Chapter 811 Daily life of the alliance’s foreign affairs department

 The next morning.

The Union Building is still as busy as ever.

Especially the office area of ​​the foreign affairs department.

Since the Adhesive Community opened the electronic currency settlement channel for member states, different new faces come here every day to "report" and ask if they can also access this system for their settlements.

After all, the currency issued by most survivor settlements in the wasteland actually has no circulation value.

For example, the red and blue tickets issued by the Red River Alliance.

It would be great if you could exchange your own money into silver coins or Cr, dinars, even golden lion coins, golden camels from Luoxia Province, or even Xilan coins from Borneo Province.

Although economic cooperation is not the job of the foreign affairs department, establishing diplomatic relations is, after all, a prerequisite for cooperation.

If in the past, the Alliance still needed to go to the wasteland to find other settlements and actively promote itself to the outside world, then with the end of the War in Paradise, this situation has been completely reversed - now there are settlements in the wasteland.

I took the initiative to go to the River Valley Province to find an alliance.

In a sense, Chu Guang is indeed fulfilling his original promise - Shuguang City is becoming another form of ideal city.

Although the facilities of the former are far less luxurious than the latter, even survivors who have not settled in this settlement, or even people who have never been here, can benefit from the prosperity of this settlement.

This quality is something that even Ideal City does not possess.

As usual, Cheng Yan, the foreign minister of the alliance, came to his office on the way to work and threw the information sent by the Guards into the drawer.

Not surprisingly, this information will be put to use soon.

And just as he expected, not long after he sat at his desk, and even before his chair was warm, the sound of Dongdongdong's footsteps came from the corridor outside the door, and then the footsteps began.

He broke in from outside the door.

Also rushing through the door was that rude voice——

"Minister Cheng, I want to know what happened to your train!"

The person who came was none other than Captain Benoit Wan, the legion's ambassador to the alliance. Behind him was also chasing Cheng Yan's secretary. It was obvious that this guy broke in directly.

There were dark circles under his eyes on his angry face, and it was obvious that he had not slept well last night, but perhaps out of worry, he still chose to come and disturb him when he was at work.

He wasn't surprised by Benoit's arrival. It would be better to say that if this guy hadn't come, Cheng Yan would be curious about what tricks these Weirant people were playing.

Cheng Yan first gave his secretary a look that said, "You go do something else first." Then he leaned back on his chair.

After looking at the angry big nose for a long time, he crossed his fingers on his knees and spoke cheerfully.

"Dear Captain Benoit, what happened? It made you so anxious."

Seeing that this guy was still pretending to be stupid, Benoit narrowed his eyes and stared at this guy who looked like it had nothing to do with him.

"I received news that last night you reloaded the military supplies that were originally scheduled to be sent to Bicester Town for delivery to our personnel on the train."

"I've heard about this," Cheng Yan nodded with concern, "I heard that our train has been repaired again."

"Has it been repaired? The problem is whether it's been repaired or not!" Benoit almost pointed at this guy and cursed, and said indignantly, "Don't tell me that all your drivers drank too much on the same day! Why did your train

They’re all going in the opposite direction!”

As he spoke, he put his hands on the table and spoke word by word.

"Aren't you the ones who talk about contracts the most? This is different from what was agreed in the contract. You'd better give me an explanation!"

"Explanation..."

Cheng Yan chuckled, opened the desk drawer, took out a document bag and threw it on the desk.

"Then please, Captain Bennot, please explain to me first what these things are about."

The moment he saw the document bag, Benoit's heart suddenly "thumped" and he secretly thought that he was about to suffer.

I am really afraid of what will happen!

Although he had already guessed what was inside, in order to show that he was unaware, Benoit still pretended to be calm and picked up the document bag and opened it.

All I saw inside were aerial photos taken by drones, and there was also a thumb-sized hard drive.

Looking at Benoit, whose eyebrows were beating wildly, Cheng Yan raised the corner of his mouth with an imperceptible smile and gently placed a holographic computer pen imported from Ideal City on the table.

"The hard drive contains some recordings and videos, about how the arms from the Weifu Wasteland were transported to Borneo. You can take it back and study it slowly. Anyway, I have more here... Or, I have a playback here

We have equipment and can play it for you live.”

"No need."

These photos alone are enough to form a complete chain of evidence, and even playing back the contents of the hard drive is just self-defeating.

Already completely brokenhearted, Benoit no longer tried to hide it, and threw the document bag in his hand on the table in front of Cheng Yan with a dark face.

To be honest, Cheng Yan admired this guy very much.

Although the little tricks he did behind the scenes were exposed in person, the tough expression on this guy's face did not change at all.

At least when it comes to being a rogue, the Wilantes claim to be second, and no one dares to claim to be first.

"...This is our munitions. It's our business where we want to transport them! It's not your turn to dictate!"

Guessing what this guy would say, Cheng Yan spread his hands and imitated his tone.

"Then the railway belongs to us. Wherever we want to go is also our business. Why are you here to complain to me?"

"you!"

Benoit's eyes widened and he clenched his fists, but in the end he did not hammer his fists on the table and suppressed the anger in his heart.

The amount of arms hoarded in the Weifu Wasteland is an astronomical amount, and it took less than half a year to transport it even using the alliance's logistics supply line.

If he was asked to find a way to get it away on his own, it would be almost impossible! Otherwise, there would be no need for them to borrow the alliance's railway in the first place!

As for keeping them in the wasteland of Wei Mansion, it is not a problem. Not to mention the issue of weapon maintenance, just renting a warehouse will cost a lot of money.

Not only that, if the weapons cannot be removed, the 100,000-man team will not be able to return home, and logistics will be a huge expense.

Although the legion has the need to station troops in Haiya Province, it is enough to station a team of 10,000 people, and there is no need to station so many people.

And the most important thing is that these equipment are not the junk of the civilian group, but the assets of the Eastern Legion!

The Eastern Legion did not provide these equipment to them for free, but hoped that they would put pressure on the Alliance through the Armed Empire, thereby forcing the Alliance to make concessions on related issues such as "split division", at least to obtain the "Gestalt" controlled by the Torch Church.

"Living body" related technologies.

As a result, they had only transported one-sixth of the weapons before they were discovered by the Alliance, causing the remaining five-sixths of the arms to be detained within Alliance territory.

This thing is obviously messed up!

Thinking of this, a trace of sweat broke out on Benoit's forehead. After hesitating for a moment, he finally lowered his head.

"...Mr. Cheng, this matter was indeed something we did wrong. I promise you it will never happen again in the future."

"It's not a question of whether it's right or wrong, but you have violated the contract between us," Cheng Yan stared at Bennot and continued in a serious tone, "If I remember correctly, we should have something in the contract

It is written that these weapons are destined for the territory of the Eastern Army, and we will be responsible for the transportation from Jinchuan Province to the western part of Luoxia Province."

"yes……"

"But now these arms did not cross the desert, but turned a corner in the eastern part of the desert and went directly to the south."

Looking at Benoit with a stiff face, Cheng Yan continued with a half-smile, "If your understanding of keeping a contract is that we must fully abide by the contract, and you can renege on what is written in black and white at will, then I can only

felt regret."

"Wait... I know that what we did is not appropriate, but I still hope that we can solve this problem. You don't want to see so many arms and troops stranded in the alliance, right?" Say this.

When speaking, Benoit's tone unconsciously took on a hint of threat.

He does have the confidence to threaten.

After all, that is an army of hundreds of thousands, and it has three times the amount of ammunition. It is enough to form an extremely terrifying force no matter where it is placed in the wasteland.

However, after hearing these words, Cheng Yan narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything, I'm just worried about an accident."

Looking at Cheng Yan who narrowed his eyes, Benoit continued indifferently.

"After all, the Eastern Army is not as easy to talk to as us. You have seized so much of their arms and there are so many soldiers stranded on the front line. Do you think they will give up?"

Cheng Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh? What can I do if I don't give up?"

"What can we do?" Benoit looked at him and said with a smile, "How could you ask such a stupid question? What do you think will happen-"

"I think if you haven't suffered enough, you can try again," Cheng Yan stood up from his desk, looked directly into his eyes, and continued in a cold tone, "I would like to take a look,

Can these hundreds of thousands of people turn the world upside down on our territory?"

Benoit stared at Cheng Yan with an annoyed look on his face. Although he looked like he was about to have an attack, he did not fall out in the end.

Cooperating with the Alliance on issues related to the Community is the strategy set by the Marshal. As the ambassador to the Alliance, although he has a certain degree of decision-making power, the general direction of the entire decision-making cannot be changed by him as a mere captain.

.

Besides, he is also the leader of the civil service group.

The eastward expansion faction is dead. There are only a few high-level officials in the entire Eastern Legion who support the expansion east of the desert, and no one will accompany him to go crazy.

"We'll see."

The anger in his heart turned into a harsh word. In the end, Benoit just glared at Cheng Yan fiercely, then turned around and walked out of the door.

"Then let's wait and see."

Listening to the heavy door closing, Cheng Yan smiled faintly, picked up the file bag on the table and threw it back into the drawer, and then called Chu Guang, who was far away in the southern sea.

After the call was connected, he immediately reported the report.

"Mr. Manager, the envoy from the legion has just arrived."

Chu Guang asked immediately.

"What did they say?"

Cheng Yan continued.

"Bennot expressed dissatisfaction with us, but did not take any substantive measures. After all, they breached the contract first, so it is reasonable for us to cancel the transportation contract."

After a pause, Cheng Yan continued in a serious tone.

"But that being said, given the nature of the Legion, I don't think they will let it go... I still suggest you not to push them too hard."

Although he showed a tough stance when communicating with Benoit before, it was just a diplomatic gesture.

The Legion is famous for being bully and timid. If you show any timidity to them, you will be bullied as a fool... just like the Empire.

In fact, like Benoit, he did not agree with doing things too far.

After all, as Captain Bennott said, with the Eastern Legion's own transportation capacity, it is obviously impossible to get all these arms back.

That's enough equipment to arm thirty divisions.

If they were really pushed into a hurry and sold directly to the plunderers in the eastern provinces at a discount, there might be another "bone-chewing chaos" by then.

With the nature of the Legion, this kind of thing is impossible to do.

After hearing the hidden meaning of Cheng Yan's unspoken words, Chu Guang didn't take it too seriously and just smiled indifferently.

"I didn't want to force them, but they have to pay the price for their actions. As for the things you are worried about... don't worry, I know what I know."

This matter was actually very clear from the beginning. The Eastern Legion hoped that the civil servant group in Triumph City would use its influence in Borneo Province to put pressure on the alliance, and the civil servant group hoped to use the Eastern Legion's arms to conduct its own affairs.

There is actually nothing wrong with this wave of cooperation, but if you want to blame it, they themselves are too impatient.

As soon as the Mengma Prefecture authorities saw tanks appearing on the front line, they immediately realized the problem and went to the alliance to file a complaint.

Now that the civilian group has messed up the matter, the alliance has directly terminated the transportation agreement in accordance with the terms of the contract, which has also affected the arms that the Eastern Army originally planned to transport back to its hometown.

Benoit must be having a headache at this moment about how to explain the reason to the Eastern Army.

Chu Guang was also curious about how the army would deal with this matter. According to the information provided by Brother Pangolin, the four major legions were much stronger than the civil service group in Triumph City, and it was unlikely that the Eastern Legion would swallow it.

This tone.

Although Chu Guang said there was no need to worry, Cheng Yan couldn't help but feel anxious when he heard the tepid tone. Worried that he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, he couldn't help but ask.

"What if they sell arms locally?"

Chu Guangyan said concisely and concisely.

"No need to worry, they have already been doing this."

Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment.

"Have you...been doing this a long time ago?"

"That's right, it probably started last week, and the middleman we dealt with is still one of our people."

Listening to the surprised voice, Chu Guangdan smiled and continued in a gentle tone.

"So I told you not to worry. Apart from tricking us once by playing clever tricks, they have always been right under our noses."

"It's just that they don't know it."
