Chapter 424: The Problem (I)

"Are you all ready?"

"Yes, sir, everything is ready. ”

After watching Chu Qing enter the conference room, he left the building used for the meeting of the four empires, and walked into the several trucks parked on the side of the road, strictly protected by the Red Police soldiers, and one of them was carrying an iron cargo box behind it.

And these trucks temporarily transferred from the Gunsmiths' Guild, these iron cargo boxes that look no different from ordinary cargo boxes are actually loaded with a complete set of listening facilities that meet the standards of military equipment.

It was here that the staff headquarters headed by No. 1 would provide a series of suggestions to Chu Qing in the conference room.

Of course, it can only be a suggestion, and the specific content of the meeting still depends on Chu Qing who is at the meeting site.

The opinion of a country is completely arbitrary, and from a diplomatic point of view, this situation can really be said to be a devastating disaster.

"Turn on the camera. She said lightly on the shoulder of the staff member in front of her.

"Yes. Listening to No. 1's words, sitting in front of the monitoring equipment, the female staff member wearing a headset on her head nodded slightly, and then clicked on a certain red switch on the console, and then six LCD screens of more than ten inches above the heads of the two appeared in the conference room, and the images transmitted from six different angles appeared.

"Wow - how the hell did those spies do it, these cameras. Looking at the clear image on the screen, the staff member sitting in the chair said silently.

Whether it is the shooting angle or the shooting position, these cameras are exactly like a camera is being placed in front of the four of them at the beginning, and the small movements and even expressions of the other party are clearly transmitted.

"Who knows, hey, bring the sound over there. ”

"Yes, car three, transmit the video and audio files to the number one car I am in and the number six car of the staff headquarters, over. ”

"Car No. 3 received, over. A man's voice came from inside the staff's headphones.

"Alright sir," the staff picked up a headset from the side and handed it to One, only to hear a shrill electric current in the headset, then a sudden quieter sound in the headset, and then the sound of dishes colliding.

"It's ......"

"I guess it's a dinner. Number One sighed and said, "After all, this level of civilization, for them, the so-called meeting is more akin to a gathering from the nobility than serious diplomatic work." ”

"Woo, that's really enviable. "As I said, these tricky camera covert cameras not only clearly captured everyone in the room, but also the table full of food.

"Shhhhhh ”

On Chu Qing's side, he sat in his place without knowing anything about No. 1, and ate the food in front of him quietly like a good baby according to standard dining etiquette.

It's just a nuisance......

Accustomed to fast food, he once again sat at the table with a knife and fork in front of the table like now, eating in a regular manner, I don't know why, I feel particularly unaccustomed.

To put it simply, he is now just like when he first started to learn table manners, and he feels uncomfortable that his nose is not his nose and his eyes are not his eyes.

"So everyone, I don't know what everyone thinks of this meal?" Mandasi, who was sitting on Chu Qing's left-hand side, picked up the napkin on the table, wiped his mouth, and said indifferently, "Although it may be a little rushed, let's get to the point first." ”

"Say it. Compared with the suave Mandas, it was like the barbarian who was wearing the same extravagant costume with national characteristics, wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, as if this was his home turf.

"Is this guy's movements and expressions deliberately exaggerated? ”

"It should be to create their own aura, so that they can take the initiative in the negotiation for a while. ”

In other words, the next meeting may be about asking for assistance. ”

"Not necessarily, you think that at this time every country has its own candidates, it may also be related to this matter, and you look at that Mandas, isn't his words also worth considering......"

Just such a few simple words easily caused the debate of several staff officers in several cargo boxes, and it can be said that they are really conscientious enough as a think tank at this time.

But isn't it a bit too much......

"So first of all, about this new pope election, I think you have already selected candidates that you are satisfied with, so the rules are still according to the previous ones. ”

"What did you mean before?" Facing Mandas's words, Chu Qing also put down the knife and fork in his hand and wiped his mouth lightly and said, "If you want to rely on this vague rhetoric to omit the past in such a key place, I'm afraid we won't be able to accept it, or before that, shouldn't we also meet the selected candidates?"

He parroted it.

Of course, this is not Chu Qing's idea, originally according to his thinking, he was not interested in taking care of such a tedious matter, so what he paid attention to was actually the entire staff department behind Chu Qing as a think tank.

And Chu Qing's main role is to act as the 'mouth' of this group of 'brains'.

"Don't worry about that," said Mandas, tapping the bell on the table to summon the servants, and two armoured soldiers walked in with a tray containing a document tied with a ribbon.

"This is an abridged version of what we call the previous 'rules', and as for the detailed documents, we will present them all after without reservation. "As for the introduction of our respective candidates, I'm very sorry, although it wasn't the intention, but I'm afraid it won't." ”

"Why?" Chu Qing spread out the document on the table, then took out a pair of glasses from the pocket of his jacket and put them on his face.

But just as cameras and bugs are everywhere in what is supposed to be a completely secret environment, this seemingly ordinary spectacle has been tampered with.

"Because if you do that, it's hard to guarantee that countries won't make some adjustments because of this, and if there is any friction caused by that, isn't it a little bit more than worth the loss?"

"I see, I see, then please continue. Chu Qing nodded and replied softly.

"Stupid, don't move your head casually, the picture will shake!" In the monitoring room on the other side, looking at the slightly shaking picture, No. 1 grabbed the microphone on the console that was linked to Chu Qing's headphones and said loudly.

Okay, okay, I understand, so don't yell anymore!

"Next, I would like to take this opportunity to discuss with you about the serious shortage of food and other consumables," Mandas said with a frank and unfair look on his lower lip with his ten fingers together, "First of all, for various reasons, I think you all have the problem of food shortages to a greater or lesser extent, and although this has not caused any major adverse effects in a short period of time, what will happen in the long run, I have to say another thing. ”

"So, if I can, I would like to take this opportunity to learn about the situation in your country so that you can come up with a proper way to solve the problem as much as possible, and as a sign of sincerity, I would like to state the current situation in my country. ”

With a flick of his left hand, a piece of parchment was taken out of the ring on his right thumb and floated up and down in the air.

"As far as the food problem in the major cities is solved, if it is a ration supply system, it can barely get by, but there will be serious food shortages for a long time in small and medium-sized cities and other remote towns and villages, and although we cannot provide convincing figures, I can honestly tell you that the situation of China's grain reserves is no longer optimistic. ”

"As for the rest of the necessities, we are sorry that they have reached the bottom of the supply, although we have ordered the branches of the major chambers of commerce in other countries to send all the supplies to the country to meet the domestic needs first, but this is still a drop in the bucket. ”

"The above is the current situation of our country, although there is no specific data, but everyone should be able to hear the problem, so who will speak next?"

"In other words, we don't have enough supplies to provide assistance to other countries," said the staff officer who was sitting at the long table with a headset on his head and looked at the screen placed on the table, pushing his eyes.

"In fact, to a certain extent, it is also a euphemism to tell us that if necessary, we will give priority to food and other important materials for domestic use. Another staff officer, who sat across from him, played with the ballpoint pen in his hand, writing and drawing on a blank piece of paper, as if talking to himself.

After all, it is a country that mainly started from business, and its relations with other countries are also very important. ”

"In other words, we can do something about this, right, if our people intervene at this time......"

"But if this is the case, if we take the initiative to intervene and attract the attention of the other party, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it at that time, after all, the other party still holds the number one chamber of commerce in the whole continent......"

"But you see, not all of these chambers of commerce are in the hands of the Mandath family, if you think so, it's just a chance......"

A dozen or so staff officers in several cargo boxes began to try to analyze Mandas's words from various angles, although they didn't know if they could be effective, but the microphone in front of each of them dutifully collected all their words, and someone would organize them into a book after the meeting.

"Since you've said that, sissy, I'll be honest too. ”

In the conference room on the other side, Di Man, who had just finished eating the fruit, wiped his hand on the tablecloth with a big grin, and said: "During this period of time, the group of orcs and demons have also made a lot of trouble, which has made us anxious, and the consumption on our side is very serious during this period of time." ”

As he spoke, he shook his head vigorously as if he was in great distress, and then said very slowly as if he hadn't heard what Mandath had said before: "So what I mean is actually very simple, our request is to triple the original support materials, and that's it. ”
