#286 - Chapter 286 Go to the Chamber of Commerce for Consultation

“What are you two doing? This is the council, how dare you openly insult the Speaker?” He Jinghui of the Security Department stood up and reprimanded them.

“That’s right, according to the Council Act, openly insulting the Speaker in the council should result in suspension and reflection!” Liu Feiying of the Military and Political Department also stated.

“Suspend me then, damn it, good riddance!” Suo Tonghua was not afraid at all.

“You, surnamed Liu, stop trying to scare me here! I’m telling you, you’re no good either!” Zongzhen Yue shouted.

At this moment, the council had truly transformed into a street market. These were all the most powerful figures in Hua Country, and at this moment, they didn't care about their image at all.

Bai Liji just sat there, wondering what to think.

He didn't stop the crowd's quarrel.

“Fellow councilors, please stop arguing and listen to me for a moment.” Pang Lejia of the Legal Department stood up and said.

“Speak.” Zongzhen Yue said.

“From a legal perspective, I don’t think the Speaker’s proposal is unreasonable. Since Huatong Chamber of Commerce is open for business, I don’t think it’s excessive to provide users with necessary product demonstrations. Moreover, the price of 10,000 robots is estimated to be at least tens of millions of crystal cores. We can’t just purchase them without doing research, right? Isn’t the taxpayer’s money still money?” Pang Lejia of the Legal Department said.

Although at present, these taxpayers are only Huatong Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Union, what he said sounded reasonable.

“Councilor Pang is right. I also think this is a very reasonable request, why are you two so agitated?” Chen Guanxuan of the Finance Department also stood up to express his opinion.

“Old Yan, you speak!” Zongzhen Yue couldn’t argue with them, and looked at Yan Zhengping and said.

“It’s useless for us to talk here, we still have to see the attitude of Huatong Chamber of Commerce. As everyone knows, Huatong Chamber of Commerce has never done business with the military. Today I can finally understand why they do this.” Yan Zhengping said with a smile.

Bai Liji frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Everyone stopped talking and sat down one after another.

“A private force that can receive the attention of the entire council, I think this just shows that they are really remarkable. Regarding the military product presentation, I will personally go to the Chamber of Commerce to negotiate and try my best to make it happen. But I hope everyone can understand that in such a crisis-ridden end of the world, the power of unity is greater than confrontation. Whether it’s official forces or private forces, as long as it’s beneficial to Hua Country, it should be supported and promoted. I hope everyone can abandon their prejudices and unite against the outside world.”

Yan Zhengping calmly said some of his thoughts, and everyone remained silent.

“Then let’s do that. First, Councilor Yan will go to Huatong Chamber of Commerce to negotiate, and after there are results, we will discuss the next step of action.”

“Councilor Jiang, after the meeting, you should immediately draft a diplomatic note, try to negotiate with Ulan Country, and condemn their invasion. If you can contact them, demand that they immediately hand over all the perpetrators and escort the captured Hua Country hostages back home. If the Ulan Country Council cannot be contacted, then forget it. Once we are ready, we will take military action directly.” Bai Liji arranged.

Councilor Jiang, Jiang Jun, Director of the Foreign Affairs Department, member of the council.

“Okay.” Councilor Jiang replied.

“Meeting adjourned!” Bai Liji said.

… …

The meeting ended at six o’clock in the afternoon.

After leaving the Council Building, Yan Zhengping went straight to the headquarters of Huatong Chamber of Commerce in Binjiang.

He was ostensibly going to Huatong Chamber of Commerce, but in reality, he was going to meet Dongfang Chen.

As the sun was setting, Yan Zhengping arrived in Binjiang.

“Commander Yan, what brings you here in such a hurry?” Dongfang Chen asked in the underground main base.

“Xiao Chen, I won’t beat around the bush. This morning, the northern border of Hua Country was invaded. People from Ulan Country attacked a small resettlement in the northern part of Inner Mongolia Province: Bayansumu Resettlement, massacring and capturing hundreds of thousands of residents.” Yan Zhengping briefly introduced the situation.

“Ulan Country? That’s unlikely, right?” Dongfang Chen also didn’t think that a small Ulan Country would have such courage.

“It’s indeed unlikely that it’s just Ulan Country alone. Our analysis is that there may be secret instigation and support from other countries or forces behind this.” Yan Zhengping said.

“Then you came here today…?” Dongfang Chen still didn’t understand the purpose of him discussing this matter.

“I’ll show you a video first.” As he spoke, Yan Zhengping handed over a storage device similar to a USB drive.

Dongfang Chen took the device and plugged it into the computer.

He didn’t need to worry about whether the USB drive would be implanted with viruses or Trojans, because Xiaolin would help him solve these problems.

“Commander, multiple Trojan viruses have been detected in the storage device and have been placed in the quarantine area.” Xiaolin sent the message to Dongfang Chen’s digital eyes.

Because Yan Zhengping was beside him, Xiaolin wouldn’t directly show up.

“Play the video.” Dongfang Chen replied.

“Okay, Commander.” Xiaolin replied.

Subsequently, the large screen in Dongfang Chen’s office lit up, and the video began to play.

“Huh?” After seeing the scene of the pikas making way for the invaders, Dongfang Chen also showed a look of doubt.

“I came to you today because of this matter.” Yan Zhengping knew that Dongfang Chen had already noticed this detail, and said.
