Chapter 1,330 They Are Not Here to Compete

"Compared to such trivial issues, I'm more concerned about the situation with Bernice's election." Putting away the holographic screen, Jiang Chen smiled and said casually, "After all, we are on Joseph's side. I threw a lot of chips away.”

"Not particularly optimistic," Ayesha shook her head and said softly, "The situation in South America is heating up, and a large number of Colombian refugees are pouring into the United States. It is inevitable that the support rate of the hawks will rise. What's more, it coincides with the tense relationship between New Zealand and the United States..."

Jiang Chen nodded and remained silent.

He had not considered the refugee effect brought about by the war, but the United States was undoubtedly the first choice in the minds of the Colombian people, followed by Canada. The influx of refugees will inevitably bring poverty and crime to the United States, causing a series of social problems. This is a critical moment in the election campaign, and these problems will have an immediate impact on the election.

Speaking of which, Mr. Kennedy Jr.’s opponents seem to have been campaigning against refugees.

One of the political proposals is to build the Great Wall on the US-Mexico border...

…

A meeting is being held inside the U.S. Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia.

It was not just high-level officials from the Department of Defense who were present, but also the president and his advisers and cabinet bureaucrats.

It's interesting to say that just three days ago, these people in the conference room had just held a meeting at the White House. Now, in a different place, the same people held a meeting at the Pentagon. Although the topics discussed are different, the objects of discussion have not changed at all.

A copy of the conference document was placed in front of everyone, along with a brochure that said something like "2017 New World International Defense Expo".

This brochure was designed by Future People Military Industry and was distributed by the New Zealand National Defense Department, the main unit of the defense exhibition, to relevant procurement units of the invited countries through the embassies in various countries. What is in front of everyone now is a photocopy, which the CIA obtained from an invited country.

If it is just a country's defense development, it is not enough for the Pentagon to put up such a battle.

The key to the problem is the weapons that a certain country plans to sell at this defense exhibition...

"...Future Military Industry plans to sell EMP weapons and mechanical exoskeletons to the Earth Defense Alliance members." Looking around at his colleagues present, Secretary of Defense Carter spoke solemnly, "Although it is not yet certain that they plan to sell it to the outside world. Which type of weapon is being exported, but we must pay enough attention to it. I believe you all know what it means to us once emp weapons spread.

"

The senior officials of the Department of Defense and the bureaucrats in the White House looked at each other and obviously felt something bad about Carter's words.

After hesitating for a moment, the White House military adviser applied to speak, then twirled his ballpoint pen and said.

"Thinking about it on the other hand, does this mean that we also have a chance to get their EMP weapons? We have not made any effective progress in the technical bottleneck of EMP weapon research and development. If we can find a way to buy it from them..."

"Impossible," Carter shook his head and said with a wry smile, "No American military industry company has been invited, and our procurement unit is obviously not on their list."

Not to mention the United States, no NATO member states were invited, and all 47 invited countries were members of the Earth Defense Alliance.

In a sense, Xinguo's behavior does confirm the United States' speculation.

Star Ring Trade is not satisfied with the Earth Defense Alliance existing only as a defense organization for extraterrestrial civilization. It first used the space elevator and the global power grid plan to hijack the economies of member states on its own chariot, and now it has begun to strengthen the relationship between member states. military cooperation.

Whether they want to be the second United Nations, the second NATO, or a combination of the two, the White House has not yet known. However, from the series of actions of Star Ring Trade, they have already felt strong vigilance.

"The Olympics will be held in Tokyo soon." Facing the conference room that fell into silence several times, Hillary, who had been sitting there without saying a word, suddenly broke the silence on the conference table. "I will go to Tokyo to attend the opening ceremony. I will talk to that person face to face at that time.”

…

The war that took place thousands of kilometers away did not affect the prosperity of Koro Island. All those participating in the war were foreign soldiers, and none of the domestic soldiers were involved.

It's just that the impact of that war eventually hit the beaches of the new country with the trans-Pacific monsoon. Everyone is discussing whether there is going to be a war. Will the new country also send volunteer troops like the Moro Kingdom? How will NATO react?

After all, the Colombian authorities had detained the New Country delegation at the behest of the CIA in an attempt to blame Juan's death on the New Country. It was the members of the Farc who rescued the delegation and sent them to the Ecuadorian border.

At least that’s what the mainstream media in New Zealand reported.

Whether it is public opinion or official opinion, they are all on the side of supporting FARC. There are even calls for sending troops to Colombia, which are increasingly rising on the official website of Star Circle Trading.

Regarding the war, the people of New Zealand did not feel any worries, because Star Ring Trade never seemed to lose in its overseas military operations, and it never brought the sequelae of the war back to the country. It's just that immigrants from the United States or Europe still have mixed feelings about the whole thing.

With their motherland on one side and the country they currently live in on the other, there seems to be no better choice for them except calling for peace.

August has quickly arrived.

The Tokyo Olympics is about to open, and New Zealand athletes have arrived at the Tokyo training ground in mid-July for a week of adaptive training.

Because it was the first time that athletes were sent to participate in the Olympic Games, the whole country attached great importance to it, and both the official and the private sector showed considerable enthusiasm.

When the biochemical crisis broke out in Tokyo about two years ago, people around the world were not optimistic that Japan would be able to escape the shadow of the T-virus. Land prices in Tokyo almost fell to the floor. It was at that time that Jiang Chen took advantage of the fact that the T-virus vaccine had not yet been released by Future Biotech, so he took advantage of the information gap and bought almost half of the real estate in Tokyo.

In order to support the sports career of New Zealand, Jiang Chen specially called the professional agent who helped him manage real estate in Tokyo, and took out a five-star hotel not far from the Olympic Village from his real estate to let New Zealand The athletes all moved in for free.

Living outside the Olympic Village during the Olympics is generally a privilege reserved for big-name athletes. For example, the U.S. Men's Basketball Dream Team, which competed for the first time in 1992, has never lived in the Olympic Village. However, like Xinguo, it has reserved accommodation for all more than 200 athletes and more than 100 coaches, team leaders, and medical personnel. The entire five-star hotel is the first time in the history of the Olympic Games.

Even Saudi Arabia has never been so embarrassed.

The generosity of the chairman of Futureman Group has successfully caught the attention of all netizens around the world who are paying attention to the Olympic Games. While people lament the luck of the New Zealand athletes, they can't help but sigh that the chairman is really rich.

So much so that an athlete from another country who did not want to disclose his life said sourly in an interview with the media.

"They are not here to compete at all, they are here to show off their wealth..."
