Chapter 452: Talks (1)
After several years of continuous construction, Zhangjiakou Railway Station has developed into a large railway station, with an endless stream of people coming and going every day. In addition, Su Tong was determined to build this place into a window to the outside world of Chahar, that is, the image project known as the post-secular world, and after inviting several famous architectural experts in the world to brainstorm, our chief Su Da finally selected the design plan of the famous American architect Louis Kang.
Louiscon is a well-known representative of postmodernism, so the train station he designed is also full of... Well, some advanced elements, in the eyes of this generation, the style of this railway station is indeed a bit nondescript, but its space and lighting performance are indeed great, which is one of the reasons why Chief Su chose the Louiscon plan. A group of people got off the train today, led by two middle-aged people dressed in the clothes of ordinary merchants, wearing top hats, plain suits, and shiny leather shoes on their feet, with elegant expressions. They were followed by two young men with stern expressions and the appearance of secretaries.
The pedestrian got off the train and was a little surprised to see the crowd of pedestrians and the huge station where there seemed to be no exit in sight.
"My dear, how many people have to be here?" An entourage behind the two couldn't help but stick out his tongue, "Chief, this place is so big, we don't recognize Lu." The person who was called the leader was Zhou Tiecheng of the Social Workers Party, and he turned around and said with a smile: "Little ghost, people are clearly written on the street signs next to them, if you still want to go wrong, you can only be blamed for being too stupid." ”
The entourage behind him stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, only to find that various road signs had been set up on the side of the road, with various signs on them, and they were clearly written wherever they went.
At this time, another officer behind him whispered in disgust: "These are all rotten dross of capitalism, what's so good." Because he spoke very quietly and because of the noise of people coming and going in the station, no one could hear what he was saying.
Walking beside Zhou Tiecheng was Wang Qiang, who was out of the hands of the Ma Jiajun by the Chahar army two years ago, and I saw him say to Zhou Tiecheng with a smile: "Deputy Zhou [Lord], you see that they even have English road signs, and there is a kind of writing, but I can't understand it." ”
Zhou Tiecheng glanced at it and said: "This is Hebrew, which is a very rare language, and you can't understand it if you haven't learned it." ”
Wang Qiang scratched his head embarrassedly: "The chief is the chief, and he is even proficient in this kind of obscure writing." ”
Zhou Tiecheng smiled and said, "I don't know Hebrew, I just recognize it, and I'm still far from being proficient in two words." Speaking of this, his expression sighed slightly: "But Chahar's economy is really prosperous, and our northern Shaanxi is too far behind them." ”
Seeing this, Wang Qiang comforted softly: "Chief, you don't have to worry, when we negotiate the conditions with them, our economy will definitely get better." ”
The two walked and talked, and when they reached the gate of the train station, a major officer came straight to them. When he walked to Zhou Tiecheng's side, he immediately stopped, saluted Zhou Tiecheng and said, "Is it Mr. Zhou?" I am here to greet you on the orders of Commander Su, the car is in front, please get in the car! ”
Zhou Tiecheng nodded, then got into a sedan that had already been parked in front with Wang Qiang and others, and the car quickly disappeared.
Su Tong received them in the small living room of the Chahar Provincial Government Building, Su Tong shook hands with Zhou Tiecheng and Wang Qiang with a smile and said: "Mr. Zhou, we haven't seen each other for almost two years since we last parted, and you still have the same demeanor." ”
Zhou Tiecheng smiled: "Yes, General Su is now a well-known anti-Japanese hero." ”
Su Tong waved his hand, "What an anti-Japanese hero, I just did my best, but with a talent like Mr. Zhou, I couldn't give full play to my talents in a small place, it's a pity!" ”
Zhou Tiecheng smiled faintly: "There are no grievances, as long as you can do something for the country and the people, no matter how big or small, it is meaningful." ”
Looking at Zhou Tiechenghua's approachable expression and wise eyes, Su Tong sighed secretly in his heart, this kind of genius that is rare to appear in a hundred years, why don't you have one here? However, he still had a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhou can write at the age of twelve" to read for the rise of China, such courageous words are really worthy of the word genius. Su Tong is sincere about this, and Su Tong admires such a person who can be said to be ubiquitous and capable in terms of agility, wit and personality charm.
"General Su, you have won the award, it is just a child's work, it can't be taken seriously!" Zhou Tiecheng said modestly.
After exchanging a few words, the two sides went straight to the point: "General Su, is the suggestion you made in the telegram last time true?" To tell you the truth, our current economy is very difficult, and many ordinary people do not even have enough to eat, so this time I have been entrusted by my comrades to discuss with you whether we can support us with some things and supplies.
Su Tong smiled and waved his hand, "Mr. Zhou, our ancestors have an old saying, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Only by finding the root cause of the problem and finding a way to make the people truly rich can we solve the fundamental problem. What do you say? ”
"What do you mean?" Zhou Tiecheng asked a little puzzled.
"I am also clear about your intentions, what I mean is that the exchanges between our two places will be carried out as we said in the telegram, and we will respect each other, coexist peacefully, exchange information and open up our respective borders. In order to show our sincerity, our side also agreed to retreat the garrison brigade deployed on the border of the two sides back 100 miles. ”
Seeing Su Tong's reasonable look, Wang Qiang and Zhou Tiecheng couldn't help but look at each other a little, they had always believed that there was no white lunch in the sky, but they were a little hesitant about this seemingly very favorable condition.
At present, their base areas are indeed very poor, and because of the blockade by the Congress Party, it can be said that there is a shortage of everything in the base areas, such as food, supplies, guns and ammunition. Weapons and ammunition used to be captured from the Japanese army, but since the Japanese army abandoned the original retreat, they suddenly lost their source, and even the gun oil for wiping guns has become a scarce item. These have seriously restricted their development, and now that Su Tong has opened this mouth all of a sudden, it can be said to be a timely rain for them.
But Zhou Tiecheng always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.
At this time, Wang Qiang on the side asked cautiously: "General Su, you said that you want to open the border checkpoints, that is, you can allow our personnel to enter your control area freely." "Of course! Su Tong generously waved his hand and smiled: "I have already said that your personnel can naturally enter our [free] activities, of course, after coming in, you still have to respect the laws and regulations on our side." Minister Wang, I want to say that if your personnel violate our laws and regulations, our police will act in accordance with the law. "Can we have the right of propaganda and assembly in your country?" "Of course, you can, but if you want to publicize the rally, you just need to report it to the police station in advance. But there is also a premise for this, that is, we must also have the right to publicize the assembly in your base area! Su Tong looked very easy-going when he spoke, and he went to someone's house to eat so often.
"That's not going to work!" Before Zhou Tiecheng and Wang Qiang could speak, a young man behind them jumped up: "That's not good, we will never let the dregs of capitalism enter our base area, and we will never let you bring those rotten things into our place." Zhou Tiecheng frowned, turned around and scolded in a low voice: "Xiao Li, sit down, what do you look like!" ”
Su Tong's brows were also frowned at first, and then he smiled: "This little brother, what you said is wrong. As I said a long time ago, the two sides of us have cooperated on the basic premise of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence, and according to you, only your people are allowed to come to our Chahar to conduct propaganda gatherings and do business, but we do not have the right to enter your base areas, is this mutual respect and peaceful coexistence? You are suspected of engaging in hegemonism and power politics! "You, you're a strong word! In short, we will never allow you to enter our base and wreak havoc! The young man surnamed Li couldn't help but stand up and said loudly.
"Yes!" Su Tong's smile slowly faded, and his face began to darken, since he came to Chahar, as Su Tong's strength became stronger and stronger, and his majesty became stronger day by day, it has always been someone else's share of bowing down in front of him, and now even the chairman of the committee does not dare to scold him like this in front of him, and today's young man's attitude makes our Chief Su a little angry.
"Mr. Zhou, are this little brother's words your attitude?" Su Tong ignored the young man's words and turned to Zhou Tiecheng and asked.
Wang Qiang was also in a bad mood, he didn't expect someone on his side to be so rude, he turned his head and scolded in a low voice: "Xiao Li, if you make such unreasonable nonsense again, I don't mind sending you back first." "I", this Xiao Li lowered his head angrily and said nothing.
Wang Qiang turned his head and smiled at Su Tong reluctantly, "I'm sorry General Su, my subordinates are ignorant, so I made you laugh." ”
After seeing Wang Qiang's apology, Su Tong waved his hand generously, "It's okay, even God will forgive young people for making small mistakes!" ”! ~!
