Chapter 2655
The coal-iron complex on the banks of the Datong River can be regarded as one of the most important industrial projects in North Korea. Such industrial upgrading involves many aspects. Even with Haihan providing technical support, it cannot be accomplished overnight. Moreover, related industries are all
Located in the northern region ruled by Fenglin Lord Li Hao, how to coordinate and arrange the balance of interests between the north and the south will also become the focus of this negotiation.
The Ministry of Industry of Haihan has formulated an industrial upgrading plan and has also dispatched several technical officials from Changhua to join the mission to negotiate with North Korea on the specific implementation process.
For the mission, technical difficulties are not something they need to focus on. The real possibility of disputes during the negotiation process lies in the distribution of interests between the northern and southern courts.
Fu Lidao: "The King of Joseon has stated many times, both secretly and openly, that he hopes to bring the industries in the Datong River Basin under the direct management of the court, especially smelting and shipbuilding. He does not want to remain in the hands of Lord Fenglin.
superior."
Shi Chengwu nodded and responded: "After all, these two industries are too important. If necessary, they can be quickly transformed into military power and threaten his rule. It is understandable that he would be worried about this."
Fu Li shook his head slightly and said: "If Lord Fenglin wants to replace the throne, there is only one possibility, which is to get the full support of our country. But if our country really chooses Lord Fenglin to rule North Korea, then there is no need for him to be in the north.
Form a powerful private armed force. On the other hand, if Lord Fenglin wants to use these industries to establish a private armed force loyal to him, he must first win the support of our country."
Shi Chengwu suddenly said: "So what the king wants is not just these industries, but for our country to give up its support for Lord Fenglin."
Fu Li said: "I cannot express my position easily on this kind of matter unless the executive committee gives clear instructions."
Fu Li stopped abruptly and looked at Shi Chengwu, obviously waiting for him to explain the specific instructions received by this mission.
Of course Shi Chengwu had nothing to hide from Fu Li, and immediately said: "The opinion of the Executive Committee is to maintain the status quo in North Korea as much as possible and maintain a balance between the north and the south. As for the industrial production capacity and related income in the Datong River Basin, it can be appropriately
Give a portion to the South to stabilize their position."
What is the stance of the southern court? That is absolute obedience to Haihan in exchange for Haihan's support for his rule and security protection for North Korea.
But if the ruling class headed by King Li Zhen realizes that its position is unstable, and it is Haihan who caused this situation, its position may naturally loosen over time. One of the tasks assigned to the mission by the Executive Committee
, is to solve this problem that has begun to show symptoms.
Shi Chengwu continued: "The specific measures are divided into two parts. One is the part on the negotiation table. Projects like steel can be loosened to North Korea in stages, so that they can enjoy more benefits. The other part is on the negotiation table.
In addition, it is divided into two measures: civil and military measures. One is publicity activities, and the other is the display of military strength. We call it civil attack and military attack. But the related connection work also requires Lord Lao Fu."
Fu Li responded: "It is your duty to do your best."
A meeting may only require a few words, but it is a very complicated task to implement. Take measures outside the negotiation table as an example. In order to achieve influence through publicity means, Fu Li needs to use local connections and invite Gyeonggi Province
Celebrities from all walks of life in the cultural circle will participate in the cultural exchange activities organized by Haihan and launch significant works to promote the bright prospects of cooperation between the two countries.
As for Zhu Zian's identity, Fu Li needs to mobilize his capable men to spread various news and remarks prepared in advance throughout the city. On the one hand, he will elevate Zhu Zian's identity, and on the other hand, he will emphasize the special nature of his working for Haihan.
Meaning. The more North Koreans know about Zhu Zian's deeds, the easier it will be to create the influence Haihan desires in this country.
As for the display of military strength, in addition to arranging public tours at the Han River pier, the fleet will also organize a joint military exercise with the North Korean Navy at the mouth of the Han River when leaving Seoul. At that time, many princes, including King Yi Zhen,
The ministers will also be present to observe. Fu Li will also be in charge of arranging relevant activities. There are quite a few yamen that need to be dealt with.
Of course, Fu Li does not have to do everything personally. After so many years in North Korea, he has still cultivated a group of capable people under his command. Most of the work can be completed by his subordinates. The really important work for him is
Teach these young officials how to sort out the many tasks at hand and implement them separately in this unfamiliar environment overseas.
Although these young officials do not have rich experience in performing tasks overseas, fortunately, they have been engaged in practical work for a long time and have relatively strong working abilities in the fields they are good at, so they will not expose the problem of having high ambitions and low abilities. As long as they meet the requirements
With a little bit of effort, they will know how to proceed with the tasks they are responsible for.
The meeting lasted until late at night. Shi Chengwu and the young people were fine, but Fu Li was already showing signs of fatigue. Seeing this, Shi Chengwu took the initiative to stop the meeting and asked Fu Li to go back and rest first.
Fu Li did not refuse, and before leaving, he informed Shi Chengwu that everyone he planned to entertain had received their invitations, and the banquet would be arranged for the night after tomorrow.
The content of this internal meeting did not need to be recorded in detail, but Zhu Zian still listened to the entire process as a member of the mission. However, the amount of information discussed by Fu Li and everyone in the mission was too large, and it was difficult for Zhu Zian to digest it by himself.
Somewhat strenuous.
Zhu Zian always believed that Haihan's control of North Korea was based on military means, and that North Korea would surrender to Haihan only after being frightened by force, but the actual situation seemed to be somewhat different from his thoughts. Haihan's control over North Korea was far greater than he imagined.
It is more comprehensive and covers all levels from top to bottom.
The upper-class people who hold the power cannot resist because they know that Haihan has already prepared a substitute, and if they do not cooperate, they may be replaced at any time.
Gentlemen and businessmen are the group that have directly benefited the most from the cooperation between the two countries. As vested interests, they are unlikely to sacrifice their own industries and futures to fight against the sponsors who have benefited them.
The information that the lower class people have access to is often spread by Haehan. They only know that working for Haehan can get better income. The security of North Korea comes from Haehan's asylum. If there is a chance to immigrate to Haehan,
, and the possibility of rapid success. To them, Haihan is a heavenly kingdom worthy of worship, and its status has even surpassed that of the Ming Dynasty in the past two hundred years.
