Lu Yuan gave a brief self-introduction, and the several high-ranking military officers below nodded in agreement.
"Not bad, you're quite a young man. It seems you must have brought him from the underground fortress, otherwise you wouldn't know so much. Alright, since you have this ability, let's state our conditions."
After the other person finished speaking, they looked up at Lu Yuan, seemingly waiting for Lu Yuan's response.
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Pang Qing beside him.
The other party gave him a no-questions-asked look, and Lu Yuan finally agreed.
The other party picked up the booklet in his hand, flipped through it, and then read aloud from the booklet: "First of all, the party cooperating with us must think of us and not betray any secrets of our army."
Lu Yuan nodded quietly: "I can do that."
"The next day, we must make a reasonable allocation plan based on the amount of food needed by our military."
"I can do that too."
"Thirdly, we should vigorously promote our existing grain planting bases, process all the vegetables and fruits properly, and then package and preserve them!"
Lu Yuan nodded. After the other party raised seven or eight questions, Lu Yuan agreed to them all.
However, right after they agreed, Lu Yuan suddenly spoke up.
"Excuse me, you've finished stating your conditions, so it's my turn now."
Upon hearing his words, Pang Qing, who was standing nearby, was so frightened that she quickly grabbed his arm and whispered in his ear, "Are you crazy? These are all big shots I found in the army with great difficulty. Do you know how much effort it takes to find them? If you ruin this opportunity, we will have no chance at all."
Pang Qing did indeed go through a lot of trouble to find these officers.
However, it seems that Lu Yuan has no goodwill towards these officers; on the contrary, he feels hostility towards them.
Pang Qing didn't know what had happened, but they knew that Lu Yuan couldn't and wouldn't offend these officers. If he did, the military would definitely kick him and Lu Yuan out, and he didn't want to see that tragedy happen.
Lu Yuan simply smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
The high-ranking military officials in front of them all nodded in agreement: "Of course, no problem. We're here to discuss cooperation, not to announce our demands. If you provide us with food, we'll certainly help you with some things. Of course, you just need to be careful not to overstep your bounds, just like you said!"
After a moment's thought, Lu Yuan said, "I'd like to find someone through your population statistics department!"
The officer in front of him was slightly taken aback after hearing Lu Yuan's words: "Don't you have a statistics department from a non-governmental organization here? Why are you looking for us?"
Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Sir, you're asking a question you already know the answer to. You can't be unaware of what kind of organizations and what kind of power those people in the civilian world are, can you? I don't trust them!"
Lu Yuan's words caused everyone present to burst into laughter.
After they finished laughing, the man in the lead stood up gently and patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder: "Young man, you really have a lot of courage."
However, I can't agree to that for now because it involves our confidentiality regulations. But you can give us the person and information you need, and we'll investigate and send you a report!
However, Lu Yuan shook his head slightly.
What Lu Yuan feared was that if Xiao Shan and the others changed their identity information just like he had, then he would basically be unable to find out anything by simply looking at that information.
What he wanted was to go directly into the military headquarters and investigate personally, which would be extremely beneficial.
Firstly, you can check your own highly confidential information to avoid attracting the attention of the military.
Secondly, Xiaoshan and the others are currently in grave danger. If they are alive, and are being hunted down or become targets of the military, they would be in real danger if I were to openly capture them.
Therefore, without understanding the situation, Lu Yuan would absolutely not easily reveal his information to them; that would be tantamount to plotting against Xiao Shan and the others.
Seeing that Lu Yuan did not agree, the leading officer frowned immediately: "Mr. Lin, we have already stated our bottom line. If you still do not agree, then we are sorry, we cannot continue to discuss this matter!"
Upon hearing the officer's reply, Pang Qing, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but quickly stop Lu Yuan and said to the officer, "Excuse me, sir, I don't think Mr. Lu meant that. How about I go and talk to him in person, and we can discuss it again later? I'll have someone prepare some tea for you right away, so you can rest for a bit."
The officers exchanged glances and nodded. They didn't actually intend to give up such a good opportunity from Lu Yuan, since he could initially provide them with a lot of nutritious food.
They really wanted to win over Lu Yuan, but the conditions Lu Yuan proposed were far too high. Accessing their own archives to search for people was simply a violation of their confidentiality principles.
Of course they wouldn't let a stranger in. Bringing someone in to investigate was a major taboo. What if his identity was special?
If Lu Yuan were a spy sent by the Blue Star people, then if their military information were to be investigated and leaked, the number of people who would die would not be just one or two. Therefore, for the sake of safety, the officers would definitely not agree to it.
Lu Yuan followed Pang Qing to the office next door. Pang Qing quickly asked, "Mr. Lin, what's wrong with you? Didn't we agree on something before? You would cooperate with them, and I would help you become the grain planting instructor for the entire area. Why did you change your mind?"
Lu Yuan took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a few puffs, and then said, "They definitely won't take the new one to heart. The person I'm looking for is very important to me; she's my wife and children."
How could I possibly hand over such important information to them for investigation? You told them that at worst I could plant some medicinal herbs for them later.
Their casualties at the front aren't too high, but they're short of medicinal herbs. I can help them cultivate some strategic medicinal materials, as long as they agree to my conditions!
Pang Qing was stunned when he heard this. He hadn't expected that Lu Yuan not only possessed food but also medicinal herbs. Those herbs were extremely important to them.
