Chapter 453: Talks (2)

Su Tong looked at Zhou Tiecheng with a calm expression, "Mr. Zhou, let's continue the topic just now, do you agree with what I just said about mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and mutual exchange?" ”

Zhou Tiecheng nodded slowly, "General Su's statement is very correct, our small interpersonal interactions, as large as state-to-state relations, should be carried out in line with the principle of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence. I agree with the above two points, but I just don't know what the saying "interoperability" means, so please ask General Su to explain. ”

Su Tong straightened up, took a sip of the teacup and said slowly, "Naturally, the goods of both sides can circulate freely with each other, for example, I like to eat your specialty boiled donkey sausage, but we don't have it in Chahar, what should we do, it just so happens that we have the flour you need here, let's exchange it with each other, or simply pay for it, isn't that great?" To put it simply, both parties can enter each other's markets to buy what they need, and that's it. ”

"Oh? If we want to buy your tank, can we do that? When Wang Qiang heard Su Tong's answer so refreshingly, he couldn't help but immediately ask, with a hint of mockery in his tone. As we all know, Chahar's 'Northwest Tiger' tank is currently the world's first-class tank, and Chahar's ability to beat Soviet Russia to the point of losing his temper with weak forces in Siberia is inseparable from the great contribution of this tank. Now that Wang Qiang is asking, he also has the intention of taking Su Tong and the army.

"Of course you can!" Unexpectedly, Su Tong readily agreed, which made everyone stunned.

Out of the corner of his eye, Su Tong glanced at Wang Qiang, who was sitting there as if he was a little incredulous, and then said lightly: "As long as you can afford the price, we will sell as many 'Northwest Tiger' tanks as you want." Even our standard Garand rifle can be sold to you, it not only has the advantages of fast rate of fire and high accuracy, but also the price is absolutely favorable. ”

At this time, Su Tong seemed to have entered the role of a businessman, and he couldn't wait to promote his products, and several people next to him were dumbfounded.

staring at Su Tong as if to distinguish the truth of his tone, after a while, Wang Qiang sat down like a deflated ball, and smiled bitterly on the sofa: "General Su, forget it, we can't afford to support those iron guys in that kind of bitter place." ”

Wang Qiang also knew that it was not easy to train an armored force, not only because of its price, but also because of its high requirements for the quality of troops and personnel, and the Social Workers Party would not allow its pitiful military spending to be invested in that gold-eating beast. That's why the other party agreed so happily, because he saw the other party's weaknesses.

"Hehe, General Su, don't tease Minister Wang, we are a famous bitter place there, and we can't afford to raise such a costly army, so let's talk about business now." Zhou Tiecheng, who was on the side, saw that his subordinates were embarrassed, and hurriedly spoke out to relieve the siege.

"That's good!" Su Tong turned the topic back: "Based on the principle of mutual respect, mutual benefit and reciprocity, we have drafted an agreement, you can take it and look at it, or you can make a decision after consulting with your main leaders, and if there are no problems, you can sign it with us." Now I will send you to the guest house to rest, and you can also visit Chahar for two days to see what we still have to do short, and by the way, give us some advice to the Chahar government. ”

Zhou Tiecheng also nodded, they were really tired from a day's drive, and they also knew that today was just the first tentative contact, and the real negotiations were still to come.

Both sides stood up, Su Tong and Zhou Tiecheng also shook hands with each other and said goodbye, Su Tong kept sending Zhou Tiecheng and them downstairs to witness them get into the car before returning.

Zhou Tiecheng and the four of them were sent to an elegant guest hotel, and after washing, they gathered in the small living room of Zhou Tiecheng's room for a short meeting.

After washing up, Zhou Tiecheng regained his spirit, first of all, he seriously criticized Zhou Tiecheng's secretary: "Comrade Li Zhengying, here I want to seriously criticize you for what happened just now, you are a member of the social worker party, and you also represent the image of our party. Although General Su is not a member of our Social Workers Party, he has helped us and contributed to the country, and I know that you have an opinion on the war between Chahar and Soviet Russia, but this does not become a reason for you to make trouble. You have to remember that he is a first-class general awarded by the national government, and it is not something you can reprimand at will, and if you make such a mistake again next time, I will severely punish you. ”

Zhou Tiecheng's words were very harsh, and Secretary Li lowered his head with a red face.

After criticizing Secretary Li, Zhou Tiecheng turned back to Wang Qiang and said, "Comrade Wang Qiang, you should work hard tonight and send a copy of the agreement that General Su gave us just now to Comrade Gu Yue and them, and see what they think." ”

Wang Qiang nodded, "Okay, I'll borrow a radio station from them in a while." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a knock at the door, and then two young waitresses walked in with a few food boxes, and one waitress bowed down and asked, "Hello gentlemen, we are here to bring you lunch, are you eating here?" ”

Zhou Tiecheng nodded, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”

The two waiters quickly arranged the meal, a plate of braised lion's head, a plate of braised pork, a plate of back pot meat, a plate of fish, a plate of peanuts and a soup, the portion was very large and fragrant, which made Zhou Tiecheng and Wang Qiang, who had not eaten for a morning, have a great appetite.

After setting up the tableware, the waiter quickly went out, and the four of them were not polite and immediately started moving.

Wang Qiang praised while eating, "Vice Chairman Zhou, their food is really good, it is quite in line with your usual taste." ”

The speaker had no intention of listening, and Zhou Tiecheng also sighed in his heart, not long after his group came, the other party prepared a delicious meal that was very much in line with his taste, and it seemed that he really responded to what the chairman said: They are not simple! However, no matter how they look at the agreement, it seems to be beneficial to their own side, and they can promote their ideas and statements in Chahar at will, as long as you don't kill people and set fires, the Chahar government will not interfere, but is there really such a good thing? Did that General Su really have no special purpose, just to help us?

Just when Zhou Tiecheng was thinking about the problem, our Chief Su was also having lunch at home, and our Xia Da Da seat was also asking Su Tong the same question at the banquet. Su Tong always shook his head with a smile and did not answer.

Yes, this agreement literally looks like Chahar is at a loss, but no one takes into account the other side of things, which is asymmetry. According to the principle of mutual respect and reciprocity, if you can send someone over, I can naturally send someone there, and what you can do in Chahar, I can naturally do it with you. Su Tong believed that with Chahar's strong military strength and economic ability, he would be able to let Chahar's influence penetrate there. After all, yearning for a better life is the common wish of all ordinary people, and no one can stop it.

The citizens of Chahar are protected by the social security system and guaranteed a minimum wage, so it is clear which is better than the worst when compared with each other. After the free flow of people is opened, the contact between the two sides will be greatly strengthened, and Chahar's powerful economy and commodities will penetrate into every corner of the city, which is the small calculation in Su Tong's heart.

After lunch, everyone rested for another two hours, and when Zhou Tiecheng got up, his guard Xiao Zhang walked in and said with a smile next to him: "Chief, I chatted with a guard at the guest house for a while when you were napping just now. ”

"Oh, what did he say?" Zhou Tiecheng asked with interest.

He said that he is now studying at night school and is preparing to apply for an intermediate technical school, so that he can find a good job when he is discharged from the army. And he also said that his daughter is now studying in primary school for free, and the conditions are very good. There is no tuition fee, and the school also gives them a free lunch every day, and each person also has a glass of soy milk or milk. Don't you say it's! ”

Xiao Zhang swallowed his saliva and then said: "I don't want to say that I saw these things he said, I haven't even heard of them." How can there be a free lunch in the world, if there is such a good thing, why did we work so hard to defeat those local tyrants and inferior gentry in the first place? ”

After saying that, Xiao Zhang laughed again, as if he was still laughing at the lame lies of his colleague.

But Zhou Tiecheng didn't laugh, but became silent, "Did he really say that?" ”

"Is that still fake? I can hear it clearly, but for the sake of this being someone else's territory, and because they are very enthusiastic about us, I'm too embarrassed to expose them. After all, people also brag for the sake of face, so we have to be polite. After saying that, Xiao Zhang laughed again.

Zhou Tiecheng was silent for a while before saying, "Xiao Zhang, that's not necessarily. Isn't it easy to figure it out? Let's just go and see for ourselves! I have already talked to General Su Tong, you can visit while negotiating, and when I negotiate with General Su Tong, you will walk around the school here with Minister Wang to see if what the guard said is true, this is the task I gave you, understand? ”

Zhou Tiecheng is not as ignorant as Xiao Zhang, he has always believed in intelligence work, there is no right to speak without investigation, judging from what Xiao Zhang narrated, what the guard said is true, if it is true, then the strength of Chahar must really be reestimated
