Chapter 649: A Special Measure of Normalization
The vehicles used by Phoebe and Lee were based on BMW's mass-produced four-wheel drive off-road vehicles, which were modified and adjusted from the engine to the aerodynamic structure under Phoebe's leadership, while the Dakar Rally car grouping was divided according to FIA rules, so they were divided into the T2 group. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When the T2 group was unveiled as a whole on the 27th, they were very far behind the queue with the car number 379, but many people were very impressed by the two people in this group.
One reason is that both girls are too young and have a good image, especially the younger Phoebe.
Another reason is that when the T2 class group was unveiled, the Dakar Rally Organizing Committee also arranged a short performance, a girl jumping up and running a song lyrics that are very meaningful and the tune is also very good, which makes many people feel very appropriate, after all, the Dakar Rally held in South America for the first time is indeed a new world.
Another reason is that a group of Asian reporters surrounded the two girls in the 379 car group all day, making everyone almost face the reporters' interested, but obviously ill-intentioned inquiries afterwards.
Many people are not surprised that Phoebe and Li Yunxin participated, after all, most of the participants in the Dakar Rally are not professional drivers, and the main purpose of this competition is also for many amateur drivers, so Phoebe participates in the competition as an artist, many people do not think it is strange, of course, this is only for European and American artists.
However, the crowd also has some respect for Phoebe, an artist who has never heard of before, after all, Phoebe seems to have a good image, and the Dakar Rally is not light on the skin, and she can keep her promise to her friend, that is, Lee Yoon-xin, to compete, which in itself is very much in line with everyone's values - people who pay attention to commitment are indeed easy to appreciate.
After the introduction of the staff of the logistics support team of the 379 car group, many people also knew that the older Li Yunxin came to participate in the rally in order to resist his father's interference in marriage, which made some people have a good impression of the 379 car group, and sincerely wished that they could complete the whole race, even before the start of the race, because of this incident, the 379 car group was a little red, and there was a cheerleading team dedicated to supporting them.
But at this time, no one thought that the two of them could achieve good results.
After sending off her sisters, Phoebe has not been idle, there are too many things to prepare for the competition, and in addition to the competition, Phoebe has other things to pay attention to, for example, Barbara, who is about to go to the South Atlantic to preside over the underwater ultrasonic weapons test, came to Phoebe and said such a thing: "Didn't you arrange for our people to go to various parts of Eastern Europe to search for the bones of World War II soldiers buried on the spot, and the people came back with a batch and brought back nearly a thousand bones." ”
Phoebe was checking the spare tire she had brought with a few of Titan's logistic technicians, and when she heard Barbara's words, she replied, "I know this, you don't mean to say that some neo-Nazi groups are trying to stop us, do you? ”
Several logistic technicians nodded, and Phoebe's announced orders in Titan were accessible to all.
Barbara shook her head and said: "It's not their business, when you asked our people to search for the remains in various parts of Eastern Europe, didn't you say that all the remains found should be treated well? We sent back more than 30 bodies belonging to the Nordic countries, and Poland has objections to the ownership of these remains, and they have risen to the official channels to claim them." ”
Phoebe was stunned, she knew that if it was just a one-sided official claim, Barbara would not come to find her, and she would know when she was free to read the news of Asterea, so she asked, "Do they have other requirements?"
Several Titan technicians couldn't help frowning, when they went to Titan to search for the remains of World War II soldiers in Eastern Europe, Poland was the most uncooperative country.
Barbara said: "I have intelligence sources, saying that due to the dispute between Russia and Ukraine, the control of the gas pipeline transit issue has begun to escalate, and Russia is likely to close the gas supply pipeline, and the European Union is very worried about this matter, Poland is in the large buffer zone of Eastern Europe, and it must make a statement, so the Polish government began to intervene in the return of the remains of World War II soldiers that we found in its territory, in order to attack the authority of the Russian government." ”
A few Titan were stunned, didn't Barbara just say the remains of soldiers from Nordic countries, why did they have anything to do with Russia again?
Phoebe nodded and said in silence: "In other words, the questioning of the remains of soldiers from Nordic countries is mainly for the sake of building momentum in the early stage?"
Barbara glanced at the other people, then nodded and said: "Langley also knows that we have been doing this for more than half a year, and they want us to cooperate with the Polish side to transport back to Poland more than 30 remains that are being sent to Nordic countries, and then the Nordic countries will speak out, and then we will also transport more than 100 remains sent to Russia back to Poland." ”
Several of Titan's technicians suddenly felt a little crying and laughing, but they also felt a little angry, and one of them asked, "What about the ones we shipped back to Germany?"
Barbara asked for the head and said: "It's okay for the time being, the EU top level actually doesn't want to use this plan, and the German government is even more so, so the German side is not affected, but if the situation changes, it's hard to say." ”
Phoebe nodded again and asked, "I'm afraid this matter will cause trouble for our search for the remains of soldiers in Eastern Europe and Russia." The key is that this matter cannot be made with much fanfare, I don't want Titan to always leak out in the public eye, our principle is to keep our heads down and do the right thing, no matter what others think. ”
When the technicians heard Phoebe's words, they all nodded silently, and then everyone looked at Barbara together.
Barbara shrugged her shoulders and said: "To be honest, the media in the EU region are not very likely to report on our affairs, after all, the topic of the SS soldiers' memorial is still quite embarrassing to the West German gang, but the Russians seem to have changed their attitude towards us since the last time they visited the SS soldiers' memorial. ”
Several technicians nodded again, the Titan nine are all from the former East Germany, but they don't like Russians either, among the three groups of people who questioned the SS soldiers' memorial last time, one group is Israelis, one group is Russians, and of course, one group is dominated by the EU media, mainly West Germans, but they are not like the former Israelis and Russians, after they came to see it, they did not report it at all. This naturally aroused the resentment of Titans, including those of neo-Nazi groups, and there are reasons why Titan's style of conduct is far from that of neo-Nazi groups, but it is regarded as its own by neo-Nazi groups.
And just like Phoebe said, Titan has been bowing its head to do the right thing, at least investing a lot of manpower and material resources to search for the remains of soldiers in Eastern Europe and bring them home, but the German government has really not done it well.
Of course, Titan is not only searching for the remains of German soldiers, if it encounters the remains of soldiers of belligerent countries or client states, it will also conduct high-tech identification, and then return them to the relevant families or countries, so for this reason alone, Titan is standing on the moral high ground.
Of course, for some reason, the European media will not make a big deal of this report, and Titan is happy to stop, but it is also increasingly dissatisfied with the German government and the media in the EU region, which is another reason why the Titan people have discussed a silent march in Berlin on the New Year.
It can be said that Phoebe forcibly cut off the Titan people under the nose of the German government, and formed a "new nation" step by step.
Phoebe took two steps and said: "Let's put aside the European affairs first, before Bush Jr. stepped down, prompting Southeast Asian countries to form a group of ten centered on Singapore and the Philippines, and this month the ASEAN charter has begun to take effect, in fact, at a glance, you can see that ASEAN is copying the NATO model to a certain extent, not the EU model, the United States is restless about the emergence of the European Union, and China's emergence of ASEAN also generally has this meaning." To be honest, the nature of the two blocs is very similar, but the problem is that the Chinese's response is different from that of the Russians, and they will not choose direct confrontation. ”
Including Barbara, several people around Phoebe were all confused, and it was good to say that the Russians were involved in the Chinese and ASEAN, but they also knew that Phoebe would definitely give an explanation, and sure enough, Phoebe continued: "Although Langley wants us to cooperate with Poland's actions, only on the surface, Langley is asking us to cooperate with the EU, but in fact we all know that Langley does not want the EU to become strong, otherwise the United States will be in an absolutely disadvantageous position in the struggle for the leadership of NATO." ”
Everyone nodded, and through the large amount of factual evidence given by Asterea, the Titan people had a clear understanding of this matter.
Phoebe said: "Look at the member states of ASEAN, Japan has been excluded, you must know that part of Japan is in Southeast Asia, why is this happening? Because the United States does not want another disobedient alliance to appear, and if the Japanese join ASEAN, it will obviously make the core leadership of ASEAN usurped by Japan, and then it will be another EU that will not lose its tail." ”
Everyone nodded again, the logic was easy to understand.
Phoebe continued: "So, Poland's request, on the surface, is Langley's request for us to cooperate with the EU, but in fact, Langley did not have the intention of using this to bring down the reputation of Germany, the heart of the EU, as everyone knows, the EU media has never reported on our search for the remains of World War II soldiers, and Langley also knows that our people are preparing to have a silent march, so I think Langley's original intention is to use this incident to weaken the Russians, and by the way, weaken the core of the EU, Germany." ”
A technician interjected at this time: "By the way, when we went to Western Europe and Southern Europe to search for the remains, we encountered great resistance, and if it is really as His Highness said, I am afraid that this matter will also be exposed to the media by Langley at that time." ”
Everyone nodded, and Barbara said, "So, what should we do?"
The reason why Barbara asked this is because Titan has common interests with the United States in this matter, because Titan is led by Phoebe and believes that maintaining the different values of people in various countries and not forcibly converging values is very beneficial to Titan's scientific and technological research and development path. But Titan also knows that this kind of thinking cannot be made public, and at the same time, Titan does not like to be fully exposed by the media, if Langley's path is followed, I am afraid that Titan will have to change its silent style.
Phoebe nodded, took two more steps, and said, "There is no doubt that the things that have to be done according to Langley's ideas to cooperate with the Poles are still to be done. But we can't rush ahead of this matter...... Well, on the Russian side before, didn't the remains of a large number of soldiers of the Fifth Panzer Division be found, and this incident made the Norwegians rush to the front. For so many years, the three Nordic countries have had to be tied up by the EU media because of the large number of soldiers who served in the SS during World War II, and many Norwegians did not even dare to hold a public funeral when the remains of the first soldiers were returned. Barbara, negotiate with Langley and ask them to give us a foundation in Norway, and when you face the media, say that the search for the remains of SS soldiers was led by the Norwegians, and don't mention us. In this way, Langley's purpose of attacking the EU can be smoother.
Barbara nodded, and then asked, "What about Poland?"
Phoebe said: "Poland over there...... Immediately transport the remains trapped in Poland to Kaliningrad, and another step to remind the Russians that we are also being used by the European Union. Our intentions are good, and we hope that they will not restrict our future actions because we have also searched for the remains of many Soviet soldiers, and only returned them to their families through the channels of the Russian government, after all, we have acted with great respect for the Russian government from the beginning. ”
Barbara nodded, but she didn't leave, because she knew that if she did, Langley's side wouldn't be able to explain, so Phoebe must not have finished her words.
Sure enough, Phoebe said: "Sort out the information of intelligence and military value such as underground water veins, caves, mineral deposits, vegetation, etc., which we sorted out when we searched for the remains in various parts of Russia, and give it to Langley, and they will understand what we mean." ”
Barbara was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and suddenly she reacted and said in surprise: "Did you anticipate that Langley suspected that we were secretly collecting information on this?"
Several technicians of Titan were also stunned, people's energy is limited, so although Phoebe did not hide it from the employees when she asked the Titan people to do this, there are still many employees who do not know that Titan has reopened a "terrain reconnaissance" for the whole of Europe. But those who know about it don't think it's anything, after all, Titan is just trying to get as many chips as possible, as it is now.
Phoebe smiled and nodded: "We have to plan for a rainy day for many things, in order to protect the interests of my people, I must consider many things in advance, just like this time, without these it is difficult to explain to Langley what we have done to the Russians, and you all know that the development of Titan to this day has largely benefited from the support of the American intelligence community, so we also know that if the relationship with the American intelligence community becomes tense, it will lead to the restriction of Titan's development, and we cannot afford such a blow now." ”
Several technicians nodded at this time, thinking that what Phoebe Fibi said was very right.
Barbara silently thought about it in her heart and said, "Well, it is estimated that Langley will also attach great importance to this information." Okay, I'll do it, and try to get it done before I go to Antarctica. After saying that, Barbara smiled again: "Are there any other arrangements?"
Phoebe tilted her head and thought about it for a moment, then nodded: "We threw out sincerity, but we also have to take into account that Langley has more ideas, after all, Titan is now very large, and it is difficult to ensure that Langley does not have the idea of continuing to deepen his control." Langley has to feel like we're still relying on them, and we're going to be doing a silent march in Berlin, and I've always been worried about security, because a lot of old people are going out on the streets, and in addition to our own security guards and the Berlin police who promised to increase the security force, I think Langley can do us a favor too. Barbara, when giving Langley geographic information, by the way, asked them to strengthen the monitoring of foreign intelligence forces around Berlin, saying that we are very worried about the safety of our people, and that is enough. ”
Barbara nodded, and a technician next to her said, "Your Highness, do you really want to bring fighting dogs to the streets during the Berlin parade? I think if you let the families take the dogs to the parade, I'm afraid that people from animal protection organizations will make trouble." ”
There are many people in Titan who have such concerns, but what Phoebe has told everyone before is that bringing the dog with you is more of a deterrent to those who are planning to attack the parade in silence, whether it is a neo-Nazi group or someone who is simply trying to cause trouble.
Phoebe smiled at this time and said to the technician: "I have also considered this matter, but I think the safety of our people is the most important, as for the animal protection organization, if it really attacks the parade, our dogs will not recognize them, and at most they will lose some money afterwards, and the police present are on our side, even if the law of Germany does not have the right to execute the dog that protects the owner, we will go to court with those people for every meritorious dog, even if it is a lifetime lawsuit." ”
Phoebe's words revealed a strong smell of blood, but several Titan people present, including Barbara, nodded, because under Phoebe's guidance, a consensus has gradually emerged on Titan that people other than Titan ......
In fact, this change of thinking is not surprising at all, after all, the Titan people were basically members of neo-Nazi organizations before, although they were much more peaceful and tolerant than before, but when it comes to their own interests, the Titan people will behave more crazy and united than anyone else, in other words, even if it is a dog of Titan, the rights are more ......
There is a saying: The temperament of a unit is closely related to its first commander-in-chief.
It's the same here on Titan. Essentially, Phoebe is such a guy who doesn't trust all outsiders. Of course, because of Phoebe's influence, Titan's distrust of outsiders will not show a conquest of rejection. Because Phoebe told them that the Titan had other ways to go, and that they didn't have to turn away the others. And Enceladus, under the leadership of Phoebe, has indeed taken an unusual path - for example, if we don't have our own land, then we build it ourselves, and we don't have our own resource supply channels, so we will grab resources that no one can exploit underwater and under the seabed, and even Enceladus's hidden behind-the-scenes control of Onclaude is also a cover for Titan's space program......
Neither Phoebe nor Titan has the idea of dominating the world, they have more of an idea: we are going our own way, and no one else will bother us.
Also, the transaction is because both parties can get benefits, and if the two parties do not have equal returns, Titan will neither do it, nor will it accept the loss of benefits.
As for the understanding of the concept of "benefit", under Astria's explanation, the Titan people are also different from the outside world's understanding, because many of the things Titan does, on the surface, the interests of Titan are damaged, but the Titan people do not see it that way, just like the food aid project in East Africa, Titan has gained a lot of things other than material through the entire project, such as reputation, organizational experience, training of remote delivery capabilities, management experience, etc.
That's why the people of Titan are happy in Titan, and with the help of Asteria, the network management structure is able to motivate everyone and increase the sense of participation, and give all the employees involved a sense of accomplishment, which cannot be done by handing out money...... In fact, Phoebe also knows that Titan's model is difficult to replicate in other countries and regions, because the members of neo-Nazi organizations that emerged later in the former East Germany are really special, and the means of using them must also be very special.
