Americaka.

Inside the Pentagon in California.

Victor's face was a little strange at this time, but he still agreed to call him.

After receiving the dedicated hotline.

Wu Wei's laughing voice sounded from the microphone: "Mr. Victor, don't come unharmed?" ”

"Without further ado, what do you want to say?" Victor was unceremonious.

"It really saddens me that Mr. Victor treats his friends like this! Originally, I wanted to tell you a very important piece of information, but it seems that it is not necessary now. Wu Wei said in a distressed tone.

Victor still looked indifferent: "Hehe, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, otherwise I will hang up the phone." ”

"Alright! It seems that you don't need this news, you need to know this news, but at least it can reduce your losses by hundreds of billions, I hung up the phone. ”

Victor was taken aback, and he couldn't care about setting up the score, so he hurriedly asked, "Slow!" What are the conditions? ”

"Conditions? We're old friends, and it's hurtful to talk about conditions, so let's forget it! Wu Wei replied casually.

Fakyu! Victor secretly scolded Wu Wei shamelessly in his heart, but he still held back his anger: "Say it! For friends, America will not let you suffer. ”

"Oh? Are you sure? ”

"I'm sure we can consider it as long as your conditions are right."

"Then I'll be straightforward, our company is developing island tourism projects recently, you don't have a lot of islands in the Pacific Ocean, our company wants to buy a few small islands."

Victor was silent.

"Our company wants to buy, Gilbert Islands, Ellis Islands, the price is absolutely fair, how about 500 gold yuan for an island and reef?"

"Mr. Wu Wei, this joke is not funny at all." Victor replied in a deep voice.

"Are you sure you don't want to sell? After this village, there is no such shop. Wu Wei reminded with a smile.

Victor fell silent again, thinking about Wu Wei's words and the meaning behind them.

After all, there is no reason for Homo sapiens to call the hotline for no reason, let alone to entertain him, obviously there must be a reason behind this incident.

But what is the matter?

Hundreds of billions of losses?

What causes hundreds of billions of losses?

Wait! Victor suddenly had a guess in his mind, could it be...... He asked in a deep voice, "Is it an earthquake?" ”

"What? What is Mr. Victor talking about? I don't seem to understand. Wu Wei said questioning words in an affirmative tone.

And Victor also heard the answer at this time.

That is, Homo sapiens already knew that America or the Free Commonwealth was about to have a major earthquake, but the other party just didn't tell America the specific information.

"On another condition! Those two islands can't be sold to you. ”

Wu Wei calmly reminded: "Why bother, anyway, those two islands will definitely be finished this time, sell them to our company, you will make a lot of money." ”

Hearing this, Victor's expression became more solemn.

Obviously, he heard the implication of Wu Wei's words, that is, in this earthquake, the Gilbert Islands and the Ellis Islands were seriously affected.

The only possibility he can think of now is a mega-tsunami caused by a massive earthquake that will submerge the two archipelagos.

This information made Victor even more restless.

"Since Mr. Victor has no interest in selling those two islands, then I won't bother, if you change your mind, you can call my hotline at any time, but you better hurry!"

After speaking, Wu Wei hung up the phone directly.

Needing time to think and report the matter to the Council of the City on the Mountain, Victor didn't dwell on the phone.

He quickly cleared his mind and quickly consulted with experts from the seismic monitoring department.

Although Wu Wei provided very few clues, he was able to analyze the areas where earthquakes could occur.

Based on information about the inundation of the Gilbert Islands and the Ellis Islands, he deduced that the area where the earthquake occurred should be off the west coast of North America.

According to earthquake experts, there are two fault zones on the west coast of North America, namely the Aleutian Fault Zone in Alaska and the Cascadia Fault Zone near California.

Considering the information that hundreds of billions could be lost, he ruled out the deserted Aleutian fault zone.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the earthquake will occur in the Cascadia Fault Zone near California.

But knowing this news is not of much use.

The reason is that there is no exact time and place, and you can't let all the people of California and Washington State leave the coast for a few months, right?

The West Coast of North America is very important now, because this is the core trade route between North America and Northeast Asia, and there is certainly no way to interrupt it for a few months.

What's more, what if Homo sapiens deliberately misled him? Or did the earthquake happen in Toying?

As long as Homo sapiens does not provide an accurate time and place for a day, then America will have to worry about the day.

Victor with the analysis report in hand, quickly traveled to Seattle, and Thomas in the local? Morgan met secretly.

Inside a safe house in an underground bunker.

"A big earthquake?" Thomas frowned: "Is the situation true?" ”

Victor shook his head: "I don't know, after all, we don't have earthquake prediction technology, but Homo sapiens shouldn't deceive us." ”

Putting down the papers in his hand, Thomas had a headache.

It's not that he is worried about the earthquake, after all, even if he knows about this kind of thing in advance, it is difficult to completely avoid the loss.

The real headache for him now is whether to sell the Gilbert Islands and Ellis Islands to Homo sapiens and then get accurate information about the earthquake.

Although the two islands are members of the Free Commonwealth, their core rights are firmly in the hands of the Americans.

Is it worth it just to do this?

Given the combined land area of the two archipelagos, which are less than 1,000 square kilometres, their maritime exclusive economic zones are nearly 5 million square kilometres.

Moreover, these two archipelagos are the transportation hub islands connecting North America to Oceania.

Once the two archipelagos were sold to Homo sapiens, there would be a chain of islands between North America and Oceania.

For Homo sapiens, after acquiring the two archipelagos, the company will be able to move between Southeast Asia and South America without hindrance.

Thomas hurriedly convened the Board of Governors of the Hilltop City to hold a video conference with the other directors.

After hearing the news, the directors also had a lot of discussions.

"Thomas, what's your idea?" James? Rockefeller asked, biting on his cigar.

Thomas said some of his thoughts: "If we don't promise Homo sapiens now, then they will definitely not come to us to cooperate in the future, we don't have early warning technology at all, and it will be very troublesome in the future." ”

"But it's too dangerous to promise them that our forces in the Pacific will be split in two." DuPont reminded.

Thomas continued, "I know, so we have to find a way to negotiate with Homo sapiens to demilitarize the two archipelagos, while also retaining our freedom of navigation rights, plus Homo sapiens to provide long-term seismic services. ”

"Is that so?"

"If that's the case, it's not unacceptable."

After all, Homo sapiens' earthquake prediction service is indeed very powerful, and by getting long-term earthquake prediction services, they are not too much of a loss.

After a heated discussion.

The Council of the City on a Hill finally made a decision.
