Chapter 449 The Covenant's Position(1/2)
He felt that if he had changed his identities with Tang Fang, he was afraid that he would wake up happily when he was sleeping at this moment. Xxoo would have to add an extra clock to make you old ghosts reserved. What should you do now? You deserve it!
Corey Christian continued to say: "Brother Don, let me hide it from you. Just yesterday, a mineral manufacturer with a long-term business dealings with our 'Roamer Technology Consortium' came to me and wanted to ask me to help him with his years of friendship... He has a lot of minerals you want."
Tang Fang picked out a piece of tea that was stained on the corner of his mouth, flicked it into the trash can next to the tea table, and said, "I'm just saying, would you, a genuine businessman like you, come to visit me to apologize?"
"Hahaha..." Old Cory called out: "Brother Tang, I'm doing this for your own good."
"For my good?" Tang Fang looked at him, and there was a hint of shock in his eyebrows.
"Of course! Let me tell you the truth, this man is from the Phoenix Empire and he is willing to sell that batch of minerals to you at a lower price than two months ago."
After hearing this, Tang Fang couldn't help but frown, thought about it carefully, and finally felt relieved.
Although the Covenant and Phoenix Empire are not as powerful as fire, they are not as in love. Differences and disputes, and even small-scale accidents have long become normal.
If Star Covenant and Sulu and Monastery fight and get involved in the Four Kingdoms War between Charles Federation-Doranks Republic vs. Monastery Empire-Sulu Empire, it is hard to guarantee that the Phoenix Empire will not stab the knife in the back. At that time, what will happen to the minerals hoarded some time ago? The Phoenix Empire is a country, and the emperor has great power. If you may be targeted by some great nobles, you will definitely be cheated to death.
Furthermore, in the current "Babylonian" market, although mineral prices have not yet fallen, this is just a superficial result. Speculators are trying hard to hold on. If they throw straw up, they will collapse like dominoes.
And this so-called "straw" may be a pressure from the current situation, or a merchant who is not loyal and willing to surrender to "morning star casting".
Let the merchants be moral? That is naturally a joke. Just like the businessman from the Phoenix Empire, who knew that Tang would never easily compromise with speculators, he simply pushed the price to the limit, hoping that Tang would accept it. Once the transaction was reached, he could save the capital, and he would not care about the life or death of other merchants.
Tang Fang thought this man was quite courageous. So he exclaimed: "It's true that he is smart enough when he acts without any delay."
Corey Christian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This has nothing to do with shrewdness, it's just about whether it's well-informed. If I guess correctly, there will be a large number of promotional calls to bomb you continuously before tomorrow."
"How to say it?"
Old Corey did not answer positively, but asked: "Do you think this battle can be fought?"
"For hundreds of billions?" Tang Fang shook his head: "I'm afraid it's difficult!"
It is true that the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire are countries, but this does not mean that Colklaf I and Maysfield? Washington is a confused person. In the moment when the battle in the "Gampner War Zone" is in full swing, he will tear his face with the Star Covenant for just a few hundred billion star coins? How is it possible!
800 billion star coins are at most a semi-conventional fleet. Not to mention the distant future, as far as the forces like Duke Yadan, there are probably five fleets of troops that can be collected by selling iron. He is just a duke, and there are 18 people like Duke Yadan in Mengya. Not to mention that there are many princes on it. From this we can imagine how many war resources his Majesty, as the head of a country, possesses.
Not to mention 190 billion star coins, even 1900 billion is a drop in the bucket compared to a person of the level of Korklaf I. The reason why he stationed troops on the border is probably just a gesture, forcing the Star Alliance to surrender and earn some face internationally.
Thinking of this, Tang Fang suddenly realized that what he could think of was that those businessmen who were much smarter than him could not have imagined that since they could think of it, why did they choose to compromise with him? Could it be that some changes he didn't know about?
He raised his head and looked at Corey Christian with interest, waiting patiently for the merchant's answer.
"The focus of this issue is no longer on the attitudes of Sulu and Mongolia and Asia. The decision is currently in the hands of the Star Covenant, and the Star Covenant... wants to fight!"
Old Corey showed a sigh on his face: "Star Alliance has been silent for too long..."
He is a native of the Star Alliance. He naturally knows the humiliating history of the Star Alliance. As a citizen, who does not want his country to be strong, who does not want to be able to stand up straight and be a human being. As a country with universal values such as fairness, justice and freedom, he has been pressed, pressed and stepped on by the barbaric regimes like the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire, and spit on the Star Alliance from time to time. How could this feel good?
"The Star Alliance is going to fight?" Tang Fang was quite shocked. Such a force that was seeking to survive among the cracks of the countries was going to go to war with the imperial country. It was really shocking, and this was a bit inconsistent with the previous style of Star Alliance.
"Yes!" Old Corey confirmed again.
Tang Fang picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The tea is cold and the aroma is a little light.
Not long ago, he was wondering something, why did the top leaders of the Star Covenant have not yet come up with a handling opinion, and Byron has not received any more messages from Terry Ferdinand.
It turns out that Star Alliance is ready for war!
Claya came over to add tea. The steam stirred by boiling water into the cup was hazy. Tang Fang's face was undulating. The green tea water was swaying, and among the layers of ripples, he narrowed into a thin slit eye.
Old Cory continued to explain: "In fact, at the beginning, the majority of the lords and political figures in the Covenant Parliament accounted for, but later the words of Charles Federal President Antovanet touched the vast majority of the members."
"You also know that the Covenant's international status has always been very embarrassing. Although it is a country, it does not have complete sovereignty. The marginal territory is dominated by the strongholds stationed by the countries. There are pirates in the internal situation. The Covenant can only hide in several areas in the middle of the national territory, seeking survival in the cracks."
"This time, the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire jointly launched an attack, believing that the Star Covenant would still give in as much as before and compensate them for their economic losses... They were wrong, and they were very wrong. At a time when the situation in the "Gampna War Zone" was tight, what would you think if the Star Covenant, which is increasingly powerful, stabbed them in the back?"
"The Charles Federation and the Dolanx Republic have very generous conditions. As long as the Covenant joins hands with them to defeat the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire, they will not only withdraw their strongholds in the Covenant, but will also help the Covenant to fully regain national territory and enjoy the treatment that a sovereign state deserves."
"As for the Phoenix Empire, there should be no big deal if the Silver Eagle Group is restrained."
Old Corey thanked Claya and stared at Tang Fang's eyes: "What would you do if you were the president of the Star Alliance?"
"I will accept it without hesitation!"
Tang Fang smiled, laughing happily, so happy that Old Corey felt very strange. Did he really treat himself as the president of the Star Alliance, otherwise why would he show such an expression?
The captain was indeed happy because of the decision of the Covenant government, but not from the position of the President, he was happy for himself.
What was he doing so many things in "Babylon"? In addition to describing the situation in his heart bit by bit, another purpose was to mess up the water and mess up the relationship between the Covenant and the nations.
At the beginning, he did not want to use formal channels to collect cesium-containing minerals and iridium-containing minerals, as if he was silently prying out the corners of the government and fleeing the country, which was just in line with Captain Tang's style of conduct.
He is considering which mineral manufacturer to attack these days. Unexpectedly, the Star Alliance government has mixed up the water itself and solved the problem of inflated mineral prices. This is so sour...tsk tsk!
His smiling face bloomed at the mouth of the cup, with white hair as white as a cloud, emitting a faint fragrance.
A tea needle slowly slid down the bottom of the water, like a beautiful woman with long sleeves and good dancing.
"Tell that person. I've done this deal." Tang Fang put away his smile and took advantage of Claya's turn and leave, and pinched her upright little butt. The girl shivered and turned around and glared at him fiercely. Fortunately, the old Corey didn't see it because of the location, otherwise where would her face be put.
"Okay, I'll go back and notify him now."
Old Corey drank the tea in the cup with no meaning, got up and walked to Tang Fang, shook hands with him: "If there is no accident, I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning. Let's go to 'Alkesi' to sign the agreement with him."
Tang Fang frowned: "Do I have to go in person?"
Old Corey smiled: "Of course you don't have to go there in person, but when I came, I promised him that he would see Captain Tang, who was young but very legendary, with his own eyes. I think... you won't give me this face."
"Oh, I didn't expect that I have fans too?"
Old Corey's hand was a little tight, at least it was more important than the last time she met, which seemed very friendly.
"That's right, if I was 20 years younger, maybe I would... Oh, no, I'm already your fan now." Old Corey laughed, moved his left hand up and held Tang Fang's right hand tightly, shook it up and down for a while, and then let go: "Okay, let's say goodbye, see you tomorrow."
Tang Fang delivered it to the door: "Don't you stay for dinner?"
Corey Christian looked at the red sun hidden behind the lush green on the other end of the horizon and joked: "If you really want to keep me for dinner, you will send it to the door?"
After saying that, he turned around and waved his hand without looking back, stepping on the afterglow of the artificial sun, gradually moving along the bluestone road.
Without wind, the crabapple trees in the yard remain motionless.
Tang Fang walked down the steps and looked at the old Corey's back as he was stunned. Until the fragrance of flowers filled his nose, he realized that Claya had walked out of the living room at some point and was staring at him curiously with big eyes.
"What are you looking at? So trance?"
"Look at the beauty." Tang Fangheng glanced at her and turned around and walked into the living room.
The girl looked at the dark shadow at the end of the bluestone road and knew that it was old Corey. Then she looked at the European-style villa group opposite her. The sunset was painted on the milky white wall, and the glass window reflected a magnificent but not very dazzling.
She was very puzzled. Where was the beauty Tang Fang said?
"Aren't you coming in?" The captain's call came from the living room, and the girl could only take back Luye Xunfang's heart and turn back to the room.
"Help me call Tang Lin."
Claya found that his expression was a little strange. She didn't see the beauty at all excitedly, but instead became a little squinting.
She didn't ask much and walked up the second floor quickly. In a short while, the two of them walked down the stairs one by one.
Tang Lin's eyes were a little confused, and he thought he hadn't woken up yet after nap.
Claya didn't say anything, picked up the empty cup on the table and flicked into the kitchen.
"Come on Old Corey and keep an eye on him." Tang Fang sat up from the sofa and summoned a black suitcase.
Tang Lin's eyes shone with light and his sleepiness disappeared. He didn't ask much, but agreed, lifted the black suitcase with harsh environmental protective clothing and pushed the door out of the villa, and walked quickly along the bluestone road.
Claya walked out of the kitchen and sat next to Tang Fang. He grabbed the girl's hand and it was a little cold. There was still a light trace of water left behind in the nails.
"You shouldn't do this, I feel sorry for the high accommodation fee."
Claya knew that he actually wanted to say, "I feel sorry for you."
She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled sweetly. She was so happy that she curled her legs on the sofa, rested her head on Tang Fang's legs, and watched from bottom to top as he grew a few stubble.
"Why did you ask Tang Lin to monitor Old Corey? Isn't he a good relationship with you?"
Tang Fang did not speak, his eyes moved from the girl's cheek to the window. There, the setting sun had passed. A dull starlight flashed, and the night fell quietly, just like the hearts of people being changed bit by bit by bit by time.
He didn't say his considerations after all, because Claya didn't need to know too much, and that would not do her good.
…………
After dinner, Linglong, Yingluo and others went out for a walk. Tang Fang sat alone in the living room waiting for Tang Lin to return.
Corey Christian said it was right. During this period, several calls came to the hotel reception desk and asked him for his name.
Tang Fang did not answer. When the soft and cowardly voice of the front desk lady sounded for the third time, he said something. "Disturbate me to rest again, and go to your manager." Then, the world finally became quiet.
At about 9:00, the door opened from outside with a very light footsteps at the time of "Air Garden". Tang Lin's figure appeared in a dim living room.
He walked to the sofa and sat down, looking at Tang Fang who was sinking into the darkness on his left. He knew that his elder brother was very unhappy, and he also knew the reason.
So he didn't say anything. After sitting for a while, he got up and pulled open the black bag, opened the built-in processing unit of the protective clothing in the harsh environment, sent the data to the display device hanging on the wall, and then turned onto the stairs.
A few seconds later, the light spread out from the surface of the monitor, illuminating the entire living room like a tide, illuminating Tang Fang's gloomy face on the sofa, and a cup of tea on the coffee table, which was already cold.
Old Corey appeared in the middle of the picture, and there were three people sitting on the sofa opposite him, one black and two white, about 50 years old, with a calm and restrained temperament, but his eyes were sharp and he burst out with sword-like light.
"Is the matter done?" The speaker was the slightly taller among the two white men.
