A professional businessman will not scratch his head. He is not so much a president as he is the spokesperson pushed to the front by a group of businessmen.
"You don't seem to be worried about the reaction from Hangzhou City?" Xu Anhua asked.
"They need a market, and we have the largest market in the entire Suzhou and Hangzhou provinces. They have to make a choice between safety and energy crystals, and I am sure they will choose the latter in the end. What's more, my attitude towards the merchants in Tianyuan Base is somewhat different.
It calmed their emotions. Even if the defense is taken over by the new Ming Dynasty, there will be no loss of property... Most businessmen will definitely think so." Zhu Tian stood up and walked to the desk.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
"Please come in."
It was Wang Qing who came in, and she looked very serious.
"Marshal, there is news from Tianyuan Base. Recently, there has been a trend of frequent mutant activities in the suburbs. Many mutant cockroaches, mutant mice and other mutant species have also shown strong aggression. Under normal circumstances, these mutant species will not take the initiative to attack.
The survivors...there are rumors that a second wave of alien species is brewing in Jinling City."
"Alien tide?" Zhu Tian frowned slightly.
He had never experienced the so-called alien tide, but he had heard that it was very scary. In the early years, before the last elites of the United World Organization launched colonial ships, a alien tide broke out in Jinling City.
It is said that the former government troops stationed at the scientific research institute near the city center were driven out of the city by the violent aliens.
It is said that Tianyuan Base also suffered a lot of impact at that time, but fortunately, with the equipment left by the World United Organization, it finally withstood the impact of the alien wave. It was also at that time that Tianyuan Base established the rule of the Ten-member Committee.
But at this time...
Wang Qing nodded.
"Let Wu Yuan pay attention. His place is relatively close to the city center. I will give him the authority to open and close the shelter door and allow him to lead the ground residents to evacuate into the shelter when necessary. In addition, increase the energy reserve of the shelter to 100
As for the fuel rods, you should be responsible for this." Zhu Tian instructed.
"Understood." Wang Qing nodded.
The time span for the opening of each shelter is very large, and no one knows in what year the other shelters in Jinling City were opened. Once the No. 7 shelter is lost, it will mean that the scientific research capabilities of the New Daming Dynasty have dropped by more than one level.
Of course, Zhu Tian would not allow this to happen. If a wave of alien species really occurred, the first thing he would need to ensure was the safety of scientists.
No matter whether the alien tide really happens or not, it is always a good idea to be prepared.
"...In addition, set up temporary shelter facilities in the sewers. Prepare temporary bunkers, beds, nutrient mixtures and heaters. Although we all know that these things will not be used in the end, but just in case, you still
Go get ready."
"Okay." Wang Qing nodded. Seeing that Zhu Tian had no further instructions, she turned around and left quickly.
After a moment of pause, Zhu Tian looked at Xu Anhua again.
"In the next few days...well, maybe half a month, I have something to do out of town. You and Li Xinran can discuss it and handle it. She usually takes over the duties when I'm not around, so that's it. Once
If there is a wave of alien species, I will rush back immediately."
Zhu Tian originally thought Xu Anhua would ask him where he was going, but to his surprise, she just nodded.
"Okay. But my suggestion is that if there is a wave of alien species, as the marshal, it is better not to risk returning to the dangerous area."
"I will come back because there are people here who are very important to me." Zhu Tian said seriously.
"...I will protect them for you." Xu Anhua promised in a calm tone.
"Thank you. But don't be too nervous. No.
Quasi-rumors are just rumors.”
Zhu Tian patted her on the shoulder, then turned and walked out of the office door.
The door is closed.
After staring at the closed door for a long time, Xu Anhua stretched out his hand and pinched his face.
Then she lowered her hand.
"strangeness."
She muttered to herself in an emotionless tone and looked out the window.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and there was no cloud in the sky.
However, this kind of clear sky gave her a vague illusion of being unreal.
This feeling is like the calm before the storm.
It was beyond Zhu Tian's expectation.
There was a clear sky over the wasteland, but when he returned to the present world, it was pouring rain here.
Big raindrops fell on the glass window, making a roaring sound in the storm. The palm leaves outside the window were blown to one side, and the sea not far away was also rolling with roaring waves, and no ship could be seen.
After putting on some formal clothes, Zhu Tian went to the garage and opened the door of the black Santana. Naturally, he was reluctant to sit in that Lamborghini in this damn weather.
Because of the heavy rain, the car drove very slowly. After half an hour, we finally arrived at the Presidential Palace and entered the underground garage under the guidance of the guards. After verifying his identity, the guards respectfully let him go.
When Zhu Tian came to the door of the President's Office, Tommy Remengeso was having a heated discussion with his chief of staff and the vice president. Seeing Zhu Tian appear at the door, Tommy Remengeso was obviously taken aback, and then smiled.
Welcomed him.
"Welcome, Mr. Zhu, I wonder what brings you here?"
As for the backer behind the president, the mysterious shareholder of Daming Trading Company, the vice president and chief of staff of the same party all knew something about it, so they were not dissatisfied when the president interrupted the conversation, but just looked at it calmly.
Zhu Tian glanced at him.
Pretending to shake hands with Tommy Remengesau, Zhu Tian asked: "Are you busy now?"
"Diplomatic issues. Haha, gentlemen, it's already lunch time. How about we wait until 2 o'clock to continue the discussion?"
The chief of staff and the vice president looked at each other and then nodded.
"no problem."
"Agree."
The two left one after another, leaving only Tommy Remengesau and Zhu Tian in the office. Tommy Remengesau walked to the coffee machine, poured two cups of hot coffee for himself and Zhu Tian, and then
He sat in front of the sofa for rest and made an inviting gesture to Zhu Tian, who was sitting opposite him.
"Blue Mountain Coffee."
"Thank you." Zhu Tian smiled, picked up the porcelain cup, took a sip, and leaned on the sofa.
"Tell me, I guess you didn't come to me to drink coffee." Maybe it was because he was very busy these days. Tommy Remengeso spoke very fast.
Seeing Tommy Remengesau speak directly, Zhu Tian stopped talking: "Ocean resources development license, mining license, you can help me get these two documents."
"Are you going to engage in mining? But I remember that there is only one copper mine in Palau with very low reserves." Tommy Remengeso frowned.
Zhu Tian shook his head: "It's not on the sea level, it's below the sea level."
"Seabed mining?"
"That's right. The location is near the southern waters of Anga Island and will not affect the local ecological environment."
"...Okay. I will help you solve this matter." Although he doubted whether Zhu Tian had the ability to mine, Tommy Remengesau still nodded and agreed:
"Anything else?"
"I'm fine," Zhu Tian shook his head and looked at Tommy Zhang with a smile: "But you seem to be fine."
Hearing this, Tommy Remengesau smiled bitterly, picked up the coffee and took a sip.
"The Philippines is trying to use diplomatic means to win over neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, New Guinea, and Australia on the grounds of undermining the stability of the regional situation and illegally seizing hostages, and impose economic sanctions on us. For example, it will raise export tariffs to Palau.
, this will greatly increase the cost of living for ordinary people in Palau. Another example..."
"What's the reaction of various countries?" Because he didn't understand, Zhu Tian interrupted him and asked straight to the point.
Illegal seizure of hostages? That's stupid? How thick-skinned do you have to be to say such a thing? Zhu Tian cursed secretly in his heart.
They were obviously a group of soldiers who entered the country illegally, but they didn't listen to the advice, and were forcibly detained by Zhu Tian's men!
"The countries in the South China Sea basically sided with the Philippines because of their stance on the China issue, and New Guinea expressed neutrality. However, these are not problems. Originally, our trade volume with those countries was not very large."
"The problem is in Australia?" Zhu Tian asked thoughtfully.
"That's right." Tommy Remengeso nodded.
Australia is Palau's main trading partner, and 80% of the goods in Palau's supermarkets come from Australian ports. Once Australia turns to the Philippines, the impact on Palau's economy will undoubtedly be severe.
"According to the latest arms sales agreement between Australia and the Philippines, the Philippines will purchase a 3,600-ton displacement decommissioned frigate from the Australian Navy. Due to this factor, although Australia has not yet expressed its position on this, considering that the Philippines may use it
As an additional condition for negotiations, Australia is very likely to lean towards the Philippines."
Zhu Tian crossed his legs and fell into deep thought.
Tommy Remengesau's expression looked helpless. After all, a small country like Palau does not have much international weight. Even if Australia wants to side with the Philippines, they have nothing to do.
"What is the Philippines' request?"
"Canceling the interrogation in mid-July and unconditionally releasing the 40 imprisoned Filipino soldiers... But this is simply impossible. We have announced the interrogation date to the national media, and many media in Palau and abroad have
They all submitted interview applications to our court." Tommy Remengesau said with a sour brow.
When things have reached this point, there is basically no room for maneuver. Once these 40 people are tried publicly and sentenced, the Philippines' reputation in the international community will be lost, and the "tough image" that Aquino has worked so hard to cultivate will completely change.
Become a joke.
A "small country" dares to slap you in the face, who are you showing your toughness to? The invasion incident that broke out last time was already scandalous enough. If this problem is not handled well, Aquino will have to
Facing angry military families and doubts from the people of the country.
However, Zhu Tian was a little surprised by the Philippines' move. It seems that the mercenary incident more than a month ago still did not make these monkeys remember anything.
"Which party is in power in Australia?" Zhu Tian asked in a deep voice.
"Liberal party."
"What about the opposition parties?"
"Labour...what's wrong with this?" Tommy Remengesau asked.
"Very good, just leave this matter to me." A smile suddenly appeared on Zhu Tian's face and he stood up from the sofa.
"Leave it to you?" Tommy Remengeso asked confused.
"Problems that cannot be solved through diplomatic channels can be solved through political channels. Don't forget, I am a businessman, and businessmen do not have national boundaries."
After finishing the coffee on the coffee table in one gulp, Zhu Tian left Tommy Remengeso with a confused look on his face, and Meteor strode towards the door.
