Chapter 634: Seeing the Poor Dagger (Part II)
Turning a native tribe in the otherworld into the fifty-first state of Milicon is such a strange idea When ordinary people hear it, their first feeling is often fantastical and inconsequential, but Philips just raised his eyebrows, and said coldly without much expression on his face: "Your idea is very jumping, Doctor."
It's a pity that it turns out that those humans in the otherworldly realm are not much different if they are not evil spirits, and it is impossible for earthlings to become compatriots with the devil. β
"Mr. Philips, wisdom makes human beings out of the category of ordinary animals and become high, but at the same time, it also makes us have a distinction between good and evil," Zhang Lisheng smiled and said step by step: "The basis for distinguishing these two kinds of people is not the population, but the thought.
The Mongol Emperor in the Middle Ages once killed one-third of the population of Eurasia, and in the middle of the last century, the German Mustachioed FΓΌhrer sent millions of Jews into the gas chambers to kill them and make soap.
This is clearly untenable.
Besides, some of the people from the otherworldly realm who invaded the earth were just to fight back against our aggression, and strictly speaking, justice is not on our side..."
"Doctor, I'm not a college student who listens to your philosophy lectures anymore," Philips interrupted the young man in a cold voice, "I'm not the president of the Federation who can help you realize your 'big plan' to make tens of millions of savages citizens citizens of Millican, just the head of the Logistics Support Agency of the Ministry of Defense..."
"Mr. Philips, we Chinese people have two proverbs, one is 'people can't become fat in one bite';
One sentence is 'the current official is not as good as the current official'. Zhang Lisheng waved his hand vigorously. A shallow smile appeared on his face, "Since you don't like to be verbose, then I will directly explain that the request I made is naturally something you can do."
For example, in the name of the Logistics Support Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, please sign a formal contract for the purchase of military supplies with the Wuli tribe of the 'Sea Shrimp No. 2 World Realm'. β
Even if they are on the same planet, the procurement of military supplies between two countries must mean an unusually close relationship, which is one of the important criteria in the unspoken rules of international exchanges, such as Huaxia and Millican, even if they have established a so-called strategic partnership for more than ten years, but because of the exchanges involving the military industry, there has been zero. This proves that the two countries have always been in a state of confrontation.
No matter what kind of military exchanges the Federal Ministry of Defense has with the Otherworldly Native Tribes. Invisibly representing a kind of recognition between each other, Philips immediately grasped the sound reasonable request of the young man, and the deep meaning behind it, just now only slightly frowned and immediately locked deeply.
"Dr. Zhang. Do you know how unpredictable and controllable your request can be?"
"The gold reserves of the Federation totaled eight thousand one thousand tons. I guess most of it must have been transported to the Noahic realm. The smile on Zhang Lisheng's face disappeared without a trace, and he replied expressionlessly: "I don't know how much gold the government must keep as 'basic gold' in order to stabilize the monetary system;
I don't know what gold the Ministry of Defense needs to build a 'superweapon'. whether it will significantly exceed the military budget for national defense;
I wonder if the government has discovered a new gold mine in the Noahic realm... I don't know how many things I have to say, including my small request just now, and what the consequences will be in the future.
But I know that if my request is not met, your request will never be met, and perhaps you should think about it for a few days, or report back to the Secretary of Defense or even higher. β
"Doctor, can you make a decision on behalf of the Wuli tribe of the 'Sea Shrimp II World Realm'?" Philips was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.
This question is very delicate, and it can even be said to be full of pitfalls, but fortunately, Zhang Lisheng has already prepared the answer, "It is difficult for me to directly answer this question with yes or no.
Because of the birth of a wise, wise and powerful guardian spirit, the Wuli tribe has expanded from a small tribe to a territory of millions of square kilometers in just a few years, and even once appeared to unify the entire Hell Island chain.
Unfortunately, in the era of the resurrection of the gods, as the 'Wuli' became stronger, its enemies also became more and more powerful, whether it was the other rebellious Hell tribes or the so-called landlings, which made it difficult to cope, and the tribe itself, the resurrected gods and the earthly rulers also accumulated contradictions.
Now Wu Li needs a stable rear and a firm ally, and I think the Federation also needs it, so as I have a deep affection for these two countries or the power of power, and more importantly, I also have great interests involved, and I very much hope that they can form an alliance.
As for the gold obtained by the creditors of the LS Group in the 'Sea Shrimp II World Realm', it was all produced by my private gold mine, and I remember that I only used the calculation methods of the most common geometric figures such as circles, squares, triangles, etc., to exchange the gold mine from the tribal guardian spirits.
From now on, whether I am or not in 'Wuli', there are always natives who want to mine gold, don't think that primitive people don't have the spirit of contract, in fact, they pay more attention to their promises...
Oh, sorry, I accidentally took the topic too far, I mean, I may not be able to make any important decisions on behalf of the Wuli tribe, but because I focused on the spread of culture and the study of island creatures, I never asked about power struggles, but gradually gained the respect of ordinary Wuli people, the approval of secular rulers, and even the resurgent gods were very kind to me.
So I have a lot of influence in 'Wuli', and at the beginning of the expansion of the Wuli tribe, I used the air strike of the federal garrison to complete the occupation of 'Sea Shrimp B1 Island', and I have always had a good impression of the Federation.
In fact, if it weren't for the reckless attack of the Atlantis spaceship, the Earth garrison would not have been expelled at all, so it shouldn't be difficult to get it to form an alliance with the Federation, as for becoming the fifty-first state of the United States, it seems unlikely now, but the future is not completely hopeless, of course, this requires the efforts of many people..."
"Doctor, you're thinking too long-term, let's solve the problem in front of us first," Seeing that the black-haired young man beside him became more and more excited, with a longing expression on his face, Philips interrupted coldly: "Since the gold mine of the 'Sea Shrimp No. 2 World Realm' belongs to you, then if I agree to your request, what price can you trade it for me?"
"I will give you four hundred meters per ounce, a thousand tons in the first year, and ten percent in the next year, and the maximum trading volume will be set at 1,800 tons, and I will guarantee that I will not trade gold with any other company or individual in the federation except for the Logistics Support Bureau of the Ministry of Defense.
Of course, the Ministry of Defense must go to the 'Sea Shrimp II World Realm' to complete the transportation, and the gold I have sold to you must not be resold. Zhang Lisheng threw out his own conditions.
This condition is quite favorable, which means that the federal military can buy more than 70 billion gold with a real value of about 14 billion yuan without affecting the domestic monetary order, but Philips is obviously not satisfied.
"Doctor, the price for you to complete the transaction with the creditor is three hundred meters, now..."The black man said with an expressionless counteroffer, but he was directly choked by the young man, "Yes, but at that time, the LS Group under my name was in a financial crisis, and now it is operating well."
I'm a scientist, Mr. Philips, I'm not willing or good at bargaining, and I like to keep complex issues simple, always show your best sincerity when negotiating, it's up to you whether you accept it or not.
Okay, I've said everything I can say, and if you don't have anything else to do, I'll take my leave. β
"Doctor, you just explained your deep love for the Federation and the Wuli tribe, and now you are uncompromising for a hundred meters, aren't you too much like a politician?" Philips said expressionlessly as if he hadn't heard Zhang Lisheng's tactful eviction order.
"This is not a hundred meters, but thirty-five million hundred meters, I really want the Federation and Wu Li to form an alliance, but I am not a saint without selfish desires.
Maybe we'll wait until you're more sincere, Mr. Philips. Zhang Lisheng stood up and shrugged his shoulders and said, seeing that he was really leaving, the black man stopped the young man with a deep frown, "Good doctor, I accept your offer of four hundred meters of gold per ounce."
You can also immediately agree to sign a contract for the purchase of military supplies with the indigenous tribes of the 'Sea Shrimp II World Realm' in the name of the Logistics Support Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, but your annual gold supply must be increased to 12 million tons.
I can pay for the goods upfront. β
"Are you kidding, even the Minister of Defense of the United States does not have the authority to directly decide to sign a contract with such a huge amount of money and influence. Zhang Lisheng showed a shocked expression on his face for the first time, looked at the middle-aged black man in front of him again, and said in surprise.
"The term of office of the Federal Minister of Defense is no more than eight years, two consecutive presidential terms, and I will serve the people of the United States for life," Philips said coldly: "As long as you can promise to provide me with 12 million tons of gold every year, all the conditions just mentioned are not a problem." β
Staring at the cold face of the black man, a flash of inspiration flashed in the young man's heart, "Mr. Philips, the so-called Defense Logistics Support Bureau should not be the 51st District, right?"
Philips did not answer Zhang Lisheng's question, but showed a stiff smile that was more ugly than crying.
"Oh, it seems that you are a big man far beyond my imagination, Mr. Philips," the young man was stunned for a moment, and after a long silence, he smiled back at the black man, "OK, in that case I am willing to compromise, 1,200 tons is 1,200 tons, it is really hard to imagine that the demand for gold in the high-end military industry of the Federation is so great."
Edward, please help draft a trade contract now.
I called Charlie and asked him to organize people to accompany the officers of the mysterious Logistics Support Bureau of the Ministry of Defense tomorrow, no, in the afternoon, to the 'Sea Shrimp No. 2 World Realm' to make a deal. (To be continued......)
