Chapter 1264(1/2)
On March 13, the large China-Xiamen delegation ended its visit in Ottawa and set off for New York.
During the two days in Ottawa, the two sides discussed mainly economic and trade cooperation issues, and did not involve politics and the future world system for the time being.
Jiangdong held friendly talks with the governor-general of the other party and reached a strategic consensus on strengthening economic and trade cooperation.
Specific trade cooperation and industry exchanges will be discussed in detail by representatives from various industries with each other to determine the details of exchange and cooperation. Jiangdong is only responsible for attending the final signing ceremony.
In general, the diplomatic activities over the past two days were very rich, and many diplomatic achievements were achieved.
It was a good start for this trip.
After the special plane took off from Ottawa International Airport, everyone on board finally breathed a sigh of relief. Many people slumped in their chairs and did not want to move.
Jiangdong encouraged everyone to seize the time and rest for a while. After all, the next trip to New York and Washington is the focus of this visit.
At that time, everyone must concentrate and be extremely energetic.
Lu Zhuoran, Ding Beifeng, Tang Yun and others sat on the east side of the river, while Gu Yongtian, Jillian and others sat further back.
Gu Yongtian's original position was the chairman of the Overseas Chinese Materials Supervision Committee. After the country's independence, the committee was abolished. He now works in the diplomatic system.
He himself was born in Zhigongtang, Hongmen, and was familiar with things in the Americas, so Jiang Dong also brought him with him on this trip.

It's a rare trip to America, and Jillian must go home.
The Secretariat arranged a private banquet with the Rockefeller family for Jiang Dong.
Going to New York and Washington, economic and trade cooperation and political consultations are very important.
This meeting will even determine the international system for the next half century.
After a brief chat with Ding Beifeng and others, Jiang Dong also closed his eyes and took the time to rest and recharge his batteries for the next series of activities.
The special plane arrived in New York on the afternoon of the 13th. In addition to the overseas Chinese representatives of Mr. Situ Meitang, there were also local mayors, congressmen, etc. who came to greet him.
After Jiang Dong walked out of the cabin, countless flashlights came out. He felt a little dazzled and calmed down a little. Then he walked down the gangway with a smile and shook hands with everyone who came to greet him.
Media reporters who had been waiting for a long time came in large numbers, but were blocked by security personnel.
After shaking hands with everyone, Jiang Dong delivered a brief speech in front of a group of media reporters at the airport.
The speech was based on the theme of win-win cooperation.

This is Koto's second visit to New York, but his identity was completely different the two times, and the standard of reception has naturally changed a lot.
Among all the people who came to the airport, the overseas Chinese were the most excited, followed by the hundreds of reporters.
After Jiangdong's speech, reporters wanted to conduct face-to-face interviews, but were refused.
After getting into a special car, Jiang Dong left the airport under the escort of everyone. He would go to a hotel run by Hongmen himself to rest and wait for the next business negotiations.
New York first and then Washington, this was decided long ago.
Both sides of the street were crowded with people, some came to welcome Jiangdong, while others simply watched the excitement.
Private secretary Jillian sat next to Jiangdong, with excitement about returning home on her face. At the same time, there was some anxiety in her eyes, as if she was worried about how to tell her family about her relationship with Jiangdong in detail.
Thomas Rockefeller was also in the waiting queue at the airport, so Gillian had naturally noticed him a long time ago.
However, due to the different circumstances, the two only had brief eye contact.
The emerging Zhongxia is full of vitality, and all walks of life are booming. In the eyes of New York businessmen, the East is a huge market with endless potential.

Therefore, many businessmen are looking forward to Jiangdong's arrival, hoping to get a share of the pie in the context of future cooperation.
After entering the hotel where he was staying, Jiang Dong first met with representatives of the New York Chamber of Commerce according to the arrangement of the Secretariat, headed by several major families, including the Rockefeller family.
The chamber of commerce representatives were followed by regional dignitaries. Most of them had already met at the airport, but at that time they could only exchange some brief greetings without touching on any substantive content.
The meeting at the hotel was mainly to confirm the next schedule and listen to Jiangdong's opinions on the reception work.
The last person he met was the overseas Chinese representative. Jiang Dong first thanked the overseas Chinese for their selfless dedication and support during the most difficult period of the war in the motherland, and then asked about their living environment abroad.
By the time these receptions were over the sun had set.
Jiang Dong then attended the welcome dinner organized by Mr. Situ Meitang himself, accompanied by Lu Zhuoran, Ding Beifeng, Tang Yun, Gu Yongtian and others.
After the dinner, Jiang Dong had a private meeting with Mr. Situ Meitang.
"Commander-in-Chief, since Hongmen took over the foreign trade business of the motherland, the lives of overseas travelers have been getting better day by day, and no one is willing to do those shameful things anymore.
Everyone's material life has been greatly improved, and at the same time, their social status is also constantly improving.

Many people have asked me to express their gratitude to you. A strong motherland is the strongest support for overseas travelers."
Jiangdong stood at the window sill on the 16th floor of the hotel, looking at the night view of New York below, shaking his head slightly and saying:
"A good life is earned by everyone's hard work. There is no need to be so polite. On the contrary, the country should be grateful to you for doing such a good business and effectively promoting the development of domestic industry and commerce."
The two complimented each other, and the chat was over.
Mr. Situ Meitang's expression turned solemn, and after hesitating for a moment he said:
"The economic and trade discussions during the Commander-in-Chief's trip are probably secondary. The more important aspect should be international politics."
Jiang Dong withdrew his gaze, invited the old gentleman to sit opposite him, and then replied:
"After all, it's rare to get out. Both things are very important, regardless of priority."
The old gentleman had a thoughtful expression on his face, as if talking to himself:
"The Japanese pirates are already like grasshoppers after the autumn, they can't jump around for a few days, and when they will be destroyed is not a matter of a word from the commander-in-chief.
The war in the East is effectively over.
Everything that can be obtained through war has basically been obtained, and the next step is to extend and strive to obtain greater benefits from the negotiation table."
Jiangdong smiled and nodded,
"That's pretty much what it means. What's your advice, old gentleman?"
Situ Meitang hurriedly waved his hand:
"If you don't take advice seriously, let me tell you my own opinion."
"Um."
"There are three most powerful parties in the world today. Besides us, they are the Soviets and here.
Although the Soviet Union relied on external aid to win this war, its vast territory and perseverance of the nation meant that it would be able to develop rapidly after the war.
Next came America. They participated in the war for a short time, but trade in arms and other aspects started very early. The war stimulated the development of the military industry, and countless capitalists made a lot of money.

I know Mr. President relatively well. He is very capable and has a strategic mind, but that is all. He cannot escape the interference of capital. Many of his decisions will be biased.
It seems this is our biggest competitor internationally at the moment."
Jiang Dong sat upright and listened very seriously.
The old gentleman paused and said:
"In addition to the above two parties, we must also consider Great Britain. Although the old imperialist countries, apart from France, suffered the greatest losses in this war, Great Britain suffered the most, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
The last thing they want to give up is their colonies scattered around the world, which will be a major focus of future consultations and negotiations."
After Jiang Dong thought silently for a moment, he asked sincerely:
"Then according to the old man's opinion, how should we break the situation?"
Situ Meitang's expression became more solemn, and he lowered his voice and said:
“The above three parties are not monolithic; on the contrary, their conflicts of interests and ideologies are very severe.

I think that when it comes to the construction of the post-war system, we can serve as organizers and advocates, but we cannot directly participate in conflicts of interest. How should I put it, we are somewhat like what we people call peacemakers and liaisons.
Never give in on issues of principle, act as a middleman when dealing with conflicts of interest in other directions, and when necessary, use the three-party game to seek benefits for yourself and stabilize your position.
Any tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and a spear will kill the first bird. This is the wisdom passed down from our ancestors."
The old gentleman smiled coquettishly and said,
"Of course, a mere peacemaker will definitely not be convincing, nor will he be able to realize his own interests, but behind us is a powerful motherland and an army that is invincible in every battle.
Zhongxia people spit and nail, and what they say will make people believe it."
Finally, the old gentleman looked at Jiangdong meaningfully and said:
"The Commander-in-Chief has just turned 30 and is at a time when he is full of energy. I am afraid that these words of an old man are not in line with the lofty aspirations of the Commander-in-Chief. I hope that the Commander-in-Chief will listen to them alone."
Jiang Dong stood up, bowed slightly, and said seriously:
"The teachings of the old man should be kept in mind by the younger generation.
