Chapter Twenty-Five: What People Want!

A two-day voyage from the Qingxue Republic, a federal colony of Earth, the planet Tarim.

Andromeda Transport Group, employee living quarters.

As the largest transportation company in this star field, the Andromeda Group has a super airport with an area of 1 million square kilometers on the plateau of Tarim to moor and maintain the company's huge cargo ships.

Millions of company employees and their families live here, forming a thriving city of immigrants.

The navigator Huo Shanhe finally went home, and he rang the doorbell in the early hours of the morning with his luggage on his back.

"Daddy! Father! ”

Opening the door, Huo Shanhe's little daughter pounced in an instant, threw herself into Huo Shanhe's arms, and her little face was affectionately attached to her father's unshaven cheeks.

In order to wait for her father to come back, she was only seven years old and did not sleep all night, staring out of the gate all the time, and her sleepy upper and lower eyelids kept fighting.

Mining shipping is a hard job, and Huo Shanhe only makes an average trip home every three months, so the daughter cherishes the precious time she spends with her father.

"You're back, I'll give you a hot meal, and there's a cold beer in the fridge." Huo Shanhe's wife got up and said with a smile.

"Hehe, my wife still understands me, I've been out for more than four months, I really miss you guys, come, kiss one!"

While talking, Huo Shanhe was about to pull and pull with his wife, looking impatient, and there were small movements in his hands.

Scold~

Huo Shanhe's wife's face turned red all of a sudden, and she quickly pushed away his unruly hand and said, "You dead ghost, Yaya is still there!" Drink first, and then wait until the girl sleeps. ”

Huo Shanhe nodded heavily and kissed his daughter's face, "Do you want to accompany your father for supper?" ”

"Yes!" The daughter raised her right hand and said, "Mom stewed a lot of braised pig's trotters, but she didn't let me eat them, so I waited for you to come back." ”

"That's good! Let's have a late-night snack together. ”

Huo Shanhe laughed and sat down on the sofa with his daughter in his arms.

But just as his butt touched the sofa cushion, the soap opera on the light screen suddenly stopped, and the picture became the center of the live TV station.

"Now inserting an urgent news, we have just received news from the Federal Military Department that due to the sudden declaration of war by the Moro Empire on the Qingxue Republic, the 3.5 billion expatriates living in the Qingxue Republic of the Federation are in danger of war."

"The military department has issued an emergency mobilization order to go to the Qingxue Republic at full speed to transfer the expatriates, but due to the limited number of ships in the military department, it is difficult to evacuate all compatriots, so I hope to find volunteers and volunteer ships in the area of the federation near the Qingxue Republic, and follow the fleet of the military department into the Qingxue Republic together to undertake the evacuation work."

"According to the security warning provided by the military department, this evacuation operation is unprecedented in scale, and it is necessary to bear the risk of war, and the military department cannot guarantee the safety of all volunteers..."

Swish~

When Huo Shanhe saw this news, he jumped up from the sofa, put the girl on the sofa, rushed to the door, and picked up the luggage that he hadn't had time to open.

"Wife! I'm leaving! Huo Shanhe shouted at the kitchen.

Huo Shanhe's wife was wearing an apron and rushed out of the kitchen with a shovel, "You just came back and left!?" ”

"It's too late! Didn't you watch the TV that we diasporas in the Qingxue Republic need help! ”

"Well, be careful!"

Bang~

Huo Shanhe closed the door and rushed downstairs in one go, almost hitting a thin middle-aged man in the dark.

Huo Shanhe fixed his eyes and saw that it was Qiao Laosan, who was the electrician of the ship's mechanical group, and he had just returned home like him.

"You've seen the news, too." Huo Shanhe asked.

"Not really, so I came out with my luggage." Qiao Laosan said hatefully: "My damn mother-in-law actually stopped me, and said that if I dare to leave, I will divorce me!" I'm so! ”

"It's no wonder that we've been out for more than four months and just come back." Huo Shanhe comforted Qiao Laosandao.

"You don't talk for her!" Qiao Laosan said angrily: "Our compatriots are about to die, do you still have a bit of humanity in this girl!?" Marrying her is really my Qiao San blind! ”

"She can't leave this time! Leave! Be sure to leave! I'm completely cut off from her when I come back this time! ”

Huo Shanhe patted Qiao Laosan on the shoulder and said, "Don't talk about this yet, it's true to hurry back to the boat." ”

"That's right! I don't know the same as that inhuman! Qiao Laosan said angrily.

The two of them stepped out of the elevator and were immediately stunned by the scene in the community.

Lights were constantly lit in the middle of the night, and one by one hurried figures, carrying luggage, rushed out of the stairs, and some people were so anxious that they didn't even have time to put on their clothes, and they were shirtless, with their clothes tucked under their armpits.

"The compatriots of the Qingxue Republic need help! Get out of here! Get on board! A fat black man with a loud voice shouted loudly in the community.

Looking into the distance, the city was boiling in just a few minutes in the middle of the night!

All the lights are turned on, lighting up the entire night sky!

The merchant opened his shop and transported the food and water from the store to the direction of the airport.

Ordinary citizens took the extra bedding and food at home and sent them to the airport overnight.

When Qiao Laosan and Huo Shanhe came to the vicinity of the airport, they found that a large number of colleagues had already gathered, the ground crew played like their lives to overhaul the spacecraft, and the energy team filled each cargo ship with fuel, and these people spontaneously mobilized without any orders!

"Look at the light curtain! The chairman is going to speak! ”

Swish~

I don't know who shouted loudly, and immediately, a huge light curtain spread out over the airport, and the people at the airport and in the city all raised their heads.

In the light curtain is the chairman of the mining company, a gray-haired old man, his face is full of pleats, his shirt is snow-white, straight, and he wears a black bow tie, with a gentlemanly demeanor.

"Hello fellow Betastar Mining Company, I'm Chairman Bruce."

"Now, on behalf of the Board of Directors, I read out the following decision."

"First, all ships under the Andromeda Transportation Group will cease all commercial operations from the moment they receive the notice."

"Second, all ships under the company's banner should get in touch with the Federal Military Department in the shortest possible time, follow the warships of the Military Department, enter the territory of the Qingxue Republic, and assist in the evacuation of overseas Chinese."

"Third, all ships under the company's umbrella, if they have been loaded and are in transit, should immediately dump all the goods in the hold of the ship to provide the necessary space for the resettlement of expatriates, and all losses shall be borne by the company."

"Fourth, once all ships under the company enter the territory of the Qingxue Republic, they should obey the dispatch and command of the military department, and if they encounter an enemy attack during the evacuation operation, the loss of life and property caused by this will also be borne by the company."

"Fifth..."

Suddenly, the elderly Chairman Bruce put down the speech that his secretary had prepared for him, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then he opened his eyes, and the employees who were waiting for the chairman's order suddenly found that this highly respected old man was already in tears.

In a hoarse, deep voice, Bruce said, "I'm sorry, but I really can't continue to read from the script, because my heart aches at the moment, and I am deeply disturbed by the suffering that our people are about to suffer. ”

"In fact, I, the other eight directors of the company, as well as all the shareholders, have already made the final decision, as the largest long-distance transportation group close to the border of the Qingxue Republic, we will fully undertake this evacuation operation! Even if you go bankrupt, you don't hesitate to do it! ”

When he said the last few words, the old man's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and he was almost shouting with his own life!

"I don't care how expensive the cargo is on board at the moment, no matter where the cargo is going to go, no matter what the compensation needs to be subscribed after the loss of the goods!"

"Anyway, I don't care about anything! Now, all the cargo ships, industrial barges, and bulk carriers under the company's umbrella will dump all the goods you are carrying on the spot! Leave not a single one behind! Then follow the military headquarters to the Qingxue Republic and bring back all our compatriots! ”

"No amount of money can buy the lives of our compatriots! I only hate that I am now old and unable to drive a cargo ship in person, so this evacuation operation, please leave it to you! ”

Swish~

Chairman Bruce stood up, his body trembled slightly, and bowed deeply to all the employees of the company at the camera screen.

This move shocked everyone!

He raised his head, stroked his sparse silver hair, and said, "I am not ordering you as the chairman of the company at this moment, but as a federal citizen, I am asking you!" ”

"Please do everything in your power to bring our compatriots home safely!"

"Please!"

......

Andromeda Transport Company, Board of Directors.

Bruce finished speaking, sat down in his seat, and wiped his red eyes with a tissue from his secretary.

"Bruce, you're doing a good job!"

"yes, this is the most inspiring speech I've ever heard in my life."

"I believe that my colleagues in the company will understand us, and in addition, I have asked the finance department to count the losses this time."

A round-faced and fat director shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, do you still use statistics?" We're going to go bankrupt. ”

Ha ha~

Hahahaha~

In the boardroom, the group of old people were not depressed, but laughed one after another.

"If you are bankrupt, you will be bankrupt, the money will be gone, and then you will earn it, the house is gone, and there is a nursing home to live in.

"Yes, the mall is like a battlefield, and after fighting for a lifetime, I can finally have a good time."

"That's right, I was still worried about how much property to divide among my three sons and two daughters, but now it's okay, if you have the ability, you can go out and fight by yourself, and you don't have to live in the shadow of my old man."

The directors said it very easily, it seems that they did not take the bankruptcy liquidation too seriously, but because they made this important decision, these old people are deeply proud.

Bruce frowned, sighed and said, "We actually don't have anything, a handful of people who are about to enter the ground." ”

"I'm just worried about the company's 1.2 million employees, they are still young, they have parents to take care of, and wives and daughters to support, and if we go bankrupt, they will lose their jobs, and I'm really sorry for them."

The board of directors has become depressed again, and millions of people will be implicated in the company's bankruptcy, leaving these old men feeling guilty.

Suddenly~

A young female secretary, holding a tablet computer, rushed into the board of directors in a panic.

"Don't panic, what's going on?" Bruce said, looking up.

"Chairman, Planet Mining Company has just sent an urgent call!" The female secretary swallowed a mouthful of spit and said anxiously.

"Planet Mining is the company's largest customer, and we are now throwing their goods into space, so we should have gotten the news to ask us for an explanation." One of the directors touched his head and said with a wry smile.

"Read." Bruce rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice.

The female secretary read in an excited voice: "Planet Mining Company has learned that your company is going to the Qingxue Republic to fully assist the federal army in evacuating overseas Chinese, and for this reason, our company solemnly declares that our company's goods dumped by your company due to assisting in the evacuation of overseas Chinese do not need any compensation from your company!" ”

"What!?"

"They don't want compensation!"

"What's going on? Keep reading! The directors were taken aback and sat up straight.

The female secretary continued: "Planet Mining Company, infinite admiration for your company's benevolence and righteousness! We are proud to work with a responsible and conscientious business partner like yours! All my colleagues urgently hope to continue to cooperate with your company in the future! Mountains and rivers are long, and the earth is long! There is a spirit in the heavens, bless my nation! ”

"The company's major customer, Precision Casting Company, also sent a telegram, also stating that we do not need to compensate for the loss! We will also strengthen cooperation with us in the future! ”

"Violet Daily Chemical Company, Rover Chemical Company, Surging Power, Beyer Battery, a lot! Many of the company's customers sent a statement at the first time, and they did not want compensation for our abandoned goods! ”

"Rheinland Steel Group called, if we continue to order transport ships from their group in the future, they will take the initiative to reduce the price by 10%, and give priority to our orders!"

"Oh my God, and many, many, many more, the company's servers are receiving messages from major business partners every minute, and they are all encouraging us! Support us! ”

"I'm so impressed! We don't have to go bankrupt! I'm sorry, but I'm really impressed! ”

The young female secretary could no longer hold back her tears of excitement in front of the directors and cried out loud.

The elders of the board of directors also had shocked faces.

They are ready to go bankrupt, but their fellow business partners in the Earth Federation have given them unprecedented support!

At this moment, all the directors suddenly realized that they were not fighting alone! Everyone in the Earth Federation stands with them! Right behind them!

"God bless me Earth Federation!" Bruce stood up trembling and shouted in a hoarse, agitated voice.
