Chapter 387: Debt Collection
As a defeated country, Dongyue was not discouraged, and they prepared a very decent greeting party. A very authoritative representative was also sent to pick up the guests, a woman of about forty years of age, who had an excellent temperament and a well-proportioned figure, and although she did not have the posture of a mother, she also gave people a sense of dignified and elegant.
"Hello two, the team is ready, please come with me. ”
The middle-aged woman walked over with a smile, didn't bother to say hello to Sakurano Jiu, and immediately beckoned Zhang Zhao and Chen Yang to get into an extended version of the Lincoln sedan.
The convoy was all black Mercedes, and there were guards at the front on motorcycles. The stretched Lincoln sedan that Zhang Zhao was riding in was in second place, in the safest position in the convoy.
Following the convoy, Zhang Zhao and the others drove all the way to the center of Dongyue Kingdom.
Along the way, Zhang Zhao saw a lot of novel buildings and felt the culture of Dongyue Kingdom. The houses here are generally not high, at most four storeys, but they are very neatly arranged, and the streets and alleys are not very wide, only two carriageways and two sidewalks. But there are a lot of people, and it even looks a little crowded.
There are all kinds of storefronts on both sides of the road, and the archway at the entrance of the store is written in the characters of Dongyueguo, which Zhang Zhao can't understand, but there is only one kind of storefront, which is watched in Chinese characters, and that is "ramen".
Zhang Zhao didn't know much about Dongyue Kingdom, but he had also heard that because of its geographical location, earthquakes occur frequently, so in order to make it easier for people to flee when disasters come, the houses here are very low, and the building materials are also the lightest.
The convoy traveled for about three hours and finally came to the second city. The city is much more prosperous than the previous one, full of high-rise buildings, and the neon lights in the city look very beautiful. The shops on the street, as before, have many of them marked with the word "ramen" on their doors.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhao became more and more curious about this ramen, why are there so many stores, but ramen is the most numerous, and it is also the only font he can recognize? He even thought that after the compensation agreement was reached, he would come over with Chen Yang to eat the ramen here and see what was different from his own country.
Finally, the vehicle stopped. Zhang Zhao came to the most advanced office building in Dongyue Kingdom, this office building was built very majestic, and the whole was like a book, which was a curve. Accompanied by the middle-aged woman and a group of escorts, Zhang Zhao and Chen Yang walked into the building, took the elevator, and came to the twelfth floor and entered a conference room.
The conference room is very large, with photographers setting up cameras to record videos, and at the front, there is a man in a black dress with a disfigured face.
The man seemed to be in his fifties, his mental temperament was not very good, and his face was sad, giving people a very melancholy feeling.
"Sovereign, the two generals are here. ”
After entering the door, Sakurano Jiu took the initiative to introduce: "This is Zhang Zhao, the general of the 713 theater of the great country of China, and this is Chen Yang, the general of the 712 theater." ”
"Well, hello!"
Zhang Zhao and Chen Yang both hugged their fists in greeting.
"This is the king of my Dongyue Kingdom, and the one next to me is our first lady. ”
Although Zhang Zhao didn't know what position the first lady was, it seemed that she should be one of the supreme rulers here, and she seemed to be on an equal footing with the king, and then greeted the two of them with fists.
After a while, a group of people came in the conference room, some of them were wearing military uniforms, some were wearing formal clothes, and at a glance, it was clear that these were all the leading figures of Dongyue Kingdom.
As soon as the meeting began, the cameras that had already been prepared began to record the video.
The king of Dongyue first made a long and sincere apology, and then explained that his side was willing to unconditionally compensate for the losses he had caused to Huaguo.
After the king of Dongyue Kingdom finished speaking, Zhang Zhao calmly took out the three account books from his arms, and handed them directly to him without saying much nonsense.
The king opened the ledger and read it carefully, word by word. No one bothered him, everyone was waiting, and when he saw half of it, the king's body suddenly trembled a little, and even the hand that turned the book couldn't help but tremble.
Everyone could see that he was very emotional, but in the end, he still insisted on reading this book, and then went to read the second ledger.
Every word pierces people's hearts like needles. Especially the number after each line, to him, it was like an extra felony added to himself.
When the third ledger was halfway over, the king could no longer rest in peace, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out.
No one stepped forward to ask him about his condition, let alone leave his seat, and everyone didn't even blink their eyes.
Finally, after reading the three ledgers, he closed them heavily.
"See? What is this? Is it a ledger?"
The king stood up with a trembling body, and asked these words with a trembling voice, and all those present bowed their heads, and no one could answer his question.
"No, it is a sin, not your sin, it is my punishment. It's a sin I committed in Dongyue and in China. ”
The king can be described as heartbroken, in the end, he actually shed tears, for this expedition to China, Dongyue can be said to have lost his wife and soldiers, the benefits are not to be said, and in the end he has to compensate so much money, as a king, he has no face to face anyone, let alone face his ancestors.
This time, the total amount of compensation exceeded 130 trillion, such a huge number, it can no longer be described simply by astronomy, how many years does it take for the people of the entire Dongyue Kingdom to earn so much money?
In the end, the king's body trembled and walked towards Zhang Zhao, and when he walked to his side, his feet were no longer able to support his body, and he could barely maintain his standing with his hands on the table.
"Young general, although it was my fault to attack Huaguo, it was also a last resort. When I came here just now, you must have seen that the population of Dongyue Country is increasing, more and more children have no place to go to school, and more people are facing unemployment and homelessness. It's really helpless to make this decision. It is my fault that I have caused so much damage to your country now, but can I pray that you will be spared some reparation for the sake of our people?" The king's words were said to have been uttered with pain, and Zhang Zhao saw his sincerity.
