Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Li Xinghe picked up the rice ball, blew away the dust and filled his stomach, then bought her two stacks of curry fast food at the convenience store and asked:

"Do you produce M4 rifles or other US military rifles? What is the factory price? Can you produce US military uniforms, training uniforms, and bulletproof vests? I can help you import the corresponding mechanical parts you need."

The cost of a domestically produced M4 rifle is 1500 yuan, which is still a bit expensive with transportation costs. It is definitely not enough to make up for the blame of Lieutenant General Rupp, and the profits will have to be shared with partners later.

Li Xinghe began to consider North Korea's domestically produced AK or M series rifles. The price of their military products in the international market was only one-third of that of domestic products. The quality was good and the price was incredibly cheap.

Nan Haonu could only say sorry, quickly took out her cell phone and made a secret contact with the insider.

The two of them sat on the side of the road like a bankrupt brother and sister.

Despite eating a large bowl of hot pot rice, Nan Haonu still devoured the curry fast food like a little hamster and finished both men's portions.

After finishing eating, the message was replied, and she said with shining eyes:

"We have a production line for CQ rifles (Chinese version of the M16). As for the M4, there are only a few imitations, but it should still be possible to produce them. We can also help with military uniforms, bulletproof vests, etc. But we need to pay in US dollars."

Li Xinghe flexed his fingers and gestured as he thought:

"Brother, I will give you a project budget of 1000 million US dollars. I need 16 M4 or M rifles, and the rest... wait a minute, I will find someone to come over."

Thinking that he still needed to purchase helmets and combat uniforms, Li Xinghe simply took Nan Haonu with him and called Enola.

Soon, Enola arrived in a low-end BMW.

Li Xinghe introduced her:

"This is Nam Ho-nyeo, the granddaughter of the vice-director general of the Chongryon Association of Korea."

"This is (one of) my lovers, Lin Mulan, from Hong Kong, who has been engaged in international trade."

Both women were somewhat stunned by the other's presence.

After realizing that this girl was from North Korea, Enola was so excited that she almost lost her body. This was a rare North Korean diplomat.

After learning that the military warehouse needed to be restocked but lacked funds, Enola first suspected Li Xinghe:

"Tell me clearly, how much did you embezzle?"

Li Xinghe stretched out two fingers.

"200?"

Li Xinghe shook his hands.

"2000 million!"

Enola's eyes widened.

With such a small amount of funds, you can deduct 20 million US dollars?

Li Xinghe said with great confidence:

"It is precisely because of the lack of funds that we need the smuggling power of the North Korean side."

As for the US military, when they find out that they are holding goods produced in North Korea, they may even be happy, because the quality of the US military's original firearms has room for improvement after using Indian products, which is really a moving thing.

It was not until then that Nan Haonu realized that her cheap cousin was actually doing business with Americans.

She also received a new call.

After some communication in Korean, Nan Haonu guided the way and brought Li Xinghe to a container at Tokyo International Port.

Opening the container, underneath the cargo hold of a large number of wig products and drone parts, there are densely packed CQ rifles, bulletproof vests, ammunition and other weapons.

Li Xinghe tapped Nan Haonu's head:

"Damn it, it turns out that there are still munitions hidden down there. Tell me clearly, where are these munitions going to be sent?"

Nan Haonu also stuck out her tongue embarrassedly:

“It was originally sold to Burma, to PDF.”

PDF does not refer to the famous copyright rogue Adobe company, but to the anti-warlord government armed forces organized by people from the Aung San Suu Kyi government in Myanmar after the Min Aung Hlaing coup in 2021. It is precisely because of the emergence of the two arenas of the warlord government and the outgoing government that the civil war in Myanmar has become more and more intense.

It just so happens that the relationship between North Korea and Myanmar is notoriously bad, and providing weapons and instructors to Myanmar's ethnic armed groups has become a new source of foreign trade profits for North Korea.

What is more outrageous is that South Korea is also supporting Myanmar’s anti-warlord forces because the CIA is also targeting Min Aung Hlaing.

Neither the United States nor China looks down on the Burmese military government, so the various forces in Myanmar are as dense as a meeting of carrots.

With the coup and civil war in the past seven years, Myanmar's economy and education have fallen to the point where even India is afraid that Burmese people will sneak into India and has to build a wall on the border for defense. It is truly abominable.

East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia are suffering from the mess that is Myanmar.

The residents of Myanmar are even straighter than ever before.

Chapter 391: There is still room for discounts, the bad woman comes out, I like big ones

Li Xinghe inspected the box, which was marked as Rakhine Naomi Wig Import and Export Company.

In this small cabin filled with all kinds of wigs, which was shipped by a freight company in Niigata, Japan, the mezzanine is filled with North Korean-made CQ rifles (M16 made in China) and Type 89 rifles (modified AK-74), the latter of which is even more numerous. North Korea exports CQ rifles, on the one hand because it has new rifles to replace, and on the other hand because Myanmar has more 5.56 American ammunition, and CQ rifles have a high premium, which can earn more foreign exchange.

Nan Haonu smiled beautifully, as if she was really selling wigs:

"There are 300 rifles in this box, and 270 in the box next to it. The whole batch is about 6000 rifles. We have both CQ series and AK series rifles in our cargo. You shouldn't mind, right?"

"Sure. But you must deliver the remaining goods within two weeks. Don't worry about customs review. Just ship the goods to Mulan's Rock International Logistics."

Li Xinghe definitely doesn't care, he just wants to complete the task as soon as possible.

After carefully checking the quality of the gun, although the workmanship was rough, it was definitely usable. Enola contacted her company's employees to pick up the goods at the dock temporarily, and she drove herself and took Li Xinghe and Nan Haonu to find a hotel nearby.

Naturally, the three of them stayed in the International Media Hotel under Li Xinghe's name. Although the first batch of accommodation rooms were prefabricated single rooms that were advertised as environmentally friendly, they developed into a normal hotel from the arrival of the second batch of prefabricated parts. There are also rooms with twin beds and double beds.

Li Xinghe and two other people booked a twin room.

Enola smiled lightly, her delicate face revealing a bit of murderousness of a businessman. She first pulled Nan Haonu to the bathroom to wash up, using her strong height to build up a psychological advantage over the girl who was only 2 cm taller than Takajo Satsuki but looked very pure and girlish.

When the two girls walked out of the room hand in hand, one was tall and straight, with long platinum hair, a typical New York urban beauty, and the other was petite, fresh and cute, just like the girl next door in high school.

But when the two men sat down, they were discussing the arms business:

Enola opened her iPad and listed the prices of the two arms smuggling cases that were caught in North Korea, saying:

"It's time to settle accounts. I think the weapons exported by North Korea should be traded at a price of $170 each."

Indeed, North Korea exports weapons at extremely low prices.

But Nan Haonu still had the knack of gritting her teeth. She hugged Li Xinghe's arm tightly:

"No, my brother said, $1000 million is worth rifles."

Li Xinghe slowly typed a question mark.

Then he suddenly realized, oh no, there was actually room for further price cuts.

Enola glared at Li Xinghe:

"What a nuisance."

Li Xinghe was shocked:

"You actually cursed me in the vernacular."

"I'm still scolding you for being a believer, get out of here. We're talking about business, and this is a business occasion."

Enola pulled up her sleeve and kicked Li Xinghe to the next bed, confronting Nan Haonu:

"I must point out that the price of your North Korean exported weapons has always been low, and there are very few rifles that cost more than $200. Therefore, based on past prices, comprehensive..."

"Otherwise, you are in urgent need of weapons to make up for the shortfalls of the US military. This is..."

The two women were arguing over each other, fighting over prices of $10 and $5, and struggling for every penny.

From this perspective, Enola does have the temperament of a Cantonese businessman. Perhaps her 256/ Cantonese ancestry is really useful.

When Li Xinghe was drowsy, the fight between the two ended and the price of the rifle was settled at US$200 per rifle.

However, this also comes with strings attached.

"The money beyond the 1000 million US dollars must be used to purchase our goods." Nan Haonu counted on her fingers.

The money can be discounted, but it must all be spent in North Korea.

"Do you have the shoes, socks, combat uniforms, and training uniforms of the U.S. military?"

"Yes, but it's the Korean version."

"enough."

After a heated argument, Li Xinghe's $1000 million order was revised to 3 CQ or AK rifles, 3000 million rounds of ammunition, several tens of thousands of American-made imitation grenades, tens of thousands of imitation combat uniforms, training uniforms, underwear, shoes and socks, etc. All the small parts and ammunition were bought in one go.

After finishing the account book here, Enola skillfully began to calculate the expenditure on the other side:

"Then we only need to buy bulletproof vests, plates, helmets and boots made in China."

After calculation, if they were to be purchased at the quality of military products, they would need about 2400 million US dollars. This meant that Li Xinghe had to take out the 2000 million he had hidden, and it would be even more difficult to use the remaining 2000 million to share the spoils with the Maleki team.

Therefore, Li Xinghe believes that there is still room for decline:

"Is it really necessary to buy bulletproof plates? There is no need to buy helmets of authentic quality, right? It would be nice to place civilian orders for military boots in Wenzhou and Putian, too?"

Li Xinghe's questions are very magical, but they are not false.

Because as early as the Iraq War, American soldiers found that they had to spend money to buy military equipment when they went to the battlefield. Not everyone could get bulletproof plates, helmets and military boots, and even eating pizza had to pay for it themselves. So Li Xinghe's proposal was very reasonable.

This spirit has been passed down. For example, when the Israeli army goes to war, soldiers have to bring their own boots. If the supplies distributed by the army are damaged, they have to pay out of their own pockets to replace them.

Enola understood it instantly:

"We only need to buy a small amount of bulletproof plates. We will buy commercial products for helmets, military boots, and bulletproof vests, and place large orders..."

After a simple calculation, this problem can be solved by paying less than US$380 per set.

The total expenditure is a little over 2000 million.

As for whether the American soldiers could bear it or not, that was not something Li Xinghe needed to consider. Anyway, these were just scraps to settle accounts in the warehouse, and their value was similar to the paper money burned for ancestors during festivals, and the main purpose was to fool the ghosts. Whether it was the Ministry of National Defense or the headquarters, they all had a tacit understanding in their hearts.

As long as the things are nominally still there, the mission has been accomplished honorably.

What if there is a war?

No one knows, so we just close our eyes and pretend the risk doesn’t exist.

After reading the entire quotation sheet, Li Xinghe couldn't help but shed tears.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you. You have to get the lion's share of the 1000 million."

To his shame, he had secretly embezzled $2000 million, and now Enola and Nan Haonu had helped him save another $2000 million from the $1000 million in additional gun expenses.

Only 3 million out of the 5000 million dollars in procurement funds were distributed, and they also embezzled % of the procurement funds in one go.

To Li Xinghe, the money from corruption and intelligence trading was all useful. He wanted to use it to invest in the equity structure of the online car-hailing company. In the foreseeable future, Tokyo's online car-hailing business would definitely make a fortune, so this was his original stock.

After finishing the procurement work for the US military, Li Xinghe pushed Enola aside and sat opposite Nan Haonu:

"Well, let's sit down and have a good chat. Which side of the North Korean Ministry of National Security are you on?"

"I told you, I'm in charge of overseas Chinese affairs in Japan. I'm Aunt Kaneko's niece."

Nan Haonu's cute smile.

But just now she was roaring at Lin Mulan like little lionesses because of the bullet quota.

So Li Xinghe opened up and said:

"Don't be ridiculous. You are definitely not the niece of Chiyonobu Kohei's wife. He can already be my grandfather. Is his wife's niece as cute and innocent as you? Use your brain. Since you know my information, you should understand that I hate lying. Sincerity is the premise of our cooperation."

Nan Haonu knelt down in front of Li Xinghe cheerfully and naturally, bowed slightly, and smiled brightly:

"I am Nan Haonu, the director of the Japanese Department of the Third Section of the Foreign Counterintelligence Bureau of the Ministry of National Security of North Korea. I have heard of your chameleon-like name for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you in person today. You are indeed as unpredictable as a chameleon."

As countries deeply influenced by the old Japanese colonial system, North Korea and South Korea both retain a large number of positions such as section chief, department head, and director. The position level that Nan Haonu claimed was equivalent to that of Dongchuan Xueshi in the ninth department of the Public Security Department.

"Sure. What are your plans next? Do you want to join the Public Security Bureau? Or work for the U.S. military intelligence agency? I have a job at a U.S. military intelligence eavesdropping station (a joint project between the National Security Agency/Army and the Japanese government), and we need help."

Li Xinghe continued to ask.

"What's the price? Is it... being your lover?" Nan Haonu was happy, but she also knew that she had to pay something, so she clenched her hands.

"Uh, no, I like women with big butts."
