The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me
Chapter 546 Peace Prize Winner
The price of this batch of materials is quite affordable, and it is considered the most basic of the basics. It can be found everywhere in the market, and the price in the system is so low that it does not hurt. To put it bluntly, you will not feel a loss even if you buy it at the original price.
Coincidentally, Jiuzhou Kingdom just needed this batch of materials. Yang Xia thought, why not just do them a favor and give them the materials? Just take a small amount as a token of appreciation, the profit is not that high anyway.
To be honest, even if he donated it directly to the headquarters, Yang Xia wouldn't feel bad about it. It was just a piece of cake for him.
Even if he gave away more of this kind of material, Yang Xia would not feel any loss, at most he would just make less money. He actually did not want to charge any fees, as he felt it was unnecessary.
Mr. Xu and his friends were so nice to Yang Xia that he felt a little flattered. He felt that he had not done anything to deserve such treatment. If he really received high-level treatment for such a small matter, he would be embarrassed.
There is a saying in Jiuzhou Kingdom that "Virtue does not match position". Yang Xia felt that he should not accept those excessive praises, so he was not that happy in his heart, but more confused.
He thought, what should I give him? The base seemed to have everything they needed, including food and daily necessities. After all, there were only eleven people, and the annual consumption was limited. The team members also had the leisure to grow vegetables at the base, and they also had a lot of fun after training and entertainment.
It's not true that there is a shortage of materials, but some channels can make them much cheaper. Yang Xia wants to do big business and doesn't want to sign projects with small companies casually.
If you have enough money, it would be the easiest to buy directly from the base. But to be on the safe side, you still have to go through the motions.
"Mr. Lin, in view of your outstanding contribution to the Jiuzhou Headquarters, we have decided to grant you the title of Jiuzhou's only arms dealer. If you have any problems in the future, you can just show your official identity."
In the eyes of many countries, arms dealers are not a glorious profession. Instead, they are somewhat speculative and even suspected of deliberately provoking war. Therefore, the identity of arms dealers is not recognized internationally, and many may still be wanted, at least not allowed on the surface.
The country's attitude towards this industry is also rather vague. Although it has cooperated with arms dealers in private, it still does not admit it openly.
The bad thing is that the law does not protect the status of arms dealers. Sometimes, if they fail to reach an agreement with the government, they may go to jail. What's worse, they have just reached an agreement on cooperation and have a good relationship with the person in charge, but when the person in charge is replaced, they are arrested and charged with false charges, and finally lose their weapons.
Just like in the United States, the headquarters once cheated an arms dealer. They took the weapons but didn't want to pay, broke the contract at the last minute, and created negative news about the arms dealer, hoping to take what they wanted for zero money.
Of course, not all headquarters are so cruel. At least Mr. Xu and his team have never thought of getting something for free.
They would never threaten Yang Xia by saying things like “Arms dealers are also citizens of the country, so they should be like this…”
But now they can't do that because the law has recognized Yang Xia's status and he will not be arrested for some trivial matters.
Mr. Tao solemnly took out a gift box and opened it. Inside was a pure gold plate with "Jiuzhou Arms Dealer" written on it, inlaid with Hetian jade.
"This is the Kyushu Country's Outstanding Representative Medal!"
Yang Xia recognized it at a glance, because there are only a few such medals in the country and only a few people have received them.
This kind of medal cannot be obtained by having many papers or being powerful. Previous winners were all well-known figures, such as the academician who solved the global food crisis. Compared with these predecessors, Yang Xia felt that what he had done was not good enough.
This is different from medals for sports or good deeds, which are awarded at specific times.
The Medal of Outstanding Person is scored based on the individual's actual contribution. It is fair, open, and just, and has a very high value.
"That's right. To thank you for your contributions, we are now officially granting you the title of Kyushu's arms dealer. This is a unanimous decision made by the headquarters."
Tao Lao said slowly. In fact, during the regular meeting that day, some people opposed this proposal, mainly because they felt that Yang Xia was too young and did not match the weight of this medal.
But it is not fair to use seniority as an excuse. As an arms dealer of Jiuzhou, Yang Xia has been clear about his position from the beginning. Not only has he never done anything that is detrimental to Jiuzhou, but he has helped it in every way.
The arms that were difficult to obtain outside with a large sum of money, Kyushu could easily obtain through cooperation with the base. It can be said that as long as the headquarters had sufficient budget, all military personnel could be equipped with those weapons.
Of course, the Kyushu military has a large number of people and a limited budget at present. In addition, it is impossible to ask everyone to carry out the mission, so even if there is money, not all the funds will be invested in weapons.
"Is there something fishy going on? I really don't think I can handle this honor right now. It's too exaggerated..." Yang Xia couldn't help but say. He really didn't expect that this medal would fall on his head. There are so many people in the Kyushu National Research Institute. Their contributions to the country far exceed most people. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to replace one of them?
It was a happy thing to receive the medal, but now he felt a little pressure. He didn't do anything special, everything just went with the flow. But now that he has this honor, should he be more cautious? Yang Xia thought, behind the honor must be pressure, and there is inevitable anxiety.
Fortunately, he didn't have much anxiety about scientific research. According to gossip, the competition in the research institute was fierce, but with the help of the system, the base could continuously launch various weapons, and this alone could crush others.
Mr. Xu found it a little funny. This medal cannot be obtained by relying on connections. It requires the consent of everyone.
There were many people who opposed it at the beginning, but after learning about the deeds of the arms dealers in Kyushu, the opposition became less. When there were only a few opponents left, they simply changed their positions.
In the end, no one voted against it, making it the fastest decision in Kyushu's history.
A veto power brings many variables. If there are 20 people voting and one of them votes against, then the medal will basically be out of the question.
Some people may think that this voting method is unfair and easy to cheat. But in fact, the selection is not random, they will not deliberately make things difficult for people, and the main thing is to look at the results.
The name of Kyushu's arms dealer is too famous. Among the voters, those who have used the base's arms have all fallen in love with the excellent feeling of use.
It was just a title, although it was special and rare, it was not something that could not be given. When it came to the base, everyone finally stopped hesitating and voted in favor.
No matter how you analyze it, the result is obvious. The value of an arms dealer far exceeds the so-called medal. Of course, the existence of the medal also proves Yang Xia's strength.
"Don't think too much. I didn't participate in the voting this time. How could there be any trickery? It's unlikely that there will be a misjudgment in this level of selection."
"What you said is just a small favor. It is a rare opportunity for Kyushu. It is of great value. There is no need for you to underestimate yourself."
"At least dozens of people participated in this decision, and the result was reached while maintaining a veto power. In other words, everyone agreed and recognized your contribution!" Mr. Xu was not surprised by Yang Xia's idea. Because the medal is rarely given to young people, the previous winners were almost all in their seventies or eighties.
There are so many people who have made outstanding contributions in Kyushu that if we were to select them, there would probably be thousands of them. Therefore, there are certain requirements for the selection of candidates.
The veto power alone eliminated many people, which is why there were only a few winners in many years. Almost no one would vote against the respected seniors, but they were relatively harsh on the young people.
Especially for people with special identities like Yang Xia, the influence of a veto is very large. The current general stereotype is that people think young people are not good enough in all aspects and it is difficult for them to meet the standards. Basically, they need years of experience.
"I don't know how to describe my feelings right now. Anyway, I'm very happy to receive the high-level medal of Kyushu..."
Yang Xia did not prepare any acceptance speech. He only learned the news a few minutes ago and was still in a daze, unable to react.
He held the medal blankly, not knowing what to do, and not at all his usual calmness and composure. Only at this moment did he show a look that was consistent with his age.
Task Force 141 and the Black Rose Women's Special Operations Team didn't care about so many rules. They just knew that their boss had just won the medal of Kyushu Kingdom, and they were happy for Yang Xia from the bottom of their hearts.
"Boss, you are so awesome! If I remember correctly, there are less than ten recipients of this medal so far, right?"
"Is it so impressive? Let me take a look. This medal looks so high-end. It's made of pure gold, 24k gold. It feels heavy in my hand."
"I want to see it, too, but shouldn't we wear gloves to hold it? Don't get it dirty. This is the first medal the boss has ever won!"
"Be careful, don't drop it. This is definitely a medal with the highest gold content and is unique. Hey, maybe the boss can even win the Nobel Peace Prize next year, haha!"
McTavish started laughing first after he finished his complaint, and the others also got the joke in a second and laughed so hard that they fell over.
This was criticized a lot on the Internet before. US President Biden was planning wars everywhere, and then he was quiet for a few years, and he even won the Nobel Peace Prize.
The key is that he was very proud of it, as if he had won a great honor. He posted more than a dozen tweets, wishing that the whole world knew about his "contribution".
"No, I don't want to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Those who won this prize in history all ended up in bad situations..."
Yang Xia quickly waved his hand to refuse. The Kyushu Medal of Glory was already surprising enough for him, not to mention the Nobel Peace Prize.
The latter is more like an irony to some extent. Awarding the Peace Prize to those who are in the vortex of war is, needless to say, not a good thing.
He also doesn't want to become famous in this way. Awarding the Peace Prize to an arms dealer would make people laugh. I'm afraid that once the official announcement is made, all major social media platforms will be flooded with messages.
However, the medal that Yang Xia received will not be awarded publicly. This can be considered as a kind of protection for him, so that Kyushu Kingdom and the base will not become the target of public criticism at the same time, added Mr. Xu.
"There may not be an award ceremony for this medal, and it will not be specifically mentioned at the subsequent two sessions, and it is highly likely that it will not be announced to the public."
"It's mainly due to the special situation of the base. Exposing the close connection between Kyushu's arms dealers and Kyushu's headquarters is not a good thing."
"Someone with ulterior motives may use this to spread rumors. We don't know how it will spread. In order to avoid misleading the public and generating negative emotions, let's keep this matter private first."
When Mr. Xu said this, he didn't think Yang Xia would mind, because he knew Yang Xia and knew that the other party had never thought about making it public.
In fact, what is popular internationally now is just the title of Kyushu's arms dealer, which has nothing to do with Yang Xia himself.
He has always kept a low profile and basically no useful information can be dug out of him. The last time he showed up was because he made a generous donation to his alma mater, which caused a sensation.
However, it was only spread in a small circle and the news was quickly blocked by the school. The media also deliberately did not report it. As time goes by, it is now more difficult than imagined to find out anything.
Yang Xia was very happy to hear Mr. Xu's explanation. He really didn't want to attend any commendation meeting. Theoretically, as long as he left the base, he might become a target and cause trouble to the people around him.
Moreover, there are too many forces eyeing him, he cannot let his guard down at all, and the safest place now is the base.
"It's okay. I understand. This is the best way. Keep it secret if possible. Otherwise, the United States and other countries may turn their attacks to Kyushu."
"Of course, there's no need to worry too much about this right now. They may not be able to take care of themselves!"
Yang Xia said meaningfully, but he didn't say clearly what it was, so Xu Lao and others might have misunderstood.
Their first reaction was that the equipment of elite teams from various countries had malfunctioned, and the price they paid this time would be enough to make those people feel painful for a while.
It’s like the headquarters of some countries. The money lost is not the government’s money, but is equivalent to taking it out of the leaders’ own pockets. It would be strange if they are in a good mood.
For example, for President Radi, it would be no problem for him to use 2 billion US dollars to build a building for his own residence and hire hundreds of servants, but if it were any other situation, it would be like cutting his flesh.
"Indeed, they will not be able to cause trouble to the base or Kyushu in a short period of time, but it is their own fault, there is nothing to say!"
Wang Bo then said that they would have to help those elite teams on their way back. After all, their equipment had been irreversibly damaged and they could only rely on external help in a short period of time.
Having said that, everyone felt a lot more relaxed. They couldn't even take care of the biggest threat now, so they didn't need to be too anxious.
As long as the United States and other countries calm down, everything will be fine. There won't be any major troubles. World peace is just around the corner!
After all, some of the more turbulent regions now are caused by the decisions of Baipu and others. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the culprits. (End of this chapter)
