Although Kim Jong Il has done this to the entire country, it is obvious that he has not given up external assistance. In fact, his temperament is similar to theirs for decades. If you can't rely on this, just rely on that, batch after batch.
The special envoy arrived in Beijing again, hoping to be able to persuade various officials in the government.
If it were in the past, these officials would have said a few words to the North Koreans after receiving benefits from them if it was just official business, but it would be hard to say if Li Cong was mixed in with them.
Even though he is young, he has a good reputation in Beijing. How many people dare to offend this guy in Beijing now?
Therefore, Kim Jong Il's envoys had no choice but to board the train back after running into countless obstacles. The reason for this was not only Li Cong. The North Koreans' erratic temper also made the Chinese government tired of them and wanted to
The idea of changing the dynasty is getting stronger and stronger. If it proceeds peacefully, it should be almost done after Kim Jong Il steps down. But now that North Korea is being messed up by Kim Jong Il, it is impossible to advance peacefully. Everyone is gathered to them.
In Pyongyang and Sinuiju, where the father and son are most powerful, it would be difficult to achieve success even with Chinese assistance.
Time has passed like this for half a month, and the energy group's spies in North Korea have gradually begun to send back some information. Good guys, households without food have begun to appear in the countryside of North Korea. Winter is coming soon. Common people
Not only is there no food, there is nothing to keep warm. The houses in North Korea are all old. If there are no matches to light a fire in the winter, people will starve and freeze to death.
Group after group of people ignored the government's warning and began to walk out of their villages and go to the mountains to cut down trees. Most of North Korea's military facilities are built in the mountains, so tree cover is very necessary. In normal times,
North Korean law stipulates that if a big tree needs to be cut down, it must be imprisoned for three to five years. But that was during normal times. At this time, people are freezing to death, so why bother?
Since 80% of North Korea's troops have been concentrated in Pyongyang and Sinuiju, there are very few troops in the vast land, and what's left are some useless miscellaneous troops, and their care is also limited.
It wasn’t quite enough, so after blocking it for a while without seeing any results, these motley crews also joined the ranks of cutting down the number of trees. Soon North Korea had another first in the world, that is, the lowest greening rate in the world.
The greening rate has dropped to less than 1%. There are bare hillsides everywhere, which is cheap for American military satellites. Places that could not be found before are now exposed.
Things for heating have been accumulated in the process of cutting down, but we can't go up to the mountains to cut food for food. Not even mice can be seen in the granaries everywhere, and each household can only sustain half of the food at most.
After being confiscated, they only had less than a week's rations, and in some places only three days.
At the beginning, you were able to turn three meals a day into two meals, but after a month, you even had one meal every two days without food. The North Korean people began to dig wild vegetables again. A few leaders of the Workers’ Party of Korea
They took a large number of Koreans to the fields to dig wild vegetables and eat various grains. They persisted like this for another half month. It is now November, and sporadic snow has begun to fall in some areas in northern North Korea.
Most of the old people who have experienced the last arduous march know that this is the most testing time for people. Now that the weather is cold, people will become even weaker if they can't eat. The most important thing at this time is not to get sick. If you fall sick,
If so, it would only be a matter of time before he died in this situation of no food, no medicine, and no doctors.
Most North Koreans began to stay at home to reduce physical exertion. Each person could only eat one steamed bun with mixed noodles every day. As for drinking, there was plenty of water, and they could drink as much as they wanted from the well at home.
Winter seems to have come very early this year. Major cities in China have already started collective heating. However, in North Korea, the wood is about to be burned out at this time. More than 10 million people rely on burning wood to stay warm every day.
How big a mountain forest is needed? If calculated, it may not be enough to burn even one Daxinganling mountain in one year.
In December, the weather has dropped to minus 5 degrees to minus 10 degrees. Now there are very few smoking chimneys in Korean villages at night. Most people are hungry and have no energy at all. Even if they have firewood, I guess
I'm too lazy to light it, not to mention it's gone now.
Li Cong looked at the information and said with a smile, "Kim Jong Il is indeed a talent. All the North Koreans can do now is lie on their own beds and wait for death. It is basically impossible to expect them to rebel. Maybe we should give
There's a little fresh blood injected into this country."
"Yes, our first batch of 50,000 trained North Koreans in Africa are ready to transport them back, and these people were personally selected by the Investigation Department. We have shown them everything in North Korea. They
The family members of most of them have been seriously injured or died in this disaster, and a thousand of our people are also mixed in. Although they cannot overthrow Kim Jong Il's rule, they will create greater chaos in North Korea.
There is still no problem." Number 1 said respectfully on the side, he has been waiting for two months, and now this opportunity has finally come, the time for you to fight the civil war has arrived.
"Haha, what did the North Koreans say about the procedures for them to return home?" Li Cong asked.
"North Korea initially did not allow these people to go back at this time, but we said we would only give these people a holiday, and we would be responsible for the transportation, and each person could bring one hundred kilograms of food back to North Korea, and each of us
We will pay an entry fee of RMB 1,000 to the North Korean government. Now those North Koreans are looking forward to their return more than us." No. 1 said with a smile. It is in poor places that the charm of money is best reflected.
"Very good. Let's hurry up. Once all the procedures are completed, we will immediately arrange a ship to transport them back. Well, discuss with the Qingdao Municipal Government and let them allocate a piece of land on the seaside specifically for these 50,000 people.
Hold a purchasing meeting and only sell things that North Koreans lack." Li Cong added this before leaving the house on the 1st.
No. 1 immediately guessed what the boss was thinking. These 50,000 people had already received four months' salary. Each of them must have at least seven to eight thousand yuan in salary. If you take the RMB back, you can't buy it in North Korea.
It is better to leave the things they need in China, and it can also promote the development of Qingdao's retail industry.
Of course, this is just one of the small profits, and there will be a big one later. When all these things are shipped to North Korea, the North Korean government will allow these guys to honestly transport the things they bought back to their homes.
Go? That is simply impossible. They will definitely introduce a law of this kind immediately to stipulate that these things must be turned in. At that time, the contradiction between the two parties will definitely be something Li Cong is happy to see.
The Qingdao Municipal Government immediately built such a temporary commodity sales market in the port area. With the purchasing power of 50,000 people, they only stayed here for two days, and each person had to buy thousands of dollars of things. Qingdao city officials thought
I was a little excited just thinking about it. Trucks were speeding towards the port area one after another. Of course, Li Cong's inspectors also arrived at the same time. We couldn't let these profiteers ruin Li Cong's plan. There were liars who took advantage of the opportunity to deceive others.
Pull one out one by one.
When the first batch of more than 2,000 people arrived in Qingdao, Li Cong was immediately dumbfounded. These North Koreans really wanted to buy everything they saw, and almost all of them spent all their money. Maybe they also knew
They wouldn't keep the money in their own hands after they brought it to the country, and they couldn't just take it all away if they were replaced by these things, which wouldn't be valuable.
What they are thinking about at the moment is that if they can keep a little bit, they will count. Besides, after being here for more than a year, everyone knows how useful the employees of the Energy Group are. Maybe they will be respected in their own country.
Correct.
In just half a day of shopping, these thousands of people bought nearly 20 million yuan worth of things, most of which were daily necessities. As for the gold and other luxury goods, no one went to take a look at them, even from here.
North Korea is really a poor country and does not need these luxurious things.
But there was one thing that sold quickly, and that was clothes. Almost everyone bought several sets of clothes, some for themselves and some for their relatives at home. At this time, Li Cong saw those people happy
He seemed inexplicably sad. I wonder if these people will be so excited when they see their relatives dead or emaciated after returning to China. Maybe they will ask to leave again if they don't finish their one-month vacation.
This terrible country, it would be best to rely on their mouths to report the current situation in North Korea to the entire world.
In fact, what kind of situation will these thousands of people face when they return to the country? It is not that Li Cong has never thought about it. He is using them as guns. Maybe they will never come back. Maybe they will become fighters for Korean democracy. This
All are possible, but what we are facing at this time is the muzzle of the North Korean Navy.
"The ship in front will be put out for inspection immediately. This is the 311th Coast Patrol Group of the Korean People's Army and Navy. If you dare to disobey, you will be responsible for the consequences." Li Cong chose a large passenger ship for these people, which belonged to a Russian shipping company.
, after all, there are only a few passenger transport companies to North Korea, and people from other countries except China and Russia are basically unwilling to go to that kind of place.
The passenger ship stopped in accordance with the instructions of the patrol boat in front of it, which had a displacement of only a few dozen tons. One question that the Russians on board were very puzzled about was how could the North Koreans bring such a patrol boat that sailed in the river to the sea?
, and it is almost thirty kilometers away from the land. It is estimated that such a ship has to cross in one wave. It is not as big as the lifeboat on the passenger ship. There are only two weapons on the ship, a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun and a 33
Millimeter rapid-fire cannon, there were about twenty people on board, and eighteen people came up. I guess everyone wanted to come up and see if there was anything they could steal.
"We belong to the Russian White Star Shipping Group. We are serving the employees of the energy group and sending them back to North Korea." The captain said in blunt Chinese. As for Korean, he would not be able to speak it even to death, and this
At that time, he felt that it was safer to speak Chinese, even though he didn't look like a Chinese at all.
A North Korean official holding a folder looked at the bearded Russian's ID and carefully handed it back to him. In fact, in the minds of North Koreans, these Russians are more terrifying than the Chinese. In the legends of their older generation,
The further north you go, the scarier the people are.
During the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus burned, killed, and looted when they came, but there seemed to be some people to the north of the Manchus who were different from us and were even more powerful. Those Manchus who were beaten by them could not find the north at all.
Later, when the friendship between China, the Soviet Union and North Korea was the closest, it was the Soviet Union that called Big Brother again. Until the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the North Koreans believed that the Soviet Union was the most powerful country in the world, so they treated the Russians more favorably than the Chinese.
Be more respectful.
Naturally, these people did not dare to provoke these Russians. One of the people who looked like a translator hurried over and said a few words, which meant that they were about to enter North Korea and hoped that they could follow the "warship" in front. They were here to lead the way.
of.
The Russian captain looked at the "warship" the translator said. If such a thing can be called a warship, then his own ship can be called a spaceship.
"Okay, no problem, you leave the navigator, and the others can return to your warship." The Russian captain said, and he felt very uncomfortable when these people boarded the ship, because he saw that these people basically
Zhang's roe deer.
"No need, we will just go in with your boat. We will see land in less than an hour." The translator replied while looking at the crowd over there. Such things also happen, and the captain did not.
They were asked to suppress their inner disgust and allow the passenger ship to follow the "warship" in front and sail into the North Korean port.
After the captain got off the task of sailing the ship, the Russian crew members began to work everywhere. The North Korean navy began to inspect the Koreans one by one. However, these people's inspections were very flawed. They did not pay attention to looking at people.
Just look at what they bring. As long as the North Koreans show the documents they were issued when leaving the country, they basically ignore it. Instead, they just check what they bring back to see if there is anything detrimental to the country.
The common people in North Korea also know that these people are dedicated to profiteering, but the current situation is like this. If you don't give them some benefits, they may be arrested on some charge as soon as you get off the boat.
Not all things belong to them.
"Hey, your shoes are pretty good. Why did you buy two pairs? There are so many people at home. Give these to me. The government hasn't issued new boots for two years. You can use these to support national defense.
"A navy soldier took the shoes from a North Korean woman and said.
"Okay, okay, this is for you, take it. By the way, I also have a pair of cotton socks bought in China. You must be very cold in winter. You won't feel cold if you put these on.
"This was not the first time this North Korean woman had encountered such a thing. Not only did she honestly give her boots to the man, she also gave him a pair of socks from her bag.
Sure enough, the soldier nodded very happily, stopped leaving the ink on her body, and started to go to his next target. Others also followed suit and began to blackmail. Russia, who was standing on the slipway,
The captain looked at this scene with some surprise, but these things were beyond his control. They were the affairs of other countries. He only had to send these people to North Korea, go to Vladivostok to rest, and then get off.
At this time of the month, if I drag these people back to Angola, my mission will be completed. Then I will have earned 300,000 US dollars, of which 150,000 US dollars are my own. Now I want to resist the passenger ship
Earning 150,000 US dollars a month is really difficult.
Soon these people's bodies were covered with blackmailed things. The leader saw that this was too outrageous and immediately summoned all the supervisors.
"Return the things to them and tell them to write down their numbers. When we get off the boat, we will have someone come to pick them up. If these people don't give them, don't even think about going out again. Just take a few valuable things with you."
After all, officials are knowledgeable and know that even after blackmailing people like themselves, it will not be easy to explain when they get off the ship.
When the ship entered the port, a large number of troops immediately surrounded the entire ship. This was not the first time for the Russian captain to come to North Korea. He knew that these were necessary procedures because this country has strict regulations on people returning from abroad.
They don't believe it, they must be educated to enter the inland areas.
"Everyone, listen, the things we ordered just now were thrown onto those trucks after we got off the boat. If we find that someone didn't throw it away, then you know what we will do to you." The officer threatened before getting off the boat.
arrive.
Just as five navy trucks were turning over to load things, several more green trucks drove up from the entrance to the port, and they were filled with soldiers with live ammunition. This posture was something the captain had never seen before. This was
What's going on? Are there American spies among these people? But we can't use these ordinary soldiers to catch spies.
"Damn, those bastards from the Army must have heard something. Brothers, they are copycats." The naval officer who got off the ship waved to the dozen or so navy soldiers behind him and immediately headed towards the Army cars.
