Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Using an informal Western-style banquet, such as a buffet, to entertain the U.S. Secretary of State Lasker and the President's National Security Advisor Bon Kennedy and their delegation is not to cater to old American habits, but a buffet is more appropriate to create a relaxed atmosphere.  In this atmosphere, officials from China and the United States communicated with each other, exchanged feelings, exchanged opinions informally, and laid some foundation for normal negotiations.  At the buffet, the guests and hosts can mix and match freely, move around at will, and choose their favorite foods, without the constraints of a formal banquet.  In addition, it is relatively simple to prepare, convenient and hygienic, and relatively low-cost.  It is most appropriate to entertain this secret delegation from the United States in this manner that is neither cold nor hot, neither far nor near, nor humble nor arrogant.  ¡¾¡¿ But no matter what form of banquet is adopted, in any case, the guest of honor is an important person to be taken care of by the host.  The buffet party is no exception.  At 7:30 p.m., U.S. Secretary of State Lasker and Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Ben Kennedy arrived at the banquet hall of the Old Building without wearing formal attire or ties.  Chen Yi and Li Dawei accompanied Secretary of State Rusk and Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs John F. Kennedy respectively to the meal, which also reflects the host's care for the guest of honor at the buffet.  "David, your Western food here is very authentic," Bang Kennedy said to Li Dawei after eating a small piece of foie gras and taking a sip of cocktail. "" After Kennedy took office in the United States  Soon after becoming president, Li Dawei went to the United States and held many talks with Ben Kennedy, the national security assistant of the U.S. President, on the issue of retrieving cultural relics lost to China and Sino-US space cooperation.  They are old acquaintances. On this occasion, it is not rude to call Li Dawei by his first name, and it will appear very affectionate, but Americans always refer to "David" as "David".  "Thank you for the compliment." But to be honest, I have never done much research on Western food. During the Yan'an period, the conditions were very difficult. Once, some comrades from our dormitory wanted to make Western food.  The pizza turned out to be a mess, the bottom was burnt black by the fire, and there was still slimy dough on top. A few of us still ate the charred charcoal and dough.  do you know?  Burnt charcoal and raw dough were a monthly allowance for me and these comrades.  So from then on I never wanted to eat Western food again.  "Li Dawei casually interpreted the stories of the older generation of desperate people into his own experience. "Ha, ha, ha," Bang, Kennedy let out a burst of hearty laughter."  It's contrived, it's the work of a politician.  Bang, Kennedy touched the glass in Li Dawei's hand with the goblet in his hand, and said in a low voice: "David, you are not only a great prophet, but also a talented actor. Do you think I can really do it?"  Do you believe that you are a red guerrilla who came out of the soil plateau in western China? Then you would look down on us too much." Li Dawei was not shocked at all by Bon Kennedy's words. "If you are with a fellow American.  If the United States still doesn't know enough about someone who has been doing diplomacy for more than 10 years, then the U.S. intelligence agencies are really a bunch of idiots. But Li Dawei still seizes the opportunity to use the United States' mystery about his origins to put pressure on the United States.  He smiled very relaxedly and said to Bon Kennedy, "Oh, am I a red guerrilla who came out of the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi?" It's up to you to believe it or not, but you can still say that I am a great prophet.  I am telling you a new prediction." Li Dawei pretended to be mysterious and said: "You, the United States, must accept China's "M¨¦n Luo Doctrine" this time. Otherwise, the United States will face the situation of withdrawing from Asia.  The biggest disaster since the founding of the People's Republic of China." Bang Kennedy looked at the somewhat mysterious figure standing next to him with doubts, took a sip of wine, and then said calmly: "To maintain stability in Asia, Americans need to stay.  "If the Asian issue is not handled well, as you said, the consequences will be really disastrous.  " Li Dawei said calmly and in an understatement: "The disaster you and I are talking about are two different concepts. The disaster I am talking about refers to the biggest disaster since the founding of the United States. It is not the disaster you are talking about in Asia, let alone  "China" is a disaster. If the current problems between China and the United States cannot be resolved in this negotiation, the United States can only be a stepping stone for "China" to become the world's largest country.  Bon, do you believe me, a prophet?  "Bang, Kennedy finished the glass of wine, put the glass on a large tray on the counter, and said to Li Dawei with a smile: "David, are you threatening me?  " "No, no, we are old friends, how could I threaten you?  This is just a prophecy, or a friend's advice.  You can take what I said as a joke.  "Li Dawei looked at the wine glass that Bang Kennedy had finished and put on the table, and said: "Okay, old friend, let's drink something more. I think it would be better to drink some black tea.  Qi¡±   ".k, this is exactly what I want." The two of them walked side by side to the drink counter like old friends.  Kennedy did not want to show too much weakness in dealing with China and would be at a psychological disadvantage in foreign relations.  If you show too much weakness, you will suffer consequences. On the contrary, it may create an opportunity for [China] to take advantage of and be used by [China] in the subsequent negotiations.  It makes [China] have plots against the United States and makes the United States passive.  He kept reminding himself to be stronger.  So as he walked, he was still like a boiled duck meat and said to Li Dawei, "David, if the situation you predicted happens, I think we in the United States will also face it bravely in our own way."  The kind of disaster you mentioned. " "Really?" Li Dawei put on a very surprised expression, turned to look at Bon Kennedy, who was walking side by side with him, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Kennedy.  Sir, you have such character. I don¡¯t think the United States can be frightened by just one or two words to get to this point. I hope the United States can use the American method you mentioned to solve this disaster.  I'm afraid I don't have much time left for you. "Bang, Kennedy said bluffingly: "Are you [China] really not afraid of nuclear war?" "Afraid, how could you not be afraid?  The thermonuclear warheads of strategic nuclear missiles roared into the atmosphere at the same time. These thermonuclear warheads exploded over densely populated big cities. "All the material achievements that mankind has spent hundreds of years building will be destroyed in one day." Millions of people will be destroyed.  "Human life will be reduced to ashes in this moment." Who can not be afraid of such a result?  You are a politician, and you know best for the benefit of the country." In order to prevent your country from suffering this kind of destruction, in order to protect the people of your own country from this kind of disaster, there must be some countries to bear this kind of destruction, and there must be some  People have to bear these disasters, even though some of these people are absolutely innocent." What Li Dawei said was not just a threat to the United States. He knew very well that [China] does not have the absolute power to occupy the Americas and Europe."  [China]'s navy is not strong enough, especially since [China] does not have a foothold in Europe and the United States, but it still has the ability to use nuclear weapons to destroy American industries, so [China] is not worried about a head-on conflict with the United States.  In fact, a direct conflict has already occurred. What does China have to fear? It is time for a showdown with the United States. China is ready for a nuclear war with the United States, but this kind of nuclear means is not available.  It should not be used lightly as a last resort. Li Dawei and Jiao Feng are slightly different on this point. Jiao Feng advocates the use of nuclear weapons to "solve the United States once and for all while the U.S. missile technology is still immature."  And Li Dawei even more agreed with the political strategy of the supreme leader to defeat the enemy without fighting.  Although he does not know the current "real" thoughts and bottom line of the United States, the fact that this high-level delegation from the United States hastily arrived in Beijing shows that the United States still does not want to go to war with "China" in Asia. At least the United States  The government is choosing between war and peace. At this time of indecision, it is absolutely necessary to put some psychological pressure on the United States and conduct psychological warfare. "HI, David, you  He looks better than in the morning.  What else are you talking about?  "U.S. Secretary of State Lasker led an elegant American girl to the drinks counter and greeted Li Dawei very enthusiastically. At the same time, he introduced his daughter who was studying at Peking University to Li Dawei,"  , Anne, come and meet me, this is Mr. David Lee, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of China.  "It's not David Lee, it's Lidawei." Lasker's daughter gently corrected her father's pronunciation and the order of his first and last name in English. Then he took a step forward, generously stretched out his hand to shake hands with Li Dawei, and said with a  "Hello, Uncle Li! Hua Mei, a fourth-year history student at Peking University." "Hello, classmate Hua Mei!" Li Dawei shook hands with Anne, the daughter of US Secretary of State Lasker.  I asked with great concern: "How are you in Beijing? Are you used to life?", "Everything is fine." I have been to Beijing for a long time, and I am very used to everything.  ", Anne replied with a smile. "Okay, I've been here for more than five years.  Li Dawei asked enthusiastically like an elder, "Classmate Huamei, please graduate soon. What are your plans?"  ", "I want to find a job in Beijing and study for a master's degree at Renmin University while working.  "Anne replied seriously. "Okay, be ambitious!  Let me know if you have any difficulties and I will try my best to help you solve them.  " Then Li Dawei turned to the US Secretary of State and said: "Mr. Lasker, you have done a great job keeping secrets. Anne has been in [China] for more than five years, and why haven't I heard you talk about it?  " Lasker thought to himself, this David, Lee is really good at acting. Could you not know that my daughter is coming to China? Even if you didn't know before, you should know after I become the US Secretary of State. But in my heart,  I want to say: "I'm afraid it will cause trouble to you. Besides, let's talk about the child."Facing a new world on her own was also an exercise for her.  Didn't she have a good life in the past?  Haha, it was Anne's own decision to study in China.  ", "Uncle Li, it's not too late for you to know now, and I will ask you to take more care of me in the future.  Hua Mei lost no time and said, "Uncle Li, I want to take a photo with you."  " Huamei took off the small domestic digital camera hanging around her neck [center], handed it to her father and told Lasker how to use it. Then she took Li Dawei's left arm and made a very intimate gesture.  The posture and a very sweet expression left a "capital" for his future development in China. Afterwards, Kennedy poured a cup of black tea for himself and poured more into the black tea.  He bought some beef n¨£i and put two cubes of sugar in the tea cup, then stirred it slowly and skillfully with a spoon. He watched Li Dawei take a photo with Annie. When Annie left, he said to Li Dawei:  "David, it is understandable that China requires the United States not to get involved in Asian affairs and that Asian affairs should be resolved by Asians themselves.  You know that the United States has huge interests in Asia. You ask us to withdraw all US troops stationed in Asia. Who will protect the interests of the United States?  The existence of the United States in Asia is formed by history. The United States implements "m¨¦n Romanism" and also assures Europe that the United States will not interfere in European affairs, including the affairs of Europe's existing colonies in the Americas. This is respect for history. You are now  The claims made have no international basis or historical basis. "Li Dawei saw that US President's National Security Assistant Ben Kennedy was still unwilling to give up on the US withdrawal from Asia, and tried to use the history of Western colonists to explain the situation.  Li Dawei pointed to an empty table near the window and made an inviting gesture.  Then the three people each held their own drinks and sat around the table.  After Li Dawei saw everyone sitting down, he took a sip of tea and said to Bang Kennedy: The so-called fact that history has passed.  I don¡¯t know, what era of history do you mean by history?  Historically, Asia has been Asia for Asians, just as Europe has been Europe for Europeans.  To talk about history, let¡¯s start with the history of America that you are familiar with.  The indigenous people of the Americas are Indians. They crossed the Bering Strait from Asia or reached the American continent through the frozen strait land bridge about 40,000 years ago.  It was 92 years before the European Columbus arrived in the Americas. Then in 99 years, the Italian explorer Amerigo accompanied the fleet led by the Portuguese Ojeda from the sea to the American continent along the route that Columbus had taken and used his  The so-called New World was named America. Then Spain and Portugal took the lead in immigrating to the Americas, and later the Netherlands, Britain, and France also immigrated there.  The first Western colonial country is your United States.  ¡± zhUZhudao.com
