With the training of ghost agents completed, the team of the Palau National Security Bureau has finally been enriched. During the training, Ivan carefully summarized the personality characteristics and expertise of each agent in detail. The organizational skills are relatively strong.
Those with strong observation skills are promoted to ministers, those with strong observation skills serve as counter-espionage officers or bodyguards of important officials, and those with strong operational skills are sent overseas to collect intelligence...
These 110 agents are like a wide spread net, penetrating into every corner of Palau and extending its tentacles overseas. They are like 110 pairs of eyes, monitoring what is happening in every corner of Palau.
Plotting and snooping.
Early the next morning, according to today's schedule, Zhu Tian planned to go to the Presidential Palace to meet Tommy Remengeso. Yesterday afternoon, he had already called the Presidential Palace to make a reservation. The President would make a special reservation from the schedule.
Spend the morning meeting with him.
Soon, the car drove into the garage of the Presidential Palace. Under the guidance of the staff, Zhu Tian walked into Tommy Remengesau's office.
Seeing Zhu Tian, Tommy Remengesau, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and came over with a smile on his face and said.
"any drinks?"
"Thank you, just coffee." Zhu Tian said with a smile, sitting opposite Tommy Remengesau,
He is the only one in Palau who has the honor of allowing the president to make coffee in person. But it is no wonder that he is so enthusiastic. After all, Zhu Tian's Daming Group and Daming Trading have directly provided Palau with a total of 10,000 people.
The number of jobs indirectly provided is no less than 40,000. Although the large influx of foreigners has raised the cost of living for locals in the short term, it has also made the locals make a small fortune.
Just looking at the booming industry on Anga Island and the growing tourism industry on the other eight islands is enough to make him, the president, smile from ear to ear.
After carrying two cups of coffee, he returned to the sofa and placed the cups on the coffee table. Tommy Remengesau sat back on the sofa.
"How have you been recently?" Zhu Tian asked with a smile as he picked up the coffee and took a sip.
"It's very busy, but I feel pretty good. The Philippines is overwhelmed by the intensifying independence movement in Moro. Australia is ready to cooperate further with us in economic and trade cooperation, but we still have small differences on the tariff issue. This
Our people and their people have been chatting about this for a few days, but it was all done in a friendly atmosphere." Tommy Remengeso crossed his fingers on his knees and said pleasantly: "So, what we discussed today
The issue is?"
Putting down the coffee cup, Zhu Tian smiled and said two words.
"Visit China."
"Visiting China?" Tommy Remengesau frowned slightly: "But with the current civil war in the Philippines getting more and more intense, our getting too close to the Tang Dynasty may arouse the vigilance of the United States."
"Then let's visit together." Zhu Tian said with a smile.
December is getting closer and closer. Whether it is for the smooth launch of virtual reality headsets or the full opening of Palau's tourism industry, a high-level diplomatic visit is imperative. As a representative of Palau entrepreneurs, Zhu
Tian will go with the delegation.
"Visit at the same time? What about the order?"
"According to the distance, we will visit China first and then the United States. The time will be arranged at the end of this year. I will accompany you then," Zhu Tian said.
"At the end of December. After the November election in the United States?" Tommy Ramengeso said, touching his chin.
"That's right." Zhu Tian nodded.
"It should be feasible. After the election is over and the US government completes the change of office, it will submit a visit application. Considering the response time... how about setting the specific time on December 25?" Tommy Remengeso suggested.
"No problem." Zhu Tian nodded.
"What about access content?" Tommy Remengesau then asked.
"Of course we focus on economic and trade cooperation and promoting people-to-people exchanges. After all, maintaining absolute neutrality in international affairs is our basic national policy. You should be more familiar with diplomatic rhetoric than I am." Zhu Tian said with a smile.
"Okay... I will arrange for my assistant to help me arrange the timetable, and then make a list of entourage." Tommy Remengeso nodded.
"Then please."
“You’re welcome, with Palau’s current economic growth, we really need to establish good diplomatic relations with these big countries. According to the plan, we originally planned to launch a diplomatic visit early next year, but now it is only one month ahead of schedule.
"Gently picking up the coffee cup and taking a sip, Tommy Remengeso smiled.
Palau's economy is currently transforming from a primitive farming economy to one dominated by tourism and supplemented by light industry. At the same time, Daming Mining's deep-sea mining technology has also delivered a large amount of excess molybdenum and manganese ore to the international market. With just
Naturally, Palau's domestic market cannot digest these resources. At this time, it is necessary for the president to act as a "salesman" and lead a group of entrepreneurs to go overseas to solicit business.
Generally, out of considerations such as wooing and exporting influence, big countries often do not let visiting small countries return empty-handed.
"Is this the only thing?" Putting down the coffee cup, Tommy Remengesau crossed his fingers again and asked pleasantly.
"One more thing..." After a pause, Zhu Tian looked at him and said, "I need to launch a satellite."
"Launching a satellite?" Tommy Remengesau was stunned because the topic was too exciting.
"That's right. In other words, I plan to establish an aerospace science and technology center on an uninhabited island near the equator in Palau for scientific research, rocket launches, meteorological observations, etc." Zhu Tian said seriously.
"Don't you consider renting rockets? For example, Russia. They seem to be very good at that, and you seem to have a good relationship with them." Tommy Remengeso couldn't help but said.
"Leasing rockets is not a long-term solution. I don't want the satellites launched by Daming Trading to be controlled by others forever. And for national security reasons, Palau must also have the ability to launch satellites independently. What's more, we are close to the equator and have a unique geographical advantage.
If you don't use it, it will be a waste of resources." Zhu Tian said seriously.
"But launching a satellite is not as simple as you think." Tommy Remengesau sighed and began to explain the troubles to Zhu Tian.
First, according to common practice, launching a rocket requires notifying the International Civil Aviation Organization, the International Maritime Organization, and the International Telecommunications Union of the satellite launch plan.
Secondly, because Palau has joined the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies, commonly known as the Outer Space Treaty, Palau has notified the United Nations of its space launch activities.
obligations.
"Is it just a notification? Then just ask your secretary to write a few documents and submit them." Zhu Tian said.
"It's not that simple. Various international organizations will come to investigate our launch status and confirm that we are launching safe satellites, not intercontinental missiles. And it can be expected that the Philippines will definitely protest our launch plan.
And use political means to obstruct our launch plan in the name of national security." Tommy Remengesau said, shaking his head.
Zhu Tian's lips curved into a sneer.
"Don't worry, they have too much time to take care of themselves. Do they still have to worry about our launch plan? I will put the complete launch plan on your desk in three days. The launch project is a civilian communication satellite and is fully in compliance with international law. As for those 'international
Tour groups'. They can inspect whatever they want."
Seeing Zhu Tian's firm attitude, Tommy Remengeso sighed.
"Okay, if you insist. But forgive me for asking directly, does Ming Trading have the ability to launch rockets? It's not as simple as lighting up a firecracker."
"You don't need to worry about this. I will solve this problem." Zhu Tian said with a smile.
Just because you don’t have it now doesn’t mean you won’t have it tomorrow.
There are so many half-dead private aerospace companies in the United States, so why not just spend money to buy back all the people and equipment? Just leave the equipment that is restricted from leaving the country without taking it with you. Zhu Tian doesn't care about those backward gadgets. Anyway, all he needs is one
Technicians who understand aerospace are assigned to be responsible for launch operations and equipment maintenance.
As for the rockets and satellites that need to be launched, he will get them from the end of the world, and the operating instructions of the equipment will be familiar to experts with a foundation in this field. The real "Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute" is not in this world, but in the end of the world.
Launching rockets is of great strategic and economic significance. It goes without saying that space rockets are the front-end technology for intercontinental missiles. Any country that has the ability to launch space rockets has the potential to strike globally. And having this capability, for
Other countries are a deterrent in themselves.
As for the economic field, from the establishment of an independent virtual reality network separated from submarine cables, to the construction of space elevators, to the development of lunar resources, all are inseparable from the most basic aerospace technology of launch rockets.
Zhu Tian hopes that technicians in the present world can gradually digest the aerospace technology from the apocalypse. After all, he is not a scientist himself. Although he can easily bring things from the apocalypse to the present world, digesting these cross-era technologies still has to rely on scientists in the present world.
The sooner you start talent reserve work, the better. It will be a long-term investment.
After finishing the coffee in the cup, Zhu Tian said goodbye to Tommy Remengeso.
When Zhu Tian opened the door, the chief of staff in a suit was preparing to enter. After smiling at the tall Chinese, Zhu Tian walked past him.
After his eyes lingered on Zhu Tian's back for a moment, the chief of staff put away his forced smile and walked into the presidential office.
"Mr. President, is this really okay?"
"What are you referring to? My chief of staff." Tommy Remengesau smiled as he put the coffee cup on the table.
"With all due respect, as far as I can see, the person sitting in the president's seat is not you, but that man." Taking a deep breath, Zhong Wei said.
"Is there anything wrong with this? Eighty percent of our current fiscal revenue in Palau is directly or indirectly related to his Daming Group. This year's GDP growth is expected to exceed 100%, which will be a miracle in the history of the world." Tommy Ray
Mongerso said indifferently.
"But the economy dominated by oligopolies is extremely dangerous. When necessary, they will even subvert..." Zhong Wei said with some excitement.
"Mr. Zhong Wei, you have to know that this country was subverted by them." Tommy Remengesau glanced at Zhong Wei indifferently.
Looking at the indifferent eyes, Zhong Wei couldn't help but hold his breath.
For a moment, he felt a little strange about this familiar president.
"The person sitting in the president's seat is me, Mr. Zhong Wei. And as long as I am always so talkative, the person sitting in this seat will always be me."
"And from what you can see, compared with a year ago, has people's living standards declined or improved?" Tommy Remengeso said with a slight smile.
"Indeed, it has improved... a lot."
Although he disagreed with Zhu Tian's use of the president as a puppet, Zhong Wei had to admit that it was precisely because of Zhu Tian's huge investment that the economy of the Palau Islands was awakened. From building apartment buildings to improving the living environment of the islanders to investing in basic
In terms of facility construction, instead of doing anything that harmed Palau's interests, Daming Trading has done more good things than can be counted on two hands.
"That's enough." Tommy Remengeso smiled.
"But......"
Zhong Wei wanted to say something else, but Tommy Remengesau interrupted him rudely.
"Mr. Zhong Wei, the reason why I hired you as chief of staff is because of your Ph.D. in economics from Harvard and your outstanding abilities in professional knowledge fields such as international relations and trade, not because of your ridiculous political sense.
And boring ambition. This is not the White House, this is the Presidential Palace of Palau, do you understand what I mean?”
After a long while, Zhong Wei nodded with difficulty.
"Understood."
"So some things are not allowed to be mentioned again in the future, understand?"
