Chapter 266: Earth United Fleet
Chapter 266 Earth United Fleet
At the special press conference of Quantum Company, Andre and his grandson Charlie appeared on the rostrum together, and reporters from all walks of life immediately began to make noise, and the flashing lights kept flashing.
The two sat down surrounded by bodyguards, and Andre smiled slightly, and pointed at a beautiful blonde female reporter with his hand, signaling that she could ask questions.
"I'm a reporter from the BBC, may I ask if there are rumors that Quantum will fully support the company's former director Mr. Wu Long to participate in the general election, is this true, and what kind of strength will Quantum Company support?" The female reporter asked.
Andre smiled slightly: "Wu Long is one of the founders of the Quantum Company, has rich management experience, and has dealt with other alien civilizations many times, and now is an important stage for the Earth Federation to buy the interstellar era, and it is necessary for a leader like Wu Long to lead the Federation forward, so I and all my colleagues in the Quantum Company fully support Wu Long as the new President of the Federation." ”
"As for the strength of support, Quantum will do its best within its capabilities." Andrei said firmly.
The female reporter asked the bottom of the question: "Quantum Company is currently the largest enterprise in the Federation, and its scale is unparalleled, can you specifically say in what aspects your company will support Mr. Wu Long?" ”
Andre smiled: "As we all know, the current situation of the Earth Federation in the Pan-Human Alliance is very delicate, although we have joined the alliance in name, but in terms of technology, culture, these necessary conditions are far behind the average level of the alliance, if Wu Long can be elected, the quantum company will come up with a special fund to help the Federation build its own starfleet." ”
"What starfleet?"
"Belonging to the Earth Federation's own fleet"
"Oh my God, this is incredible"
Andrei's understatement caused an uproar in the audience, and all the reporters couldn't hold back their excitement and asked questions loudly, completely ignoring the press center's prohibition of loud noise.
For so many years, every earthling has longed for their hometown to be recognized by the entire alliance, after all, the huge gap with alien civilizations has been stimulating people's hearts all the time, everyone was born on this planet, who wouldn't want their hometown to get better and better.
A fleet can not only defend the safety of the earth, its symbolic meaning is incomparable, after all, a planet that claims to have entered the interstellar age does not have its own fleet, which is unreasonable.
Andre waved his hand to signal all the reporters present to be quiet, and then motioned for the female reporter to continue asking questions.
The blonde beauty didn't expect that the quantum company would be able to make such a big deal in order to support Wu Long, and she was a little flustered for a while, after all, a fleet not only costs a lot of money, but also the cost of its maintenance is astronomical, and in this world where the purchasing power of the federal dollar is extremely weak, even the most humble warship will cost a lot of money.
After all, the blonde female reporter has been engaged in this job for many years, and her experience can be described as old, she quickly woke up and asked: "The news that Quantum Corporation assisted the Earth Federation in establishing Starfleet is indeed too shocking, can you tell us the specific details?" ”
The reporters in the audience agreed that in their opinion, the newsworthiness of a fleet was far greater than that of others, and that understanding the mystery was what they cared about most.
Andrei gave Charlie a color, and Charlie immediately took out a stack of materials that had been prepared from his briefcase and distributed them to all the reporters.
In fact, the so-called help of the Earth Federation to establish a fleet is just to change the name of the current company's fleet, called the joint fleet of the Quantum Company and the Earth Federation, and if the federal government needs it, it can also temporarily mobilize these warships for its own use.
As for sending the fleet he worked so hard to build to the Federation, Xia Fei never considered it, anyway, the reason why Xia Fei formed the fleet was not only the company's business needs, but also had the purpose of defending against foreign invasions, the earth is his hometown, Xia Fei also hopes that the earth can be stable, and now adding the words federal government to the name of the fleet will not change any status quo, and the control of the fleet is still in Xia Fei's hands.
In order to show its sincerity, Quantum will first take out two Gadari Chafalcon-class frigates and hang them in the name of the government, which is like a title in traditional commerce, just selling the federal government a face.
All of this must happen under the condition that Wu Long becomes the president of the Federation, if Wu Long unfortunately loses the election, Xia Fei will never cooperate with those dirty politicians again, and there is even a choice of moving the company as a whole in his plan, of course, this is only an extreme situation, even if others ascend to the presidency, Xia Fei will pull him down as soon as possible.
What is determined must be done, this is Xia Fei's creed, in order to achieve his goal, he will not care about the lives of one or two politicians.
"I'm a reporter from CNN, and I noticed that in this plan, Quantum will hand over the current fleet to the federal government in installments, these warships are worth a lot of money, is your company willing to give up a full-fledged fleet?" A reporter with glasses asked.
Andre nodded and said: "Your question is very good, I can give you an accurate answer, Quantum Company is not only an enterprise, but also a responsible enterprise, for the current situation of the Earth Federation, Quantum Company is also very worried, as long as it can make its hometown stronger, what can a fleet count?" Quantum Corporation is and will work hard for the development of the Earth Federation, not just for the purpose of making money."
Andre's words were impassioned, and the reporters present were all moved, in fact, how did they know that Xia Fei has never been the master of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles, and the so-called delivery of the fleet to the Federation in installments is conditional, and if you change someone else, don't want to take even a dime from Xia Fei's pocket.
Besides, the so-called installment is not Xia Fei's final say, as long as Wu Long becomes the president, who can manage it when the time comes to sign an indefinite contract?
Thinking further afield, Xia Fei didn't create the Quantum Company for a small fight, his goal was still in a higher place, a guard-level fleet was far from meeting his requirements, and in the future he would have to form a cruiser fleet, a battle fleet, and even a flagship force.
People can never only care about immediate interests, Xia Fei seems to have made some concessions today, but in fact, he is planning the overall situation for a more distant future.
The press conference ended smoothly, and the next day, the global media unanimously welcomed Wu Long as president, and praised Quantum Company, which only needed a small price to make a free advertisement, which further increased the prestige of Quantum Company, and by the way, it could also contribute to Wu Long's campaign.
In the most inconspicuous place in the newspaper, there was a tofu block that reported the death of former President Muratti, and the people had long hated this incompetent politician, and some people applauded it loudly.
In this atmosphere of hustle and bustle and infinite yearning for the future, the news of Murati's death is like a pebble thrown into the sea, which disappears without a trace in an instant.
