On the same day, Victor communicated with Wu Wei through the hotline again.
"It seems that you have made a decision."
"Those two islands can be leased to you, but they must be for commercial use." Victor stated the conditions directly.
Wu Wei smiled and asked: "Are you kidding?"
But Victor did not intend to give in: "We already know the location of the earthquake. The worst we can do is shut down California for a few months, and you will get nothing by then."
"Oh? Is this your confidence? Then just be happy." Wu Wei was also unmoved, acting as if you were both right.
However, the more he behaved like this, the less confident Victor felt.
If Wu Wei became angry, he would be even more certain that the earthquake was in the Cascadia Fault Zone near California.
"If that's the case, then we don't need to talk. There is no need to waste everyone's time." Wu Wei hung up the phone directly.
Farke! Victor's hands trembled slightly, obviously he was anxious.
"Really? It's really surprising!" Wu Wei still didn't agree, but deliberately pretended not to hear and started talking to him.
The second morning.
But this time Wu Wei did not answer the phone.
Although the City on the Hill Council doesn't care how many people die in California, as the core semiconductor industrial area of North America, with so many ports and the Third Fleet, California is difficult for the City on the Hill Council to abandon.
After receiving this warning announcement, the whole world was shocked.
"We agreed to complete the Gilbert Islands, but there was a condition that we would listen to the company to provide earthquake prediction services for the Free Association for 30 years."
"Oh? So you have a bottom line? This is the first time I've heard of it. In fact, my request is very simple. Our company wants the complete Gilbert Islands."
Haha, what's the difference? The difference is huge.
It's just dawn over the central Pacific Ocean.
After receiving the instruction, the Titing Company announced to the world that afternoon a major earthquake with a magnitude of 9.1 to 9.3 would occur in the Cascadia Fault Zone between January 21st and 24th.
The Homo sapiens company's aerospace airship arrived at the Gilbert Islands and Ellis Islands and came to take over these small islands.
Seeing this news, everyone suddenly realized.
"Please stop pushing your company too far, this is already our bottom line." Victor gritted his teeth.
If it is given directly, America can operate in secret and downplay the sale of the Gilbert Islands.
In the end, America only obtained its own local 10-year earthquake prediction service.
Originally, the comprehensive strength of the Free Association was weaker than that of the Homo Sapiens Corporation. If it is weakened again now, it will be even more difficult in the future.
As for the other members of the Free Association, just wish yourself well! America will not sacrifice herself for them.
With a low voice, he interrupted Wu Wei's conversation and quickly asked: "Mr. Wu Wei, please give me an accurate answer on whether to cooperate or not."
Many people who own cars have already taken their whole families to the eastern interior.
After completing the island closing work.
Victor's face on the other side of the phone was very ugly.
The tired Victor called Wu Wei again.
"Impossible? I made it very clear from the beginning, buying the Gilbert Islands, not Gilbert?"
Damn it! Victor knew that he was confused by the other party's word games, and at the same time he was too impatient to examine those words carefully.
And Thomas Morgan, who went to Texas to "hunt south", got furious in the safe house and cursed the Homo sapiens company for its insatiable greed.
The entire California coastal area has entered a state of emergency.
Wu Wei sneered: "Mr. Victor, do you think I am a fool? Those broken islands are not worth 30 years of earthquake prediction services, let alone the entire Free Association."
You know, Gilbert and Gilbert Islands are two different concepts.
After reaching a verbal agreement, Wu Wei said with a smile: "Tomorrow our company will announce the detailed information of the earthquake."
"Why don't you just give it to us?" Victor frowned.
As a last resort, Victor could only call Wu Wei through the Europa Consortium channel.
Among them, the waves along the coast of Japan are 5 to 7 meters, the waves on Honolulu Islands are 17 to 20 meters, and the waves along the Luzon Islands are 4 to 5 meters.
The complete Gilbert Islands?
Victor reacted instantly. Four islands, including the Phoenix Islands and the Line Islands affiliated with the Gilbert Islands, were directly held by America.
On the one hand they were shocked by the occurrence of a major earthquake.
This puzzles many people.
Victor called the hotline again.
"This is impossible..."
Because there are only about 17 days left, if the predictions made by the Homo sapiens company are inaccurate and a major earthquake occurs earlier, it will be the end of the world.
On the other hand, they were surprised as to why the Homo sapiens company issued an early warning to America.
Because Homo sapiens later announced that it had purchased full operating rights to the Gilbert Islands and Ellice Islands through commercial cooperation, and would soon establish a Central Pacific branch.
After all, if this kind of thing is secretly concealed, America's California coast will definitely be completely destroyed.
"What's the difference?" Wu Wei asked.
Although internationally, Gilbert is often used to refer to the entire archipelago, but this is actually inaccurate because the entire Gilbert Archipelago includes Gilbert and the four islands directly owned by America.
Wu Wei said at the beginning that the Gilbert Islands actually include Howland Island, Baker Island, Kingman Reef, and Jarvis Island in America.
But he still had to endure it and held a small meeting with other directors of the City on the Hill Council again.
"Mr. Wu Wei, those two islands can be sold, and you will be given full rights to dispose of them. We only ask that the right to free navigation be retained."
Victor had no choice but to announce the suspension of negotiations again, and went to report to Thomas Morgan again.
The Free Alliance forces stationed on the island could only suppress their anger and helplessness, silently pack their luggage, and head to the base in Kangaroo Country or New Zeland in dejection.
Not only was the detailed location and time announced, but a Pacific Coast tsunami warning level was also given.
More than three hours later.
Of course, now America has no time to compare nonsense on the Internet.
Is there still a channel for commercial cooperation? Your Homo sapiens company is cheating!
The two began to bargain.
Anyone with a clear mind can easily connect the sale of the island with the earthquake prediction service. It is obviously a PY deal between Homo sapiens and America.
And if it was publicly announced by Homo Sapiens Company, then the sale of the Gilbert Islands must not be hidden.
"It's not impossible to cooperate, but the sincerity is not enough!"
Victor quickly contacted director Thomas Morgan.
But being under the roof, Victor could only suffer this hidden loss.
But soon he no longer had any doubts.
After some debate, they chose to compromise in the face of the safety of the four islands and California.
The nuclear power plant was shut down in an emergency, emergency treatment was carried out on the nuclear fuel, the chemical plant was quickly shut down, and the chemical warehouse was properly disposed of.
In order to minimize losses, America's actions this time were unprecedentedly efficient.
Those that can be evacuated should be evacuated as soon as possible, those that can be moved should be moved, and those that cannot be moved should also be emergency reinforced and harmlessly disposed of.
Time passes day by day.
