Chapter 449: Star Alliance's position

He felt that if he exchanged identities with Tang Fang, he would have to add another hour to sleep and wake up at this moment, so that you old ghosts would be reserved. What's going on now? Deserve it!

Corey Christian continued to say: "Brother Tang, let me tell you, just yesterday, a miner who has a long-term business relationship with our "Rover Technology Consortium" approached me and wanted me to see it. Many years of love help him...He has a lot of minerals you want."

Tang Fang picked out a piece of tea sticking to the corner of his mouth, flicked it into the paper basket next to the coffee table, and said, "I'll just say it, you, such an honest businessman, will visit you for an apology?"

"Hahaha..." Old Corey made a haha: "Brother Tang, I'm doing this for you."

"Good for me?" Tang Fang looked at him with a stunned eyebrow.

"Of course! To tell you the truth, this man is from the Phoenix Empire, and he is willing to sell you that batch of minerals at a lower price than two months ago."

After hearing these words, Tang Fang couldn't help frowning, thought about it, and finally relieved.

Although the Star Alliance and the Phoenix Empire cannot be said to be as powerful as water and fire, they can't say they are in agreement. Disagreements and disputes, and even small-scale gunfire has long been normalized.

If the Star Alliance really fights with Sulu and Monya and gets involved in the Charles Federation-Dolanx Republic vs. Monya Empire-Sulu Empire's four-nation war, it is impossible to guarantee that the Phoenix Empire will not stabbed a knife in the back. What will happen to the minerals that have been hoarded some time ago? The Phoenix Empire is an authoritarian country, and the emperor has enormous powers. If one might be targeted by some great aristocracy, you will never discuss it.

Furthermore, in terms of the current "Babylon" market, mineral prices have not yet fallen. But this is only the appearance, the result of all the speculative businesses trying their best to hold on, but they lose their roots. It will collapse in chains like dominoes.

And this so-called "a straw" may be pressure from the current situation. It may also be a merchant who is not going to be in a good way and has no loyalty, and is willing to give in to "Morning Star Casting".

Let the businessman speak morality? That is naturally a joke. Just like the businessman from the Phoenix Empire in Old Corey’s mouth, knowing that Tang would never compromise with speculators easily, he simply pushed the price to the limit, and only hoped that Tang would accept it. The deal is concluded. You can keep your capital, but you can't care about other businesses.

Tang Fang felt that this man was quite courageous, so he admired: "He doesn't act sloppily, he is smart enough."

Corey Christian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not shrewd, it's just about being informed or not. If I guess right, there will be a large number of promotional calls to bomb you before tomorrow."

"how to say?"

Old Corey did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you think this battle can be fought?"

"For hundreds of billions?" Tang Fang shook his head, "I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

It is true that the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire are authoritarian countries, but this does not mean that Kirkcraft I and Masefield Washington are old-fashioned, and the battle in the "Gampner Theater" is in full swing. For the sake of the mere hundreds of billions of stars, will they tear their faces with the Star Alliance? how is this possible!

800 billion stars is no more than a semi-conventional fleet, not to mention far. In the case of the Duke of Yadan, there are probably 5 fleets that can be assembled by smashing iron. He is only a Duke, and people like the Duke of Yadan, there are 18 people in Monya, let alone There are still many princes on it. From this, one can imagine how many war resources the Emperor, as the head of a country, holds.

Not to mention 190 billion stars, even 1.900 billion. Compared to figures of the level of Kirklaf I, it is nothing but a drop in the bucket. The reason why troops are stationed at the border is probably just acting. Forcing the Xingmeng to become softer, it's just a little bit of face internationally.

Thinking of this, Tang Fang reacted at once, what he could think of, how could those businessmen who are more savvy than him could not think of it, if they could think of it, why would they choose to compromise with him? Could something happen that he didn't know?

He raised his head and looked at Corey Christian with interest, waiting patiently for the businessman's answer.

"The focus of this question is no longer the attitude of Sulu and Mongolia. The decision right now lies in the hands of the Star Alliance, and the Star Alliance... wants to fight!"

There was a hint of sorrow on Old Corey's face: "The Star League has been silent for too long..."

He is an out-and-out, native-born member of the Star Alliance, who naturally knows the humiliating history of the Star Alliance very well. As a citizen of a country, who does not want his country to be strong, who does not want to be able to stand up and be a human being A country with universal values ​​such as fairness, justice, and freedom has been pressed, pressed, stepped on, and spit on the face of the Star League from time to time by barbaric regimes like the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire. This feeling is that How could it feel good?

"The Star League is going to fight?" Tang Fang was taken aback. Such a force that is struggling to survive among the nations is going to fight the monarchy? It is really shocking, which is a bit inconsistent with the previous style of behavior of the 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 weak.

Not long ago, he was still wondering why several days passed, the senior leaders of the Star Alliance hadn't come up with an opinion on how to deal with it, and Byron did not receive another message from Terry Ferdinand.

It turns out that the Star Alliance is ready to fight!

Claire came over to add tea. The steam from the boiling water poured into the cup obscured Tang Fang's face. The turquoise tea was undulating, and his eyes narrowed into a narrow gap in the ripples.

Old Corey continued to explain: "In fact, the majority of the Star Alliance parliamentary parties were at first, but later Charles Federal President Antoinette's words touched the vast majority of parliamentarians."

"As you know, the Star Alliance’s position in the world has always been embarrassing. Although it is a country, it does not have complete sovereignty. The marginal territory is occupied by stronghold forces placed by various countries, and there are pirates inside. It can only be shrunk in a few areas in the center of the country's territory, trying to survive."

"This time, the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire have jointly launched an attack, thinking that the Star Alliance will shrink their heads as before. Compensate for their economic losses... They are wrong, they are wrong, they are in the'Gampner Theater' The situation is tight now. What do you think would happen if the Star Alliance, with its growing national strength, stabbed them in the back?"

"The conditions given by the Charles Federation and the Dolanx Republic are very good. As long as the Star Covenant joins them to defeat the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire, they will not only withdraw their strongholds in the Star Covenant territory, but will also help the Star Covenant recover. National territory, enjoy the treatment that a sovereign country deserves."

"As for the Phoenix Empire, it shouldn't be a big problem if it is contained by the Silver Eagle Group."

Old Corey thanked Claire and fixed Tang Fang's eyes: "If you were the president of the Star League, what would you do?"

"I will accept it without hesitation!"

Tang Fang smiled. He smiled very happily, so happy that Old Corey found it strange, did he really regard himself as the president of the Star League, or why would he show such an expression?

Master Captain was indeed happy because of the Star Alliance government's decision, but he was not happy from the position of Mr. President, he was happy for himself.

What did he do so much in "Babylon" for? In addition to depicting the situation in the heart bit by bit, another purpose is to confuse the water and mess up the relationship between the Star Alliance and the nations.

He didn't even want to use formal channels to collect cesium-containing minerals and iridium-containing minerals from the beginning, as if quietly prying at the corner of the government. This kind of thing about national wool has just conformed to Captain Tang's behavior.

In the past few days, he was considering which mining company to start with, but he did not expect that the Star Alliance government would spill the water. I also solved the problem of inflated mineral prices by myself. This is sour and refreshing...Tsk!

His smiling face bloomed at the mouth of the cup, white hairs were like clouds, emitting a faint fragrance.

There are tea needles slowly sliding down the water, like a graceful woman with long sleeves.

"Tell the man, I did the deal." Tang Fang put away his smile, and while Claire turned and left, she squeezed her small butt, and the girl shivered. He looked back and gave him a fierce look, but fortunately Old Corey didn't see it because of his position. Otherwise, where is her face left.

"Okay, I'll go back and notify him."

Old Corey drank the tea in the cup without connotation. I got up and walked to Tang Fang and shook hands with him: "If there is no accident, I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning. Let's go to Alkasi and 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 in person, but when I came, I had promised to let him see the young but legendary Captain Tang with his own eyes. I think... you won't Don't give me this face."

"Oh, never thought I have fans too?"

Old Corey's hand was a little tight, at least tighter than the last time I met, so he looked very kind.

"That is, if I were 20 years younger, maybe I would... Oh, no, I'm already a fan of you now." Old Corey laughed and moved his left hand up, holding on to Tang Fang's Shake your right hand up and down for a while, then let go: "Okay, let's say goodbye, see you tomorrow."

Tang Fang delivered to the door: "Don't stay for dinner?"

Corey Christian, looking at the red sun hidden behind the green on the other side of the horizon, joked: "If you really want to keep me for dinner, you will be delivered to the door?"

After finishing speaking, turning around, waving his hand without looking back, stepping on the afterglow of the artificial sun, walking away along the bluestone road.

There was no wind, and the crabapple trees in the yard did not move.

Tang Fang walked down the steps and stared at the back of Old Corrie for a while, until the fragrance of flowers filled his nose, he discovered that Clariya had walked out of the living room at some point, staring curiously with her big eyes. Hold him.

"What are you looking at? So ecstatic?"

"Look at the beauty." Tang Fang gave her a sideways glance, then turned and walked into the living room.

The girl looked at a black shadow at the end of the bluestone road, knowing that it was Old Corrie, and then she looked at the European-style villas on the opposite side. The setting sun spread on the milky white walls, and the glass windows reflected a round of magnificence, but not How dazzling and light.

She was very puzzled, where is the beautiful woman in Tang Fang's mouth?

"Don't come in yet?" The captain called from the living room, and the girl could only take back Luye Xunfang's heart and turned back to the room.

"Help me call Tang Lin."

Kleiya found his expression a little strange, not a bit of excitement to see the beauty, but a little dark.

She didn't ask much, and walked quickly to the second floor. With little effort, the two walked down the stairs one after another.

Tang Lin's eyes were a bit misty, he wanted to take a nap and didn't wake up yet.

Claire did not speak. He picked up the empty cup on the table and walked into the kitchen.

"Follow Old Corey. Keep an eye on him." Tang Fang sat up from the sofa and summoned a black suitcase.

Tang Lin's eyes were full of light, and his sleepiness disappeared. He didn't ask much, only agreed, lifted the black suitcase with protective clothing for harsh environments, pushed the door out of the villa, and walked hurriedly along the bluestone road.

Claire walked out of the kitchen and sat next to Tang Fang. He took the girl's hand, it was a bit cold, and there was still a trace of shallow water between the nails.

"You shouldn't do this, I will feel sorry for the high accommodation fees."

Claire knew that he actually wanted to say: "I'm feeling sorry for you."

She raised 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 him grow a stubborn side face from bottom to top.

"Why do you want Tang Lin to monitor Old Corey? Isn't he a good relationship with you?"

Tang Fang didn't speak, his gaze shifted from the girl's cheek to the window. There, the sunset has passed, and dim stars flashed. The night fell silently, like a human heart changed little by little by time.

After all, he didn't say his own consideration, because Claire didn't need to know too much, it would not be good for her.

…………

After dinner, Linglong, Yingluo and others went for a walk, and Tang Fang sat in the living room alone, waiting for Tang Lin to return.

Corey Christian was right. During this period, several phone calls came to the front desk of the hotel, asking him by name.

Tang Fang didn't answer, when the lady's soft cowardly voice sounded for the third time. He said, "I'll bother me to rest again. Just go to your manager", and then. The world finally became quiet.

At the time of "Sky Garden", around 21 o'clock, accompanied by a very light footsteps, the door of the room opened from the outside, and 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, silently. He knew that the older brother was very upset, and he also knew the reason.

So he didn't speak. After sitting for a while, he got up and pulled out his black leather bag, opened the built-in processing unit of the harsh environment protective suit, sent the data to the display device hanging on the wall, and then turned upstairs.

After a few seconds, light diffused from the surface of the display, illuminating the entire living room as if tide water, and also illuminated Tang Fang's gloomy face on the sofa, and a cup of tea on the coffee table, which was already cool.

Old Corey appeared in the center of the picture. On the sofa opposite him sat three people, one black and two white, about 50 years old, calm and restrained in temperament, but his eyes were sharp, shooting sword-like rays outward.

"It's done?" The speaker was the taller of the two white men.

It can be seen that Old Corey's mood is a little depressed, he is almost different from before, his voice is a bit hoarse, as if every word is squeezed out of his throat: "It's done!"

"Didn't it arouse his suspicion?" asked another short white man.

"I think...it shouldn't be..." Corey Christian was a little uncertain. Don't think Tang Fang is just a young man in his 20s, but he has never looked down on him.

"Nothing is good. If you startled the snake, things will be difficult... He is not an easy person to deal with." This time the speaker was replaced by a thick-lipsed black man sitting between two white men.

After hearing these words, Old Corey became a little agitated. He stood up and asked loudly: "I don't understand. Why do you still choose to provoke him, knowing that he is difficult to deal with?"

It is true that the "Randerer Technology Consortium" belongs to the board of directors, and he can't control what others do. However, after so many years in the company, the "Randerer Technology Consortium" can grow to the point where it is today. It is also his credit. In it, if this incident caused many years of effort to waste, he would definitely not be able to bear it.

The two white men frowned, obviously very upset. The expression on the black man's face did not change. He was silent for a while, and then slowly said a word.

It turned out that this matter was very complicated. It was not a unilateral decision made by the "Rover Technology Consortium" board but pressure from the senior government of the Star Alliance, which forced the original plan to turn a blind eye to Tang Fang. The board of directors with one eye closed makes a strategic tilt and walks to the opposite of "Morning Star Casting".

There were some slight deviations between reality and Tang Fang's conjecture, and it was this slight deviation that caused the "Morning Star Casting" to fall into a more precarious situation.

Indeed, the Star Alliance government is preparing to go to war with Sulu and Monya, which allows him to move forward faster in the Tianchao area. However, because of the changing current situation, the government and parties that were originally very divided are not Do not let go of past grievances for the time being, and unite as one to deal with the coming war. Together with Lu Yuankui, who was acquainted with the Mongolian Empire, and Durant, who had acquainted with the Sulu Empire, after weighing the pros and cons, he gradually distanced himself from the two countries.

In this way, the Star Alliance government’s response and processing capabilities to domestic incidents are like a car stepping on the accelerator. It suddenly becomes much faster. At this moment, an image submitted by Tomlinson Daller to the intelligence department The information attracted the attention of senior government officials.

The video data comes from the Albert faction of the "Apollo" Pirate Group, and its content is exactly what happened when Charman led the fleet to attack the Christie's "Venus Pharmaceutical" Industrial Park. (To be continued)
