War of Faith (追风者)

Shoulder width.

One foot one.

One foot one.

Welcome.

Take a look.

The sleeves... One foot and a half.

One foot and a half.

Waist...

Two feet one.

Two feet one... Can you make it tighter?

Mr. Xu. I want to accentuate my waist.

You have long legs. A looser cut

will look good and feel good.

Okay, I'll listen to you. Mr. Xu.

That's right.

Take it in three days.

Okay.

What would you like?

Mr. Xu.

Long time no see.

Come on.

Have a seat.

I finally arrived safely.

I was worried

you wouldn't recognize me.

Indeed.

How many years has it been?

Even your hair has turned white.

You too.

When we went our separate ways,

you didn't have forehead wrinkles.

I don't have them now, either.

How have you been?

Are you used to living in Shanghai?

No.

Especially the food. They put sugar in everything.

I couldn't get used to Jiangxi food either.

They put chili in everything.

I wish we could switch.

You're wanted by the authorities.

Your photos are everywhere.

So, after talking with the German,

I have to hurry back to Jiangxi Soviet.

Did it have to be you?

It's too risky.

We had no choice.

Only I can speak German.

I know about trade too.

The tungsten ore business

is our economic lifeline.

If it were someone else,

the organization might be worried.

Wait.

The representative of Rhine Metal, Hans.

Jinzhen met him before when she was studying abroad.

She wrote the details here.

Study it.

Try to understand the other party's personality

and win him over in one go.

This is great.

What do you want for dinner?

Your twice-cooked pork, of course.

I've been craving it for years.

Okay.

Twice-cooked pork it is.

Okay.

What is it?

Mr. Hans.

A Chinese person wants to see you.

A Chinese?

His name is Lei Ming.

Bring him up.

Wait for me in the mini-meeting room.

Okay.

Mr. Hans.

Long time no see.

Shen...

Why are you here?

My business partner is in Shanghai.

I'm here to say hello.

Please have a seat.

You know I hate surprises.

Maybe it's because you feel guilty.

I'm here today

on behalf of the Kuomintang government.

I heard

you were going to negotiate the

tungsten ore business with our enemy.

You are well informed.

Yes.

I've been in contact with

a very capable seller recently.

What do you mean by capable?

How much tungsten ore

can you provide us?

At what price? When can you deliver it?

Mr. Hans.

Business takes time.

You can't rush it.

I'm sorry.

We really don't have the time.

Actually, I'm here

to tell you to terminate our cooperation.

All our previous contracts are void.

I remember that

Germans value the spirit of contract the most.

Right?

You broke the contract first

and couldn't deliver the goods on time.

This time, I'm not just

representing Rhine Metal,

but also acting on behalf of the German Ambassador to China.

As the Chinese party

has not been able to deliver tungsten ore on time,

the German party will terminate all military cooperation

[Sino-German Treaty on Exchange of Raw Materials and Agricultural Products with Industrial and Other Products]

with the Chinese party.

It's boring to find excuses.

Aren't you doing all of this

to recover the loss you made

due to the tariff reform?

We understand that.

At the same time,

we are also trying

to increase the export of agricultural and mineral products.

We're doing a lot of things

and we're doing our best.

I'm not interested in that.

Germany could live without peanut oil

and cotton.

But we cannot live without tungsten.

You keep talking about tungsten.

But where is the tungsten?

Two-thirds of the world's tungsten ore reserve

is in China.

Two-thirds of China's tungsten ore reserve

is in Gannan.

Most mines in Gannan

are not in our hands

but with the Communist Party.

Yes, that's why I plan to talk to them.

Shen, our conditions for you are very simple.

The Chinese party must either restore the supply

or pay the penalty for breaking the contract.

1.3 million German Marks.

The German party will use that money

to purchase tungsten ore from Gannan.

I don't think you can do it.

We'll know if we try.

If so, I don't mind telling you

some top secrets.

Our Chairman Chiang

has taken the commander-in-chief seat.

This month, we have mobilized all the elite troops

and a total of 300,000 troops in the periphery to fight.

At the same time, several squadrons of the Air Force

are also being deployed

to the airport near Zhangshu, Nanchang.

The military force is unprecedented.

It's definitely not

like the last two tentative attacks.

In this case,

can you guarantee that the Communist Party

can provide you with the promised quantity and quality

on time?

It's a one-sided narrative.

Okay.

You don't have to believe me,

but I hope you can come to your senses.

No one else

can sell tungsten ore to you.

No one else can provide a stable supply.

Especially not the Communist Party.

Gun barrels, cannon barrels, and armored vehicles.

Without tungsten, they wouldn't be hard anymore.

Dare I ask

where your confidence comes from?

Are you threatening me?

I'm not threatening you, Mr. Hans.

I'm just telling the truth.

We understand your difficulties.

But our difficulties...

Mr. Hans.

I hope you can understand as well.

But if you insist on

tearing up the contract...

I'm sorry.

We will also immediately seek

collaboration with Britain and France.

From that moment on,

Germany

can never get any tungsten ore from us anymore.

You two go back and wait for me.

We'll discuss the details later.

I was representing Rhine Metal just now.

I know my attitude was bad.

Please forgive me.

Right back at you.

How can we talk in front of others?

Let's find a place to drink and talk.
