#406 - Chapter 406: Russian delegation visits
For a moment, silence filled the council hall.
“Dongfang Chen. That name sounds like he should be a Huaguo national, right?” Baili Ji broke the silence.
“Yes,” Yan Zhengping replied.
“Good! This is good news for us,” Baili Ji nodded.
In his opinion, an ally was always better than an enemy. Moreover, causing trouble internationally was a good thing for him.
“Councilor Yan, I want to know, what role did they play in the last battle of Ulan?” Shentu Zhenghao asked.
He felt somewhat uncomfortable, as if he was being used as a pawn.
“I think you know this better than I do. I can tell you now that without their help, you most likely wouldn't have won that battle,” Yan Zhengping replied.
He spoke with some reservation, leaving some face for each other.
Without Dongfang Chen's secret arrangements, there was a ninety-nine percent chance that Shentu Zhenghao's troops would have been completely annihilated.
That dung beetle army was the nemesis of tanks.
Shentu Zhenghao understood and said nothing more.
“Alright, now that everything is clear, let's leave it at that. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for drafting a congratulatory message, making clear Huaguo's attitude and position,” Baili Ji said.
…
Just after the meeting adjourned, the Foreign Ministry of Oros called to inquire whether Huaguo knew the true details of the Ulan Neutral Zone.
Of course, the Foreign Ministry knew nothing about it. If they said too much, other countries would think Huaguo was plotting something.
Soon, they submitted a diplomatic note to Dongfang Chen, hoping to conduct a state visit to the Central Asian Ulan Neutral Zone.
The visit was a pretense; the real purpose was to investigate the situation.
There was no other way. Ulan shared a long border with Oros, and the area where the two countries bordered was a sparsely populated region in western Oros. They couldn't allow others to sleep soundly beside their bed.
At the same time, they also knew that no one would dare to establish a neutral zone without some skills or strong backing.
What does neutrality mean?
It means you fight your battles, and I'll just watch without getting involved.
Anyone who dares to say such a thing is very strong or has very strong support.
Therefore, Oros definitely needed to investigate the situation before making a statement.
Since Dongfang Chen had chosen to reveal himself, he couldn't shrink back. He decisively agreed to the meeting.
December 22, 2055 AD.
The Oros delegation arrived in Bato City.
They were greeted by robots.
As soon as they got off the plane, they were shocked by the scene before them.
Countless robots were neatly arranged, leaving a ten-meter-wide passage in the middle.
Several levitating cars were parked in the middle of the passage.
That's right, they were floating in the air.
The group got into the cars in shock.
The cars started, the altitude began to climb, and they accelerated.
The strong sense of pushing them back made them think they were on a plane.
In a few minutes, the cars arrived at the entrance of the base.
The iron gate on the ground slowly opened, the cars entered, and parked.
After getting out of the cars, the group got on the base's commuter cars and drove inside.
The commuter cars were moving very slowly, the purpose of which was to give them some time to sightsee.
After passing through several passages, they finally arrived at the reception room.
Dongfang Chen was waiting here.
The two countries spoke different languages, but Dongfang Chen had his own real-time translation robots.
“Mr. Dongfang, are you the only one here?” a diplomat asked.
“Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't see anyone,” Dongfang Chen replied with a smile.
The other party wanted to explore the details here through concern.
However, Dongfang Chen's answer threw the question back. What he meant was that if everyone was at peace, then it didn't matter whether there was anyone here or not.
Of course, the deeper meaning was that if abnormal situations occurred, then everything would be hard to say.
The diplomat understood roughly, smiled awkwardly, and nodded.
“Mr. Dongfang, are you a Huaguo national?” another diplomat asked.
This question contained a question of his position.
“That's right, that's why you can see a neutral zone, not a country,” Dongfang Chen replied.
“I wonder what the meaning of Mr. Dongfang setting up a neutral zone here is?”
This was the main purpose of Dongfang Chen agreeing to meet with the Oros Foreign Ministry personnel.
“As the name implies, given the current complex international situation and the ecological crisis that may break out in the future, I think it is necessary to unite the power of all mankind to jointly deal with this crisis,” Dongfang Chen replied.
“But I don't understand, how should we unite? And why should we unite through the neutral zone you set up?”
“Because so far, I don't have any internal troubles here. And I think you have also seen that I have what you need here.” The question was sharp, and Dongfang Chen's answer was equally merciless.
All the diplomats were choked and speechless.
Now, no country in the world dares to say that there are no internal troubles.
As for whether there is anything they need here, the answer is yes. But for them, it has not reached the point where they must get it.
They just thought that this base was very comfortable, and it would be great if it could be built in their country as well.
As for the robots they saw as soon as they got off the plane, they just thought they were amazing, and there were no other ideas.
