Chapter 2245 Geopolitics Lesson
Four or five days later, Deng Min and Fan Xuexi went home to accompany their family separately, and Chen Kangjie also had to do what he should do.
If it was a normal thing, Fan Xuexi and Deng Min would clamor to go with him. After all, summer vacation is a lot of time for them, and a small separation is better than a newlywed, so they are connected with Chen Kangjie. They are a little enthusiastic and they are unwilling to be separated like this.
However, they really can't go together what Chen Kangjie wants to do. This time he went to Moscow to attend the international conference of the International Olympic Committee. At this conference, the most important thing was to determine which country and which city was held in which country.
Speaking of which, Chen Kangjie's time has been delayed to a certain extent by them, otherwise Chen Kangjie would have set off two days ago.
Due to time delay, Chen Kangjie took his own special plane to Moscow. The Chinese delegation had already set off from the capital, so there was no need for Chen Kangjie to go back to the capital again.
This time, the country attached great importance to the Olympic bid, and formed a very large delegation, leading a national-level vice prime minister.
Chen Kangjie has a special relationship with Ivan. His plane is unobstructed in Russia. Moreover, some proper arrangements have been made from the airport to the hotel where he is staying.
When he arrived at the hotel, Chen Kangjie had just met the director of the General Administration of Sports, but was called to his room by the Vice Premier.
"Hello, Premier Li." Chen Kangjie was still very respectful to the national leadership.
"Xiao Chen, you're here very quickly. As soon as we arrived, you came, come and sit here." Premier Li was very kind to Chen Kangjie, as if he was to a junior of himself.
"Prime Minister Li, I came directly from the city without stopping. This Olympic bid is very important to our country, and of course I dare not delay it." Chen Kangjie walked over and sat next to Vice Premier Li.
"I know you have a sincere heart to the people of the national team. Your speech the day after tomorrow is very important. Are you ready?" Vice Premier Li asked with concern.
"Well, I'm ready. The manuscript has been read to the Olympic Organizing Committee in advance. What they have approved is now all the content in my mind. Don't worry, you will never lose the chain then." Chen Kangjie said solemnly.
In fact, Vice Premier Li’s question was just an attitude. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to pay attention to and consider these trivial matters.
"That's good, that's good. Thank you for your strong support for the country's Olympic bid. I know that in this process, you have done a lot of things and made great contributions. I thank you on behalf of the country and the people."
"No, no, Premier Li, how can I use any thanks? The power is not enough to be mentioned. As a descendant of Yan and Huang, as long as it is useful, it is of course a duty to hold a high-level Olympic Games. It is not only the dream of all Chinese people, but also my dream. I also hope that before retiring, I can fight on my own territory." Chen Kangjie is not only modest and cautious, but this is actually what he said in his heart.
"Haha, if you really compete in Beijing, I will definitely go to the scene to see your outstanding performance." Vice Premier Li smiled happily, "Xiao Chen, what is the chance of our success this time?"
Before this was officially announced, no one was truly 100% sure of winning. Moreover, Beijing failed during the bidding process ten years ago. With the lessons of the past, Vice Premier Li dared not be too optimistic.
"I think there is still more than 95% sure." Chen Kangjie, who understands the history, seems full of confidence.
"Is there such a high probability?" Vice Premier Li was a little surprised.
"Haha, of course, it is not an exaggeration to say that. With the experience of ten years ago, our country's development in all aspects has made rapid progress over the years. I think we have the right time, place, people and we have it. Among the major powers in the world, we are the only ones who have not held the Olympics yet. Those executive committee members with voting rights will fully consider this point. Speaking of which, this time, our competitors, namely Paris, can be a bit threat. As for Istanbul, Osaka and Toronto, to be honest, they act as foiling roles. Paris has held the Olympics after all, and France's economy has not been very satisfactory in the past two years. Therefore, this time, the capital is almost certain." Chen Kangjie made a simple analysis based on his own understanding. There is no need to be so detailed for people like Premier Li.
"Haha, there is one thing you didn't say, even this time we have you, the world-renowned Olympic Ambassador, your influence and role cannot be underestimated." Chen Kangjie seemed so confident, and Vice Premier Li was also very happy.
"I'm sorry, I'm just a small screw of the team. This level of competition can compare with the comprehensive combat power of the national strength and the team. In this way, I'm just a drop in the ocean." Chen Kangjie waved his hand and said modestly.
"Haha, it's good for young people to be humble, but it's not appropriate to belittle themselves. This time, in addition to participating in the Olympic Committee Executive Committee statement, I also talked about some bilateral cooperation with Russia on behalf of our country. I will go to visit President Ivan tonight. You can go with me at that time." Although Vice Premier Li said casually, it seems that this is an important factor in his call to Chen Kangjie to meet.
"Me? I'm afraid this is not suitable. You are formal exchanges between the government, and I don't have any official position, so it should not be suitable." Chen Kangjie pointed at his nose and said in surprise.
"Do you think I don't know that you have a good relationship with President Ivan. You have met him in the Kremlin before and have won a lot of benefits for our country. Haha, if you can meet in private, do you have any concerns when you go with me?"
"No, no, just like you said, I met him before, private, and the personal nature is very strong. However, you represent the country and the government, Premier Li. Is the cooperation you want to talk to them a little bit unsuccessful, so I have to ease the situation in the middle?" Chen Kangjie shouldn't have asked such words, but he still couldn't help but ask.
Maybe Chen Kangjie would seem to be taboo when he asked this, but if he didn't figure it out, Chen Kangjie wouldn't know what role he should play.
In addition, Chen Kangjie has some special relationship with Ivan, and he can have some influence on Ivan to a certain extent. However, Chen Kangjie is not willing to participate in formal occasions, at least he is not willing to do so at the moment.
Chen Kangjie knew what kind of person Ivan was, and he was very cautious. He could accept it by exerting influence in private, but if the government was put on the table, that guy would not be so easy to meet. Chen Kangjie needed to deal with his relationship with Ivan. After all, he is no longer an ordinary person.
Vice Premier Li was not furious or dissatisfied when facing Chen Kangjie's rude problem. He just pondered for a moment and gave Chen Kangjie a positive answer.
"Our cooperation with Russia is not exactly as harmonious and smooth as it seems on the surface. In many aspects, the closeness between us is not high. I believe you can see that Russia wants to move closer to Europe, but we cannot let that happen. We hope that Russia under Ivan can look east. We hope that all-round cooperation between the two countries can be closer and more integrated."
"Why can't we accept that Russia is moving closer to Europe?" Chen Kangjie had never considered this issue before, so he asked without thinking.
"Do you know which country is truly a threat to our country?" Vice Premier Li jumped in his mind.
"Japan? United States? Or, what you actually want to tell me is Russia?" Chen Kangjie's pupils shrank.
"Yes, it's Russia. Although we have had wars with Japan and the United States, we all know that Japan cannot occupy us at all, and the United States cannot have a territorial desire for us. But Russia is different. This country's nationality is very strong, and our two countries have a long border. For more than half a century, the United States has set its number one enemy as Russia, which is not without reason. Although most of Russia's territory is in Asia, they consider themselves European countries. If Russia really leans towards Europe and gains their acceptance, then they will in turn pose a threat to us." Vice Premier Li stood up and paced in the room and said slowly.
"I understand a little bit that if our country really wants to go out, step out of the ocean, and become an influential world power, then stabilizing the north and stabilizing the most threatening neighbors will become an imperative strategy. Moreover, if Russia can be brought back to the East, it can not only jointly fight against the pressure from the United States, but also drag Europe back, right?" When Vice Premier Li said, Chen Kangjie was thinking at the same time.
"Yes, it's a stable north. That's what it means. In our history, our country has been invaded and occupied on a large scale, not from the sea, not from the south, almost all from the north, whether it's the invasion of the Huns or occupied and unified by the Mongols and Manchus. In the north, Russia is the biggest force, and except for them, no one else has the power to influence us. Only by pulling Russia closer to us can we let go of our hands and feet and go to the ocean and to other continents. In the future, it may not be Russia that will war with us, but we must never push them to other camps. In the future, it's difficult for Russia to have another chance to become the world hegemon, but whoever they turn will be very likely to become the world hegemon."
