Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

Chapter 557: The Test of South Korea

Grand Hotel.

A hotel opened by Koreans in Beijing.

As they were talking, the convoy slowly stopped in front of the Dazong Hotel.

The car door opened, and a group of bodyguards in black quickly got out of the car. They looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that the environment was safe, Young Master Chu and Bai Xiaolu got out one after another.

Under the guidance of the hotel staff, Young Master Chu and his party stepped into a spacious private room.

"Hello, General Chu!"

Following the waiter's guidance, Young Master Chu entered the box. Mu Zairong immediately stood up to greet him, his face full of smiles and enthusiasm.

"President Mu, long time no see."

Young Master Chu smiled and shook hands with Mu Zairong, but his eyes sharply swept over the middle-aged man in his fifties standing behind him.

Noticing Young Master Chu's gaze, Mu Zairong hurriedly introduced, "General Chu, this is our South Korean Defense Minister, His Excellency Lee Byung-chan, who has come with me to visit you."

"General Chu, I have long heard of your name. I am Lee Byung-chan, the South Korean Defense Minister."

The tall Li Bingcan hurriedly extended his hand to Young Master Chu and nodded.

"Hello there!"

Young Master Chu smiled back, but his deep eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, making Li Bingcan feel as if his purpose was also seen through by the young man in front of him.

"General Chu, President Bai, please take a seat!"

Mu Zaiyong warmly asked everyone to sit down and asked the waiter to serve tea.

The decoration in the box is elegant yet modern, and the warm lighting makes the entire space cozy and comfortable.

At Mu Zairong's enthusiastic invitation, Young Master Chu and Bai Xiaolu took their seats, while Li Bingcan and Mu Zairong sat opposite them with a smile.

Soon, the waiter in formal attire busily placed the tea sets and some Korean fine snacks in the place. The air was immediately filled with a faint scent of tea, and then he bowed and left.

"General Chu, time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, we have known each other for more than two years..."

Mu Zairong cleared his throat and took the initiative to break the silence, recalling how he first met Mr. Chu: "Of course, it was also thanks to Mr. Bai's introduction that I had the honor of meeting General Chu..."

"hehe!"

Young Master Chu chuckled, interrupting Mu Zairong's words that were about to bring the two closer together, and said calmly: "You two would not come to my temple for no reason. I have other plans tonight, so you can just tell me what you want to say."

As soon as Young Master Chu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the box suddenly became a little solemn.

The smile on Mu Zairong's face faded slightly, and he turned his head to look at Li Bingcan beside him.

"General Chu, you are very busy. It is a great honor for you to take the time to meet us tonight."

Li Bingcan coughed lightly, sorted out his thoughts, took over the conversation, and began to switch to the topic:

"It's like this. When our commander heard that Daxia had agreed to the invitation from Eagle Sauce Country and was ready to take over our country's defense, he was very happy and asked us to come and meet you immediately."

"Oh!"

Young Master Chu listened to Li Bingcan's words, stared at him for two seconds, pulled his lip, and let out a sigh, with no belief in his heart.

South Korea's self-esteem is the highest in the world, and there have long been voices among the people calling for the country to take back its wartime command, so how could it be so easy to welcome Daxia's garrison. Even though North Korea has been making frequent moves in recent days.

Some words need to be heard in reverse.

Thinking of this, Young Master Chu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint arc: "Where did your country get this news from? How come I don't know it?"

Young Master Chu's tone was teasing, and then he picked up the teacup and took a sip gently. The tea bloomed on the tip of his tongue, as if even this small action was conveying some kind of message.

When asked about the source of the news, Li Bingcan was obviously stunned for a moment, and then laughed awkwardly:

"Haha, this may be some misunderstanding. After all, the international situation is changing rapidly, and information is bound to be biased. However, if there is really an opportunity, we in South Korea are very welcome to cooperate more closely with Daxia on defense issues."

"is it?"

Young Master Chu slowly put down his teacup and looked at Li Bingcan again. There was a hint of inquiry in his eyes. He pondered for a moment.

"General Li, do you really mean what you said?"

"This one……"

Under the sharp hawk-like gaze of Young Master Chu, Li Bingcan hesitated, and beads of sweat inadvertently seeped out of his forehead. Under that deep gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, he replied after a while:

"General Chu, in fact, we in South Korea have been working hard to improve our defense system in recent years, and we are confident that we can achieve independent defense..."

"So, you don't actually want Daxia to move in, right?"

Young Master Chu's face gradually darkened, the temperature in the air seemed to drop suddenly, and his tone was ice-cold.

"Of course... not really."

Facing the powerful Mr. Chu, Li Bingcan couldn't help but shrink his neck and subconsciously said something against his will:

"In fact, our leader also welcomes Daxia's garrison. After all, this can prevent our northern neighbor from taking risks... However, it is difficult to explain to the people."

"General Chu."

Mu Zaiyong took over the topic at the right time and tried to explain: "Your Excellency the Minister of Defense just wants to express that we are capable and willing to assume our own defense responsibilities...but we also welcome assistance and support from Daxia.

In this complex international environment, no country can stand alone. We need friends, especially a strong neighbor like Daxia. "

"Really? General Lee?"

Young Master Chu picked up the teacup, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with brilliance as he looked at Li Bingcan.

"of course."

Li Bingcan nodded without hesitation, as if he was afraid that if he delayed for a moment, Daxia's million-strong army would be at the gates of the city.

Young Master Chu twitched his lips, thinking of the result of the discussion with his godfather last night. A cunning light flashed in his eyes, and he put down the teacup in his hand:

"You two are worrying too much. Daxia has always advocated peaceful coexistence and common development. We always adhere to the principle of independence in international affairs.

We have our own criteria for defense cooperation, the most important of which is that cooperation must be based on equality, respect, and mutual benefit and win-win results.

Whether South Korea is willing to accept Bactria’s garrison is not actually the most important issue. The key lies in whether the two countries can find common interests and how to build a long-term and stable strategic partnership.

Daxia has no intention of forcing any country to accept our existence, but at the same time, we also expect our partners to show full trust and sincerity. "

The atmosphere in the box fell silent again, and everyone was digesting Young Master Chu's remarks.

Li Bingcan and Mu Zairong exchanged glances, conveying complex emotions to each other.

Although Mr. Chu's words were plain, or even clichéd, but coming from the mouth of this young man, every word carried a profound meaning and had to be savored carefully.
