"Damn it, can't you drive slower?" Trump complained loudly as his blond hair was blown into a bird's nest.
The cockpit glass was a bit leaky, and the wings were shaking violently. Even with Celestial Trade's engineering robots, it was quite difficult to repair this antique. They had to 3D print some parts and replace them with old ones. Furthermore, he had made two wooden external fuel tanks.
As for why it was made of wood, it seemed easy to understand.
"Sorry, Mr. President, if the speed of the engine can't keep up, we may fall because of your weight." Although Admiral Brian, who was responsible for piloting the plane, also looked old, his expression was quite calm.
"FU * K!"
Trump fiercely pointed his middle finger at him, but the latter ignored it calmly.
When they flew to California, the fuel was exhausted.
With Admiral Brian's superb piloting skills, the Mustang P51 finally landed safely in the farmland on the outskirts of California.
Seeing that someone had destroyed his farmland, the old farmer with the double-barreled shotgun walked over aggressively. When he saw the two people sitting in the cockpit, the old farmer from California's eyes widened. The double-barreled shotgun in his hand slipped and fell to the ground.
"Ahem, hi." With an awkward smile on his face, Trump combed his hair with his hand and pushed open the cockpit cover. "Can you help me? I don't seem to be able to get out … "
"You, you, you are …" The old farmer's eyes widened, he quickly stepped forward, helped Trump, and unfastened the seat belt around his fat body. "You are the one, I recognize you …"
"Yes, I am Trump." Trump carelessly combed his blond hair and raised his chin slightly. "Your president is back."
…
"Unbelievable."
"Unbelievable?" Jiang Chen sat on the sofa in the living room with a glass of champagne in his hand and asked with a smile.
"You actually won." Looking at the news on TV, Natasha was still in disbelief.
In the news, Celestial Trade soldiers lined up on the lawn in front of the Rainbow House. Surrounded by a group of diplomats and bodyguards, Xin President Zhang Yaping and President Mike Pence met and shook hands. The two sides signed an unconditional surrender agreement under the witness of the world's media and announced the end of the war.
"I dare say that the Kremlin was still discussing whether to send volunteers yesterday." Natasha said with mixed feelings. "I didn't expect that you had already solved it yourself."
"It's nothing. Just the day before yesterday, the Polish volunteer army arrived in Quebec, Canada. Now they just boarded the ship and are ready to go home." Jiang Chen smiled and gently took a sip of the champagne in the goblet.
"Are you going to station troops in North America?" Natasha looked at the power armor troops armed to the teeth in the news and asked Jiang Chen with an odd expression.
"Garrison?" Jiang Chen laughed. "Garrison is impossible, and there is no need for that. Of course, that being said, we will still retain about 12,000 soldiers in several important cities such as Capital, New York, Philadelphia, and Boston to assist the local police to maintain order until the UA fully fulfills the post-war agreement and evacuates from North America in batches. This period could be as long as ten years or as short as three to five years. As for the specific time, it all depends on the performance of the interim government. "
When Jiang Chen said this, he looked at the stiff-faced Mike Pence in the TV news, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
However, Mr. President probably wouldn't live to see that day.
"Let's talk about something you may be interested in." Jiang Chen smiled. "Let the UA worry about the UA."
"What is it?" Natasha took a photo from Jiang Chen, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
In the center of the photo was a gray-black planet. In the dark background, it was difficult to see its outline without looking carefully.
"Himalia, a thumbnail." Jiang Chen put down the champagne in his hand and said with a smile, "We plan to build a colony here, mine the energy and minerals on it, and at the same time provide supplies for the Envoy-class starship cruising in the Kuiper Belt."
Now it was discovered that there were three worlds in the solar system with traces of river carvings, Earth, Mars, and the last one was Himalia.
Himalia had a relatively complete atmospheric convection system. Clouds condensed and then entered the ocean and lake through rain. It was the only planet other than Earth with flowing rivers. Of course, it was not water that flowed on it, but methane.
In addition to burning as a fossil fuel, the value of methane to the industry was needless to say, even in the space age. The cost of colonizing Himalia might be much higher than the cost of colonizing Mars, but the benefits to the entire Earth civilization were still considerable.
If there were no accidents, it would become the closest space colony and large port to the edge of the solar system for Earth civilization.
"You plan to jointly build this colony in the name of the Earth Defense Alliance?" Natasha looked at Jiang Chen incomprehensibly and asked, "Why?"
"Because in the long run, it doesn't matter what name it is built in." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "And with the participation of people from all countries, it can make our speed a lot faster."
Celestial Trade had already proved its rise with the decline of an old hegemon. From the moment the Holy Shield System was opened, there was no opponent in the world that could threaten Xin. Under such circumstances, it no longer mattered in whose name the colony was built.
After the establishment of the Earth Federation, the entire world would be shrouded in the influence of Celestial Trade. In this case, there was no essential difference between establishing this colony in the name of Celestial Trade or the Earth Defense Alliance. Instead, it would increase the influence of Celestial Trade on the future Earth Federation.
"There are conditions to participate in this colonization plan, right?" Natasha asked.
"Of course, there is no free lunch in the world, but our conditions are very simple. It is mainly from the standpoint of maintaining the common interests of all member states of the Earth Defense Alliance," Jiang Chen smiled. "For example, starting from about next month, we will consider building astronaut training centers in several major member states and several minor member states with good aerospace strength to train suitable colonists and starship crews."
Of course, there was a fee for training, but after obtaining the colonist qualification, the colony would arrange work for the colonists. The salary standard was three times the lowest salary for the same type of work on Earth in accordance with Xin's labor law and paid in Xin New dollars.
Including various subsidies, the salary was quite attractive.
"You can discuss it with the Kremlin. The people who are interested are probably there. I will convey it for you. I can't guarantee the results, but it shouldn't be a big problem." Natasha put the photo aside, picked up the glass of vodka from the table, and took a sip. "Speaking of which, when are you going to have a party? To celebrate your victory. "
"You can put the party aside for now," Jiang Chen said with a smile. Jiang Chen smiled and glanced at Mike Pence on the TV news. "I plan to go to North America in two days. Speaking of which, the last time I visited California, I left in a hurry. I think there shouldn't be so many disappointing people this time. "
