1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 51 Testing the Representatives of the Two Western Neighboring Countries
General Amir Shah got up from bed after a good nap.

The heating in the spacious and bright hotel room was turned on very high, so even though he was only wearing a single layer of underwear in the room, he did not feel cold at all.

As the head of the military trade procurement delegation sent to Dongda by the great White Elephant Country.

During the week I arrived in Todai, a country with a seriously backward economy.

He originally thought that he would have a very difficult life and would suffer a lot in terms of living habits and diet in this backward country.

However, there was a situation that he had never expected.

Here, they actually received treatment that was above the national level. No matter in terms of food, accommodation and transportation, Todai gave them the best hospitality.

The conditions there are more than ten times better than those in the country.

In just one week, he gained more than three kilograms. Every day, he was surrounded by all kinds of exotic food with new styles and wonderful taste.

To describe it with a common saying in the East Kingdom.

He has become somewhat "happy and reluctant to leave" in this country.

However, the time to return home is getting closer.

He knew that it was impossible to find any more excuses to delay.

Now I am in the city of Tangdu, which is the last stop of this trip to Tokyo University.

Moreover, it was also the last moment to finalize the final military trade purchase order with the East China University of Technology military and provide the list.

"Dong dong dong..."

"General Amir, Lord Dong just informed us that the meeting and negotiation time with us will be postponed for an hour. They have to meet with our mortal enemy Baba Yang first. The specific meeting and negotiation time with us will depend on the situation..."

"what are you saying?!"

When Amir Shah heard the report from his subordinate, he glared, ran forward angrily, and grabbed his subordinate by the collar.

"Damn it, what were you talking about?"

"Todai wants to postpone our meeting and negotiation time, but at the same time wants to advance it by one hour to negotiate with our mortal enemy Babayang?"

"what's going on?"

"Damn it, what on earth happened during my one and a half hour lunch break? Tell me right now..."

The subordinates were extremely nervous and dared not breathe. "General, we are the same. We just learned the news..."

"Damn it, you idiot. What I need to know now is why! Why did Lord Dong postpone our meeting time instead of our mortal enemy Babayang? What are you still standing there for? Check it out for me immediately. I want to know the truth..."

……

at the same time.

On the corridor of another floor.

After receiving the notification, the liaison officer of Babayang's side also hurriedly ran to knock on the door of the guest room of the team leader, General Mendi Raja.

"This is bad, General Raja. The meeting and negotiation time between Dongda and us has been advanced. We have just been informed that we have to start the meeting and negotiation 10 minutes earlier. In addition, the Dongda military informed us that the negotiation time given to us is only expected to be half an hour..."

General Mendi Raja was suddenly a little panicked.

"Watfa, why is this happening? What on earth happened during my one and a half hour lunch break? Investigate for me immediately. Did the damn White Elephant secretly talk to Dongda? I need to get all the information!"

Watched our liaison officer leave in a hurry.

General Mendi Raja, who is in charge of military trade procurement for the Babayang side.

My whole mind was in a daze.

Today is the last meeting and negotiation with the University of Tokyo to finalize the purchase list.

In the previous five meetings and negotiations, hadn't Dongda's arrangements always been to have their side and the annoying white elephant people be together?
Dongdafang's style of doing things has always been to treat both parties equally and to emphasize fairness, justice and openness. Why did it suddenly change its approach?
"It must be that the damned White Elephant people secretly negotiated the conditions and reached an agreement in an attempt to kick us Baba Sheep out..."

As the saying goes, people are lost in the midst of things.

The thing people fear most is that when something happens and they don't have complete information, they make up the truth in their own minds.

The two western neighboring countries, which have always been sitting on the Diaoyutai State in the arms trade negotiations, have now merely been informed that the meeting and negotiation time in the afternoon has been temporarily changed.

The leaders on both sides suddenly became restless.

They directly associated this sudden change with the fact that their mortal enemy had secretly made some small move.

On the first floor of the hotel, in the activity room, Director Liang and his group had all temporarily moved to this place and gathered.

They didn't really just let it go and walk away.

Firstly, the troops are bound by discipline, and during the mission, they can't just give up their duties at will;

Secondly, it was still snowing heavily outside, it was freezing cold, and there was nowhere to go if we left the Guomao Hotel.

If they want to return to the army, their superiors must actually order them to evacuate.

What's more, the current situation is that after reporting to their superiors, they were all severely criticized and scolded.

Then, the emergency plan given by the higher-ups has arranged for a helicopter to deliver another batch of military shovel samples from the agricultural machinery factory.

In other words, the quality of the military shovel produced by Factory 1387 is still recognized by the higher-ups, who believe that it is definitely worthy of the exaggerated title of the pinnacle king of cold weapons and a close combat artifact.

Foreign guests may not be interested in other conventional weapons, but this multifunctional military shovel will definitely have the potential to be a successful negotiation.

"Lao Liang, to be honest, we really shouldn't have fallen out with Lao Zheng from the 1387th Factory this time..."

"That's right. After all, both sides were just a little impulsive at the time. We should find an opportunity to lower our heads later, lest the higher-ups really arrange for the political department to conduct an internal audit. In the end, I'm afraid both sides will have to take fifty lashes..."

Someone is trying to reconcile Director Liang.

After all, given the current situation, this group of people will eventually have to cooperate with Zheng Xinmin and strive to sell the multifunctional military shovel products of Factory 1387 at the final meeting and negotiation. They will also have to try to help Factory 1387 sell more batches of military shovels and earn some scarce foreign exchange resources for the military.

What? Why are the troops so anxious to get foreign exchange resources?

That would have a lot of uses. For example, the Air Force is most envious of the Western fourth-generation fighter jets, such as the French Mirage. It is said that now, as long as there is enough foreign exchange, they can be bought!

Director Liang said in an irritable voice:

"I am not that kind of petty-minded person!

But you all saw what happened today. It wasn't that I, Liang Zhenxing, wanted to sabotage and make things difficult for Zheng Xinmin. It was just that they were too aggressive.

It would be fine if that kid used the 'three don'ts' to provoke us.

In the end, Zheng Xinmin even used the S-level confidentiality agreement to control us and forced us to make a choice within one minute.

We are all working for the army!
Besides, we have been working non-stop for a week, carefully serving the ancestors of the two western neighboring countries every day, which has already made us very angry.

It's just a matter of smoking a few more cigarettes behind closed doors.

They used the people from Factory 1387 to make a big fuss. If they had the guts, they could just go and show off to the ancestors of the two neighboring countries..."

It seemed that Director Liang was still full of anger and complaints.

The rest of the people also felt the same way.

The higher-ups don't provide them with policies or resources, and they want to negotiate arms trade with foreign militaries. All this time they have been humble and subservient to others, and have suffered a lot of frustration. Who can really feel happy about this?

Originally, he was hoping to quit his job. Zheng Xinmin from the 1387 Factory was capable of serving the foreign masters from the two neighboring countries to the west, so he just went and served them by himself.

The results of it!
The matter was reported to the superiors, who not only scolded him, but now he has to grit his teeth and wait for the new sample military shovel to be delivered before working together to deal with the foreign military representatives.

Moreover, given the current situation, it would be fine if the military shovel products of Factory 1387 were successfully sold.

It is very likely that the internal strife and mutual sabotage they have started today will eventually be offset against each other and they will all write a collective report of self-criticism and be criticized.

If the deal still doesn't work out...

"Everyone, there is new information. Zheng Xinmin has already started meeting and negotiating with foreign military representatives in advance..."

At this time, someone outside heard the news that the meeting and negotiations had started ahead of schedule, and came back in a hurry to report the news.

When everyone heard the news, they were immediately furious.

"What's the meaning?!"

"Zheng Xinmin of the 1387th Factory really wants to leave us alone and work on his own..."

"Have new samples of military shovels been delivered so quickly?!"

"They just change the time so casually, and bring it forward without informing us at all? Everyone, you must have heard it clearly now! Everyone, bear witness to me, it's not that I, Liang Zhenxing, am unwilling to cooperate. This is Zheng Xinmin from the 1387th Factory, who is preparing to fight hand-to-hand with the military trade representatives of the two western neighboring countries in the spirit of 'three don'ts', and to draw blood with the bayonets..."

"That's right. When it comes to lack of organization and discipline, Factory 1387 has really opened our eyes today..."
