Chapter 217: The Development of Events
The police department of the island country soon received the news of the case at the Coast Hotel.
However, when they arrived at the Shore Hotel, they saw only smoke-filled buildings and frightened witnesses at the scene.
According to the information obtained from the investigation at the scene, a group of heavily armed gangsters stormed the Coast Hotel and set fire to the hotel. As soon as the fire broke out, the gangsters stood guard at the door, grabbed a large number of tourists, took them away, and left by speedboat.
The more detailed the information received by the police officers of the island country, the more they felt that the situation was beyond their control and that they had to report it to their superiors immediately.
Something big is wrong!
I don't know if it's good or bad, at the time of the incident, because the masked gangsters didn't seem to be taboo, but were very arrogant, so many pedestrians secretly photographed them leaving with hostages. The videos were processed and uploaded to the Internet, where they instantly became the news that the world's major news television stations rushed to report.
Sharif did not expect that there would really be pirates who appeared in the waters of the island nation and successfully kidnapped a group of tourists under his nose, which annoyed him very much.
Upon receiving the news, he quickly ordered the Coast Guard to attack. Unfortunately, the coast guard did not catch up with the kidnappers.
Sharif thought to himself that no matter how much it cost, he must find out these kidnappers, and he had only been in power for a long time before such a huge impact happened. It is to be expected how much pressure he will come under.
Sharif immediately summoned the president's cabinet, as well as the head of the National Police, the commander of the Coast Guard, and Qin Xiang.
"It is imperative that we find out the identity of the hostages as soon as possible, so that we can change our passivity." Qin Xiang said. Qin Xiang is the president of Top Technology. In a way, Sharif values his opinion.
"Yes! Your Excellency, since this has happened, let's just face it positively. Said the commander of the Coast Guard.
Sharif turned to look at the head of the police force.
The head of the police force wiped his sweat, hesitated for a moment, and stopped talking. Qin Xiang frowned when he saw this, and his intuition told him that the situation might be even worse than he imagined. Sure enough, the head of the police force finally decided to report the truth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Sharif was frightened.
"After our careful investigation and inquiry. and a review of surveillance footage and hotel registration records. It can be confirmed that 23 foreigners have been kidnapped, of whom 6 are from country M and 11 are Europeans. There are also six foreigners from other international regions. ”
Sharif's face was ugly. Such a result. It will only lead to a passive response by island countries in the international arena. You must know that when Sharif came to power, he had a very grand blueprint. Trying to rely on cutting-edge technology. To develop the island country into one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world.
As soon as the kidnapping incident occurred, the island nation became famous, but the tourist attraction was lost. At least under Sharif's tenure, it will be difficult for him to rebuild his reputation as a safe tourist city.
"The biggest problem now is how to deal with the kidnapping incident quickly!" The foreign minister, who was sitting on the sidelines, suddenly said, "If this matter cannot be properly resolved, it is very likely to invite the interference of other countries." ”
"Can other countries interfere in our internal affairs?" Sharif asked.
"Absolutely!" The Minister of Foreign Affairs replied, "Country M, in particular, likes to play the role of a police officer in the world. ”
Qin Xiang thought for a moment and said, "The purpose of the kidnappers is nothing more than ransom or some specific demand. The former is okay to say, as long as the amount is not large, our top technology can help appropriately. ”
Sharif is waiting for Qin Xiang's words, most of the hostages are foreigners, according to the usual practice. The government of the island nation is not obligated to pay the ransom for them. But if something happens to them in the island nation, they have to save them.
There was a knock at the door of the conference room.
"Come in!" Sharif was in a very irritable mood, and the knock at the door struck him like a pile, and he suddenly shouted impatiently, as if he had found an outlet.
"Your Excellency! Oh no, on the Internet, this kidnapping incident has been spread all over the island country! ”
"How so?" "Some tourists uploaded the video to the Internet."
Du Le sat in the office of Longteng Company, looking at a newspaper, and the news in the newspaper was the hostage incident that happened in the island country. Today, this kidnapping case has become one of the hottest news in the world. Countless journalists from all over the world flocked to the island country to try to get first-hand the course of events.
In his hand was a local daily newspaper in Central South Province, with an overseas news section detailing the events of the island hostages, as well as photographs taken from the video.
Du Le looked at the date, the incident happened yesterday, and until now, Du Le had not received any explanation or report about the hostage incident in this island nation in the routine email of Qin Xiang, who was a top technot.
Du Le didn't know what kind of mentality Qin Xiang had.
Du Le has always regarded the island country as the backyard of top technology, and Qin Xiang didn't even say anything to him about such a big thing when the island country came out. It's a bit of an anomaly.
Are you sure that the island nation can solve it on its own, or do you think that this matter has nothing to do with top technology?
Du Le didn't want to speculate on his subordinates, he always fully considered the autonomy of his subordinates. But of course, Du Le still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
You must know that the current ruler of the island country is Sharif, and Sharif is Qin Xiang's father-in-law. Therefore, top technology is closely related to the government of the island country, and from this point of view, Du Le does not think that Qin Xiang does not know the importance of the island country to the top technology.
Without the island nation, cutting-edge technology would not have been able to grow to the current scale. No matter how weak the island nation is, it is still an autonomous country. No country would be willing to undermine the international order.
Three-year-old children know that no matter what they do, they must have a name.
In today's international environment, arbitrarily encroaching on one country without a name will arouse opposition from other countries. There is no justified reason to cause war, and it will be besieged and condemned by all countries in the world.
Because if today succeeds in encroaching on this small country. Tomorrow it is possible to occupy another small country! Once a rule is broken, it is difficult to establish it again.
Otherwise, the people of country M have exerted so much force in the Middle East, why not simply occupy a piece of land, but only to support a Jewish state?
I have to say that the location of the island country is excellent. It is far away from other big countries.
When the top technology came out, it was very strategic and disclosed its virtual technology to the countries of the world. As a result, no major power can monopolize island countries. As a result, island nations can maintain a rare degree of neutrality.
Du Le threw the newspaper aside, since Qin Xiang didn't want to look for him, he didn't want to bother with this matter. Du Le, who was thousands of miles away, didn't have much to do to help.
The brain can be connected to the Internet. Access to some public networks. Actually, it's not that hard. None of them. It is because the brain is advanced enough and has a strong ability to receive signals. However, Zhibrain cannot invade encrypted computers, and it is impossible to obtain unauthorized management qualifications casually.
Alas. Du Le sighed.
In this operation to search and rescue the hostages, Du Le actually couldn't help much. It is impossible for him to let floating mines fly everywhere in the waters of the island nation, so it is very easy to expose floating mines to the world.
Du Le thought at the moment that it would be nice if he had a satellite that could be directly monitored at this time. This makes it possible to directly monitor the Earth from outer space, and control
Thinking of this, it dawned on Du Le that he should have at least three satellites so that he could establish a direct and exclusive communication network. This also has the advantage that the missiles that Du Le bought from Andromeda can have a very good navigation function.
The most important thing is that the satellite manufacturing technology is not good, and the engineer robot may not be able to repair it, but it should be possible to repair it or carry out a certain degree of modification.
However, the price of satellites seems to be very large, and it is not something that ordinary people can buy.
In view of this, Du Le intends to buy one or two satellites in the name of the island nation from other countries that can afford to make satellites as his private satellites.
Du Le used his brain to check the account of top technology and found that there was still a balance of nearly 500 million US dollars in the account, all of which was the income from the sale of virtual helmets and various virtual experience halls during this period of time.
After knowing the balance, Du Le had a bottom in his heart and put things aside for the time being. Prepare for the next time, and discuss the decision with Qin Xiang and Sharif.
The assessment of the security department of Longteng Company was successfully completed, Zhang Hujun became the minister, and many Duohe Lin Wenhua became the deputy minister. The others are security supervisors, each responsible for a different area of company security.
Because the security department formally established the department leader, feeling that the company's security force is too thin, Du Le decided to carry out the first expansion of the Longteng security department, and the recruitment work is completely responsible for the security department and the personnel department.
Du Le contacted Fang Yuanshan and purchased a piece of land again to build a staff dormitory and factory warehouse. With the development of the company and the expansion of personnel, the original factory area can no longer meet the needs of the company.
Du Le plans to set up a special staff dormitory for arranging staff accommodation. Factory warehouses are set up to increase production, increase efficiency and replenishment storage. The new warehouse, which was built next to the national highway by Tuile, was built for easy transportation. And the staff dormitory, mainly the dormitory of the security department, can facilitate the guarding of goods.
Xiao Fang, a member of the Statistical Bureau of the Han Kingdom, was instructed by his superiors to investigate all aspects of the Ming Kingdom and try to understand the country.
Xiao Fang touched the watch on his wrist, this is the Shunfeng ear of the Han Kingdom, which is said to be a gift from the lord of the country. A must-have for every statistical office.
Recently, Xiao Fang took on a task, that is, to find ways to buy as much grain as possible from the Ming Kingdom. Because, some time ago, the lord of the Han State bought grain on a large scale, which led to a shortage of domestic food, so he had to find ways to supplement some from other countries.
The small side did not resent the lord of the country, although the lord of the country bought domestic grain, which led to the shortage of domestic food. But Xiao Fang knew that the lord of the country brought food from the "fairy world" for the sake of them, and saved countless people.
Besides, since the lord of the country ascended the throne, all the food purchased was used in his own treasury, and the small party only treated the lord with gratitude, and only thought about serving the country as much as possible.
Xiao Fang sat in the lobby of an inn, and he was waiting for a businessman from the Ming Kingdom. For a moment, one wore a fur hat. A merchant dressed in silk and satin walked in.
"Boss Xu, you're here!" Xiao Fang stood up to greet him.
"Hehe, Xiaofang, I've kept you waiting."
Boss Xu was the largest grain merchant in the southwestern border of the Ming Kingdom, and had a good relationship with the local Ming officials. Therefore, Xiao Fang had to try his best to treat Boss Xu.
"Where! Waiting for Boss Xu is my Xiaofang's honor! Xiao Fang replied with a smile.
After inviting Boss Xu to sit down, Xiao Fang said openly and honestly: "Boss Xu, I still want to buy grain from you." I wonder if there are still reserves in Ludao? ”
"No problem. As long as there is gold, I will sell it to you! Boss Xu smiled, then looked around and saw that there were not many people in the lobby who paid attention. Xiao Fang continued to say: "However. I sold it to you. You may not be able to bring it back to Han. ”
What do you mean? Boss Xu, please be sure to advise and advise the younger brother. Xiao Fang's heart shook slightly, knowing that Boss Xu had something to say.
"Hehe, I just got news from the General's Mansion. His Majesty the Emperor was extremely annoyed by the disrespect of the lord of the Han Kingdom, and it was very likely that he would "Boss Xu stopped talking just right, picked up a cup of tea, and slowly took a sip.
Although Xiao Fang was very anxious in his heart, he didn't show it, and he smiled slightly, as if he didn't care.
Seeing this, Boss Xu put down the teacup, and finally couldn't help but say, "Why aren't you in a hurry at all?" ”
"What's there to worry about?" Xiao Fang said slowly. Boss Xu didn't know about Lu Dao, Xiao Fang had already done his homework in advance, and he had inquired about Boss Xu's character, and he knew that he was an acute person. As long as he doesn't act more anxious than him, he will be in a hurry to tell what he knows.
If it weren't for Boss Xu being the younger brother of the general's wife, it would be impossible for him to become the largest grain merchant in the southwest border with such a character. It's just that despite this, Boss Xu can only affect the southwest border city.
"Well, you can sit still. The General's Mansion is already mobilizing and preparing to help the Qi and Jin countries restore their country. Boss Xu said.
"For what? It was the Qi and Jin countries that took the lead in attacking our country, which led to the destruction of the Chu State, and the lord of our Han State rose under the expectations of the people. Xiao Fang asked puzzled.
"Drink, you are all from this side, so you naturally understand it clearly. But His Majesty the Emperor didn't know what to do. The princes of Qi and Jin went to the Daming Palace to cry! Boss Xu smiled.
"So shameless!" Xiao Fang said.
"You're really not worried at all?" Boss Xu asked strangely.
"What is there to worry about!" Xiao Fang smiled and continued: "These things, let's talk about them when they happen, if they don't happen, we will continue to be drunk and dreaming of death." ”
Boss Xu glanced at Xiao Fang strangely and said, "Then do you still want to buy grain?" Perhaps, if you buy it today, you won't even be able to ship it to the border gate. ”
"I believe in Boss Xu!" Xiao Fang smiled meaningfully.
"Okay, I didn't misread you!" Boss Xu squinted his eyes and said, "However, the price will go up a little bit." ”
Xiao Fang knew that Boss Xu would not say these things casually in front of him, it turned out that the old fox wanted to increase the price.
Guan Zheng received all kinds of messages from the personnel of the statistical bureau, and then summarized them. On the basis of the information obtained, the officials of each ministry are arranged to carry it out.
The Kingdom of Qi and the Kingdom of Jin are about to die. Although the lord Du Le was not there, the governor had already formulated a set of strategies to support the war by war according to the needs, strategically attacking the Qi and Jin countries, and preparing to unify the southwest basin in one fell swoop. Only by occupying more territory can the government reap more resources.
In the storage disk of the administration, there are countless development plans.
At present, all parts of the Han Kingdom have successively established a variety of professional farms and developed cities with their own characteristics. Therefore, although the Han Kingdom was not established for a long time, it was thriving. The peasants were given the means to increase their food production, the craftsmen learned to make some tools for use, and the blacksmiths learned the rudimentary skills of making iron.
Not only that, the government directly implements weights and measures, promotes streamlined production methods, and greatly increases production efficiency.
In terms of education, according to Du Le's opinion, Guan Zheng directly implemented simplified Chinese characters, as the official language of the Han Dynasty, and every child of school age must be literate and literate, and must know at least 1,000 commonly used words. Otherwise, they are not allowed to hold any official positions.
In addition, in view of financial difficulties, a concerned approach has been adopted to develop education. As long as the peasants can recognize more than 800 words of common words and pass the examination, they can be exempted from forced labor and reduced or exempted from taxes. If the businessman knows more than 2,000 words, he can be exempted from a certain commercial tax if he passes the assessment.
The news that Xiao Fang got from Boss Xu of Ming Guo was quickly conveyed to Guan Zheng through the watch.
Guan Zheng immediately issued a primary national mobilization to mobilize young and middle-aged people between the ages of 18 and 40 to build a national defense army. Nationals who meet the requirements were able to obtain citizenship after the war.
Cold weapon warfare often takes a lot of time. Guan Zheng estimated that it would take about three months for the Ming Congress to invade the Han Kingdom. Because of the statistical bureau, the government can mobilize the whole country in a short period of time, and the recruits will have at least a month to train.
But since it was the Qi and Jin countries who begged to the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, the administration could not help but have scruples. In order to prevent the resistance of the Qi and Jin countries from growing, Guan Zheng issued instructions to the armies attacking the Qi and Jin countries to eliminate all resistance as soon as possible, and completely incorporated the Qi and Jin countries into the Han state. As long as the Han State can block the Ming Army, the Han State can get better development.
Of course, Guan Zheng has countless killer weapons that can stop the Ming Kingdom and eliminate the Ming Kingdom easily. However, all this requires the support of Du Le. Floating mines, missiles, and spider machines are obviously invincible in foreign lands. Anything or the other is estimated to be able to make the enemy fearful.
It's a pity that none of these things can be infinitely owned. The ruler can only hope that the owner, Du Le, can set up an efficient factory in another space to produce more spider machines and missiles. In this way, no country is a threat to the Han state. (To be continued.) )
