Victor looked a little weird at this time, but he still agreed to communicate on the phone.
After answering the dedicated hotline number.
Wu Wei's laughing voice rang out from the microphone: "Mr. Victor, are you okay?"
"Stop talking nonsense, what do you want to say?" Victor said without politeness.
"Mr. Victor treats his friends like this, it really makes me sad! I originally wanted to tell you a very important piece of information, but it seems it's not necessary now." Wu Wei said in a distressed tone.
Victor still looked indifferent: "Haha, if you have anything to say, just say it, otherwise I will hang up the phone."
"Okay! It seems you don't need this news. Knowing this news can at least reduce your losses by hundreds of billions. I'm hanging up the phone."
Victor was so startled that he stopped showing off and asked quickly: "Wait a minute! What are the conditions?"
Considering the potential loss of hundreds of billions, he excluded the uninhabited Aleutian fault zone.
The only possibility he could think of now was that a major earthquake triggered a super tsunami and submerged the two islands.
Since he needed time to think and report the matter to the Council of the City on the Hill, Victor did not linger on the phone.
As long as the Homo sapiens company does not provide accurate time and location for a day, America will have to worry about it for a day.
"But if you promise them, our power in the Pacific will be split into two. This is too dangerous." Dupont reminded.
"Let's change the conditions! It's impossible to sell those two islands to you."
Although the combined land area of these two archipelagoes is less than 1,000 square kilometers, their maritime exclusive economic zone is nearly 5 million square kilometers.
"Conditions? We are old friends. Talking about terms would hurt our feelings, so why don't we just forget it!" Wu Wei replied casually.
Thomas quickly summoned the City on the Hill Council to hold a video conference with other directors.
Although the two islands are members of the Free Association, their core rights are firmly controlled by America.
The thing that really troubles him now is whether to sell the Gilbert Islands and the Ellis Islands to the Homo Sapiens Company, and then obtain accurate information about earthquakes.
For the Homo sapiens company, after acquiring the two archipelagos, the company will have basically unimpeded access between Southeast Asia and South America.
Inside a safe house in an underground bunker.
But what exactly is going on?
Hundreds of billions of losses?
"Since Mr. Victor is not interested in selling those two islands, I won't bother you. If you change your mind, you can call my hotline at any time, but you'd better hurry up!"
After saying that, Wu Wei hung up the phone directly.
"I'm sure, as long as your conditions are right, we can consider it."
Therefore, the earthquake is most likely to occur in the Cascadia Fault Zone near California.
Thomas put down the documents in his hand and had a headache.
Once the two islands are sold to Homo sapiens companies, there will be an island chain between North America and Oceania.
Victor shook his head: "I don't know, after all, we don't have earthquake prediction technology, but the Homo sapiens company shouldn't deceive us."
But knowing this news is not of much use.
Victor fell silent again, thinking about Wu Wei's words and the meaning behind them.
Thomas expressed some of his thoughts: "If we don't agree to the Homo sapiens company now, they will definitely not ask us to cooperate in the future. We don't have early warning technology for earthquakes at all, and it will be very troublesome in the future."
Apparently he heard the implication of Wu Wei's words, that is, in this earthquake, both the Gilbert Islands and the Ellis Islands were severely affected.
After hearing the news, all the directors also started talking about it.
Hearing this, Victor's expression became even more solemn.
The west coast of North America is very important now, because it is the current core trade channel between North America and Northeast Asia, and there is definitely no way to interrupt it for a few months.
Wu Wei reminded calmly: "Why bother? Those two islands will definitely be destroyed this time anyway. If you sell them to our company, you will make a lot of money."
The reason is that without an accurate time and place, we can’t let everyone in California and Washington State leave the coast for a few months, right?
"Is that so?"
"Then let me get it straight. Our company is currently developing an island tourism project. You have many islands in the Pacific. Our company wants to buy a few small islands."
And Victor also heard the answer at this time.
Fake Squid! Victor secretly scolded Wu Wei for being shameless, but he still suppressed his anger: "Say it! For friends, America will not let you suffer."
"Are you sure you don't want to sell it? After passing this village, there is no such store." Wu Wei reminded with a smile.
According to seismic experts, there are two fault zones on the west coast of North America, namely the Aleutian fault zone in Alaska and the Cascadia fault zone near California.
Victor remained silent.
Thomas continued: "I know, so we have to find a way to negotiate with Homo sapiens to demilitarize these two islands, while retaining our freedom of navigation rights, and in addition to requiring long-term seismic services from Homo sapiens.
."
"Mr. Wu Wei, this joke is not funny at all." Victor replied in a low voice.
Just do it, is it worth it?
What's more, what if the Homo sapiens company deliberately misled him? Or what if the big earthquake happened in Japan?
What could cause hundreds of billions of losses?
That is, the Homo sapiens company already knew that a major earthquake was about to occur in America or the Free Federation, but the other party refused to tell America the specific information.
Based on the information that the Gilbert Islands and Ellice Islands were submerged, he deduced that the area where the earthquake occurred should be along the west coast of North America.
He quickly clarified his thoughts and quickly consulted experts from the earthquake monitoring department.
"Oh? Are you sure?"
Although Wu Wei provided very few clues, he was able to analyze the area where earthquakes may occur.
This information made Victor even more restless.
"What? What is Mr. Victor talking about? I don't seem to understand." Wu Wei said questions in a positive tone.
Wait a minute! Victor suddenly had a guess in his mind, could it be... He asked in a low voice: "Is it an earthquake?"
"Thomas, what do you think?" James Rockefeller asked, chewing on his cigar.
"Big earthquake?" Thomas frowned: "Is this true?"
Moreover, these two archipelagoes are the transportation hub archipelago connecting North America to Oceania.
With the analysis report in hand, Victor quickly went to Seattle and secretly met with Thomas Morgan there.
"Our company wants to buy the Gilbert Islands and the Ellis Islands. The price is absolutely fair. How about 500 gold dollars per island?"
After all, there was no reason for the Homo sapiens company to call the hotline for no reason, and there was no reason to entertain him. Obviously, there must be a reason behind this incident.
It's not that he has a headache about the earthquake. After all, even if he knew about this kind of thing in advance, it would be difficult to completely avoid the loss.
"If that's the case, it's not unacceptable."
After all, Homo sapiens' earthquake prediction service is indeed very powerful. If they can obtain long-term earthquake prediction services, then they are not too much at a loss.
After a heated discussion.
The Council of the City on the Hill finally made a decision.
