Chapter 292 Hun Sen's ambition
Chapter 292 Hun Sen's Ambition
Kampong, at the southernmost tip of Cambodia, is the largest deep-water port in Cambodia and an extremely charming existence. In the future, it will be the most famous resort in Southeast Asia and one of the most prosperous places in the entire Southeast Asia.
But in 1979, although there were no sea view villas and coastal resorts at that time, Kampong was born with all these characteristics. If someone invested huge amounts of money to develop there, it would become a huge black hole for money in more than ten years. It would be difficult for those who owned this treasure land to make a fortune even if they did not make a fortune.
In fact, Wen Feng also knew that Kampong Xun would be renamed by 1993, and its name would become Sihanoukville City, and its port would be called Sihanoukville Port. Unfortunately, Kampong Xun is not called this name yet. Now, because of its charming scenery, it is highly praised by some Cambodian locals and has more residents.
The literary style naturally did not mean to offend Prince Sihanouk. Although he also knew that in Cambodia, in addition to the deep-water port of Kampong, there were also several offshore islands suitable for Chinese military bases, but who made Kampong not yet called Sihanouk City? If Kampong wanted to be a Chinese naval base, it would have to be much more than the offshore islands.
Therefore, Wen Feng shamelessly left a regiment of troops there, saying that he wanted to be prepared for Pol Pot to come back from there, but in fact, anyone with some vision could see that Wen Feng's drunkenness was no longer drunk.
Hun Sen is undoubtedly a very skilled politician. Anyway, his writing style has already put on his posture. He must get it. Cambodia does not seem to have the strength to compete with China. Besides, with China's increasing influence in Cambodia, if Hun Sen and Han Sanglin really want to take office, they must get China's support. Otherwise, as long as China does not agree, they will not be able to pass the qualifying qualifiers. Then what else will they say about the political high position? Maybe they will be a betrayal dog tomorrow.
Logically speaking, this benefit should be bought by Han Sanglin, but in fact, these politicians are very realistic. Once they see the benefits, they are friends today and may become enemies tomorrow.
Judging from the current government situation in Cambodia, Han Sanglin has undoubtedly a higher status than Hun Sen. If China and Vietnam recognize their government, it is entirely possible that Han Sanglin will become Cambodia's first prime minister.
But in fact? Everyone wants to be the emperor, and Han Sanglin wants to be the emperor, so why doesn’t Hun Sen want to be the emperor?
In the later history, Hun Sen was too young, and it was already surprising that he was the high position of Cambodia's foreign minister. It was even more exaggerated to make him the prime minister. Therefore, in the literary style of writing, it would take more than ten years to become the first person under Prince Sihanouk. Even because of his rise, he had to get out of Taiwan helplessly because of his resistance from the Chinese authorities.
However, that was because China was not very familiar with Southeast Asia at that time, so it didn't have much contact with Hun Sen at that time, and I didn't know that he had such great potential.
But his writing style was different. He knew that although Hun Sen and Han Sanglin both came from the Pol Pot government, their status was very different at that time. When Han Sanglin betrayed Pol Pot, he was a governor of Cambodia and was also a very famous politician.
But what about Hun Sen? Wen Feng knew that this guy's background was even more difficult. He came from the military and had fought hard battles, commanded divisions and was seriously injured in the battle. Legend has it that Hun Sen's wife met when he was injured. At that time, he had a big fuss with Pol Pot for his wife. This may also be an important reason for his betrayal of Pol Pot.
What happened? Wen Feng still felt ridiculous when he remembered that incident. The reason was that Pol Pot didn't know what purpose it was, or was a complete man as he said. This kid actually had a communist and shared wife in Cambodia.
In his words, if men and women in Cambodia want to be united, it cannot be achieved by the desire of men and women. Whoever wants to be united must be designated by the government, that is, the organization asks you to marry accurately, and then you have to marry whom you have to marry. This is a political task, and if anyone does not listen, it is a mistake.
Hun Sen was a mistake at that time because he fell in love with his wife at first sight as soon as he met in the hospital. But the so-called Pol Pot organization at that time wanted to designate another husband for his wife. Hun Sen was also a real man. He got angry about his wife. He heard that he fired an empty gun into the sky in an emergency. He was shocked by the "organization leaders". The matter even went to Pol Pot, but Pol Pot finally let go, and Hun Sen finally got together with his wife.
Wen Feng really wants to know how beautiful the wife of Hun Sen was. She actually made Hun Sen become a beautiful woman. However, some people said that this was actually an official-centered literary style. He could even interfere with the relationship between men and women in the "organization". But I think how much power they have. If they suddenly have bad intentions, then all the beauties in the world will ban corruption for officials. Pol Pot has been a local emperor under the banner of **, so from this point of view, Wen Feng still admires Hun Sen.
At the same time, Wen Feng naturally knew why Hun Sen dared to talk to him, and was not afraid of Han Sanglin's opinion. Hun Sen said that Han Sanglin had too much time to flatter him, which was definitely not bragging.
What is the most important thing for a small country like Cambodia? Don’t doubt it, that is military power!
Although Han Sanglin seems to be the one who is the only one in the government, he still has a high prestige, but in fact he has never sat firmly on his back. For example, the big powers in all worlds know that leaders must seize military power. China has a command gun, and the United States has a confidential box for presidential nuclear bombs! The importance of military power is not to mention in small countries. To put it nicely, if the people in power do not have military power, you will only get out of shame when the military makes a coup, and you will no longer have prestige.
This was the case with Prince Sihanouk back then, and Han Sanglin is the same now, while Hun Sen has something that neither of them has. That is, although he is just a foreign minister in Cambodia, in fact, the government forces of the Cambodian Provisional Government were organized by him. Although he is just a foreign minister, he actually has a strong appeal in the Cambodian military. This is the greatest capital for him to dare to negotiate with Wenfeng.
"Your Excellency, if you really work with me sincerely, I think you can have a deeper talk!"
Hun Sen took a deep breath and felt that the young man in front of him was not as simple as he seemed, but in order to achieve a cooperation with China, he still showed his sincerity:
"The Battambang Province in our country has always been chaotic in management, and all forces have interests in it, but I think if your country is willing to intervene, I can divide Battambang Province into a special economic zone, and your country is responsible for managing all matters, and... and have priority mining rights. We can divide the final benefits by 55%!"
What can Cambodia give to China? What is the most attractive to China?
At that time, Cambodia was recognized as the world's largest grain-producing country and a famous fish and rice land in Southeast Asia. However, these were not attractive to China. Hun Sen would have thought that there was a big card in his hand that Wen Feng wanted. So while he was disturbing his brain, he threw one of the biggest chips in his hand at Wen Feng, and immediately smashed Wen Feng a little dizzy.
Battambang Province! Give a province in China a special economic zone?!
The writing style does not mean that the Battambang province is too big. In fact, Cambodia and Vietnam are in the same shape, and the place names are as big as a palm, and the place names are terrifyingly called each other. In fact, a province in Cambodia is just the size of a medium-sized city in our country.
But the key point is that Hun Sen's statement really surprised Wenfeng, which made him unable to react for a long time. He only felt that his mouth was surging, and the saliva almost couldn't stop it.
You should know that Battambang is really special. As far as you can see, Battambang Province is located in western Cambodia and borders Thailand. The provincial capital Battambang City is the second largest city in Cambodia. It was built in the 11th century and is located on the riverside, 292 kilometers away from Phnom Penh and 80 kilometers away from Siem Reap. Since ancient times, it has been a transportation and trade hub between Cambodia and Thailand.
Battambang is the name of Battambang, the second largest city in Cambodia by local Chinese. In Khmer language, Battambang means "the lost stick of the king", which refers to Battambang, a place of weight since ancient times. The buildings in the city's colonial period were still preserved. Markets, shops, hotels, etc. are concentrated in the city center.
There are many small temples here, mainly distributed on both sides of the river, 8 kilometers north of the city center, and there are temples from the 10th century AD. The temples are inferior to Angkor monuments, but the scenery along the way is quite impressive. After more than ten years, the world's economy has flourished. This is definitely a famous Angkor cultural tourism holy place in Southeast Asia.
At the same time, Wen Feng also knows that Battambang has a long history. During the heyday of Cambodia's ancient national strength, it was in the center of the country and connected the fortresses between the east and west. After the rise of Siam, it ruled Battambang for nearly a hundred years in the 18th to 19th centuries. After World War II, it was occupied by Japan and later ceded to Thailand. It was only taken back by Cambodia after Japan surrendered. It is still an important city for exchanges between Cambodia and Thailand.
Of course, it was not these that made Wen Feng drool. He also knew that Battambang had a name called "Cambodia's granary". Most people were engaged in agriculture and forestry production. In addition to producing rice, agriculture also had corn, sweet potatoes, soybeans, jute, sugarcane, various fruits, etc. The pig farming industry was also very developed. Battambang's status was similar to that of Huguang in our country, which means that Huguang was ripe for the whole world.
Such a large grain producer actually handed over to China, which was to give Cambodia's lifeline to China for custody. Hun Sen's move was the most surrender to China, and he had made a heavy bet.
Wen Feng thought to himself that although his rural responsibility contracting system has been carried out in a small part of Vietnam, Vietnam did not dare to let it go and only conducted trials in some unimportant places. This effect is really hard to say, but if Wen Feng has the opportunity to use Battambang Province as its own testing field, then once the output increases, it will definitely have immediate results. Do you think Wen Feng will be moved?
Of course, in addition to this, there is something that makes the writing style very drooling.
That is, Cambodia is known for its abundant production of rubies and sapphires, and their gem quality is so high that it is famous all over the world. However, most of the known rubies and sapphires in Cambodia are in the Bailing area of Battambang Province. As early as the 19th century, people dug in these areas. It is said that their reserves are considerable, but the specific situation is that the border between Battambang Province and Thailand has caused the faction there to be extremely complex. The government cannot control local private mining, so no one has been to explore it yet.
Ruby, and sapphire!
That is definitely the most irresistible thing for any woman in the world. It is said that women have a special hobby that is as devastating as a giant dragon, that is, they have almost no ability to resist shiny and beautiful things.
The current price of gems is bargain for writing style, and it doesn’t take thirty years. Just wait for twenty years. In the past twenty years of economic development, the prices of rubies and sapphires will increase by at least ten times.
But now Hun Sen handed over such a province to Wen Feng and gave him priority mining here. What does this mean? Wen Feng saw that the sky was full of money flying, and the gem was shining so bright that his eyes couldn't even open. This temptation was too strong, Wen Feng really didn't think about it!
"I wonder how you feel about your advice?"
Wen Feng was so shocked by the news from Hun Sen that he was dull and didn't know what to say. Instead, when Hun Sen saw Wen Feng's face was strange, he felt extremely nervous, and instead asked carefully.
"What do you... do you want?" After hearing Hun Sen's question, Wen Feng finally recovered. Then Wen Feng immediately thought that the cake of Battambang was very attractive, but it was definitely not that easy to get.
Wen Feng knew that Hun Sen had no choice but to do so, and he also used his thoughts.
In fact, Battambang is very famous in Southeast Asia, and its existence has always been an unstable factor in Southeast Asia. The border between Thailand and Cambodia is obviously much weaker than Thailand. If Battambang had been occupied by Thailand many years ago, although Cambodia finally brought Battambang back, Thailand has ruled there for many years, and various local forces are deeply rooted. After the guerrillas in Pol Pot had been active in Battambang Province, the armed forces there were also quite rampant. So far, although Cambodia knows that there are many gems available for mining, they have not even obtained as many private accounts in the past year.
There are two intentions to hand over Battambang Province to China. One is to take the opportunity to pay China well, and the other is to hope that China can deter Thailand there and calm the chaos there. It has to be said that although Hun Sen gave a big cake, the cake was bloody.
However, whether he was bloody or not, Hun Sen gave Wen Feng such a great benefit, which really made him unable to refuse. So Wen Feng gritted his teeth and thought to himself that even though I knew that this cake was not delicious, I had to eat him for the colorful money.
"First of all, I hope your country can support our democratic and liberal regime with separation of monarchy and regimes, and at the same time I hope Prince Sihanouk will return to the country to preside over the overall situation!"
Don't doubt it, Hun Sen's proposal was expected by Wen Feng. Hun Sen himself had suffered from the communist and his wife, so it is completely understandable that he was born with fear of **. In fact, he didn't know that Wen Feng also had it, but Wen Feng has escaped from the gem maze, and there was no trace of strangeness at this time.
"What else?"
This is the critical stage of negotiations. Wen Feng knew that he could not easily sell his bottom line for a little benefit. Although the interests had far exceeded his goal, this kid still pretended to be undeniable. Although Hun Sen knew that China had begun to undergo major changes in recent years, when he thought of China, the legendary country, Wen Feng was furious when he did not hear his request, he was already very satisfied.
"I hope China can support me as Vice Premier and Foreign Minister of the Government of the People's Republic of Cambodia. I will form a cabinet with Comrade Han Sanglin to allow this country that has been mottled by war to resume production as soon as possible and move towards peace again!"
To be honest, based on the history he knew thirty-three years later, Wen Feng was ready to let Hun Sen open his mouth, but the final result really disappointed him very much. Hun Sen's ambition and vision seemed to have not reached that point, which made Wen Feng very speechless, as if he was going to give a watermelon, but someone picked up a sesame seed. Hun Sen couldn't understand this feeling, but Wen Feng felt something was wrong. This girl's ambition was so small. I'm sorry that I have made so many preparations?
“Is there any more?”
Seeing Hun Sen so carefully and looking at him with a gaze, Wen Feng felt that he had taken too much advantage and felt a little embarrassed!
"The other is... I hope that China can give us the best national treatment just like it is to deal with the brotherly country Vietnam. If I may hope that Director Wen can help us gain more foreign investment, I ask China to increase the opportunities for special economic zones in our country in addition to Battambang Province. If this is true, I will be grateful!"
No...no, looking at Hun Sen, who seemed to be honest, Wen Feng really wanted to laugh a lot. Now someone finally asked him to help build a special economic zone. Is that because Vietnam has tasted the sweetness, Cambodia can't wait? Wen Feng was so proud of himself. He really wanted to find someone to tell him...
