Chapter 515: Henrietta
What can the Covenant do if they know about this? What about the outrage of Republicans? Now that the Star Alliance has opened its bow and has not turned back, the war with Monya and Sulu is imperative, is it possible that those old foxes in the parliament still dare to provoke the United Kingdom of Tulanx at this time?
In such a situation, even if they are not angry, they have to endure it, even if they hate it, they have to put their tails between their legs and be people.
His Royal Highness the Prince is really smart...... This is Zhou Ai's words, and it is also Tang Fang's thoughts at this moment.
He looked at the helpless old Benny, as well as Philips, and said: "This is a good thing, why do you have such a bad face, since His Royal Highness the Prince wants to cooperate with me, promise him." ”
Philips's eyes widened, he didn't believe that Tang Fang couldn't see the catty inside, Henrietta was not a drunkard at all, the cooperation was fake, and the search for a living battleship was real, maybe there were other attempts, such as kidnapping Roy.
"You...... Are you kidding? ”
Old Benny said: "You are luring the wolf into the house, Henrietta is a well-known traitor in the United Kingdom of Turanx, because the current king Zango Will Olipard ascended the throne for a short time, a large part of the government affairs must be carried out with the help of Henrietta, to put it bluntly, in the United Kingdom of Turanx, Henrietta is called half a regent, and dealing with such a treacherous and cunning character, you will be swallowed by him, and there will be no bones left." ”
Although he only said that he was interested in drugs to treat radiation sickness...... I suspect that this is not his ultimate goal, Henrietta must have taken a fancy to your living battleship. ”
Tang Fang nodded and said, "I know this, and besides, I also know what he wants the living battleship to do." ”
Philips got up and walked to the door, pushed open the door and looked left and right, and when he saw that no one was there, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked back to the sofa and sat down.
Tang Fang smiled and looked at the businessman who had been bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and said, "Don't worry, no one can eavesdrop on our conversation." ”
Philips said: "What happens in politics has nothing to do with us. ”
Tang Fang took a sip of tea and said, "In some countries, the economy is a continuation of politics. ”
Old Benny looked anxious and said: "Do you realize the consequences of doing this, in case you are involved in the infighting of the United Kingdom of Tulanx, some people in the Star Alliance are only afraid to use the topic to play and do something to you." ”
Tang Fang's expression did not change at all, and he couldn't see a trace of waves in his eyes, he said: "That's fun, it's not good that the situation is too calm." ”
The muscles under Philips' eyelids jumped several times in a row, and the heart said, is this still calm?
According to the grapevine, the notorious Xudra fleet of the Monya Empire is rushing to the front line under the leadership of the 13th prince, and the Sulu Empire has also sent a prince to supervise the war, and all walks of life in the Star Alliance are actively preparing for war, and the soldiers are holding their breath to give Mengya and Sulu a little color to the brutal royal family. On the one hand, the Charles Federation and the Republic of Dolanques continued to increase their troops in the "Gampna" theater, and on the other hand, they jumped up and down in the international arena and attacked Monya and Sulu with the help of the video footage released by the Tang side on social media and television. The Phoenix Empire seems to be indifferent on the surface, but in fact it is secretly ready to move, and the Silver Eagle Regiment intentionally or unintentionally creates some incidents in the disputed border area to irritate the bitter enemy.
More than half of the countries in the entire Xirenbuir region are involved in this right and wrong, although the United Kingdom of Turanks, the Republic of Ida, and the Sauron Empire have not made any major moves, but the strongholds deployed by the three countries in the Tianchao Star Region have been unusually quiet these days, making people feel the pulse.
It's such a situation, and he still says it's calm?
Now Prince Henrietta of the United Kingdom of Turachs has stepped in again, what kind of cooperation is he doing with "Morning Star Casting", what do these guys think? Does it have to be a mess in the Hillenbuir region?
Philips decided not to persuade anymore, because he suddenly realized a problem, the source of the turmoil in the Hillenbuir region was sitting on the sofa opposite, and the qiē that happened today all started when Captain Tang came to the Tianchao Star Region, in other words, today's qiē was very likely to be concocted by Captain Tang.
He was taken aback by his own thoughts, and if that was the case, maybe ...... As Captain Tang said, it's a good thing.
Of course, the word "good thing" is for whom.
For example, Prince Henrietta felt that working with the "Morning Star Foundry" was a good thing for him, but it was not necessarily a good thing, because the good or bad of things did not depend on him alone, and it would depend on what Captain Tang thought and how he did it.
This kid has a lot of heart and eyes, which makes people's teeth ache!
"Tang boy, what are you talking about, is it easy for 'Morning Star Casting' to have today's popularity...... I am not only happy, old guy, but also proud, but if our relationship involves you and the 'Morning Star Forge', how can I bear it, it is better to disband the merchant group and stay in the Star Alliance and not leave, no matter how arrogant His Royal Highness is, he will not dare to come to other countries to spread wild...... Besides, Philips and I are already old, and it's time to enjoy the blessings and find a beautiful place to retire and live. ”
"So, go to His Royal Highness Prince TMD." Old Benny burst into a foul language very rarely.
Irma looked at him affectionately, and for the first time felt that her uncle was so handsome.
Tang Fang has a black line, old Benny has always been a calm person, otherwise it would be impossible to be a partner with Philips, I didn't expect such an old man to be rude in front of juniors, you can imagine how much he resents Henrietta Olypod.
Philips's expression was still calm, and it didn't change because of old Benny's foul words, he looked into Tang Fang's eyes and said, "You really want to do this?" ”
Tang Fang nodded: "Maybe with the relationship of His Royal Highness the Prince, things will be handled better on Duke Congreve's side." ”
Old Benny looked at the two, couldn't understand why Philips, who was still united with him just now, suddenly made a 180-degree turn, frowned and said, "Philips, what do you mean?" ”
Philips smiled and squinted at his old partner: "Let's call it care, let me ask you, who is he?" ”
"Tang Fang."
"How old is he?"
"Twenty-two? Twenty-three? Twenty-five? Thirty ......"
Tang sank like water, Zhou Ai gritted his teeth, and Irma covered her mouth and was happy.
"Ahem...... Philips coughed twice, interrupting old Benny's unskilled cuteness: "Let me ask you, does he look like an ordinary person?" After saying that, he added: "Ordinary young people".
"No, no...... It's not like it, it's not at all. ”
"Still." Philips said: "You think about the series of things that have happened in the Star Alliance in the past few months, which thing does not have his shadow behind it?" I dare to say that the theft of the two Epsilon relics that Monya and Sulu obtained at the 'Somar' auction may have nothing to do with this kid, and even a game set up by him at all. ”
"Huh?" Old Benny was a little stunned for a while, his lips moved a few times, he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word, he thought about it, he couldn't believe it, he thought about it again, he still couldn't believe it, he turned his head to look at Tang Fang, and asked, "What he said is true?" ”
Irma next to him looked at him with big eyes open, shocked, mixed with a hint of adoration, thinking about how Hausen's stupid donkey was so lucky.
I remember someone who told her before: "Good people don't live long, but disasters live for a thousand years." "Whoever can be called a scourge is generally very lucky, and his life is long enough, and it is because of their long life that they have time to harm others.
Tang Fang rubbed his temples and looked defeated: "I'm really not mature enough, this series of events is too strong, and people with rich experience can easily see through the cats and failures in it...... Fail! ”
He said that he had failed, and his expression was not very good-looking, and he seemed very depressed.
The corners of old Benny's twitching mouth almost reached the back of his ears, if he didn't bury people like this, if he was called a failure, where would he be placed? If it weren't for Philips reminding him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have woken up to the fact that the recent changes in the Tianchao Star Region were just a game laid down by this kid.
Even if there is craftsmanship and a strong sense of carving, but so what, the forces of all parties are not still jumping into the trap and making various choices that Captain Tang expected, this belongs to the yang conspiracy, which is upright, and people can't say their suffering, so they can only admit it.
"Alas!" Old Benny looked at the ceiling and said, "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves......"
Philips didn't bother to pay attention to him, this old guy can drive people crazy when he nags, and he didn't drink a sip of good herbal tea, got up and walked out the door.
"I'll reply to Raodorben and help you arrange a video conference with Henrietta."
The Raodo he said was originally the deputy director of the "Saam" space station, of course, this is only a superficial position, in addition, Raodo also has another identity, the head of the special agent sent by His Royal Highness to the hinterland of the Star Alliance to spy on intelligence and collect work.
Old Benny watched Philips leave the room and turned his head to look at Tang Fang: "What the hell are you guys doing again?" ”
Tang Fang's right thumb gently scraped the rim of the cup, his eyes looked at the golden tea soup, and said slowly: "I haven't thought about it yet." ”
Old Benny took a sip of the coffee table in his cup, made a grunting sound, and said, "It's strange to believe you!" ”
A wisp of tea slid down, wetting the gray-white stubble on his chin.
"I really didn't lie to you." There was a ripple on the surface of the tea soup because old Benny did not handle it gently, and the cup foot touched the coffee table and caused vibration.
Zhou Ai said: "Save it, even I won't believe it." ”
Tang Fang wrinkled his nose, looked very innocent, and said loudly: "What I said is the truth! ”
Old Benny stood up, took off his very earthy black yarke from the coat rack, and let Irma carry him out the door, leaving a sentence before leaving the door: "The sake of the Japanese restaurant next to the hotel tastes good." ”
Tang Fang said: "I hate eating Japanese food, but I don't hate Japanese girls. ”
Zhou Ai snatched the cup of tea from him and poured it out.
Tang Fang said: "Why? ”
The girl replied, "It's a Chinese girl's bubble." ”
Tang Fang: "...... Beauty knows no borders. ”
Zhou Ai looked him up and down several times, and finally fell between his legs, raised his willow eyebrows, and said: "Beauty has no borders, but men's things have borders." ”
Tang Fang was furious: "Zhou Ai, did you eat the dog?" ”
Zhou Ai looked down at the teacup in his hand, and regretted that he had already poured out the tea, otherwise he could help Captain Tang wash his face.
…………
The next day, at 14:30 "Saam" time, Captain Tang, who was woken up by Claire, yawned all the way to the backyard of the hotel, got into an inconspicuous maglev car, turned into the sidewalk through the side door, and sailed to a ship maintenance company called "Norder" on the edge of the business district.
To outsiders, he was there to negotiate business, but in fact he was going to have a video conference with Prince Henrietta Olypod to discuss cooperation.
He didn't feel the need to sneak around and act like a thief, but Raodor insisted that it was a trade secret and that the less people knew about it, the better.
Tang Fangxin said that it was confidential, but Henrietta didn't say that the video conference had to be held in secret, and it was not because of Laodo's occupational illness.
About 20 minutes later, the car stopped in the backyard of "Norder", and the two got out of the car and entered a heavily guarded warehouse on the left side of the compound.
Raodore enters a password on the trackpad surface, and the elevator begins to descend, blinking to -3F, which is not on the floor menu.
Go out to the right and enter a conference room, there are already 2 people waiting for them, Raodore will give a brief introduction.
The dark-skinned Asian man's name is Wang Jianzhi, a space station architect. Another white man with a fat head and big ears, sparse eyebrows like a brush that has been used for many years, and some incongruous facial features is called Meterev, a biologist.
Tang Fang glanced at the two thoughtfully, and under the guidance of Raodo, he walked to a position and sat down.
The conference room is not big, it can even be said to be narrow, the center of the room is a holographic projection equipment, and there are 2 conference tables arranged on the left and right opposite side, which can only accommodate 4 people to sit.
Wang Jianzhi and Meterev sat on the right, and Tang Fang and Raodor sat on the left.
As the lights in the room dimmed, Raodore pressed a button on the trackpad surface.
The lens cover of the projection system opens, and five blue rays shine down, drawing a stereoscopic projection of a person in mid-air.
Henrietta Olypod looked droopy and old, and his body was already sloppy, and the wrinkles covered his parched cheeks in cascades, and the loose and shriveled muscles under the eyes were too hard to look at.
If it weren't for the conference room, if it weren't for Raodo's accompaniment, who stood up and bowed to the figure in front of him with a humble face, Tang Fang would definitely not think that such an old guy would be a prince.
He's in his 90s...... Moreover, no matter from the appearance, or temperament, there is nothing impressive enough, the only feeling is ordinary, like all old people who are about to die.
Tang Fang didn't understand very much, he was already so old, and his life journey would reach the end in a few stops at most, as a prince with a prominent status, power, and wealth in the world, what was there not to be satisfied with? What's the regret? At such a large age, you still have to fight, plunder, and calculate.
Isn't he tired?
Tang Fang has never climbed to that height, so it is difficult to understand Henrietta's mood, the beggars sleeping on the stone benches covered with newspapers on the streets have their own forced helplessness, and the high-ranking officials and royal families of some systems also have their own forced helplessness.
When "政zhì" changes from a word to a profession and into a life, it is like taking a shuttle bus without a braking system, either rumbling forward or falling into a deep stream, smashing a carload of people to pieces.
There is a word called "I can't help myself", and there is a saying that "I always have to pay it back when I come out".
"No introduction, let's get started."
The old and dry voice came out from Henrietta's moving lips, he looked at Tang Fang and nodded, and said: "Mr. Tang, I am Henrietta, I believe that Philips has relayed my thoughts to you, I won't say anything superfluous, I want to hear what you mean."
I don't know if it's electromagnetic interference or equipment problems, the light under the lens is a little unstable, the projection is slightly distorted, and Henrietta's facial expression looks very unnatural, adding a smell of lust and guilt.
This is an illusion created by light and shadow magic, which is not terrifying at all, but it also makes people a little worried, worried that his half-burned wind candle will suddenly go out and disappear into a wisp of green smoke.
Tang Fang felt that he should show more respect, but it was an old man, an old man about the same age as his grandfather, so he "pondered" for a moment and said: "I don't have any opinion on cooperation, it is a good thing to be able to open up overseas markets after all, but I have to ask the attitude of 'Daystar Pharmaceutical'." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Henrietta's mouth, not warm, a little cold, and said in a tone of a passer-by: "Young man, don't try to play tricks in front of an old guy like me, that will only be self-defeating, 'Daystar Pharmaceutical' has a few points of fame in the Star Alliance, but it is not a first-line pharmaceutical company, their scientific research team is very limited, and you have only been in the Tianchao Star Region for a few months, can you develop a drug for the treatment of radiation sickness in such a short time?" Let's be honest...... I don't believe it, I'm just afraid that you are the one who really researches the new drug, and 'Daystar Pharmaceutical' is just sitting back and enjoying the results...... You chose to work with Bilbot because you needed a leader to break into the Star Alliance pharmaceutical market and someone to deflect public attention and commercial pressures. ”
"Am I right...... Youngster? ”
Tang Fang was stunned for a while, his heart was worthy of being an old fox who had lived for such an age, and he really thought a lot, although his guess was still a bit conservative and underestimated his ambitions, but from the perspective of hidden strength, it was still very correct.
The central point of Henrietta's remarks is the medicine for radiation sickness, and he is not talking about living warships.
He doesn't know his true strength, so he will underestimate it, otherwise, I'm afraid he will guess eight or nine.
Sure enough, being old and not dying is a thief, especially these old guys who play politics, and they have many eyes like a sieve. R1152
