Chapter 333 Discussion, Results, and Contradictions
After Wang Ze and John had a brief chat, John got straight to the point: "Mr. Wang Ze, regarding the missile battleships purchased by the mainland, this type of warship has too much impact on the situation in Asia. We don't want the mainland to get it. I hope you can understand our position."
Wang Ze responded without hesitation: "Nanhua has always been honest and trustworthy, and treats all countries equally. Since we have agreed to the mainland's request to purchase warships and have received the payment, we will definitely deliver the warships to them at any cost."
However, the two sides have been unable to reach a consensus on this issue.
Finally, John proposed his solution: "Sumatra Island, the United States will support Nanhua in occupying the island. In exchange, Nanhua needs to stop selling warships to the mainland."
When Wang Ze heard Wang Shu's translation, he fell into deep thought.
On the one hand, there are the interests of the mainland, and on the other hand, there is the temptation of Sumatra.
Nanhua has been preparing on this island for a long time, and they may incorporate it into their territory at any time.
But they have not been able to take this step due to concerns about the reactions of the United States and the Soviet Union.
Now, Suharto is actively preparing for an attack on Sumatra, which is undoubtedly the best time to take it into his possession.
"Mainland China has already paid for this warship, and South China cannot violate the signed contract." Wang Ze said firmly.
After a while, the other side responded: "This ship can pass, but it is not allowed to sell supporting missiles to the mainland, and at the same time, ballistic missile technology is not allowed to proliferate."
After hearing this, Wang Ze pondered for a moment and finally decided to accept this condition.
He faced two choices, one was mainland China, and the other was being able to smoothly take over Sumatra.
It doesn't mean that South China cannot take over this land without the consent of the United States. It can also forcibly incorporate it into South China.
However, if the United States and the Soviet Union reach a consensus and express opposition to this, South China will have no choice but to make concessions.
This is why the South China Kingdom, although it had already taken control of the power on the island of Sumatra, has not been able to take further action.
Their original plan was to make Sumatra independent, but now that the United States is willing to support South China, the Soviet Union will inevitably be unable to do anything.
South China is not afraid of either the United States or the Soviet Union, because neither country is willing to go to war with South China and let the other country sit on the sidelines and watch the fight.
"Okay, I agree." After making up his mind, Wang Ze no longer hesitated and responded decisively.
As for the mainland, it must be able to understand. After all, the US Asia-Pacific Fleet has been dispatched, and it is understandable that Nanhua is unable to resist.
Finally, the two sides exchanged views on the situation in Southeast Asia, especially the situation in South Vietnam.
Wang Ze also said that he would sell them another 2,000 sets of light steel protective armor.
The United States has proposed to purchase light steel armor many times before, but Wang Ze rejected it every time.
If there is an oversupply, it may cause trouble for Nanhua in the future.
Although the light steel was produced by Nanhua, they had no effective countermeasures.
Therefore, Nanhua has always been determined not to allow large quantities of light steel armor to flow out.
After the call ended, Wang Ze said, "Go contact Big Brother. I'm going to see him later."
After a while, Wang Shu came back and reported that everything had been arranged and the other party would be waiting in the office.
Wang Ze nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and said, "Then let's set off now."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the elevator. Seeing this, Wang Shu hurriedly jogged to catch up with him.
After a short ride in the car, they arrived at the government building.
Wang Ze told Wang Shu in the car: "Wait here for a moment, I'll be down soon."
Then he opened the car door and got out.
When I entered Wang Jixin's office, Wang Jixin had already prepared hot tea.
Seeing Wang Ze coming in, he smiled and poured a cup in front of Wang Ze.
"You haven't been here for a while." Wang Jixin said with emotion.
"Yes, the offices here are all idle. It's indeed a waste of resources to leave a floor empty." Wang Ze picked up the teacup and took a sip, responding.
"What was the outcome of the talks on the South China Sea issue?" Wang Jixin asked with concern.
"Well, the United States agreed to release it." Wang Ze replied.
However, just as Wang Jixin smiled, he heard Wang Ze continue: "However, the matching missiles cannot be put on board, and at the same time, the missile technology cannot be spread."
"What does this mean? A missile battleship without missiles relies solely on a few naval guns?" Wang Jixin said in surprise, with a puzzled look on his face.
"When they purchased it, wasn't it just the naval guns?" Wang Ze leaned back in the seat, looked at Wang Jixin calmly and answered.
"You agree?" Wang Jixin looked at Wang Ze in confusion, his heart full of doubts.
How could he easily agree to such a request? He was originally trying to negotiate with the United States and the Asia-Pacific Command, hoping to resolve the issue through peaceful means.
But unexpectedly, after Wang Ze learned about this, he immediately decided to dispatch warships and take tough measures.
Wang Jixin was very surprised. He didn't understand why Wang Ze suddenly changed his attitude.
"The United States will support us in taking over Sumatra." Wang Ze said lightly.
After hearing this answer, Wang Jixin fell silent.
He sat there quietly, thinking about the problem.
After a long while, he finally asked, "What about the mainland?"
"What do you want to explain? We are not a vassal state of the mainland. Nanhua is an independent country." Wang Ze raised his voice and said seriously. His expression became serious.
Wang Zeqiang resisted the urge to replace Wang Jixin directly because his term of office had not yet ended. If he replaced him like this, it would deal a huge blow to Wang Jixin's prestige.
Even if Wang Jixin can join the clan association in the future, this incident will become a stain that he cannot wash away.
Wang Ze did not want to see such a result. He hoped that through this warning, his elder brother would correct this problem.
After hearing Wang Ze's words, Wang Jixin remained silent.
He knew clearly that this incident was triggered by the maritime confrontation with the United States. He wanted to solve it alone and did not inform Wang Ze in time.
According to common sense, the clan association has a certain influence in the government and is able to understand the government's policies and guidelines, but currently there is only Wang Ze in the clan association, and it is impossible for him to supervise the operation of the government every day.
Therefore, for some government policies, Wang Ze usually just reads reports to understand the situation.
This time, Wang Ze directly mobilized the military without communicating or discussing with the government in advance. He just asked for cooperation from a clan meeting. He knew that Wang Ze was dissatisfied with him.
However, Wang Jixin did not regret his decision. In his opinion, although he did not notify Wang Ze in advance, he did not make any mistakes from a procedural point of view.
He believed that he was capable of successfully resolving this crisis. What was wrong with that? Nanhua originally came from the mainland. If it did not rely on the mainland, would it defect to the United States or the Soviet Union?
Wang Jixin believes that Nanhua is inherently deficient, and wanting complete independence is just a joke. In this era, any country needs to take sides, and Nanhua is no exception.
