Chapter 204 Deal
was unceremoniously rejected by Zhang Longchu, but Li Huairen showed a smile on his face, and said very frankly: "Your Excellency, the 100,000-level refugee resettlement plan is already a major event that has been raised to the national strategic level.
I'm a small lieutenant colonel, how can I be qualified to make a decision even if I am serving in the Ministry of Defense, and to be honest, I have come to meet you today for the sole purpose of getting a preliminary understanding of your intentions.
If you don't want any Koreans to take refuge in the mountains of Mebizi, then this has never happened, and the big names of the Blue House won't lose face because of it;
If you are able to accept the South Korean government's request to relocate, it is natural that at least a ministerial-level official from the Prime Minister's Office will discuss the specific issues with you in detail. ”
"I see, I said that it involves the resettlement of 100,000 refugees, and a country like South Korea, which relies on the people to elect a president and form a government with one vote, cannot be so hasty." Hearing this, Zhang Longchu said with a relieved expression.
When his voice landed, Li Huairen nodded approvingly, and stood up with a smile, "General, then I will leave first and report your meaning to the commander." ”
"Okay, Lieutenant Colonel Li," Zhang Longchu pondered for a few seconds, smiled the same way, and said, "By the way, please explain to your chief that instead of 100,000 but 150,000, I can accept up to 150,000 refugees from South Korea to take refuge in the Maibiqi Mountains."
However, the conditions put forward are also quite harsh, if there is no certain mental preparation, please ask them to treat this incident as if this incident has not happened, so as not to talk about it and end up with a deal that cannot be completed and lose face. ”
Li Huairen heard Zhang Longchu borrow his words to express his greedy thoughts, the smile on his face stiffened slightly, and he said softly: "It seems that Your Excellency the General thinks that he has taken the sore spot of our Republic of Korea." ”
Zhang Longchu shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, "It's impossible to say that, a deal, both parties must be satisfied before the deal can be made, isn't it." ”
Looking at Zhang Longchu's flat smile, Li Huairen didn't say anything, made a military salute, walked out of the conference room quickly, took the elevator to the first floor, and got into a military jeep all the way. ”;
While figuring out the encrypted mobile phone, he dialed a number, and a few seconds later, the phone was connected, and a slightly tired but sonorous voice came from the earpiece, "Huairen, how are things going?" ”
"It went well, General Zhang was not only willing to accept South Korean refugees to take refuge in the Maibiqi Mountains, but also took the initiative to increase the number to 150,000," Li Huairen said with a sinking face: "However, he said in advance that the quid pro quo he proposed would be very harsh, and I am afraid that he would put forward some unreasonable conditions during the specific negotiations." ”
"Let's open our mouths, anyway, it is the responsibility of the Prime Minister's Office to resettle refugees, and our military has already done our part to help probe the mouth," the voice on the phone said a little carelessly: "You come back quickly, I still have important things for you to help the staff officers, staff officers." ”
"Yes, General, I'm already on my way back." Li Huairen opened his mouth to reply, and then was silent for a while, as if he was not vomiting unpleasantly, and said: "General, I haven't seen you for 3 or 4 months, I feel that General Zhang has grown a lot...", but was interrupted by the voice on the phone with a smile, "You would say that you were defeated by that little friend, Huairen."
There is no need to take this kind of thing to heart, people are in different positions, the vision and insight will naturally become different, this change may not be seen at ordinary times, but it is likely to make people frightened at critical moments, and when you are promoted to a higher position in the future, you will naturally understand, don't think about it now. ”
Hearing this, Li Huairen hung up the phone in a low voice, and at the same time, Zhang Longchu also informed his most trusted subordinate Liu Junshan of South Korea's intention to transfer refugees to the Maibiqi Mountains for temporary refuge, so that he could prepare relevant negotiation matters.
Over the next week, after several rounds of difficult negotiations, an agreement was finally reached between the government of Mebizzy and the South Korean government.
For humanitarian reasons, the municipality is willing to accept 150,000 Korean refugees to temporarily relocate to the Mebizi area, and provide them with shelter and corresponding food, fresh water, electricity... and other basic living resources.
During the relocation period, Korean refugees will unconditionally enjoy the treatment of citizens in the municipality of Mebiqi, and have the freedom to choose work, do business, open farms, factories, etc. and so on, and of course they must also pay taxes to the municipality if they work, subject to its administrative jurisdiction, and abide by the laws of the Federation of Malaysia.
In exchange, the South Korean government will help build a comprehensive university, a military academy, and a medium-sized military factory that can repair all kinds of conventional weapons and produce infantry firearms and various types of general-purpose ammunition for the Mebiqi area, and will also pay the autonomous city government 3 billion yuan a year as so-called political compensation for managing the people on its behalf.
Fifteen days after the agreement was signed, Zhang Longchu was among the first batch of 30,000 South Korean refugees to relocate, and returned to the Maibiqi Mountains.
Under the modern irrigation construction model, as long as there is enough money, a 100-story building can be built in a maximum of one or two months.
On the way, Zhang Longchu saw that the newly built urban area of Maibiqi and the small city composed of two staggered streets in his impression were very different, although they were not yet called skyscrapers, but they were already quite a bit of a prosperous city near the sea, and he couldn't help but feel better and better.
When he came to the city hall, Liu Junshan had already led many administrative officials of the municipality to wait in the foyer, and when Zhang Longchu's RV stopped steadily, he was about to step forward to open the door in person, but he was taken by Hong Shan, chief of staff of the defense army, who was standing with few senior officers of the Maibiqi Defense Army, and opened the door.
"General, you're back." After that, he saw Hong Shan standing upright, and said softly respectfully after saluting.
"Yes, the resettlement of South Korean refugees this time is very important, and because of the appearance of Hongyun, the situation on the island is delicate, so I have to come back early," Zhang Longchu got out of the car, smiled, patted Hong Shan's shoulder and said, "During my absence, you have worked hard, Chief of Staff."
Next, I will cooperate with the instructors sent by the South Korean military to prepare for the establishment of our own military academy, and I will personally serve as the chairman of the preparatory committee. ”
His age was more than half of Hong Shan's, and he patted him on the shoulder to admonish, no matter how gentle his tone was, it should be very awkward, but the momentum he showed made all this seem logical, and Hong Shan's performance at this time was very strange, standing upright, saluting, and shouting in a sonorous voice: "To serve you, I am doing my best and dying." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Longchu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately guessed that Hong Shan was to cater to his well-known hobby of liking Chinese classical civilization in the Maibiqi Mountains, so he memorized some idioms and used them indiscriminately, nodded with a smile and said, "Very good." ”
After that, Zhang Longchu looked at Liu Junshan, who was a step late, and greeted him in front of him and said: "Junshan, I looked out of the car window all the way, and I almost didn't know the urban area of our autonomous city, good job." Although the words were concise and to the point, they were full of praise, which made him feel hot in his heart.
"This is what I should be a general," Liu Junshan said in a hoarse voice, holding back his excitement: "The housing planning bureau for the first batch of Korean refugees has been built, although it is a little simple..."
"Our Maibiqi mountain is like spring all year round, and people can't freeze to death in winter, according to my idea, build a Malay-style wooden building for those Koreans, and just connect it to electricity, what is not simple." Zhang Longchu interrupted Liu Junshan's words and said with a smile, his voice landed, and the senior officials of the surrounding municipalities and senior officers of the defense army all laughed in unison.
Looking around, looking at the smiling faces, Zhang Longchu didn't know why, he felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart, and then under the guidance of Liu Junshan, he strolled into the main conference room on the top floor of the city hall, and listened to the reports of the high-level military and political officials in the McBiqi area.
In this way, Zhang Longchu, who had been busy from more than 10 o'clock in the morning until late at night, during which he had lunch and dinner with a group of officials, finally finished his work and invited Liu Junshan to come to a 24-hour barbecue stall by the sea.
"Junshan, you said on the phone last time that there were people around the Maibiqi Mountains who had bad intentions towards us, I couldn't hear it clearly, and it was difficult to ask clearly on a long-distance call," the sea breeze caressed, blowing away the heat of the day, and put a piece of grilled fish steak that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside into his mouth, Zhang Longchu breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "What the hell is going on?" ”
"General, the main reason why you replaced the leader of the hill people and became the commander of the new defense force and ruled the Mabiqi region so smoothly is because of the first support of the Malaysian royal family," Liu Junshan replied with a solemn face: "But because of this, it has also aroused the hatred of the Sarawak royal family, and the value of the Mabiqi mountain land was not prominent in the past, so although they are hostile to us, they feel that it is not worth it..."
"I understand," Hearing this, Zhang Longchu had already guessed where the joints were, and interrupted Liu Junshan's words: "I think that with the current strength of the Maibiqi Self-Defense Army, it should be enough to deter the local troops in the two areas bordering us, Jiamian and Miri.
Hmph, it doesn't matter if they are ready to move, if Allah attacks by force, then I will have an excuse to simply swallow the entire Sarawak state, anyway, according to tradition, the sultans of the Malay federal states are elected from among the Dato, and I am also qualified to be the king and hegemon.
