Chief Su's expression was very bad. In his opinion, Jiang Donglie was simply treating him like a child to fool him. The demand for weapons and supplies was constantly changing, and after Korea became independent, he would not forget your love for our people.
I am afraid that even pigs will laugh at this kind of big talk and empty talk in future generations.
Thinking of this, Su Rui decided not to go around in circles with this guy anymore, and said directly: "Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Donglie, can you be more specific? How will you repay us?"
"Ah...this?"
Jiang Donglie was also shocked for a while. He didn't expect that the foreign general in front of him had such a straightforward personality. He had already directly asked about the reward in person. Faced with Su Rui's unceremonious approach of asking for favors in person, Jiang Dong was not prepared at all.
, I was choked to the point of being speechless for a moment.
In Jiang Donglie's opinion, Chinese people are the most concerned about face. This can be seen from China's thousands of years of history. The loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness advocated by Confucianism have been highly praised by rulers of all dynasties.
. And generally speaking, the imperial court was very tolerant to the outside world, which was in sharp contrast to its harshness and cruelty internally.
Take Korea as an example. The Battle of Korea during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty was an international war that took place on the Korean Peninsula more than 300 years ago. Japanese history books divide the Wanli Battle of Korea into two wars, called the Battle of Wenlu and Qingchang.
The battle. Korean history books call it the Imjin Patriotic War. The entire war started in the 20th year of Wanli (1592) and ended in the 26th year of Wanli (1598), which lasted seven years. This war, the Ming Dynasty "
"Several efforts at home and abroad". It used hundreds of thousands of troops and spent nearly 8 million taels of silver. After repeated wars and peace, it finally won the war with extremely hard work and drove the Japanese back to their hometown.
The battle was won. This war was naturally written about in great detail by the Koreans. But how did the Koreans boast of their role in this war? For example, its greatness was just like that of their leader in another time and space.
The great leader General Kim used a Type 38 rifle to shoot down the Yankee fighter planes, which was enough to write a strong mark in the history of world war.
After the war was over, the Ming Dynasty paid eight million taels of silver and suffered tens of thousands of casualties. It stands to reason that the Ming Dynasty paid such a high price to help the Koreans win the war, so there must be some benefits, right? But the Ming Dynasty was up and down.
The monarchs and ministers did not ask for any money or water from the past of Korea at that time. The greatness of this behavior was simply unmatched by a saint. At least when Saint Kong traveled around the world and helped people write articles and was a gunman, he also knew how to ask for a few kilograms of corn as royalties.
Well, if the Ming Dynasty emperors and ministers behaved like this, if Confucius came back from the dead and saw it, he would be so ashamed that he would die again.
Since then, North Koreans have developed a perception that China is the big brother of North Korea. It is only natural that the big brother helps the younger brother, and there is no need to repay.
And this kind of knowledge has been passed down from generation to generation. In view of this, both Jiang Dongyeol and General Kim Yingshan, the commander of the Korean Anti-Japanese Allied Forces who remotely commanded from the northeast, think this is normal. I have no money to spend.
Shouldn't the elder brother help me? As for repaying the money...it's really hurtful to talk about this kind of thing.
Seeing Jiang Donglie's surprised look, Su Rui frowned even more.
Su Rui didn't say anything. Jiang Donglie was stunned on the spot. The atmosphere was tense and about to end. Yu Xueying couldn't help but secretly thought something bad when she saw it, and quickly smoothed things over: "Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Donglie, since you have asked us to provide
If I give you food, food, weapons, etc., I can't ask for it in vain, and we are also very nervous about supplies now. If you don't have an explanation, I'm afraid..."
Yu Xueying didn't finish what she said, but the meaning was very obvious. Everyone's things are blown by the wind from time to time. If you want to be so empty-handed and take away things with just a few words, it is impossible.
"What? You still have to pay the price?" Jiang Donglie was completely dumbfounded at this time. This sentence clearly exceeded his understanding of the Chinese people. Aren't the Chinese people good at face? We have already talked about the friendship between the two countries, also known as
You are the eldest brother, why don't you give me something? How can an eldest brother ask for benefits from his younger brother? This makes no sense?
"Well, Director Yu is right." At this time, Su Rui also spoke. At this time, he picked up the teacup, lifted the lid, slowly took a sip of tea, and then said: "Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Donglie, don't blame me.
We are stingy. I am also a villain before being a gentleman. There is no free lunch in this world. You have to be prepared to pay as much as you want to ask for. It is impossible to get something for nothing, not to mention that our country is now suffering from
Even with the Japanese invasion, it is impossible for me to give you a large amount of aid for no reason, do you think so?"
"Yes... you are right!"
At this time, Jiang Donglie's head was already sweating. This time he came under Jin Yingshan's order. If he couldn't get enough aid materials to go back, he would be in trouble. When he thought of Jin Yingshan's gloomy face and his choice of people,
With his eyes locked, he recalled that he had promised Jin Yingshan that he would be able to get a large amount of supplies back before arriving. He suddenly panicked and looked at Su Rui and said in a pleading tone.
"General Su, tell me, what price do you want us to pay to provide us with the military supplies we need! But I have to tell you in advance that our anti-Japanese coalition forces are very poor. In order to fight against Japanese aggression
Or, many of our soldiers don’t even have rifles, but we don’t have much money to give you.”
Su Rui smiled. As soon as he heard this sentence, he knew that half of his goal had been achieved. He leaned back comfortably on the chair and then said with satisfaction: "The word price is used well. I have said it before.
, There is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no free lunch. Any idea of getting something for nothing is unacceptable.
Of course, I know you are not rich yet, so let's do this. I will not ask you for money. On the contrary, if you need funds, I can even lend you a sum. Of course, the interest will be calculated.
.”
"Then you are..."
Jiang Donglie was confused. He didn't understand why Commander Su in front of him still put on such a posture after rejecting him. Was he just perfunctory?
Seeing Jiang Donglie's surprised look, Su Rui secretly smiled in his heart. His words just now were indeed aimed at the special envoy sent by North Korea. Originally, Su Rui did not have any thoughts about North Korea, which was thousands of miles away, but as the saying goes
, If you don’t take what God has given you, you will be blamed for it. Since others eagerly come to your doorstep, there is something wrong with you if you continue to be pretentious.
Thinking of this, Su Rui said slowly: "Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Donglie, before you start to put forward conditions, can you tell me how many people there are in your Korean Anti-Japanese Alliance now?"
"This..." Jiang Donglie hesitated, a look of shame appeared on his face at first, but then disappeared immediately, and then immediately said: "General Su, our anti-Japanese alliance is currently the largest anti-Japanese team in North Korea. There are currently a total of
There are more than two thousand people, each of them is a brave warrior who can sacrifice his life for North Korea's independence anytime and anywhere. Our biggest problem at present is the lack of weapons and supplies..."
"That's it. If that's the case, then I'll tell you straight." Su Rui interrupted Jiang Donglie rudely: "Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Donglie, let me tell you the truth, you really have too few people. You
Tell me, your troops of less than 3,000 men, with little clothing and ammunition, cannot have much effect on the tens of thousands of troops stationed in North Korea. Moreover, North Korea is far away from us in Taiyuan. If we want to support you, it will require a lot of energy and effort.
The price is very high, do you understand?"
Repeatedly emphasizing one's own difficulties is the most common strategy in the business world in later generations. Su Ruier, who grew up in that kind of environment, has witnessed that it is self-taught.
"Well, I can understand this." Jiang Donglie had never experienced this kind of method before, and he couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.
"Well, very good." Su Rui nodded with satisfaction: "In this case, I might as well say it directly. Judging from the current situation of your anti-Japanese coalition forces, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are poor and useless. You have nothing to do now.
It's attractive to me, what do you think?"
"This...is indeed the case." Jiang Donglie bowed his head in shame.
Seeing Jiang Donglie's appearance, Su Rui continued: "If that's the case, then so be it. I can promise to provide you with weapons, food and other material support, and I can also support you in becoming the only legal government of post-war North Korea, but...
"
Having said this, Su Rui glanced at Jiang Donglie who was looking happy, and then said slowly: "And our conditions are not many. If your anti-Japanese coalition becomes the legal government of North Korea after the war, you must agree to both of us."
Things. First, after the war you want to lease Jeju Island to us as a garrison. The term is tentatively set at one hundred years. Second, you want to open up the mineral deposits in your own territory, and our companies have priority.
Mining rights and logging rights, can you agree?"
"What? Lease Jeju Island?"
Jiang Donglie couldn't help being shocked when he heard it. Where is Jeju Island? No matter how stupid Jiang Donglie is, he knows that Jeju Island is the largest island in North Korea, with a total area of 1,825 kilometers. It is only 300 kilometers away from the mainland of North Korea.
It is only more than 500 kilometers away from the mainland of Japan. In other words, if Jeju Island is leased to China, it will be equivalent to strangulating the throats of North Korea and Japan. In other words, China can pinch it at any time if it is unhappy in the future.
Living in Mingmen, North Korea, although Jiang Donglie's military level is not very high, he also knows that the taste will never be pleasant.
Seeing Jiang Donglie's face turned ugly, Su Rui just sat on the chair and looked at him with a half-smile, with a very comfortable expression...
