Chapter 486 Return to Blue Star
Blue Star, Zen Country, Mandela City!
On Huifeng Avenue, a man and a woman were walking on the street. Both of them wore masks and large sunglasses, hiding their true faces.
"How about this one? Does it look good?"
In the clothing store, Liu Yingying was wearing a dress, with a graceful figure, a round waist and a pleasant smile.
"You look beautiful in whatever you wear."
Su Jie shrugged and sat on the edge and said helplessly.
Even though she has reached the position of second-in-command of the Jieke Group and holds a high position of power, Liu Yingying, like most women, still has a strong interest in shopping.
No, Su Jie, who had just returned from Tianyuan World, was taken shopping by Liu Yingying in his free time.
"What! It's so perfunctory."
Liu Yingying rolled her eyes at Su Jie.
"If you like it, buy them all."
"No, I just enjoy the process."
Liu Yingying snorted softly. Even if she could buy a whole street of clothes, she would not do so. Compared with these, she enjoyed the process of shopping with Su Jie more.
In terms of material enjoyment, at her level, there is nothing missing, but spiritual enjoyment, being with Su Jie, is Liu Yingying's biggest pursuit now.
Su Jie disappears for a long time at every turn, so Liu Yingying cherishes the opportunity for the two of them to be together, especially when they don't talk about work and just have fun.
Twenty minutes later, Liu Yingying carried a few pieces of bought clothes, hugged Su Jie's arm and left the clothing store contentedly.
At this time, a plainclothes bodyguard walked up to Su Jie and whispered: "Boss, a few flies have been taken care of."
"Okay, I understand, let's get in the car and go back first."
Su Jie nodded, and with a quick glance, he saw that several genetic warriors acting as his security bodyguards were in a high-rise building, killing several spies.
Su Jie is always surrounded by a team of genetic warriors who are responsible for security. Among them are genetic warriors who specialize in perception. This security team specially assigned to Su Jie has extremely high standards. Since its establishment, it has uncovered hundreds of activities against Su Jie. , great achievements in battle.
Similar security is provided to the top management of Jieke Group, but it is not as strict as Su Jie's.
Of course, for Su Jie, even without any security, it is impossible for anyone to successfully assassinate him, unless the assassination uses a hydrogen bomb.
A bulletproof car drove over. Liu Yingying followed Su Jie into the back seat, pursed her lips and said: "I don't know which country they are from, there are several batches of them."
"Tsk, things haven't been peaceful recently!"
"It's not the Kra Isthmus Canal that's causing trouble. Since we announced that we would dig the Kra Canal, the situation that had just stabilized has become the focus of the world."
Liu Yingying said, a week ago, Jieke Group announced to the outside world in an official name that Jieke Group would cooperate with the Siamese government to dig the Kra Isthmus Canal.
The so-called Kra Isthmus Canal is located in a narrow strip of land in Chumphon and Ranong in Siam. It connects the Indochina Peninsula to the north and the Malay Islands to the south. The approximately 400 kilometers south of the isthmus are Siamese territory, and the narrowest point is 50 It is more than 190 kilometers long, about 190 kilometers at its widest point, and 75 meters above sea level at its highest point.
In the official announcement of Jieke Group, the planned canal is expected to be 102 kilometers long, with a two-way channel of 700 meters and a water depth of 55 meters.
The announcement of this news is a bombshell for the world, especially Southeast Asia.
Because once the Kra Isthmus Canal across southern Siam is completed, it will be able to connect the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Siam. Ships entering the Pacific Ocean will not have to pass through the Strait of Malacca and will detour through Temasek and Johor, shortening the voyage by at least 1,300 kilometers.
Calculated based on a 100,000-ton oil tanker, the cost can be saved by four to five million US dollars, not to mention the shortened time and greatly increased the circulation speed of goods.
“There’s a lot of commotion over at Temasek, isn’t it?”
Sujie said calmly that the Strait of Malacca is the lifeblood of Temasek. Without the Strait of Malacca, the global shipping chokepoint, Temasek will plummet in terms of economic income and status in the international community.
The Strait of Malacca is responsible for 25% of global crude oil and refined oil transportation, and 30% of global maritime trade also needs to pass through the strait. You can imagine how exaggerated the interests it represents are.
The tolls, taxes, logistics and other service fees that Temasek received from this waterway made Temasek rich, and it became a global logistics, financial, and shipping center in one fell swoop.
Therefore, when JC Group builds the Kra Isthmus, Temasek will naturally be jealous and try its best to obstruct it.
"More than making a fuss, they are almost fighting us. Not only are they protesting publicly, but they are also suing us at the Joint Security Council and asking the International Court of Justice to intervene in arbitration. They have used all kinds of strength to prevent us from building the Kra Isthmus Canal."
Liu Yingying chuckled lightly, her words filled with disdain.
For Jieco Group, Temasek is just a small country, and small countries have no human rights.
"But in addition to Temasek, there are other countries such as Johor and Java that are protesting, and even the three countries are openly opposed to our construction of this canal. At present, the United Nations Security Council is led by the beautiful country and a group of his followers, especially the so-called Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance , wantonly slandered our construction of the Kra Isthmus Canal, saying that we built the Kra Isthmus Canal in order to block the throat of the global maritime economic artery, which is an act that seriously endangers global peace.”
As Liu Yingying spoke, she couldn't help but complain: "This beautiful country is really shameless. It has stationed troops in Temasek, and it also controls other water transportation routes around the world, including the Panama Canal, the Suez Canal, and the Strait of Gibraltar. There are military bases here, and now they are saying that we threaten global peace.”
Su Jie smiled and said: "This is not the first time you have encountered the beautiful country's double standards. They have always been like this. They are used to opposing me. But Ah San also came to join in the fun. It seems that this canal is really affecting me." The huge benefits make them unable to sit still. The more they oppose, the more we will build it.”
"Now we are in charge of Siam, and they are just complaining in the Joint Security Council. Any opposition proposal they make will be a piece of waste paper as long as we don't sign it."
Liu Yingying nodded. It was not that Siam did not want to build the Kra Isthmus Canal in the past, but on the one hand, it really had no money. Building the canal would require at least tens of billions of dollars in investment. On the other hand, they could not withstand external pressure.
Because of this kind of international water transport chokepoint, it is difficult for small countries to control it if it is built. The most obvious one is Panama. The actual control of the Panama Canal built in their territory is in the hands of beautiful countries.
But after becoming the hegemon of Indochina, the Jieco Group was able to ignore these pressures.
The Jieco Group doesn't care about things that Siam dare not do. The Jieco Group has plenty of financial resources, and in terms of force, it can even make many Southeast Asian countries fearful.
Su Jie was very satisfied with Liu Yingying's statement. She was becoming more and more like a strong woman now. She smiled and said: "I will ask Xiao Qian to dig through the canal. The underground machinery is completed. You arrange manpower to work on the ports, roads and railways of the canal." Accelerate infrastructure construction in areas such as service stations and logistics. ”
The Thousand-Handed Centipede, who was dormant in his sleeves, raised his head and blinked when he heard Su Jie calling him. He didn't know that he was being assigned a cruel job.
Su Jie just bullied the Thousand-Handed Centipede into not asking for wages, and directly gave it tens of billions of dollars in funds to dig the canal, which were all embezzled.
"I'll give Xiaoqian more food later."
Su Jie murmured in his heart that the Strait of Malacca was blocked there and the control was still with the beautiful country. For the Jieko Group, the hegemon of Indochina, this was intolerable.
At that time, if there is a war with the beautiful navy, the Strait of Malacca will be blocked by others, and the navy of the Jieke Group will not be able to pass, and all kinds of logistics arrangements will be impossible. For example, if Su Jie plans to equip the Jie Ke Group with the Lanhai No. 1, if this big thing is deployed in the Amanda Sea of Zen, it will not be able to pass through the Strait of Malacca, it will not be able to enter the Gulf of Siam, and its influence will not be able to penetrate into Annan and Siam. When the country goes there, it will face major threats at sea.
On the contrary, if Lanhai No. 1 is deployed in the Gulf of Siam, its influence will not be able to reach the Amanda Sea. This is a serious lack of maritime deterrence for Zen, the base camp of the Jieke Group.
It is impossible to bypass the Strait of Malacca and the Indian Ocean from further south. It is even more impossible. The voyage and distance are too long, take too much time, and are completely unrealistic.
In order to connect the maritime power of Indochina together, the Malacca Strait is like a choke point for the Jieke Group, and the construction of the Kra Isthmus Canal is imperative.
Amidst the conversation, the car had arrived at the headquarters building of Jieke Group. Su Jie took Liu Yingying down and walked into a conference room.
A group of people are already waiting here, representatives from Siam, Annam, Lancang, and Chenla.
"There is something that everyone needs to complete next!"
Su Jie sat at the main seat, looked around, and said: "Due to various reasons, Jieke Group needs a large amount of human blood, so everyone here, please inform the government behind you to carry out blood donation activities. This is our Jieke Group ”
After that, Liu Yingying, who acted as Su Jie's secretary, took out a stack of documents with the relevant plans clearly written on them.
When the representatives of these countries saw the first sentence of the document, a flash of shock flashed in their eyes.
"It is compulsory for every adult to donate blood, at least twice a year. Mr. Su, is this kind of blood donation too radical?"
When Representative Annan saw this request, he couldn't help but speak up and force citizens to donate blood. This has no precedent in the world.
Representatives from several other countries also had surprised expressions on their faces. They speculated that Su Jie's request might have something to do with the super soldiers.
Because after swallowing the body-building pill, the super soldiers of the Jieko Group must undergo blood transfusions to maintain their body functions. This is no secret around the world.
Due to various factors, the body-building pills have been leaked out. Many countries have conducted experiments and imitations. Although the imitation has not been successful, the effects and sequelae of the body-building pills have been studied and understood.
Su Jie waved his hand and said, "You should read it first and then talk."
Representatives from several countries continued to look through it, but soon they discovered that the Jieko Group did not want blood for free.
"Tax deduction for blood donation, cash reward, children's education, employment and pension."
Every time I read one, the faces of the representatives of several countries present became more and more expressive.
Because the document clearly states that as long as national citizens donate blood, they can choose two direct ways to obtain benefits.
One is a tax credit, which exempts you from part of the tax you would have paid based on the number and quantity of blood donations.
The other is to simply and crudely distribute money, find cash, and give the most direct reward. The more blood you donate, the more money you will get.
If you are a rich person and come from a well-off family, you will most likely choose the former, and you can get more benefits from taxation.
The latter is the choice of most people. Jieke Group will clearly mark the price of blood, and pay as much as one milliliter.
Of course, in order to prevent various evil forces from forcing blood to be sold, a series of regulations have been implemented, such as the need to be present in person to donate blood.
In addition, based on the cumulative amount of blood donation, citizens will be called blood donation pacesetters, blood donation angels, blood donation heroes, etc. Those who hold a blood donation certificate can enjoy employment, schooling, tax reductions for house purchases, car purchase discounts, loans, and public examinations. In all aspects, preferential treatment is given to blood donors
After reading it all, the representatives of several countries present here all had a thought in their minds: Did Jieco Group have money and no place to spend?
They couldn't figure out why Su Jie would make such an outrageous request.
The combined population of these countries is more than 200 million. Even if minors, the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled are excluded, the number of people who can reach the blood donation quota is still an extremely large number, which is a huge burden on the government's finances.
Assuming that only 100 million people meet the blood donation requirements, according to the blood donation ladder rewards set by Su Jie, the annual blood donation rewards and operation and maintenance costs will add up to hundreds of billions of dollars!
"How, can it be done?"
Su Jie knocked on the table and looked at the several national representatives present with bright eyes.
"Well, I want to ask, is this subsidy for blood donation provided by Jieke Group?"
Representative Annan cautiously asked, if this subsidy came from their own country, they would not be able to afford it.
"The blood our Jieke Group wants will naturally come from our Jieke Group. But as for the money, it will be deducted from your defeat compensation."
In order to make them do their best, Su Jie did not squeeze them too harshly to prevent them from violating the contract. Anyway, the defeat compensation in the "Manchester City Treaty" was there.
"We in Siam have agreed to this."
Su Jie's words made representatives from several countries relax. The first one to agree was naturally Siam, the number one dog licker of the Jieco Group. Siam had already been subdued by the Jieco Group, and he set an example by doing this kind of thing. effect.
"What about you?"
Su Jie looked at the other people again.
"We Annan are willing!"
"We in Lancang are willing!"
"We are really willing!"
Representatives from each country nodded and agreed to implement the blood donation plan issued by Jieke Group.
Anyway, they only need to use manpower, and the Jieke Group has already taken care of the financial burden, so they have nothing to worry about.
"Very good, you go back. Later our Jieke Group will send a supervision team in to arrange the blood donation plan."
Su Jie sent away several national representatives and looked at their backs with a meaningful smile on his lips.
They thought that the Jieke Group had money and no place to spend, but little did they know that the blood was related to Su Jie's practice of the Blood Sea Devouring Demon Technique. The success of this technique depended on a large amount of blood.
