Chapter 75 - Private Meeting!
Chapter 75: Private Meeting!
“Motherf*cker, the rate they’re building that thing… is even faster than the Chinese construction workers!”
“Amazing, monsters will always be monsters, no country can compete with this pace!”
“As expected of the Thunder God, he never fails to deliver!”
“I wonder what the Chinese would think when they see this. Just thinking about it intrigues me!”
“Oh my! This speed is not bad. In the past, when we built the Shinkansen, it was about the same!”
“F*ck you, your f*cking Japan is this quick? What are you bragging about!”
“As expected, with robots in hand, I would have the world! The Thunder God is almost heaven-defying!”
“Actually, I have a bad feeling about this. If we keep using steel structures, it won’t last very long!”
“Why are you even talking about longevity? How long do you think we need to stay on Earth with the Thunder God lighting a path for us into outer space?”
“Dame da ne! If this goes on, Thunder God will soon discover the truth!”
“Oh f*ck! Is the live broadcast room in danger of being shut down again?”
The faster the robots went, the less time there was for those who shook hands and exchanged empty pleasantries.
At that moment, the video conference started once again.
However, this time, the topic of their discussion had changed a little.
It was still about Raymond.
“Regarding the materials that Raymond needs, I think that each of us will contribute our parts. Of course, I know that when your materials arrive, there won’t be enough time, so you can buy them from us. Of course, the price can be discussed.”
The meeting didn’t last long, and they got to the main topic.
To be honest, the things that Raymond needed were not too big of a problem for countries.
Each country had more than enough ores.
As for gold, they could squeeze it out.
The most important thing was uranium!
It was something that was needed for nuclear reactions.
Raymond would struggle to extract a ton of it.
The leaders of the few countries did not plan to mull over it.
As long as he did not come out now, there would be plenty of ways in the future.
Moreover, Gayle Gadot was there. She could distract Raymond for a time.
She could even throw him off-topic with new inspirations, even after the battleship is completed.
“Mr. President, regarding this matter, our country will definitely follow the footsteps of the United States.”
The Prime Minister of Japan, Yasukuni, immediately decided on this.
“Regarding the matter of the materials, we can contribute the money and manpower. The key is Raymond’s technology. Are we going to divide it among a few countries?”
The moment the Russian emperor opened his mouth, he directly went to the key point.
“If other countries are to come in, this matter can not be rushed. In any case, your United States has enough resources. Supplying Raymond is not a problem at all, right?”
Chekov rose and stood in their way.
How could he not understand the USA’s proposal?
If the United States secretly took action at that moment and sent the things that Raymond needed, the other countries would definitely not agree.
How much spy equipment would you sneak in?
Would you get the technology in advance, would you privately discuss with Raymond…
These were all questions.
Fortunately, the USA was acting openly.
They had called for a meeting.
However, when a meeting was called, there were other points of disagreement.
What if we gave something and then other countries wanted to come in and get a share?
For example, China was not present at the moment.
It was another developing country.
But its military strength was not to be underestimated.
If the Chinese stepped in, then what would happen if we gave them something?
The USA could not determine the price.
They were just selling tickets, in a way.
But what gives you the right to claim this fare as yours, the United States?
Could you charge however you wanted?
So, the fierce Russian Emperor Chekhov shot down the USA’s momentum.
The President remained silent.
Naturally, someone had to speak up.
The Queen of England, Marina, pressed the switch.
“Regarding this, Mr. President, what is your price?”
Setting the price now would set the tone for all future discussions.
If the price was too high, the people present would probably think of ways to get it themselves instead of buying it from the United States at a high price.
Although it would be risky to take it directly, when was dealing with the United States never risky?
Would the United States come clean?
What kind of joke was this.
What manner of despicable backstabbing could countries not pull off?
They would stop at no means to dominate the market and dominate the military position.
Even the seemingly gentle and refined Chinese could do some shady things.
Let alone the United States.
“Right! What’s the price?”
The representative of the top ten consortiums, Sirius, also raised the same question.
More money, less money. Those were two different concepts.
In fact, the show had reached such a stage that it was no longer under the control of the top ten consortiums.
They were rich!
They were indeed rich.
The sum of money was several times more than the US Treasury.
But!
The US had advanced weapons and strong military strength.
When the US didn’t stand out, the top ten consortiums could do whatever they wanted.
But now..,
They could only follow behind and bide their time.
But it was rather apparent that the US was no longer lumbering by idly.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have locked up several important officials.
The United States Congress stood on the strength of the United States this time.
They temporarily put aside all economic issues.
“The price isn’t high either. 500 billion USD!”
The President threw out a sentence and didn’t say anything else.
“500 billion USD? Are you kidding? Mr. President, is this your personal price tag?”
Chekov rolled his eyes.
Chekov could not care about his reputation in such a private meeting. After all, they were never broadcasted.
Moreover, he was already stained on the Internet. He had once caused controversy by using a less-than-formal term to refer to ‘refugees’.
“Mr. President, to be honest, the price is indeed a little high.”
Even Japan, which had always stood on the side of the United States, felt a little troubled when they heard the price.
Was Japan’s economic strength strong?
Really strong!
However, this was real money!
The United States could renege on its debts to other countries.
However, could other countries renege on their debts to the United States?
Dream on!
Believe it or not, the United States stick a rocket cannon up your bum in the next second.
If you don’t pay, your life will be taken.
Military strength was a simple language.
At that moment, Sirius remained silent.
The ten consortia had to give him the money.
They could form an alliance and look for mercenaries together.
However, how could a mercenary’s military strength be compared to a country’s?
The only thing they could do was to rely on a strong country and slowly roll with the wheel of history.
Otherwise, they would be crushed by the vehicles of history, leaving nothing behind.
However, Sirius was going to withhold his thoughts for just a little longer.
