Chapter 1707: Some people are happy and some are sad

Now that a clear answer has been received from the Alice Group, the Alice Group is willing to continue the discussion on the issue of cooperation between the two sides and the construction of the lunar scientific research base...... At least that's what the Japanese themselves think...... Then the next thing naturally becomes logical.

In the eyes of the Japanese, it is not terrible for the Alice Group to put forward conditions, but the terrible thing is that the Alice Group is unwilling to put forward conditions, and since their Alice Group is willing to put forward conditions, things are much easier. Although this condition is a bit harsh, it doesn't matter, as long as the Alice Group does not maliciously want to annex Japan's related industries, then things will always take a turn for the better.

Of course, along with the conditions put forward by the Alice Group, the heads of the Japanese automobile industry, who have been forced into a corner by the Alice Group for a while, also sang a sigh of relief, in their opinion, this opportunity is probably the last chance to save the Japanese automobile industry.

But all this will not be able to be carried out until after the coming year, in Zhang Lan's view, no matter how big the world is, there is no big thing about the New Year coming soon...... I have never heard of a leader of a developed country who has to continue talks with foreign leaders on issues of bilateral or multilateral concern at Christmas.

Compared with previous years, there are a lot more people who have come to the Zhang family and Alice to pay New Year's greetings this year, in addition to Ukrainian President Kuchma and Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who came to China secretly in their private capacity, there are also the heads of various industries of the Alice Group in Ukraine, but these people set off a storm in their hearts when they saw a strange figure in the Zhang family

This kind of gathering is an excellent opportunity for the senior management of Alice Group to communicate, and it is also an excellent opportunity for Alice Group to enhance its internal cohesion, but the number of people is a little larger, although the Zhang family has been prepared, but in the huge manor of the Zhang family, the guests of all people still make the empty manor on weekdays seem a little crowded.

"Are these the management of your company?" Mo Liyan gently pulled Zhang Lan's hand and asked in a low voice. Although she had long known that her boyfriend and future husband's family had an extremely large estate, when she saw these high-nosed, deep-eyed, red-skinned foreigners, the little girl still couldn't hide the shock in her heart

The girl is in her twenties, although she has been protected by Zhang Lan all these years, it does not mean that she knows nothing about the world, the Internet is a window to understand the world, and all this in front of her makes the little girl understand a lot.

"Well," the shock in Mo Liyan's eyes was naturally seen by Zhang Lan, and this guy touched his nose a little embarrassedly, "But it's nothing, these foreigners don't have real high-level leaders, and the real core high-level people are all from our own country." ”

"That's right." Mo Liyan nodded.

"You will be one of them in the future." Zhang Lan smiled and pointed to his old man, his mother, and Alice, and his group, and gestured to Mo Liyan.

The girl's face suddenly flew full of red xia Mo Liyan of course understood what this kid meant, and when you marry me, as the daughter-in-law of my Zhang family, you can naturally find your place in it.

Although the Zhang family has treated themselves like their daughters-in-law over the years, from Zhang Lan's grandparents to Zhang Lan's cousins and cousins, they all recognized Zhang Lan's fiancée, but the two are not married after all, Zhang Lan is of course a little shy like this girl, and originally wanted to say, "Who wants to marry you?" But when this sentence comes to the mouth, there is really no way to say it anyway.

Fortunately, Zhang Lan knew that this girl was thin-skinned, but she didn't "bully" this girl excessively, so she hurriedly changed the topic and asked Mo Liyan, "Uncle and aunt, are they happy working now?" ”

Mo Liyan's parents are reluctant to enter the Alice Group to work, but have been sticking to their original job, this move is not without consideration for their daughter: if they work within the Alice Group, although they make a lot of money and are considered prominent outside, they can't get rid of the fact that they work for the Zhang family, and the two feel that it is difficult for their daughter to be able to hold up her head in the Zhang family after marriage; On the contrary, even if he is to be this little people's teacher, although the income is low, but he is upright to receive a salary from the state, although the gap between the two families is still huge, but as long as the daughter is not inferior, she can proudly raise her head in front of the Zhang family at any time. ,

Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, the two politely declined the invitation of the Zhang family and continued to engage in education. Zhang Zongjun and Yang Zhi naturally understood the concerns of Liyan's mother and father, and did not force the two of them, but just said hello to Li Yumei and asked him to take care of the two of them a little in the system, and when appropriate, they could be promoted by the way.

Promote Mo Liyan's father and mother? What a big deal this is, not to mention that even if Zhang Zongjun doesn't greet Li Yumei, those officials in the government are naturally not stupid, since Mo Liyan's parents are already the Zhang family's in-laws, then let the Zhang family's in-laws be an ordinary teacher, that is, nakedly slapping the Zhang family's face: The Zhang family's in-laws, how can they be so lazy?

Not to mention that Zhang Lan's godmother Li Yumei is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, adjusting the work of a public teacher, and there is no need to even say anything, the people below have already been properly handled.

So as early as five years ago, Mo Liyan's parents had become full-time teachers in the county No. 1 Middle School, and they became the director and vice principal of the Academic Affairs Office respectively, and later they were transferred to work in the Municipal Education Bureau, completely becoming government officials in the system, and now they have become a director of the Provincial Department of Education.

Although now, there is not much room for the two to continue to rise, after all, it is one thing to take care of the face of the Zhang family, but it is impossible to be too outrageous, and in the end the two of them probably stopped at the position of the director or deputy director of the Provincial Department of Education, but in the Provincial Department of Education, everyone respects, especially the director of the Provincial Department of Education. Even regarded these two people as the treasures of all evils for him, he knew very well that as long as he coaxed these two to be happy, his future career would not be smooth sailing?

Although the official positions of Liyan's mother and father are not high, they can be regarded as a middle-level official in a system, and many officials who are mixed in the system, but until the time of retirement, they have not even been mixed with a substantive deputy department, and now the two are only in their forties, and it is unimaginable that they will go from a small people's teacher to a substantive deputy department in five years

Despite this, by now, Liyan's mother and father have been satisfied, and the current identity and status of their own family are not considered "getting married", but Liyan's mother and father are now in the provincial capital, and Zhang Lan will naturally have fewer days to meet his teacher, and Mo Liyan, who is going to school outside, will naturally have a lot fewer days to meet his mother.

"Well, they're fine," Mo Liyan was reminded by Zhang Lan's words to miss his parents, nodded, and said softly to Zhang Lan. Suddenly remembering something, the little girl grabbed Zhang Lan's hand, seemed to be a little embarrassed, and whispered to Zhang Lan, "By the way, my mother asked me to ask you, when will you come to our house after the New Year?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Lan scratched her head, thought about it, and had a plan in her heart, "The first and second days of the Lunar New Year are to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in the family, and the whole family has to go to grandma's house on the third day of the junior high school, so how about the fourth day of the junior high school?" ”

"Really? You don't lie to me? Hearing Zhang Lan's dazzling eyes, Mo Liyan's eyes suddenly released two bright lights

On the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, he visited the elders and peers of the family, and the daughter who had married in the third year of junior high school returned to her parents' house, which was a rule passed down by the older generation, originally Mo Liyan thought that Zhang Lan's family could arrive at their own house on the sixth or seventh day of the junior high school, but he didn't think that he was directly arranged by Zhang Lan to the fourth day of the junior high school Mo Liyan's head was naturally not stupid, and he instantly understood the meaning of Zhang Lan's move

"Such a big thing, I lied to you, you still have to fight with me?" Zhang Lan laughed.

"Count your acquaintances" The little girl peeked at Zhang Lan shyly and happily, and lowered her head shyly and timidly, and her heart was filled with great happiness and sweetness

However, Zhang Lan felt that her back was suddenly cold, and she couldn't help but wonder: Hell, the clothes on her body are not too small, why do you still feel cold? What the hell is going on?

Zhang Lan was puzzled, but she didn't notice at all that Xiao Chenxi and Alice and other little girls who were smiling with their parents almost crushed their silver teeth

Today is a special day, although I saw Mo Liyan and Zhang Lanqi, Mo Liyan and Xiao Chenxi and a few little girls with sour hearts, but a few little girls understood that this was not the time to be entangled in this kind of thing with Zhang Lan, but ...... A few little girls looked at Zhang Lan, who was chatting and laughing with Mo Liyan, and couldn't help gritting their teeth: Boy, you wait, when today's matter is over, the old lady will come to you to settle accounts,

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The Chinese New Year has completely filled the Chinese cultural circle and the Asian cultural circle in China and even the whole world in a sea of joy, but Iraqis and Afghans have not felt joy and happiness at all, and the whole of Iraq and Afghanistan is now shrouded in a bleak wind and rain.

The Americans played a huge role in the economic blockade of Iraqis and Afghans

Since the beginning of the year, the Americans have imposed a complete blockade on Iraq, and although the Iraqis have huge oil resources in their hands, they have no way to exchange the oil in their hands for what they need, especially what is necessary for human survival every day: food

In the nearly one-and-a-half-year war in Iraq since the United States imposed an economic blockade on Iraq, although it has brought huge casualties to the Americans and led to the growing anti-war sentiment in the Americans, there is one fact that cannot be erased: there have been serious problems with the food supply of the Iraqis

After all, no matter how powerful Saddam Hussein is, he cannot afford to give food to his own people, and naturally he cannot let his soldiers go hungry to fight.

Naturally, the Americans will not miss this opportunity, and the Americans, who have never had to worry about the supply of materials, have put forward a naked temptation to the Iraqis, especially the Iraqi civilians, the grassroots soldiers, and the grassroots workers of the government: As long as you are willing to serve the democratic and free United States of America, the great, democratic and free United States of America will ensure that you will be able to eat your stomach.

On the one hand, there may not be anything to eat every day, and the other is to eat and drink well every day, for ordinary civilians, how to choose, there are basically not too many questions, although because of the problem of faith, there are still only a very small number of Iraqis who are willing to serve as "freedom fighters" for the Americans, but the Americans actually rely on this trick to develop a large number of "freedom fighters" in the Iraqi people and government, and then take these "freedom fighters" as a point, and gradually drive these "freedom fighters" The people around him have gathered under the American flag and military flag, and they have even set off a considerable wave in Iraq

At this time, Bush Jr. was in a very good mood, and he even saw the hope of using grain to hit the Iraqis and Saddam

Compared to Iraq, the situation of Afghans is slightly better.

Before Saddam Hussein did not go to war with Bush Sr., that is, before the Gulf War, the Iraqis lived a very comfortable life, and the Iraqis at that time relied on oil exports, and the per capita national income level was even higher than that of the Middle Eastern countries at that time.

But compared to Iraq, Afghanistan has never been richer, and even the war has never stopped on this land: the British in World War II were fighting this land, and later the Soviets were fighting on this land, and now, it is the turn of the Americans. For Iraq, the Americans have also imposed a blockade and embargo on them, but for Afghanistan, which basically has no modern industry and can even be said to be stuck in the semi-slave and semi-feudal era, this blockade is actually nothing, and they are barren and have been like this for thousands of years.

So although life is not easy, but the Afghans do not have so many "freedom fighters" like the Iraqis, on the contrary, because the Americans' military operations in Afghanistan are becoming more and more unsmooth, and in many military operations, the European and American militaries led by the United States naturally have no good face for the Afghans, which is that those pro-American forces that were originally somewhat inclined to the US military do not dare to lean too much on the Americans: the roots and foundation of these people are in Afghanistan after all, Although they are the so-called aristocracy of Afghanistan, if their actions are perceived by those they rule as betraying Allah and Allah's teachings, they will be unceremoniously killed

The upper echelons of Afghanistan are convinced of this

So now, Saddam's gray hair has increased a lot, and militarily he is not worried for the time being, with the deterrence of that mysterious virus, the Americans do not dare to take big military actions for the time being, but he urgently needs to solve the problem of food supply to cope with the economic blockade of the Americans. If this problem cannot be solved quickly, Saddam Hussein knows very well that there will be a big problem with his rule.

How can we resolve the current crisis of our own domination? Saddam Hussein pondered this question for a long time, and after thinking about all possible solutions one by one, Saddam Hussein painfully found that he finally had to pin the final solution to the problem on the miraculous Mr. Will and the mysterious forces behind him.

"Help me contact Mr. Will." Saddam Hussein said weakly to his confidential secretary that this time, I don't know what Iraq will have to pay for this.

However, Saddam's eyes were immediately firm: Compared with the greedy Americans, who were determined to put themselves to death, even if they wanted to sell Iraq, he would sell Iraq to someone he liked and admired

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Unlike Saddam, who was mired in a food crisis, Saddam's brother, the terror tycoon Ben. Osama bin Laden's small life was very leisurely.

Since he handed over to Uncle Ben the 16-character guerrilla warfare motto that came from the ancient Orient during World War II, which is the essence of guerrilla warfare from the ancient East, "the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy enters and I pursue," Uncle Ben has taken advantage of Afghanistan's inherently suitable geographical environment for guerrilla warfare to inflict huge casualties on the US-Britain, France-Italy-Germany coalition forces

And among these American GIs who died, there were more than 3 people who were inexplicably * killed in a non-war state, and they were still confused when they died

But in the face of the elusive Afghan guerrillas, the Americans had no way to deal with it

Faced with the death toll from the battlefield in Afghanistan, Bush Jr., who had just received a little relief from the battlefield in Iraq, angrily slammed his glass again

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Saddam, the unlucky bastard, asked you for help again?" Looking at Will sitting in front of him, Zhang Lan asked with a smile.

"Yes." Will nodded respectfully.

"Now Iraq, there is no need to worry about military problems," Zhang Lan thought for a while, "For a while, the international and domestic media have been reporting that Iraq is now in a food crisis...... Is it for the food problem? ”

"Young Master's Wisdom"

Before he could speak, the young master already knew what he was doing? Will glanced at Zhang Lan in admiration and bowed his head respectfully.
