When completed, the Atlantic Floaters will have four airfields, three of which will be fully military, and the first one to be built will be used for civilian and non-wartime personnel transportation. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
On the third day after Phoebe and Barbara arrived on the floating island, both Barbara and Ebrun arrived at Airport 1 to pick up someone, who was Embron's own sister, Barbara also called Mira, the eldest sister.
As mentioned earlier, Mira previously served on the Senate Middle East Strategy Committee and later resigned at the suggestion of Phoebe, but she sought positions in several areas of Phoebe's advice and instead went on vacation to Australia.
When Barbara called her and made a new suggestion, Mira suddenly noticed that Phoebe had a major change in the way she did things, she was very clear of the youngest sister in the family is usually a very low-key person, if you want to promote China's construction in the Middle East and Africa, this matter is obviously very big, and the most important thing is that Phoebe is violating some unspoken rules in the circle, so Mira, who has a very keen sense of smell, immediately decided to come to see Phoebe and ask her what she thinks after listening to Barbara's wordsγ
Mira knew before that the IQ of this adopted Chinese and Korean mixed-race girl was probably the highest in the family, not to mention anything else, just by looking at how she could obtain such a high level of secrecy by herself, and by the way, she pushed Eblon to a position that was highly valued in diplomatic, military and political circles, and she still underestimated Phoebe before.
As for Phoebe's promotion of the relationship between Ebron and Barbara, she also knows, which is not surprising in the circle, in fact, the principle of marriage in the entire circle, unless it is a descendant who has no intention of joining the political circle, otherwise the general marriage problem will be solved in the circle or a nearby circle, such as the circle of the Navy or the Air Force.
Mira figured out one thing in Thailand, Phoebe suggested that the timing of her withdrawal from the committee was simply too good, on the one hand, the two-party race was in the heat of the race, although her position was not high, but it was indeed in the sight of some people, it was difficult to say that it was not affected by the election campaign, on the other hand, she also noticed that the plan to attract extremists in the Middle East was carried out, and the forces that had been added to it had added too many things that affected the direction of the plan, and if something went wrong and she was still in that position, then she would definitely bear the bruntγ οΌ
Mira was on a private jet sponsored by a "friend", and when she got out of the plane, she took a look and saw that Phoebe was not coming, but that Ebrun, who was not very good in the eyes of everyone, including Phoebe, and her girlfriend, Barbara, were waiting for her.
Mira first waved to the two, then turned to say hello, and saw a white man also appear through the hatch, and the two got off the plane together. Seeing the white man, Ebron was visibly stunned, and Barbara was also surprised.
After greeting Mira, Ebron said to the man with a smile and a smile: "This world is so small. β
"Hi Ebron, and Barbara. The man smiled and nodded.
Barbara asked with some surprise, "Sister, are you going to Australia with him?"
Mira nodded and said: "When I went, I felt that it was not interesting to just play by myself, and no one accompanied me after asking around, so I had to go by myself, but I unexpectedly met Chloe at the airport, and this is how things were." β
Ebrun was actually a very careful person, pointing to Mila and wearing the ring and saying, "You have a private agreement in Australia for life?
Mira raised her left hand and showed the ring to Emblon and Barbara, and said, "Well, this can be considered an accident. β
"Hey~ I'm still here!" Chloe grumbled dissatisfied, reaching out and wrapping her arms around Mira's shoulders.
As a result, the interaction between the two surprised Barbara and Ebrun even more, and then Ebrun said with a bitter face: "You don't know, did I chase Barbara first?"
Mira shrugged off Ebron's displeasure and said, "Little one, you're going to be an uncle in eight months, do you think I can wait?"
"......" Ebron and Barbara were stunned again, and then Ebron smiled bitterly: "Okay, the matter between me and Barbara can wait and talk." β
Mira smiled at Barbara again and said, "Barbara, I'm really sorry this time, I said, it was really an accident." β
"Hey, you can't say that about our kids. Chloe grumbled again.
Barbara shrugged and said, "It's nothing, congratulations, and, brother." β
That's right, Chloe is Barbara's second brother, which means that the two families are now afraid that they will be ridiculed for exchanging marriages because of this matter.
Barbara smiled again: "Actually, I also think that in fact, Ebron should grow up for another year or two, and we are not in a hurry." β
Chloe smiled apologetically at Barbara and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Barbara. β
Barbara waved her hand and said: "To be honest, in fact, Phoebe and I have always been worried about what kind of person Sister Mira will find to marry, now that I know it's you, Phoebe will be very happy, you know, there are not many family members she recognizes, you are one of the people who fought for her back then." β
Chloe nodded, then glanced at Mira happily, and Mila couldn't help but shake her head and said, "I found that the men of our two families always become emotional when it comes to women, I really don't know how you learned in boarding school back then." β
Barbara stepped forward and grabbed Mira's hand, and smiled as she walked towards the car, "It's good that you didn't develop any bad problems there." Then he turned to Ebron, who was still in a daze, and said, "Ebron, let's go, do you want us two women to drive, after all, you are the owner of the floating island." β
"Ahh......h Chloe, sorry, I just was shocked...... Well, come with me, it's good for you to come...... Hehe. β
"Thank you, Ebron. β
When the four of them were in the car, Ebron was still a little relieved, so Barbara said that he should pay attention to safety a few times, but Chloe smiled: "Ebron is actually very good like this, it shows that he loves you very much, Barbara, to be honest, I think this is very good." β
After Chloe's remarks, it calmed Ebrun, to be precise, he was still a little happy, because Chloe used to be the biggest enemy on the road to Barbara, because Chloe was much more serious than Locke, and Sister Mila could stand him-wait, could it be that Miss Mila knew that I was worried about Chloe, so she volunteered to die......
Ebrun was thinking about it while introducing the two guests to something about the floating island, which Mira didn't seem interested in, but Chloe looked very serious.
The two men in the front row were chatting, and the two women in the back row were also chatting about theirs.
"How's Phoebe doing?"
"Again, guarded everywhere, you see, if I didn't wear this marker, she wouldn't even talk to me. β
Mira nodded, glanced at the orange logo gem on Embron's shoulder, which was similar to Barbara's, and said, "Indeed, she has suffered a lot in this area since she was a child. After speaking, he took out a black logo of the same style from his pocket and asked, "I'll wear it now?"
Barbara shrugged her shoulders and said, "I know you're not used to it, I've had this feeling before, like ruining fashion or something." But it's good to get used to it.,You know that all the people in Titan have to stay like this.,As a result, now it's become an alternative without wearing a marker.,The people of Titan are also used to treating the person who wears this as their own person.,Be wary of those who don't bring it.γ β
"I think it's nice to have someone else wear this, big sister, it's the same as when you wear a nameplate when you work on the committee, but we change the form. β
Chloe also turned around and said, "But what if I don't have this?"
Barbara explained, "I didn't know you were coming, and because you were in the Secret Service, Phoebe said she couldn't trouble you, so she didn't contact you." By the way, when I chose Ebron's bodyguard before, I also excluded your name. β
Taking advantage of Chloe's gaze to look behind him, Eblon raised his hand and gave a thumbs up to Barbara in the rearview mirror, which probably means: Daughter-in-law did a good job! Otherwise, let your brother be my bodyguard, how can I chase you?
Barbara ignored him, and Mira saw Ebrun's movements, but she ignored him either, this little brother has been naughty since he was a child, and he is honest when he is anxious.
Chloe turned her head to look at Ebrun and said, "Do you want me to protect him?"
Ebron quickly shook his head.
Mira waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't scare him, it's not that you don't know, he's afraid of you." β
Ebron didn't need to be taught, and nodded again and again.
Barbara changed the subject and said: "Actually, Phoebe made this for everyone she thinks should have a marker, but she can't find any good time to send it, after all, she doesn't usually use this at all, and wearing this not only conflicts with the sense of fashion, but also lets the outside world know the relationship between the wearer and Titan, so Phoebe didn't do it." But now it's okay, because of the Atlantic Floaters, so you can say that this is an identity that must be worn on the floating island, well, yes, there is a check chip here. β
"Don't the people of Titan think it's an invasion of privacy?" Chloe wondered.
Barbara shook her head and said: "The chip was developed by Titan, and there is only one function, no other additional functions, so everyone thinks that compared with the mediocre nameplate card, this makes Titan unique, so everyone accepts it." β
Ebron interjected, "It's the same with Unclud's side. Many people complained because they only had orange options, but Titan only gave Onclaude orange, and said that the Atlantic Floaters were a ship, and of course they had to have different color markers or something for different jobs. β
Speaking of this, Eblon couldn't help but turn back to Barbara and say, "You guys are too domineering!"
"Drive honestly!" Chloe immediately put her hand on the top of Ebrun's head and turned his head back.
"Oh......" Ebrun was used to being hit as a child.
Mira said at this time: "Okay, this is nothing, you said before that Phoebe sees that the new president will adopt an offensive strategy, so we have to carry out a large-scale strategic adjustment, what's going on?"
Barbara glanced at Kruid, and Kruid still looked back, and deliberately pointed at Mira's stomach with his finger, so Barbara realized something, nodded, and said: "It's basically what I told you on the phone, you know, she has been very smart since she was a child, and I also digested what she said for a long time before I fully understood the cause and effect." β
Mira nodded and said, "I'm just like you, but it's obviously a challenge to some of the established rules of the entire diplomatic circle, and even cause a split in the circle because of what she's going to do, which isn't a good thing." Of course, my interpretation of China is very valuable for reference. β
"As I said on the phone, Phoebe thinks it's not like no one in this circle of thought has ever thought of it, so we don't have to say it at all, just let Langley operate through relationships in the Middle East and Africa. β
Chloe interjected, "Is China really doing well? I mean, except for BJ and SH?"
Barbara nodded and said, "Of course, Phoebe and I went to China twice this year, and each time we went to other cities to see it, and it was really well built." Most notably, they began to operate a high-speed rail system with speeds of up to 300 kilometers per hour, which is faster than some of the air feeder lines. β
Chloe shook her head and said, "You're going to advertise this?"
And Barbara glanced at Mira, and Mila smiled apologetically: "I didn't know what you were going to say when you called, it just so happened that I had just checked out that I was pregnant, so I wanted to discuss it with you, so I called him to my side, but when you said it, I patronized and understood what you said, and I didn't expect to stop you......"
And Chloe shrugged her shoulders and said: "Anyway, I am also from the Secret Service, I know the confidential matter, and the matter you are discussing is likely to affect the two of us, so I think since I heard it, then I should also have the right to speak." β
Ebrun interjected again: "I have it too, after all, I am the president of Unclaud, and I am at the forefront. β
Chloe said to Ebron, "If Phoebe wants to promote the Atlantic Floaters in the Middle East, then you do have a say, but apparently she didn't plan to do so. β
Ebrun snorted and said, "Then you're on my chassis now, that's right?"
"Concentrate on driving!" said Mira.
"Oh......," Alan commanded.
Mila said: "Cruid, the question you asked is obvious and simple, Barbara said that she and Phoebe went to China twice and saw a lot of other cities in China, so I went in the right direction, not to mention anything else, trains that are faster than some airplanes have a great attraction for ordinary people, you must know that when you take a plane, you can only see the blue sky and white clouds, but taking a train is different, so this promotional point is really good." is worthy of being experienced in the entertainment industry. β
"Don't mention the entertainment industry, Phoebe is not an experience at all, but plans to do a career in the entertainment industry, you should have heard that she also cooperated with Chinese to make movies." Barbara said, then shrugged her shoulders again: "Anyway, I've started to push this matter, although the new president has just been to Langley, which makes the persuasion work a little troublesome, but Langley's top management is still quite interested in this plan, and they think that through this plan, it will be easier to plant eyeliner in China." As for the long-term benefits of Phoebe's plan, we didn't tell Langley, because there were no large-scale refugees yet. β
Mira nodded and said: "Sometimes I have to say that Phoebe's ideas are always eye-catching, I actually came to her to ask, do I still have to find a job in the Senate, not only do you see the strategy that the new president will choose, I also think so, so I am a little hesitant to enter the senator to find a committee to work." β
Barbara nodded and said: "Phoebe didn't say anything about this, but she asked me to call my father and let me say that seeking a job in China does not have to be staring at a big city like BJSH, she judged that this is a long-term investment, choose some unknown Chinese cities, accumulate contacts in China and the goodwill of Chinese towards us, which is a long-term benefit for the family." In fact, the economic circle has long felt the vigorous vitality of China, and they acted much earlier than us. β
Mira nodded, glanced at Chloe again, and said, "The point is that Chloe's identity is a bit troublesome, I mean, if I also seek a place in China." β
Barbara also nodded slowly, and then said thoughtfully: "Actually, I asked Phoebe, she thinks that Locke's choice is at least for the future of the family, and it is very constructive, and the second brother chooses to go to the Secret Service, well, she means that going there is purely to eat and wait for death......"
Barbara showed a pitiful expression as she spoke, which made the depressed Chloe a little confused, and simply patted Ebron on the shoulder, but Ebron smiled bitterly: "Obviously Phoebe said it, why did you hit me?"
"Who told you not to discipline your sister well. β
"That's what your sister relayed to you, since it's the evaluation behind Phoebe, she shouldn't have relayed it. β
"Aren't you chasing Barbara? Of course you're responsible for her mistakes, and you're still not a man?"
ββ¦β¦ Whew, why do you bully me every time we meet...... Sister, I don't agree with you marrying him. β
"Chloe, my brother graduated from West Point, he should have some foundation in martial arts, I'm pregnant again now, I guess I won't be able to teach him a lesson in the future, you can help you later." β
"Well, don't worry. β
"Barbara, you can help me say something!"
"Brother, don't punch your face when you beat him, he has to attend a very important meeting tomorrow. β
"Well, don't worry, I've got it. β
"Woo......"
And Mira fanned the flames again: "Come on, Ebron, don't forget a tradition in the circle, if a girl from someone's family is pursued, the man of this family will stand up and teach the suitor a lesson, and your sister and your nephew will cheer you on." β
Barbara couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "Yes, brother, you have a good fight with Ebron, he used to always say that you bully the small, but now you are almost the same, just let him see, the province doesn't like to bring bodyguards every time outside." β
Chloe nodded, then remembered that Eblon still had bodyguards from the Secret Service, and asked, "By the way, where are the bodyguards?" β
Ebron gave him a blank look and said, "Can't you know more about things before asking? Everyone knows that the Atlantic Floaters refuse to allow anyone who is not invited to the island, where is the security problem, you must know that there are two detachments patrolling outside." β
Chloe shook her head and said, "I'm not worried about security, but I want to know who your bodyguard is, maybe I know him." Just rush this, I'll have to clean you up in a moment. β
Mira and Barbara both laughed when they heard this, and Ebron blushed a little and muttered, "Who knows what you think." β
Mira shook her head and said, "Ebron, you've done everything else well, but Barbara is right, you have to grow a little more." β
Then he turned to Barbara and said, "It's Phoebe, if I really don't dare to let Ebron be the president of this Unclave." β
Barbara shrugged her shoulders and said, "I didn't understand why Phoebe pushed him at first, but I think that although Ebrun has shortcomings, he has done a good job in many things. β
Mira nodded a little smugly: "That's right." But she saw through the rearview mirror that Ebrun was grimacing at her, and Mira, who was going to help Ebrun ask Chloe to release water, resisted the thought.
The only man in the younger generation of the family, he still needs to be sharpened, I really don't understand, why didn't Phoebe wait for a few years in the army to be in the army before pushing him to the forefront......
