.After exchanging pleasantries at the door, Zhao Xinghua personally led Liu Jun into his office, and the secretary offered tea. "Secretary Liu, in order to cooperate and negotiate with Russia, you have to work hard for yourself, hehe, I am ashamed..."

After the two parties settled down, Zhao Xinghua didn't say any more polite words, and went straight to the point.When he said the word "ashamed", Zhao Xinghua was indeed a little embarrassed.

Formal diplomatic negotiations cannot be won, and Liu Jun's personal relationship needs to be mobilized, which is a bit difficult to talk about.

Liu Jun smiled and said: "Minister Zhao is too polite. It is the duty of a party member to serve the country." As long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best. "

Zhao Xinghua nodded again and again, and said, "I understand Secretary Liu's desire to serve the country... There are some extremist forces in the Russian political circles. They always look at the relationship between our two countries with the old eyes of the past. Neighboring countries are a threat to them. They don’t know that forming a strategic partnership is in the best interest of both parties. These extremist forces are very influential in their country, and President Ivan has scruples because of this.”

Zhao Xinghua briefly introduced to Liu Jun the reasons for the current stalemate in the negotiations.

Liu Jun said: "This situation is relatively normal. Our northern neighbor has always been eyeing us. These extremist forces are always dreaming of big country chauvinism. But I believe that President Ivan, and most of them Political leaders are still very clear-headed. They know the principle of win-win cooperation. Speaking of which, they need our support even more now!"

Zhao Xinghua said happily: "Secretary Liu is very correct. This is the key point. I have firmly grasped this point. I believe that Secretary Liu's visit to Russia this time will definitely have a very satisfactory result. We have passed provincial The Foreign Affairs Office contacted St. Petersburg, Russia. Mayor Antonina warmly invited Secretary Liu to visit St. Petersburg at a convenient time. Liu Jun smiled and nodded. Naturally, he had to worry about such diplomatic procedures.

Zhao Xinghua looked at Director Li and said, "Director Li, please introduce the basic situation of Mayor Antonina to Secretary Liu." "Yes!" Director Li respectfully agreed before turning his head away. Facing Liu Jun. "Secretary Liu, Ms. Antonina is the newly elected mayor of St. Petersburg. She is one of President Ivan's most trusted subordinates...

In fact, after learning that he was going to visit St. Petersburg, Liu Jun had a phone call with Xiaoqing last night.When Liu Jun asked Xiaoqing to pay attention to Ivan a long time ago, Ivan was serving as the first deputy mayor of St. Petersburg.Therefore, Xiaoqing set up an office in St. Petersburg. The biggest task of this office is not to make money, but to spend money.Xiaoqing instructed the person in charge of the office to find ways to get close to Ivan and contribute money and effort to him.As long as Mr. Ivan has a request, no matter how much money is spent, he must be satisfied.

Therefore, St. Petersburg can also be said to be one of the main bases of Sheng Ye Group in Russia. There are detailed information on the important political figures in St. Petersburg, and the mayor is naturally the most concerned object.The mayor of St. Petersburg, Luzhkov, who has just left office, is Ivan's political enemy.

St. Petersburg is the hometown of President Ivan.After Ivan took over as president, he performed extremely strongly. For St. Petersburg, the second largest city in Russia, Ivan once showed his determination to win.But shortly after Ivan was sworn in, local elections were held in St. Petersburg, and Luzhkov won by a landslide.

To the outside world, Luzhkov's reelection seemed incredible.

St. Petersburg has always been regarded as the crime capital of Russia.Buying lives is commonplace, corruption is rife, and mayors seeking re-election have a bad reputation.Still, the citizens of St. Petersburg love Luzhkov, and local television, which Luzhkov controls, portrays him as a figure who does everything he can to serve the people. [

At this moment Ivan's prestige was a blow.Because in this election, Ivan once supported another candidate and was protested by voters in St. Petersburg.It is believed that the highest authority should not interfere with local elections.

Faced with Luzhkov's strength, Ivan had to give up his support for that candidate.After taking office, Ivan hinted at plans to weaken the power of local officials in hopes of establishing a strong centralized government.But the election underscores the difficulties Ivan faces in trying to rein in local power.

But Ivan is by no means the kind of person who will retreat in the face of difficulties. On this point, Ivan and Liu Jun's personalities are very similar. As long as it is something he has identified, he will persevere in this direction. Never give up until the goal is reached.Now that the positive election method defeated Luzhkov, Ivan found another way.

Speaking of which, when it comes to the East and the West, many political techniques are interlinked.The method used by Ivan is very similar to the "rising brightly and falling darkly" habitually used in domestic official circles.

In June of this year, Ivan announced the appointment of Luzhkov as deputy prime minister of the Russian government, in charge of housing and public facilities renovation.At the same time, Ivan also awarded Luzhkov the "Medal of the Fatherland".

For the outside world, this is an irony.Because before that, Luzhkov was accused of misusing public funds and did not take measures to improve the poor housing conditions in St. Petersburg.

A well-known commentator in the Moscow News weekly said: It is very wrong to let some enemies and people with bad intentions into the political core group.The creation of flashy, critical posts was the tribute that the Ivan era forced the state budget to maintain political stability.

Xiaoqing said to Secretary Liu on the phone last night: "Ivan is as cunning and cunning as you... He obviously hates people to the bone, but he pretends to be promoted to others. In fact, he can't wait to sleep on his skin its meat.

None of you politicians are honest... I see that Luzhkov's days are coming to an end.Stupidly accepting the position of a deputy prime minister in vain, but easily throwing away his status as a prince. In the future, Ivan will control him, saying that he can't be flattened if he is rounded up, and he can't be flattened if he is flattened by him. Don't try to round it up!Hey, sooner or later he will be dealt with! "

Secretary Liu didn't take President Liu's "taunt" at all seriously, and said with a smile: "Clean it up. Disobedient guy, keep the f, clean it up as soon as possible, so that he won't continue to make trouble."

Xiaoqing pretended to be "scared", giggled and said, "Fortunately, I am very obedient, so I don't have to be punished!"

The 54-year-old Antonina is the right-hand man sent by Ivan to succeed Luzhkov in the past. Before becoming the mayor of St. Petersburg, he was the deputy prime minister of the Russian Federal Government and the representative of the Northwest Federal District of the Russian government. St. Petersburg belongs to the Northwest Federal District according to the division. Ivan's desire to take a strong hold on the city of St. Petersburg was very strong.

Director Li gave Antonina a very detailed introduction, and even told Liu Jun that in Russian f6, Antonina's nickname is "Tonida". In addition to introducing some situations in St. Petersburg, Director Li also introduced some related diplomatic etiquette , made an explanation, and told Liu Jun that at that time, comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would accompany Liu Jun to visit St. Petersburg.To be continued, 1
