Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

"They are researching the future of weapons this time. If you don't go, do you plan to do it on your own? Besides, they are doing this in the hope that humans can move towards greater harmony."

"Towards universal harmony? That must be led by Atlantis. If you ask directly, we will definitely participate."

Put was now in a dilemma.

"How about this? You go to their weapons conference. After it's over, I'll invite weapons dealers from all over the world to Atlantis and we'll hold a carnival. How do you think?"

"Isn't this just a change of name but the same substance? Then people will feel that we always have to listen to Kyushu."

Put finally got angry and slammed the table.

"Okay, you don't have to go. I'll send my Minister of Defense over."

Lawrence smiled.

"Sure. Since the weapons manufacturers are unwilling to go, I will participate on behalf of the country. This also shows how much we value weapons."

Put was overjoyed when he heard this. Finally someone stepped forward at the critical moment.

"The Minister of Defense is really awesome. This matter is settled. Anyway, my Minister of Defense has not resigned yet, and I haven't approved the letter."

After hearing this, these weapons manufacturers looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never expected that Lawrence would stand up and directly support Kyushu at the critical moment.

Jiangchuan has already started intensive preparations. Many experts, including Chen Fei, have formed a large delegation.

A few days later, the weapons conference finally kicked off, and everyone realized that this conference was more like an exhibition.

In his speech on the first day, Jiang Chuan outlined his ambitions.

"Everyone! My speech is about to end, but I want to ask you a question: Do we really need to use these high-energy-consuming weapons now? I know that everyone is still focusing on missiles and artillery shells, but please think carefully about how much carbon dioxide is produced after the explosion of these weapons?"

Everyone looked at each other, no one had thought about this question.

"The purpose of war is mainly to destroy the enemy's weapons, but in this way, the global climate will become worse and worse. I think everyone should also notice that extreme weather has occurred frequently in the past two years. So can we solve the problem from another level?"

At this time, someone put forward his own idea.

Lawrence was listening carefully in the audience. It seemed that this was Jiang Chuan's first step to transform the world.

Put looked at all this and thought about what he should do next. Although domestic construction had already begun, progress was indeed very slow.

And the annual military expenditure is indeed huge.

"It's really impressive. I didn't expect you to bring up the topic that all of humanity is most concerned about this time."

"It's just a pity that not a single weapons dealer from Atlantis came to participate. Does everyone dislike me?"

Jiang Chuan sighed.

"That's true. These businessmen are so proud of their achievements that they think they don't need to think about meaningless things."

These weapons suppliers are more concerned about the principle issue, that is, how to make money. If such a platform is built, there must be some new weapons that are both cheap and profitable.

So these businessmen are now starting to think that if they really upgrade according to Jiangchuan’s requirements, it will be a comprehensive technological innovation.

In fact, the weapons suppliers gathered together this time with a hidden agenda, which was to establish a true cooperative relationship with Kyushu. Due to personal feelings, and the fact that Atlantis was now their staunch ally, many things could not be said openly.

This is also why, except for Lawrence, politicians from other countries are not very willing to attend the conference, and Jiang Chuan has become a popular commodity at this conference.

After Lawrence talked to him, several suppliers came directly to Jiang Chuan.

"Boss Xu, you should understand in your heart that our current situation..." Several bosses shook their heads, looking helpless.

"We have made a lot of contributions before, but we are also in a tight spot now. The country is short of funds, and it would be great if you could help us. The leaders are reluctant to come forward, so let me pass on a message."

"That's what I mean. Our situation is not good right now. You know the relationship with Atlantis."

"I heard that you have started to invest in Atlantis. Can you also give us some financial assistance?"

……

Representatives from various European countries put forward their demands to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan was quite surprised. He originally just wanted to gain everyone's recognition through this meeting and work together to make the world a better place. He didn't expect that everyone was eyeing his wallet.

"This... I can't say much now. This has to be decided by our superiors." Jiang Chuan was a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Xu, please give us a definite answer. Is this possible? We are having a hard time right now. The weapons sales platform you proposed can indeed make money, but the prerequisite is that everyone has to have money to buy it."

Jiang Chuan then realized that the most urgent thing now was not to build a beautiful home, but to help these countries overcome their difficulties.

"Let me put it this way. You may not know that this winter in our countries will be extremely cold, and ordinary people will have to find ways to burn fires to keep warm."

"I understand. You want us to provide some resources, right?" Jiang Chuan nodded.

"Yes, and you also know our relationship with Pros."

"Stop!" Jiang Chuan quickly stopped the topic.

"We won't discuss these. We will do what we can, but whether we can provide them to you depends on your leaders and our superiors."

Jiang Chuan smiled and eased the atmosphere.

"I'm inviting everyone to dinner tonight and have a cocktail party so that everyone can chat with each other. We can indeed give you some help within our capacity, but it will never involve sensitive issues."

"Ok."

Jiang Chuan was actually quite nervous, because he remembered that his superiors had warned him not to get involved in the vortex of the world situation.

When Xu Jiajia returned home in the afternoon, she was playing with her children.

"You have to attend a cocktail party with me tonight." Jiang Chuan said.

"Me?" Xu Jiajia was a little reluctant. She had just given birth to a child and her figure had not yet recovered. Besides, the child needed her company.

"Listen to me, this is a new opportunity for us. It depends on us whether we can seize it." Jiang Chuan explained.

"Opportunity?" Xu Jiajia was surprised.

Jiang Chuan told her everything that happened during the meeting today. "I thought, since you're holding this weapons conference, why not take this opportunity to invite the higher-ups to attend as well."

"This is a gathering of businessmen." Xu Jiajia was a little confused.

"On the surface, it's a gathering of businessmen, but haven't you noticed? All the weapons suppliers who come to Kyushu have their own agenda. They are eager for you to invest because you are Kyushu's business card. I think you can take this opportunity to expand yourself, which will benefit everyone. I believe the superiors will agree with me."

"Okay." Xu Jiajia nodded.

Jiang Chuan immediately told Chen Guodong the news. Chen Guodong was also not ambiguous, and immediately rushed to the capital to report Jiang Chuan's idea to his superiors.

"You did a great job. You really did something big this time. I'll be leaving for you right away."

That evening, the cocktail party was held as scheduled.

"Everyone, welcome to our cocktail party. Let me announce one thing first. Our superiors will personally attend our conference tomorrow morning." Jiang Chuan said.

These businessmen are all looking forward to the arrival of their superiors at this moment. They come from all corners of the world, and if someone can lend a helping hand, that would be of great help.

The cocktail party went exceptionally smoothly and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

However, Lawrence began to realize that Atlantis's position in the world was no longer what it used to be and was gradually declining.

But in fact, everyone is well aware of these situations and has already noticed them.

"Oh!" Lawrence sighed helplessly and shook his head.

"Perhaps the current situation has become increasingly serious, and I understand everyone's concerns," he said to himself.

After returning to the hotel, Lawrence seemed even more helpless and confused. He knew that he had to take action to save this country which was declining day by day.

As night fell, he came to Jiangchuan alone with an earnest look.

"Actually, I'm here on behalf of my country. We need to have a good talk. You know how serious the current situation is, right?" Lawrence said straight to the point.

"Well, there's an old saying that goes 'Those who do too much evil will eventually perish.' You and I both know the reasons why we have come to this point today, so there's no need for me to say more." Jiang Chuan responded calmly.

"Yes." Lawrence shook his head helplessly. What he cared most about now was how to save this crumbling country.

"You don't have to worry about this country every day," Jiang Chuan advised, "In fact, we have done a lot. The reason why it has become like this is mainly because of your president."

"I don't want to hear the reasons, I just want to know what to do. After attending your conference this time, I gradually understand what is needed for the rise of a great power." Lawrence said eagerly.

"Okay!" Jiang Chuan nodded. He began to realize that Lawrence had seen the crisis of Atlantis.

"Although we have experienced a catastrophe this time, Atlantis is still a complete country. What I am most worried about is that these wars will lead to the disintegration of the country. If this is the case, we will become historical sinners." Jiang Chuan said earnestly.

"Yes," Lawrence agreed.

Jiang Chuan smiled calmly: "To be honest, your country is indeed not doing well enough in some aspects, but I will not comment on it today. Because I know that my mission has been basically completed. I just hope that you can understand what your current mission is."

"My mission?" Lawrence looked confused.

"The purpose of my convening the World Arms Conference this time is not only to allow businessmen from all over the world to discuss cooperation, but more importantly to attract your country of Atlantis. But I didn't expect that none of your consortiums came, but you, the Minister of Defense, were forced to come." Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

Lawrence sighed: "Yeah, so what? You know my situation, I can only try my best to make the country look better."

"But no matter how much you do now, it's meaningless because you have lost all the opportunities and conditions." Jiang Chuan said bluntly.

"But what do I think? This country has exhausted me. I can't..." Lawrence was a little helpless.

"You must put aside your arrogance. This is very important for you. You used to be a powerful country in the world, so you think you are superior, but please think carefully, what do you have left now?" Jiang Chuan said earnestly.

Lawrence shook his head and sighed.

"It's a pity that I have no say." He said helplessly.

"It's okay, you can do it yourself. My idea is very simple. This is a rare opportunity. If we can successfully reverse the situation, why not do it? But the truth is not that simple. At least I have gradually seen some serious problems now." Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

"Give yourself a chance. You know what to do. If you really want your country to continue to struggle like this, I have nothing to say. But if you are willing to cooperate, I believe we can get out of this predicament." Jiang Chuan put forward his own suggestions.

"First of all, we need to make some tangible achievements in energy conservation and emission reduction. After all, we are a responsible major country. We should also let everyone see our sincerity," Jiang Chuan continued.

"Okay!" Lawrence nodded as if he suddenly understood.

"I will definitely persuade the President when I return, but I have to tell you that he is a very stubborn person," Lawrence said.

"It doesn't matter, you just need to do your job well. After all, you are just the Minister of Defense. If the other party disagrees, what else can you do to him? Can you kill him?"
"Correct!"

Lawrence could only shake his head helplessly.

"Just do what you think is right and don't worry about anything else. But you have to remember, if the president still insists on having his own way, then I suggest you give up your position as soon as possible. Kyushu is a vast country with great potential."

"it is good!"

The weapons conference finally reached a resolution, and everyone decided to go their separate ways and carry out various aspects of cooperation in accordance with the wishes of Kyushu.

However, things did not go smoothly. Although this resolution was considered a good move by everyone, not everyone was happy with it.

What followed were tedious negotiations, and many arms dealers decided not to return home for the time being, even though the arms conference had ended.

Lawrence returned directly to Atlantis.

"how is the situation?"

Put is still very concerned about this matter.

"Mr. President, they really take this conference very seriously. And let me tell you, those businessmen are actually here to seek help from Kyushu. So, this may seem like a weapons conference, but it's actually a conference for help. Many businessmen know exactly what they want to do."

"What for? Are the heads of those countries planning to go to Kyushu to seek investment?"

"That's right!"

When Put heard this, he slumped in his chair. He had never expected that this would happen.

"This……"

"Mr. President, we have no reason to persist any longer. If we continue to be so stubborn, we will only be losers in the end. Please think clearly, this is our only chance now." (End of this chapter)
