the world is at stake

The leader's translator followed Zhou Qingfeng to make shorthand or something, because this guy didn't understand Korean.

At the same time, the entourage judged that the country should have sent someone to contact them long ago, but the reason for the delay in arriving was nothing more than being blocked by the coup d'état outside of Pyongyang.

The first visitor is no ordinary person.

General Jin Mingguo, the commander of the Pyongyang Garrison, the commander of the North Korean 5th Army and the 108th Mechanized Army, is the director of the Operations Bureau of the General Staff.

Ordinarily, this person should be Li Yinghao, the mastermind of the coup.He led a company of guards, used armored vehicles to clear the way, broke into the State Guest House, aggressively blocked all entrances and exits, and demanded to see the Chinese leadership.

It turned out that what I saw in the living room was a tall young man.

"My name is Zhou Qingfeng."

Compared with the eight guards with guns following closely behind Jin Mingguo, the young man only brought a translator of around forty.He stepped forward generously, stretched out his hand, and added:

"You may not know me. Let me introduce myself. I am the president of the 'Shengguang' Group, the richest man in Asia with a net worth of more than 400 billion US dollars, and a close partner of the Chinese leadership.

I'm sorry, the leader is unwell and it's inconvenient to receive you.But we can talk more easily.Money, power, sex, anything is fine.Rich people like me like to make friends with powerful people. "

When the interpreter was retelling Zhou Qingfeng's words, he saw that the waiter of the state hotel, who turned his back on customers, offered drinks, and then sat down in front of General Jin Mingguo.

General Tangtang froze for a second, then frowned, and asked the translator viciously, "Who is this? I want to see your leader, and I hope he will leave Pyongyang immediately."

The translator looked at Zhou Qingfeng, and could only bite the bullet and replied: "Our leader is indeed unwell, and the only one who can come out to talk to you now is President Zhou. He is indeed the richest man in Asia, with a net worth of more than 400 billion U.S. dollars. "

Those who "engage in the party and government" have a "rest". The entourage around him understands political rules and will never speak indiscriminately.The only one who can stand up now is Uncle Zhou.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't drink alcohol, so this time he made an exception and took a glass of brandy under his nose to sniff it.He continued: "General Jin, speak your mind.

True or not, we need a start.

I just want to remind one thing that China and North Korea have a "Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance", and the Chinese border guards can go south at any time.The distance from Shenyang to Pyongyang is only more than 300 kilometers, and the fighter jets came over with afterburner. "

The general corrected angrily: "The "Treaty" is for external invasion."

"We now believe that the current coup is an invasion of external forces." Zhou Qingfeng shook his wine glass lightly, watching the liquid swaying on the side of the glass.

The interpreter watched coldly from the sidelines, and couldn't help but give Zhou Qingfeng a thumbs up in his heart—this leader is very good at creating momentum, and he can control the rhythm completely.

I have to say that the current North Korean army looks bluffing, but they are actually weak chickens who can't eat enough.It can only scare South Korea with artillery, which is not enough for China.

If the north really wants to come, the North Korean army can't prevent it at all.

Jin Mingguo didn't have any cards in his hand, so he could only hold back his temper and ask, "President Zhou, what can you decide?"

"It depends on what you want?" Zhou Qingfeng asked quickly.

Jin Mingguo frowned even tighter, unwilling to speak.

Zhou Qingfeng took advantage of the situation and asked, "Is it okay to buy you to stand on China's side with 1000 million US dollars?"

The translation is a little uncomfortable, but I still relay this sentence truthfully.Your Excellency the General's eyes suddenly opened angrily, and he shouted: "I don't accept any bribes."

Unmoved by his anger, Zhou Qingfeng pursed his lips calmly: "I can really pay 1000 million US dollars to buy the commander of the Pyongyang Garrison and the commander of the North Korean Fifth Army and the 108th Mechanized Army.

There should be only a dozen or so people in Pyongyang who hold real power like you.Even if they bought them all, it would only cost [-] million U.S. dollars.It's a good price, I really can afford it. "

The translator did not immediately relay this sentence, but communicated with Zhou Qingfeng first, "President Zhou, are you kidding?"

Zhou Qingfeng asked back: "If [-] million US dollars can settle such a big matter, I'll be so happy, okay? If we really want to fight, the cannon will be fired, and the gold will be ten thousand taels—it's definitely more than [-] million US dollars."

Ah...that seems to make sense.

The interpreter is at the side of the big leader anyway, and has seen a lot of the world.But he usually meets decent people, and he has never met a... particularly decent person like Uncle Zhou.

"Is it really okay for you to bribe a general of a country and slap someone in the face with 1000 million U.S. dollars as soon as you open your mouth?"

"Quickly relay what I said, don't waste time."

The translator was a little reluctant, and euphemistically expressed Zhou Qingfeng's meaning.President Zhou continued: "I want to develop the Tumen River Basin in North Korea and get access to the Sea of ​​Japan.

I also hope to develop North Korea's resources, such as your coal mines and uranium mines.I can also invest in other things, after all, you still have some wealth.

South Korea is in a similar situation to yours, and can develop into a powerful industrial country in more than 30 years.You can rely on China for investment. "

But Your Excellency the General became even angrier when he heard this, and he just flung his sleeves and left.

The translator spread his hands towards Zhou Qingfeng, looked at the shorthand he had made, and said, "President Zhou, your idea is very good. But is this way of bribery too direct?"

"There's no time for detours now." Zhou Qingfeng didn't take it seriously, and sat motionless on the sofa, "Don't worry, the buyer is the buyer. You see, the general didn't mention to drive us away when he left. , I bet he is stepping on two boats."

Jin Mingguo left, but his guard company did not leave, and continued to stay outside the state guesthouse, mixing with the original internal guard troops.The two sides divide the defense zone, each occupying an area.

About half an hour later, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Korea sent a Chinese-speaking affairs officer. This time, the roll call was to talk to Zhou Qingfeng.When people meet, they ask the Chinese interpreter to leave the venue, and then ask about 'business cooperation'.

Zhou Qingfeng immediately explained: "I want to build a special economic development zone on the Tumen River, and the North Korean side can use land and manpower to buy shares. The shares can be distributed by the North Korean people themselves.

I just talked to General Jin Mingguo about a bribe of 1000 million dollars, which can actually be a benefit of 1000 million dollars per year.

You must understand China's desire to gain access to the Sea of ​​Japan.Even if the place is frozen in winter, several icebreakers can be deployed to ensure the smooth passage.As long as the thinking is not slippery, there are always more ways than difficulties.right?

The current coup in North Korea is definitely not conducive to businessmen's investment, and it will dampen my investment confidence.I need a stable environment, not chaos. "

The affairs officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs thought about it for a long time, but he was not quite used to this kind of "candid" transaction method, so he said for a long time: "Can't you directly convert the shares into US dollars and deposit them in foreign accounts?"

Zhou Qingfeng laughed: "I paid the money, and then waited for you to turn your face and refuse to admit it? Only when there are common interests can we cooperate, otherwise I am not a fool?

In addition, I personally don't care whether North Korea is ruled by the Kim family, but it must not be ruled by Western spokesmen.Therefore, the behavior of staging a coup d'etat is absolutely intolerable. This is my bottom line.

By the way, our country will definitely send people to meet the leaders.Please let the person come over, don't say no.This is the moment for you to show basic sincerity. "

Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand and drove the affairs officer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs back.

But after this person left, several personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came soon, including two young, beautiful and Chinese-speaking women in the name of...

Strengthen ties with Chinese comrades to ensure that there will be no misunderstandings.

Not long after the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs left, the support staff sent from China were put into the State Guesthouse.

Those who are "involved in the party and government" clearly expressed their unwillingness to "be escorted by the coup d'état to leave Pyongyang Airport, and must take our helicopter to go by themselves." '

In addition, professional diplomats still have to stay and continue to pay attention to the coup process, and relevant talks can be transferred to the Chinese embassy in North Korea.

but……

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK stated that diplomatic contact between China and the DPRK is of course very necessary, but the opinion of President Shengguang at the Baekwonwa State Guesthouse is also very important for the future relations between the two countries.

And the evaluation from General Jin Mingguo himself - President Zhou is not a good negotiating partner, but the president's negotiating skills are impressive.

Two hours later, under the escort of fighter jets, two "Zhi-[-]" transport planes arrived at the Baihuayuan State Guesthouse, ready to pick up those who "engage in the party and government".

Before leaving, the big leader asked Zhou Qingfeng, "Are you going?"

Zhou Qingfeng talked about him from left to right, pointing to the fighter jets flying in the sky and asked, "Why is this thing coming out now?"

The 'party and government' snorted twice, "Do you still remember those large-capacity tapes you picked up with all your strength? It's normal to release something a year or two in advance."

"It will work so soon?" Zhou Qingfeng immediately shouted viciously: "Since you are here, don't leave. Make sure I have these protective umbrellas above my head at all times."

A two-aircraft formation just flew over the State Guesthouse at low altitude.Two trails of white smoke were left in the sky, and the canards on both sides of the nose were shining brightly in the sun.

Chapter 54 Shooting Down

Pyongyang, Workers' Party headquarters.

This place is located on the west side of the Datong River, across the river is the towering Juche Thought Pagoda, and to the north is the Wanshou Terrace.Er Fatty's office, that is, the office building of the Central Committee of the Labor Party, is adjacent to the east side.

Guarded by tanks and anti-aircraft guns, the leader of the coup, Er Fatty's brother-in-law Zhang Chengze, sat in an office at the headquarters.

A Japanese-Korean joint media interview team rushed to Pyongyang half an hour ago. Jang Song-taek wanted to use this to appear in front of the world with a new look.

The office was refurbished, the head of the big fat man was removed, and the background was replaced with a divided map of the peninsula, flanked by the North Korean flag.

The camera position has been set up, and the reflector makes the light in the office very soft and full. The Japanese and Korean reporters are fully prepared, and they are waiting to start shooting and conduct a historic interview.

The time is eleven o'clock in the morning, exactly twelve hours since the coup d'état launched last night.

but……

When Zhang Chengze shouted "It's time to start" with a smile, the doors and windows of the office trembled slightly, and a low rumbling sound came from outside the glass windows.

A two-plane formation flew past the window, circling at low altitude over Pyongyang.

The roar of a large military turbofan engine shook the glass windows of the entire city. Even Zhang Chengze could feel his office trembling, and ripples appeared in the water glass on the table.

No fighter jet from the North Korean army dared to fly over the headquarter of the Workers' Party, and the only ones who could come here to act wildly...

"Is this a Chinese fighter jet?"

The Japanese and Korean media interviewed were well prepared, with well-written question memos.But when the roar came from outside the window, they all crowded to the glass window.

The camera aimed at Zhang Chengze immediately turned to capture the fighter jets flying by the window.The reporters saw it very clearly, the 'August [-]' military emblem was on the fighter jet... whistling by!

"This is a new type of fighter that has never been exposed before."

A 'Asahi Shimbun' reporter shouted excitedly.The camera in his hand was clicking and clicking.Several other Japanese and Korean journalists also squeezed to the window to grab the precious filming position, completely ignoring the purple complexion of Jang Song-taek who was close at hand.

Single-engine, single-seat, belly air intake, and extremely obvious canards, but the two-aircraft formation flying over Pyongyang with the "August [-]" military emblem, the meaning behind it is not just that the PLA has a new toy.

Pyongyang is a small city with a radius of only six to seven kilometers.The fighter jet circled in a circle at low altitude, its figure could be seen and its roar could be heard in the whole city.

This is deterrence, naked deterrence!

The meaning behind it is self-evident.

When the new fighter jets circled to the other side of the office, the Japanese and Korean journalists who took pictures couldn't get enough of it.They turned the camera to Zhang Chengze and asked:

"Commissioner Zhang, may I ask under what name did the Chinese fighter jets appear over Pyongyang? How does it affect the current incident? Can you comment?"

It happened that the secretary trotted in and whispered into Zhang Chengze's ear.The latter breathed a sigh of relief, and replied to the reporter: "This is a fighter jet escorting Chinese guests.

Um... We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to the Chinese guests by this incident.We also hope that he can come again after peace returns to Pyongyang, we will be very welcome. "

The reporters all showed expressions of 'You lied to a fool', and they almost asked face to face, 'Really?impossible?We don't believe it! '

How about coaxing ghosts, fighter jets are here, and you still want to let them go?You idiot, the chair under your butt needs to be replaced.

After a while, the secretary trotted into the office again.This time he invited all the reporters out first, and then reported with a pale face: "The American 'Prowler' is gone."

"What?" Zhang Chengze couldn't sit still, he immediately turned his head to look out the window, "Because of the Chinese fighter jets?"

Now the second fat man has not been caught, but all the traffic arteries around Pyongyang have been blocked by the backbone of the coup.As long as you work hard, you can definitely catch him.

But without the electronic jamming of EA-6B Prowlers, there is no way to suppress Pyongyang's radio communications.Er Fatty can contact other North Korean troops as long as he finds a radio station.

The prestige of the Jin family is still there, and the common people at the bottom will still praise the kindness of the two generations of General Jin even if they have nothing to eat or drink.Er Fatty only needs to say that there are rebels in Pyongyang, and the unstable coup situation will collapse immediately.

As long as there is a "just kill the chief evil, don't ask the coercion", even the troops that have participated in the coup will mutiny and return to the embrace of the Jin family.

With U.S. support, the 2016 Turkish military coup attempted to overthrow Erdogan.But Ai Sultan was full of bad cards and almost fell into a desperate situation. He just hid in the toilet and played video chat to make a comeback against the wind.

It can be seen from this that a coup d'état is a difficult job, and controlling communication is a necessary condition.But once the 'Prowler' is gone, what will Zhang Chengze use to control the wireless communication.

"The Americans say that their planes must not be shot down, and they are even less willing to engage in any substantial friction with Chinese fighter planes." The secretary who came to report the letter was already sweating profusely.

If Zhang Chengze is finished, the little fish and shrimps below will be doomed.

"Immediately order Air Force Commander Oh Jin-cheol to drive away the Chinese fighter planes." Jang Song-taek held his breath and said, "Talk to Mr. Marco Se. Please find a way to get the 'prowlers' back over Pyongyang."

There are two 'new fighter' twin-aircraft squads over Pyongyang at the moment.One of them swaggered on the ground, announcing his arrival.Another stared at the illegal entry 'prowler' from aloft.

A blaring siren was blaring in the Prowler's cockpit, and the four crew members were yelling at each other.

The driver on the left side of the front row was extremely nervous by the siren, and cursed loudly: "Damn it, can you turn this sound off."

"Idiot, this can't be turned off. We are locked by radar." The navigator on the right side of the front row was constantly operating the airborne self-defense electronic countermeasure system, but no matter what he did, it was ineffective.

"Has the radar countered it?"

"Already working, but not working."

"What about throwing chaff?"

"That thing is useless, the lock signal comes from above our rear side."

"Think of a way, otherwise we can only wait to be shot down."

"Ask the two idiots in the back, they are the professionals."

There are two crew members in the back seat of the 'Prowler' who are responsible for electronic warfare. They control the airborne AN/ALQ-99 tactical jamming system and five external electronic jamming pods.

There was a lot of noise in the front seat, and it didn't stop in the back seat.They are constantly flipping the switches in the cockpit, trying to find a certain working mode that can counter the JL-10A pulse Doppler radar that is locking on them.

After arguing for a long time, the pilot of the crew sighed and said: "Guys, give up. Look to our right, people can kill us with machine guns."

300 meters to the right of the 'Prowler', a 'new fighter' with canards is slowly approaching. The crew of the 'Prowler' suddenly died down and lost their temper.

The U.S. navigator still had the heart to joke at this moment: "Hey, does anyone know this kind of fighter? I don't think I have seen this thing before? This is not a 'MiG-29', let alone a 'Su-27'. Could it be that the 'Sukhoi 'Is there a new product coming out?"
