Chapter 904: Cold War Counterattack (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)

A few hours later, Jeanne and her sister followed the crowd out of the station, and walked out of the station together. People were coming and going along the way, and Claire looked around curiously. She always had a trance in her heart - they were in Chang'an!

Come here to find the king!

"Sister, are we really going to look for him?"

Claire asked, looking at her sister.

"Are we going to the residence?"

"Ah."

Jeanne nodded, but at the same time, her eyes involuntarily fell on the telephone booth in the train station, where a European man was standing, and she seemed to have seen him somewhere.

The moment he hung up the phone, Miller's intuition told him that he was being watched. He looked in the direction of his gaze and saw two women.

"This woman looks familiar! It's her!"

Although the woman was wearing sunglasses and a headscarf, Miller still recognized her.

Jeanne, the star of Nanyang movies.

Miller recognized her not because he had seen several movies in which she acted, but because of a rumor that she was the king's lover.

But whether it is true or not, there is no way to know.

But for Miller, he didn't have much interest in such movie stars, as long as they were not agents of the Nanyang Security Bureau.

After just occasionally passing each other, Miller left the station and stayed outside the station for a while to make sure that no one was following him before coming to the place agreed upon on the phone.

Z1 attack reconnaissance helicopter!
"Hellhound" anti-tank missile!

Perhaps for ordinary people, these things would not attract their attention. But for Miller, a spy, he immediately recognized its value.

In order to obtain information in this regard.

Soon, Miller met Clausen in the restaurant. He was a rocket engineer and must have some knowledge of this research, at least he knew who was working on it.

"I will try to gather as much information as possible on this matter."

Clausen understood the importance of these weapons to Russia and readily agreed to Miller's request.

"Although intelligence is important, you should pay attention to your own safety."

After giving the reminder, Miller asked again.

"You said last time that there were new baguettes being made there, right?"

"Baguette" was the code name they gave to the intercontinental missile.

"Yes, they thought the old model was too complicated and took too long to prepare, so they developed a new "baguette" called "Peace Guardian."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Clausen's tone.

It's really ironic!
An intercontinental missile that can destroy a city is actually called a "peacekeeper"! If this is not irony, what is irony?

"Oh? Any specific information?"

Clausen shook his head and said.

"Although this project is very important, we are not involved. It seems that a Tangshan-born scientist from the United States is the chief designer. He is very famous and has had contact with von Braun. I don't know anything else."

After thinking for a while, Clausen said.

"I will try my best to get information in this regard, but it will be difficult. After all, I am not directly involved in the project. If I try to find out the news in this regard, it is very likely that my identity will be exposed. In addition, the confidentiality level of baguettes is very high."

Miller nodded and said.

"Safety comes first. You must protect yourself. Only in this way can we better promote our business."

The two chatted for a while before Clausen got up and left.

After Clausen left, he did not return to Wanhu Cape, but continued to wander around the streets of Chang'an and even went to listen to an opera.

After he left, Miller did not leave immediately, but sat there calmly to eat, and looked around the restaurant for 10 minutes, making sure that no one was interested in him.

He then picked up the umbrella, newspaper and the brown paper envelope inside, and took the subway back to his residence. The envelope contained a piece of rocket technology intelligence from Southeast Asia.

A little before 12 noon, Miller was changing trains at the Xingye Plaza subway station. Just 200 meters southwest of him, in the building of Nanyang Defense Equipment Company, the Yugoslav delegation signed a contract with the company to purchase 145 Z1 attack reconnaissance helicopters, as well as 4500 "Hellhound" anti-tank missiles!

What is even more surprising is that the funds used by Yugoslavia to purchase these weapons were paid for by a credit loan provided by Nanyang. Not only was the interest rate extremely low, but the repayment method was also in kind.

On the evening of the day the contract was signed, this arms purchase order was publicly reported via television news without any secrecy. The Soviet Union naturally received the news at the first time. Moscow's reaction was naturally extremely bitter. Everyone knew why Nanyang did this.

"That's right, it's just to make things difficult for the Soviet Union!"

After learning that the contract had been signed, Li Yian said to Li Guoren.

"During the Siamese Crisis, the Soviets had basically sided with Siam. They even threatened us with their fleet. So, we sold arms to Yugoslavia just to disgust them!"

In fact, Li Yian knew very well that the weapons exported to Yugoslavia would be of no use at all. After all, the Soviet Union would not invade Yugoslavia and turn the Cold War into a hot war. But who else knew about the future except him?

"But, sir, on May 5 of this year, Khrushchev personally led a delegation to visit Belgrade, publicly apologized to Yugoslavia for the Soviet Union's responsibility in the breakdown of Soviet-Yugoslav relations, and signed the Belgrade Declaration to restore normal relations between the two countries. The confrontation between them..."

Obviously, Li Guoren still did not understand the Cold War, or it could be said that in 1955, not many people really understood the nature of the Cold War.

"Relations have been normalized, but the confrontation will not end! Their relationship will not be restored to its original state because of a statement, otherwise Yugoslavia would not rush to us to buy weapons."

Li Yian said.

"For the Soviets, they also know this clearly - normalizing relations will not change the normalization of confrontation! Now every time we provide Belgrade with an anti-tank missile, it means that their tank forces will be more dangerous, and the balance of war will tilt a little towards the West. In this case, Khrushchev will be very difficult!"

When it comes to making things worse, Li Yian is still very clear about where to start. Perhaps, the Soviet Union's "testicles" are not in the hands of Nanyang, but if they are pinched in the right place, they will also feel pain for a long time.

This also means that Nanyang has truly entered the international stage from now on and has begun to choose to respond to its former "friends" in an appropriate way.

"You should prepare for a visit to Belgrade recently. Of course, it is not just for the visit or the diplomatic relations between the two countries. More importantly, it is to finalize the repayment method. Agricultural products such as wheat, corn, pork, and beef are all what we need. We can provide loans, but the repayment must be timely!"

In fact, Li Yian has always been very cautious about doing business with the Sudong Group. After all, their credit is too bad. Although it has not yet appeared, it is just a compromise. But in a dozen years, many of their countries have become freeloaders.

The most famous is the Kingdom of Light on the peninsula. In 1000, it signed a series of agreements with Sweden, including the sale of 144 Volvo 2000 cars and Rolex watches to the Kingdom of Light. At that time, the Kingdom of Light was different from what it later became. It was not short of money and had strong financial resources in the international community. It had a high reputation and credibility in the international community. But who would have thought that they would get it for free and did not pay until the st century. Finally, Sweden was forced to pass a bill to completely ban its companies from doing business with the Kingdom of Light.

Therefore, you must be extremely careful when dealing with them. After all, they were all heavily in foreign debt.

"I see."

Needless to say, Li Guoren knew that this visit was ostensibly for the friendship between the two countries, but in reality it was to collect debts. Of course, if further trade cooperation could be achieved, it would also be an unexpected gain. After all, Nanyang is a major exporting country.

"Your Excellency, we are now facing the question of whether our response will provoke a strong reaction from the Russians. They will definitely choose some way to respond to us."

"Forces are reciprocal."

Li Yian said straightforwardly.

"There are some things we can't avoid even if we want to. The Russians will definitely retaliate. So instead of sitting at home and waiting, it's better to take the initiative. At least after taking the initiative, the initiative is in our hands and we can control the general direction."

It is a cold war. No matter what form or method is used, a response must be given, otherwise you will be considered weak and can be bullied.

Even during the "Siam Crisis", Nanyang was the one that gained the upper hand, but an appropriate response needed to be given within an appropriate scope.

Only in this way can they be reminded that Nanyang will never give up.

The biggest feature of the Cold War is that both sides were testing each other's bottom line, and now the answer given by Nanyang is to make the Russians understand.

They must stay away from Nanyang's absolute safety circle, otherwise, Nanyang will respond in any way and anywhere.

"I understand."

Li Guoren nodded and said.

"Sir, there is one more thing. Dulles is coming, this time for trade matters."

Although US Secretary of State Dulles had expressed his intention to visit Southeast Asia before, the plan was put on hold due to the impact of the "Siam Crisis".

"Um,"

Nodding, Li Yian said.

"What's coming will come! Just be prepared!"
