“It takes five hours to get here from Siam by boat. I miss you so much, Ah Jun.”
There was no deep embrace, no French kiss, and no sweet words. Just a single sentence, a few words, was enough for Li Jun to feel the deep love the woman in front of him had for him.
"Doctor, I should have come back sooner."
Li Jun gently tidied the doctor's hair, which was ruffled by the sea breeze, and said softly.
"Ah Jun, I..."
The doctor's words were interrupted by a deep kiss.
Two hours later.
A Cadillac sedan slowly drove through the streets of Saigon.
Looking refreshed, Li Jun observed the street scene of the largest city in southern Vietnam through the car window.
Watch Feilu: Jiuqiwulierbabasiyi
Compared to Hong Kong Island, this place is indeed far too backward. No wonder, Hong Kong Island is now the economic and financial center of Southeast Asia, the Pearl of the Orient.
"Ah Jun, are you really going to see the Russian marshal in this suit?"
The doctor looked at Li Jun's wrinkled suit and asked with a smile.
"With these things, even if I went to see Marshal Yegorov naked, he wouldn't blame me for being impolite."
Li Jun picked up the box at his feet and said to the doctor with a smile.
Next, Li Jun opened the box and displayed the three pieces of Russian royal jewelry to the doctor. Then, without hesitation, Li Jun picked up the sapphire necklace placed in the center and held it out to the doctor.
From the beginning, Li Jun had planned to give the sapphire necklace to the doctor, since the two pieces of jewelry were enough to serve as a stepping stone, especially since it contained Catherine II's crown.
It must be said that gemstones have a fatal attraction for women. Even a woman like the PhD was stunned and stared at these three pieces of jewelry.
"Ah Jun, this is for that old Russian marshal, don't mess around."
Although attracted by the jewelry, the doctor resisted its temptation, blocked Li Jun's hand, and spoke.
However, the doctor's refusal was ineffective. Li Jun forcibly put the sapphire necklace on the doctor, carefully examined him, and then smiled with satisfaction: "Doctor, you are so beautiful."
"Jun, you're really being ridiculous."
The doctor feigned anger, but her eyes were full of sweetness. Clearly, although she verbally rejected Li Jun's actions, she was very satisfied in her heart.
after an hour.
Outside Saigon's only five-star hotel, Li Jun is being inspected by South Vietnamese soldiers.
Because of Yegorov's visit, the hotel was under heavy security today. It was only because Yuri had arranged for Yegorov's secretary, Andrei, to come forward that Li Jun was able to get within 100 meters of the hotel.
"You can go in."
A South Vietnamese soldier spoke to Li Jun in broken English.
Upon hearing the words of the South Vietnamese soldier, Li Jun remained expressionless and slowly walked into the hotel.
Andrei had already taken the trunk containing Russian royal jewels into the hotel.
A few minutes later.
Li Jun once saw Andrei, who was dressed in a sharp suit and had his hair slicked back.
As a military region commander and secretary to the Russian Field Marshal, Andrei was definitely a young and promising man. Just by looking at his appearance, you could tell that he was no more than 35 years old.
"Mr. Li, please wait a moment. The Marshal is admiring the gift you brought him. But don't worry, he is very satisfied with it."
Upon hearing Andrei's words, Li Jun knew that the 100 million he had spent on him had not been wasted.
"Thank you, Mr. Andre. I also brought you some Hong Kong specialties, which I will give to you later. I hope you will like them."
Li Jun smiled and said the same to Andrei.
"Mr. Li, you are too kind."
Andrei's smile grew even brighter, and then he leaned close to Li Jun's ear and whispered, "Mr. Li, our Odessa Military District has two patrol ships that are old and in disrepair, and they are difficult to deal with. If someone is willing to take care of these two patrol ships, I think the Marshal would be very happy."
Russia's large warships are managed by the Black Sea Fleet, Arctic Fleet, and Pacific Fleet, which are far removed from the military regions. However, naval regions like Osas have patrol ships. Although these patrol ships, which are only a few hundred tons, cannot compare to large warships of several thousand or tens of thousands of tons, they are sufficient for use in the South Pacific.
It's worth noting that the flagship of the Luzon Navy was only a 3000-ton destroyer, which was produced in the 50s and decommissioned in the 70s.
Moreover, the patrol boats are fast, perfectly meeting the needs of pirates.
"Mr. Andre, I don't know how to thank you. I wonder if your family likes the specialties of Hong Kong Island?"
After saying that, Li Jun and Andrei exchanged a smile.
Ten minutes later.
Andrei, who was having a pleasant conversation with Li Jun, was called into the room by Yegorov. A dozen seconds later, he came out and said to Li Jun with a smile, "Mr. Li, please come in."
“Mr. Li, the Marshal doesn’t like outsiders to call him Marshal. You’d better call him Mr. Yegorov.”
As Li Jun and Andrei brushed past each other, Andrei whispered something in Li Jun's ear.
Li Jun nodded slightly, then quickly walked into the room.
Li Jun understood that the next period of time would determine the speed of his development in Southeast Asia.
After Li Jun walked down a corridor and turned into the living room of the suite, he finally saw the Russian commander of the Osad Military District, Marshal Yegorov.
"Hello, Mr. Yegorov."
Li Jun looked at the man in front of him, who had chestnut hair, was slightly balding, and was about 50 years old, and said with a smile.
"Mr. Li, please take a seat."
Yegorov did not stand up, nor did he intend to shake hands with Li Jun; he simply asked Li Jun to sit down.
After Li Jun sat down, Yegorov didn't exchange pleasantries with him and went straight to the point saying, "Mr. Li, I'm very satisfied with your gift. Tell me, what do you want?"
"Gun, armored vehicles, tanks, helicopters, warships—I'll take them all, Mr. Yegorov."
Li Jun answered.
“Mr. Li, if you only wanted these things, you wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to see me. Tell me, what do you want?”
After listening to Li Jun's words, Yegorov gave Li Jun a deep look and said calmly.
Upon hearing Yegorov's words, Li Jun smiled slightly.
If all you want to buy are ordinary guns, tanks, or even small warships, Yuri Orlov can handle it. Of course, Li Jun wouldn't need to go to such great lengths to find Yegorov.
In fact, Li Jun's words were a test for Yegorov, to see if this old Russian marshal was a smart man.
He wasn't afraid of Yegorov's shrewdness, but rather his stupidity. After all, a fool might collapse at any time, and only a smart person was worth investing in.
“Mr. Yegorov, I want to buy production lines for guns, bullets, and shells. In addition, you need to send engineers to assist me in installing and using these production lines. Finally, I need fighter jets and warships, really large warships.”
Li Jun looked at Yegorov and spoke slowly.
Now that he's come to Southeast Asia, he can't just kill Jiang Tianyang and leave. Li Jun plans to build a territory that truly belongs to him in the Golden Triangle. He will build a military factory there, train mercenaries, and carve out a place for himself in this chaotic land of Southeast Asia.
In particular, the gold mines in Luzon and Indonesia are Li Jun's real targets.
"Young man, are you planning to establish a nation?"
After listening to Li Jun's words, Yegorov asked with a smile.
“Mr. Yegorov, I neither have the ability nor the intention. I only want enough power to protect myself and the people I care about.”
Li Jun looked at Yegorov with a serious expression and slowly said.
“Young man, I can sell you guns, cannons, tanks, armored vehicles, and helicopters, but production lines, fighter jets, and warships are too sensitive. Even I would have to take a great risk. Andrei should have told you that my Osad Military District has two patrol ships, right? If you need them, I can be more lenient in terms of quantity.”
Yegorov said calmly.
Upon hearing Yegorov's words, Li Jun cursed inwardly as an old fox. It turned out that Andrei's mysterious act was all at the behest of this old fox.
As for the claim of taking a huge risk, Li Jun didn't believe a word of it. He simply felt that what Li Jun was giving him wasn't worth the risk.
However, Li Jun didn't care. He didn't really need large warships or fighter jets for the time being. The reason he brought it up was to raise the bar a bit and see if he could squeeze out more.
In retrospect, at least a few more patrol ships were extracted, which is not bad.
These patrol ships would be disliked by the Russians, but in the South Pacific, they are maritime tyrants.
“Mr. Yegorov, I’m pressed for time, the sooner the better.”
Li Jun made his demands to Yegorov.
“Make a list and give it to Andrei, and he will arrange it for you.”
Yegorov said slowly.
"Thank you, Mr. Yegorov."
After Li Jun finished speaking, Yegorov waved his hand, indicating that Li Jun could leave. Li Jun glanced at his watch and, wow, it had been exactly three minutes.
"Goodbye, Mr. Yegorov."
After saying that, Li Jun turned and left Yegorov's room.
That evening, Li Jun handed over the list of goods he needed to Andrei, and then left Saigon with the Doctor for Chonburi in Siam, where the Doctor's headquarters was located. The next morning, Yuri Orlov's arms would also be delivered there.
Late at night, on a cruise ship, the doctor was introducing the information of Jiang Tianyang, Guan Caiba, and Kunsha to Li Jun.
“Ah Jun, this is Lampang Province, this is Palau Province, and this is Chiang Rai Province. Jiang Tianyang and Guanchai Ba’s forces are mainly concentrated here, especially Guanchai Ba. He has a lot of influence in Chiang Rai Province and has more than 5000 armed soldiers under his command. Even the governor of Chiang Rai Province has to give him face.”
