Chapter 454: When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid
Ambassador Liao was also a smart man, and he understood what she meant after a little thought.
A few days later, the news that Lin Siqiao had quit the matter spread back to China, along with a joint official letter from more than 20 embassies in Western Europe.
Since Minister Wu was dismissed, all affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are now temporarily taken over by Vice Minister Feng.
After reading the contents of the official letter, Vice Minister Feng sighed in worry.
What do you call this? He was only three months away from retirement, but ended up being saddled with such a difficult situation.
Don’t the higher-ups really think that he can handle this?
The secretary wanted to help his leader solve the problem, but he had just glanced at the contents of the official letter. To put it simply, these ambassadors had united and asked their superiors to allocate funds as soon as possible.
You should know that in the past ten months, the embassy has not received a penny from the country, and all expenses were earned with the help of Comrade Lin.
Comrade Lin is not the one who has nothing better to do than to take on the task. She accepted the task out of consideration for the country and Minister Wu.
As a result, she and Minister Wu worked hard for so long and helped the country earn so much foreign exchange, but in the end they got no credit and were instead smeared with mud.
They really want to ask, do these people still have any heart?
Now that things have come to this, they no longer have the face to ask Comrade Lin to do this or that for them.
I won’t say anything else. Just hurry up and remit the money to them. It’s not easy for them abroad. Everything from food, drink, toilet and urination costs money.
Before Vice Minister Feng could figure out how to write the report, his secretary came over with a long stack of documents.
"This...what is this?" Deputy Minister Feng now gets a headache whenever he sees the document.
The secretary said in a cryptic way, "These are official letters sent back from embassies in Asia, Africa, South America, North America, and Oceania."
As of now, there are 104 countries in the world that have formally established diplomatic relations with China. After learning about Minister Wu’s experience, these ambassadors all chose to stand up.
It really proves the saying that when one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid!
The secretary hesitated for a moment and said, "Leader, this matter has become so serious that it is no longer just a problem of internal conflict among the people. How about you ask for instructions from the higher-ups?"
After all, they have been partners for many years. After the secretary reminded him, Deputy Minister Feng immediately understood.
So he handed over this hot potato that afternoon.
The person in charge of this matter was none other than the previous leader named Zhang. At the beginning of the year, he disappeared for a long time because of his nephew's corruption and fraud case.
Now that he has come to power, the first thing he does is naturally to seek justice for any grievances and to take revenge for any grudges.
In fact, the leader surnamed Zhang not only had conflicts with Minister Wu, but he also spent most of his time in the Shanghai Stock Exchange in recent years.
All the officials, big and small, in Shanghai had to give him face when they met him, but the Lu family just refused to listen and has not taken sides so far.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to drag General Lu's granddaughter-in-law into the water, but who knew that the old fox Wu Changqing (Minister Wu) would intervene and disrupt all his subsequent plans.
Suppressing Minister Wu was part of the plan, there is nothing to say about it.
But he didn't expect that those usually silent "loose sand" would actually unite together for an irrelevant person this time.
The problem is that these people are all abroad and they don’t buy into the domestic practices.
Another member of the team saw that he was frowning and smiled.
"It's not a big deal. Look how worried you are. It's just money. Just approve it."
Leader Zhang glanced at him and said, "Why not? Look for yourself. What these people are asking for is not a small amount. I want to approve it, but the Foreign Exchange Bureau has been crying poor, saying that there is not much foreign exchange in the account at the end of the year, so where will the money come from to give them?"
These words make the State Administration of Foreign Exchange want to cry. They are not just crying about being poor, they really have no money!
Even though the country exports a lot of agricultural and sideline products to foreign countries throughout the year, these things cannot be sold at a high price.
This little income is not enough to pay the country's final interest on the 43 Plan.
"What do we do now?"
The man lit a cigarette for the leader named Zhang, and the two of them sat in the office puffing smoke.
"What can I do? Just drag it out."
Leader Zhang glanced in the direction of the door and then lowered his voice.
"His health is getting worse day by day. The last time I saw him, he couldn't even get out of bed."
The man understood what he meant. Judging from the woman's condition, it should only take a year or two. Maybe it won't take that long.
He also lowered his voice and said, "That person has been admitted to the intensive care unit. Did you know about this?"
"When did it happen?"
"Just last week..."
The man was interrupted by the ringing of the phone on his desk before he could finish his words.
The leader surnamed Zhang picked up the phone and said "Hello".
The man had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. He just leisurely picked up the teacup. When he looked up, he found that Lao Zhang's expression was not right.
A few minutes later, the leader named Zhang hung up the phone, and the man asked hurriedly.
"Old Zhang, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy? Who called just now?"
At this moment, leader Zhang no longer had the high spirits he had just now.
"You're talking?"
After the man asked again, Zhang finally came to his senses, "Yes...it's Secretary-General Tan!"
Secretary-General Tan is that person's personal secretary. In the past six months, he has attended all of that person's meetings on his behalf. It can be said that Secretary-General Tan's every move represents that person.
"What did Secretary Tan say?"
After the man finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, "Is it that he..."
