Volume 3 Chapter 105: Poisonous Shrimp

  Liu Suohua found himself just like Zhou Huijie said, "not a man at all!" Last night in the hotel bathroom, Liu Suohua ultimately did not complete the feat of taking a bath with Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan! It wasn't that the two beauties didn't agree. But rather Liu Suohua felt it couldn't be done! Some things are better taken one step at a time," history has proven that the Great Leap Forward will end in disaster.

  However, that night when the three of them slept together, the atmosphere was still very lively! Of course, Liu Ruihua is a very innocent person, and it just stopped at that.

  The next day. The global stock market continued to plummet, but Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan were extremely excited as they watched the US stock market plummet! This was a huge profit!

  Li Shanshan is busy making money while not forgetting her work as a journalist. Liu Xiaohua only now knows that Li Shanshan is actually an American journalist! The TV network she works for has global coverage and is often the first to report on sudden events. Seeing the well-known American journalist cheering at the sharp decline of the US stock market, Liu Xiaohua finds this very amusing.

  The whole morning, Liu Suohua felt a bit bored and homesick, sitting there thinking of home, especially wanting to return to the country. This is what they call "homesickness like an arrow", right? Only this morning did Liu Suohua understand why he was told to take a detour through Hong Kong to return to the country: "It's because our country and Singapore haven't established diplomatic relations yet!" This... Singapore's founding father is Chinese, and now we still haven't established diplomatic relations with them? This made Liu Suohua feel a bit tearfully amused.

  No diplomatic relations, it can also be said that the relationship is very general! He ran to a country with a very general relationship with our country and inexplicably got involved with the military of this country. Liu Suohua thought about it and got a headache! No matter how Liu Suohua excuses himself. But Li Shanshan's brother is a major general in the Singaporean army. This point is enough!

  There's a saying that goes: "The more you fear something, the more it comes to you." Li Shanshan's older brother invited Liu Suohua and Zhou Huijie to lunch on behalf of Li Shanshan's parents today. No matter what, Liu Suohua couldn't decline this invitation. In fact, Liu Suohua really didn't want to have any close contact with this general.

  Liu Suohua was not in the mood for the entire morning, and finally he found an excuse to return to his hotel room to rest. Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan were still concerned about the global stock market. Moreover, they also wanted to give Liu Suohua some independent space, after all, women following him around every minute would definitely make men uncomfortable.

  Liu Suohua returned to the hotel and watched TV for a while, when the phone suddenly rang.

  Liu Suohua thought it was Zhou Huijie calling, so he picked up the phone. It turned out to be his security personnel who were responsible for protecting him. They said a Chinese person from Singapore had specifically asked to see him.

  Liu Duanhua felt very strange, but finally decided to see that person. The security guard at the door checked the businessman-like person for any weapons before letting him in. Liu Suohua wondered: "Who are you?

  Seeing the other party wanting to speak but hesitating, Liu Suohua went over and closed the door.

  The middle-aged man laughed and said: "Good guy, the security guards here are the most elite troops in Singapore. Comrade Liu Suohua, the protection you enjoy now is at the level of a head of state."

  Liu Duanhua smiled and said: "Sir, just speak directly!" Liu Suohua certainly didn't believe that his own security level would be so high.

  The middle-aged businessman smiled and said, "Let's get straight to the point. I'm here representing the Military Commission to discuss a few things with you."

  Liu Suo furrowed his brow and warned, "You're not representing the Military Commission of Singapore, are you? Liu Ruihua is now highly vigilant! His current situation is extremely delicate, if he's not careful, he'll be finished once he returns to China! In Singapore, given Li Shanshan's family influence, it's unlikely anyone would dare to do anything to him.

  A middle-aged businessman smiled and said, "Of course it's the Military Commission of our country's Liberation Army. I know you don't believe me, and I won't explain! My name is Wang Sicheng. Now call your sister Cai Sujuan, she will prove my identity."

  Wang Sicheng finished speaking and smiled slightly, then sat down on the sofa and started making tea himself.

  Liu Suohua felt relieved as soon as Wang Sicheng mentioned Cai Sujuan, "It can basically be proven that the person who came is our own comrade from our country."

  After Liu Guohua hung up the phone, Cai Sujuan anxiously said: "Brother, I'm worried. Today, Ding Wei, the commander of the Hanjiang City Garrison Command, came to inform me that there will be someone named Wang Sicheng from Singapore who can help you return home."

  Liu Suohua smiled and said: "Wang Sicheng? He's already here. Alright, let's talk about something first. I'll call you back later."

  Cai Su Yan immediately said quickly: "Okay, brother. By the way, I called mom this morning and she misses you very much." The superior has not informed your family about what happened to you yet. Mom asked when you will go back to see her? She is still very satisfied with me as a daughter, hehe", okay, brother, you can go now.

  Liu Suohua was stunned for half a day before realizing that the "mom" in Cai Suyan's mouth referred to his own mother! Cai Suyan is his own sister, so it's perfectly reasonable for her to call his mother "mom", right?

  Liu Ruihua smiled wryly and said a few more words to Cai Su-Yan before hanging up the phone.

  "How's that? Has my ID card been verified?" Wang Si Cheng smiled and said.

  "It's confirmed, sorry" let you make your own tea. What instructions does the Military Commission have? Please say. I will do my best to contribute to the country. But it's best not to violate Singaporean law.

  "Liu Suohua said so, but if the Military Commission instructs him to collect some intelligence on the Singapore military, he will still do it! After all, he is a patriotic soldier!"

  "Wonderful! So decisive! No wonder the Vice-Chairman of the Military Commission is so concerned about you." Wang Sicheng said, taking a sip of tea.

  "Vice Chairman Wang? Liu Suohua felt a bit dizzy. To be honest, Liu Suohua really didn't know if there was a Vice Chairman with the surname Wang in the Military Commission. That level was too high, and Liu Suohua wouldn't go to worry about those things."

  "King Zhenghua, Vice Chairman you don't know? It's a bit strange. This seems like I shouldn't ask. Let's just talk about Vice Chairman Wang's instructions instead. First of all, Vice Chairman Wang gave high praise to your performance on the Huang Chao Gong Zhuo! After you return home, the Military Commission and the Ministry of Public Security will award you first-class honors!"

  Liu Suohua was still surprised to hear this. It seems that his first-class merit is not in vain! The task given by the Military Commission may be more difficult, but no matter what, Liu Suohua will try his best to complete it.

  Wang Sicheng continued, "That's why Vice Chairman Wang knows that you have a good relationship with Li Shanshan now." Li Shanshan's older brother has great influence in the military in Singapore and is basically one of the important future leaders of Singapore. Vice Chairman Wang hopes that you can maintain a close relationship with the Li family. If possible, it can also promote the relationship between Singapore and our country. You also know that our two countries have not yet established diplomatic relations. If we do establish diplomatic relations, then you won't need to transit through Hong Kong to return home."

  "Then, what's this?" Liu Suohua thought to himself, "Is such a task really too simple?"

  Wang Sicheng nodded and said: "This is the main task. In addition, Zhai Er's disappearance in Singapore can play a positive role in the country's reunification!"

  "Unification of the motherland? Shouldn't it mainly refer to cross-strait relations? Alright, I will convey this." Liu Shao Hua immediately responded. This was basically not difficult at all, because Liu knew that even without his own efforts, Singapore would still actively promote cross-strait relations. Because in past history, the first important talks between the two sides were facilitated by Singapore.

  Wang Si Cheng happily said: "The main task is just these. Are these all not violating Singapore law? Hope you will make more contributions to the country."

  Liu Dewei nodded and said: "I am a soldier. I love our country even more, making contributions to the country is a must! Then, what other laws of Singapore have been violated?"

  Wang Sicheng looked at Liu Ruihua and gave him a thumbs up: "Good! Vice Chairman Wang said you dare to take on heavy responsibilities! The following are the instructions from Vice Chairman Wang, you can try your best to do them. But don't force yourself."

  King Sicheng paused for a moment and said: "Do you know about Singapore's military?"

  Liu Duanhua shook his head and said, "I didn't know that before. I thought Singapore didn't have an army or their army was just average. But after observing for a few days, I found that the Singaporean soldiers I met were extremely strong! And their equipment is really advanced! This is far beyond my expectations."

  Wang Si Cheng said in a low voice, "What you said is not wrong, the Singaporean army is actually very powerful! The population of Singapore is only a few million, but the army has tens of thousands! And there are also a large number of reserve troops!"

  "Unbelievable! This is too exaggerated!" Liu Suohua was shocked.

  Wang Sicheng said, "It's indeed very exaggerated! But Singapore attaches great importance to national defense. After the 1960s and 1970s, Singapore invested heavily in national defense under the watchful eyes of neighboring Malaysia and Indonesia. Because Singapore is extremely rich, these expenditures are quite considerable."

  Liu Suohua thought to himself, "Can we sell our country's weapons to Singapore?" Our country's conventional weapons are definitely not inferior, and the price is definitely something that Singapore would welcome. It seems like it's worth a try.

  Wang Si Cheng continued: "After Singapore gained independence from the Malaysian Federation in 1965, they immediately sent a request to Israel. They hoped that Israel would help establish Singapore's military."

  "After Singapore's independence, the British suddenly decided to withdraw all troops stationed in Singapore. The high-level leaders of Singapore believed that they had always been surrounded by neighboring countries. In addition, due to the entanglement with Malaysia, the national security situation was not very good, and Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia were once on the brink of war. Therefore, the first generation of leaders in Singapore attached great importance to developing national defense, which resulted in the strong military force that Singapore has today."

  Liu Suohua thought for a moment before suddenly saying, "Singapore is a small island country... even if the military is strong, what's the point? One atomic bomb... oh, I'm just making an analogy."

  Wang Si Cheng sneered: "This metaphor has been used by many people! What you said is right, Singapore's land area is small and lacks strategic depth, so they particularly emphasize the need to be able to 'defend against enemies at the gate' as a norm. Singapore has put forward the famous 'poisonous shrimp theory', that is, Singapore should become a 'poisonous shrimp' that can coexist with the 'school of fish' and will not be swallowed by the 'big fish'.

  Liu Qionghua was stunned for a long time and muttered: "So fierce! Singapore is the 'poisonous shrimp', then who is the 'fish group'? Who is the 'big fish'?"

  Wang Sicheng smiled and said, "I knew you'd ask. Fish group, of course, refers to countries adjacent to Singapore, mainly ASEAN. Including: Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, etc. In addition, Singapore also has good relations with Israel, New Zealand, Canada, and so on. These are all considered fish groups.

  "Who is the big fish? This can be imagined. Mainly refers to the United States, Soviet Union. Our country counts too. But after all, there are many Chinese in Singapore, our country will not eat this small fish."

  Wang Sicheng mentioned the Soviet Union, Liu Suohua's heart skipped a beat! Right, the Soviet Union has not yet disintegrated and is still a superpower! Should I make a move on this aspect? Liu Suohua decided not to give up on the opportunity to take advantage of the Soviet Union.

  "So Singapore will definitely think we are the best 'big fish', right? After all, the Prime Minister of Singapore is Chinese." Liu Suohua said affirmatively.

  "Wrong!" Wang Xiangcheng categorically denied. He continued: "Singapore thinks the most friendly big fish is 'America', so Singapore welcomes America's military presence to stay in Singapore! So this is also what our country... does not want to see."

  "Ah", we regard Singapore as our own country, but it seems others don't think so." Liu Xianhua sighed.

  Wang Si Cheng also sighed, "This... we should understand Singapore's approach. After all, they are tied to the US and have good relations with neighboring countries. Although they are a small country, they are still very safe! The key is that Singapore's armed forces have great deterrent power, making some big countries dare not take liberties with Singapore lightly. This is also an important pillar of Singapore's "Total Defense" national defense policy."

  Liu Suohua sighed: "I think Singapore is too cunning! But also very realistic" tied to the superpower of the United States, and having good relations with neighboring countries and possessing strong military strength, who would dare to provoke Singapore?"

  Wang Sicheng is now more familiar with Liu Suohua and has become more casual. He offers Liu Suohua a cigarette, but she declines, saying she doesn't smoke. Wang Sicheng says something about being a good man... then lights up a cigarette himself, takes a few slow puffs, and concludes: "What Singapore presents to the world is economic prosperity, but what supports and safeguards this prosperous scene is the invisible, agile, and vigilant national defense. Although Singapore doesn't say it out loud, its military strength and spirit seem to be declaring to the world that anyone who dares to launch an attack on her will have to pay a heavy price!"

  Wang Si Cheng finished smoking a cigarette and asked: "Su Hua, now that you've learned about the military in Singapore, what are your thoughts?"

  Liu Suohua sighed: "I understand! It's really powerful! What do you think? That 'poisonous shrimp' is very interesting! And what about the rest, Brother Wang, what does the Military Commission want me to do? Just say it straight!" My daughter bought a big pack of diapers, which was shipped by Shentong Express. As a result, they only arrived in our city on December 24th. It's all because Guangdong Province is a large province and it takes three days for express delivery? I won't mention this anymore, after all, it's the end of the year!

  But after the package arrived in our city, it's still not delivered to my home! Just now, my daughter peed on several pairs of pants because she didn't wear diapers. I'm so angry and want to scold someone. But I found that there is no way to complain! Okay, I solemnly recommend to all book lovers the most powerful express delivery in China - Shentong Express! If you choose them, you can achieve the miracle of not arriving within 6 days in the same province!
