Chapter 1259 Like-minded Countries (First Update, Please Subscribe)
In Chang'an, the "fortress" of the National Police Headquarters has always been a must-see attraction for tourists.

"According to the chief designer, the exterior of the National Police Headquarters adopts the Bauhaus style. This cube-shaped building with no windows on all four sides and no external lighting is out of place in the prosperous Chang'an. From the outside, it looks like it has almost no windows except for the huge ventilation vents.

Whenever night falls, it becomes a huge shadow in the urban area, isolated from the world with its extremely institutionalized indifference and rationality.

Its exposed materials, simple lines and unrestrained sense of power have always been the most distinctive building among all the buildings in Chang'an..."

As the tour bus passed by the National Police Headquarters, the tourists on the bus looked at this windowless, oppressive building under the guidance of the tour guide.

Such a building would be a topic of conversation for them when they returned home. People took photos in front of the building to show off to others.

In fact, there were even “tips” posted on lampposts across the street telling them which location offered the best viewing angle.

Yin Mingzhe said after standing beside the street light and taking a photo.

“What a thoughtful service!”

"Yeah, that's probably the difference between them and us."

Listening to his colleague's sigh, Quan Rihai expressed his agreement, but most of the time he looked at the building with admiration, and then said:
"This is truly a great example of being prepared for danger in times of peace! Nanyang has no land threats, yet they built such a fortress. But what about South Korea? Sigh..."

After sighing, Quan Rihai took another look at the building. It was his first time to come to Chang'an, so the moment he saw the building, he thought of Seoul - it might be caught in artillery fire at any time, but there was no building like this in Seoul.

Last year, he won the favor of Park Jung-woong for organizing a street parade of Army Officer School students in support of military reform. Since then, he has risen to prominence and has been given special importance.

Now, as the secretary of the Speaker's Office of the Supreme Conference for National Reconstruction, he is visiting Southeast Asia with a South Korean delegation. During the break of the visit, he came to the street specifically to buy some makeup tools to bring back for his wife.

"Alas, Rihai, those are all in the past. From now on, our world will be ruled by soldiers. With the national reconstruction promoted by President Park, South Korea will soon be able to get rid of poverty!"

Yi Mingzhe's tone was full of expectation when he spoke. When he finished speaking, Quan Rihai said:

"The key is to win the support of Southeast Asia. The president visited the United States last year and won $400 million in aid. However, if we want to develop the economy, relying on only $400 million is definitely not enough."

Last year, Park Chung-ung was not yet the president. He visited the United States as the chairman of the Supreme Conference for National Reconstruction. For Park Chung-ung, who wanted to take charge of South Korea, the first priority after taking office was naturally to establish good relations with the United States. So he started his first visit to the United States as early as November last year. By "showing loyalty" and taking the initiative to propose that the South Korean army participate in the Vietnam War, he won the favor of Kennedy and obtained more than 11 million US dollars in economic aid in one fell swoop.

This is also the source of the $400 million in Haikou throughout the day.

Even though $400 million is equivalent to one-fifth of South Korea's GDP, it is still a drop in the bucket if we want to make the country prosperous.

"That's why the president is visiting Nanyang to seek support from Nanyang. Nanyang's government development assistance program is very important. Last year, Malaya alone received a loan of 5 million Nanyang dollars and an investment of 10 billion Nanyang dollars. The total amount is billion, which is almost more than million US dollars!"

When it comes to Nanyang's "Government Development Assistance Program", their eyes light up. After all, in the past few years, Siam, Malaya, Singapore, and even Surabaya, Mindanao, and Kyushu have all received large amounts of loans from Nanyang's development aid.

Last year alone, Southeast Asia's development aid program provided more than 4 billion South Korean dollars in loans to these countries and regions, including South Korea, of course, but the loans South Korea received were very limited.

"Yes, that's why President Park chose Southeast Asia as the first country to visit after taking office as acting president. We are here this time to help the president lay the groundwork."

Why do we need to lay a good foundation?

Because last year Park Jung-woong visited the United States as the chairman of the National Reconstruction Committee, but after taking office as acting president, the first country he visited was Southeast Asia, which also shows how much he values ​​it.

Not only Koreans think so, but also people in Southeast Asia think so. After all, the visits before taking office and the visits after taking office are completely different.

But compared to them, Li Yian sees further.

"Visiting the United States is a way of showing loyalty to his master. If he wants to take power, he must have the support of the United States. With the support of the United States, Yun Bo-sun resigned two months ago, and Park Jung-woong took on the position of acting president."

When talking about Park Chung-woong's visit to the United States, Li Yian couldn't help but sigh. "This guy is really not simple. Last November, Park Chung-woong visited the United States and held talks with Kennedy on South Korea-US relations. During the talks, Park Chung-hee clearly expressed his willingness to send troops to Vietnam for the United States. He even said that if the United States did not want South Korean regular troops to go, then South Korea could recruit volunteers. But the United States' attitude was neither agreeing nor refusing.

Park Chung-woong's actions proved how sharp his vision was as a mature politician: first, actively sending troops to Vietnam could further consolidate the US-ROK alliance and repair the US-ROK relations that had been hit by the military coup. Moreover, his regime itself lacked sufficient legitimacy, so he urgently needed to obtain US support to help stabilize the political situation.

This willingness to contribute to the "free world" naturally won the favor of the United States, which led to the resignation of the South Korean president, and Park Jung-woong naturally took over as the president. "

When talking about taking the initiative to contribute to the "free world", Li Yian muttered to himself, this guy is not plagiarizing my path!
"If nothing else, his attitude makes Washington feel very reassured. If they don't support him, who else can they support? Besides, in order to conduct a security war in Saigon, they need thugs, and having Koreans as thugs... is not a bad choice!"

It doesn't seem to be plagiarism. We are just talking about it, but the Koreans are really working hard! During the Vietnam War, they sent a total of more than 5 troops to Vietnam, and their troops in Vietnam have been maintained at around all year round, ranking second only to the US military.

In fact, the United States is really something. It has dogs at hand but doesn’t use them. Instead, it insists on fighting on its own. It would be so much better to use dogs!

Why do you have to do it yourself?

Since South Korea wants to "escape poverty with blood", let them bleed.

"Sir, since the big gift he gave Kennedy in Washington was to send troops to Vietnam, he will definitely not come to Southeast Asia empty-handed."

Li Guoren said:
"I'm curious, what can we have in Korea? After all, we don't need his blood packs."

Yes, Nanyang has no intention of participating in Vietnam’s “special warfare”, and South Korea just wants to contribute “blood packs”, but there is no such demand!

"Hehe, I'm curious too!"

In another world, Park Jung-woong did everything he could to obtain foreign loans. He even normalized relations with Japan in exchange for a $10 billion loan from Japan despite the opposition of the entire nation, and sent workers and nurses to Germany in exchange for German loans. Even when workers were crushed to death in a mine accident and nurses were raped, he turned a deaf ear to the matter.

In order to obtain aid from the United States, more than 300,000 troops and more than 100,000 laborers were sent to Vietnam.

This guy, in order to develop the economy...he really does everything he can!
The seemingly glamorous Han River Miracle actually hides another dark side of South Korea.

Because of this, Koreans have two sides in their evaluation of Park Jung-woong, but no matter what, it was that guy who pushed South Korea to the threshold of developed countries. In just over a decade, not only did he allow Koreans to have enough food for the first time, but he also increased per capita income 20 times!
Now, what kind of gift package will this guy, who will do anything to achieve development, give to Nanyang?
In fact, this big gift package, not only Li Yian is curious, even the Koreans who are about to visit Southeast Asia are also very curious.

No, it’s not so much curiosity as it is…what kind of gifts do they need to give in exchange for Nanyang’s support.

Lee Il-joo, the vice chairman of the National Reconstruction Committee, looked at Dr. Kim Jae-jeon and said:
"Nanyang is different from the United States. They don't need South Korea to send troops to help them fight. To be honest, I don't even know what Nanyang needs from South Korea?"

Adjusting the frame of his glasses, suppressing his inner anger, Jin Zaitian looked at the deputy speaker and asked.

"so what?"

Although he is second only to one person in South Korea, Lee Zhou Yi now appears very humble. After all, he needs help from others. Dr. Kim Jae-jeon is one of the very few successful Koreans in Southeast Asia. Although there are nearly one million Koreans in Southeast Asia, most of them are women who are married to Southeast Asian men. Some of them are laborers with no status.

"Doctor, you came to Nanyang twelve years ago and know Nanyang better than any Korean. So, the President hopes you can give some advice."

Although he did not like Park Jung-woong and his group of guys who graduated from the puppet Manchukuo Xinjing Military Academy, especially when he heard him say "Nanyang does not need blood packs", the disgust in his heart was difficult to conceal, but as a Korean, facing the request for help from his compatriots, Jin Zaitian thought about it and decided to give some advice.

"Nanyang does not need South Korea to send troops to help them fight, because Nanyang is different from the United States. For the United States, South Korea is just a small East Asian country that can be used and sacrificed. However, Nanyang, as an East Asian country, is sincerely willing to provide assistance to "like-minded countries" and help them achieve national prosperity."

“Yes, this is also the reason why the Speaker chose Southeast Asia as the first country to visit after taking office as Acting President, because the help from Southeast Asia is sincere.”

Looking at Li Zhouyi, Jin Zaitian said:

"In fact, the answer lies in the Development Cooperation Outline, which clearly states that we should provide assistance to "like-minded countries". You might as well think about how to become a "like-minded country" in Southeast Asia! Only in this way can you get help from Southeast Asia!"
