Chapter 1844 Some blood must be shed

Hearing what Elder Chen said, Cannon smiled and then changed the subject, "But you also have to consider the Alliance's position. If Annan, who is also in the revolutionary camp, is attacked and the Alliance does not provide support, it will be a disaster for the entire world!"

Old Chen's face was solemn. "Don't worry, Mr. Deputy Envoy. We are not letting it go. When it comes to the revolutionary cause, we always put the overall situation first!"

Mr. Chen naturally knew the importance of several surrounding areas.

This is like installing a cannon at your doorstep, which can threaten your heart at any time. No one wants this to happen.

However, being clear in your heart is one thing, and showing it to others is another.

Isn’t this how relations between countries come about?
"I understand. We also understand your country's situation, but as you said, we hope to help as much as possible within your capacity."

"I think Annan's representatives will be very willing to do so!"

As Canon finished speaking, the Annan envoy, who had no sense of existence at the side, finally waited for the opportunity and suddenly said, "Sir, please lend a hand!"

"Our revolutionary cause is facing an unprecedented crisis, and our people are dying every moment. We hope that you can carry forward the revolutionary friendship and help us..."

"These damn lackeys are inhumane and they don't deserve to be human beings..."

"My hometown was peaceful and tranquil, but it was reduced to ashes by the incendiary bombs..."

"My little niece, she's only twelve years old, she..."

"And I…"

The Annan envoy was in tears, and his words evoked memories deep in Mr. Chen's heart.

He felt more empathy for the same suffering, and his expression became sad.

Seeing this, the Annan envoy glanced at Kanon, and then continued to talk about the sufferings of the people.

Tears flowed, sadness overflowed.

After a long while, Mr. Chen calmed down and said earnestly, "I understand Mr. Ruan's feelings. We have also come out of hardships and have a personal experience of the war..."

In a low voice, Mr. Chen kept saying words of empathy, and then he kept encouraging the other party to persist in the struggle and to believe that the final victory would belong to them just like them...

Nguyen Van Triet, the envoy of Annan, originally thought that everything was going as planned. According to the strategy given by Canon, if both sides combined soft and hard tactics and took a two-pronged approach from the perspective of the general situation and human relations, they would definitely be able to impress the other party, or at least get the material assistance they wanted.

Of course, it would be best if the other party could send troops, just like what happened in Goryeo back then.

In this way, the Annan people would have fewer deaths and could retain more vitality.

He doesn't care how many people on the other side die.

I even thought in my heart that it would be a good thing if some of you died.

Besides, they say that the medical and educational sectors are under great pressure. If more people die, wouldn’t that just reduce population pressure?

But before he could be happy, he felt that something was wrong!
Why, why are you always sympathizing, always sighing, always sad and angry, but never talking about support!

This, this is not right.

Ruan Wenzhe suddenly realized that the old man opposite him was not someone who was easily swayed by emotions and acted impulsively.

But he still wanted to try again, to at least achieve half of his goal.

Canon on the side also found that something was wrong, but since things had come to this point, Ruan Wenzhe could only do it on his own.

Then he looked at the old man opposite him with an even more cautious look.

The ability to separate public and private matters to this extent is rare in the alliance.

Sure enough, none of the people in this group who have brought China to this point are simple.

Canon glanced at the other person, lowered his head and pushed his glasses, then signaled Ruan Wenzhe to be more direct and speed up.

"Mr. Chen, we sincerely thank your country for its support over the years, but our current situation is extremely critical. Without foreign aid, we simply cannot hold on."

"Mr. Chen, these are the supplies we urgently need. Please consider the diplomatic relations between our two countries and help coordinate as soon as possible."

After receiving the signal, Ruan Wenzhe took out a report from his bag, stood up and respectfully handed it to Mr. Chen with both hands.

Elder Chen took it with both hands, but did not look at it. Instead, he put it aside and said, "Okay, I will report to my superiors as soon as possible to discuss assistance."

Seeing that Mr. Chen still hadn't given an accurate answer, Ruan Wenzhe was a little disappointed.

Even though you have reached this position, do you still need to ask for instructions from your superiors?

It's just some supplies, you can make the decision, why don't you just let me know when the time comes?
It's obvious that she wants to take it off.

However, Ruan Wenzhe also knew that it was not advisable to rush now. Even if the country was in chaos, it had to remain stable.

Besides, he is not alone around him, and the matter depends on the attitude of the alliance.

Canon nodded slightly, then looked at Pavel who was standing aside. The latter got the hint and said, "Chen, in that case, let's stop here today."

“I hope you can understand the hardships of our revolutionary comrades and make a decision that is conducive to the development of the revolution.”

"I will be waiting for your good news at any time."

Pavel stood up as he spoke, and Old Chen also stood up.

The two shook hands again, and Chen said kindly, "Don't worry, for the sake of revolutionary construction, we will shoulder our own mission."

"That's great."

The two men let go of each other's hands, and Canon followed and shook Elder Chen's hand. "You are a wise elder, so I think you must know the reason behind this."

"I hope you can understand who our common enemy is."

"I know, we have always known it and have fought for it, unyieldingly."

Canon nodded, then Ruan Wenzhe stepped forward to shake his hand and cried again. Then the three of them left accompanied by the staff.

After the three people left the meeting room, Mr. Chen sat back in his chair and picked up the documents on the table.

After opening it and taking a look, a sneer appeared on his face.

One million tons of grain every month, that’s really a bold idea.

If there was so much grain, and they used it domestically, they could solve a lot of food problems.

Mr. Chen resisted the urge to throw it into the trash can and continued reading.

In front are daily necessities, including food, cotton, cloth and various cash crops, with salt and sugar being the most important.

Behind them are military supplies, from small guns and ammunition to trucks and motorcycles, and then to airplanes, tanks and cannons. The quantities required are getting larger and larger.

And among them, two new varieties appeared.

One was to ask for missile support. This was a no-brainer, as we had just developed it in our country, so how could we give it to them?

What's more, even if we give it to them, they won't be able to use it. In the end, it will only aid the enemy and provide them with an opportunity to study our missiles.

The other is the Kuiniu armored vehicle.

He couldn't quite understand why they wanted this kind of armored vehicle.

It’s not that he didn’t know about this armored vehicle. On the contrary, he knew about the situation of this armored vehicle when the vehicle was being developed and produced. The experiments at the Red Star Machinery Factory were especially amazing.

But after the disaster relief work in Shunde, he had a deeper understanding of this type of armored vehicle.

After the earthquake, the ground was bumpy and uneven, with trenches more than one meter deep appearing in some places. The ground was cracked with gaps running all over the place.

But in front of this armored vehicle, there was no threat at all.

We rushed up the small dirt slope and the front wheels sank into a pit. We turned on the drive and climbed up easily.

Even in some remote mountain villages, the roads are inconvenient and cars just run through the woods.

This vehicle is flexible, adaptable, and even has strong firepower. The genuine armored vehicle is also equipped with special protective armor, making it armed to the teeth.

How can I give them such a nice car?

At least we have to give it, and it has to be for export.

As for the powerful type written in the other party's report, he would not give it to him.

Even if it is for export, it is also an important material for earning foreign exchange. Who wouldn't feel bad if it was given for free?

In addition, foreign exchange support, intelligence support, and surface combat support were also mentioned.
In terms of economic construction, there are various steel mills, machinery factories, chemical plants, and even munitions factories, etc., covering everything from people's livelihood to military equipment.

All this was enough for them to fight another war against Goryeo.

What’s even more disgusting is that the supplies here are not just one-time supplies, but are required every month, every quarter, and every year.

What’s even more abominable is that they have to provide all of this for free.

Damn it, they are being taken advantage of.

"wishful thinking!"

Chen Lao angrily threw the report aside and rubbed his brow with his fingers.

My mind is in a mess.

But after calming down, I was full of contradictions again.

It is true that, as Canon said, national considerations and personal considerations sometimes conflict.

For the sake of the country, personal feelings must take a back seat.

Old Chen knew that they had to support the battle in Bei'an, and they couldn't let them lose.

Because the consequence of losing would be like a knife to their stomach. Not to mention economic development, even their daily lives would be affected.

They have to live in fear all day long and have to station heavy troops to guard against this knife at any time.

At that time, it became a burden on the country, and what was lost was the strategic buffer.

This was the result of many discussions among them.

For the sake of the future, some blood must be shed, otherwise future generations will have to shed it.

Just agreeing to the other party's request and ignoring the situation at home always makes me feel heavy in my heart.

"Commander, the two people from the Red Star Machinery Factory are in the waiting room."

Just when Mr. Chen was worried about this, the secretary beside him came forward and whispered.

Mr. Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide, then looked at his watch, "Oh, it's already half past two."

"Comrades must be waiting impatiently. Let them in quickly."

"Ok."

In the waiting room, Yang Xiaotao rested his forehead with his eyes closed, while Liu Huaimin sat there looking at the cup in his hand.

There was still water in the teapot, but he didn't dare drink it. It would be embarrassing if he drank too much and had to go to the toilet.

The two of them were silent when they heard footsteps coming from the door.

crunch
The door opened and both of them stood up from their seats at the same time.

"Comrades, the commander has finished his meeting. Please follow me."

Liu Huaimin and Yang Xiaotao hurriedly tidied up the documents, then picked up the documents and followed him out.

Arriving at the conference room, the two entered the door and saw Mr. Chen sitting on the sofa to rest. When he saw the two people coming in, he stood up from the sofa with a kind face, but with a little apology, "I didn't manage the time well. I kept you waiting for a long time."

When the two heard what Mr. Chen said, they hurriedly said no and then sat on the sofa opposite.

Yang Xiaotao then noticed the documents on the table, especially the words on the cover, and immediately knew who the person he had just met was.

It must be what I told Liu Lixue.

I suddenly became curious about Liu Lixue's background. Logically, not many people should know about this kind of thing.

Moreover, each of them has a high status.

Who is Liu Lixue?

Lou Xiao'e followed her and unexpectedly succeeded in getting to a high position.

Just when Yang Xiaotao was staring at the report in thought, Mr. Chen met with Liu Huaimin, and then he noticed that Yang Xiaotao was staring at the report, as if he was thinking about something.

Liu Huaimin knew that what Yang Xiaotao did was inappropriate, even a little rash. Which of the matters concerning Mr. Chen was a trivial matter?

If someone finds out, I might even be suspected.

Just when Liu Huaimin was about to open his mouth to remind Yang Xiaotao, Old Chen saw Yang Xiaotao's expression and something moved.

As the great man said, they will eventually fall, and the future sky will belong to the sun at eight or nine o'clock.

And isn’t Yang Xiaotao the sun that is beginning to become scorching hot before our eyes?
He wanted to consider this guy's attitude when faced with this situation.

I also took the opportunity to test this kid's background for my old brother in Guangdong Province.

If so, can it be entrusted with important tasks?
