Chapter 1842 - 1842: 1842
In Johnsen's life experience, he had never seen such a politically talented young man.
In his admiration, such a young man deservedly is the founding father of the Wale Republic, a creator of great achievements.
They talked politics and ideals in the limousine, freedom and equality, democracy and civil rights, as well as life and the global situation, leaving them feeling a mutual appreciation, a sense of meeting too late and a cross-generational friendship.
Moreover, it was quite miraculous that right in Johnson's car, they achieved many remarkable diplomatic results and established relevant diplomatic alliances.
All this was due to the facts, the spirit of contracts, mutual appreciation, and the pursuit and maintenance of modern civilization.
By the time Liu Zhizhong and Johnsen got out of the car, they were already as close as friends and confidants, almost putting their arms around each other and walking into 10 Tanglong Street, the Prime Minister's office.
At the Prime Minister's office, they, along with their attendants, entered a straightforward and efficient formal meeting, all characterized by pragmatism and based on sincerity, allowing everything to be discussed freely and easily.
Moreover, Liu Zhizhong didn't even need an English translator, speaking fluently in a British accent, which stunned everyone. Coupled with a gentlemanly steadiness and unique dry humor, the meeting proceeded enjoyably and interestingly.
In just one and a half afternoons local time, Liu Zhizhong, representing the Wale Republic, and England reached ten major cooperation agreements, covering finance, technology, industry, national defense, environmental protection, and political fields.
Especially Liu Zhizhong proposed the need to recruit more leadership talents in administrative management from England, hoping to get Mr. Johnsen's support.
After all, Johnsen himself holds dual PhDs in finance and political science, and his connections in leadership talent are quite commendable!
Johnsen jokingly said, "Are you not afraid that I'll send spy English teachers to you?"
Liu Zhizhong and his entourage immediately got the joke but only smiled faintly.
Liu Zhizhong said, "Talent from around the world is for the Wale Republic's use, even if they are spies, so what? The Wale Republic doesn't advocate outward expansion, military coercion, or invasion, only pursuing national and civilian welfare, creating, guaranteeing, and safeguarding citizens' rights. I don't think any spy can do anything useful in our country?"
Such a statement received a burst of laughter and applause, bringing the meeting to an even sweeter moment, with universal joy.
Johnsen also expressed that various talents, including military ones, England could provide, as long as they are willing to go. Of course, with the emerging working environment in the Wale Republic, surely anyone not foolish would want to go. And foolish people can't be considered talents.
Everyone laughed, continuing in a cheerful and harmonious manner.
Later, Liu Zhizhong also brought up an issue, which was Eastern Pot's recent series of operations.
Johnsen immediately revealed his understanding, saying: "Mr. President, being of Huazhong descent, opening frontiers and establishing a great legacy, is a pride of your nation and race."
"However, your race has a different set of rules, I won't elaborate, you are aware of this. Choosing our country for your first visit is both our honor and the honor of world civilization, yet simultaneously your misfortune."
"According to our assessment, the development direction of the Wale Republic is westward, not eastward. To certain levels in the Eastern Pot, this is quite intolerable, and behind the intolerance is retribution until you succumb."
"Whether it's tiered hydroelectric stations, or new energy battery industries, or Myanmar's so-called territorial disputes, all are aimed at the Wale Republic. But rest assured, on the international stage, the Wale Republic will inevitably become a victim, and the English people will stand with you."
"The international order requires harmonious coexistence, the process of civilization is mutual tolerance and understanding, not coercion of strengths and weaknesses. At that time, you will have international law for support, and the backing of mainstream world civilization, without much difficulty."
Such words truly empowered Liu Zhizhong, an incredibly substantial backbone of expression!
To be honest, this is the personal charm of Liu Zhizhong; it is the appeal generated by the structural advantages of the Wale Republic; it is the resonance of world civilization; it is the benefit of standing with the right side.
As of now, the external investment support/contribution for building the Wale Republic in various aspects is received without yet giving back. Naturally, returns from the support of mainstream developed countries like England are inevitable.
The modern world is, essentially, business, but those in business uphold integrity, respect the rights of people, so all business is kind-hearted. Thus, modern capital is not malevolent; if someone uses the name of capital to deceive the public, then capital becomes utterly evil. The utterly evil capital obviously comes from the hands of liars and manipulators!
After the meeting ended, all documents that needed to be signed were signed, all were joyful. Such a meeting was not conducted behind closed doors but with the doors of 10 Tanglong Street wide open, live broadcasted, and seen worldwide! Only when Johnsen and Liu Zhizhong were discussing Eastern Pot's retaliation was the broadcast temporarily cut due to the sensitivity of the content, to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Thus, Liu Zhizhong's influence further expanded worldwide. This young man, making his debut on the world stage, is truly remarkable!
Johnsen even added temporarily after the signing, saying: "On behalf of the British Parliament, I invite Mr. President to deliver a speech tomorrow morning in Parliament, would you grace us with your presence, Mr. President?"
Wow...
This request is truly an enormous honor!
For Liu Zhizhong, is there any reason to refuse?
Everyone watching the live broadcast globally, whether officials or their aides, or those concerned with politics, were stunned, waiting for Liu Zhizhong's response!
Even within the Wale Republic, parliamentary representatives watching the live broadcast burst into cheers and applause.
After all, President Chi Zhongshui's first England visit so far has been highly successful. He personally gained England's respect, and the Wale Republic gained respect globally.
Immediately, Liu Zhizhong happily accepted Johnsen's invitation and added: "A speech at the British Parliament isn't an easy task, but since I agreed, I will do it well. By the way, Prime Minister, will the members debate with me, is there such an arrangement?"
