Chapter 2015 - 2015: 2015

Liu Zhizhong's face showed a puzzled expression, a bit confused, he asked, "It's not a big issue, what are your thoughts?"

Landen smiled and said, "Liu, aid is viewed from the perspective of civilization and justice, but civilization and justice also need to eat, don't they?"

"Uh... Wale Republic has walked through hardships, we understand this. However, civilization and justice are not measured by food. The Valle people have always provided aid to Kekistan unconditionally, without any demands for returns!"

"So, if this continues long-term, your people might not agree, nor would your government and parliament. Even if you could push it through under the influence of strong political heroism, the national style of democracy and freedom would be lost, wouldn't it?"

"This…"

Liu Zhizhong was at a loss for words for a moment, and he had to admit, Landen really was a seasoned politician with much political wisdom and experience!

He finally reacted and said, "Your Excellency Landen, you mean that Wale should still enjoy some returns from supporting the war?"

"Yes! Returns are not our primary thought, maintaining world civilization and peace is our primary starting point. But returns are something that comes naturally, aren't they?"

Liu Zhizhong nodded in agreement, took a sip of coffee, "I'm willing to continue hearing your insights."

Landen refilled Liu Zhizhong's coffee before continuing, "Returns may not offset our aid share, but can offset a large portion, which is quite natural. Therefore, you must actively work to reach a reconstruction agreement or memorandum with Kekistan. From Wale's advantageous projects in agriculture, tourism, and finance, you can obtain shares in Kekistan's reconstruction."

Liu Zhizhong thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, this can be considered, I will think about it, thank you for the guidance."

"Additionally, there's a very important project that you must strive to complete."

"What project?"

"In the Eastern Five States of Kekistan, it is still a land of war and fire. Yet, this area has extremely fertile land and very rich rare metal deposits, as well as oil and gas reserves. If the Wale Republic can obtain the right to operate and manage these resources, with a contract for about 50 years, I think it would not just be a win-win situation, understand?"

Liu Zhizhong was startled, really not expecting the other party to have such plans.

"Please analyze it, can you?"

Landen said confidently, "This is definitely not just win-win, Kekistan wins the war, Wale wins the resources. This forms a military procurement cooperation, allowing you to assist Kekistan, which positively contributes to the international standing of Wale."

"When Wale can obtain the post-war development rights, management rights for the Eastern Five States, it's also a great benefit for the local people of Kekistan. At the same time, it can create strategic pressure on Evil Luo Country."

"There is also a scenario where it can make Trup lose much of his shine in his second term. He claimed that once in office, he would end the war in 24 hours, which actually has some reliance."

"Oh? Is there such a claim? Did your team analyze this?" Liu Zhizhong asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes! Intelligence suggests that Trup wants to leverage resources there to form cooperation with Kekistan, claiming that there is United States' industry, making Evil Luo retreat."

Liu Zhizhong took a deep breath and then chuckled silently, shaking his head, "Trup really is unpredictable, fanciful. This would drag the United States into the war, which is not a feasible method. Because that would trigger the third war. Of course, if the United States can intervene, it might end the conflict in two to three months. But in reality, this goes against international law, which surely isn't your original intention?"

Landen nodded, "Yes, so Trup is too crazy. Sometimes madness lacks boundaries. I don't want the United States involved in the war, but I am more willing to further assist Kekistan. The people of Kekistan have strength and confidence to defeat the invaders. In this process, the Wale Republic will certainly play a powerful influential role, much like Yirelie."

"Yirelie?"

Liu Zhizhong was somewhat confused by this.

Because he could not understand what relationship Yirelie might have with this war.

Of course, Yirelie stands on Kekistan's side. However, Yirelie is located in the middle eastern Abel World, surrounded also by enemies!

Only that, Yirelie's title as the "Little Overlord of the Middle East" is not without reason; it wins every battle, excels at air defense and precise strikes.

Landen did not deny at all, "Recent military intelligence indicates Evil Luo Country is stuck in the quagmire of war and wants to change tactics to divert the world's attention. Hagous and Hu Gui Sai Armed are preparing to stir up trouble in the Galsa Zone. Meanwhile, Iglang is also accelerating nuclear weapon manufacturing, with the shadow of the Evil Luo People behind it."

"Such important intelligence, thank you for sharing! Then, next, I will focus on aiding Kekistan…"

"…"

The personal meeting with Landen, finished pleasantly aboard Air Force One.

Afterward, Liu Zhizhong boarded his private jet, successfully returning to the Wale Republic.

Of course, the meeting between the two shook the globe, capturing much attention.

No one knew what they talked about, as it was a private meeting.

The media had the right to report, but no possibility to know the truth.

Landen had a clear understanding of international circumstances. He had a profound recognition of the United States itself. Knowing he couldn't be re-elected, Trup would certainly take office, so he had to arrange some contingency plans.

And Liu Zhizhong was this strong contingency.

Or rather, the entire Wale Country was also a contingency.

The world might not know the truth, but all sensitive politicians would retrospectively think through many issues afterward, drawing conclusions.

Unfortunately, after Liu Zhizhong and Landen returned to their own countries, there were no significant political events between the United States and Wale Republic, creating explosive news!

This old and young pair certainly can endure and remain silent, truly possessing political wisdom.

Liu Zhizhong also learned much from Landen, heh heh…

In contrast, just after the first peace talks broke down, within less than a week, a groundbreaking event took place in England's political arena.

Prime Minister Johnsen was defeated in debates within the parliament and was forced to resign on the spot.

When such news broke, it shocked the world.

Of course, some countries were genuinely collectively overjoyed.

Those there were ecstatic, saying the West was doomed, and with Golden Hair, such a strong supporter of war, stepping down, Kekistan was finished, leaving no doubt that Evil Luo would surely win!
