Chapter 351 Because I Don't Want To

Looking at the old father who was sawing logs in front of the cabin, Carmen stepped forward and looked at the pile of logs by the lake in surprise. $f. $f

"My dear father, what are you doing?"

"The miniature version of the Galen boat." Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Jacono cheerfully looked at the unfinished keel by the lake, and said to his beloved youngest son.

"Galen ship? What's the use of this thing?" Carmen looked at his father puzzled.

"It's useless if it ever conquered the Pacific Ocean." Jacono said bluntly, "That includes us, including all of this, all of which are useless."

He said something that didn't make sense. But Carmen seemed to be used to his father often saying things that people couldn't understand, so he didn't make any gestures, just sighed in an old man's manner.

"Okay, but do you know how to build a boat?"

"I don't know." Jacono smiled cheerfully, and pointed the saw at the keel that had barely taken shape, "Don't look at it as just a piece of wood, there are many ways inside. Including how to process the wood, including how to splice it together Wood. It took me a whole year to build this keel. Although I failed many times, the process was surprisingly interesting.”

Carmen glanced at her father in surprise, and then looked at the keel seriously.

"Can't believe no one helped you?"

"Thaddeus wanted to help me find a shipbuilder, but I refused. I want to try to find out what's going on with this ship by myself." Throwing the saw in his hand aside, Jacono started He picked up the mineral water from the wooden stake beside him, raised his head and took a few sips.

Looking at the happy father, Carmen was silent for two seconds before speaking.

"I heard that you have something to do with me"

"Give up that prophecy." Jakono didn't look at him, but looked at the keel.

Carmen was stunned by her father's sudden statement.

After a long while, he spoke with difficulty.

"Why?"

Jacono looked back,

Look carefully into his son's eyes.

"Babies will one day leave their parents and learn how to walk on their own feet. They can tell us a lot, but they can't tell us more. If we continue on this path, we will face a future that will be More frustrating than the ending they've already won."

"But if you listen to the proverbs of wise men, won't you avoid many detours?"

"Is the detour necessarily wrong?" Jaccono asked rhetorically.

Carmen was slightly startled and fell silent.

Seeing that his son was silent, Jacono continued meaningfully, "Humans should pray to the sages for wisdom. Instead of entrusting the future to a more distant future."

"Although history has changed, the trend should not be wrong. The next few decades will be artificial intelligence, then the technological explosion triggered by the breakthrough of materials science, and then" Carmen said softly, unable to agree with his father's point of view.

"That's not necessarily the case." Jacono snorted. Walked over and picked up the saw, "See this keel? If I just tell you how to build a Galenic ship, how to build a steamship, and one day 'I' dies, can you build an aircraft carrier?"< /p>

"That's a matter for scientists." Carmen said helplessly.

"Science and capital have always been grasshoppers on the same rope. Technology determines the space of human life, and capital develops this space. This is the essence of science and capital. Have you returned all your economics knowledge to Harvard professors? I suggest you read the chapter on Schumpeter functions again."

The old father returned to his stake and started working again, ignoring his son no longer.

Standing by the lake for a long time, Carmen turned around and left her father's wooden house until the sky turned yellow.

next morning. Jiang Chen boarded the flight to Australia. Due to the size of the airport and the passenger flow, the airport in Koro Island currently only has direct flights to two major neighboring countries, Australia and New Zealand. Therefore, if you want to arrive in New Zealand from China, you can only fly to Australia first. turnaround.

After some twists and turns, Jiang Chen finally got off the plane at Keluo Island, but it was already late at night.

When he walked out of the airport, Aisha was already waiting at the airport gate.

"Go to the presidential palace." Jiang Chen said directly after getting into the car.

Nodding her head, Aisha started the car and started on the road.

"Don't you need to go home and rest first?" She asked casually while driving.

"No need. If you can't see me, I'm afraid some people won't be able to sleep well." Jiang Chen teased, then leaned on the seat and closed his eyes to rest.

Aisha pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing all the way.

To the presidential palace. After explaining his identity to the guard, Jiang Chen was quickly let go, and was welcomed by a waiter to Zhang Yaping's office.

I haven't seen you for a few days, and this guy has looked haggard a lot. It can be seen that all kinds of troubles have tortured him a lot. After seeing Jiang Chen, he was obviously relieved. Can't wait to get up and greet him.

"You are back." Zhang Yaping smiled bitterly, looked at Jiang Chen and said.

"Don't ask me what to do, just tell me about the situation." Jiang Chen said concisely.

Zhang Yaping nodded, and began to introduce to Jiang Chen what happened in the past two days.

The first is that after Ivan ordered the sinking of fishing boats that interfered with the construction of military facilities, he led his troops to confront the Philippine coast guard ship at the border. At the beginning, the Philippine coast guard was very arrogant. Although they couldn't beat Hua Guo's coast guard ships to the north, they didn't pay attention to the three speedboats from Xin Guo.

However, just as they were about to break into the dignitaries in the territorial waters of the new country, Ivan and the others took out their weapons without shame.

Now those monkeys in the Philippines were stunned. They never thought that the new Congress would have such courage, and they lost their minds for a while. Although the coast guard ships are equipped with light weapons, the few coast guards in their area dare not make such a decision that may cause serious diplomatic problems. After all, if this is shot, the problem will be serious. So they had to confront Ivan and the others and report the news at the same time.

Finally, Philippine President Aquino managed to get in touch with Zhang Yaping. However, Zhang Yaping didn't realize what happened on Crescent Island. After all, the national defense was controlled by Xinghuan Trading Company.

Zhang Yaping, who realized something was wrong, immediately got in touch with Ivan, and only then did he learn the whole story.

Well, when he heard that Ivan had sunk those rambunctious fishing boats, oh no, pirate ships, he couldn't help cursing in his heart, "It's really his mother's relief". Although there is no real feud between the Panu Islands and the Philippines, the folks have long-standing grievances.

However, he is the president of the new country after all, and he should be more concerned about national interests than personal feelings. After calming down for two seconds, a drop of cold sweat slipped across his forehead.

Just yesterday, Aquino called him again. If the salvage of the sunken ship cannot start within three days, the Philippine side will retain the option of solving the problem through military means to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of its citizens overseas.

However, upon hearing Zhang Yaping's last sentence, Jiang Chen was immediately unhappy.

You said there should be a limit to this person's shamelessness, right? When will your citizens of the Philippines go to the territorial waters of other countries to blackmail construction workers, bully local fishermen, and obstruct the construction of military facilities? Why don't you nb go to Guam to ask your US military father for money?

"The legitimate rights and interests of %￥ # %." Jiang Chen scolded immediately, "Military means? A joke, let me see if I can kill you."

It's been a long time since he uttered so many foul language.

"The Philippines has 120,000 active troops and we may not be able to beat a brigade of them." Zhang Yaping said in a low voice.

Jiang Chen glanced at him and smiled.

"Who said to fight them."

"But they have already threatened like this." Zhang Yaping said with a bitter face.

"The Philippines has been careful to maintain its image as a 'weak' and a 'victim' on the issue of sea power in order to gain sympathy from the international community. It is absolutely impossible for them to send ground troops to fight us. "

"But"

Zhang Yaping still seemed a little unbelievable, but Jiang Chen interrupted his speech.

"In addition, the most important thing is China and the United States. Do you remember what I told you? Maintain a neutral position and not fall to either of these two behemoths. If the Philippines takes military action against us, it will inevitably Let us fall to China, and China will definitely not let go of this opportunity to break through the first and second island chains, and actively provide assistance to us. The United States will not want to see that China has an additional naval military base in the Western Pacific , I will definitely restrain my little brother not to go too far."

In the cultural circle, Xinguo is close to Huaguo, and in ideology, it is close to the United States. This situation has led to both sides thinking that this country may fall to their side.

"Because we didn't stand in line, we are absolutely safe." Jiang Chen patted President Zhang on the shoulder and said earnestly.

Although he felt that what he said was good, Zhang Yaping always felt that it was a bit far-fetched.

"But why don't we stand on the side of the United States and continue the diplomatic strategy of the previous government." He whispered.

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Because I don't want to." (To be continued.)
