"Yes," Jiang Chen said frankly.
He didn't hide NAC's strength, because that was not necessary. When the NAC flag is flying over the city, those survivors, merchants, and mercenaries who have passed by will naturally bring this powerful and strange name to the entire wasteland.
When he observes Kong Qian, Kong Qian also observes him.
"I feel a danger from you."
"Can I understand this as a compliment to me?" Jiang Chen said jokingly, lifting Erlang's legs.
"Of course. Our businessmen are all over the country, and there are very few forces on the waste soil that scare us. The Northern Union District counts as one, and you count as one," Kong Qian said with a smile.
"Because of my guns?"
"Because of your ambitions." Kong Qian stared at Jiang Chen's eyes.
This behavior is very impolite in friendly talks, but he still did it. He tried to find something in Jiang Chen's eyes that could prove his conjecture, but the fact is that he did, because Jiang Chen did not conceal his ambitions.
"Why do you see it?" Jiang Chen smiled.
"From the layout of this base," moved his fart. Unit, Kong Qian glanced at the decoration of the room, "and this office. People who are generally fanatical about order, and about the quality of life of themselves and their neighbors The pursuit is very high. Of course, the most intuitive expression is the name of the NAC. New Asian Cooperation Organization? Good name. "
"Feeling restless?" Jiang Chen just asked a playful sentence about Kong Qian's controversy.
"Yes," Kong Qian said bluntly, "Our businessmen are thinking about a problem. If you pull this nail in the middle of the road, who can guarantee you will not remove your feet from Jia Is the city moving towards Hangzhou again? "
"So your proposal?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Let Jiashi be our buffer zone. Without Shanglu on the road, our businessmen can develop the shallow sea, or take the Taihu Lake. But without this nail, I am afraid we will not be able to sleep well." Kong Qian looked at Jiang Chen's eyes seriously proposed.
"This is impossible." Jiang Chen refused politely, "Even if we don't take the initiative, the mutants will attack us in the winter. By then they will occupy the sky, and it is impossible to guarantee that the war will not burn the Taipu River .. I will not bet on the inevitable war with short-term peace. "
"We can help you build a fortress along the river." Kong Qian extended a finger and said seriously, "500,000 Yajing, as long as you promise not to march west."
Regarding his proposal, Jiang Chen didn't have the heart.
"That's really a shame, we have raised two million sub-crystals by issuing war bonds."
The negotiations have reached an impasse.
Kong Qian and Jiang Chen looked at each other and fell into silence.
After a while, he suddenly smiled and said.
"Do you know why mutants get so much armament?"
"Why?" Jiang Chen asked indifferently.
"According to intelligence, there is a group of people who have migrated from the Northern Union District, and the organization named Dusk Church is providing logistical support to them." Kong Qian said with a smile.
This information is a bit outdated. When Chen Xiaorou sent Sun Xiaorou to pierce the last time, Jiang Chen had pried out a conspiracy about the evening church from her mouth in a special way. People provided help.
In fact, it is not difficult to speculate on this point. Those mutants who have obvious industrial abilities can hold a heavy machine gun, or even a large number of heavy firearms, such as artillery. It was said that there was no one to support it, and Jiang Chen was not believed.
Just from Kong Qian ’s smiling expression, Jiang Chen read something else.
"Are you threatening me?" Jiang Chen asked playfully, looking at his eyes.
"I haven't said anything yet. But as a merchant organization, we reserve the right to invest in any valuable project." Kong Qian spread his hand.
Jiang Chen sneered.
Oh, are these words so obvious that you dare not admit it?
"You are playing with fire."
"I am looking for the possibility of cooperation between the two sides." Kong Qian corrected without giving back.
Jiang Chen suddenly stood up.
Kong Qian's eyes flashed a moment of tension, but soon recovered his composure.
"If you think we can stop the eradication of the Jiashi mutants by subsidizing the mutants, then you can try it." Jiang Chen walked in front of him and looked down at his eyes, "but I ’m telling you clearly if you really help the mutants. ”
Panted by this momentum, Kong Qian couldn't help holding his breath, waiting for the dictator's next sentence.
Jiang Chen grinned and spit out the words that Kong Qian least wanted to hear.
"That is war."
The atmosphere in the office instantly solidified, but the solidified atmosphere soon dissipated with Jiang Chen's next sentence.
"Of course, I believe that with your vision, you will definitely not make such a stupid choice."
His eyes shook for a moment, but Kong Qian finally nodded hesitantly.
"Very well, then welcome back to the negotiating table." Jiang Chen smiled and then sat back on the sofa.
Kong Qian took a breath of fresh air slowly after the pressure was relieved.
At this time, he suddenly discovered that his back had been soaked in cold sweat.
......
The negotiations ended in a peaceful atmosphere.
Jiang Chen did not intend to discuss the details of the military operations in autumn with him, but talked to him indiscriminately about how to cooperate on the business road after the occupation of Jiashi. Although the war has not yet begun, it is clear that Jiang Chen has regarded the mutant territory as his own.
Kong Qian still expressed concern that Jiang Chen ’s sphere of influence would border Hangzhou City after he occupied Jia City. But in the face of Jiang Chen's tough posture, he was helpless.
After agreeing on the trade routes of Shanglu, the installation of midway supply stations and outposts, Kong Qian hurriedly resigned.
Seeing that Kong Qian left, Han Junhua walked in.
"Why not detain him?"
"Because it doesn't make sense." Jiang Chen yawned and waved his hand. "Loose government is so annoying. Even if you kill its leader, it will be able to choose another one for you at a meeting." Or, this kind of leader is a mascot or something like that. When I shook hands with him, I knew he was not a professional businessman. "
Professional businessmen do n’t touch guns and calluses. Instead of being a president, he is more of a spokesperson for a group of businessmen pushing to the front desk.
"You don't seem to worry about Hangzhou's response?" Han Junhua asked.
"They need a market, and we have the largest market in the entire province of Suhang. Safety is still Yajing, and they have to make a choice, and I am sure they will choose the latter. What ’s more, I am for the sixth block businessmen Their attitude also appeased their emotions. Even if NAC took over defense, the property would not suffer any loss ... most businessmen would definitely think so. "Jiang Chen got 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, but she looked very serious.
"Marshal, there is news from the 6th block that there have been frequent trends in heterogeneous activities in the suburbs of the city recently. Including many mutant cockroaches, mutant mice and other exotic species also showed strong aggression. Generally, these exotic species are usually Will not actively attack survivors ... There are rumors that the second round of heterogeneity is brewing in Wanghai City. "
"Different tide?" Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
He hasn't experienced the so-called alien tide, but he heard that it is terrible. In the early years, when the World United Organization had not launched a colonial ship, a heterogeneous tide erupted in Wanghai City. It is said that the former government troops stationed in the scientific research institute near the city center were driven out of the city by those violent aliens.
It is said that the Sixth Street was also affected by the impact, but fortunately, with the equipment left by the World Organization, it finally resisted the impact of the heterogeneous tide. It was also at that time that the Sixth District established the ten-member committee.
But at this time ...
Wang Qing nodded.
"Let Wang Zhaowu pay attention, he is closer to the city center. I will give him the permission to open and close the gate of the shelter, allowing him to lead the ground residents to the shelter when necessary. In addition, increase the energy of the shelter. Reserve 100 fuel rods, you should be responsible for this matter. "Jiang Chen asked.
"Understood." Wang Qing nodded.
Every refuge is open for a long time span, and no one knows in which year the other refuges in Wanghai opened. Once the Refuge No. 27 is lost, it will mean that NAC's scientific research ability has gone back more than one level. Of course, Jiang Chen will not allow this kind of thing to happen. If a heterogeneous tide really occurs, he first needs to ensure the safety of the scientist's life.
No matter whether the xenophobia will really happen, second-hand preparation will always be right.
"... In addition, build temporary shelters in the sewers. Be prepared for temporary bunkers, beds, nutritional mixtures and stoves. Although we all know that these things will not be used eventually, just in case , You still have to prepare. "
"Okay." Wang Qing nodded, and after seeing no further instructions from Jiang Chen, he turned and walked away quickly.
After a pause, Jiang Chen looked at Han Junhua again.
"In the next few days ... well, it may be half a month. I have something in the field. You and Sun Jiao will discuss it. It ’s her job when I ’m away, just That ’s it. I ’ll rush back as soon as a heterogeneous tide occurs. "
Jiang Chen thought Han Junhua would ask him where to go, but it was surprising that she just nodded.
"Okay. But my suggestion is that if a heterogeneous tide occurs, it ’s better not to risk returning to the danger zone as a marshal."
"I will come back because there are people who are very important to me." Jiang Chen said seriously.
"... I will protect them for you." Han Junhua promised blandly.
"Thank you. But do n’t be too nervous, maybe the rumors are just rumors."
Jiang Chen patted her shoulder, then turned and walked outside the office door.
The door closed.
Looking at the closed door, after a long time, Han Junhua reached out and squeezed his face.
Then she lowered her hand.
"Strange."
She murmured to herself in a sentimental tone and cast her gaze out of the window.
The sun is shining outside the window, and no cloud is visible in the sky.
However, this kind of sunnyness makes her feel an unreal illusion.
This feeling is like the tranquility before the storm. (To be continued.)
