Operator:
请别挂上电话 {Hold the line please}… [soft music]...
General Li Zuocheng:
General Milley? This is quite the surprise call. What may we be of assistance to you for?
General Milley:
General Li Zuocheng, such a pleasure to speak to you again.
General Li Zuocheng:
We have spoken before?
General Milley:
Yes, of course we have. You and I have known each other for at least five years. Don’t you remember?
General Li Zuocheng:
… Uhm… Sure I do… sure I do… So, what can we do for you?
General Milley:
Oh, nothing special. How are the wife and kids?
General Li Zuocheng:
Who’s wife and kids?
General Milley:
Yours of course…
General Li Zuocheng:
I’m not married, and I don’t have kids. Look, I’m very grateful for your call, but I’m actually in the middle of…
General Milley:
Oh, I’m sorry, I must have confused you with someone else… Maybe it was the Japanese guy…
General Li Zuocheng:
I can understand that. And I wish you all the best in finding him. Please don’t hesitate to call me again should you have other friends you might need to identify. I’ll have my secretary print out a transcript of our call and publish it for the records. Good bye…
General Milley:
No wait, please hold on. I actually wanted to speak to you about a grave situation we’re in, which could potentially catastrophically affect the People Republic of China on an existential level.
Background noise:
他说的是哪门子事呀 {What the hell is he on about?} [Unknown source]
General Li Zuocheng:
Look… Uhm… look… OK, what the… what are you referring to?
General Milley:
I just thought that I would give you a call to reassure you, that’s all…
General Li Zuocheng:
General Milley, please understand that my time allowance for this call is limited, so please take all the time you need in the next… say 30 seconds… to establish a rational reason to prolong this time allowance…
General Milley:
OK, OK, no need to be snappy about it…
General Li Zuocheng:
Oh, I do apologize if what I said could be understood as ‘snappy’. Believe me when I say that I didn’t think it would be, and apparently you didn’t think, so we’re both kind of guilty…
[Long awkward pause]
General Li Zuocheng:
So, General, you were saying?
General Milley:
Oh yes… so I wanted to call you to reassure you and tell you that were not going to annihilate you for now.
General Li Zuocheng:
I’m sorry, could you please repeat that? I think there’s some problem with the line. I thought I heard something about annihilation.
General Milley:
Well yes… I mean… ‘annihilation’ might be a bit strong… let me rephrase… ‘extermination’?… nah, probably worse… ‘eradication’… no… what I actually meant to say is that we won’t be bombing you.
Background:
[whispering and mumbling, unintelligible]
General Li Zuocheng:
… Well… I don’t really know what to say… I mean, don’t get me wrong, this is great news… We’re all very delighted and relieved… but… uhm… I mean, it’s always good to be reassured… and… and who are you again?
General Milley:
I am General Marc Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Military.
General Li Zuocheng:
Oh, I see... Well then… In that case, please convey to President Trump our great appreciation for this gesture, and in the spirit of reciprocation please assure him that, we will not annihilate, exterminate, eradicate nor obliterate the Beautiful United States of America either. We would also appreciate if you could also convey that we never had any such intention.
So, I think we’ve covered all the bases, as you say in the American Military [background laughing] , so with that, I wish you a great day and I look forward to hearing from you again. Good bye…
General Milley:
No wait… wait… you don’t understand… It’s the President… It’s the President… he’s not going to attack… he won’t… I won’t let him…
General Li Zuocheng:
You’ve already established that he won’t attack, so…
General Milley:
No he won’t. I won’t let him… You see, we had an election here in the US. And…
General Li Zuocheng:
[laughing] Yes, I heard about that…
Background:
[loud bursts of laughing]
General Milley:
… and he totally lost, all totally legit, and now he’s inflamed with rage…
[Short pause]
General Li Zuocheng:
… and…
General Milley:
… but you don’t understand… I mean… It’s really serious…
General Li Zuocheng:
From what I’ve read so far about your elections, I would agree that it is very serious…
General Milley:
No, not the elections… It’s President Trump. He’s totally enraged.
General Li Zuocheng:
Well, you know, there is a saying in China that goes… let me see… something like this: “If the woman who has intercourse with all the senile man’s donkeys, ends up stealing your farm, then…”
Background:
[whispers and laughter]
General Milley:
No no no, it’s not about that. It’s about the rage. You know… WHITE RAGE
Background:
[eruption of laughter]
General Li Zuocheng:
… I see... [short pause]... Is there any way we somehow could taint this rage?
Background:
[continuing outbursts of laughter]
General Milley:
It’s not funny. It’s extremely serious.
General Li Zuocheng:
Oh, I apologize if it sounded like we were humorous… and we do understand your concerns about White Rage… In fact, I find it surprising that you haven’t yet been able to find a solution, as I presume that you also have participated in the US Military Academy’s world renown course on “Critical Rage Theory” …
Background:
[new eruption of laughter]
General Milley:
It’s called “Critical Race Theory”!
Background:
[continuing laughter]
General Li Zuocheng:
Oh, I’m sorry. In China we only have one critical race… The Chinese race… It’s a cultural thing, as you President Biden so eloquently put it…
So… so far we have established that the US won’t attack us, and we won’t attack the US. We’ve also established that President Trump, according to you, is in some kind of colorblind rage because of the election. All very interesting, but what are we supposed to take from this information? I mean, what is the purpose of this information sharing?
General Milley:
Well, I thought it would be in the best interest of… I mean… I think… you know, I just wanted to reassure you that we’re not going to attack you. You have my word. We’re not going to attack you, and if we do, we will warn you in advance, so it won’t come as a surprise.
Background:
[extensive mumbling in the background, unintelligible]
General Li Zuocheng:
So, you’re saying that we have your personal word as a US General that if the President of the United states issues and order for attack on the PRC you will personally block such an order and take full command of the US military, and yet, if you then upon taking command decide to attack the PRC anyway, you’ll be warning us ahead of time?
General Milley:
Exactly. You’re spot on. Well… I guess… I mean, yes, but with some qualification… it’s very complicated you know… You see, I’m not alone in this. I’ve spoken with all the senior leadership of the Democrat party… that’s actually a political party in the US…
General Li Zuocheng:
… yes, I’m familiar with the political structure in the United States…
General Milley:
… yeah… so, I’ve spoken with them, and everybody’s in on it, so it’s not just me…
General Li Zuocheng:
… I see… and uhm… uhm… and… and in your country, this is acceptable procedure and protocol?
General Milley:
Of course it is. We’re a Democracy you know. It’s for the better of both the peoples of US and China. We’re all in it together. It’s the equitable way of fortification of our Democracy. And above all, it’s very inclusive…
General Li Zuocheng:
…hmmm… I see...
General Milley:
So… Do we understand each other…
General Li Zuocheng:
… [short pause]... General, I’m not entirely sure… [sigh]… I mean, I fully understand you and your message. But I’m entirely convinced that you do not understand me. In fact, I’m not even sure you understand the term “Democracy”. In fact, I even doubt that you even have the faintest appreciation of what the “United States Constitution” means. I don’t mean to be insensitive, but I will nevertheless explain our position on the matters that you have put forward.
Until this call, the People’s Republic of China had always considered the United States of America to be what is referred to as a “Constitutional Republic”. In the Chinese Military Academy, we study the various types of governance applied throughout the world, and we are actually taught the differences. What you are achieving with this call is to remind us of how far the institutions of the USA have distanced themselves from the originating ideas of the US Constitution. We are of course astutely taking notes of your propositions, and will obviously enact appropriate policies reflecting this new reality.
Nevertheless, The People of China have no interest in meddling or becoming involved in the internal affairs of the USA. The USA is a sovereign country and politically unconnected to the PRC, and hence, we see all this as none of our business.
However, that being said, the Internal affairs of China is our business, and when we are forced to evaluate external threats and/or opportunities toward our country and the appropriate measures to be taken in respect to these, we equally have our particular procedures and protocols.
Perhaps it is one of the more peculiar Chinese cultural quirks associated with such protocols that we do not tolerate ANY Military Official, regardless of Grade, to be going behind the back of, and/or undermining Our Commander in Chief. In fact, one of the more interesting aspects of this particular cultural quirk is that we are able to find interesting and excruciating new ways to execute the culpable swiftly, without discussion or hesitation but sometimes with a little fanfare. This of course after a duly conducted Chinese trial.
Therefore, I respectfully suggest that in order to fulfill your … how shall I put it… ‘uncustomary quest’ towards your somewhat obscure goal, you may consider the following advice, that I offer in friendship and the spirit of mutual corporation.
First, I would suggest that you call your NATO partners to ensure the necessary coordination that most probably would be expected in an alliance like NATO.
Second, once you’ve established a… how do you say… ‘common front’, you should choose a World Leader of significant importance and gravitas, and NOT a civil servant, to place a call to our Chairman XI directly, thus avoiding any incidental appearance of misconduct and deceit. Further, it would eliminate the perception of the US Military command unilaterally trying to have Chinese Officials try to circumvent their own Commander in Chief, Chairman Xi.
I’ll have my secretary send you Chairman Xi’s facebook link. Have a very nice day. Goodbye.
General Milley:
Yes but, General…
General Li Zuocheng:
[hanging up]
General Milley:
[apparently speaking to himself] Damn… oh well, that went well I think… [hanging up]
