One Thousand One Hundred Twenty-Five Serial Bombs
So the key to whether this matter can be resolved now still depends on the Grand Commander.
Opinions within the military are not unified now.
The old chaebols in the west want to send warships to patrol the Ithaca area. This is their plan to kill two birds with one stone.
On the one hand, they want to deter Ithaca's development through military deterrence, and at the same time deter Xiao Feng.
At that time, you said to sail to the vicinity of the Kalapago Islands, go for a walk, and fire a few shots.
Do you think the construction of those islands will stop? Will the workers be afraid?
Will the people who originally planned to invest and set up companies in the Ithaca area still go?
In case when the time comes, they sink a boat of their own over there, and turn around and say that there are terrorists on your side.
Will you agree to go to the island for inspection?
Don't think it's impossible, in fact it's very possible.
If you dare to start a war with a bottle of washing powder, what do you think the Americans can't do?
So Xiao Feng was ten million reluctant and asked the United States to send warships to patrol the Ithaca area.
Xiao Feng didn't want the Americans to send ships there, and Dalton and his California consortium also didn't want the Navy to send ships there.
Because first of all, the Pacific side is the territory of their California consortium.
Second, if a ship is sent, which fleet ship will be sent over?
Send a ship from the Third Fleet? Or do you want to send a ship from the Second Fleet?
Send the Third Fleet? Now the Seventh Fleet has completely collapsed because of the Yokosuka explosion.
The Third Fleet has all gone to Japan and stationed in the Philippines, and it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to send ships over.
Furthermore, in their view, the Kalapago Islands are not a threat at all.
They also hope that the faster the development here, the better.
After all, Xiao Feng worked closely with their California consortium.
If the Third Fleet is not sent over, then if the Second Fleet sends ships over, they don't even want to see it.
After all, the Pacific Ocean can be regarded as their own private land by them.
You old guys on the east coast, just keep your Atlantic Ocean.
You want to come to the Pacific Ocean to stir up trouble, what are you doing?
Do something?
And this incident can easily give the old guys on the east coast an excuse to restore the Fourth Fleet.
This is definitely not what the California consortium wants to see.
So neither Xiao Feng nor Dalton wanted to see the old guys on the east coast succeed in their double-edged plan.
The key to solving this matter now lies in the commander.
At present, the opinions within the military are not unified, and the final decision on whether to send troops has to be the commander-in-chief.
Although Dalton and the others have sent a lobbying group to Washington, it is not so easy to persuade the commander in chief.
After all, everyone knows that the Grand Commander is not someone who is easy to persuade.
And he himself is very thoughtful, and often does something unexpected.
Dalton chatted with Xiao Feng for a while, and then left the villa.
After eight o'clock in the evening, Pompeo finally called.
But his expression is very strange.
"Uh, Xiao, I just met with the commander-in-chief."
"Oh? Then did you convince him?"
"Well, the conversation went smoothly, and he didn't object to my proposal, but his attitude was very interesting."
When Pompey said this, the expression on his face became more and more strange.
"Oh? What did he say?"
"He said, it's not convenient to talk to me about something, let me tell my friend to contact Eric..."
"By the way, when did you meet Eric?"
McGee Pompeo looked at Xiao Feng with curiosity.
The group of people who helped him get started have a nickname in the United States called Octopus.
It means that the relationship between the gang is everywhere.
But now in his opinion, this Xiao Feng is not much better than the two octopus brothers.
He unexpectedly met so many people in the United States quietly,
Even know Uncle Guo?
Don't look at him in front of outsiders, he and the commander are like brothers.
But in fact, he knew very well that he was just a tool of the commander.
And the most trustworthy of the Grand Commander is his son-in-law who rides the dragon quickly.
It can even be said that he ascended to the current throne with the help of his good son-in-law.
And after he came to power, his son-in-law's family naturally got a lot of benefits.
However, for many things, it is inconvenient for the son-in-law of the commander-in-chief to come forward, and uncle Eric just happened to be useful at this time.
Therefore, in the upper class of the United States, everyone knows this Eric.
But you want to meet, this Eric. Kunana is not so easy.
You won't get the chance to meet this Mr. Eric unless someone of extraordinary status introduces you for you, or someone guarantees you.
He never expected that the commander-in-chief would ask Xiao Feng to find Eric by name.
She also smiled and told him that Eric and Xiao Feng are good friends.
And asking Xiao Feng to find Eric was obviously looking for a job for Xiao Feng.
As long as Xiao Feng can take over the other party's work, wouldn't the matter be solved easily?
And with the commander's statement, he can fight back forcefully, the actions of those old guys on the east coast.
It is not Pompeo's habit to be bullied without fighting back.
"Haha, this is another story."
"Okay, I know what to do, just wait for my news!"
Of course Xiao Feng would not tell Pompey how he met Eric.
After Harlandell passed the Pegasus World Cup last time and caught Eric's line, he has not been used much.
After all, with a relationship like Eric's, one use is less.
And if you are too closely connected with him, it is easy to fall into the trap.
After all, the commander-in-chief is at a critical moment for his re-election, and the reporters and the opposition are watching him very closely.
If those guys know that Uncle Guo is too close to a Hua country businessman, then the loss outweighs the gain.
Because of this, Xiao Feng didn't take the initiative to contact Eric, and Eric didn't take the initiative to contact him.
After hanging up on Pompey's phone, Xiao Feng found out Eric's number and called him.
After all, the Grand Commander and the others took the initiative to find him this time, so Xiao Feng has nothing to worry about.
The call was connected quickly, and Eric's attitude was very enthusiastic.
"Hi! Dude, you haven't called me in so long, I thought you forgot about my friend!"
"Haha, how come? By the way, didn't you say you wanted to breed your horse before?"
"Just so, my spearman has been ready recently, when will we arrange for them to meet?"
Xiao Feng casually said haha, and said with a smile, while Eric on the other end of the phone was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
"That's right, I'm thinking about it too! Then tomorrow, let's go there tomorrow morning."
"Okay, tomorrow..."
After making an appointment with Eric, Xiao Feng hung up the phone.
Then he frowned, it seemed that the matter of the Grand Commander was very urgent this time.
He hinted at Pompey and told himself to contact Eric.
There must be some unsolvable trouble on his side.
And only after he helped him solve these troubles, would he express his position on the matter of sending warships.
The twists and turns here are really troublesome enough.
After all, though, it's all a deal.
Early the next morning, Xiao Feng picked up Eric from the airport who had just got off the plane, and then dragged him back to Helen's country house.
In fact, he didn't have to come, but considering the special status of this guest, he decided it was better to come by himself.
It's a good thing, people have helped me too.
When Jonathan was aggressive, it was Eric who helped Jonathan out.
If it wasn't for Eric, Xiao Feng would have no idea where Jonathan's deathbed was.
And after that time, he knew Jonathan's weakness, and thus gained the upper hand in the later war with Jonathan.
When they arrived at the villa, Xiao Feng took Eric straight to the living room upstairs, and then asked them to bring them all kinds of drinks, snacks and drinks.
"Haha, it seems that you are doing well now, and you are very comfortable in the country of America."
Eric poured himself a glass of Dynasty red wine, then picked up a small snack and stuffed it into his mouth.
Xiao Feng also smiled and raised the coffee in his hand, he didn't like drinking very much in the morning.
But these foreigners are really different. When talking about things, they often like to have a drink, no matter whether it is morning or evening.
Those who are addicted to alcohol can have a drink at any time.
"Haha, it's okay! Okay, Eric, our time is precious, what is the business this time, let's hear it."
Xiao Feng went straight in, Eric glanced at him, and then slowly put down his wine glass.
"Xiao, I don't know if I can trust you..."
"Ha, Eric, we've known each other for a while, I think you know me well..."
Xiao Feng vaguely hinted, and Eric nodded as if he had made up his mind.
"Okay, then let me tell you something. In fact, I came to you this time because I have a batch of goods in my hand that I need you to help me dispose of."
"Oh? What is it?"
Xiao Feng asked casually.
"Some corn, soybeans, beef, and pork..."
"Um?"
After hearing Eric's answer, Xiao Feng was stunned.
Are these things common? What's wrong with this, do you still need to ask me for help?
Eric also understood Xiao Feng's expression, and added a sentence.
"The total value is about three billion U.S. dollars..."
"Fuck..."
When Xiao Feng heard this, he was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the sofa.
Three billion dollars? How much soybeans, corn and pork and beef are there!
God, where did you get this from?
Xiao Feng felt a little dazed after hearing this number.
"This is just the first issue, and there will be a few more in the future..."
The first message has not been fully digested, and Eric's second bomb has been dropped.
The two serial bombs completely knocked Xiao Feng into a daze.
