"Everyone, I am very happy to meet you tonight. Yesterday we were strangers and even hostile to each other. But from now on, I believe we can start to cooperate."
At Fort São Miguel in Luanda, the open-air viewing platform was opened up as a simple banquet hall. Under the high-power lights, Zhou Qingfeng held up his wine glass and drank with everyone.
There were more than a hundred people in the venue, most of whom were members of the "Starlight Princess". Everyone, led by Captain "Profiteer", stood together and raised glasses to celebrate the Legion Commander. Everyone here tried their best to show their best.
An elegant smile, because the Legion Commander is extraordinary.
The news that Captain Hugo sent 100,000 tons of supplies to aid Africa has already spread all over the world on the radio. Although the main audience for this big cake is the Chinese, just a little bit of it is enough to fatten many, many brokers.
!
After all, the Legion Commander himself said that this is only the first batch of supplies, and there will be more in the future. If you think about how in short supply food and medicine are now, you will know how much money can be made from this!
"Everyone, I don't care how much you earn, I only care about how much benefit you can bring to me?" Zhou Qingfeng clearly marked the price and was honest. He also needed someone to work for him and was happy to pay a 'reasonable' profit.
"I know you are all from Europe, and I happen to be very interested in Europe. I am open to purchasing all kinds of materials from Europe." Zhou Qingfeng walked next to the captain of the 'profiteer'. When he raised his glass, everyone was stunned.
Respond to it.
"Mr. Captain." Zhou Qingfeng patted the "profiteer" captain on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I have booked all the more than 30,000 people on your cruise ship. I will give you adequate remuneration and provide diesel and supplies. For example, I
I hope you can continue to help me transport valuable people from Europe."
Captain 'Profiteer' thought that the people on his ship were just given to Zhou Qingfeng for nothing. Who knew there would be something in return? He quickly grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's hand and said in a grateful tone: "Your Excellency, Legion Commander, your
The generosity is truly appreciated.”
Flattery villain - Seeing the captain's disgusting compliments and flattery, everyone else at the table cursed in their hearts. They only regretted that they could not establish a good relationship with the Legion Commander at the first time. This relationship now means
With wealth and power.
However, someone had the courage to ask: "Dear Legion Commander, do you have any special restrictions on what you call a 'valuable person'?"
"There is no limit. As long as I need it, you can get it. Of course, the method should not be too rough, as this will arouse resistance." Zhou Qingfeng simply shrugged.
Now everyone in the banquet hall took a breath of air. Isn't this the slave trade? Hundreds of years ago, Europeans transported black slaves to Europe and America. Now, Europeans want to transport white slaves to Africa and America.
America.
But according to the quotation made by Zhou Qingfeng, there is at least ten times the profit. You must know that the situation in Europe is also very bad now. Western Europe and Northern Europe are slightly stronger, but Eastern Europe and Southern Europe are simply hell. If a stable trade can be established
Lines and 'supply' are not a problem at all.
As for moral issues, who cares about morality these days? We are saving!
Thinking about the voyage from Europe to Angola, it is not too far, and thinking about the fact that his "Starlight Princess" can even carry 40 to 50,000 people when fully loaded, and thinking about the huge profits, the "profiteer" captain is very excited
The face is red, the hands are hot, and the heartbeat is doubled.
Leaving aside a group of unscrupulous businessmen, Zhou Qingfeng came to another round table. The people sitting at this table were more reserved. They were high-end scholars who survived the Starlight Princess. Among them, naturalist Wilson
He also attended the banquet wearing a wheelchair.
"Hello, Your Excellency, Commander of the Corps. Please forgive me for not being able to stand up to express my gratitude." Mr. Wilson had just completed the operation. Although he was still quite weak mentally and physically, the medical injection had saved his life.
"You don't have to attend this banquet at all." Zhou Qingfeng always gave preferential treatment to scholars. He stepped forward and held down the old naturalist who wanted to sit up, and sat next to him.
"I have learned about everything you have done in America and Africa, and I am very grateful for your efforts in saving lives." Whether it is sincere or not, at least Mr. Wilson is very kind to Zhou Qingfeng so far.
"Actually, I hope to save more people. If you have any friends who need help, you can come to me." Zhou Qingfeng smiled generously.
The old man Wilson was stunned. There were too many people in need of help now, but Zhou Qingfeng said he was willing to help his friends. The words were vague, but the intention was very clear - it was nothing more than hoping to use the old man's connections to win over
High-end scholars in Europe.
From his inner feelings, Wilson wanted to refuse. People in the Nordic countries have always had a bad impression of flower growers, and all kinds of inexplicable self-superiority. But if he really wanted to refuse, the old man couldn't say it, because the current situation in Europe is indeed
very bad.
Europe is about the same size as the United States, and has suffered quite a lot of nuclear bombs. Especially countries in northern Europe, which have high latitudes, often rely on imported food. Now someone is importing food to them. As for southern Europe, France already has a large number of nuclear power plants.
A lot of problems have gone wrong, and the no-man's land is vast.
In order to survive, people in Europe are running towards Africa. Now that a powerful figure has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, it seems unethical to think about overseas relations. Wilson thought about the difficulties he faced along the way to Africa, and then thought about the other
With so many friends suffering in Europe, he really couldn't refuse Zhou Qingfeng's request.
"I think..., I can think about it." Wilson made an extremely difficult decision and said after a long pause: "I can draw up a list and make contact in person."
"Thank you very much for your cooperation." Zhou Qingfeng took the initiative to shake Wilson's hand and asked someone to take a photo as a souvenir. He didn't care if the other party was really happy or pretending to be happy. Anyway, when it came to his territory, everyone had to think about cooperation and confrontation.
difference.
At the banquet hall, the most special group was the enemy officers who fell into the water and were captured in the naval battle yesterday. Among them were the army and navy. A total of about ten people attended the banquet. Compared with the eager businessmen and half-hearted scholars, these soldiers were
The most embarrassing.
For example, Gunnery Chief Chris and others originally wanted to manipulate their identities in order to recruit them, but Zhou Qingfeng did recruit them, but the method was not so pleasant.
After eating a day's leftovers, Gunnery Chief Chris lost his temper because of the torment - people are clearly going to beat you, how can you go on a hunger strike to show your courage? Maybe they will really starve you to death.
never mind.
"Hi!" Zhou Qingfeng came over with a wine glass, looked at the dozen captured officers standing in front of the table, and asked with a smile: "Who shot my yacht yesterday?"
Ahem... Chris almost choked on his own saliva. But facing Zhou Qingfeng's inquiry, he had to stand up straight, raise his head and chest and said: "Dear Army Commander, my name is Chris.
The ship's gunnery commander. It was I who directed the forward main gun to hit your yacht."
When he said this, Chris was quite proud. But after he was proud, he felt that his skills were too poor. A regular warship attacked a yacht, and after a long time of emptying the shells, he still didn't completely kill the opponent.
However, Zhou Qingfeng praised Chris for doing a good job, and asked, "Then who made the frigate run so fast that I almost couldn't escape after chasing it."
The one who stood up now was the chief engineer, also with a little pride, as if chasing Zhou Qingfeng had become a great blessing in life. Zhou Qingfeng also praised a few words, and the other party was very happy with the praise.
Similarly, some of the officers present drove a smaller escort boat and chased Zhou Qingfeng's yacht everywhere. Some people controlled the cannon and smashed Zhou Qingfeng's yacht into pieces. Some controlled the radar, some controlled the artillery, and some were in charge of the rudder.
It was obviously a tit-for-tat life-and-death battle, but when Zhou Qingfeng asked him one sentence after another, the people in the navy were in a good mood, as if they were bathing in spring breeze. Especially when the regiment commander praised you: "You are all elites in the navy, I don't want to embarrass you.
I really want to gain your allegiance."
The boss has said that he can forget the past, why don't you just bow down and pledge your loyalty to the death? Don't you want to eat leftovers for a few more days?
While the Navy personnel were thinking whether it would be more elegant to kneel down on one knee in the Western style or more solemn in the Chinese style of kneeling on both knees, several officers in the Army felt that they had been ignored.
People from the Army jumped out first to increase their presence, "Your Excellency, Army Commander, we are willing to be loyal to you and serve as your vanguard to attack Ben's lair, Soyo, from the sea. We guarantee that this is a brilliant idea!"
Yes, this is indeed a wonderful idea. But the people in the navy were immediately furious, and they all cursed in secret: "You guys in the army defected too quickly, didn't you? You are just a bunch of white traitors. You must realize your shame!"
