Time goes by day by day.
The impact of the bill is gradually spreading, from society to public opinion, even the media no longer mentions the topic of "cursed children". Under Fang Zheng's almost crazy money offensive, people have been completely blinded by money. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will arrest those "criminals", not to mention that this behavior has even spread to schools - since rational adults have learned to keep silent outside, it is not so easy to find "rewards". But it's different in school. Those children are still hot-blooded. As long as they are provoked a little, they will immediately complain about the "cursed children".
Then, these words will be recorded and submitted as evidence, and the police will use this as an excuse to go directly to the school to arrest the "criminal".
And the important thing is that Fang Zheng will also accept it as evidence and... pay for it.
This is the most important thing.
Logically speaking, this situation had already shown signs of getting out of control, but neither the Holy Emperor nor the Congress said a word about it. The reason was simple—Taurus was coming soon.
If we were just making judgments before, now, based on the satellite route, we can almost determine that Taurus will land at Kashima on the east side of Japan, and then move all the way to Tokyo Special District. Once Taurus really enters Tokyo Special District, let alone the collapse of social order, I am afraid that the entire special district will be completely destroyed. This is why humans are so afraid of the zodiac. They have almost no way to deal with these terrible monsters. They can only wait for death in despair - or put their hopes on any chips they have in their hands. Because of this, those small troubles are temporarily ignored.
Of course, the Holy Emperor did not put all his hopes on the Tiandao Palace. There was also a linear super-electromagnetic projection device outside Tokyo, which was the last trump card of the Tokyo Special District. However, the problem was that the electromagnetic cannon was located on the west side of the Tokyo Special District, which meant that if he wanted to use it to attack and destroy the "Taurus", he would have to wait until the Taurus entered the Tokyo Special District before it could enter the effective range.
This in itself means killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own. It is the last and most helpless trump card.
But this had nothing to do with Fang Zheng, he just watched with great interest as the people of the entire Tokyo Special District quietly headed for destruction and collapse. But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that trouble came to him even though he didn't go looking for it.
"The head of the Osaka Special District, Qi Wu Zongxuan?"
Looking at the business card in his hand, Fang Zheng frowned. He knew that the ruler of Osaka had come to Tokyo these two days. Although the news only said that it was a "friendly visit between regions", Fang Zheng, who had inside information, knew that this guy came here to confirm whether the Tokyo Special District could have enough power to resist Taurus. After all, the Osaka region was behind Tokyo. Judging from the route of Taurus, if the Tokyo Special District was destroyed, then Osaka would be the next target. As the saying goes, the lips and the teeth are cold, and now even the leader of the Osaka region can't help but come to see the situation.
But what does this have to do with me... Oh, it seems to be somewhat related.
"Let him in."
Compared to the Holy Emperor, Fang Zheng actually had a favorable impression of this person. After all, the person came to his door specially - it was not quite right to say this, because when he was bored and came to Shengju to eat, he was told by the staff here that "President Qi Wuzongxuan of the Osaka Special District wants to meet with you."
But no matter what, Fang Zheng still felt good that the other party came to see him in person instead of him going to meet him.
“Crack.”
Soon, the door opened, and then a burly figure strode in. He looked as strong as a bear, with hair and beard gathered in a circle like a mane, and sharp eyes that looked quite imposing. Although I heard that this old man was already 65 years old, it was impossible to tell from his appearance.
"Hello, President Qi Wu."
Fang Zheng stood up and nodded at the other party, while Qi Wuzongxuan looked at Fang Zheng and smiled slightly.
"Hello, Mr. Fang Zheng from Tiandao Palace. I have heard of your great name for a long time."
As he spoke, Qi Wuzongxuan waved his hand. Seeing his action, the subordinates following Qi Wuzongxuan turned around and left the room, closing the door at the same time.
"I never thought that the president of the Osaka region would come to me personally... Do you have any advice?"
Fang Zheng gestured to Qi Wuzongxuan to sit down, and the other party sat on the sofa next to him without any hesitation. Then Fang Zheng sat down and looked at the old man in front of him.
"Then I won't say any more nonsense."
Qi Wuzongxuan was obviously not a person who liked to waste time. He straightened his body and looked at Fang Zheng.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, let me get straight to the point here... Are you willing to rule this country with me?"
“…Huh?”
Hearing this, Fang Zheng was stunned.
"... At this time, talking about ruling... Mr. President, I'm afraid you haven't woken up yet, right?"
"Yes, it is indeed a nightmare."
Qi Wuzong Xuan nodded vigorously.
"We humans have been trapped in this nightmare for nearly ten years, but today, I saw the dawn of waking up from this nightmare... Mr. Fang Zheng, you should understand why. I saw new possibilities in you and your 'cursed children'! That is the possibility of completely eliminating the protogastrics, liberating humans, and ruling the world again!"
I see.
Hearing this, Fang Zheng finally understood that the president of the Osaka region had come to check on the situation of the Taurus in the Tokyo Special Zone. In order to reassure him, the Holy Emperor would naturally take out the information about his previous battle with Bushicui and the others. Obviously, the president saw a lot of what he needed from it.
"The protogastric animals will eventually be wiped out by us humans, and Mr. Fang Zheng, your Tiandao Palace has given us hope! As long as the protogastric animals are wiped out, humans will rule the planet again. Therefore, we must be prepared for all this. First of all, this country... The current situation is very abnormal. After expelling and eliminating those protogastric animals, I will reunify the five special districts of Tokyo, Osaka, Sendai, and let them return to their places again!"
As he spoke, Qi Wuzongxuan raised his right hand and clenched it tightly.
“Well said.”
Fang Zheng raised his hands and clapped.
"But my heart is not moved at all. I think you know why, President Qi Wu."
"certainly."
Qi Wuzongxuan reached out and took out a piece of paper from his arms and placed it in front of Fangzheng. Fangzheng reached out and picked up the paper, took a look at the contents on it, then raised his eyebrows and whistled.
“…This is really interesting.”
Because what Fang Zheng held in his hand was nothing else but the "錵" resource exploitation agreement reached between Qi Wuzong Xuan and other countries.
The distribution of metals in the world is uneven, and in the current world, because of the rampant protostomes, "golden" that can suppress protostomes has naturally become an important resource comparable to rare earth in the eyes of various countries. Japan, with its many volcanic areas, is naturally a major mining area for "golden" resources. In fact, it is okay for small island countries like this, because the area is small, so the amount of gold required is not large. But it is hard to say for other places. When Fang Zheng went to save the cursed child, he also went to other places to take a look, especially the rabbit family and the bear's place, because they have a large area and a large population, so the demand for gold is naturally high.
The island nation has been controlling the export of gold for various reasons.
But now, the situation has changed.
"I have reached an agreement with the mainland government in the west."
Qi Wuzongxuan stared at Fang Zheng and spoke word by word.
"They will provide me with weapons and equipment and help me unify the country, and I will allow them to enter the country's metal mining market and give them one-fifth of the mining reserves..."
Wow, foreign guides, I like this.
This time Fang Zheng was actually quite interested. He had never thought that he would actually meet the comprador class from abroad. Was this person planning to create a Japanese version of the puppet Manchukuo government?
Could I also achieve the achievement of "Madam, please come this way"?
It's really a changing world.
"But I don't see how this would benefit me."
"Of course, I can understand this, it's just to show my sincerity..."
As he spoke, Qi Wuzongxuan took back the agreement and stared at Fang Zheng again.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, you have seen my sincerity. Let's rule this country together. Money, power, women, everything you want will be at your fingertips. And... I can promise you that you can choose any one of Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku as the territory of Tiandao Palace! Not only that, I will also order the people of the whole country to send all the 'cursed children' to Tiandao Palace!"
"Um……"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng frowned for the first time. To be honest, he had always looked down on traitors, but if it was a Japanese traitor, and an elite who was willing to give up land in exchange for power and strength, then it would be different. Such a person might be despised by his own people, but for Fang Zheng...what did it have to do with him?
No, it should be said that this is actually a good thing.
So, should we sign a new era "Treaty of Shimonoseki" with this guy?
After thinking for a moment, Fang Zheng made a decision.
"Let me think about it."
