After hearing what Chu Zhaonan said, Zhu Tian paused and then laughed: "This is just like collecting protection money!"
"It's the protection fee. So their purpose of coming to Tianyuan Base this time is already obvious." Chu Zhaonan affirmed.
"Has Tianyuan Base paid them before?"
"No, because the Heavenly Tribulation-32 of the Zhao Group can send them to the bottom of the sea with just one shot, without even a chance to parry. The five Prowler tanks of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce can also completely cut them off.
Onshore supplies...but now, these things seem to be gone. Although the only remaining Prowler tank can still be regarded as a bargaining chip, it does not have absolute deterrence."
The civil war exhausted the ten-member committee's trump card and the Tianyuan Base's strong confidence.
Because those trump cards are not only used to check and balance colleagues, but also to restrict external enemies.
"Do you think I should agree to the artillery agreement?" Zhu Tian smiled nonchalantly.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the Ming Dynasty Survivor Base has not yet trained skilled pilots, Zhu Tianzhen would have wanted to transfer Chu Zhaonan to be a manager. Being a helicopter pilot is really too incompetent.
Let's just say that Chu Zhaonan helped him a lot in annexing Tianyuan Base this time, both in decision-making and in stabilizing the situation.
"Of course not. Although ten thousand energy crystals are just a drop in the ocean for Tianyuan Base, it does not mean that we should give in to them."
"Oh? Do we have any remaining cards?"
"Of course." Chu Zhaonan smiled: "Has the boss forgotten what we used to destroy the 'bridgehead' of mutants?"
"That big firecracker?" Zhu Tian laughed and said, "I'm afraid that thing is a bit unsightly when facing an aircraft carrier."
The technical content of that "ballistic missile" is too low. If the mutants hadn't been careless and the camp was built too casually, most of the combat power would not have been wiped out by that rocket.
The anti-missile technology before the catastrophe was very advanced, common ones include radar locking, laser anti-missile, etc. The reason why the Tianjie-32 is so powerful is that it can counter most anti-missile systems.
If you use that kind of big firecracker to hit Lishui Town, you are afraid that it will be shot down by an anti-aircraft electromagnetic gun or laser beam halfway through the air.
"Of course it is not an aircraft carrier used to attack Lishui Town. It only needs to target the allies in Lishui Town." Chu Zhaonan shook his head: "For example, the can company can produce 100 kilograms of mass bombs, but it does not mean that they can also produce it.
Electromagnetic guns of the same caliber. Under the protection of the artillery shells in Lishui Town, they have not developed a strong military force at all."
"Without those allies, Lishui Town is just a dead ship."
Hearing this, Zhu Tian immediately laughed and patted Chu Zhaonan on the shoulder.
"Yes, by the way, speaking of something special, are you interested in serving as the governor of Tianyuan Base? I found that your abilities in some aspects are much better than your ability to fly a helicopter."
"This is a subtle reminder that I'm terrible at flying helicopters.
Really?" Chu Zhaonan made a funny expression and joked.
"Of course not, I'm serious."
"Well, you are the boss, and I will follow your orders. But to be honest, I would rather be the governor of Lishui Town than the governor of Tianyuan Base."
When he said this, he did not use a joking tone! Because he saw hope in Zhu Tian, the hope of peace, and the hope of life!
Regarding Chu Zhaonan's last words, Zhu Tian thought for a moment and did not give an answer.
The Tianyuan base in Dachang has been included in his territory, which means that the passage into Jinling City from the northwest is under his control. In addition, the Ming survivor base in Liuhe and the Donggou Town colony. Three
The territory is formed into a triangle, and its sphere of influence covers almost all the traffic arteries entering Jinling City in the south, the Yangtze River in the north, and Zhenjiang and Shanghai in the east!
It can be said that half of Jinling City has fallen into his hands.
However, there is an extremely unstable factor that still threatens the security of his ruling area.
That is Lishui Town.
That ship-borne electromagnetic gun is simply a demolition artifact, and its power is simply incomparable to that of the Type 50 vehicle-mounted electromagnetic gun.
Although it will not easily break up with Zhu Tian, the "land overlord", since it exists, it is always a threat.
How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed?
If he wanted to bring the entire Jiangsu Province into his sphere of influence, he had to think about Lishui Town.
But for now, cooperation is the more profitable option for both parties.
...
In the meeting hall, Zhu Tian met the envoy from Lishui Town.
To his surprise, the person who served as the envoy was actually a woman. The bodyguard following him was a male white man. Judging from his powerful figure, he must have extraordinary skills. He must be her bodyguard.
Zhu Tian's first impression of this female messenger was one of surprise, and his second impression was one of fear.
Under the high bridge of his nose, there was a faint aura of a superior person lingering.
With long black-blond hair, a Western figure, and an Eastern face, he must be a mixed-race person.
Li Mier. This is her name.
"Nice to meet you, the envoy from Lishui Town. I hope you are satisfied with yesterday's board and lodging." Seeing her enter, Zhu Tian smiled and expressed friendship, and at the same time extended his right hand.
Because she arrived a little late, Zhu Tian arranged a guest room for her in the Paradise Island Hotel.
"Thank you very much for your hospitality!" Li Mier's bright red lips curved, and she smiled, stretched out her hand, and shook Zhu Tian's hand: "The bionic robot in your hotel is very good."
Zhu Tian was stunned for a moment, his expression a little strange.
That bionic robot...
.So there are also models for women?
To his surprise, the messenger lady was unexpectedly "bold" in her private life.
"Ahem, as long as you have fun, please take a seat." Zhu Tian smiled, bypassed this somewhat naughty topic, politely pulled out the chair for her, and invited her to take a seat.
Nodding and smiling to express her gratitude, Li Mier sat on the chair generously, while the bodyguard stood at the door consciously.
"I wonder what news Miss Li Mier brought from Lishui Town?" Zhu Tian asked straight to the point as he sat on the chair.
"Of course it's friendly news." Li Mier smiled and blinked, and then took out a document: "First of all, it's about trade. Our Lishui Town once signed a trade agreement with the ten-person committee of Tianyuan Base. Now since Tianyuan Base
The owner has changed, and I would like to ask Mr. Zhu Tian’s opinion whether this agreement is still valid?"
With that said, Li Mier gently placed the contract on the table.
Before the meeting, Zhu Tian glanced at the content of this agreement. Its content was basically to ensure that the businessmen of Lishui Town had the legitimate interests in Tianyuan Base and enjoyed the same free trade rights as other forces.
"Of course it's valid." Picking up the contract, Zhu Tian just glanced at it symbolically and gave a simple reply.
A smile appeared on Li Mier's face, and she immediately put away the contract and crossed her fingers on the desk.
"In addition, it is a contract regarding the Ming Dynasty Survivor Base. I wonder if it is appropriate to propose it on this occasion?"
A very obvious temptation.
On the surface, Zhu Tian serves as the marshal of the military government, and it is still the parliament that exercises political orders. At least in front of outsiders, Tianyuan Base is still open and democratic.
Making decisions on behalf of the parliament is already suspected of overstepping one's duties, and now they are discussing the Ming base in the parliament building of the Tianyuan base. This is almost a clear question: Is the Tianyuan base your private property?
The answer is of course yes.
"It's okay, let's talk about it together." Zhu Tian said straightforwardly.
Seeing Zhu Tian's reaction, Li Mier smiled slightly and took out another contract.
"We are very interested in the food products of Daming Grain Products Company... I would like to ask, in fact, you are the boss of that company, right?"
"How can you see it?" Zhu Tian said with a smile.
"A woman's intuition." Li Mier replied in a half-joking tone.
"Perhaps your intuition is very accurate, but we seem to have digressed." Zhu Tian spread his hands and did not answer directly, but smiled and avoided the topic.
Although she was not very satisfied with Zhu Tian's answer, Li Mier just smiled and did not continue to dwell on it too much.
"This is the trade list. We need canned meat, canned vegetables, beer, sugar, etc. In contrast, the goods we can provide include small electronic components such as energy crystal chips and batteries. I believe the price we offer will be
