.

After Strauss explained the situation, Lindberg had no choice.

The investigation results reported by Allen gave the president a reassurance. Although he lost six rapid transport ships and three strategic pre-installed ships, eight rapid transport ships arrived in Busan and sent half a month of combat supplies to the First Land Warrior Division. The lost supplies could be replenished within half a month through sea transportation.

Attacking Yuanshan is not a problem, but the Second Land Force cannot participate in the battle in time.

Lindberg did not hesitate and immediately approved the combat plan of the coalition command: the First Marine Division landed in Wonsan with the cooperation of three Korean divisions and opened up the second battlefield.

Because the combat plan has been planned and the combat troops have been deployed, the landing operation has only been delayed by less than four times than expected.

After two firepower preparations, the US Marine Corps will land on Yuanshan.

At this time, Fu Xiubo was meeting with Shengshiping and others who came with Li Pingkou in the head of state.

Sheng Shiping and others were very happy about the "big moves" of the central government. In addition to Ren Yijun, who had a relatively conservative investment strategy, Du Xiǎo Ran, Zhao Deliang and others all expressed that they would respond to the call of the central government and invest in the establishment of private banks to provide war financing for North Korea.

At this time, Sheng Shiping actually showed the strength of "the number one Chinese businessman".

When Du Xiǎo Ran, Zhao Deliang and others proposed to jointly invest in the establishment of a private bank, Sheng Shiping did not join and decided to invest separately.

Sheng Shiping had a very big appetite and promised on the spot that he would use the company under his name as collateral to obtain 500 billion yuan of loans from the central bank. According to the two administrative bills just launched, the private bank established by him who was solely proprietorship would receive 1500 billion yuan of deposit absorption and 2 trillion yuan of loans.

How much money does this guy have?

Li Pingko was very curious, and Fu Xiubo was a little surprised.

After talking about the main business, Fu Xiubo asked Li Pingko to see him off, and then left Sheng Shiping alone.

Although in terms of sijiāo, Fu Xiubo and Sheng Shiping were not as good as Li Pingkou, the two were also very sacred for many years. When Sheng Shiping returned to China to develop, Fu Xiubo, who was the deputy head of state at the time, played a very critical role. According to external rumors, the first person he saw after Sheng Shiping returned to China was Fu Xiubo. The two talked about several times. Sheng Shiping then traveled around the country for a few years, and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

"Lao Sheng, you have a big appetite."

Sheng Shiping smiled and said, "Head of the People's Republic of China and grasping the strategic direction, I am far from you, but when it comes to making money in business, you are definitely not as good as me."

Fu Xiubo also laughed and said, "I only know that you have to talk about making money."

"It also has to be discussed in terms of the method and purpose."

“Making money is not the purpose?”

Sheng Shiping shook his head and said, "For many people, making money is the goal, but for me, making money is always just a means."

"Then what is your purpose of making money?"

"How to get rid of the money."

Fu Xiubo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It seems that you have surpassed the level of a businessman."

"I will always be a businessman, but there are many types of merchants. Most merchants, for the purpose of making money, prove their own value by making money, and inevitably become slaves of money. If I want to make money, I will not come back, and I will not have so much time to do things that have nothing to do with making money." Sheng Shiping said with a sigh, "When I was studying in the United States, I was considering a question, that is, how to realize my personal value. At the beginning, like most people, I felt that in a country like the United States that advocates freedom, I rely on my own principles.

If you make money, you can realize your personal value. Reality is often more cruel than ideals. For those who are wandering overseas, money can buy almost everything, but cannot buy the respect and recognition of others. In my first year on Wall Street, the question that people asked the most was 'Are you Japanese?' No one believes that Chinese people can do so well. If you only realize your personal value, you are just ordinary people. Only by serving the nation and using personal actions to prove the national value can individuals become more valuable."

"If everyone is like you, the great cause of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will be just around the corner."

"The head of state, there is a saying that I don't know whether to say it or not."

"There are only you and me here. Are there anything else that can't be said?"

Sheng Shiping smiled and said, "I think there are three things that are indispensable for a nation to revitalize."

“What three things?”

"First is the fundamental purpose of the country's development and growth, second is the common values ​​of social civilization and progress, and third is the hope that everyone strives for."

Fu Xiubo nodded and asked Sheng Shiping to continue talking.

"Only when a country has a fundamental purpose, can it unite the people and let everyone move in the same direction. This purpose cannot be measured by money and other materials. Whether it is the economic reform that has been carried out for more than 30 years or the ongoing social system reform, it is a means to achieve the goal, not the goal to pursue. In history, any powerful country has a clear goal. Western powers are no exception, and the dynasties in our history are no exception. What we really need now is a clear goal."

“What’s next?”

"If you want to achieve your goal, you must unite all forces and unite the people. This requires a value that can be recognized by the vast majority of the people. It is undeniable that more than 30 years of economic reform have achieved world-renowned achievements and the people have become richer, but like the national goal, social values ​​must not be based on money. If you only want to make more benefits, it will inevitably prompt everyone to use any means for money, resulting in moral degradation and deterioration of the atmosphere. This value must be based on personal achievements beyond money, so that people can gain a greater sense of accomplishment when pursuing their goals. Economic reform has laid a material foundation, allowing us to provide more people with the ability to provide necessary and sufficient living security for more people. It is time to inspire the people's personal sense of accomplishment."

"What's the last one?"

"When people live, they must have hope, maybe they are pursuing money, maybe they are pursuing personal achievements, maybe they are pursuing family happiness, maybe they are pursuing children's health, or maybe they are pursuing social fairness. No matter that, they should be respected and supported, so that people can gain a sense of accomplishment while pursuing hope, so as to identify with the common values ​​of society and contribute to the development and progress of the country."

"You're right, these three things are indeed indispensable."

Sheng Shiping hesitated for a moment and said, "Under ideal circumstances, we should first let the people get hope from bottom to top, and promote the country's progress through the individual struggle of the people. However, our situation is quite special. Under the influence of materialism, the people lose hope and the ideal of realizing personal value. We can only establish a clear and unshakable national purpose from top to bottom, abandon bad customs in society through economic, social and political reforms, establish values ​​that can be recognized by most people, guide the people to pursue personal value, and promote social progress while pursuing hope, rather than turning economic benefits into the only life goal."

"I have considered all the issues you mentioned, but it is very difficult to implement."

"Anyway, we have to take the first step, and we have already taken the first step."

Fu Xiubo smiled and said, "Lao Sheng, so, are you very confident that we will win this war?"

"This is not a matter of confidence, but we must win." Sheng Shiping also smiled and said, "After Pingko talked to me, I was thinking about what consequences would be if we lost. This is not a war for the country, but a war for the nation. We not only can't afford to lose, but we don't even have the qualification to watch."

"That's why we have to join the war."

Sheng Shiping nodded and said, "First of the People's Republic of China, I can fully understand the difficulties you encounter in making the decision to send troops. As long as there are challenges, there is hope. I have talked to Pingko that if necessary, I will take out all my assets and support the country to win this war. If we lose, I will realize my life ideals in advance and lose all the money I earn. If we win, the Chinese nation can at least remember people like me."

"History will surely remember you."

Sheng Shiping smiled and said, "History is compiled by the victors. What we need is victory, not the mercy of the victors."

"So, what else do you think we should do?"

"Take this opportunity to clarify the fundamental purpose of the country, rectify the social atmosphere, and let the people see hope."

Fu Xiubo nodded and said, "You are right. Since you are on the stage, you have to show your position and let everyone know why we are involved in this war."

"This is just the beginning, far from the end."

"Then we have to take the first step."

Both of them laughed. At this time, Li Pingko hurried back, followed by Lu Fenglie.

Seeing this, Sheng Shiping immediately stood up and said goodbye.

Fu Xiubo did not try to keep him, so he asked Li Pingko to see him off.

"The US military has landed in Wonsan." As soon as Sheng Shiping left, Lu Fenglie spoke, "The first land combat division was landed, and three Korean divisions followed behind, with a total force of more than 50,000."

"Now?"

"Yes, what just happened." Lu Fenglie sat down and lit a cigarette. "The incident in the Busan Strait has been clarified. It was our submarine. The order was issued by Huang Zhibo through Xu Fantao. A total of four submarines participated in the ambush. Two submarines have sent back the battle reports. The main results were a Type 041 conventional submarine and a Type 040 conventional submarine ambushed the US destroyer."

"What's the reaction of the US military?"

"There is no other reaction except landing in Wonsan."

Fu Xiubo frowned, and the god seemed very serious.

"The landing in Yuanshan is the reaction of the US military." Lu Fenglie added, "According to Huang Zhibotijiāo's report, after the landing in Yuanshan, the US military will definitely not be able to launch a second landing battle in the short term. The situation is not very urgent, and there is no need to modify the plan of the ground troops to enter North Korea."

"That is, the US military doesn't care that we send submarines to the war."

"It's almost the same. After all, the United States has also used the navy, and there is no reason to oppose us using the navy."

Fu Xiubo pondered for a while and said, "Tell Huang Zhibo not to take a good opportunity, and not be complacent about the achievements you have already achieved. We must continue to work hard and give the enemy a greater blow."

"Don't worry, as long as we don't call for a stop, he won't stop."

"The preparations for the entry of ground troops into North Korea must be carried out quickly, and don't fight a defense battle on the border until the last moment."

"I personally arrange this matter to help Huang Zhibo solve his worries."

Fu Xiubo nodded and said nothing more.
