Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 699: South Asia is in dire straits (first update, please subscribe)
In fact, this is the normal state of the Cold War.

Throughout the Cold War, countries took sides one after another, each looking for a sponsor with only one purpose - to make money.

Whether it’s friendship, money, or doctrine, in the final analysis, it all depends on money.

As long as money is available, African tyrants can turn into ideologists, and ideologues can turn into warriors. In short, as long as there is money, anything can be discussed.

Of course, we do not rule out the fact that the old powers like Britain and France will stick green onions in their noses to pretend to be elephants, slap fat people in the face, and maintain the illusion of being a great power through foreign aid. To this end, they even had to tighten the belts of their own people.

Well, just like the UK, it cannot afford food for its own people, but it still provides aid to India and other countries every year.

And he still enjoys it.

With this money, it would be great to give it to Nanyang.

Well, Nanyang did take it too.

Money, no matter how much it is, is not too much. The reason why Li Yian took the initiative to come to Washington this time was not to explain anything to the United States, but to get something from the Americans.

But whoever is sick in the fucking brain would reject anything that is available for free.

It feels good to have whoring for free all the time, and it’s good to have whoring for free all the time.

Often only poor people are willing to pretend to be rich. When have you ever seen a rich man pretending to be poor? There were endless complaints there.

While explaining, Li Yian had already made up his mind to "adjust the speed" appropriately next year. Without some artificial control, it would be difficult to get this assistance.

After playing the "baby card", Li Yian said again.

Truman didn't even want to talk to this guy. This guy would be too hypocritical, if it weren't for the fact that we are old friends. I guess he would be more direct.

Not to mention aid from the United States, Nanyang cannot refuse the assistance from the United Nations Relief and Relief Agency. In the past, the largest recipient of aid was Tangshan, but now Tangshan does not need it. It is better to switch to Nanyang than to take advantage of other countries.

"Uh……"

Nanyang is really very difficult.

Nanyang will not do anything like pretending to be fat.

Truman lost his voice and said.

"5 million! This is the minimum bottom line! In addition, we also need assistance from the United Nations Relief and Relief Agency, 2 million US dollars! Now they don't need to assist Tangshan, this money can assist us."

The common people are living in dire straits. Can the kind-hearted American people tolerate such a thing?
If we don’t aid Nanyang, who else will we aid?

Truman, who listened to Li Yian's complaints and talked about various difficulties in Southeast Asia, didn't even want to talk to this guy.

"Poor, why not poor? The life of ordinary people is very difficult. It is higher than that of the UK because Britain, France, Germany and Italy have not yet recovered from post-war reconstruction. We only have tens of millions more than the UK. We really Very difficult.”

"You are really not poor anymore!"

When this guy said these words, didn't he feel blushing?
"Nanyang's current GDP is second only to the United States and Soviet Russia."

Now that Nanyang is in such dire straits, it definitely needs a lot of assistance.

"I have tens of millions of babies to raise, but the UK doesn't have them!"

"This is impossible!"

"Li, you are really talking big. Nanyang is not the only one who needs assistance from the Relief and Relief Agency now."

It's not because we are friends that some of the things we say are so direct, but because when there are interests between countries, everyone will not beat around the bush, and being direct can save a lot of trouble.

After all, negotiation is not love. Even if it is love, you can't just say "guess what you want". "But aid to Nanyang can bring out the greatest value of aid. Aid to Manila has become those guys' deposits!"

Li Yian's directness almost allowed Truman to break through his defense.

"The United States can assist the entire Western Europe to prevent being subverted by the Russians. It can assist Nanyang, not just Nanyang, but the entire Southeast Asia, and even the vast area including the South Asian subcontinent, to prevent them from changing."

Then Li Yian said again.

"Nanyang is willing to contribute to the world of Meda. This is negotiable."

Seeing that Truman was silent in thought, Li Yian continued.

"We have intelligence that Jakarta is currently actively in contact with Moscow. We have reason to believe that they are likely to turn to Moscow in the next few years."

Well, Li Yi'an started playing cards again, but this card is real. Because of the variables in Nanyang, Indonesia's relationship with the Netherlands has been extremely tense since independence. Coupled with the threat from Nanyang, Jakarta is trying to get closer to Moscow.

For Moscow, which is in urgent need of rubber and other tropical crops, although Siam's rubber supply can basically meet Moscow's needs, Moscow does not mind having another tropical country turn to them. So the two sides almost hit it off immediately.

Li Yian's words made Truman nod his head with deep approval.

"This is what I want to remind you. Indonesia's foreign minister is currently in Moscow. They are likely to sign relevant economic and technical cooperation agreements around the New Year. Soviet Russia is likely to provide Jakarta with a loan of 2000 million rubles."

The reminder from Truman made Li Yian turn his attention to him, seeming to say - you see, the threat is real. This is not alarmism, but reality. The reality is...except for Nanyang, no country can play a role in resisting Russia's interference. Role.

At this time, the importance of Nanyang is also reflected. If you don't assist such an important country, are you helping those guys who only know how to put aid in their own pockets?

"So, Harry, the Russians are now expanding all over the world. They are appearing in Europe, East Asia, Southeast Asia, the South Asian subcontinent, and even Africa. In this case, we have the responsibility to jointly stop them. their footsteps."

Of course, in this process, the United States must pay some small price. In fact, the price is not big, it is just a small amount of money.

In Nanyang, it is actually easy to be satisfied.

Li Yian can guarantee this with all his heart, as long as he gives money.

Looking at Li Yi'an who barely had his chest slapped, Truman almost laughed out loud. How could he not know the purpose of this guy's words?
"Li, although I am willing to increase aid to Nanyang, and I believe that at this time, aid to Nanyang is the most beneficial, but your atomic bomb..."

Staring at Li Yian, Truman said seriously.

"A country that possesses atomic bombs is no longer backward and poor. Under such circumstances, if it increases aid to Nanyang, it will be difficult for Congress to explain."

……

Truman's words made Li Yian feel a little melancholy. I've been talking about the difficulties for a long time. Didn't you understand?
"Nanyang has many difficulties, and it is also the forefront of the fight against the Iron Curtain. Harry, I think this is the point.
"The point is, if Nanyang is not at the forefront, the red wave will sweep across Southeast Asia. This is what the United States needs to consider. As for the atomic bomb..."

Li Yian said after shrugging his shoulders.

"It's just a weapon, and most of the time it's useless."

Nodding slightly, Truman said after a moment of silence.

"I understand your importance, but not every politician in Washington understands your importance. I need time to convince them, and I also need to make them realize how tense the current situation is."

This is your business.

In fact, Li Yi'an didn't care how Truman convinced the politicians in Washington that a heavy blow from the peninsula would soon make them all doubt their lives.

and then?
Aid to Nanyang will naturally come.

Sometimes, all the help is needed!
