In this way, in the area around "Jakarta Pur", who will dare to fight the ideas of Walton and others in the future?

Also, from his facial expressions, it is not difficult to see that he wishes that there would be a stronger pirate force to hit his attention, which can only show one thing, he also has a stronger backhand, and the Epsilon Dragon Shield is just one of them.

Too strong, too bad, too thief...... Johnny is glad now, glad he hadn't been careful with him in the first place, otherwise, God knows if the man lying on the hospital bed with the 180-watt light bulb on the ceiling would have been him.

"By the way, give me the contact information of the head of the 'Rover Technology Consortium' branch in 'Babylon'."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Johnny was overjoyed, as long as the person in charge of the "Babylon" side was smart and didn't play any bad things, a big deal would not run.

After sending the branch address, the name of the person in charge, contact information and other materials, Johnny stood up and said goodbye: "There are still more than 5 hours before the press conference starts, Brother Donald should take this opportunity to take a good rest." ”

"Okay." Tang Fang got up and sent Johnny out the door, and then ordered Bai Hao to contact Walton and Joey, then returned to the sofa and sat down, waiting for the two to arrive.

……

After waiting for half an hour, I waited for Walton and Joey. When asked why, it turned out that they were negotiating a lease contract with the Star Alliance officials in charge of the business district.

Although the degree of freedom of goods trading in the territory of Star Alliance is very high, there are still relatively strict and rigid regulations for business activities such as listing on the regional electronic trading platform and the "Lokia" mineral resources trading center for bulk procurement. After all, Tang Fang and others are foreigners, and there is no guarantee of credibility, and their business scope involves mineral resources, metal smelting, etc. The Star Alliance official will inevitably conduct a careful investigation and assessment before giving the approval.

Of course, with Johnny in the run, there shouldn't be any major problems with this process.

After listening to Walton's report, Tang Fang nodded, and by the way, he informed the two of them about the pirate encounter.

For what happened at the docks. Walton and Joey had heard Grant talk about it, and they had already been mentally prepared, and they did not express surprise or anything like that. However, the Navy's press conference to create a momentum and hype up the incident was unexpected.

Subsequently, Tang Fang talked about his plans, and the two naturally had no objections. Thereupon. The other two crew members were instructed to continue to familiarize themselves with some of the laws and regulations set by the Star Alliance in the commercial field, while Walton and Joy stayed behind and waited for the press conference to begin.

Three hours later, the plump woman who was in charge of receiving the Tang side from the customs side entered the lounge with several civilian personnel of the Navy, talked with the Tang side about the process of the press conference, asked questions from reporters that he might encounter, and vaguely expressed the Navy's hope that he would be able to speak in unison with the authorities on specific issues.

Let's say, the Navy went in time. Bloodlessly take a large number of pirates. Let's say, the navy is very kind. Shh

The face project, the need for publicity, this Tang Fang understood very well and agreed to it. Merely. He also revealed a signal to the navy that it should not pin all its merits on the military, at least be realistic in the fall of the "Ogre" pirates, otherwise, if something goes wrong. Don't blame him for not warning him beforehand.

Someone from the Navy's propaganda department also assured that the matter of the "ogre" pirates would be blurred.

Indeed, this is a meritorious service. It can be seen that there are many people who witnessed that scene, including most of the pirates who escaped in the encirclement network, and the sensors of the battleship are not decorations, so they must have recorded the before and after of this battle. If the Navy recklessly takes this on itself, it may be slapped by the media if it turns its head.

The media of the Star Alliance is not like the imperial state, it is the mouthpiece of the government, and the officials let them go west, and this group of dogs will never dare to go east. The officials let them shit in their pants, and this group of dolls did not dare to take off their pants and fart.

Not to mention that there are hostile forces such as the Phoenix Empire and the Silver Eagle Regiment, let's just say that among the 24 forces within the Star Alliance, which one is good? Who did not support a few media behind the scenes, so as to smear other forces, and indirectly or directly obtain political and economic benefits.

The foundation of the Star Alliance is the old federation, which was born from the old system, and the constitution advocates independence, freedom, and democracy. Enterprises, groups, and even individuals can set up television stations, newspapers, etc. The "Jakartapur" Navy wants to tease the people and guide public opinion like the imperial states of Monya and Sulu, and it is no less difficult than climbing to the sky on foot.

What can't the pirates do for money? As soon as the battle records are sold to the media, the Navy is waiting to be slapped in the face. Therefore, even if the Tang side does not mention this matter, as smart as the navy's propaganda department, it will deliberately obscure matters related to the destruction of the "ogre" pirates.

In addition, Tang Fang also introduced Walton and Joey, and told them that he would take the two of them to the press conference together, so as to take this opportunity to let them show their faces and become familiar.

Although he didn't say it directly, the staff of a semi-political and semi-militarized naval organization like the propaganda department were all old fritters, so how could he not hear the implication?

The Tang side postponed the trip and promised to help the navy, and the navy naturally had to reciprocate, and everyone took what they needed, and everyone was happy.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are trades. Money transactions, power transactions, favor transactions, skin and skin transactions...... Trading is an act that will continue as long as humanity does not become extinct.

Don't look at the fact that the Tang side only has one destroyer, and the full fight is no more than 200 people, compared to the "Jakarta Pur" navy, it is no less than the difference between ants and elephants.

Under such conditions, private organizations negotiate terms with government departments? If you put it in Mengya, you will definitely be laughed at and scolded for being S, B. In Monya, there is a price to be a good citizen. The top of the empire issued a document and carried out a reform with good intentions, but what about the grassroots level? The civilians below have to break their legs when applying for documents, not to mention that they have to endure the difficulties of the local office units everywhere, and they will never give up if they don't scrape some oil and water off you. Moreover, if there are any adverse consequences such as personal accidents, property damage, and waste of time in this process, I am sorry. Please digest it yourself.

Well, for this point, Tang Fang will always think of the social chaos in the Middle East under the control of terrorist forces before the crossing...... Some people, you reason with them, and they play hooligan with you. You play hooligan with him, he talks to you about faith, you talk to him about faith, he talks to you about politics, you talk to him about politics, he talks to you about doctrine......

In a country like Monya, do you want to talk to the government on an equal footing? It was a pipe dream. Civilized and good citizens are not something that anyone can do if they want to, ordinary people still stay aside, what should they do.

But in the Star Alliance. One qiē is different. As long as you have evidence, laws to follow, and supporters, what's wrong with the government departments? Government departments can also be sued for bankruptcy.

Just like right now, the Tang side is bargaining with the navy on this matter, and the officer in charge of this matter does not dare to say anything.

In the end, the two sides talked about the details again, and several officers of the navy's propaganda department took their leave. The plump woman also left the lounge after introducing the personnel arrangement.

And so it went on for an hour. The press conference venue was set up and some Customs officers were instructed to pick up several people to their destinations.

Because the caliber had been unified in advance, the cooperation between the Tang side and the spokesman of the navy was quite good. He can't do it by singing praises or something, but he can't pat the navy's ass vaguely, and it's not too disgusting.

In fact, Tang Fang felt that the ideological consciousness of the media workers of the Star Alliance was still quite high. At the very least, he didn't ask questions such as, "Are you happy?" "Are you going home for the New Year this year?" "Such NC issues.

The press conference lasted about half an hour, and it was clear that the Navy's propaganda department had put a lot of effort into handling the matter. The speaker's speech was very funny, and he was very approachable in terms of dress, even when encountering questions such as "How are you going to punish those pirates?" "Is it the same as before, you can be released on bail by paying money? Such sharp questions will also be joked, even complained with self-deprecation, and from time to time teased the top brass of the Navy.

This couldn't help but make Tang Fang's favorability towards the Star Alliance increase a lot, although in his eyes, Zheng zhì was like a piece of leek egg stuffed stool, how disgusting and disgusting. However, it's good that the Star Alliance understands the packaging, spray some perfume, sprinkle some petals, and then look at the Mengya Empire, tsk...... Tut......

The navy was still very satisfied with the cooperation of the Tang side, and afterwards with the deputy commander Newton? Bell met with him, and the white American didn't have much of a fight. The two laughed for a while about the previous battle, and Tang Fang said goodbye and left, returning to the rest room provided by the customs.

There is no day or night in the Star Harbor, Tang Fangzheng was thinking about whether to leave immediately, and when he continued to hurry, Johnny led Mariteth to look for him, and said that he would invite him to a light meal.

It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, so he had to agree to come down and go to the appointment with Walter, Zhou Ai, Tang Lin, Bai Hao and others.

Afterwards, Tang Fang politely refused Johnny's request to send him out of port, told him to take good care of Walton, Joey and others, and then shook hands and said goodbye, took a shuttle, returned to the battleship dock, and prepared to board the ship and leave the port.

Bai Hao, this kid, drank a little more during the meal, and his walking was a little unsteady, so Tang Lin had no choice but to help him and walk slowly behind Tang Fang and Zhou Ai.

When a few people entered the boarding hall of the dock and were about to go to the customs to go through the departure procedures, several people in police uniforms suddenly walked over, and the leading team leader looked at the appearance of several people, and said to Tang Fang: "But Mr. Tang Fang?" ”

"Yes, it's me, what's the matter?"

"Regarding the matter of the 'Garuda' Pirates, there are a few questions that need to be verified, I hope Mr. Tang can cooperate."

"Hmm, 'Garuda'?" Tang Fang frowned and asked casually, "Aren't those pirates under the control of the navy?" This is Newton? Does Bell know? ”

The team leader shook his head: "This is not clear, our 'Lokia Police Department' has just received an order from above and has been sent to investigate the crimes of those pirates and collect evidence." ”

"Well, how long will it take?"

"It's just a transcript, and it's only 20 minutes at most." The team leader replied with a smile.

"Okay." Tang Fang nodded: "Lead the way ahead." ”

"Thank you." The squad leader thanked him and led the way. Later, Zhou Ai hurried to catch up with Tang Fang and asked in a low voice, "Will there be a problem?" ”

Tang Fang pondered for a moment and said, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be." First, we are serious merchants, and there is no reason for Xinggang to embarrass us. Second, there is Johnny's relationship, and Newton? Bell pressed on it. They would never dare to mess around. ”

"That's right." Zhou Ai nodded: "We didn't do anything that endangered the safety of Star Port. ”

"You don't have to think about it, just go." Tang Fang didn't think that Xinggang would embarrass himself, and the press conference had just ended, so how could there be any reason to unload the mill and kill the donkey? This is the Star Alliance, not the Mengya Empire!

In terms of the reception of passing merchants, the Covenant forces have a good reputation throughout the Hillenbuir region. There will be no bullying behavior. Perhaps, as the squad leader said, it's just a routine matter and a transcript.

Of course, everything must be prepared for the worst, and while following the guards, Tang Fang told Grant, Nehemayah and others to pay close attention to the airspace near the dock through the combat units arranged in Guò on the Morning Star, and report to "him" at all times.

At the same time, he dispatched five detectors hidden in the belly of the Morningstar. Ambush on the circuit route of the naval guard fleet "Jakarta Pur" in order to be able to detect anomalies at the first time and gain reaction time.

It's best if it's just a routine, but if it's like the dog leg of the Monya Empire's "come with us", what kind of dissonance occurs, hum, he doesn't mind teaching the "Jakarta Pur" Navy a good lesson, so that these guys can learn some lessons. In the future, settle down and don't make enemies everywhere.

Tang Lin also more or less noticed a trace of abnormality. simply hugged Bai Haokang on his shoulders, so that it would be easier to deal with emergencies.

The guards of Xinggang were in front, and the four of Tang Fang were behind, until they walked into the police branch of the dock, and there were no accidents. The team leader arranged for a few people to sit in a rest hall and said, "Wait a minute." I'm going to find someone to take notes. Then he withdrew with his men.

In just three or five minutes, an Asian woman in uniform walked into the room, greeted Tang Fang with a smile in Chinese, and asked the reception to serve tea, and then sat down. Turn on the recording function of the PDA at will.

It seems that it is really just a routine, Tang Fang breathed a sigh of relief, followed the Asian woman's questioning, and told a little about what happened during the previous Morningstar being forced out of the virtual space and falling into the siege of the "Garuda" pirates, to the "ogre" stepping in, and the navy launching a surprise attack.

Afterwards, I asked the Asian woman why the "Lokia Police Department" asked him to make a record, but it turned out that after Commander Ah San fell into the hands of the navy, he kept shouting that he was wronged, and he and Tang Fang were brothers and friends. Since they are brothers and friends, there is naturally no such thing as robbery, so the navy has arrested the wrong person.

The police in Starport were still very steady, and they found that the Morning Star had not yet left the port, so there was a scene where the squad leader invited someone in the boarding passage just now.

This guy is really a horn. Thinking of the third head of the deflated calf, Tang Fang couldn't help but grin. casually asked the Asian woman what the "Lokia Police Department" would do with the "Garuda" people.

Maybe it's because of the villagers, and secondly, because she knows that Tang Fang is not an ordinary person, and the female police officer is very happy to express her opinion.

According to past experience, if the Tang side is sure of the relationship between the two, if the police department cannot find other criminal acts of the "Garuda" pirates, they should be granted bail. However, considering that the situation is somewhat special this time, the navy is not small, and they will have to be locked up for two or three months.

If the Don side denies their relationship, Radu? The days of Khan and the others were not so easy, and to put it mildly, they were sentenced to one or two years of hard labor and fined. In the worst case, it is possible to see if they have any human lives or other criminal records on their hands, and then sentence them to prison terms ranging from a few years to decades according to the laws of the Star Alliance.

After listening to the female police officer's explanation, Tang Fang couldn't help but be a little surprised, no wonder there would be a flood of pirates in the Tianchao Star District, it turned out that in addition to factors such as geographical location and social environment, the lack of punishment for criminal behavior by the law is also an important reason.

The price of such a roadblock robbery is only a few years in prison, which is too light, if you want to shelve the Mengya Empire, it will take more than ten years of hard labor, if the robbery target is a nobleman, an upper-class person like an official, it is possible to be imprisoned for a lifetime. What's more, in sensitive periods such as the death of the emperor and the rebellion of the princes, it doesn't matter if you are wronged or not, you can directly pull it out and kill it with one shot.

But if you think about it, the Covenant has to do the same.

First, the internal forces of the Star Alliance are huge, the government agencies were born out of the old federation, and the constitution and judicial system are the same as before. Think of the infamous Morris? Griffin used the human body as a reality, ignoring the federal constitution and ethics, and carried out research on genetic modulation, thus cultivating the tragic "Morris" slave. For such a serious crime, the federal government only exiled him in ice, which shows the leniency of punishment in society at that time.

Second, the population of the Tianchao Star Region is already small, if this is killed, then it will also be killed. Yes, who will dare to come in the future? And, rather than killing them with one shot, wouldn't it be better to keep these criminals as free labor?

Thirdly, the Star Alliance is also unwilling to force the pirate forces into a hurry, after all, in addition to small pirate groups such as "Garuda", "Ogre", and "Shadow", there are many large and medium-sized pirate groups in the Tianchao Star Region, and everyone understands the truth that the lips are cold, once the government goes overboard, God knows if those large and medium-sized pirate groups will defect to the Phoenix Empire, the Silver Eagle Regiment, and even the stronghold forces, the current situation of the Star Alliance is not very good. There is a big enemy in front, a pack of wolves in the back, and there are many internal factions, if there is another group of pirates who pull back and fight guerrillas. Yes, just wait for the world to be in chaos. (To be continued......)
