#879 - Chapter 879: Seeking favors? Retired equipment in exchange for gold mines! China, no peace ta
Less than ten minutes.
A group of people quickly walked into the conference room.
The leader was none other than the President of the Philippines.
Seeing Chen Hao present, he was slightly stunned at first, then excitedly ran up, proactively extending both hands: "Mr. Chen, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here, haha... It's truly an honor!"
The attendant hurriedly translated.
The city leaders were completely dumbfounded.
The head of a country!
Meeting Chen Hao and acting so obsequiously?
Of course, the Philippine President's flattery was to achieve certain goals.
Why come in person?
There were two reasons.
First, to show that he attached great importance to this matter, letting China see the Philippines' sincerity.
The United Nations General Assembly established a war organization targeting alien civilizations; all countries must unconditionally cooperate in military actions against alien civilizations.
Look!
I immediately captured and sent the person from the alien civilization to China as soon as I discovered them.
Isn't that sincere enough?
Isn't that abiding by the organization's rules enough?
Moreover, our Philippines initially chose China's side—although we were forced into it.
As for the second purpose...
"Thank you, Mr. Royo."
Chen Hao smiled: "I express my utmost gratitude for your country's support of the Special Operations Department!"
Special Operations Department.
An organization targeting alien civilizations.
Its full name is the Special Warfare General Command.
Supreme Commander—Chen Hao!
In the confrontation with alien civilizations, the Special Operations Department can mobilize global armies, as well as funds, resources, manpower, and materials.
This power...
Unprecedented!
The city government leaders were dumbfounded.
Commander?
Head of the Special Operations Department?
"Mr. Chen, I have a small request," Philippine President Royo said with a smile.
The second purpose was coming.
I am very cooperative, right?
Not only did I personally escort the prisoner, but I was also the first to send them over.
Isn't it reasonable to ask for some benefits?
If you want the horse to run, you have to give it some grass.
"Mr. Royo, please speak."
He had previously talked with General Wang about the disposal of retired equipment.
Most countries are declining and no longer have the money to purchase large equipment.
However...
Buying equipment doesn't necessarily require money!
"Ah?!"
Royo didn't come back to his senses.
His goal was civilian products, such as high-tech product distribution rights, or even establishing assembly plants in the Philippines.
Military equipment?
The Philippines initially sided with China and bought some equipment, but it wasn't urgent now.
The current core was to develop the economy.
Making money!
The domestic economy was getting worse and worse; it was unbearable!
"Mr. Chen, I was thinking..." He quickly explained.
"Shenzhou Motors doesn't currently have any branch factories in Southeast Asia," Chen Hao smiled.
"Yes!"
Royo was overjoyed, nodding repeatedly: "That's good! Mr. Chen, we are willing..."
Chen Hao almost laughed out loud.
What's the use of you being willing?
I have to be willing!
"Have you thought about a problem?"
"What?"
"There are so many countries in the Indochina Peninsula. If I let your country establish a branch factory, wouldn't that attract covetous eyes?"
"This..."
"Look!"
Chen Hao smiled and said: "I have several Type 055 destroyers here, as well as J-20s and J-30s—don't worry! After all, they are second-hand, so they will definitely be much lower than the market price. Actually, they have only been in service for a short time and are almost as good as new."
Royo immediately understood.
The branch factory that the other party was offering was directly tied to arms exports; no arms purchases, no branch factory.
"Mr. Chen, we... really don't have the money to buy them!"
Royo said with a mournful face: "How about this! After our factory is built, and we start making money..."
Wait until we make money before importing equipment.
How can we buy it if we don't have money?
"It's okay."
Chen Hao had just finished saying it was okay, and Royo had just breathed a sigh of relief when he almost collapsed: "The Philippines has the third largest gold reserves in the world; I can also accept exchanging gold mine mining rights for equipment."
Damn!
Royo almost cursed out loud.
I've had all my money squeezed dry; now you're going to squeeze my gold mines?
But...
He didn't dare to curse!
With the Philippines' limited strength, the consequences of angering Chen Hao... would be national subjugation in two hours!
In the end.
Chen Hao hadn't even gone to see the prisoner yet, but first signed a contract with Royo: five Type 055 cruisers, 10 J-20s with Dark Sword drones, and other advanced retired equipment, and the Philippines wouldn't have to pay a single cent.
All gold mine mining rights for 20 years!
After spending two hours drafting the contract, the two parties signed it and parted ways.
"Commander, you are..."
General Wang wanted to say something.
Finding that the Commander was staring at him, he finally didn't dare to continue, and gave a sheepish smile, raising his thumb.
He thought that the retired equipment couldn't be sold, but someone came to his door.
Exchanging the country's gold mines for retired equipment.
A capital—Admire!
After a few words of small talk, the prisoner was brought in.
That person from the alien civilization shouted loudly in Filipino: "I am an envoy! I am here to negotiate!"
Fortunately, Chen Hao understood.
"Negotiate?" He had a strange expression.
"Yes!"
The man was afraid of not having a chance to speak: "We admit that it was wrong to launch an attack at the beginning, but there were extenuating circumstances..."
"Commander, what is he saying?" General Wang asked busily.
"He said that he's here to negotiate, and that there were extenuating circumstances for releasing the virus back then," Chen Hao said with a smile.
"Negotiate my ass!"
General Wang was furious.
Hearing this kind of double standard, he thought of the former North America, and even the entire Western world.
When you are strong, you can act wantonly, releasing viruses that kill hundreds of millions of people.
Now that you can't win, you want to negotiate?
Negotiate my foot!
"No negotiation?" Chen Hao asked General Wang.
"These grandsons are very bad; there's nothing to talk about with them..."
Bang!
General Wang hadn't finished speaking.
A gunshot rang out.
The so-called envoy's forehead was instantly pierced by a bullet, and light blue blood spurted out.
He fell to the ground with a thud.
The city leaders who hadn't left were scared out of their minds.
They only felt their legs go weak, and their bladders tightened, as if they would pee at any moment.
Who would have thought that he would suddenly shoot?
"Commander, why did you..." General Wang murmured.
"Didn't you say no negotiation?"
"I was just saying that out of anger!"
General Wang smiled wryly: "At least there was no need to kill him directly; perhaps we could have interrogated him for valuable information. Killing him directly like this..."
"I don't want to negotiate," Chen Hao interrupted him.
"..."
General Wang was stunned.
The next moment.
He nodded vigorously, his eyes sharp: "That's right! No negotiation!"
From an objective standpoint, he felt that he could have interrogated him, perhaps to get some intelligence or something.
But!
It must be said that the Commander's move was very satisfying!
At the beginning, the alien civilization declared war without warning, and even used the most vicious and despicable method of poisoning, causing hundreds of millions of innocent people to die unjustly—from that moment on, there was no room for reconciliation!
Realizing that they couldn't win.
Realizing that they were in a desperate situation.
Now they want to negotiate?
Too late!
If you want to exterminate my entire race, then be prepared for the same fate!
"Let's go."
Chen Hao patted General Wang on the shoulder and instructed the National Security and Dragon Flame elites: "Dispose of the body... Why haven't you guys left yet? Do you want me to treat you to dinner?"
Strikingly!
Several city leaders were still there.
Being stared at and questioned like this, several people were so frightened that their legs went weak.
