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

Everyone left one after another, but Minister Tim and Baip were not in a hurry to leave. After the meeting room was empty, the two of them talked in low voices for a few more words.

Some things are difficult to say in front of everyone, so they chatted for about half an hour, exchanged views, and basically had the same attitude.

"Okay, then we'll send those ministers to visit some countries and solve the funding problem. It's time to let them do something."

"Normally, when they are at the headquarters, they only care about their own interests. When something really happens, no one is willing to take the lead. They dare not even raise an idea, for fear of taking responsibility."

"If I could, I would fire them all and hire some young people to do the real work without paying them such high salaries."

"If I hadn't considered the power behind them, none of them would meet my requirements and they should all be kicked out. They all graduated from prestigious universities, but they are so stupid..."

Baipu expressed his dissatisfaction without any scruples. Even in front of those people, he could say these words, not to mention that there were only two people in the meeting room, so there was no need to worry about exposing anything.

"Indeed, they are all corrupt and used to a comfortable life. They can't do anything at all. This is a good opportunity to train them."

"Not only that, if they fail, we will have a reason to send them out, away from the headquarters temporarily, to hone their skills."

"With so many people, how can we not have one person who can do practical work? We can't rely on the two of us to come up with ideas every time. Once their own interests are involved, they object faster than anyone else, but no one speaks to the point."

Minister Tim sighed deeply. He didn't know since when most leaders at the US headquarters became like this.

He felt powerless from the bottom of his heart. Some words were stuck in his throat and he just couldn't say them out smoothly. In fact, Baipu was essentially that kind of person. From top to bottom, there were really many problems exposed, like a sieve with thousands of holes.

The losses they have suffered recently, including their current situation, are enough to prove that they cannot continue like this and must make thorough corrections! Otherwise, they will be dragged down by these messes sooner or later.

same moment.

It was just night time in Kyushu.

The streets and alleys are brightly lit, making the entire city look like a dream.

In the capital, in an ancient courtyard.

Shen Jiahao's excited voice echoed in the courtyard: "Haha, the king finally replied to my message!!"

The voice was filled with uncontrollable joy, as if one had won the lottery.

In the room, Shen Jiahao sat on the bed, his face full of excitement, his hands tightly holding the mobile phone, his eyes fixed on the screen, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.

The moment he received Yang Xia's reply, he instinctively wanted to rush to Shen Guo's room and tell him the good news. He sat up from the bed abruptly, his feet already in his slippers, but just as he sat up from the bed, he realized...

Grandpa was called to a meeting and was not at home at all.

"Tell grandpa first so he can be mentally prepared!" he said to himself, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

He muttered and quickly typed a text message. His fingers quickly tapped on the screen, and he read as he typed: "Grandpa, I have contacted the king and will be able to help you connect soon!"

After editing, Shen Jiahao immediately sent the message, and then replied to Yang Xia, his fingers clacking on the screen: "My lord, can we video chat now?"

After a while, Yang Xia's message came back: "It's not convenient now. I have something to deal with here."

Shen Jiahao felt a little disappointed, but he quickly replied: "Oh, well, you go ahead and do your thing, and be sure to tell me when you are free!"

Yang Xia quickly replied: "Don't worry, I will video chat with you as soon as I'm done with my work here."

Shen Jiahao smiled again and replied, "Okay, my king, I'll wait for your news!"

"can."

Yang Xia had nothing to do at the moment and responded quickly, at least he didn't have to wait another day and night.

When Shen Jiahao saw the reply, he quickly jumped off the bed, straightened his clothes, clicked on the video call request, and put his phone on the cabinet.

Soon, the video call was connected.

Seeing Yang Xia appear on the screen was the same as what I saw in Dai Xiaomei’s live broadcast room, and he even looked more handsome and majestic.

Without hesitation, with a very serious expression, he saluted towards the phone with his fists.

"Your Majesty, I am Baron Shen Jiahao and I pay my respects to the King!"

……

……

same moment.

Central Theater Command Conference Room.

Shen Guo and seven other elders sat around the conference table.

These old men seemed to be in their sixties or seventies.

Wearing a neat military uniform.

The epaulettes on their shoulders indicated their identities...

Just like Shen Guo, they are all generals!

These generals are the commanders of the Central Theater and have just taken their seats. They gathered here for no other reason than to discuss the cooperation between the State of Shen and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, Shen Guo glanced at the message sent by his grandson on his phone, a faint smile appeared on his face, then he looked at the other generals and said with a smile: "Everyone, before we start, let me tell you a good news. My grandson has finally contacted the King of Great Zhou again, and he said he will help us to connect with the King of Great Zhou in a while."

Hearing this, the old man sitting in the first seat nodded with a smile: "That's great! It's just in time for the seminar I convened tonight."

This old man was the oldest general present and the only admiral.

His name is Xu Cheng, and he is the commander-in-chief of the Central Theater Command.

After that, Xu Cheng turned his gaze to Shen Guo and said with a smile: "General Shen, please tell us your thoughts in detail."

"Yes, Chief!"

Shen Guo nodded, put away the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Everyone has read the information. The Great Zhou Dynasty is located near the Norwegian Kingdom, which is close to a golden waterway. Previously, this waterway has been controlled by Western countries. Our Kyushu cargo ships and merchant ships cannot enter or exit this waterway. But if we reach a cooperation with the Great Zhou Dynasty, then our Kyushu Kingdom can legitimately use this golden waterway."

After listening to this, the other generals pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

"If that's the case, then there is indeed a need for cooperation!"

"I remember that golden waterway. I negotiated its lease on behalf of Kyushu a few years ago, but the rent was ridiculously high. I just didn't want Kyushu to use it!"

"Although it's just a waterway, if we can take this opportunity to open it, it will be a great help to our Kyushu Kingdom!"

……

The more they talked, the more enthusiastic the generals became.

at this time.

Xu Cheng's voice rang out, interrupting their discussion.

“It would be great if we could take this opportunity to open up this waterway.”

"but……"

At this point, Xu Cheng changed the subject, frowned slightly, and expressed his concerns: "I remember that there are Blackbeard pirates around that waterway."

"I believe everyone is familiar with the Blackbeard Pirates. So far, the international community has been unable to deal with them."

"and……"

"The leader of the Blackbeard Pirates once openly targeted our Kyushu Country and was full of hostility towards us!" "The cargo ships and merchant ships of those Western countries have been robbed countless times on that waterway. If the Blackbeard Pirates knew that our Kyushu Country's cargo ships and merchant ships also sailed on that waterway, they might be targeted!"

"It is because the benefits that Western countries can gain from passing through the Golden Waterway are so huge that they can afford the occasional loss of being robbed."

"But my Kyushu country..."

Xu Cheng didn't continue talking.

The other generals also understood what he wanted to express and fell into deep thought for a moment.

indeed!

If the cargo ships and merchant ships of Kyushu Kingdom want to pass through the Golden Waterway, they must give up some of their interests to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If we are targeted by pirates again...

Forget about making a profit, I'm afraid you'll lose everything!
and……

The personal safety of Kyushu citizens cannot be guaranteed yet!

It would be embarrassing to lose the goods.

Not worth the candle!

And just then.

“Ding Dong Ding… Ding Dong Ding…”

Shen Guo's cell phone rang.

Shen Guo glanced at the screen and found that it was his grandson who called on video, so he looked at the other generals: "Everyone, my grandson Xiaohao called on video!"

After saying that, he looked at Xu Cheng and nodded, indicating that he could answer the video call.

As Shen Guo pressed the [Connect] button, he smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, everyone. Cooperation, what is cooperation? Isn't it that both parties work together for mutual benefit? We can talk slowly with the Great Zhou Dynasty. If there are any problems, we can solve them together!"

The other generals nodded when they heard this. Yes, if there are any problems, we can solve them together and make profits together, that’s what we call cooperation!

And just then.

Shen Jiahao's voice rang out in the confidential meeting room: "Grandpa!"

On the screen, Shen Jiahao waved excitedly at Shen Guo: "The king has agreed to video chat with you. I will transfer the video call to you now!"

"it is good."

Shen Guo smiled and nodded. While Shen Jiahao was transferring the video call, he operated his mobile phone and projected the image onto the big screen in the conference room.

As soon as the delivery was completed, the video call was transferred.

Suddenly!

Yang Xia appeared on the big screen!

Very handsome! .
Unfathomable!

The King of the Great Zhou really looks extraordinary!

Looking at Yang Xia on the big screen, the generals felt that he was even more outstanding than what they had seen in the recording of Dai Xiaomei's live broadcast, and they couldn't help but admire him in their hearts.

While they were looking at Yang Xia, Yang Xia was also looking at them.

Good guy!
Among the barons of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there actually is the general’s grandson!

This really brings an opportunity for the Great Zhou Dynasty to cooperate with the Jiuzhou Kingdom!

Although Yang Xia didn't completely doubt Shen Jiahao before, he didn't completely believe him either. But now, looking at the old people appearing on the mobile phone screen, many of whom were usually seen on TV, and the shining golden stars on their military uniforms, he completely believed it!

At this time, Shen Guo's voice sounded.

"Hello, King of Great Zhou, I am Shen Jiahao's grandfather, and the commander of the military sub-district of the Central Theater of Kyushu, Shen Guo."

Shen Guo waved to Yang Xia, then gestured to the other generals: "These generals are the same as me."

When it came to Xu Cheng,

He stopped.

"This is the commander-in-chief of the Central Theater, General Xu Cheng!"

After Shen Guo's introduction, other generals, led by Xu Cheng, also greeted Yang Xia with a smile.

"Hello, generals of Kyushu."

Yang Xia smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Shen Guo and Xu Cheng and asked, "I heard from Baron Shen Jiahao that Jiuzhou Kingdom is interested in cooperating with our Great Zhou Dynasty?"

At this moment, the emperor's temperament came into play!
He was not at all nervous because there were several generals sitting opposite him, and his every move showed his calmness and sophistication!

"exactly."

As soon as Yang Xia opened his mouth, Xu Cheng felt his extraordinaryness even more. Without any contempt, he nodded seriously and said, "King of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty has just emerged. You may not know much about it. There is a golden waterway in the sea near the Great Zhou Dynasty."

He briefly summarized the content of the cooperation that Shen Guo had just mentioned.

After that, Xu Cheng added, "I wonder if the Great Zhou Dynasty is interested in this cooperation?"

As soon as Xu Cheng finished speaking, Yang Xia began to think about it and felt that this would be extremely beneficial to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Not only can we gain Kyushu as a reliable partner and make profits, but we can also rely on this cooperation to appear in the international vision and have a place in the international arena, no longer being a rootless duckweed.

This will make some greedy but powerful countries like the Atlan Empire hesitate when they want to take action against themselves, thus buying more time for the Great Zhou Dynasty to develop!

Only a fool would not cooperate!

Yang Xia nodded slowly and said with a faint smile: "General Xu Cheng, the Great Zhou Dynasty is very interested in this cooperation!"

Hearing this, Xu Cheng and other generals were delighted.

Xu Cheng's eyes flashed, and then he said: "Since the Great Zhou Dynasty is also interested, the cooperation is considered to be initially reached. However, there are still many issues that need to be discussed and resolved together, and it will take a while to finish. In order to show sincerity, my Jiuzhou country is willing to send a general to the Great Zhou Dynasty to discuss with you, the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, face to face. What do you think?"

The reason why he suddenly proposed to send generals to the Great Zhou Dynasty
In addition to demonstrating the magnanimity of the Jiuzhou Kingdom, it also wants to send people to conduct an on-site investigation of the Great Zhou Dynasty to see if it has the strength to carry out deeper cooperation!
"So good!"

Yang Xia smiled and nodded.

And he hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Ding-dong--!"

A message alert sounded in the conference room.

However, the sound did not come from any general's cell phone, but from Yang Xia's cell phone!
Yang Xia looked at the dialog box that popped up on the screen of his mobile phone, which displayed the words "Mengyin". His eyes suddenly lit up. Could it be that they had found the base camp of the Blackbeard Pirates?
Xu Chengren was an experienced man. He could tell at a glance that Yang Xia's mind was no longer here, so he said with a smile: "King of the Great Zhou, let's leave it at that for today. I will send a general to the Great Zhou Dynasty later and we can discuss it in detail!"

His words were exactly what Yang Xia wanted!
"good!"

"I just happened to be going to take care of some things."

Yang Xia smiled and nodded, then waved his hand: "In that case, I will wait for the arrival of the generals of Jiuzhou Kingdom in the Great Zhou Dynasty!" (End of this chapter)
