I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

On the diplomatic front, unlike several other allies who are keen to show muscle on the international stage, Australia has always been very soy sauce. This is because of its unique geographical location, and on the other hand because its people themselves are not very interested in international affairs.

To tell the joke, when the Australian government tried to win a seat in the UN Security Council, the opposition party Abbott also laughed at the time when Prime Minister Kevin Rudd spent too much time overseas and stayed away from global actions to address climate change. .

Compared with the English and French beauty where the big aunt seems to have made a fuss about the Chinese election, Australia is undoubtedly like a meek sheep. However, this sheep has a good naval power.

At present, the Royal Australian Navy has six "Corinth" class conventional submarines, four "Adelaide" class frigates, eight "Anzak" class frigates, eight landing ships, and eight mine warships. It is no exaggeration for the most powerful naval force in the Pacific.

Not only that, the current "A-1400" and "Color a1000" plans being promoted by the Australian Navy will cost 7.5 billion and 37 billion US dollars respectively to build 3 "Hobart" Aegis destroyers and 12 "Collins" class submarines. Replace the original equipment. Adhering to the 2020 new year, the strategy of reinventing in 2030, drastically promoted the modernization of the navy

However, these all require money.

Compared to a moderate foreign policy and a loose budget, its determination to strengthen the navy is ambitious.

It is precisely because of this that how to properly handle old warships has always been a problem that plagued Canberra. If the Philippines is willing to buy these old broken irons, the Australian government naturally has no reason to refuse.

As for the "additional conditions" for changing the current position in the Western Pacific, it is obviously not so unacceptable to the Australian side. After all, the new country is only a small country with a population of 20,000.

And Jiang Chen. It is to start this arms sales agreement and stir up this single business.

Canberra, the capital of Australia.

A taxi was parked outside a restaurant in the suburb of Burger King.

The door opened and a middle-aged man in a gray trench coat walked to the door. After looking at the decor of the store, he carefully looked back.

After confirming that there was no reporter, he opened the door and walked into the store, nothing. Go straight to the last seat and sit down and look at the black man sitting opposite him.

Bakari, department manager of Star Ring Trading Company.

"Bakari?" The middle-aged man took out his cell phone and looked at it, then looked at Bakari and asked for a low voice.

"Yes, you must be Brody." Bakari smiled and extended his right hand.

Brody, a member of the Liberal Party, is second only to the Malcolm who is the head of the Liberal Party.

After hesitation, Brody took his hand and shook it. At the same time staring at his eyes and said.

"The manager of the Star Trading Company? Australia does not need security, I am afraid I can't help you."

Bakary smiled and placed his arm on the table.

"But we can definitely help you."

Brody raised his eyebrows and motioned him to continue.

Bakary grinned and revealed his white teeth. "I heard that you have a retired meko-200 frigate."

"No way. The ship has decided to sell it to the Philippines. It is impossible to sell it to you. If you are here for this, we have nothing to say." Brody immediately understood what he wanted to say. I immediately put on the hand.

"200 jobs, your constituency," Bakary said with a smile.

Brody just wanted to get up. The brow wrinkled and sat down.

For a Member, there is no more concern for him than his constituency. Although he was disdainful of Bakari’s proposal, he sat down and was ready to listen to him.

"You didn't figure out the situation, Mr. Bakary. I can't convince the Senate to sell the warship to a country we are not familiar with, even if it is a warship that has been eliminated. No one can," Brody said.

"I didn't say it was sold to the country." Bakari shook his head.

"Private is also impossible."

Brody said he was going to get up, but Bakari hurriedly pulled him and signaled him to give himself ten minutes.

Seeing the member of the parliament sitting back in the chair, Bakari smiled.

"Our boss is planning to spend $5 million to buy a bankrupt playground in New South Wales, buy the warship from the Australian government in the name of a playground, and then convert it into a military museum. This does not violate the arms sales regulations. Because the purchase of warships is Australian domestic companies and is used for civilian purposes."

Speaking of this, Bakari stopped his words and smiled at Brodie's brighter eyes. He is very clear that the Honourable Member in front of him has already moved.

After thinking for a moment, Brody asked quietly.

"How much do you plan to pay for this warship?"

"11 million dollars," Bakary said.

Brody shook his head. "I can only reveal that the price of the Philippines is not less than 15 million US dollars. I am afraid that you can't convince the Prime Minister."

“Is it just $11 million?” Bakari asked with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Brody picked an eyebrow.

"This year is the election year. Do you think voters are happy to see a general who sells warships to the prime ministers who are keen to disrupt the situation in the region, or is a prime minister who is committed to improving employment and maintaining regional stability? Think about it. The prime minister is not a businessman. The people will not care about how much money your warships have sold, as long as the number is not too low."

Because of the service time, the second-hand warships could not be worth much, and the "Hamilton"-class patrol ship purchased by the Philippines from the United States was about 10 million US dollars. The Australian warship may be relatively short in service time, but it is also unlikely to be worth $15 million. The reason why the Philippines is willing to pay 1,500 US dollars to make a big head, the key Australia agreed to keep weapons and radar equipment on the warships.

When selling this warship, Australia is also facing diplomatic risks, because this is likely to be regarded as a provocation by the Chinese, so the proposal itself is also very different in the Australian Prime Minister's Office.

This is a politician's Brody naturally can't think of it. The reason why he doesn't say it is just to get more benefits. Affected by the fall in iron ore prices, Australia's economic data for the past 15 years is unsatisfactory. In such an environment, it is natural to say which choice is more popular with voters.

Seeing Bakari clarifying the words, Brody’s eyes unnaturally drifted down, and the index finger continued to knock on the table, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

"This military sales has led the US, and we can't ignore the feelings of our allies." Brody said, lowering his voice.

Bakari smiled and turned back to open the chair.

"Mr. Brody, do you think it is important for the US or the upcoming 2016 general election? If you can't be re-elected in this election, your diplomatic efforts will only pave the way for the next Labor Party to govern. If you feel my proposal There is no attraction at all. Of course, we can also go to the Labour Party and believe that they will seize this opportunity."

After all, Bakari got up.

However, this time it was changed to Brody who took him.

Seeing the expression of the member of the parliament, Bakari’s face could not help but reveal a triumphant smile.

He knew that he had successfully convinced him.

The rain outside the window is still very large. From time to time, you can also glimpse a few silver snake-like lightnings.

Jiang Chen was lying on a soft bed, covering his bedding under his stomach, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and described it as cozy.

"It has been settled, and Mr. Brody said that he will discuss the matter with the party leader."

"Very good, 16 million US dollars has already hit your account, you are responsible for the line, buy the closed playground and retired warships." Lying on the bed of the villa, Jiang Chen holds The mobile phone directed to Bakari, which is far away in Australia.

I don’t know if the monkeys in the Philippines will find out if their warships have become playgrounds. It is not important that the playground does not make money, but in order to solve the diplomatic difficulties of the new country, the Australian wall grass must be pulled from the tank of the Philippines.

With a total area of ​​13 million US dollars, Jiang Chen is still affordable.

"Right, what do you think of Brodie?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Oh." Bakari used only two words to describe it.

"What is the influence within the party?"

"Prestige is second only to party leader Brody, who helped Brody win the election in 13 years."

"More about the relationship with the Brody MP. We will use him in the future. Yes, you asked him secretly and have no interest in running for the party leader. We can provide campaign funds." Jiang Chen mouth evoked A touch of playful smile.

"ok." Bakari replied succinctly.

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen took a deep breath.

Without the participation of Australia, the so-called economic blockade of the Philippines has become a piece of empty talk.

At this time, the squatting under his waist was moved and slowly raised.

A corner of the quilt reveals a pretty face, a pair of sapphire-like alums staring into his eyes, ups and downs with a rhythmic rhythm.

Jiang Chen sighed and smiled and reached out and stroked Aisha's dark brown hair.

"Hey, I have to call again."

However, his fingertips just touched the edge of the hair, and a sensation of numbness as the ants climbed out of his cerebral cortex, so that Jiang Chen had to tighten his back muscles like an electric shock.

Violent shaking with a few "squeaky" swallows

In the face of the cold and hot sight, Jiang Chen took a deep breath and threw the phone aside.

Everything that follows is not enough for outsiders. (To be continued.)
