Chapter 509 A Large Piece of Land
"It's okay, let's go back."
Lu Xiao turned around and said to the people who were watching the excitement, "It's not a big deal. After all, the White Eagle Association is still at war, so it's normal for this to happen."
The front desk clerk and the lobby manager didn't dare to say anything when they saw the armored personnel who were more than two meters tall. They had thought that these combat armors were flashy things before, but the effects shown today were far beyond their imagination. They realized that these were top-notch killing machines.
What shocked them even more was that no one from the Red Dragon Association was injured in the sniper attack tonight.
"You guys come here."
Lu Xiao rearranged the night watch work and waved to the hotel lobby manager and others who were still standing there without moving.
"Hello, sir."
The lobby manager was a white male, and he was somewhat timid. The people in front of him were all elites from the Red Dragon Association. If any accidents occurred, he would most likely lose his head!
More importantly, these people paid Red Dragon Coins when they checked into the hotel. These coins are much more valuable than the worthless White Eagle Coins. The Maple Leaf Coins and other currencies around them are unstable, with one price in the morning and another in the evening. Apart from the continuous appreciation of Red Dragon Coins, there are really no other problems during this period.
The situation of the White Eagle Association is grim right now, and no one can predict what will happen next. These people are very generous, and the manager does not want the sponsor to leave.
"I don't want anyone to disturb our rest at night, can you do that?"
Lu Xiao spoke directly to the manager in front of him in Chinese. After they arrived, they generously distributed translation equipment to the group of foreigners on the scene. No one was too lazy to communicate in English anymore, and the environment was in Chinese from beginning to end.
"no problem!"
The lobby manager naturally agreed immediately. Lu Xiao took out his wallet and pulled out a few Red Dragon Coins. "If you don't have anything else to do tonight, don't go to bed. Help us stay on the first floor. If you have anything, contact me directly."
The lobby manager quickly took the money, carefully put it into his pocket and nodded frantically.
Lu Xiao waved his hand, and the lobby manager and his men quickly retreated. Several of them had smiles on their faces. The delegation from the Red Dragon Association that they received today were truly distinguished guests. The currency they gave was enough for each of the people working there to have enough food and drink for more than a month!
"Captain Lu, should we ask some of the people up there to come down?"
A soldier spoke on the communicator, and Lu Xiao refused: "There are enough people stationed down there, no more are needed."
"understand!"
"Keep an eye on the attacker. Don't let him do anything to hurt himself or commit suicide. He will be very useful tomorrow."
"Yes!"
Nothing happened that night. The area around the hotel was extremely quiet in the second half of the night. The huge aircraft floating in the sky invisibly brought a strong sense of deterrence to everyone. The attack that occurred in the evening also made many people see the true combat power of those tall armored soldiers. No one dared to cause trouble again.
Early the next morning, the delegation members rushed to Baicheng again.
This time, the person who talked to them was no longer a member of the executive committee, but General Olga.
"Nice to meet you, General Olga."
As the leader, Lu Xiao shook hands with the burly man. He could clearly feel the thick calluses on Olga's hands from holding the gun. After he finished speaking, the man in front of him took over and said, "The delegation will contact me directly next. I have already eliminated the personnel of the executive committee."
"what?"
Lu Xiao never expected that the burly man in front of him who came from the military would speak so directly, and he was unable to react for a while.
"The people from the Executive Committee tried to force me to resign from my military post yesterday. I really had no choice but to let my adjutant and a group of people arrest them. Now they are all locked up in the underground detention room."
General Olga said with a serious face, "I am now the actual person in charge of the White Eagle Association. Let's talk about our future cooperation."
Lu Xiao exchanged a glance with the people behind him, and then put on a smiling expression: "Of course, General."
"Let's talk about deep collaboration!"
……
The subsequent negotiations of the delegation went almost smoothly. Along with General Olga, some military figures appeared on the scene. Many of them did not have the ability to carry out such conspiracies and schemes, and their heads were full of tricks. General Olga readily agreed to the contract put forward by the Red Dragon Association delegation.
This left everyone in the delegation somewhat unresponsive.
Lu Xiao calmed down and then asked General Olga in front of him, "Since the general agreed so readily, it must mean that there must be other needs. Just speak up."
“It’s so nice to talk to you guys!”
General Olga smiled at this time. "We don't ask for much. The White Eagle Association has reduced a large number of urban buildings to ruins due to the previous war. Many people are homeless and our currency has collapsed. Now we even need to use the money of neighboring countries to buy things. Although our New Dejia Alliance has won, many things in the future will be difficult."
"So, I hope your association can help us at this point in time."
General Olga's words were very plain. Lu Xiao and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, and then a deeper smile appeared on their faces: "I wonder what kind of assistance General Olga is talking about?"
"Of course it's your infrastructure capabilities!"
General Olga waved her hand and said, "As for your supply of goods, after the White Eagle Association went to war, you cut off the transportation of goods to us. I actually know this. I used to be a navy soldier, and I know the cargo volume in ports and other places."
"That's because your currency has collapsed, and the things we sell are just worth waste paper."
Lu Xiao explained calmly, and General Olga understood: "Let's not dwell on this. I just want to know whether you will help us."
"Of course, we can provide some aid, but for more infrastructure, currency, and goods, you need to provide enough in exchange."
"We can take those military bases in the West..."
Lu Xiao shook his head directly: "We don't want those burdens."
"How about Alaska?" General Olga directly put forward another condition of her own. As soon as the words came out, the scene fell into silence. Everyone stared at each other with wide eyes, as if they had heard some extremely incredible words.
"Are you going to give us this land of Alaska?"
"I'm selling it to you!"
General Olga had a serious look on her face. "We will sell Alaska to you in exchange for your help in restoring everything in the White Eagle Association. Although we bought that place for over 700 million, it is now worth at least several trillion!"
"make a deal!"
As the team leader, Lu Xiao immediately agreed to it. "Bring the map here. I want to sign a contract with General Olga now!"
The atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited, and everyone in the delegation was in a state of trance and excitement. They had never thought that this time when they came to the White Eagle Association, they would get such an amazing surprise!
The area of Alaska alone is as high as 170 million square kilometers, which occupies almost one-fifth of the territory of the Red Dragon Association at that time. Together with this overseas enclave, the total land area of the Red Dragon Association easily exceeds 1100 million square kilometers, directly ascending to the throne of the world's number one!
If this deal can be concluded, Lu Xiao and the group of people he leads will receive huge rewards and become heroes of the Red Dragon Association!
It was very difficult to discuss the details, but General Olga was obviously prepared. He tried his best to meet the series of requirements raised by the Red Dragon Association. When talking about the aid construction, he directly took out the previous detailed data of the White Eagle Association and asked the Red Dragon Association to follow it.
In fact, for the Red Dragon Association at this time, it was not difficult at all to let the White Eagle Association destroy itself and then help it recover. It could even be said that they were very happy to do so.
The thing that the Red Dragon Association lacks the least at the moment is people. In addition to working on the Origin Star, the rest of the labor force is inside the Red Dragon Association. There are quite a few people in both places, but even so, there are still many overflows of personnel. After all, what the Origin Star needs now are high-tech talents, and many places use robots...
The two sides talked for more than two hours before they paused briefly. Lu Xiao immediately went out to contact the Red Dragon Association, while General Olga took her people to discuss things. During the discussion, someone brought fruit and a group of people gathered together to discuss the content, sometimes fiercely and sometimes silently...
"What did the association say?"
Seeing Lu Xiao coming back from outside after hanging up the phone, a group of people quickly surrounded him.
Lu Xiao couldn't help but smile. He glanced at everyone at the scene and said, "Agreed."
"real!?"
"Of course I agree to this. How can I not want the territory? If I really don't want it, I'll probably go to Shangdu to find President Li!!"
"Hahahaha, leader, what exactly did the association say?"
Lu Xiao waved his hand to signal everyone not to get so excited, and then lowered his voice: "President Li called me personally, and he told me that we must take over Alaska as a whole. It doesn't matter if we promise more conditions. After all, infrastructure restoration is not a short-term thing. Many things will take several years or even more than ten years to complete. We can extend the commitment a little bit."
"The most important thing is that the Red Dragon Association has now reached a consensus on the White Eagle Association. After all, completely excluding them from the system is not a long-term solution. We can take this opportunity to give them some hope - for example, allow their scientific researchers and some elite talents to go to our association or even the Origin Star for development."
"Is this okay?"
A member of the delegation questioned in disbelief, "That's not how they treated us in the beginning. They excluded us from the system for many years. If it weren't for the portal, we might still be suffering from their oppression now."
"That's it!"
"I think the association is being too gentlemanly!"
Lu Xiao also interrupted with a smile: "We are gentlemen to begin with, but this gentleman has mastered all six arts. We are strong enough now, so we are naturally not afraid of them putting any obstacles in our way."
"This is what the association means. We can make some minor changes as appropriate, but no changes are allowed in the general direction. You can discuss it first."
“I think we can take over all the waters around Alaska.”
"Shouldn't it have been ours? After all, we took Alaska."
"How are we going to deal with those people and buildings up there?"
"Those who are willing to stay can stay, and those who are unwilling can all be driven away. It is better to use tougher means."
"Of course. By the way, the main thing we discussed this time was the land issue, right? How did we suddenly get to the subject of territory..."
Everyone laughed knowingly.
After resting for nearly an hour, everyone was informed that it was time for lunch. The restaurant had been destroyed, so the food was delivered directly to the conference room.
General Olga was not reserved at all. He sat opposite and cut the meat with a knife and fork and put it into his mouth. He didn't care about gentlemanly etiquette at all. While eating, he said to Lu Xiao: "I know very well that the strength of the White Eagle Association has weakened to less than one-tenth of what it used to be, but those damn executive committee members are still trying to put extreme pressure on you. If you let them talk to you, I'm afraid they won't be able to reach an agreement in half a month or several months."
"If both sides fight again at that time, the situation we have managed to maintain with great difficulty will probably collapse."
Lu Xiao just smiled and ate a few bites. After putting down the things in his hands, he spoke to General Olga: "General Olga is indeed a wise man. We in the Red Dragon Association always like to make friends with people like you."
"The situation in the White Eagle Association should not get worse. We can agree on this point."
Olga put down the knife and fork in her hand, and her voice suddenly became much deeper: "You have also got what you want. There is no one on Earth who can be your opponent. Next, I hope you can also incorporate the White Eagle Association into your system... How about it?"
Lu Xiao did not respond directly. He just said to himself, "It seems that things are not very stable now."
General Olga was silent for a while, then raised her head and said, "I will execute all the people in the Executive Committee. The White Eagle Association will revise our laws and regulations. We hope to establish a new relationship with the Red Dragon Association. If possible, I even hope to go to your place and see it in person."
Lu Xiao did not refuse this, and said with a smile: "The Red Dragon Association has always liked to make friends. As long as they have no ill will towards us, we will show enough friendliness."
"Pleasant to work with."
General Olga raised her glass, and Lu Xiao also raised his. The two clinked their glasses from a distance, and they reached an agreement.
