Chapter 2141: The New Airport Plan of the Dragon Kingdom
A certain floor of a building in Baiyun Residential Area
It's especially lively here today.
People kept coming up with all sorts of delicious food.
Inside one of the suites on this floor.
A large number of people gathered there.
This suite has no bed and no furniture.
Unnecessary walls were also demolished.
Several tables were set up.
This is a temporary activity room specially allocated by the local authorities for this group of people with special status.
They can have group meals and other activities here.
It's mainly for children.
They often gather here for meals, sharing their experiences from the past few days.
But the atmosphere today is noticeably different.
"Look what I bought."
This is a roast duck from Quanjude.
"I heard there was a dinner party tonight, and I waited in line for half an hour to get a table!" A man walked in carrying three roast ducks.
But after he walked in, he saw a familiar face.
Pedro's expression changed slightly when he saw the man who was not yet twenty years old.
The man turned to leave.
But Hilary pulled him back from the side.
“Since we’re already here, we should at least meet him, shouldn’t we?” Hilary said.
The man clearly respected Hilary.
Upon arriving in this unfamiliar environment, many of them initially found it difficult to adapt.
Hilary was the first to familiarize herself with life and rules here. She also helped others with their psychological issues and helped them plan their identities.
She would also take care of the other children's lives.
It's fair to say that without Hilary's presence, they wouldn't have adapted to life here so quickly and thrived so well.
“George...” Executive Officer Pedro looked at the young man in front of him who bore a resemblance to himself.
"Should I now address you as Your Majesty the King?"
"Should I bow to you?" George looked at the man before him, a hint of anger in his eyes.
“I’m sorry.” Executive Officer Pedro looked at George with a hint of helplessness.
You don't need to apologize to me.
After all, this is your act of sacrificing family for the greater good.
Yes, I am a descendant of royalty.
But didn't you ever think that you're my uncle?
You were the one who personally escorted my mother to the palace.
Now she's sending her child here.
Uncle, you really are a good uncle.
George stared at Pedro with a complicated expression.
Hilary, standing nearby, watched the two of them but didn't say anything; it was their family matter.
They have to come out on their own.
"Alright, almost everyone's here."
Let's not wait for the others who haven't arrived yet; let's eat first.
"It won't taste good when it gets cold." Hilary clapped her hands, signaling everyone to start eating.
The children immediately rushed toward the McMurray treats placed on the table.
"I'm reminding you."
You cannot eat too much of the food of the Maimon.
"You must eat the other food too!" Hilary said, pointing to the children.
He glanced discreetly at Pedro and George, whose atmosphere seemed somewhat awkward.
Pedro and George are uncle and nephew.
Pedro's sister was the old king's wife, but due to poor health and some psychological issues, she passed away shortly after giving birth to George.
Later, Pedro overthrew the old system of the Baljik Kingdom.
According to the pledge of allegiance he had given to the Kingdom of Wraith Dragons, all royal offspring would be sent to the Kingdom of Wraith Dragons.
This included his nephew, George.
To George at the time, this behavior was undoubtedly a form of abandonment.
That's why George is so resistant to Pedro.
You are much stronger than before.
And she's become much more sensible.
He even brings delicious treats for his younger siblings now. Pedro looked at George and found him much more pleasing to the eye than the somewhat stubborn prince he once was.
George didn't say anything.
"Have you found a job here yet?"
Do you need...?
"Need not.
You are now the high-ranking executive officer of the Kingdom of Baljik.
But I am just an ordinary person.
"I'm just an apprentice now," George scoffed.
"An apprentice?" Pedro asked, somewhat surprised.
"George is currently studying mechanics and is also working as an apprentice at an auto repair shop."
However, his superiors saw that he had great talent in this area and arranged for him to attend night school to study tank mechanics.
The exam is in two weeks.
If the exam goes well, then George can directly enter the relevant technical college in the Dragon Kingdom to study related industrial technology.
Before that, there will be a decent subsidy.
After graduation, the Kingdom of Dragons will also assign jobs.
You could even get citizenship in the Kingdom of the Wyvern directly!
The little girl who had gone to buy McMuffin with Pedro earlier was standing next to him, munching on a spicy chicken wing as she spoke.
“Eating won’t shut you up.” George pinched the little girl’s cheek.
After hearing this, Pedro looked at George with some surprise.
He hadn't expected that George would grow so much in just a few months.
Tank-related technology research?
This is a truly remarkable subject, and it involves the most advanced technologies of the Dragonflight Kingdom.
George.
My decision to send you here was very unreasonable.
However, this was a decision I had no other choice to make.
Although I controlled the Baljik Kingdom at that time, there were still many people rebelling within it.
In the month or so since you left, I and those around me have been the target of no fewer than ten assassination attempts.
The most recent time, the bullet even hit me just ten centimeters away.
If we take you back to the family, your identity will inevitably make you a target for assassination.
The Kingdom of the Wraiths, far from the western continent, is the safest place for you.
I hope you can grow up happily here.
Of course, the situation in the Kingdom of Baljik has now stabilized.
If you want to go back.
I will plead with King Wyvern; I am willing to pay any price for your freedom!
As Pedro said these words.
George felt a pang of emotion.
To be honest, how much did he really hate his uncle?
But there's not much of it actually.
It was more of a youthful resentment and unwillingness to accept defeat.
Especially the feeling of being abandoned at the very beginning.
But now, here.
He experienced an unprecedented sense of life and happiness, as well as a feeling of satisfaction after each day's work and study.
He really enjoys life here.
So much so that he is now even somewhat grateful to Pedro for bringing him here.
If he hadn't come here, he might still be that prince who was indulging in pleasures and wasting his days.
"Alright, now that I'm here..."
I had no intention of leaving.
Although I said I wouldn't completely forgive you.
But you are still my uncle.
If you ever find yourself unable to survive in the Western Continent, come find me.
At least here, I can still take care of you.
After saying that, George turned his head shyly to look out the window.
Hearing his nephew's words.
Pedro was very excited; he knew this was a way for boys to express their feelings.
The other person has actually accepted you, they just haven't said it out loud.
That's enough.
Next, during the meal...
Pedro was completely unpretentious and chatted with the child quite well.
I also learned about their current lives during our conversation.
Those who do not bring sixteen-year-old children will be assigned to primary or secondary schools to learn knowledge.
Those who are sixteen years of age or older will be given several suitable job options based on their individual circumstances.
Most of them work as teachers in schools and service staff in some government service halls.
Even if these people don't have any technical skills, they can at least read and write, and they are more capable of accepting new things.
Therefore, these jobs are relatively easy for them to adapt to.
After a short period of adjustment, we will arrange suitable promotion paths for them based on their actual circumstances.
If a talent is discovered in a certain area, let them pursue further studies in that area.
For example, George discovered his talent in mechanics and arranged for them to pursue advanced studies in that area.
Hilary now works for a local government agency.
Because everyone can see that she has strong organizational and line drawing skills.
They are well-suited for this kind of work.
In the first few months, local authorities will take care of their basic living needs.
However, apart from children under the age of sixteen, everyone else needs to earn their living necessities through their work and wages.
But by now, everyone's lives have basically stabilized.
Of course, it's difficult to live a luxurious and indulgent life.
For example, there are brands like McMurray, milk tea brands, and various advanced electronic products.
These are not things they can enjoy at will.
It's fine to buy it occasionally, or to save up money to buy it.
Now almost everyone owns a bicycle.
Therefore, there is still hope in everyone's lives.
We are making progress step by step.
After finishing the meal.
The children volunteered to take on the task of cleaning up.
Wash the dishes and utensils, and then collect all the trash.
Some of the others stayed here, while others went to night school.
Since most people work during the day, they only have time at night to study and improve their skills.
Watching these children go about their lives in an orderly fashion.
Pedro's worries before his arrival were completely relieved at this moment.
They are no longer children; they have their own lives now.
They are now able to live their lives well in this unfamiliar place.
They even harbored an expectation for the future.
"How many days are you planning to stay here?" Hilary asked Pedro.
Pedro smiled and said, "I'm leaving here tomorrow."
I don't have much time.
There are less than five days left.
My schedule is very tight from now on. I will first tour the cities in various parts of the Dragonflight Kingdom.
There are many things we need to learn from the cities of the Dragon Kingdom.
Their system, every aspect of them.
These are far beyond our previous systems and urban planning.
There are still many things waiting for me to handle in the Kingdom of Baljik.
"So I can only stay here for five days," Pedro said.
Hilary nodded.
"I brought some things with me, but I didn't take them out while we were eating."
It would be better if you handed it over to them.
"These are all things their family asked me to bring." Pedro had his subordinates bring out several boxes.
The box was filled with various things they had brought, including letters, clothes, and some food prepared by their family.
Upon seeing these things, Hilary bowed deeply to Pedro.
"thank you.
The children will be so happy to see these things.
Pedro shook his head with a self-deprecating smile: "Speaking of which, I was the one who brought them here."
They were separated from their parents.
What I can do now is just a small way to make amends.
It's nothing at all.
"Some things are actually beyond our control."
I can tell that Uncle Pedro, your choice at that time was also out of necessity.
Even if you hadn't done that, given the situation in the Baljik Kingdom at that time...
Others will do the same.
And with you driving the gears of this era, the outcome is undoubtedly the best.
"Thank you. Is this how you guide and comfort others in your current job?"
It works quite well.
After hearing what you said, I feel much better.
"Hahaha."
The two chatted for a while.
Pedro then took his leave.
Hilary looked at the boxes that had been left behind.
She estimated that the contents of these boxes would probably keep many people up at night.
I wonder how many people's pillows will get wet.
Fortunately, I have the day off tomorrow, so I can properly comfort these kids.
After leaving, Pedro toured the continent of the Dragon Kingdom for five days.
Then they boarded the ship and left.
Before leaving, he specially bought a lot of McMurray vouchers and had them given to the children.
At the same time, he also approached the King of the Wraiths.
Several requests were made.
Could we allow those underage children to take some time to visit their families in Anemone Town?
Or allow them to come to the Dragon Kingdom.
Regarding this point...
Zhao Chen's answer was...
There are two options.
One option is that their relatives in Anemone Town can issue them passes, allowing them to stay on the continent of the Dragon King Kingdom for a period of time.
Secondly, during winter and summer vacations, the children can spend their winter and summer vacations in Haikui Town.
Pedro was satisfied with both proposals and expressed his gratitude.
They also stated that these expenses would be borne by their Pedro family.
Zhao Chen watched Pedro's figure disappear into the distance as he boarded the boat.
He looked toward an airport under construction on a flat area in the distance.
That's not a military airport, it's a civilian airport.
Considering that the Dragon Kingdom needs to maintain contact with several continents, relying on ships for all of them would be too troublesome.
Secretary Barbara then planned to build an airport and establish JF-17 Airlines.
Then we can arrange dedicated passenger planes to transport passengers back and forth on several fixed routes.
The airport can be completed in six months at most, and then the first passengers will be born!
