Chapter 705: The relationship is complicated
For the Chinese, Mongolia is a special country.
Because for a long time in history, Mongolia was once a part of China. For the Chinese, Mongolia was another strange country. We are so ignorant of this neighboring country with a border line of more than 4,000 kilometers with us that some people in China are still wishful thinking about the possibility of "**".
"**, it is 100% impossible. Whether it is Mongolians or Chinese in Mongolia, there is no second answer to this question." The staff of the Embassy in Mongolia answered this way when receiving Fan Wubing and his group.
A member of Fan Wubing's escort asked curiously, "I heard that Mongolian Hular is discussing the issue of **China. Is this full and full?"
"That's purely a good-looking person's painting cake to fill his stomach. The reality is that it's too late for the Mongolians to refuse China thousands of miles away, so how can I talk about throwing myself into my arms?" The staff member of the embassy replied, "Do you want to know where the Chinese are in the hearts of the Mongolians? What is the Japanese in the hearts of the Chinese and what is the Chinese in the hearts of the Mongolians? Chinese who have been to Mongolia have more or less unpleasant experiences. Before I came to Mongolia, my friend from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned me to be careful by myself, especially at night, to stay away from the drunken ghosts on the street."
Chinese companies in Mongolia are the biggest victims of this resistance. When a domestic Red company develops gold mines in Sukhbato Province, local environmental police and county magistrates often come to cause trouble. This year, at another project site of their company, local environmental police let all Chinese workers stand in a row, stand in the sun, and sit in their yurts to drink.
"This is an insult, but we have to swallow our anger, and other foreign-funded enterprises will not be treated like this." Sun Chengxiao, the head of the Reed Company, who came with the embassy staff to receive Fan Wubing and others, expressed his anger and helplessness about this.
An employee of Reid also said that this year he was stolen by a thief in Suhbato Square. Unexpectedly, after he chased the thief, he was taken to the police station by the local police. The thief was let go and he was beaten instead.
"If it weren't for the fact that there was gold here, the genius would have come here. They deserved to be starved to death and poor!" The employee said with some resentment.
The staff of the embassy also said that Chinese and Mongolian mixed men in Mongolia generally do not take the initiative to talk about their Chinese ancestry to others, especially Mongolian officials with Chinese ancestry are even more secretive about this, because this is a dangerous move to ruin the political future.
The Mongolian media undoubtedly contributed to the various unfriendliness of the Mongolians to the Chinese. They often exaggerated the matters that were concentrated into one side, so that the Chinese embassy had to do some public relations to maintain China's image in Mongolia.
However, if the local newspaper reports positively about China, it will often make corresponding negative reports soon to neutralize it, which shows the social and public opinion of its domestic readers. The same is true for Mongolian political parties. In parliamentary elections, ** often become a political bargaining chip in the election. In a ** country, this at least reflects the likes and dislikes of local people.
Under such public opinion in Mongolia, the Chinese people demand that Mongolian nationalists have no doubt lack deeper thinking. They do not know themselves or their opponents, and only care about themselves and talk to themselves online, sometimes they can only help others.
Fan Wubing said with deep emotion, "China's rise, the historical view must be mature. Frankly speaking, if historical problems are not faced, many neighboring countries cannot be solved. National development has stages, and there is a big and long-term strategic interest in it. The country has repeatedly emphasized respecting Mongolia's sovereignty, but we have different opinions among the people. We cannot say that these people are unpatriotic, but we must think about these issues seriously. It is really boring to think about wishful thinking and not face history and reality and talk big."
Indeed, if you think about it from the perspective of others, the Chinese will be furious when the previous Japanese prime ministers went to the ** shrine**. When the Mongolians who understand Chinese open the Chinese website, they all see the remarks that they have asked to take back Mongolia. What would the Mongolians think? This question cannot be avoided, and it is impossible for the Chinese and Mongolian people to have real friendly exchanges.
In fact, in the eyes of the Chinese, Americans' writing is authentic chauvinism, but how do these neighboring countries near China, especially North Korea, Mongolia, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, etc., which were previously the traditional Chinese vassal state status, view a powerful China?
This principle is actually very easy to understand. Of course, everyone wants to have good things, but others also have their own ideas.
"Boss, it seems that this matter is a bit difficult to deal with." The entourage said to Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "What's wrong with it? We are multinational companies and China and Russia are backing. How big a mess do you think relying on these Mongolian guns can cause?"
"That's right, but isn't there any old saying? It's better to be in charge of the county magistrate now." Someone said.
Fan Wubing smiled and said to everyone, "Did you notice it on the street just now? Even the security guards here have guns."
Many people nodded, and the embassy staff explained, "The public security situation in Mongolia is very poor, and there are many wild animals on the grassland, so there is nothing strange about security guards carrying guns."
"I plan to add another order to Lockheed Martin and buy more armed helicopters and individual soldiers to come over. I have to arm a team of tens of thousands of people. The name of the factory protection team is very useful." Fan Wubing told everyone what he thought.
"Mr. Fan, your idea seems to be a bit problematic, which will cause international disputes." The people in the embassy were shocked and thought that Mr. Fan was coming to Mongolia to invest, or was he pulling the pole and pulling the team to get the **?
You should know that the entire Mongolian armed forces are only 20,000 people. A few brigades are just outdated weapons in terms of equipment. If Fan Wubing really had to build an American armed force of tens of thousands of people, they would scare them out of their courage.
Fan Wubing smiled distractedly. In fact, he had already imagined this situation. Although Mongolia has resources, food and daily necessities are imported. Although Russia is a big country, its economic situation is very poor now and the people in China cannot take care of their lives. How could they come to help Mongolia?
China has been aiding Mongolia on food and daily necessities, which is just moral aid. Once China's aid to Mongolia is cut off, they will be really crazy. Especially Fan Wubing can persuade the top leaders of China and Russia to take unified actions at the same time. This is equivalent to completely surrounding the inland country Mongolia. Not only does it lose its channels of contact with the outside world, but it also loses any possibility of getting outside aid.
It’s not that Russia has no intention of Mongolia, but they withdrew their troops from Mongolia after the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations. After that, the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia was in economic difficulties and had no time to look east. Even Mongolia was thrown away.
Now is the best time for me to enter Mongolia to develop. Once a few years later, Russia has recovered its vitality, and the prices of various resources in the international market have risen rapidly, the Mongolians reacted and felt that it was not cost-effective to take over various mineral resources by themselves, and then they would lose this opportunity to develop the resource market.
Moreover, the several important mining areas that Fan Wubing knows have not been explored yet. It is a great opportunity to monopolize. After passing this village, there will be no such store.
The factory protection team must be done! It’s just a little larger scale.
If the Mongols really dare to turn against themselves, it is necessary to teach them a lesson, just like Chechnya in Russia is making trouble with them. What's the big deal about a war? Even if the country is worried about interference and unwilling to provide arms, Americans dare to sell anything. Russia is out of reach, and they are worried that Sino-Russia relations will suddenly deteriorate, so most of them will sit by. Fan Wubing can see this situation very clearly.
However, the people in the embassy seemed very nervous and kept asking Fan Wubing if he took what he said just now, making Fan Wubing very bored and just found some nonsense to deal with them.
Fan Wubing was very upset about this. What are the necessities of your own sphere of influence? Do you say that if you bully children at your doorstep, others will come over to help others vent their anger? In this era when the economy is king, the so-called fairness and morality are just a fig leaf. If you cannot be real, you are as strong as the United States, what reason should you say?
If you don’t start by bullying the weak, you will never become a truly influential power.
In the international relations pattern, Mongolia is not a very prestigious country in terms of strength and influence. However, due to the special geopolitical position of Mongolia, Mongolia is like a weight in the strategic relationship between major powers, which can tilt the balance of the Asia-Pacific strategic structure.
Mongolia has great strategic value to major powers such as China, Russia, the United States, and Japan. Its foreign policy orientation will have a profound impact on the complex strategic relationships formed between these major powers. At the same time, Mongolia is in a geopolitical structure formed between relevant major powers. Mongolia's national strategy and foreign relations are seriously restricted by major power relations and have clear geopolitical characteristics and models.
Mongolia's predecessor, the People's Revolutionary Party, was predecessor of Mongolia. Their goal was to establish a society and develop a free market economy. They believed that the government should have at least 51 controlling stake in the mining industry and become a major shareholder. The second largest party, the ** Alliance, is a pro-Western political party, whose purpose is to develop a society, human rights and a free society. They advocate that private enterprises should become the largest shareholder in the mining industry.
It seems that this is a question of adhering to public ownership or privatization. In fact, the secret competition between Russia and the United States has also penetrated closely. As early as the early 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, liquidated historical debts with Mongolia. Mongolia owed about $11 billion in foreign debt for decades, while Mongolia had only had about $200 million in foreign exchange reserves at that time, and had almost no industry, so it was impossible to pay off this huge debt.
In response, one of the solutions proposed by Russia is to convert this one billion US dollars into state shares. Russia now owns 49% of Mongolia's state-owned railway transportation shares. Although Mongolia has a large amount of oil and gas resources, 90% of the country's oil supply comes from Russia's national oil companies. Russia exchanges partial management rights for Mongolia's national oil industry with discounts slightly lower than the market price. Recently, there have been rumors that Russia will set up nuclear reactors in its territory by developing Mongolia's uranium mines.
Mongolia's uranium reserves are about 1.3 million tons, and its resources can be said to be very rich. Therefore, this rumor makes Americans very worried. After all, any nuclear power's desire for uranium resources is endless.
Fan Wubing therefore also considered that with his newly built cooperative relationship with Russia and his private relationship with all walks of life in the United States, a balanced diplomacy between the two major powers should be able to settle the matter here. After all, he has a relatively relatively high international investment company as a tool to participate in Mongolia's development and can be used well.
"How did Mr. Fan get along the way?" asked the embassy staff.
"Just take the train, this broken place is really boring." When Fan Wubing thought of the train he took when he came, he couldn't help but shook his head.
When we arrived, Fan Wubing took an international train directly to Ulaanbaatar. Although it was an international train, its degree of dilapidation was worse than that of the trains that were not used in China. Fortunately, Fan Wubing rented a private room, and after cleaning up a little, he could bear it for a while.
Although he didn't have long been to Mongolia, he saw the Rolls-Royce and other luxury cars running on the street. When he looked at the infrastructure construction in Mongolia that was extremely poor, he could think that the level of officialdom here would be worse, not the worst.
However, Fan Wubing also made up his mind that investing here is naturally necessary, but this should also be used as a threat to gain more privileges, such as air flight authority, etc. In addition, the government officials in Mongolia are very proud and only need to make little investment to handle these things.
Once you have gained a firm foothold in Mongolia, what to do is up to you.
