Chapter 495 If it happens again, I would rather let her be widowed!
Lin Wanxia: “…”
What a waste of resources!
But, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Alex is not very ambitious.
Lin Wanxia nodded, sat up, and instructed Alex to bring her paper and pen.
As a designer, it is easy to draw a line sketch of a treasure map.
In just a few minutes, he sketched a picture that Alex could understand in seconds, and then he put a dot at the location she guessed, and handed it to Alex, "I guess the black iron ore is here. But it needs to be verified."
Alex nodded, "No problem, I'll go catch two geological surveyors."
Lin Wanxia: "…"
A thief is a thief, look at his brutal style.
However, Alex was so good to her, she was too embarrassed to complain.
You can't be both the boss and the boss.
After thinking about it, Lin Wanxia decided to persuade him tactfully.
She asked Alex, "After the survey, what are you going to do to them?"
"Kill them!" Alex looked like, "Are you an idiot? What a stupid question."
He's a pirate!
"Yes, you can kill them. But mining requires professional equipment and professional people. And it's not just one or two.
If more people go missing, the authorities will have no choice but to investigate you.
What will you do if multiple countries come to suppress you?"
"What's the saying you have here?" Alex thought about it seriously, "Pregnancy makes people stupid for three years! Yes, this is it, it fits you very well now."
Lin Wanxia: "..."
Just as she was about to retort, she heard Alex say lightly: "Do I have to arrest people in one country? I won't arrest one in each country? This way, they don't know each other and can save themselves from teaming up to cheat me."
Lin Wanxia: "..."
It seems, probably, possibly... pregnancy really makes people stupid.
It's not important. What's important is that Lin Wanxia hasn't achieved her goal yet.
Lin Wanxia yawned, her energy was a little low, and she was too lazy to talk to Alex any more. "If you insist on giving me half of the black iron ore, I plan to hand over my half to the country."
Alex: "..."
He looked at Lin Wanxia speechlessly.
There was a sentence written on his face: Are you crazy?
Lin Wanxia knew that Alex's definition of the country was very thin, and he had no sense of collective belonging.
To him, the country was not as close as his pirate brothers.
Lin Wanxia thought about it, and still explained to Alex despite her sleepiness.
"In our country, there is a phrase called peace and prosperity. Our country is different from Western countries. Our history has determined that our country cannot be broken up.
But being able to break up does not mean that we will not be beaten.
We have been invaded by all the major powers in the world, and even bullied by a small country for more than ten years.
Even now, we are still a developing country, and some developed countries are targeting us and restricting us everywhere.
No matter how weak and difficult we feel, in the eyes of those Western countries, In the eyes of the great powers, we are all lions.
Even though we have only been a country for forty years, in their eyes we are just young tigers, young lions and young leopards that are growing up rapidly.
In short, we are extremely dangerous.
They restrict our economy and military, and even refuse to let us go to the moon for a tour and bring down some soil. When
multiple countries jointly build a space station, they don’t even take us with them even though we paid.
We refer to a country, and also to every citizen including me. "
Peace and prosperity for the country and the people. "
Only by experiencing it can you understand the weight of these four words.
Before Lin Wanxia crossed into the book, she had experienced something that was closely related to the country and herself, which was about three years of wearing masks.
Especially in the first year.
She finally understood what peace and prosperity for the country and the people meant.
Only when the country is developed and stable, not afraid of the great powers outside, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment inside, can everyone be happy.
Whether it is war or epidemic, when a country is destroyed, the people of this country will not be spared.
When Lin Wanxia was born, the country had begun to become rich and strong.
She still remembers the Diaoyu Islands incident and the South China Sea arbitration case. She
remembers the humiliation and anger of being attacked in the face and unable to fight back.
Before she traveled through the book, her country had become very powerful.
It was so powerful that the Little Day Country dared to invade our country because of the loss of a soldier. When it was rumored that our people killed more than a dozen of their officers and soldiers, they stood up to refute the rumor and said it had nothing to do with our country.
It was so powerful that people could only "protest" and "warn" when flying in the airspace of the Little Day Country.
The ships sailed into their coastline and sailed freely at the gate of a free empire, just as they did to us.
"Only when the country is strong can the people live and work in peace and contentment. At least that's the case in our country." Lin Wanxia said.
Alex still didn't quite understand, but didn't object.
"If you insist, I respect you. But let's make it clear first, your troops cannot set foot on the Misty Island. I'll take care of the exploration and mining, and I'll load your part on the ship, and it's up to you how to deal with it."
Lin Wanxia didn't bargain anymore, she knew this was Alex's biggest concession.
***
In the evening, Jiang Sinian came back and cooked a big table of dishes to entertain Alex.
Lin Wanxia was exhausted and went to bed early.
After Xiao Yueyue had eaten her fill, they went to visit other families in the family compound, leaving only two grown men at the dinner table.
They were too lazy to maintain the peace in front of Lin Wanxia.
Alex leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his tone was equally lazy, but his words were extremely sharp.
"Although, I don't know what you two did to end up like this..." Alex raised his chin slightly and pointed in the direction of the bedroom, "But, as a man, you should keep your word, right? Is this how you take care of her? You
take care of her like an old lady in her seventies or eighties?"
One finger could knock her down.
She went to bed before eight o'clock in the evening.
"It has nothing to do with you." Jiang Sinian sat up straight, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at Alex, "There is no need to report our affairs to you."
"Tsk! Who needs you to report? I'm taking care of my sister."
"You are not related by blood."
"Whether she is related by blood or not, she is my sister." Alex had a cold look on his face, "Whether you admit it or not, she calls me brother, and her daughter calls me uncle. Of course, I don't care what you think.
Jiang Sinian, I solemnly warn you, this is the last time, if it happens again, I would rather let her be a widow!"
"You try." Jiang Sinian's tone was very calm, not as sharp as Alex, but full of confidence.
Alex snorted coldly: "If you have the guts, never take off this skin of yours. It was you who persuaded her to hand over the black iron, right?"
Jiang Sinian shook his head, "No, I persuaded her to cooperate with you?"
