After Nong Lie met with Elena, he asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs to accompany him, settled down first, and then communicated the matter with Sutu alone.
When Sutu heard this, he thought it was a good idea, but he didn't understand Nong Lie's true intentions. He was worried that he was just testing himself, so he didn't dare to make a clear statement, just saying that this approach had advantages and disadvantages.
Nong Lie further asked what are the pros and cons?
Sutu answered cautiously: "As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The same is true for a country. If you face a big country, even if the country is poor and backward, if any country wants to swallow it, it will not be that big. Appetite, and it will arouse the jealousy of other countries."
"This is why two or three hundred years ago, after the warships and artillery of country V had conquered the African continent, even if they began their cruel and barbaric colonial system, they did not advocate a unified African continent, but divided and ruled it, using each The conflicts between the tribes and the various ethnic groups strengthened their colonial rule."
"If we really form a **** country with country N, the land area will double and the population will double. For countries in the world, our resources and market will also double."
"If any more ambitious country wants to swallow it, other countries will probably not sit back and watch. Even their allies will probably not sit on the sidelines."
"Furthermore, we combine the strength of the two countries. Once we develop, the speed is unstoppable. It is like a rock rolling down from the top of a mountain. The bigger the rock, the faster the rolling speed and the longer the rolling distance."
Nong Lie felt the same about this, so he asked, "What about the drawbacks?"
Sutu smiled awkwardly: "Since the **** country is established, the main power will be concentrated on the ****. The **** of the two countries is allied, who will listen to it?"
Nong Lie said, "Listen to General Fan!"
Sutu grinned reluctantly again: "If you listen to General Fan, then the power of you and the highest official of the N country will be weakened to a certain extent anyway. Are you and the highest official of the N country willing?"
Nong Lie only reacted at this time and smiled and patted Sutu on the shoulder and said, "I understand what you mean. You are worried that I have just taken over the position and power of the Supreme Chief, and I have not had time to use it.
It's much worse than in the past, and I must be unhappy in my heart, right? "
Sutu nodded and said: "People have the same heart, and the same heart. If you are any person, I am afraid that you have this idea."
Nong Lie sighed: "Think about the people of our country seven years ago, whether it is power or freedom, can they be compared with today? If it weren't for General Fan to lead us in the uprising, you and I would still sit and watch the sky in this tribe and be able to protect one party. Ping An is already grateful to God, where else can I control other compatriots?"
"If General Fan is an ambitious person, he could completely stand on his own as king seven years ago, whether it is in the hands of Mr. Aruga, me, or other tribes, I am afraid no one will accept it."
"And there was one thing at the beginning, I don't know if you know it?"
Sutu replied, "Are you talking about the one who appointed Arugal as the supreme officer?"
"Yes." Nong Lie said: "In fact, we were not convinced at the time, and even willing to directly elect General Fan as the supreme officer, and strongly urged him to join the nationality of State S. He resolutely refused, and repeatedly emphasized that State S must have a member of State S himself. Governance."
"In that case, we had to agree with him to elect Aruga as the supreme officer."
Sutu nodded and said, "Only tribal leaders attended that meeting. I heard Aruga say afterwards."
Nong Lie said: "General Fan is not an ambitious person. Let him be the highest official of the **** country, mainly to allow him to build up the confidence of the two peoples, especially when foreign enemies invade or open up the whole country. Under construction, we have reached a consistent pace."
"With what you and I know about General Fan, he will never interfere in the specific matters of our two countries, let alone deprive us of power."
"To put it bluntly, he will become the top executive of the **** in the future, similar to the current United Nations or the African Union. It will only help the security and development of our two countries, and will never endanger the interests of any of us. ."
"As for myself, I am almost 60 years old now, and I am unable to govern the country. More importantly, who can take over my post after me?"
"If we leave all important matters to General Fan, and then concentrate on handling some of our country’s daily affairs, I think this is a win-win situation.
This does not exist, I will prevent the establishment of the **** country because of the inferior power in my hands. "
When Sutu heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up to Nong Lie: "Your Excellency, your broad-mindedness and far-sightedness make Sutu admire you! The question is that you can't do it, what about the highest officer of N country?"
Nong Lie smiled and said: "Don't worry, during the last civil war, he took the initiative to propose a coalition between the two countries. Seeing that posture, he was anxious to establish a two-state coalition government."
"Now he has appointed General Fan as the top executive officer. According to the latest news, he also hopes that his daughter will marry General Fan."
"That is to say, even if we do not establish a **** country, he has the desire to cede the position of the top official of the N country to Fan Jianming. If I propose this to him, will he still object?"
Sutu immediately nodded and said: "Especially when they face the possibility of a war in country V, our joining will double the strength of the entire country. He probably has no reason to refuse."
For the sake of prudence, Nong Lie immediately convened a cabinet meeting and stated his intention to the cabinet members.
He is the highest official, and the establishment of the **** country to bear the brunt of the weakening of his power, he does not oppose, who will oppose it?
In particular, Fan Jianming's prestige in the S country has been so prestigious, not only within the government, but even the general public love him extremely.
Nong Lie's proposal was quickly approved by the cabinet meeting.
After the meeting ended, Nong Lie called the highest official of N country as soon as possible.
The supreme official of Country N said to Fan Jianming with emotion: "I really didn't expect that General Nong Lie was really convinced of you and respected him. After receiving his call, I didn't say anything, and I immediately agreed. Following his suggestion, we are ready to merge the two into one and establish a **** nation."
After listening to this, Fan Jianming smiled deeply, not knowing how to express his position.
Upon seeing this, the highest official added another sentence: "I said, Your Excellency Executive, don’t be humble and reject this matter. This is not only related to your personal interests, but more importantly, this matter involves The long-term stability of our two countries involves whether we can win country V in this war!"
