On 91, Barbara was frowning and checking the text on the computer, still holding a pen in her hand to write down what Diǎn, at this time she was wearing a pair of gold-trimmed glasses, and the temples looked like expensive tortoiseshell glasses.

Phoebe sat on the carpet by the couch not far from Barbara, Mino, leaning on her legs, head resting on her knees, and Dhaka being held in Phoebe's lap, who was massaging her two puppies.

Dhaka was obviously pleased with the effect of the massage, his trimmed tail was wagging and his eyes were half-narrowed, and Mino's was obviously looking forward to this benefit, making a non-stop "whoosh" sound as if urging Phoebe to take his turn.

After Barbara looked at the text for a while, she shook the pen in her hand and said to Phoebe: " Phoebe, the situation in Africa is much worse than we expected, there was even a slight riot when the first batch of aid food arrived, and now in addition to the government forces on the periphery of the two receiving camps in Rwanda, there are often opposition forces waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack, which makes our plan to carry out low-risk areas on duty to treat PS deviate from the original expectation, although many people have temporarily suppressed PS symptoms because of this external stimulus, but I think it is likely to usher in a stricter PS table afterwards. ”

Phoebe continued to rub Dhaka's heart, lungs and back muscles as she said, " It doesn't matter, this matter is left to the Pentagon, anyway, they were kicked out of East Africa before, and now they finally have an excuse to re-enter, they will be more anxious than us, in fact, there are only two problems we face, one is to expand the frequency and quantity of food aid, and the second is the psychological counseling of the police officers who went with the team, those veterans who have had PS before are just more severe symptoms, and if these police officers go home a year and a half later if they also have PS, then our project is really over。 ”

Barbara diǎn diǎn diǎn head, wrote down Phoebe's words, then took off her glasses and leaned back on the sofa and said: "Due to the partial operation of the Detroit food factory, we have absorbed the overproduction of most of the northern grain and animal husbandry states and counties, and now the problem is that our raw materials are strictly squeezed, and the production capacity cannot keep up. In addition, due to the economic crisis, many farmers went bankrupt, and our project became the only possibility to save them. So we also face another problem, that ≯☆dǐng ≯☆ diǎn ≯☆ small ≯☆ say, .2 ▼ 3. ● os_ (); It's about 200,000 farmers who are about to go bankrupt who see our industry as a savior and want the Detroit factory to expand the number of purchases as much as possible, and because of these people, the state governments all over the United States have come to the door and want us to build a new production base in the local area, which is a bit troublesome, especially since you and I have the label of the Republican Party, and the relationship between the Republican Party and the farmers has always been good, so we are under a lot of pressure, and the Democratic Party obviously wants to seek more traditional votes through this matter, so things become very troublesome, although you are not yet 18 years old this year, but this matter will force us to decide the future inclination, which is the most troublesome。 ”

Obviously, giving the two puppies a massage now is more important than caring about whether the farmers are bankrupt, so Phoebe just diǎn diǎn head, reaching out to hug Dhaka, who was a little reluctant to end the massage, to the side, while Mino ran to Phoebe's lap with his eyes wide open and happily, and lay down as Dhaka had just done, while Dhaka crawled over from the place where he landed pitifully, facing Phoebe with a pitiful look.

Phoebe didn't immediately massage Mino, but took out a box the size of a tennis ball tube from the sofa behind her, opened the lid and poured out a colorless ball, which reached Dhaka's nose, Dhaka knew that Phoebe's decision could never be questioned, and reluctantly opened his mouth to bite the ball, and then began to bite it tastelessly.

When Phoebe did this, she said to Barbara: "We are not a real welfare organization, and there will be no new production base in the Americas until the Detroit factory is completely completed, but I have heard that farmers in Europe have been protesting against the price of agricultural products recently, but European integration has made the exchange of products between EU countries much easier than in the past, so we can still find a place with a lot of fresh water resources to build a production base." ”

Barbara was stunned and said, "Europe?"

Phoebe said while massaging Mino's heart, lungs and back muscles: "That's right, Europe. ”

Barbara was interested: "France is the largest producer of agricultural products in the European Union, and you want to extend your hand to France this time?"

Phoebe was still massaging the dog, and said without raising her head: "No, France is good, but I don't think that in the face of protests from environmentalists or other similar organizations, the French government will treat us as partners to work with, they are very good at shirking the responsibilities that should be shouldered, so I am still optimistic about Germany, the worst of all, our organizational ability in eastern Germany will make it less troublesome, and this matter will obviously increase the pride of the people in the east, why should outsiders be cheap?"

Barbara Diǎn Diǎn Head, although she had previously worked in the field of foreign intelligence in Eastern Europe, but she also had a deep understanding of southern and Western Europe, and she knew that France was indeed not a good choice in this matter, at least much worse than Germany.

So Barbara laughed: "No wonder you chose Germany in the first place, indeed, they have a lot of diǎn, especially when you can handle it." ”

Phoebe diǎn diǎn head, Mino was so comfortable because of being massaged at this time that he was so comfortable that he groaned, which made Dhaka's eyes quickly widen, raised his paw and pressed it on the bridge of Mino's nose, and Mino also opened his eyes because of Dhaka's reminder, and turned his head to look at Phoebe pitifully.

Barbara couldn't help but smile when she saw this scene, and Phoebe first looked sideways at Mino's eyes, and then at Dhaka, Dhaka immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Phoebe, and Mino was still pretending to be pitiful, Phoebe said: "Dhaka, I know you're protecting Mino, but you should also know that this family is very strict in punishing mistakes, and it won't be because you reminded Mino, its mistakes haven't appeared, understand?"

Dhaka barked "woo-woo-ah", but his head kept on the ground, and he seemed to have a very good attitude, and after feeling the love between the two dogs, Phoebe said: "Mino, do you know, because of you, Dhaka has made a mistake again, and the punishment it faces will be much stricter than yours, so you have to be more careful when controlling your reflexes." ”

Mino wagged his tail when he heard Phoebe's words, and after Phoebe felt his affection, he shook his head and said, "You know that I won't lower my standards because of what you promised, it's unfair to me, right?"

Mino's head hung down again, his tail tucked up, and Daka looked at Phoebe motionlessly.

Phoebe added: "Dhaka, you are smarter and more responsible than Mino, and your behavior of helping Minoan on a regular basis is indeed worthy of encouragement, but at home, in front of me, Barbara, and other people I approve of, you are likely to make things go in a direction that we don't want to see, so I still have to punish you, do you understand?"

Dhaka wagged his tail.

Phoebe diǎn diǎn head and stretched out her hand to Dhaka, this action made Mino's body stiff and even tremble a little, and Dhaka did the same, and then Phoebe bent her fingers and pressed the protruding phalanx twice on Dhaka's spine.

Barbara watched Phoebe's movements with great interest, she had always wondered how Phoebe managed to make the two dogs so obedient and at the same time so afraid of her, and Dhaka, who was pressed twice by Phoebe, did not chirp, did not move, just lay motionless, Barbara had no idea what was happening in Dhaka's body at this time.

After Phoebe Diǎn passed Dhaka, she said to Mino again: "Mino, it's your turn now, but the massage for you hasn't been done yet, I can't let you be punished and then use the massage effect to calm down the punishment you received, it's not fair to Dhaka, understand?"

Mino, visibly not happy, pulled his eyes and lowered his head a little, and then Phoebe continued to massage Mino.

Barbara watched Phoebe's interaction with the two Dobermans with great interest, and said with a smile, "How the hell did you do it, I feel like they are getting smarter and smarter, smarter than the average dog." ”

Phoebe continued to massage Mino as she said, "Of course, these two little ones are great. ”

At this time, Dhaka was still motionless as before, and he couldn't even breathe, and Mino was obviously a little absent-minded - although Phoebe's massage made it feel comfortable, it didn't dare to moan anymore.

Barbara shrugged her shoulders and continued the topic because she didn't know what was going on: " By the way, when it comes to building factories in Europe, I am also worried about one thing, when I filed my taxes a few days ago, because of the Detroit factory, the tax bureau gave you and Titan a large part of the tax reduction, plus the cooperation with the Ministry of Defense and other departments is a project involving national security, so there are other preferential treatments, but if you go to Europe to build a new factory, instead of in the United States, I am afraid that someone will come to talk to you about filing taxes, you know that the Detroit factory is not only involved in charity or rebuilding influence in Africa, and even the problem of veterans treating PS, but also involves the problem of the domestic food industry chain, which is a big problem。 ”

"When I first considered entering the primary industry chain, I knew that agriculture is the cornerstone of human society, and any industry that will promote its prosperity will be valued, especially now that modern agriculture has entered capitalized operation, agricultural production has been greatly affected by the trend of capital. The Detroit factory's products are actually reprocessing the overproduction of agriculture, and it is to find a new way out of food production after the collapse of agriculture due to the collapse of the capital market, of course, we are not the only ones who are doing this, other food processing industries are also doing similar things, but why do you think my industry is valued?"

"Well, I guess it's the expiration date and shipping?" Barbara said.

"There are factors in this regard, in the range of minus 74 degrees to minus 85 degrees, the molecular structure of semi-liquid food is extremely stable, which makes transportation very convenient, even the Ministry of Defense is waiting for our record in Africa, wanting to add this thing to the army rations, and most importantly, the adjustment of the taste of this thing is very simple. However, this is only a superficial meaning, due to the stable molecular structure, the theoretical shelf life can reach an infinite time, and the previous practical Yàn shows that anything other than digestive enzymes will not cause the structure to collapse, which makes bacteria not multiply on this thing, so it is also of good significance for food security. Phoebe said first.

Barbara diǎn diǎn head, although she knows all this, but she knows that Phoebe will not talk about things that everyone knows for no reason.

Sure enough, Phoebe continued: " This makes semi-liquid food a strategic material, but although we are Americans, no one stipulates that Americans must be completely considered by the United States, and I don't want the United States to change its attitude towards foreign countries because the United States has made progress in food security, so at least within the acceptable range, I have to let other regions also have the ability to produce semi-liquid food, and it is imperative to build factories in Germany, and it is the only one in Europe that has to be tougher when opposing certain practices of the United States. ”

Barbara disagreed, so she said, "What about Asia, and Russia?"

Phoebe shook her head: "I'm ...... about Asia I don't have much to look forward to, although it has gradually become richer with economic development, but it is only economic construction, and I have no fundamental conflict of interest with the United States, and I have only chosen Germany for the sake of checks and balances, rather than trying to force the United States to deal with us, and I think any capitalist will agree with me. ”

"Okay, my dear, you have a point, but now that at least a dozen state legislators have come to Boston in person, what do you think we should do? You also know that this year's economy is not going to be good, and every state is trying to find ways to increase jobs, and your decision is likely to make it difficult for Titan to face a lot of difficulties in the future. Barbara spread her hands helplessly.

"It's actually very simple, A can help us with this. ”

Barbara was stunned and said, "A?"

"Of course, we never applied for a license to sell semi-liquid food in the U.S. food market or in the nutraceutical market, because I didn't intend to do that in the first place, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because without A's license, our products cannot be sold in the European and American markets, and can only be used for food aid to hungry areas, which limits the scale of our business, but you know, I didn't want to make money through this project, and naturally I won't scale it up. Phoebe continued to massage Mino.

And Barbara thought for a moment and understood what Phoebe meant, and then Phoebe said: "Without a sales license, it gave us a good excuse, at least we can tell them that Titan's economic situation does not allow the construction of so many branch factories, of course, they may go to A to talk about it, but I think you have already had an agreement with A that it will not interfere with the domestic processed food market, so they can only return in vain, right?"

Phoebe smiled diǎn diǎn head, and Barbara really liked Phoebe so much that she had arranged all kinds of insurance styles for possible situations at the beginning of the plan, so she looked at Phoebe with ripples in her eyes and said, "Phoebe, you are simply great!"

Phoebe diǎn diǎn head said, "You should be relieved now, right?"

"Well, I find it so blissful to follow a boss like you. Barbara praised heartily, put the computer in her hand aside, got up and walked over, and did the same as Phoebe on the ground, picked up Dhaka, who was lying on the ground motionless, rubbed Dhaka's head, and smiled: "What's wrong with this little guy? ”

Phoebe smiled at Barbara and said, "It's being punished." ”

"Punished?" Barbara picked up Dhaka's head and looked at it, but didn't see anything unusual, and smiled, "Little one, have you been punished for ignoring me?"

Dhaka's eyes turned to Phoebe, who smiled, "Well, Barbara pleaded with you." After saying that, Phoebe reached out and pinched the side of Dhaka's neck, and Dhaka suddenly became cheerful and rubbed against Barbara's body.

Barbara laughed and rubbed Dhaka's head again, while Phoebe said to Mino, "Alright, now it's your turn." ”

Mino wanted to be coquettish, but he knew that it was useless to be coquettish with Phoebe, so he obediently spread his head on Phoebe's knee and let Phoebe's hand reach for her spine......
