Chapter 2044: First Contact
Although everyone is very puzzled why Miss Alice did this, for everyone, this question is not really very important, and it is normal for successful people to always have some quirks that others cannot understand.
The scene immediately burst into thunderous applause. Reardon apologized to Alice again and again with an apologetic face, "Miss Alice, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect it to be you......"
Yes, as the most successful conglomerate in the world, in the hearts of all people, the Alice Group developed like a fog is like a god mansion that has come out of mythology, which is dizzying, as for Alice herself, who single-handedly created the Alice Group, there is no doubt that in the hearts of many people, Alice even exceeds the weight of the President of the United States in their hearts...... In fact, in the eyes of many people who know Alice's current influence on the world, Alice's potential influence on the United States has even surpassed that of US President George W. Bush.
"It's okay," Alice smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was interested in Michael. Reardon didn't mind his rudeness, "Mr. Ambassador, don't you mind sitting with me, do you?" ”
"Of course, of course," at this moment, in the face of Alice's invitation, despite being a senior staff member of the U.S. government, Michael Murphy was a member of the U.S. government. Still flattered, Reardon said, "Miss Alice, it's my pleasure. ”
Yes, it is an honor for anyone in the world to be invited by Miss Alice.

Seymour and Lucy looked at the dark-haired girl who had become the focus of everyone's attention in a moment, and in a moment's effort, they already knew what was going on. The girl who didn't care about anyone when she first entered the door, or who was regarded as prey by many people, turned out to be the boss of Alice's group, Miss Alice.
However, Miss Alice deceived everyone by using a simple pair of contact lenses and changing her hair color.
Even as one of the CIA's most well-trained agents, at this moment, Lucy couldn't help but feel a little envious of Alice: if the princess who was surrounded by everyone was like a proud princess. How nice it would be if it was me who became the girl in the center of the crowd! …… In the minds of every girl. There is a dream of a princess, even the intelligence elite on Lucy's side who have undergone years of arduous special training, there are no exceptions.
And Wu Wenning, who originally planned to "hunt" Alice, was completely dumbfounded at this moment, when he heard the news from there. Wu Wenning's head turned into a blank with a "buzz~~"! This poor gentleman felt as if God had played a joke on himself: how could this be possible? How could that beautiful girl who doesn't talk like anything be the big boss of Alice Group?
But no matter how much Wu Wenning couldn't believe it, as the top person in charge of Alice Group in Vietnam, he is also the general secretary of Vietnam GCD and the guest of honor of the Vietnamese government. Dalglish, it's impossible to mistake his boss, this news. undoubtedly made Wu Wenning's heart even more sad.
Of course, there are not nothing to be happy about, although Wu Wenning planned to "hunt" Alice before, but he hasn't made a move yet. After all, it didn't cause any serious consequences, so thinking about it this way, it shouldn't cause any trouble to his martial arts family...... Thinking like this, Wu Wenning glanced back at Ruan Yongjin with a complicated expression: ***, Ruan Yongjin is really lucky for this guy, but then again, this guy didn't deliberately dig a pit for Lao Tzu to jump, right? If that's the case, this bastard is too shady.
As for the rest of the gentlemen. After knowing that the girl they regarded as their prey just now turned out to be the big boss of the famous Alice Group, they suddenly wanted to shrink their heads into the crotch of their pants. I was terrified to death: I don't know what kind of trouble tonight will bring to my family...... Alas. I hope I don't let my current life be affected.
For these gentlemen who have nothing to do all day long, and have no lofty ambitions, it is their greatest wish to be able to maintain their luxurious ** life every day, once all this they enjoy now is deprived, everyone is really worse than death, fortunately, for the time being, Alice does not seem to have any intention of retaliating against the big guys. …,
Of course, this doesn't mean that everyone is safe, everyone knows that people like Alice can't be inferred by simple common sense, who knows what Alice will do to herself next? Until things finally become clear, everything is still unknown.
……………………
In addition to these gentlemen, Zhang Lan was also a little depressed, because Ya found that, like countless times in the past, whenever she and Alice appeared together, she was once again ignored by Huali, this reason is also normal, maybe in the eyes of many people, Zhang Lan, the lucky guy, is an Alice's "fortunate minister", if it is not for Alice's unsparing help over the years, how can this girl, and this girl's family, be so brilliant?
That's actually true, but the problem is, some things don't look at it that way, it's clear that Alice was summoned by herself, okay? As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Lan, the poor child, burst into tears.
Just when Zhang Lan was emotional, a guy who almost engraved the words "Don't enter the living" on the door of his head entered Zhang Lan's sight.
Different from the way other people smile kindly, this guy is like a cold piece of iron in winter, anyone who touches him is frozen and seems to be chilled all over, this person is the commander-in-chief of the Vietnamese Navy and the most determined ** element of the Vietnamese military: Nguyen Van Xian.
Although they are also surnamed Ruan, Ruan Wenxian and Ruan Yongjin actually have nothing to do with each other, the reason why both of them have the surname Ruan is just because the surname "Ruan" is the first surname in Yueda, and there are too many people with the surname Ruan.
Nguyen Van is now able to reach the position of commander-in-chief of the Vietnamese Navy and become an important minister in the Vietnamese military because he has a good old man: he is the godson of Hu Xminh, the former general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam. is different from the godsons that Hu Xming recognized before, Hu Xming cultivated Ruan Van Xian as his own son, that is to say, this girl is a serious **, even after Hu Xming hiccups for many years, relying on the connections left by his cheap father, this girl still has a decisive influence within the Vietnamese military and the Vietnamese government.
It's just that. Nguyen Van Xian's father Hu Xminh's attitude towards the Republic has always been good, but why has Hu Xming become the most staunch ** element in the Vietnamese military. It has always been doubted that there is an unconfirmed theory that can prove why Nguyen Van Xian has such a deep hatred for the republic: it is said that Nguyen Van Xian's father died at the hands of the republic, of course, this statement is a kind of news circulating in private. It has not been confirmed by anyone, not even Ruan Van Xian himself does not admit it - this kind of thing, naturally no one will admit it - but in any case, this girl is a staunch ** element, it is always true.
Looking at Ruan Wenxian, who seemed to be owed money to him by everyone present, Zhang Lan quickly moved his thoughts.
That's right. After the strength of the republican side, especially the navy, has been greatly enhanced, the maritime relations between China and Vietnam in this life are far less tense than in the previous life, and even under the strong pressure of the Republic Navy, the Vietnamese Navy, which is not strong in the first place. We have taken a step by step retreat posture.
But Zhang Lan by no means thinks that Vietnam has no idea about the original vast maritime territory of the Republic, and the last time the Viet Cong Navy was about to move, it shows that the Vietnamese have never given up their coveting of the vast maritime territory of the Republic. Even if that bastard was a member of the Ruan family at that time, the military regulations of any army were not placed there to look good.
Got a chance to him? glanced at Ruan Wenxian. Zhang Lan had a thought in her heart.
It seems that he senses that someone is beating his own idea, and Ruan Wenxian, who was like an ice cube just now. His eyes seemed to glance in Zhang Lan's direction intentionally or unintentionally, after finding nothing abnormal. Shaking his head, he looked to the side with some confusion.
This guy has such a keen sense! Zhang Lan was a little secretly frightened.
But the more this is the case, the more firm Zhang Lan's intention to knock out the Vietnamese navy, especially Nguyen Van Xian: this guy is a tiger, and for the Republic, this guy must not stay for a long time. …,
Ruan Wenxian didn't expect that his inadvertent glance just now had already made Zhang Lan feel murderous.
After making up his mind, Zhang Lan quickly began to calculate the background of the Vietnamese Navy:
Speaking of which, the Vietnamese Navy, which was founded in 1955, is not strong in its own military strength, and the size of the country's population and land limits Vietnam from developing into a coastal defensive maritime force with light equipment as the main body according to the actual situation of its own country.
In fact, compared with the Republic Navy, the Vietnamese Navy can only be regarded as a "miniature navy", with a total strength of only 42,000 people, and among these 4.02 million people, including 30,000 marines, it is divided into 1, 3, 4, and 5 coastal areas.
As far as equipment is concerned, the Vietnamese Navy is also relatively complete, with a total of 125 main battle equipment in service, including 2 pocket submarines, 5 frigates, 6 corvettes, 45 patrol boats, missile boats, and torpedo boats, 36 amphibious warfare ships, 13 hunting/minesweeping ships, and 18 military auxiliary vessels, totaling 125 ships, with a total tonnage of about 51,000 tons, and the main combat aircraft including two M-28 maritime patrol planes and three Be-12 long-range antisubmarine reconnaissance planes.
However, although the Vietnamese Navy, which seems to be relatively powerful in Southeast Asia, has a relatively complete range of main battle equipment, including submarines, patrol boats, missile boats, and frigates, most of the equipment was aided by the Soviet Union in the seventies and eighties of the 20 th century, and some of the equipment produced by the United States in the 40s of the 20 th century. For example, the five Vieja-class corvettes that were relied on by the Vietnamese Navy as the Great Wall of the Sea were successively imported by the Vietnamese Navy from the former Soviet Union in 1978-1984 (speaking of which, the Vietnamese should be grateful to the Republic, if it were not for the inextricability between the Republic and Vietnam at that time, the former Soviet Union at that time had the idea of letting the Vietnamese contain the republic, and the former Soviet Union, which was already very economically difficult at that time, would not have been able to sell these five Bejia-class corvettes to Vietnam at a very low price). In addition, there are three US-made 1-150 and 511-11528 tank landing ships, all of which were produced in the early 40s of the 20 th century, and have rarely been active at sea.
In addition, the tonnage of Vietnamese warships is generally small, with the exception of the "Biejia" class frigates, which have a tonnage of 1,000 tons, the tonnage of other ships (except landing ships) does not exceed 600 tons, and the small ones are only a few dozen tons. Although Vietnam has upgraded some of its ships, it has been due to the long service life of these equipment. There is a general aging and a serious shortage of spare parts. Thus, the overall combat capability of the Vietnamese Navy was significantly affected.
But such a navy that leaked everywhere and almost needed to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, in Zhang Lan's original historical time and space, could actually ride on the neck of the republic to and pee, for the republic, this is simply a great shame! What's even more shameful is that. In the 21st century, the republic, which has a long way stronger than Vietnam in terms of overall naval strength, is still turning a blind eye to the repeated provocations of the Vietnamese Navy in the South China Sea.
The expensive combat equipment purchased by the people of the republic with the taxes paid by them has become an expensive toy that looks good there and the great slogan of certain leaders "revitalize the navy"!
But this time. Zhang Lan will not let this situation repeat.
Having made up his mind in his heart, Zhang Lan walked over to Ruan Wenxian with a wine glass.
"General Ruan, don't mind if I sit here?" Zhang Lan stood in front of Ruan Wenxian with a smile, ignoring Ruan Wenxian's frowning brows and unhappy expression. Very shamelessly asked.
Opening his mouth, Ruan Wenxian swallowed the words that had already reached his lips.
He knew who this very shameless guy who sat next to him without his consent, and when he knew that Alice appeared at this banquet, Ruan Van Xian immediately knew who this guy who stood with Alice was...... Besides the guy from the Zhang family who doesn't know what shit luck has gone, who else could it be?
