Chapter 362 Jiang Feng's Determination

Jiang Feng has now made up his mind to get back the face from Africa. Especially for mines with huge interests, it is a goal that must be fought for.

It can be imagined that if North Africa's mineral plan is realized, the domestic mineral resources problem will be immediately reversed very significantly, and it will even have a profound impact on the international ore market, which will in turn cause huge changes in the distribution of world resources.

In any case, North African mines will definitely be taken down.

Jiang Feng and Prime Minister Wen reached an agreement that the government was responsible for handling the black regime in North Africa to get their support for Jiang's consortium's mineral investment in Africa. Jiang's consortium wanted to give certain discounts when providing various ores to the country and help the domestic iron ore department negotiate price reductions with the three major iron ore giants.

"This is an exchange of interests." Jiang Feng said to Ding Haoguo when he went to Rong's family.

After listening to Jiang Feng's explanation, Ding Haoguo said to him: "The government has a relatively large influence on Africa, but it is generally unwilling to show it. The key relationship must always be used at the right time."

Jiang Feng deeply agrees with this. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese government's aid to African countries has been in progress, spending about hundreds of billions of dollars. Although it is also an astronomical figure based on the comparable value at that time, it is indeed worth it from the results it received. It not only made the new China return to the United Nations, but also received the support of a large number of hard-core supporters and became a permanent member of the Security Council again, with a veto power. This is something that cannot be bought no matter how much money it costs.

As early as November 15, 1949, the founding Prime Minister called UN Secretary-General Rai and Fourth United Nations General Assembly Chairman Romulo, demanding that the United Nations immediately cancel all rights of the "Chinese National Government Delegation" to continue to participate in the United Nations on behalf of the Chinese people. The Chinese government's proposals were sympathized and supported by the Soviet Union, India, Yugoslavia and other governments, but were opposed by the US government. The US government opposed this matter under the pretext of immature timing, and the issue of China's representation was dragged down in the early stage of the United Nations.

Under the influence of the foreign policy of New China, a powerful force mainly supporting China's legitimate rights and interests in the United Nations emerged, and fought with the United States and other countries that opposed the restoration of China's legitimate rights and interests in the United Nations. The two sides had been dealing with each other for eleven years.

During this period, the United States' approach to China's representation has changed, and delayed discussions have become increasingly unpopular. In the end, China's representation issue can only be blocked by the two-thirds majority of the Congress.

In 1971, it was obvious that it might be difficult to stop African countries from supporting China, the United States, Japan and other countries proposed a double representation case before the 26th UN General Assembly, attempting to create two Chinas and allow the new Chinese government to automatically withdraw.

This is because the founding Prime Minister said in his second meeting with the Prime Minister of Somalia before: "If the United States sees that most countries in the United Nations support China to restore seats, it will play new tricks and proposes that Taiwan must be excluded. This is absolutely unacceptable, otherwise we will admit that Taiwan has been divided and that the United States has occupied Taiwan, and that Chiang Kai-shek does not admit that we will become national sinners, and we would rather not enter the United Nations."

On the evening of October 25, 1971, the debate between the 26th UN General Assembly on China's representation ended. At this time, the historical vote began immediately, and the proposals proposed by the United States, Japan and other 22 countries were rejected.

Then, the conference voted on proposals from the 23 African countries including Algeria.

In the vote, Bush, the Permanent Representative of the United Nations, requested a speech, and he told all member states that the U.S. delegation requested the deletion of the content of the immediate expulsion of the representatives of the Chiang Kai-shek group from the proposals of the 23 countries including Algeria.

Bush's proposal was not accepted, and he immediately voted on the proposals of the 23 African countries including Algeria. The famous resolution 2758 in the history of the United Nations was born.

The President of the Congress announced loudly that since the proposals of Algeria and 23 countries were approved, the proposals of the "dual representation" of the United States, Japan and other 19 countries became an abolished case and was automatically rejected by the Congress.

As soon as this solemn announcement ended, there was once again a scene of long-term cheers and applause in the conference hall.

Secretary-General Wu Dan immediately said: "Only by restoring the seat in the world's most populous People's Republic of China, the United Nations has truly begun work."

That night, NBC, CBS and ABC broadcast the news on three major TV stations in a major and important news inter-channel manner, saying that "With the support of 76 countries including Africa, Red China was approved to enter the United Nations, and a new historical period is coming."

When reporting the news, all three newspapers published a list of 76 countries that voted for UN General Assembly resolution 2758, including 26 African countries, Britain, France and Canada, which established diplomatic relations with China, were also on the list.

When talking about this, Ding Haoguo said to Jiang Feng with some emotion: "Diplomatic relations requires money, but if you spend money, you have to see the results. In the past, there was no effort to support African countries and sacrificed a lot, but without the efforts at that time, how could we live a better life today? In fact, the relationship between the state is to attract a group of people and fight a group of people, and this strategy will not change at any time."

Jiang Feng had not carefully studied the history at that time. When he heard Ding Haoguo talk about it, he asked: "Is Bush, the permanent representative of the United Nations at that time, the former US President Bush, the father of the current President George W. Bush?"

Ding Haoguo nodded and replied: "Yes, Bush, the Sr., was a naval pilot during World War II and showed his courage. Later, from 1971 to 1972, he served as the US permanent representative to the United Nations. In 1974, he became the director of the Liaison Office in China, and later returned to the United States to work as the director of the CIA. Later, he became Reagan's vice president, and later became president himself and raised his son to president. This person is quite a figure."

Jiang Feng thought to himself that Bush started his business in intelligence work. After all, the director of the Liaison Office in China is actually a specialist in intelligence. As for the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, let alone the need to say more, they are responsible for the entire overseas intelligence work in the United States.

When talking about Africa, both grandfather and grandson had the same views, believing that domestic companies want to develop overseas, they are indeed inseparable from the support of the government, but the support of the government is really very limited now, especially in foreign-related laws and intelligence, there are too few things that can be done.

"The reason why foreign exchange reserves are just reserves is that they do not spend money to buy into resources and import other people's finished products at high prices. So far, besides you Jiang, there are no cases of China's successful acquisition of large overseas mines, and a few are basically small mine tailings. It is easy for domestic scholars to make suggestions, but it is too difficult to implement them. There are even fewer people who can recognize the shortcomings of China's soft power. If you can't know yourself and the enemy, how can you win?" Ding Haoguo shook his head and said, "I will raise this question and set up a corresponding agency to do this. After all, as time goes by, it is impossible for us to not develop overseas."

Jiang Feng deeply agreed with this. This situation is like the Westernization Movement of China back then. Many Chinese industrialists participated in the economic strength and could mobilize millions of taels of silver. It was also a huge sum of money in the world at that time. However, even if they were suffering losses in competition with foreigners everywhere, no one clearly stated the reason behind it, because Chinese rulers were unwilling to exert such soft power to weaken their power.

Although it has made a lot of progress now, there is still such awareness among government officials, which is very bad.

The bottom line of Chinese people in doing things is very low. They do not focus on whether they are fair or not when doing business, but leave when they see profits. This is because China is an overcompetitive society and the world has become an oligarchical economy.

For example, if this cooperation project of Jiang's Consortium is spread, many people will immediately express their willingness to take over. What is certain is that the result of their purchase is far inferior to the original agreement, which is a consequence of excessive competition.

Another point is that the old overseas Chinese gave great help to this trip to Africa. Overseas Chinese can still play a huge role at critical moments. Here we also need to reflect on the overseas Chinese policy. Is it inappropriate?

According to the traditional Chinese concept, I always hope that they will return to their country and say that they will return to their roots and repay their motherland. However, such policies will make the living environment of overseas Chinese very difficult because local society will exclude them. Negating dual nationality actually limits the development of many Chinese people.

In Africa, people from all countries in Europe and the United States have dual nationalities because no one will give up their nationality for the sake of African nationality. But at the same time, if they do not have African nationality, their local behavior will be greatly restricted. Africa's policies to foreigners are different from those in China. In China, it is basically a national discrimination policy. Having a foreign status is beneficial at home, while Africa is different, including different taxes. This is the fundamental difference between the two.

In fact, the string of anti-colonialism in Africa is very tight, so nothing goes smoothly without nationality. Western countries' policy of using dual nationality has actually taken a huge advantage in the system, so it is easy to understand why mainstream European and American countries recognize dual nationality.

However, the mainland's policy intolerance on the issue of dual nationality is the one who suffers in the end. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
