NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 208
Chapter 208 What? Has The Lighthouse Country Paid Protection Fees To The Dragon Country?
“You’re right, we can do it.
“But…”
Zhang Tianhua smiled and said leisurely.
“Seria is a sovereign nation.””
“It seems inappropriate for the Lighthouse State to send a large number of armed people in without the permission of the Celia government?
Ah? His words made many people stunned.
Strictly speaking, such a thing is indeed very taboo.
Even from the perspective of international law, it can be said to be an armed invasion of a sovereign state.
But the point is that the Lighthouse State is known to be domineering and unruly.
Moreover, the country of Sailia is not very big, and there are frequent wars.
Under such a situation, who would care what the Celia government thinks?
Seeing Roderick’s confused expression, Zhang Tianhua continued.
“Regardless of national strength, Celia, as a sovereign country, should be respected accordingly.
“I hope the lighthouse government can give the Celia government a reasonable explanation.”9
Countless people at the scene and in front of the TV were stunned.
Isn’t there a war going on now?
There are so many terrorists out there who are ready to kill!
What do you say this for?
But in front of the TV, many people in the Celia government were so moved that they were about to cry.
As a small country, it has never had much say.
Especially since the outbreak of the war, many countries just tried their best to sell their weapons and equipment, trying to harvest wool from them.
Only the Dragon Kingdom still regards itself as a sovereign country and treats it equally and friendly.
This is the truth in adversity!
The rear headquarters of the Lighthouse Country was also a little confused.
Didn’t you say you were going to shoot? Why did you talk about this again?
However… After a moment of discussion at the headquarters, a decision was quickly made.
Don’t the people of Longguo want to take over?
Just, let them go, we can just watch the fun.
After all, they took the initiative to invite Ying, and the terrorists inside also have hatred for them.
They are also excusable.
As long as they also returned home, the pressure on the Lighthouse Nation’s military would be much less.
Thinking of this, many people in the headquarters were ecstatic.
Growing up so much, I have never seen such a person who took the initiative to take the blame.
The people of the Dragon Kingdom are really great people!
As for the armed entry into the Celia government, what is that?
After receiving instructions from the rear command, Roderick also had a smile on his face.
“Ambassador Zhang, this incident happened suddenly and involves the safety of more than 200 citizens of our country.”
“Therefore, we are also negligent in a hurry.”
“After the matter is resolved, we will specifically communicate with the Celia government to compensate them.
What? The Lighthouse Country actually confessed?
At the scene and in front of the TV, countless people were stunned.
The lighthouse country, which has always been number one in labor and capital, actually said something soft?
For a while, there were many discussions in the live broadcast room.
“The Lighthouse Country has actually softened? How can you say such a thing?”
“You are stupid, the lighthouse country is following your words now, and I will put you on top of it first!”
“That is, the special forces of the lighthouse country have lost so many people now, and the victory they have achieved is about zero.
“Where does the confidence of the Dragon Kingdom come from? If the Lighthouse Kingdom can’t handle it, the Dragon Kingdom will take action to settle it?
“It seems that the D1 individual exoskeleton of Longguo is going to show its power? Looking forward to it!
“The people upstairs don’t understand the military at first glance. The current scene is simply not an environment suitable for D1 operations.””
Celia’s Office of the President.
With a moved face, President Amibaka sighed to the commander-in-chief of the government army.
“Longguo people are really good friends!”
“Although we are so weak, people still treat us as equals.””
“I can still think of us at this time and help us find a place.
The commander-in-chief of the government army was also a little emotional.
“Compared with the Dragon Country, the Lighthouse Country is really deceiving.”
“With such a large-scale military operation in our country, you don’t even say hello.
“However, the Lighthouse State has always been domineering, and it often goes back on its word.”
“What they say is nice now, can they deliver it later?”
President Amibaka shook his head and said lightly.
“Whether he can do it or not, it doesn’t matter much. 35′
“If he really gave us compensation, it would be good, and it was also fought for by our friends from the Dragon Kingdom.”
“If he goes back on his word, it will be a disgrace in front of the whole world.””
The commander-in-chief of the government army nodded and added.
“The key to the problem now is whether our friends from the Dragon Kingdom can solve this group of terrorists as soon as possible.”
“Yeah!” President Amibaka nodded, his face became more and more moved.
“Friends of the Dragon Country actually took such a big risk in order to help us solve the problem.”
“What a good friend!
In mid-air, Su Meng thought for a while, and suddenly laughed.
“Ambassador Zhang, it seems that the military of the lighthouse country can’t wait to throw this hot potato out.””
“If that’s the case, then we might as well raise another condition…
In front of the camera, Zhang Tianhua’s expression suddenly froze.
What the hell, do you want me to say this?
Why do I feel like this is trying to trick me?
It’s broadcast live all over the world!
you let me say this?
But it seems that according to the instructions of the Supreme Command, this Raptors captain is the supreme commander here?
“Ambassador Zhang, what are you going to do?
Roderick urged.
Zhang Tianhua hesitated for a moment and decided to obey Su Meng’s orders.
“There is no rush to act in advance.
“There’s another thing.””
and also?
Many people were stunned.
Zhang Tianhua said with a panicked group.
“The Lighthouse State previously fired eight Tomahawk cruise missiles at the Viper mercenary camp.55
“In the name of revenge for the Dragon Kingdom, I demanded 40 million US dollars from the Dragon Kingdom.
“Everyone must know about this, right?
Many people are stunned.
How could they not know about this?
This is what the Lighthouse State said at the press conference in front of countless reporters!
At that time, the Dragon Kingdom was roasted on the rack, and many people laughed at it.
Zhang Tianhua brought this up today, what are you going to do?
But there are also many people who suddenly came to the spirit.
This is the rhythm of getting up!
Above the sky, Su Meng said lightly.
“Lao Zhang, don’t be so nervous, show some momentum.
“The whole world is watching you slap the lighthouse country in the face, don’t be shy!”
Zhang Tianhua cursed inwardly, but said loudly.
“This time, our Dragon Country will send troops to rescue the citizens of the Lighthouse Country, and there will be a lot of wear and tear. 39
“Shouldn’t the Lighthouse State give some financial compensation?
Damn it! Are the people of the Dragon country trying to loot?
Many people were immediately stunned.
Isn’t the diplomatic image of the people of the Dragon country always kind and generous?
Why this time, instead, I feel a little bit mean to report it?
Is this a backhand slap in the face of Lighthouse Country?
On the Long Kingdom’s network, it suddenly became lively.
“Hahaha, well said! That’s how it should be done!”
“That is, we are taking a huge risk to rescue the hostages for you, isn’t it reasonable for you to pay some money?
“If the Lighthouse Nation did pay, it would be a lot of fun. 99
“Actually, I don’t think there is any need for us to participate in this matter. Isn’t it nice to see the lighthouse guy slumped?”
“The one upstairs is too simple, think about it, if the lighthouse guy didn’t get it, we got it, what does that mean?”
“And one more thing, don’t you know the shameless character of the Lighthouse Country? If they suffer a loss, they must say that this group of terrorists is not good for attacking the Dragon Country’s peacekeeping force, so they take advantage of the Lighthouse Country. passive.”
“My beacon country of XXXX, they plot against our D1, and they want to bite us back?
“This wave, it is absolutely impossible not to let the Lighthouse Country shed a little blood!
“I hope our troops can safely and smoothly resolve this incident.”
In the Office of the President of the Lighthouse Nation.
President Harden was furious.
“These people from Longguo who got into Qian’s eyes, they are taking advantage of the fire!
“If we do give money, how will the world laugh at us?”
“Let them dream!”
The staff hesitated for a while and persuaded.
“Mr. President, this rescue operation is now being broadcast live around the world.
“Our previous operations have lost nearly 100 elite SEALs. 35
“It’s already put a lot of pressure on us.”
“I guess in the wild, I will definitely seize this topic and attack us desperately.”
“Then our votes…”
At the mention of the word ballot, President Harden was stunned.
He was too familiar with these things.
From the beginning to the end, this incident has (cieg) left countless handles to Zayedang.
If it can be resolved satisfactorily in the end, it will always be able to come back.
But now that the SEALs have been hit so hard, do you still expect them to complete their mission?
The staff continued.
“Actually, letting Long Guo take action is not necessarily a bad thing. 35
“If they fail … then we put the blame on them.
“Let’s just say that this group of terrorists carried out this terrorist attack in order to retaliate against them.
“Our lighthouse country has suffered a complete disaster.”
“If they succeed…hehe, even if they succeed, those hostages will surely die again. 35
“When the time comes, we’ll put the finger on them.”
“Let the emotions of the voters lead to hostility to the Dragon Kingdom, so that our votes will be stabilized!”
It has to be said that these politicians of the Lighthouse State who came to power with their mouths and shows.
It is not very good to do national affairs, but it is a first-class expert in manipulating votes.
President Harden thought about it carefully, and his mood finally calmed down.
But still a little dissatisfied.
“You mean, we can only hand over the money like this?”
“We asked them to pay $50 million before, and the figure they put forward is definitely higher than that!”
“How do you ask me to explain to Congress and voters with such a large sum of money?
The staff had already figured it out.
With a slight smile, it was like a lying dragon and a phoenix being possessed at the same time.
“Mr. President, this money is not out of our pockets. 35
“Besides, the more money the Dragon Country wants, the easier it will be for us to incite the voters to hate the Dragon Country?”
“What’s more, the more money you spend, doesn’t it prove that you pay more attention to the people?
“This is a good point of hype when we are campaigning for votes!
Yup!
At the mention of this, President Harden’s eyes lit up.
Yes, those foolish people are the easiest to incite.
As long as the time comes, I will make a show and say something like “citizens of the lighthouse country are far more precious than US knives”.
Are those voters still unmoved?
So won’t you keep your vote?
As for something like losing the face of the Lighthouse Country… Hehe.
President Harden couldn’t have been clearer.
As long as the aircraft carrier of the lighthouse country is still there, the face of the lighthouse country will be there!
After thinking about this, President Harden finally made up his mind.
“Good! Promise them!””
Outside the CNN reporter station in Seria, the atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward.
After Zhang Tianhua stated this condition, everyone was staring at Lieutenant Colonel Roderick, the representative of the Lighthouse Country scene.
Roderick is going numb.
He’s just a Navy SEAL captain, how has he experienced such a high-profile moment?
Now that Zhang Tianhua said it, he no longer hesitated and added.
“Mr. Roderick, I think you may not have the appropriate authority for this matter.
“I suggest that you still contact your command.”
Roderick nodded subconsciously, walked aside, and began to contact the rear headquarters.
The command headquarters in the rear were also noisy.
Hemp egg!
Who has seen such a blatant robbery?
The first reaction was to refuse directly, and then scolded the people of Longguo.
But now they are eager to throw the blame, but they are caught in a tangle.
Fortunately, they did not hesitate for too long, and new instructions soon came from the President’s Office.
Seeing this order, these commanders went numb.
Mr. President has already agreed, what do you want us to do?
After receiving instructions from the rear headquarters, Roderick finally had a bottom line.
He walked over and said seriously.
“Ambassador Zhang, the President of the Beacon Nation, Mr. Harden, personally gave the instructions.
“Mr. President fully commends Long Guo for taking the initiative to fight terrorism.
“At the same time, Mr. President attaches great importance to the safety of the citizens of the Lighthouse State.”
“In his mind, the safety of the citizens of the Lighthouse State is above all else!”
“In order to ensure the safety of these hostages, the Lighthouse Country has decided to agree to Ambassador Zhang’s proposal!
what?
The Lighthouse Country actually agreed?
There was an uproar at the scene and in front of the TV.
The lighthouse country actually bowed its head to the dragon country?
And agreed to pay for the people of Longguo to take action?
You must know that the Lighthouse Kingdom asked the Dragon Kingdom for 50 million US dollars before, but it was just talking about it, and it was just disgusting for the Dragon Kingdom.
In fact, even they themselves did not expect Long Guo to pay.
Long Guo is naturally not that stupid.
But this time, the situation is completely reversed?
The Lighthouse Kingdom actually agreed to pay the Dragon Kingdom and asked the Dragon Kingdom to help save people?
shit!
Dragon Country is awesome!
Not to mention them, even Zhang Tianhua was greatly surprised.
He was originally surprised, the Raptors captain, just to disgust the lighthouse country.
Unexpectedly, the lighthouse country actually paid for it?
That’s a lot of stuff to do now.
It can be said over there that the safety of the citizens of the lighthouse country is far higher than that of the US knife.
It can also be said here… The Lighthouse Country has paid the Dragon Country a protection fee!
“Ambassador Zhang, how much is your country asking for?”
Roderick asked according to the instructions from the rear.
Zhang Tianhua was also a little confused, how did he know how much he should charge.
Even this condition was just explained by the Raptors captain.
Fortunately, he didn’t have to worry about it, Su Meng’s voice was already coming from the earphones.
“Tell him the cost this time is… $1!”
what?
1 dollar?
This figure surprised Zhang Tianhua.
He originally thought that if the Lighthouse Nation put on the appearance of being slaughtered by others, the Raptors captain would speak loudly.
Unexpectedly, it only takes… 1 US dollar?
Zhang Tianhua’s thoughts turned sharply, and he suddenly realized.
In my heart, I secretly praised, this mysterious Raptor captain is really amazing!
This US knife may seem inconspicuous, but it hits the nail on the head!
You know, if the dragon country wants too much.
Although the Lighthouse Kingdom was forced to agree, the Dragon Kingdom could also make a fortune.
But it will also leave the impression of greed and will definitely be criticized by the Western world.
Now it’s only $1… hehehe…
The symbolic meaning in the middle is far greater than the actual meaning!
This kind of symbolism is, in many cases, far more important than a billion or tens of billions of dollars!
Having figured this out, Ambassador Zhang Tianhua couldn’t help but admire the mysterious Raptors captain secretly.
With a calm expression on his face, he stretched out a finger and said lightly.
“To rescue these more than 200 citizens of the Lighthouse Country, you need to pay… 1 US dollar!”
