The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

He was threatening the other party. If they didn't make a decision, he would make the decision for them. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his meaning was clear. If they kept procrastinating, the request might not remain the same.

He was a little panicked when he heard this. He was indeed concerned about the situation of the Dongshan Army team. If Yang Xia hung up the phone now, then...

He tried to buy time to think of a solution, and spoke hesitantly: "But...we...he..."

The speech was fragmented and he had no idea what he was saying. The language was completely disorganized.

Yang Xia shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect a person to be so deaf and dumb. He had already said it so bluntly. What else was there to explain?
In Yang Xia's eyes, Hiratajiro's little thoughts were completely visible and extremely ridiculous.

"I know what you are thinking, but that is simply impossible. Kyushu currently does not have any technology that can destroy the equipment on Neon Country's warships!" Yang Xia's voice was calm and firm.

"No one knows the specific situation. We can only say that this sea area is mysterious and unpredictable, and anything can happen," he added.

"There's less than a minute left, we're ready to hang up the line!" Yang Xia began the countdown.

"If you want to save the Dongshan Army team, then send money, now, immediately, and instantly!" His tone was direct, blunt, and extremely cold.

For someone like Hiramojiro, the weaker you appear, the more he will bully you and look down on you.

On the other hand, if you are stronger than him, he may become timid.

It didn't matter to Hiratajiro that his thoughts were seen through, as he had no face left now.

But when he heard that Yang Xia was about to end the conversation, he still looked at the ministers below him guiltily.

The ministers didn't know what happened, so they could only speculate based on what Hirata Jiro said. They subconsciously caught Hirata Jiro's look, and a bad premonition surged in their hearts.

Hiratajiro has not made a decision yet, but there seems to be no second choice in the current situation. What he can do is very limited. It all depends on the weight of the Toyama Army Squad in the hearts of Hiratajiro and other ministers.

"Wait, I agree!" Hirata Momojiro compromised in the last few seconds.

After saying this, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength and his mind went blank.

He no longer remembered what he had agreed to. He only remembered that Yang Xia hung up the phone right after he finished speaking, leaving a message saying "I'll contact you another day for the details."

As for how Yang Xia plans to help, what the initial plan is, and what the situation of the Dongshan Army team is, these are all questions, and Hirata Momojiro knows nothing about them.

He wanted to ask about these things, but Yang Xia had cut off the communication. He called back immediately, but still couldn't contact Yang Xia.

The feeling of unwillingness and frustration was like a burning flame, tightly entangling Hiratajiro and making him unable to sleep or eat.

"Lord Ping Tao, why did you agree to this? That's 2 billion US dollars, and there are two latest research results. How are we going to give it to you? Do we have to ask the research institute for it?" A minister asked with a worried look on his face.

"Impossible, they will never give it to us, and we don't have the authority to force the research institute to cooperate." Another minister shook his head.

"This is too difficult. What should we do now? Everything is over..." someone sighed.

"Two billion US dollars is too much of a stretch. As for research results and the like, how should we give them? What should we give them?" The ministers were worried about the safety of the Dongshan Army team, but at the same time they were unwilling to give so many benefits to the Kyushu government.

They couldn't think of any good solution. Everyone knew that Neon Country would never give up the Dongshan Army Team, and the best solution was to ask Yang Xia and others for help.

However, two billion US dollars and two latest research results are really too large a number.

Can the fiscal budget really squeeze out 2 billion US dollars?

When I think about the fact that this might be linked to the interests of other departments, for example, if 2 billion is spent on the military, wouldn’t the budgets of other departments be reduced?

Matters related to the budget cannot be brushed aside with a few words. The ministers have a clear understanding of the calculations.

On the surface, they seemed to be serious, as if they had considered a lot for Hiratajiro and made very loyal suggestions. But in fact, it was all for their own benefit.

Hei Taojiro was fully aware of these little thoughts. He did not give the ministers more opportunities to express themselves. He interrupted them and said, "These 2 billion US dollars have nothing to do with you. They will go directly from the military account. Don't worry, your budget will not be reduced!"

He said this with an impatient look on his face, directly exposing the true thoughts of others, making the ministers feel a little embarrassed and guilty.

However, his words did not completely dispel everyone's concerns. The money problem was solved, but what about the latest research technology?

The latter is obviously much more valuable than the former, and the two cannot be compared at all. Which research result did not require huge human, material and financial resources in the early stage? It is really unwilling and unacceptable to just give it away like this!

Regarding this point, Hiramojiro calmly gave an explanation: "Don't worry, the other party only mentioned two latest research results, and didn't say what field they were in. Shouldn't we have the final say? They don't even know what the latest results are!"

That's right, Yang Xia didn't specify what he wanted, which gave them a lot of room for maneuver. They could just pick some relatively unimportant technological achievements to deal with.

This was Hirata's final compromise. Two billion dollars alone was beyond his expectations, so much so that he felt like he had given up.

He just thought so for the time being. As for whether Yang Xia would agree, he didn't know. Anyway, scientific and technological achievements couldn't be given immediately!

In addition, this statement can effectively shut up the ministers in front of us, otherwise it is unknown how long they will continue arguing.

As expected, everyone understood what Hirata Momojiro meant, and after adding some content in their minds, they stopped holding on to it.

Hei Taojiro was quite satisfied with the result, so he kindly suggested: "It's getting late, why don't you go home and have a good meal, don't starve yourself."

His words implied that he hoped these people would leave quickly.

Originally, everyone had eaten some snacks to fill their stomachs and did not feel particularly hungry. However, after being reminded by Hiratajiro, they suddenly felt starving, as if their intestines were knotted in protest.

"Thank you for your concern, leader. In that case, we'll go back first. There's nothing wrong with staying here." Someone responded first.

"Yes, I've been hungry all day because I was so worried about the Dongshan Army Team that I couldn't even eat. Now I can finally have a good rest." Another person also agreed. "Lord Ping Tao, go back and rest early, you've worked hard today." Another person said with concern.

"We will continue to pay attention to this matter. If there is any new development, we will hold a meeting to discuss it. I guess we will be busy in the future." Someone added.

The ministers decided to quit while they were ahead. Since the Dongshan Army team had been rescued, they would not have to bear the price they paid, so they stopped paying too much attention to it.

In fact, even if Hiramojiro didn't say it, they were going to leave. They couldn't stay overnight in the leader's office. They had never been so active before. They hadn't eaten or rested for a whole day, and they urgently needed to rest.

However, before leaving, they did not forget to emphasize that they would continue to pay attention to this matter, and this was specifically said to Hirata Momojiro.

In fact, this does not mean that today’s events are over.

What happened just now was just what Jiro Hirata said. Where the real 2 billion US dollars will come from and what the final price will be, these are not 100% certain. Someone must keep an eye on Jiro Hirata's every move.

Otherwise, they might be betrayed by Hirata Momojiro at any time and take the blame for him.

Of course, no one is willing to take the blame for him. Taking the initiative is impossible, and no one wants to be suddenly forced into those muddy waters one day.

The problem is that they all have more or less leverage in Hirata Jiro's hands, some of which are their leverage, and some of which are also Hirata Jiro's leverage.

However, they could not be sure that Hiramojiro would not go crazy and blow himself up, and they were afraid that all the blame would be put on them, both for what they had done and for what they had not done.

"Got it. I'll notify you when there's new news!" Hirata Momojiro gave them a shot of cardiac stimulant and made a verbal promise.

These ministers were much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. They were not any easier to deal with than Yang Xia. They were all the most cunning of the cunning.

Hiramojiro even suspected that these ministers were focusing all their attention on how to resist him. They were like on guard against wolves all day long, and were prepared for even the smallest matter.

In their minds, it seemed as if Jiro Hirata might sell them out and betray them at any time and do something dirty to them, so they were very cautious in everything they did.

Hiramojiro felt very impatient about this, but he was restrained by these people in many ways, and he felt that he had been kind enough.

If it were the iron-blooded president of the Bear Country, he would probably lock these people in the toilet at gunpoint for obstructing official business, and would not listen to any explanation and would just punish them.

When Hiramojiro thought this, he forgot why the ministers of Japan were so cautious. They were afraid of him and had to be on guard!

When the ministers came, they were so aggressive that Kobayashi Kiyoshi had to deal with them by flattering them. Now when they left, it was as quick and decisive as a strong wind.

After they left the office, Hiratajiro immediately told his secretary Kobayashi Kiyoshi to close the door. He really didn't want to see these people again.

Of course, this was just his wishful thinking. No country's leaders would step down collectively overnight, so Hirata Momojiro could only think about it.

After these noisy people left, only Hirata Jiro and secretary Kobayashi Seiya were left in the president's office, and it instantly became quiet.

"Open the window to let in some fresh air and get rid of all the bad luck." ordered Hirata Momojiro.

"Also, wash all the sofa cushions they just sat on, and wipe the floor and tabletops." He added, as if those ministers had polluted his office. He immediately ordered Kobayashi Kiyoshi to clean up, with a look of disgust on his face.

Originally, there were special cleaning staff, but Hiratajiro didn't want other people to touch his office, so he usually asked his secretary to do these trivial things. Kobayashi Kiyoshiya was already used to these things, and he immediately took action after Hiratajiro finished speaking.

In less than half an hour, the entire office was brand new, which made Hirata Momojiro feel a lot more relieved.

However, even though Kobayashi Kiyoshi was so capable, Hiramojiro never had a good attitude towards him.

In his opinion, this secretary was not very good. He was asked to receive the ministers properly, but he was suppressed so much that he had to deal with it.

Especially when the video was playing just now, Kobayashi Kiyoshi didn't even bother to preview it in advance, and even played it externally, allowing everyone to see the "embarrassing" process of the Toyama Army team, which also slapped Hirata Momojiro hard.

Hiramo Jiro blamed all this on Kobayashi Kiyoshi.

There was no need to rush to clean, but he deliberately chose this moment to ask his secretary to do it just to teach him a lesson.

Kobayashi Kiyoshi didn't dare to complain at all. He was almost powerless the entire day and performed very badly.

To some extent, it also made Hiratajiro lose face, which was what he cared about the most. At this moment, he naturally did not dare to show any abnormality, and could only silently endure Hiratajiro's difficulties.

No matter what Hiramojiro told him to do, he just had to do it.

The scope of a secretary's duties is very broad, and requires an all-round talent to be competent.

Hiramojiro breathed in the fresh air and felt much better, but only relatively speaking. It was time to get off work, but he couldn't rest at all because there were more important things waiting for him to do.

If the Dongshan Army team encountered this situation, then other elite teams that set out at the same time might have encountered similar situations, or even worse.

Hiramojiro knew this clearly, so he specifically instructed Captain Tanaka not to move so fast, but to move as slowly as possible.

Therefore, elite teams such as the Ranger Squad will inevitably be closer to the central area of ​​the sea and will be affected more.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be kept to oneself. Hirata Momojiro will naturally not share the good news with others, but the bad news must be made known to other presidents.

In this way, it is not just Japan that needs to seek help from Kyushu. The United States, the United Kingdom and other countries must also go through these steps. There is no reason for Japan to be the only country to suffer misfortune. If we have to suffer misfortune, let's suffer together!

Hiramojiro didn't feel that thinking this way would go against the provisions of the Joint Convention.

Any other president would make the same choice, there is no doubt about that. (End of this chapter)
