"A bunch of trash! What are you doing! We negotiated for half a month, and now you're giving me this result? "
From half an hour ago, the roaring in the Country F president's office didn't stop.
Aquino angrily threw a stack of documents in the face of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. His chest was heaving up and down.
Country F's naval equipment basically relied on imports, and the only two "Hamilton" class patrol ships were also scraps from the UA. It was quite interesting that every time there was an arms purchase, the Defense Minister would shamelessly ask the UA to retain the weapons on the warships, but they were all rejected. It was very difficult for people to not respect it as a good dog, even when it was so heartless to this extent.
Now that the Australian side finally relented and even expressed that they would retain some of the weapons, the warships that were almost in their hands flew away just like that? Aquino was counting on this ship to increase the bargaining chips in the South China Sea!
The Minister of Foreign Affairs also felt wronged. The Australian president already agreed, but when they were preparing to discuss the details of the agreement this morning, the other side went back on their words and made things difficult for them on several key issues.
Overnight, the other party suddenly changed their mind, which directly caught the Country F delegation that went to negotiate by surprise.
The chief of staff looked at the sullen Minister of Foreign Affairs and took a deep breath.
"Mr. President, we should call the Rainbow House now —"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a member of parliament rushed in.
"Typhoon 'Squid' passed through the waters near Olaos City. Many buildings, including a hospital, suddenly collapsed when the typhoon passed through. There are currently 31 confirmed casualties …"
"Fu * k!" Aquino roared in exasperation and quickly walked out the door.
A series of troubles ensued. He was just criticized by the media for his diplomatic incompetence, and he didn't want to be labeled as a failure in disaster relief.
"The Rainbow House —"
"Let the Minister of Foreign Affairs go talk. I must be in the disaster area within five hours …"
…
The passage of the typhoon was like a disaster, but the sky was now clear after the rain.
The rainstorm washed away the dust, and the air was filled with a refreshing freshness. The dew on the palm leaves outside the window shone with a crystal luster, reflecting the dawn of the east.
In the morning, Jiang Chen sat at the table and watched the morning news. Based on the weather report, the typhoon named "Squid" was moving along the Pacific Rim of Fire, brushed past the east of Country F, and swept toward the South China coast.
She placed the fried eggs, toast, and coffee on the table in front of Jiang Chen. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek before sitting beside him.
Jiang Chen smiled at Ayesha's gentleness and continued to look at the TV. When he saw the list of cities affected by the disaster, he couldn't help but frown.
As if reading Jiang Chen's mind, Ayesha asked softly, "Xia Shiyu is in Xiangjiang, is she okay?"
"I'll call her later."
Ayesha nodded, picked up the fork, and focused on her breakfast.
It was almost mid-June. At the beginning of the month, BHP shipped 100,000 tons of iron ore and 200,000 tons of aluminum ore to the deepwater port on Coro Island according to the agreement signed with Jiang Chen.
After breakfast, Ayesha drove Jiang Chen to the deepwater port at the southern tip of Coro Island.
Generally speaking, imported goods such as iron ore were packed in small containers with a 20-foot specification. Because it couldn't be filled, one container could only hold 20 tons of ore. Jiang Chen didn't have a clear idea of the 300,000 tons of ore, but when he arrived at the port, he was shocked.
Ten thousand containers filled the port that wasn't spacious to begin with. The usually idle port manager had to work overtime because of the cargo. Therefore, when they saw Jiang Chen, they obviously didn't have a pleasant expression.
But Jiang Chen didn't say much to them. He called Zhang Yaping and asked him to contact the person in charge of the port to give all employees the day off. After confirming that they all left, Jiang Chen ordered Ayesha to guard the entrance of the deepwater port before he began the long process of moving the goods.
In order to prevent the "warehouse from exploding," Jiang Chen had to inform Sun Jiao first before he drove with her to the steel plant in Shenxiang town. After he sent away the people of the steel plant, he placed the teleport point at the empty space in the backyard of the steel plant used to store raw materials.
It wasn't until noon when Jiang Chen finally finished "sweeping the goods."
"That was f * cking tiring …"
Jiang Chen clapped his hands and walked out of the now spacious port.
He made up his mind that he must build a steel plant on Ange Island. At least he could process the raw materials here, or he could just transfer the steel production process from the apocalypse to the modern world. The efficiency of directly transporting iron ore was too low.
Also, he had to build a larger warehouse at the Fishbone base specifically for the transfer of large quantities of resources.
In the car, Ayesha tilted her head and asked.
"Where are we going next?"
"To the passenger port. I have to go to Ange Island in a bit," Jiang Chen said as he took out his phone.
Ayesha nodded and started the car.
…
Xiangjiang.
Because of the orange rainstorm warning, Future Technology was closed today. Xia Shiyu also stayed in the apartment. She stared at the bean-sized raindrops outside the window before she shifted her gaze to the TV.
"… Behind me is a public hospital in Country F's Olas City. From the outside, you can clearly see that the area is a mess. Country F has already sent out police to rescue the victims in the area … "On the screen, the reporter in the raincoat looked disheveled.
Country F? It should be close to Pannu Islands.
Xia Shiyu's geographical knowledge was not good. She could only vaguely remember the approximate location of Pannu Islands.
[What is he … Eh?] [Why am I thinking about him?]
Xia Shiyu covered her burning face as she grabbed the remote on the coffee table and changed the channel.
She didn't really like watching the news.
In her memory, she only paid attention to the news twice. The first time was when Jiang Chen went to Iraq, and the second time was now.
At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.
Xia Shiyu walked to the bedroom and picked up the charging phone on the bedside table. When she saw the name of the caller, her heart inexplicably beat faster twice. What a coincidence! She was just about to call to confirm his safety, but she didn't expect him to call her first.
"Hello?"
"How are things on your side?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's concerned voice, Xia Shiyu's heart warmed.
"It's raining. How are you?"
"It's been raining for the past few days, but it cleared up this morning. Now that the typhoon is heading to your side, be careful and reduce your travel. Mhmm, you didn't go to work today, right? "Jiang Chen reminded her.
"No."
"That's good." Jiang Chen smiled.
[What do you mean that's good? What kind of boss encourages their employees to go on vacation?] Xia Shiyu muttered in her mind.
"By the way, after you finish your work, take some time to come to Xin."
"Come to Xin? Let me ask, what kind of strange project is it? "Xia Shiyu sighed.
"Rather than calling it strange, it would be more accurate to call it shocking."
Xia Shiyu paused for a moment as she was confused.
"Shocking the world? What is it? "
"Virtual reality MMORPG. Have you heard of it?" Jiang Chen smiled.
