Chapter 136

Lu Yuanzheng heard the report from his subordinates, suspended the meeting, and walked out of the conference room.

Xu Wen is not an ungrateful person. Since she came here, it must be something very important.

And it's related to the Kaya.

"I've thought of a solution." Xu Wen said happily when he saw Lu Yuanzheng.

Lu Yuanzheng glanced around and said, "Come to my office and talk."

His office is not big, and it combines work and rest.

Simple and clean.

Xu Wen was not his soldier, so he was not shy about entering his office. He sat down on the sofa and started talking: "I went to see the Rainbow just now, and Dongsheng reminded me. If the other party cheats on us, we can also cheat back."

Lu Yuanzheng poured a glass of water for Xu Wen, pulled a chair over and sat down opposite her, "What do you mean?"

"Look, they rammed the Rainbow in our waters, right? Although the Rainbow is now a civilian ship, it was once a military ship. And we have the final say on whether to retire it."

Lu Yuanzheng was also a man who understood things quickly. He suddenly said, "We can claim that the Rainbow is a transport ship in service and that the Kaya deliberately rammed the Rainbow first. After all, that is our territorial waters. If they deliberately attack our military ships on our territory, we have the right to drive them away."

Xu Wen nodded and shook his head, "This is the best outcome. But this is not something that an ordinary citizen like me can discuss. I didn't think that far. What I mean is that we can use this as an excuse to ask them for compensation. And the part that hit the rocks outside the island, we need to repair it, and it costs money. The damage to the ship can't be a reason to destroy the property of other countries, right? If they don't pay, then we are right, and it is reasonable to drive them away.

If they admit their losses, then we can ask for more money. A good computer costs tens of thousands of yuan, plus other materials needed for 3D printing, and the cost of developing new warships, all of which can be included in the price. We will ask for it first and then decide whether to give it or not. If they don't give it, then it's their fault, and whether to impose military sanctions is up to you. If they give it, we will use the compensation to build a cage for their ship named Kaya. We can also study and research this ship.

Of course, I don’t understand military-level negotiations and I can’t give any advice. I’m just a businessman.”

Lu Yuanzheng didn't rush to reply. He tapped the table with his index finger and thought for a long time before speaking: "It's a good idea. It can finally open a gap to counterattack the opponent. But I'm not qualified enough in the military, and I can't make many decisions. I'll go to the meeting first, discuss with everyone, and then report to the higher-ups. You'll have to follow and act as a translator when the time comes."

Xu Wen made an OK gesture. "No problem."

Xu Wen's suggestion was partially adopted.

While communicating with Country F through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we also negotiated with the other party on the spot.

Xu Wen once again acted as an interpreter and followed Lu Yuanzheng onto the Rainbow. When they were very close to the Kaya, he stood on the deck and shouted at the other side with a loudspeaker.

Xu, who was acting as a mouthpiece, asked the people on the Kaya: "You have rammed our military vessels and our islands, which is already a provocation and damage to our property. Please give us an explanation for this matter, otherwise don't blame us for retaliating with force."

The other party was stunned and asked back: "When will we ram your military ship?"

Lu Yuanzheng raised his hand, and two rows of soldiers on the side of the ship jumped off the ship in unison, quickly removing the outermost layer of paint from the Rainbow, revealing the previous green primer.

Although the paint is a bit mottled, you can still vaguely see the words "jun no. xx".

The military items that had been removed earlier were quietly put back last night.

It can be clearly seen that this is a military transport ship with obvious characteristics.

The person in charge of the other party: "..."

"Your ship was clearly just a civilian ship when it collided. Besides, you were the one who hit us first."

Lu Yuanzheng said: "First, the Rainbow is just a military ship in disguise. It was a military ship that collided with the Kaya when it trespassed into our waters. If it weren't for the extremely dangerous supplies on board, once it crashed and fell into the sea, it would have caused global harm. It would not have turned at the last second.

The Kaya entered our waters and saw our ships, but instead of slowing down to avoid them, it sped up. We reasonably suspect that country F wants to invade our territorial waters and intends to provoke a war between the two countries.

First, even if it was a civilian ship, the Kaya's malicious collision with a civilian ship was tantamount to murdering ordinary Chinese citizens and was also an act of provocation that my country could not accept.

Third, it is a joke that the F country, as an aggressor, said that the Rainbow deliberately collided with the ship. It is like a man wandering around naked at home, and suddenly a female thief breaks in. The female thief yells that the master is a hooligan! Isn't this inappropriate? After all, the female thief broke into someone else's territory. "

Xu Wen translated truthfully, but his hand secretly reached behind him and pinched Lu Yuanzheng lightly on the waist.

What kind of metaphor is this?

Why does she have to be a female thief?

The journey was long and the journey was as still as a mountain, except that the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

The Kaya is quite popular.

Without waiting for their reply, Lu Yuanzheng continued, "Also..." He pointed to the island wall where a large piece of rock had been knocked off, "Even if your ship really has a malfunction, it's okay for you to pay for destroying our ship and our island, right? If you refuse to pay, don't blame us for being rude and forcibly towing your battleship away!"

Several leaders of the other side whispered to each other for a while. One of them was anxious and stopped speaking in his native language. He spoke in English: "If your military ship was really destroyed, why didn't you come to discuss it that day? It's been several days since you came to us. This is blackmail!"

Xu Wen refuted them before Lu Yuanzheng could even speak: "Don't you claim that you only know your native language? Why do I sound like I speak English better than you do?"

The other party was at a loss for words and did not expect that Xu Wen could speak English.

And he speaks fluently too.

Lu Yuanzheng waited for Xu Wen to finish translating their words, then smiled and told them: "Blackmail? They are better at this, right? People in our country value courtesy. We wanted to wait for them to take the initiative to apologize and admit their mistakes, but we didn't expect that after several days, they still didn't say anything, so we had no choice but to take the initiative to come and question them."

Xu Wen translated it into English, fearing that they might not understand, and he explained in detail the meanings of "負荊请罪" and "兴师问罪".

The other party was not prepared, but was also extremely cautious. He neither agreed to compensation outright nor expressed any opposition. He only said that he had to consult his superiors.

Lu Yuanzheng and the others all knew that this matter could not be negotiated right away, so they were not in a hurry.

However, in order to put pressure on Country F, they said, "If you don't respond within three days, we will forcibly tow the battleship away."

Moreover, it will be towed back to the country, and the battleship and the soldiers on it will be temporarily detained before Country F pays off the compensation.

He also said that a large force would be coming in the next two days, so don't even think about sneaking away by boat at night.

After giving the warning, Lu Yuanzheng and his group left.

Xu Wen thought that Lu Yuanzheng was just trying to scare them. That night, several warships came to the sea.

Xu Wen made a blind guess that this should be the battleship that represents the highest level of our country at present. All the weapons are pointed at the Kaya, and the threat is clear.

Two days ago, the people on the Kaya were singing, drinking and barbecuing on the deck.

There was no one on the deck at this moment, and no one showed up. Everyone was hiding in the cabin like a huddled turtle.

Lu Yuanzheng saw the situation and decided to do something radical.

He arranged a company of people to sit on the edge of the island, eat barbecue and drink beer.

The men of another company stood on the newly built wall, some holding pens and some holding rulers. They pointed at the Kaya, then raised their rulers and made some marks, then looked at the Kaya and drew a few lines on the paper.

They were afraid that the people on the Kaya didn't know they were painting the Kaya.

The people of Kaya couldn't help but show their heads and protest against Lu Yuanzheng's painting of Kaya, saying that this involved infringement of Kaya's rights and interests and was an infringement of copyright.

The people from Lu Yuanzheng immediately retorted: "Why don't you leave? If you leave, we will definitely not infringe on your rights. You can do it on the first day and I can only do it on the fifteenth."

Playing rogue! Who wouldn't? !

The people on the Kaya were speechless and could only insist that the ship was broken and they could not leave. Then they retreated into the cabin like a tortoise.

On the other hand, diplomatic negotiations went quite smoothly. Whether it was because the country was confident or because of pressure from all sides, country F agreed to pay compensation.

When this news reached Rainbow Island, it did not make anyone happy.

This means that the other party is determined not to leave.

Xu Wen was puzzled and sat cross-legged on a bean bag to ask Lu Yuanzheng: "What do you think they want? They would rather pay a huge sum of money than leave?"

"Maybe he doesn't really want to leave."

"What do you mean? Is it really broken?"

"It may not be a malfunction. You can't really admit that it was a deliberate collision, right? If they admit that it was deliberate, then we can attack the Kaya. They are in a difficult position. Besides, a small country like Country F often has a powerful backer. Otherwise, how could they have the ability to build such a good Kaya? It is even more impossible for them to pay such a large amount of compensation without saying a word. Besides, they have come here, paid the money, but the purpose has not been revealed. At present, it should not have been achieved. It would be frustrating to leave like this, right?!"

Xu Wen understood. The power of various countries was intertwined, and it was far beyond the reach of ordinary people like Xu Wen to comment on. So she changed the subject: "Does Rainbow Island have a share in the compensation?"

Lu Yuanzheng nodded, "They should be able to allocate a portion of it. I mentioned that I needed computers and related materials to build a cage for the Kaya. The higher-ups should support that."

Xu Wen was happy, "Then I will start studying 3D printing technology now."

She also didn't want the Kaya to be like a nasty fishbone stuck in Rainbow Island's throat.

It is not fatal for the time being, but it is very annoying even if it hurts a little.

Although country F agreed to pay compensation, we did not give up on driving them away and repeatedly urged them to repair the warship and leave the island.

The other party deserves special pleasure.

"Right now!"

"soon!"

"That's good!"

“…”

A week passed in a flash, and only one transport ship came, carrying a lot of supplies on board. A man who looked like an expert also got off the Kaya, took a tour around it, and then left.

The "experts" said that the core parts of the Kaya were damaged, and in order to repair them, specially customized parts must be made, which will take some time.

The obvious rogue behavior angered everyone on Rainbow Island.

The officers and soldiers held several meetings on this issue. Although they were angry, they still rationally prepared themselves mentally for a protracted war.

But my sisters-in-law can’t do that.

Eight out of ten women don't like to suffer losses in a fight.

Which sister-in-law could swallow being tricked so blatantly?

The most important thing is that the sisters-in-law finally followed Xu Wen and found a way to make a fortune.

Only then did I start to see my money come back. After a small share of the profits, I was unable to leave the island because of a ship called the Kaya.

Almost all the sisters-in-law wanted to give the Kaya a push and flip it into the sea.

Xu Wen was also anxious.

Another pile of letters was delivered to her on land.

This time, dozens of girls expressed their desire to go to the island to study with her.

But in the current situation, there is no one entering or leaving Rainbow Island, and Xu Wen has no choice but to concentrate on studying 3D printing technology, just waiting for the computer to be delivered.

Probably because Lu Yuanzheng made it clear that if this technology could be successful, it would form a clamp on the Kaya. So before the compensation from Country F was in place, the higher-ups had already allocated funds to support Rainbow Island in 3D printing.

Several domestic experts, including those in the military, are on their way to Rainbow Island. After hearing about it, they all want to come and visit and learn, and also to help.

Everyone has the responsibility to contribute to the country.

Xu Wen was under a lot of pressure. If she wasn't forced to do so, she wouldn't be willing to launch something that would only be put into commercial use seven years later.

But there is no faster way to accurately fill the sea than 3D printing technology.

The Kaya was parked here, and they needed to build four walls around the Kaya to lock the Kaya in like a room.

If land reclamation is done traditionally, very heavy objects need to be sunk into the sea first, such as abandoned cars or ships.

This presents a problem. If the sinking position is off and accidentally hits the Kaya, then Rainbow Island will go from being a victim to being the perpetrator.

The 3D printing technology can accurately print the required wall size according to the model and sink it into the sea, which can maximize the restriction of Kaya's movement.

In fact, the principle of 3D printing technology is the same as that of ordinary printing, and it is not difficult to realize it. However, in 1979, even printers were rare in China, let alone 3D printing.

If it had been changed before, Xu Wen might not have been able to do it. She understood the principle, but she couldn't build a printer.

But now there is a special economic zone called Pengcheng.

As long as you have money, you can find ways to buy what you want there.

Then the question arises again, how to get to Pengcheng without leaving the island?

Not only is there the Hong Kong River across the sea in Pengcheng, but there are also many businessmen from other countries or Chinese businessmen who come into Pengcheng with large amounts of capital.

Businessmen may care about current affairs and relations between countries, but they will definitely consider interests more.

As long as she has enough money, Xu Wen believes she can buy what she wants.

Things like 3D printers are certainly something that many industrially developed countries can make.

After all, Xu Wen can give various technical data.

Lu Yuanzheng specially convened a meeting of all military officers on the island for this purpose.

Everyone agrees that we should not punish ourselves for the mistakes of others.

The Kaya was like a fishbone stuck in one's throat.

But no one will stop living because of a fishbone, and no one will let themselves die of thirst or hunger before the doctor removes it. They will just live their life as usual.

If the Kaya is locked up in Rainbow Island for a long time and its movements are restricted everywhere, it will not be able to achieve its goal.

After the meeting on Rainbow Island, Lu Yuanzheng went to Central Island to report, and then followed Song Xueqin to the headquarters for a meeting.

The end result is that Rainbow Island can return to normal life under the premise that the Kaya is closely monitored.

But it only seems normal, and entry and exit to the island are strictly checked.

If Xu Wen wants to go to Pengcheng, he must be escorted by a military ship.

Although she also does private business, the 3D printing technology is for Rainbow Island.

If successful, it should be possible to build a cage for the Kaya in just a few days.

This will have a strong shocking effect on the Kaya, the F people and the countries behind them.

For those girls who want to go to the island, the first batch of political review has been completed and they will be able to go to the island normally soon.

The first batch of girls are preparing for political review.

On Saturday, Xu Wen went to Pengcheng as usual with the fruits of his sisters-in-law's labor.

Lu Yuanzheng brought a team of the best warriors to escort her.

As a result, after waiting in the living room for a long time, Xu Wen did not come down.

Lu Yuanzheng raised his wrist to check his watch; it was almost time to set off.

He raised his eyebrows and walked upstairs.

Xu Wen is not the kind of person who would waste everyone's time for the sake of beauty.

As soon as I entered the bedroom, I saw Xu Wen took out almost all the clothes in the closet and put them on the bed.

Many of the pieces showed obvious signs of being tried on.

She sat on the edge of the bed, holding a skirt in her hands, her eyes red.
