That's right.Jiang Chen said frankly.

He did not hide the strength of NAC because there was no need for that.

When the NAC flag floats over Jia City, those survivors, merchants and mercenaries who have passed by here will naturally bring this powerful and unfamiliar name to the entire wasteland.

While he was observing Kong Qian, Kong Qian also observed him.

I feel danger from you.

Can I understand this as a compliment to me?Jiang Chen said in a joking tone as he raised his legs.

sure.Our merchants are all over the country, and there are very few forces in the wasteland that can scare us.The Northern Union District is counted as one, and you can count as one too.Kong Qian said with a smile.

Because of my guns?

Because of your ambition.Kong Qian stared at Jiang Chen's eyes tightly.

This behavior is very rude in friendly talks, but he still does.

He tried to find something in Jiang Chen's eyes that could prove his guess, but the fact was that he did, because Jiang Chen did not hide his ambitions at all.

How can I see it?Jiang Chen smiled.

Layout from this base.After moving his butt, Kong Qian looked around at the decoration of the room and the office.Generally, people who are fanatical and persistent in order have a high pursuit of the quality of life of themselves and their neighbors.Of course, what is most intuitively reflected is the name of the NAC.New Asia Cooperation Organization?Good name.

Feeling restless?Jiang Chen just asked a few questions about Kong Qian's savvy comments.

That's right.Kong Qian said bluntly that our businessmen are considering a problem.If you pull out this nail in the middle of the road, who can guarantee that you will not move your feet from Jia City to Hangzhou?

So your proposal?Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

Let Jia City become our buffer zone.Without the road, our businessmen can develop shallow seas or go to Taihu Lake.But without this nail, we may not be able to sleep peacefully.Kong Qian looked at Jiang Chen's eyes and suggested seriously.

This is impossible.Jiang Chen refused without hesitation, even if we don’t take the initiative, the mutants will attack us in winter.By then they will occupy the time, and it is difficult to guarantee that the war will not burn the Taipu River.I will not use short-term peace to bet on inevitable wars.

We can contribute to help you build Yanhe Fortress.Kong Qian stretched out a finger and said seriously, "Five hundred thousand sub-crystals, as long as you promise not to march westward."

Jiang Chen was not moved at all about his proposal.

That's a pity that we have raised two million sub-crystals by issuing war bonds.

Negotiations were deadlocked.

Kong Qian and Jiang Chen looked at each other and fell into silence.

After a moment, he suddenly smiled and said.

Do you know why mutants get so much armed?

Why?Jiang Chen asked indifferently.

According to intelligence, a group of migrated from the Northern Union District, a group called the Twilight Church is providing logistical support to them.Kong Qian said with a smile.

This information is a bit outdated. Last time the church sent Liu Shishi to assassinate, Jiang Chen had already pried out the conspiracy about the church from her mouth in a special way, and understood that the man named Boyu provided help to the mutants.

In fact, it is not difficult to infer this point. Those mutants are obviously weak in industrial capabilities, but they hold heavy machine guns, even artillery and other heavy firepower weapons.

He said that no one supported him and didn't believe Jiang Chen was beaten to death.

However, from Kong Qian's smiling expression, Jiang Chen read another meaning.

Are you threatening me?Looking at his eyes, Jiang Chen asked playfully.

I haven't said anything yet.But since we are businessmen organizations, we reserve the right to invest in any valuable project.Kong Qian spread his hands out.

Jiang Chen sneered.

Haha, can you admit that you are so obvious?

You're playing with fire.

I am looking for the possibility of cooperation between the two parties.Kong Qian corrected without giving in.

Jiang Chen suddenly stood up.

A hint of nervousness flashed in Kong Qian's eyes for a moment, but he quickly regained his calmness.

If you think we can prevent our purge of Jiashi City mutants by funding mutants, then you can try it.Jiang Chen walked up to him and looked down at his eyes, but I tell you clearly if you really want to help the mutants.

Being so overwhelmed by this momentum, Kong Qian couldn't help but hold his breath, waiting for the next sentence of the dictator.

Jiang Chen grinned and spit out the sentence Kong Qian least wanted to hear.

That's war.

The atmosphere in the office solidified instantly, but the solidified atmosphere quickly dissipated with Jiang Chen's next sentence.

Of course, I believe with your foresight, you will definitely not make such a stupid choice.

His eyes shook for a moment, but Kong Qian finally nodded hesitantly.

Very good, then welcome back to the negotiating table.Jiang Chen said with a smile, then sat back on the sofa.

After the pressure was lifted, Kong Qian slowly took a breath of fresh air.

At this time, he suddenly realized that his back was soaked in cold sweat.

……

The negotiations finally ended in a peaceful atmosphere.

Jiang Chen did not intend to discuss the details of the autumn military operation with him, but instead talked to him about how to cooperate on trade routes after occupying Jia City.

Although the war has not started yet, Jiang Chen has obviously regarded the mutant's territory as his own pocket.

Kong Qian still expressed concerns about Jiang Chen's sphere of influence that would border Hangzhou after he occupied Jia City.But in the face of Jiang Chen's tough attitude, he had no choice.

After reaching an agreement on the trade routes, the setting of mid-way supply stations and outposts, Kong Qian hurriedly said goodbye.

Seeing Kong Qian leave, Tang Yan walked in.

Why not detain him?

Because it doesn't make sense.Jiang Chen yawned and waved his hand and said, "The loose political system is so annoying. Even if you kill its leader, it can choose another one for you after a meeting."In other words, such a leader is a mascot and other existence.When I shook hands with him, I knew he was not a professional businessman.

Professional businessmen will not touch guns and find calluses. Rather than saying that he is a president, he is the spokesperson for a group of businessmen to push them to the front desk.

You don’t seem to be worried about Hangzhou’s reaction?Tang Yan asked.

They need a market, and we have the largest market in the entire Suzhou and Hangzhou province.It's safe or as crystal, they have to make a choice, and I'm sure they will eventually choose the latter.What's more, my attitude towards the businessmen in the Sixth District also comforted their emotions.Even if the NAC takes over defense, the property will not suffer any loss... Most businessmen will definitely think so.Jiang Chen got up and walked to the desk.

At this time, a knock on the door sounded outside the office.

Please come in.

Wang Qing came in, and she looked very serious.

Marshal, news came from the Sixth Block that the recent trend of heterogeneity activity in the suburbs of the city has been frequent.Many mutant cockroaches, mutant mice and other heterogeneous species also show strong aggressiveness. Generally speaking, these heterogeneous species usually do not actively attack survivors... There are rumors that Shanghai is brewing a second wave of heterogeneous species.

A heterogeneous tide?Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

He had never experienced the so-called alien tide, but he heard that the thing was terrible.

In the early years, the World United Organization had not launched colonial ships, and a tide of alien species broke out in Shanghai.

It is said that the former government troops stationed in the scientific research institute near the city center were driven out of the city by those violent alien species.

It is said that the Sixth Block also suffered a significant impact at that time, but fortunately, with the equipment left by the World United Organization, it finally resisted the impact of the alien tide.

It was also at that time that the Sixth District established the rule of the ten-member committee.

But at this time...

Wang Qing nodded.

Let Wang Zhaowu pay attention, his side is closer to the city center.I will give him permission to open and close the door of the shelter and allow him to lead the residents on the ground to withdraw into the shelter when necessary.In addition, you should be responsible for raising the shelter energy reserves to 100 fuel rods.Jiang Chen instructed.

clear.Wang Qing nodded.

The time span of opening of each shelter is very large, and no one knows when the other shelters in Shanghai are opened in which year.

Once the 27th refuge is lost, it will mean that NAC's scientific research capabilities will be regressed by more than one level.

Of course, Jiang Chen would not allow such a thing to happen. If a different kind of tide really occurs, the first thing he needs to ensure is the safety of the scientists' lives.

Regardless of whether the alien tide will really happen, there will always be no mistake in second-hand preparation.

...In addition, temporary shelter facilities are established in the sewer.Prepare temporary shelter, beds, nutritional mixtures and warmers.Although we all know that these things will not be used in the end, just in case, you should prepare them.

OKWang Qing nodded and saw that Jiang Chen had no more instructions, so she turned around and left quickly.

After pausing for a moment, Jiang Chen looked at Tang Yan again.

In the next few days...well, it may be half a month. I have something in another place, and you can discuss it with Liu Yifei to deal with it.She also acted as a position when I was not here, so that's it.Once a different tide occurs, I will come back immediately.

Jiang Chen thought Tang Yan would ask him where he was going, but surprisingly, she just nodded.

OKHowever, my suggestion is that if there is a tide of alien species, it is better for you as a marshal to take the risk to return to the dangerous area.

I will come back because there are people who are very important to me.Jiang Chen said seriously.

...I will protect them for you.Tang Yan promised in a plain tone.

Thanks.But don't be too nervous, maybe the rumors are just rumors.

Jiang Chen patted her on the shoulder, then turned around and walked out of the office door.

The door is closed.

Looking at the closed door, Tang Yan reached out and pinched her face after a long time.

Then she put down her hand.

strangeness.

She said to herself in an emotional tone and turned her eyes out the window.

The sun is bright outside the window, and there is no trace of clouds in the sky.

However, this sunnyness made her feel a illusion that it was unreal.

This feeling is like the tranquility before the storm.
