Chapter 3681: Espionage
"After establishing a good relationship with the South, we can import more goods and resell them to people in the Northern Alliance Stan. Koreans can provide a lot of goods, such as tea, silk, and cotton. These things are popular in the North. Although our arms and weapons can also bring profits of this kind, but in comparison, our situation is far worse than that of the other party. I think your majesty should be aware of this. After all, the demand for arms cannot bring more. Prosperity.” Zhu Li said.
The king nodded and agreed with this view. In contrast, large-scale commercial trade can bring more trade taxes. In contrast, the arms trade is much smaller. Facing such a situation, the king is very clear. He chose what he should choose, for example, a lot of trade taxes and so on.
"We can try to change this situation with them. If we can solve these problems, we can accept some unequal conditions. For example, tariffs, etc., we can make some concessions. As long as the other party can relax trade restrictions. , I think we can accept such conditions." The king nodded and agreed. Regarding the restoration of trade in the North, Seth must do it, but how to open the other's market in the course of trade is not their business.
In Jeju Island, the undersecretary of the navy is checking the combat readiness of their destroyers. They must strengthen the situation north of the small villages in the north, because they must guard against the counterattack of the people of Zhao and Qi. In this way, they can ensure that their battle conditions become better. Advantageous. Because Qin's navy has agreed to accept the area controlled by Jeju, the price they exchanged is a bit shocking. The people of Qin paid only 200,000 and a half to buy several large islands. Actually it is the northern part of Japan. For Qin, it was a bargain. However, before the Qin people took over, they had to ensure the safety of the entire control area.
"We must guarantee the state of combat readiness. This is related to our big business. This business is very important to us." The Navy Deputy Chief said as he walked around in the cabin of a destroyer. The soldiers lined up neatly to be inspected by the Navy Deputy Chief. This made the Navy Deputy Chief feel very good.
"Sir, we will definitely do such things well. These things are no problem for us. I believe we will do them well." The deputy captain replied.
"Yeah." The Undersecretary of the Navy was about to leave here, but he suddenly saw some large boxes. These boxes did not look like navy supplies from the outside. Moreover, the positions of these boxes were not right. They were already there. The narrow aisle.
"These things shouldn't be placed here, they should be placed under the cabin. And they take up too much space." The navy deputy pointed to the box and said.
"Yes, sir, we will solve these problems now." The deputy captain said at this time.
"Wait, let me see what's in these boxes?" The navy secretary felt very strange because the boxes were placed in a wrong position, which determined that there were some special things in these boxes. The navy secretary decided to check a bit.
"This. Sir, there is no need to check. These are some medicines, and we will deal with these medicines soon." The deputy captain explained nervously at this time. He hoped that this kind of rhetoric would make the Undersecretary of the Navy give up inspections. After all, such inspections would expose many problems.
"No, I still want to be able to see, this kind of thing will seriously affect the next battle situation, I'd better take a look." The Navy Deputy Commander strongly demanded. In desperation, the deputy captain could only ask his soldiers to open the real box, and he reluctantly opened the box. As soon as he opened the box, the deputy commander of the Navy immediately understood what it meant. Because the box is full of elegant films. Dark elegant film. This kind of thing can barely be called a medicine, but it can only be in moderation, but now. Almost the dose in the box has exceeded the reasonable demand of a battleship. No need to look, the undersecretary of the Navy understands what this is all about.
"I hope you can handle this matter by yourself." The deputy commander of the navy looked at the deputy captain and said. This is no secret. The navy is also human. After the end of large-scale operations in Jeju, they quickly slashed a large number of military personnel. Because their financial situation is simply impossible to maintain such a long, and the existence of large-scale military forces, although their gross tonnage is very large, far exceeding the gross tonnage of the Goguryeo Navy, the problem is that Jeju’s financial capability cannot sustain the navy. In order to solve this problem, the Jeju naval warships participated in smuggling activities, and the salaries of naval personnel were reduced by at least 70% compared to the combat period. This made it difficult for them to survive. The way to subsidize the family is also a wonderful thing.
Under normal circumstances, warships going to Southeast Asia are more motivated because they can bring a lot of things they don’t have here, such as tea, silk, cotton, and some medicines. These things are what the peninsula and Goguryeo need. They conduct transactions through patrols and temporary stops, and even the Wadao area needs such materials. And in some special areas, they also do this kind of business, such as the Nanyang Islands, where life is rich, which makes some people seek excitement. Yapian was born under such a situation. However, they are only responsible for transportation, because the Yapian is produced there. The people of Qi have occupied some inconspicuous small islands there, mainly within the scope of the Ouzi of the Zhao people. They planted a large number of Yapian, and then refined it. In terms of selling to Jeju, in their view, as long as the funds can be recovered, it is the same to whoever sells it. In this way, the Jeju Navy became a member of the smugglers, and the most important member, many things were traded through their hands.
The Deputy Chief of the Navy shook his head and left the destroyer. This has happened many times. Almost all the navies are involved, because this kind of thing is no longer manageable. Lower salaries make it difficult for officers and soldiers to meet the current status quo. They need to survive, and the Ministry of Finance does not have enough funds to maintain such a huge navy. The Admiralty has figured out a way to solve these problems. For example, they thought of selling some warships in their hands. As a result, the salary they received was still unable to solve the problem. The only way was to let this smuggling situation go. This is the difference.
The undersecretary of the Navy can no longer control such things. Because the Secretary of the Navy is also involved, the Deputy Navy can only close one eye. Although he himself is not involved, his relatives and family are also involved. This is a chain of economic interests. No one can leave such a chain of interests. This is impossible.
South Korean Navy Intelligence Service.
"Although the military operations have been launched, the pirates have not yet reached a state of containment. The Navy and the Army need to continue to invest more military forces to solve these problems." An intelligence ensign reported to his officer.
"Well, I know this. What I want to know is, have you found a solution?" the captain asked the second lieutenant.
"We have contacted Lockheed Martin, and Lockheed Martin agreed to help them build a navy. However, they must first open up such a channel. Only then can all problems be solved. Of course. They need to build a naval port. At the same time, the expansion of naval personnel operations requires us to invest more material and strength." The ensign reported. Out of an ulterior secret, because the enemy of the Carthaginians is Loma. The Loma people are supported, and their strength is to help the Koreans themselves. This is a diplomatic idea of the Koreans. At the same time, it was considered a military attempt. They hoped that the Loma could contain the Carthaginians.
"Well, their situation is not very good. What I know is that their strength is beyond reach and cannot help us further. At least it is currently unable to achieve such a goal. We need a new kind of intelligence support. For example, love a few people." The intelligence captain said.
"How many people do you love? They are useless. Sir." The ensign looked at the captain in confusion.
"No, the current Aiji government is obviously leaning toward the **** Carthaginians. Their foreign policy is extremely unfavorable to us. I think you know this. Their attitude directly affects the pirates. Because we can’t get the support of the other party, it’s difficult to defeat Aijiren if we only rely on diplomatic pressure, and Aijiren won’t support our military operations. Therefore, in this situation Under the circumstances, we hope to instigate some loved ones and make them a kind of helping force for us. They can rely on us to survive, be obedient, and be able to provide some help to our military forces. That's what I think." Captain Speaking of this.
"Sir, I think, I understand what you mean." The ensign nodded and said.
"Well, very good. I hope that such an operation can be carried out as soon as possible, you know. The frontline needs the Navy to do a lot of things, and our intelligence department needs to carry out many things. If our intelligence department does not act, it will reduce our ability Funding support, understand?" the captain said. The second lieutenant nodded and said that he understood that the work of the intelligence department also needs further financial support. In order to get more funds, some intelligence agencies must think of espionage that can defeat the other party as soon as possible.
