Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 265 Federation 88 Years

Two days later, the symposium on protecting the rights and interests of new immigrants was held as scheduled. On the same day, Zhang Hao appeared again at South Beach Port to bid farewell to the ocean-going fleet.

As we all know, the fishing company has a total of thousands of foreign workers. In order to prevent these employees from being involved in disputes, the departure date had to be advanced by half a month.

In short, people should be transported to Sydney first, and then all kinds of ships after maintenance should be received one after another. The walking action should not affect the fishing industry.

The southbound fleet was sent away, and the time soon came to New Year's Day, and the 88th year of the federal calendar began.

Today is the day when Zhang Jiaqi brought her boyfriend home. The sister-brother relationship between the two has finally come to fruition. If there is no accident, they are expected to get married during the Spring Festival.

Early in the morning, all relatives gathered at the manor.

A few elders were idle and chatted about the current political hotspots, including the symposium two days ago, and among all the people, it was Steven who was most concerned about this matter and even participated in it.

Zhang Hao then took the opportunity to ask: "Steven, did your symposium come to fruition?"

"Out." Steven nodded.

"Hey, I didn't expect the higher-ups to actually agree."

Several people on the sofa were a little surprised.

"You've got your thoughts wrong, the higher-ups didn't agree, but gave an alternative plan." Steven corrected.

Zhang Hao was curious: "What alternative?"

"Borrow food."

"Borrow food? How?"

Zhang Hao couldn't figure it out. In the current situation, there was almost no difference between borrowing food and giving out food directly. As long as the food was in hand, he didn't need to care about other things.

"How else can I borrow, of course, from the supply and marketing cooperative. Before the three-year period arrives, in addition to the original [-]% of the food stamps, I can borrow another [-]% every month."

Steven briefly introduced.

In this way, all immigrants can receive [-]% of the food stamps, which is only five points less at best, and the negative impact is minimized.

Cao Zheng couldn't help but interjected, "Then why pay it back?"

"It's very simple. After the three-year period, the amount of food stamps for the immigrants is still 5.00%, which is equivalent to repaying [-]% every month until the repayment is exhausted."

Steven paused, then added:

"By the way, there is another [-]% interest. It was originally [-]%, but after our hard work, it was changed to [-]%."

Hearing the words, Zhang Chongxin couldn't help being surprised and said, "Isn't this just living on a living?"

"Well, you can say that too!"

"The method is good." Zhang Hao nodded subconsciously. "This way can not only take care of the feelings of the local people, but also solve practical problems. The balance is well grasped."

"Steven, your people agreed?"

Cao Zheng couldn't help but interjected.

Steven nodded: "Accepted, what else can I do if I don't accept it? I heard that there will be a war soon, and the food will only be more scarce by then."

Next, the topic was quickly shifted to the situation in Europe. To be precise, it should be the situation in Africa. In less than a year, the Europeans have completely "taken over" the African continent.

"In my opinion, the Europeans are eyeing the oil fields in the Middle East. They have nothing to dare. It's Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it."

After Zhang Chongxin finished speaking, he slapped the table hard.

The descendants of these old colonists are stubborn, too greedy, occupying Africa is not enough, and want to get involved in the Middle East, their ambitions are even bigger than the sky.

Steven shook his head: "I don't think there will be a fight. No matter how you look at it, the Europa region is not an opponent of the Federation. They have no reason to take risks with their future."

"That's not necessarily true, Second Uncle, I think this moment is just like that moment. We can actually refer to Nissan and the other side during the civil war."

Cao Fan immediately retorted.

"Xiaofan, you want to talk about the Battle of Pearl Harbor?"

Steven was thoughtful all over.

"That's right." Cao Fan nodded. "Before the Battle of Pearl Harbor, the other side had an absolute advantage. Even though they were aggressive and pushed the Nissans into a corner, no one would think that the Nissans dared to declare war."

"You continue?" Zhang Hao asked with interest.

"Honestly, it was much like now. The Nissans were short of oil and they were choked up. The same is true for the Europas today."

"No, the Federation acquiesced in allowing the Europas to take over the African region, and it didn't cut off their energy supply, nor did it force them to completely withdraw from the African continent like the other side in history."

Zhang Hao shook his head.

Cao Fan quickly explained: "Uncle, the Federation is tacitly acquiescing now, but it doesn't mean it will acquiesce in the future.

Don't forget, in the past six months, the higher-ups have been condemning the Europas every now and then, telling them to restrain themselves and stop making Africa angry. Do you think the Europas will be willing to withdraw from Africa? "

"Even if you're right, it's useless. Europa people are not stupid, they won't fight uncertain battles."

Zhang Hao was not convinced.

"Uncle, that's what I'm going to say next." Cao Fan pursed his lips and continued to explain: "Although the Federation is very strong, it has a fatal weakness."

"What weakness?"

"The weakness is that the size of the navy is too limited. If the Europas follow the example of the Nissans and launch a big surprise attack to completely wipe out the vitality of the navy, then the Federation will have millions of troops in the air, and they will not be able to fly there."

Cao Fan expressed his own analysis.

In the past few rounds of major disarmament, the Federal Navy has also suffered heavy "losses". The total number of personnel, including civilian personnel, is less than 20.

Although there are quite a few ships, there is a serious shortage of large ships, not to mention aircraft carriers, large ships with more than [-] tons can be counted on one hand.

Steven couldn't help but echoed: "I think Xiaofan's analysis is correct. They say 'one year for the army, one hundred years for the navy'. It takes several years for the navy to build warships, enough for the Europeans to occupy the Middle East."

"Hiss, from what you two said, maybe it's really possible." Zhang Hao frowned suddenly.

Zhang Chongxin waved his hand, and said carelessly: "It's impossible, the Federation has nuclear bombs in its hands, and if the Europa people have a hundred courage, they wouldn't dare to attack the navy."

"Grandpa, when nuclear weapons were abolished, it was clearly written in the treaty that no matter what the circumstances, the Federation would not be the first to use nuclear weapons."

Cao Fan quickly reminded.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, I have learned it in history textbooks."

Cao Fan nodded.

Zhang Hao suddenly patted his thigh: "Oops, I remember that there is a large military port next to Nantan Port. If the Europas launch a sneak attack, they won't implicate us, right?"

Shawei Village is very close to Nantan Port, and the straight-line distance is only a dozen kilometers. If there is an error in the missile, it is not impossible to land on the head of Shawei Village.

"Don't scare yourself." Zhang Chongxin glared at his son: "Europa is tens of thousands of kilometers away from us, where did they get the ICBM?"

"Hey, it seems to be true."

Zhang Hao scratched his hair in embarrassment.

Cao Fan analyzed again: "I think there are two ways for the Europa people to carry out sneak attacks. One is to use fighter planes to raid major military ports;

Another is to take advantage of the opportunity of the navy to increase its troops to the Middle East, suddenly attack, set up an ambush along the Red Sea coast or the Persian Gulf Strait, and catch the navy by surprise. "

"It's too insidious. Once the Europa people close their doors and beat the dogs, even if the navy is not wiped out, it will be hurt." Kevin's eyes widened instantly.

Zhang Chongxin then became nervous: "Xiaohao, don't you know Consul Ji? Hurry up and call and report to the higher-ups, so that they can pay attention."

"Dad, are you a vegetarian?" Zhang Hao explained helplessly, with black lines all over his face, "There is no reason why military experts can't analyze things that Cao Fan can guess. Let's leave professional matters to professional people. Let's not Be smart, so as not to cause trouble to others."

"Grandpa, my brother-in-law is quite right. To be honest, these views of mine are actually all from the Internet, and they are not secrets."

Cao Fan followed closely to persuade.

If this is really reported, there will definitely be a big oolong, which will make people laugh.

"Hmph, I thought you thought of it yourself? It turned out that you borrowed other people's opinions, which made me happy for nothing." Zhang Chongxin said angrily.

"Grandpa, this is called one person's disadvantages, and everyone's strengths."

Cao Fan tried to defend himself.

Zhang Chongxin waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I heard that you are looking for a girlfriend. Today is a good opportunity. Why don't you bring it back to show your family?"

"Hey, today is my sister's big happy event. I can't steal the limelight, right? Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. When the time comes, I will bring Guan Tong back to celebrate the Chinese New Year. There will be opportunities to meet each other."

"Okay, remember what you said yourself."

Zhang Chongxin nodded in satisfaction.

……

At 10:30 in the morning, Zhang Jiaqi finally came back with her boyfriend Tao Junlin. Seriously speaking, this was Tao Junlin's third visit to the house, and the whole family had already met.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Hao and others dragged Tao Junlin to continue chatting, while Zhang Jiaqi turned and went into the kitchen to help prepare lunch together.

As a junior, Cao Fan took the initiative to pour Tao Junlin a glass of water: "Little uncle, drink tea!"

"Brother Cao, we are about the same age, you should call me Xiao Tao!" Tao Junlin said politely.

"How can this work? Isn't it a mess of seniority?"

Cao Fan deliberately "runned" Dao.

"Hey, I think it's better like this. When your sister-in-law is here, you can call me little uncle, and when your sister-in-law is away, you should call me Xiaotao!"

Tao Junlin smiled wryly.

Zhang Chongxin laughed a few times: "Xiao Tao is right, you are all young people, you don't need to care about these red tapes, you can be as comfortable as you want."

At this moment, the old man didn't want to put on an old man's posture at all. He wished to marry off his little daughter as soon as possible.

"Dad, you're too biased." Seeing this, Cao Zheng couldn't help joking, "When I came to the door, don't make a smile on your face. You wish you could just grab me and kill me."

"I've already married two daughters. I'm used to it." Zhang Chongxin said casually, and then asked Tao Junlin, "Little Tao, when will your parents have time? Let's go together Come out for tea."

"Uncle, I'm going to take sister Jiaqi home this weekend, how about next weekend?"

"Okay, then make an appointment for next weekend."

Zhang Chongxin confirmed it on the spot.

Zhang Hao followed closely and probed: "Xiao Tao, I heard from my third sister that you two plan to get married during the Spring Festival?"

"Yes, we are usually busy at work, and it is difficult to ask for leave. We only have time during the Chinese New Year."

Tao Junlin quickly replied.

In fact, his side is fine, if there is an emergency, it's okay to ask for three or four days off.

Mainly on his girlfriend's side, she is now the de facto leader of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office. She has a lot of things to do, and recently the new immigrants have caused a lot of trouble, so she can't do without.

Zhang Chongxin nodded again and again: "It's better to get married early, maybe there will be a war next year, which is unlucky."

"Little Tao, the two of you are usually busy with work, the preparations for the wedding... just leave it to me and your parents. I promise to help you make the wedding a lively one."

Zhang Chongxin patted his chest and promised.

"Uncle, we are official employees, and weddings are not suitable for big fuss."

Tao Junlin hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said:
"Sister Jiaqi and I discussed it. We plan to donate all the money for the wedding. As for the wedding, we will bring the two families together for a meal. That's basically it."

Zhang Chongxin frowned instantly.

Among the three daughters, only the youngest daughter stays at home the longest and has the deepest affection. Don't look at the old couple urging marriage all day long, it is also the deepest love and responsibility.

Zhang Hao understood the third sister a little bit, so he helped smooth things over and said, "Dad, third sister is now at a critical moment in her career development. There is no harm in keeping a low profile, so why don't you just follow their method?"

"Hey, she's a girl from every family, what's the use of being such a big official?"

Zhang Chongxin complained on the spot.

Cao Zheng immediately helped to persuade: "Dad, you don't want to go to Versailles. My sister-in-law is in trouble now. She is already a cadre at the deputy director level at a young age. If you work hard for ten years, it is not impossible to become the governor of a state." .”

"Governor? She can be the mayor. I can wake up from my dreams." Zhang Chongxin shook his head with a wry smile.

You know, there are a total of 38 states in the mainland, and among all the current governors, one and only one is a woman, and the current situation is too dangerous. He doesn't want his youngest daughter to leave Huicheng, at least he can't leave the metropolitan area.

You don't need to ask to know that the competition for the governor of the metropolitan area is more intense than that of other places, and the difficulty of the two is not at the same level.

"Dad, the eldest brother-in-law is right. Don't underestimate my third sister. I heard from Governor Li that the third sister does a brilliant job and is well received."

"Really? You didn't fool me?"

Zhang Chongxin was a little uncertain.

He has already figured out the character of the youngest daughter. To put it mildly, she is happy with the situation, not a person who does big things.

"Environment can change people. If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Tao and let him tell you about my third sister."

Zhang Hao reached out and patted Tao Junlin's shoulder.

Tao Junlin immediately cooperated and said: "Uncle, Sister Jiaqi is really amazing, not only does she work hard, but she is also very popular in the state capital.

The key is that the ability is still very strong. I have helped many immigrant families with difficulties to solve their employment problems, and has been praised by the leaders many times. "
