Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 360 Looking for foreign aid
Li You received a call from Chen Rongji the next morning.

"President Li," Chen Rongji said calmly, "I've thought about it and I think I should remind you."

"Vice President, just say it directly," Li You looked at Busan outside the window. The sun was shining brightly and the scenery was indeed very nice.

"Zhu Rongyi is likely to attack you."

There was no longer any respect for Zhu Rongyi in Chen Rongji's words.

Since reaching a reconciliation with Li You and Chen Dongji a few days ago, the relationship between Zhu Rongyi and Chen Rongji has been broken.

"After he knew about our cooperation, he no longer concealed his intentions," Chen Rongji said in a deep voice, "You are now in Busan, which is also the second base of the Daying Group. It is impossible for him not to have the idea of ​​taking action against you."

Li You took a sip of coffee and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Vice President. I will pay attention to it."

"Okay," Chen Rongji didn't say much, but just reminded him secretly when he hung up the phone, "I heard that Zhu Rongyi has a good relationship with some officers in Busan."

Li You narrowed his eyes and expressed his gratitude to Chen Rongji again.

Chen Rongji and Zhu Rongyi have been working together for so long that he knows something about Zhu Rongyi's power. What he said is definitely not groundless.

When Li You joined the army, he served in Busan. The Marine Corps is considered an elite military branch on the Korean Peninsula, and he knows something about the situation of the military here.

It's a pity that General Yin's position has been transferred and he no longer serves as a superior in the Marine Corps, otherwise Li You would be able to run rampant here.

"Want to kill me." Li You narrowed his eyes. The various anti-assassination abilities on his panel had not been triggered for a long time.

"Let Jae-joon come over," Li You sat back on the sofa and raised his hand for Yoon Ji-woo to call someone.

Jeon Jae-jun arrived very quickly, or rather, his only task in Busan was to wait for Li You's call at any time.

"President," Jeon Jae-jun stood up straight, "You called me."

"Chen Rongji called just now," Li You said calmly, "and said that the Daying Group might want to kill me."

A cold light flashed in Quan Zaijun's eyes, "President, do you want us?"

He made a throat-slitting motion.

"There's no time to rush," Li You smiled, "What we need to do now is not to kill him, but to find out how he plans to kill me."

"I understand," Quan Jae-jun straightened his body.

Li You thought for a moment, "Do the people who came this time have enough equipment?"

Jeon Jae-joon was stunned for a moment, "Bring protective gear and a pistol."

"I'm afraid the firepower is not enough," Li You narrowed his eyes. "Chen Rongji told me intentionally or unintentionally that the camp has a relationship with the army in Busan, and they may use some unconventional means."

Quan Jae-jun frowned and nodded quickly, "I'll ask them to transfer more people from Seoul."

"No need," Li You waved his hand, "If the main camp wants to attack me, I have better reinforcements."

"Better" Jeon Jae-joon was a little confused and didn't know what Li You was talking about.

Busanjin District, Busan Metropolitan City, South Korea.

This area is not prosperous, but business is good, especially the bars and nightclubs.

Song Rina and Jang Do-sik both have several here, as well as massage parlors and dance halls.

Li You got on a car from the hotel and headed for this area. His whereabouts were secretive. When he came out, he asked people from Kinmen Security to take over the monitoring room to ensure that Li You's travel was not monitored.

After all, there are some places we are going to that cannot be exposed.

Li You was talking on the phone in the car, speaking English.

"Ms. Amy," Li You said with a smile, "We haven't contacted each other for a long time. Is it a bit abrupt to ask you for help all of a sudden?"

"Nothing," the person on the other end of the phone was the daughter of the CIA director, who had previously come to the Korean Peninsula to discuss the smuggling business with Li You.

She was very nice. "Ever since Chairman Li expanded the tobacco business, we've been getting more and more money every year. This is all thanks to Chairman Li. You are a friend of our Intelligence Bureau."

I originally thought it was just a small amount of money, but I didn't expect that the money they gave would become more and more, and I felt like I was relying on them.

"Miss Amy, you're too polite," Li You said calmly. "I really had no choice but to contact Miss Amy this time. If it were an ordinary matter, I'm sure Miss Amy would know my power here and would be able to solve it herself."

"It sounds like trouble," Amy said with a smile, "President Li is so direct. Why don't you just say it directly?"

"Miss Amy gave me a list before," Li You mentioned the things that Amy had shown him and then burned, "Do you remember that list?"

"Remember," Amy narrowed her eyes, "Do you need their help with this matter?"

"Yes," Li You said with certainty, "In addition to giving it to Miss Amy, don't I also give them money every quarter? Now it's time for them to repay me."

Amy was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and asked, "Which area do you want to contact?"

“Camp Hialeah in Busan.”

"I know about Camp Hialeah," Amy asked after a pause, "are you heading there now?"

"Coming."

"." Amy was a little helpless, "President Li doesn't give me much time."

"If someone wants to kill Mr. Director, can Mr. Director give them a lot of time?"

Amy didn't ask anything at first, but after hearing what Li You said, she understood, "President Li wants to seek asylum?"

"It's not shelter," Li You looked at the sparsely populated streets outside the window, "I need their help, to intimidate some people for me, and provide me with some firepower."

"Firepower." Amy sighed, "I see. Do you also use this number to contact them?"

After getting Li You's affirmative answer, Amy hung up the phone. Not long after, she sent a message with a string of numbers.

At the same time, Li You was told that the Americans at Camp Hialeah had agreed to this matter, but Li You needed to pay extra money.

Li You glanced at the message, put the phone back into his pocket without caring, and paid the American military officers on the peninsula. He didn't expect them to help him for free when they encountered problems.

Normally, you spend money on gifts to maintain relationships, and you also have to pay a fee when doing things. It's the same no matter where you ask someone to do you want to do something for you.

The sun shines on Camp Hialeah in Busan Township, casting shadows on the not-so-tall walls and tight iron nets.

The light shone on the iron gate of the base, and the golden light illuminated the mottled rust on the iron gate clearly.

However, in this US military base, one can sense a strong sense of laziness just by looking at the sentries.

The sentries of the base stood in the guardhouse, the automatic rifles in their hands like decorations, their eyes aimlessly sweeping across the empty playground, occasionally whispering to each other, without any real vigilance.

On the other side of the playground, several American soldiers were sitting together, their uniforms casually draped aside, and playing cards in their hands flying in the air.

The sentinels' attention was often attracted by their cheerful laughter.

Not far away on the basketball court, a group of soldiers who had taken off their coats and were wearing camouflage short-sleeved shirts were fighting fiercely.

Only all the training facilities seemed exceptionally quiet, abandoned in the warm sunshine.

On the runway in the distance, there would occasionally be a few pet dogs walking leisurely. They were more comfortable than the soldiers in the base. They were all pets raised by the families of the big shots in the base.

On the grass beside the runway, there were some untrimmed weeds growing, swaying gently in the wind, and no one paid any attention to them.

Occasionally a vehicle would slowly pass through the roads of the base, raising a cloud of dust, but it would soon return to silence.

The barracks inside the base are arranged in neat rows, but despite their neatness, they also reveal a sense of looseness. The windows are covered with dust and the doorways are overgrown with weeds. It is obvious at a glance that life here is not stressful.

The hangar door of the base was tightly closed, and inside was the world's most advanced military equipment. The American flag in the most conspicuous position of the base fluttered in the wind.

"Go eat something?" A soldier who lost money playing cards threw down his cards and touched his bald head.

"Let's go to the cafeteria," one of the soldiers who won money laughed, "the meat in the cafeteria has tasted much better recently."

"You are so stingy."

Li You's car moved forward steadily on the wide road, and the scenery outside the window quickly receded.

Li You in the car was wearing a neat suit, his face was serious, and his hands were crossed on his knees.

His emotions were somewhat complicated. When he was serving in the army, he had come to Camp Hialeah to watch performances. He was observed like a monkey at the time, and the memory was still fresh in his mind.

When we arrived outside Camp Hialeah, although the sentries were lax, there were only a few cars entering and leaving the base on a daily basis, and it was obvious that the vehicle in front was from outside.

The two sentries looked at each other and smiled casually. One of them stepped forward with the rifle in his hand, but did not go into alert status.

After all, no one in this land dares to attack them, and it is even safer here than in their homeland.

"Hello," the sentry knocked on the car window, "What are you doing here?"

The rear window slowly rolled down and Li You dialed the number.

They were already prepared, "Mr. Li?"

"It's me," Li You nodded, "I'm already at the door."

"Give them the phone number," the person on the other end said in a thick redneck accent, "I'll ask them to let you go."

The sentry picked up the phone and his body straightened up immediately. "Yes, yes. I'll let you go right away."

After hanging up the phone, the sentry ran back and waved to the people in the sentry booth, signaling them to pass.

The fence was opened and the car passed through the iron gate. There was a straight road, and the first thing he saw was the same as what the sentry had seen before.

But if you go deeper, it's no longer just simple buildings.

Various armored vehicles and military facilities began to appear on both sides of the road. The tracks of the tanks were shining in the sun. In the distance, at a small airport, transport planes were standing quietly on the runway, and maintenance personnel were taking care of the planes.

"President." Jeon Jae-jun and Yoon Ji-woo were a little curious, because it was Lee Woo who had been directing the way since they came in. "Have you been here before?"

"When I was serving in the Marine Corps, I visited here and studied."

The car stopped in front of an inconspicuous small building. The soldiers here were different from those outside.

The car door slowly opened, and Li You stepped out of the car. He could see the tight security surrounding the small building.

The sentries in charge of the guard were much more serious. They stood upright on both sides with sharp eyes and rifles in their hands held with great vigilance.

"Mr. Li," an American officer in military uniform came out, "please follow me."

The others were isolated, and Li You, led by an officer, passed through layers of inspection, and every step seemed very formal.

Walking into the base commander's office, this was a place Li You had never been to before.

The battle maps and various tactical drawings hanging on the wall seemed to reveal the base commander's rigor and efficiency in all aspects, but these things were very old and were probably just decorations.

"Mr. Li," the base commander was a burly white man. He stood up to greet Li You. Their eyes met in the air. "Quick Thompson, just call me Quick."

"Hello," Li You smiled at him.

"Ms. Amy has already told me the purpose of Mr. Li's visit here," Quick waved the officer to leave. "How much do you need? We can't sell too much to the public. If it's exposed, it will cause some disputes."

Soft light came in from the floor-to-ceiling window next to the sofa. Li You raised his head slightly and looked out the window. The training ground there was empty.

"Not much," Li You said with a smile, "three times the price and it's just for rent."

Although Quick looked rough, he was actually very thoughtful. He grinned and asked, "What else do you need us to do?"

"You may need to help me suppress the Busan Camp Group."

"Daying Group." Quick thought for a while, "How far do we need to go?"

"They may send someone to assassinate me, and it is very likely that they are from the Korean Peninsula's military," Li You said calmly, "I need your people to negotiate with them. At least, we cannot allow the people who assassinate me to get any follow-up support."

"The Daying Group itself is not important here. The focus is on some military personnel who have close ties with them."

Li You’s essence was not to require them to take action, but to flex his muscles and let those who cooperated with the Daying Group understand that Quick was on his side.

"Got it," Quick smiled, "Deal."

"Mr. Li, shall I take you to see our weapons?"

“Can I visit at will?”

"You can't just take a casual tour," Quick shrugged, "but with me here, you can take a general look, and Mr. Li can also pick out the things to rent later."

The sentry stood solemnly in front of the armory.

Quick led Li You along the solid concrete road towards the armory.

The heavy iron door of the armory was closed, and the warnings graffitied on the wall were blunt and direct.

You can smell the scent before you even enter.
Quick had all the authority in the base. He took Li You into the armory, which was brightly lit and extremely quiet.

Rows of shelves are filled with neatly organized weapons and ammunition, from rifles to artillery shells of various calibers to containers filled with explosives.

There is also a large number of various types of heavy firepower.

It was also the first time for Li You to see so many advanced equipment. When he served in the Marine Corps, the equipment was not comparable to that of the US military.

He did not choose some exaggerated firepower weapons. After all, it was something that would happen in Busan, which would cause a sensation on the Korean Peninsula.

After selecting some, Quick grinned and said, "I'll have someone deliver them later. But they must be returned without any shortage, and they must not cause any major conflicts."

"I understand that."

The two men walked out of the armory, and it was Quick who took the initiative to say, "You said that the people from the camp and the joint military wanted to attack you."

"Could it be the newly built naval base?"

"Newly built?" Li You didn't quite understand.

"Pusan ​​is going to build a new naval base, which should be built in Busan Bay," Quick nodded, "It is expected to be completed in 2006?"

"I would have been transferred by then," Quick said. "Although it was under construction, there were a few Korean soldiers there."

“And the builder was contracted by Daying Group.”

Li You nodded thoughtfully, and shook hands with Quick before leaving, "Thank you for the reminder, Base Commander."

"It's a piece of cake," Quick said with a smile, "How do I pay?"

"."

Li You didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought for a moment, "Bank card number?"

"I have an anonymous one."
