Chapter 856 I thought you had been a powerful country for many years
Chao Xiang Xiuling was startled by this face. After seeing who it was, she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. "Brother Kong, your sudden appearance is quite scary."
"Can anyone be scarier than you?" Fatty Kong pointed inside. "We were just discussing something, so how come you came out after just ten minutes?"
"Everything has been explained clearly. If you don't come out, do I have to look at that old bark face again? Don't you feel sick?"
Old bark?
This refers to Robert. Fatty Kong recalled Robert's face and nodded; "Indeed, this guy is indeed a bit old, but sister, you just came out like this, don't you want to discuss it?"
"We're here to inform you, not to discuss things. If you want us to do something, you have to follow our rules." Chaoxiang Xiuling took out another piece of candy and held it forward. "Want to eat?"
"I don't want it." Fatty Kong frowned and sighed. "You...what did you change?"
"We made some changes to the navy. We asked them for a battlecruiser, two supply ships, and two frigates."
amount……
Fatty Kong was so frightened that the flesh on his face twitched. After a while, he tentatively asked, "Is this... possible?"
"They need it." Chaoxiang Xiuling moved closer to touch the fat man; "I'm hungry."
"Come on, come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious." Fatty Kong called Chao Xiang Xiuling to go out.
Robert looked across at the empty mountain city personnel, then turned his head to glance at Ruth beside him; "We are really here to negotiate, not to be judged."
Ruth smiled bitterly. "In fact, we knew the day we arrived that this trip would not be smooth."
"It's just a notification, not a discussion." Robert looked at the documents on the table for a while and then stood up. "Let's go back first."
Back at their place, Robert handed the document to Ruth. "I was planning to show it to you on the way, but the time wasn't right. Take a look at it. Is this something you can agree to?"
Ruth had already seen the original text, but she knew this document was definitely not the original. So she opened it and read through it, then said, "Common sense suggests we can't agree to this. However, given the current situation, we don't seem to have any reason to refuse. The domestic situation is already tense. Berlin's troops have advanced to the border and deployed four Wehrmacht divisions there. Furthermore, according to reconnaissance, Berlin has already dispatched a second fleet, consisting of nearly 120,000 infantrymen and a large number of armored vehicles."
Robert silently took out a cigarette and lit it. "When we made such an obvious move back then, the relationship between us and Shancheng had already been torn apart from that moment on. Now, because of the domestic situation, it's not easy to mend things."
"I say the same thing again," Ruth said after putting the document down. "This isn't our fault. We just need to bring this document back to the Secretary of State intact. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with us. All we need to do is wait for a result."
Robert pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then you'll have to take the trouble to bring the documents back to the non-concierge."
In Kowloon, the Wen Ya Perfume Factory has already started production. After visiting the high-end production line, Xiao Ya took some mid-range and high-end perfumes and brought them back to the Third Fleet Command.
She generously gave the perfume away, then brought it to Hasegawa Kiyoshi's office and handed it to him. "It's perfect for your wife. I promise it will be exactly the same as the high-end perfumes in Paris."
Hasegawa Kiyoshi looked at the item on the table, opened it, smelled it, and nodded. "Even though I don't know much about perfume, I know this must be good stuff. Hasegawa has mass-produced it? If so, can we sell it?"
"It can be sold at any time." Xiao Ya returned to the sofa next to her. Gao Qiaoyi immediately made tea for her and stood beside Du Xiaoyue, loyally acting as a guard.
Chang Guqing raised the corner of his mouth slightly and glanced at Xiao Ya before saying, "You can ask the factory to develop a perfume that can cover up the smell of sweat."
As soon as Xiao Ya heard it, she knew that this was for men. If it was a woman, then the smell of sweat would be a very serious matter. Even in the military, women would wipe their bodies as long as they had the conditions. Moreover, there were no combat soldiers in the military. Women were generally service soldiers and did clerical work.
"For the navy?" Xiao Ya asked, putting down the teacup.
"Well, the soldiers on the ship have been asking me for ways to avoid this problem. After all, fresh water resources can't be wasted here, so there are regulations for bathing and other things. Generally, you can only use perfume to cover it up, but you know, if the smell is too strong, then this..."
"I understand." Xiao Ya turned her head and looked at Du Xiaoyue. "Go find Smith and tell him about this. We need to develop it as soon as possible. After all, we need to seize the initiative with this thing."
Chang Guqing waited for Du Xiaoyue to leave, then took out a telegram. "Did the negotiations between you and Watsonton break down?"
Xiao Ya went out yesterday, and she didn't know the specific situation. Now, after hearing what Chang Guqing said, she looked up and asked, "You got some news, right?"
"From entering the room to finishing, it took no more than twenty minutes, and that includes the time Xiuling took to bring people out first."
"Oh." Xiao Ya said calmly, and then her ninth sister spoke. Her calmness made Chang Guqing curious and asked, "You don't seem worried at all. If the talks fall through, it will be a huge loss for Shancheng."
"Logically speaking, you should understand the current situation better than I do, and you also know Xiuling better than I do. You think if she takes action, the negotiations will collapse."
"Of course I understand the situation, but you guys finished it in less than ten minutes. If this isn't a breakdown of the talks, then what is it?"
Xiao Ya smiled and said, "Why can't you understand that this is actually the final notice our mountain city gave them?"
Final notice?
Hase Kiyoshi took a deep breath and said, "I've never heard of anyone giving a final notice right from the start. Shouldn't they have been frankly discussing things and then come to a mutually acceptable agreement? How could you just give an ultimatum like this?"
Having said that, he picked up the teacup next to him. It contained green tea, which Xiao Ya brought for him when she came over. It tasted very good.
Taking a sip of the sweet tea, Chang Gu Qing chuckled, "If I didn't know what your mountain city is like, I would have almost believed that your mountain city has been a great power for many years."
