The Terra Travel Diary of Neither Sacred, Rhea, nor Terra

As if aware of its scary appearance, the robot explained to the officer:

"I'm sorry to scare you, but I have to rely on these prostheses to maintain my activities due to some things."

After saying this, with an expression on his face as if he didn't know whether to believe it or not, the officer walked into the building where the command center was located, holding a pipe in his mouth.

Half an hour later, the robot from the Meilan Foundation was personally sent out by the commander of John's mother's army, who sent the robot to the car with a smile on his face.

Then he waved his hand and let the old Fleet car drive towards the Rhine Life Factory, which was supposed to be completely blocked.

However, this agent of the Melander Foundation, who was highly treated in John's mother's garrison, was turned away at the door of the Rhine factory.

Not only was the door turned away, but this old Fleetwood sedan just crossed the red line.

More than a dozen fixed crossbows on the factory gate immediately turned around and aimed at the car.

The robot, fearing that his beloved car would be blown up by an accidental discharge, quickly got out of the car, holding high the certificate in his hand to show that he had no ill intentions.

Then the robot with its hands raised was targeted by the fixed crossbow for about five minutes.

It was not until an engineer on duty, who looked like an immortal, finished his lunch that he noticed this place.

The engineer who zoomed in the camera took a look at the ID in the other party's hand, and instead of rushing to open the door to welcome the guest like John's mother's troops, he first uploaded the other party's profile picture to the database for identification.

Unfortunately, the factory’s database does not contain the other party’s data, and the headquarters cannot be contacted at present.

So the engineer, who had heard of the Melander Foundation but did not care as much about it as the officers of John's mother, passed the information to the command center, and then the engineer on duty at the command center passed it on to the engineer in charge of combat command.

Finally, the engineer in charge today will hand it over to General Manager Christen himself.

After this back and forth, the robot was asked to wait for another five minutes with its hands raised.

After the door opened, the robot that walked in wanted to find someone to complain about how difficult it was to enter Rhine Life's door, but couldn't find anyone.

Because there was only a small medical mechanical vehicle to lead him.

When the robot came to the meeting room to meet him, the silence he had been holding back all the way disappeared instantly.

Because he saw someone here who shouldn't be here.

The robot from the Melander Foundation paused for a moment on Kristen and Amiya, then finally stopped at Kal'tsit and asked:

"It's been a long time, Lord Kelsey. When was the last time we met?"

"Maybe it was when the war started, or when it ended."

Kal'tsit was not surprised that the robot in front of her would ask her the question first, so she answered it.

"Now that I hear about that war from your mouth, I can't help but have some strange feelings, Lord Kelsey who unified the world."

The Tin Man said this in a somewhat emotional tone.

"That's already in the past. It has no meaning in the present except to add some gloomy memories," Kal'tsit said.

"You are absolutely right, Lord Kal'tsit. Both you and I have made some incredible choices." The Tin Man nodded in agreement.

"What should I call you now?" Kelsey asked without discussing anything else.

"Tin Man, that's what my colleagues call me.

The name, after all, means nothing to me."

The Tin Man answered in the tone of a conversation with an old friend.

"So you represent the Melander Foundation now?" Kal'tsit asked.

"Yes, but that's not the point, Lord Kelsey." The Tin Man looked at Kristen and Amiya beside Kelsey again, still not paying attention to Miku and continued:

"I would like to know what role you or the forces you currently lead have played in this dispute?"

“Is this your question or the Melander Foundation’s?”

Kelsey asked back.

"Personally, I would prefer that you leave these trivial matters alone," said the Tin Man.

Corporate Wars: What is "healthy competition" in Colombia?

But when it comes to foreign forces, and foreign forces suspected to be the Kazdel government-in-exile, things become complicated.

Now the army of Regent Kazdel is still showing off its might in Londinium, the capital of Victoria.

Colombia is just a new country that split from Victoria a few decades ago, taking advantage of the War of the Four Emperors.

"Rhodes Island just stayed here unintentionally, and has nothing to do with this matter..." Kal'tsit, who was about to distance herself from it, suddenly remembered that Professor Miku was right beside her.

As it stands, it would be a lie to say that Miku has nothing to do with this company.

So Kal'tsit turned her gaze to Miku beside her, and the other two people present also looked at Miku.

Unexpectedly, Miku was the one who made the decision in this meeting. The Tin Man realized that he had made a mistake. He thought of someone and immediately asked:

"Could it be that you are the commander of the Tower of Babel?"

Tin Man still remembered that the intelligence said that the civil war in Kazdel not long ago ended with Theresa being stabbed and the doctor, the commander-in-chief of Babel Tower, being seriously injured.

So because of the serious injury, he transformed his body to be almost the same as his own?

It was also because of this that the Tin people boldly guessed that Miku was the seriously injured commander of the Tower of Babel.

"In a sense, you can say that." From the moment the Tin Man walked into the meeting room, Miku looked at him with great interest.

Lich? Not really. More like some kind of undead spirit possessing a robot.

In a world that has developed its own technological system, the existence of mysterious undead creatures is indeed keeping pace with the times.

The Tin Man, who didn't understand why Miku used such an ambiguous method to admit his identity, nodded and said:

"It's an honor to meet you, Doctor of Babel."

"Now it's Rhodes Island, immortal soul." Miku also nodded slightly in response.

The tin man, who didn't care about how Miku addressed him, followed Miku's correction and continued to ask;

"Then may I ask if Rhodes Island has any involvement in this trivial matter?"

"This matter has nothing to do with Rhodes Island."

Miku's response made the Tin Man feel relieved, but Miku's next words confused the Tin Man again:

“It’s just about me personally.”

"..." Curious about what Miku meant, Tin Man looked at Miku and then at Kal'tsit. Seeing that Kal'tsit did not deny it, Tin Man could only nod and say:

"So it's only about you. Indeed, Doctor, you have a great reputation among many universities in Columbia. It is only natural that you would provide assistance to General Kristen."

Whether this is true or not, at least this is what the Tin Man wrote in his report after he decided to go back.

Thinking this, the Tin Man deliberately emphasized the word "once".

"Not only that, General Kristen is also my wife."

"..." The atmosphere in the conference room fell into a state of freezing because of Miku's casual words.

Kal'tsit, who always had a calm expression and only slightly changed, opened her eyes wide, and Amiya was instantly offline.

Christen's computer also crashed for a moment, but she immediately leaned slightly to the side, moving closer to Miku, the only one standing in the conference room, to prove that what Miku said was true.

However, the brief downtime of Christen did not escape the tin man's notice, but he did not expose it either. He nodded again and said:

"Then I would like to congratulate you two on your marriage. It would be even better if it could be peaceful, Commander Christen."

Well... this step is good, I will also write it in the report.

Following this step, the Tin Man finally turned the topic to Christen.

In the Tin Man's mission this time, General Christen's attitude is the most important.

By the way, General Christen's current image is quite compatible with Dr. Rhodes Island, who has very little flesh left on his body.

"So, you're here to be a lobbyist?"

As if she was a little annoyed that the Tin Man had not talked to her until now, Kristen's tone sounded aggressive.

"Indeed, I am here on the orders of the Melander Foundation and Vice President Jackson to mediate the conflict between Rhine Life and John's Mother."

The Tin Man bowed politely and said:

"So, you also know that my deadline was postponed for one day by the Melander Foundation and the Vice President's Office?" Kristen continued to ask.

After fusing the memories, Christen also knew why she

Arrived in Tikalundo one day later than expected.

As expected, I should arrive here before John's mother can react.

"That's just a misunderstanding, General Manager Christen. After all, not everyone in the Melander Foundation is of the same mind."

The Tin Man was not surprised that Kristen brought up this matter, because it was indeed John's mother who exerted some influence and let the Vice President's Office hold Kristen back.

"Then do you know that my private plane was shot down by John's mother's troops when it arrived in Tikarendo City?"

Kristen continued to ask aggressively.

"Ah, this actually happened. I have to say, it's really regrettable." There was a hint of surprise in the Tin Man's response.

It was as if he didn't know about it either... No matter whether the Tin Man knew about it or not, he had to pretend that he didn't know about it.

"If it weren't for the doctor from Rhodes Island, the general manager of Rhine Life would have to be replaced." It didn't matter whether the Tin Man really didn't know or was pretending to be ignorant. Christen said in a tone that sounded like a mocking tone.

Because it was the Melander Foundation and the Vice President's Office that worked together to delay her for a day.

When she flew to Tikarendo, she was shot down by John's mother who realized who wanted to go to war with her.

After integrating the memories, the future Christen also had a deep memory of what happened to her at this time.

Not to mention that now that she has merged into one, she is the Christen of this timeline.

Listening to Christen's words, the Tin Man felt that his goal would not be achieved.

The Tin Man originally thought that Commander Christen's current look, which matched Dr. Rhodes Island's, was just a test of Rhine Life's new technology... Rhine Life, which is home to many crazy scientists, always develops some magical technologies.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that he was the same as Dr. Rhodes Island. He was seriously injured and had to replace most of his body tissues with this strange metal.

As a result, there is basically no room for mediation between the two companies, and it can be said that they are at war to the death... It would even be better if General Manager Christen died in that attack.

However, as a matter of duty, the Tin Man still stated the conditions proposed by John's mother:

"John's mother is willing to exchange 9% of the company's shares for 2% of Rhine Life's shares, and is willing to transfer the chain supermarket in Tremont at a low price."

The Tin Man directly stated John's mother's bottom line. Since there would be no agreement anyway, there was no need to consider bargaining in the middle.

And what if Kristen is impressed by the offer?

After all, thanks to its monopoly on Columbia food and supermarkets, John's Mama's company's market value is almost three times that of Rhine Life.

9% of the company's shares is equivalent to one-third of Rhine Life's market value.

"Haha" Kristen had no interest in this condition.

Not to mention that John's mother's wealth has not changed, while the market value of Rhine Life is increasing every day.

Even someone with a severe cold can smell John's mother's ambition to intervene in the high-tech field through equity swaps.

The question is, do the people like John's mom who make jelly beans have this ability?

"Anything else you want to say? If not, don't waste any more time."

Christen ordered the Tin Man to leave. If this were in Da Yan, she would have picked up her teacup by now.

"In any case, the Melander Foundation does not want Rhine Life and Mama John to have such a bad relationship. After all, Mama John controls more than 70% of the food supply of all mobile cities in Colombia, and Tremont is no exception." The Tin Man sighed and said.

If what he just said was an olive branch, then this sentence was an outright threat.

And it is a threat that puts everyone in Colombia on the line.

People can be naked, have difficulty traveling, and have no roof over their heads to shelter from the rain, but they must never be without food.

The Melander Foundation, where the Tin Man works, came to mediate in such a hurry because ever since John's mother monopolized the food supply in Colombia, she has often used this method to threaten other companies, and it can be said that it has been successful every time.

"That depends on whether Big Mom has the courage." Kristen laughed.

Although Christen is a scientist, as someone who was able to establish such a large consortium as Rhine Life, he is no novice in capital operation and business.

This threat from John's mother is indeed very effective, but if she really encounters an opponent who doesn't fall for it, would she really dare to use it?

If Big Mom really dares to carry out her threat, then there is no need for Rhine Life to take action, and it will be enough to make John's mother a thing of the past.

More importantly, if it really comes to deterrence, Kristen doesn't think any company in Colombia can be more deterrent than Rhine Life.
