Chapter 280 Breaking News
22 years, April 27th.
24 hours have passed since the Cara Sunrise incident.
Hong Kong.
A third party who was brought in to act as a peacemaker has already urgently arranged the venue and the corresponding hotel.
The people sent by the American side were Marian, Edward Jackson (US military), and Victor who had been transferred back to the Black Ship headquarters.
The person from Luzon, Siam and Honsavady was Carmen Lopez who had just flown in from New York.
Morning, 10 o'clock.
Hong Kong International Airport.
A large number of news media have gathered at the airport gate, and many spectators are also stopping to watch.
Hong Kong, worried about problems, has mobilized a large number of security personnel and imposed a comprehensive martial law on the airport.
Someone pointed to the sky in the distance and shouted, "Here they come!"
A Jinpeng transport plane circled in the air, escorted by four fighter jets sent by a third party.
Under the control of the airport tower, the Jinpeng transport plane slowly landed on the airport runway, and the escorting fighter jets immediately withdrew.
The news media's video cameras and cameras were taking pictures of the Jinpeng transport plane.
The airstairs are connected to the side doors of the transport aircraft.
After taking a few photos, the Global Times reporter did not focus on the boarding stairs, but looked at the paint on the transport plane's body.
Although the overall color of the Jinpeng transport aircraft is matte silver-gray, there is a row of special abbreviations on it: ZRGS-NQ.
ZRGS—NQ? What does this mean?
Many reporters present also noticed this row of letters.
The hatch slowly opened.
A young woman in black overalls walked out of the cabin. Her heroic short hair, cold thin lips, and sharp yet indifferent eyes made people feel a chill.
Following closely behind was a middle-aged man with a professional smile on his face, who was also wearing black work clothes.
Cheng Gaofeng, one of the hosts and the leader of Hong Kong, quickly stepped forward to greet them.
"Ms. Bai Yalan, Mr. Mang Wenshan, I am Cheng Gaofeng, and I welcome you both to Hong Kong."
"You're welcome, Mr. Cheng." Domino smiled calmly and shook hands with the other party.
Mang Wenshan also had a smiling face.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they took a group photo in front of the cameras of the media.
The Phoenix TV reporter was the first to ask, "Excuse me, Ms. Bai, are you here to negotiate on behalf of Siam?"
Domino replied calmly: "I am here only on behalf of the Sapiens Company. This time, the Sapiens Company will represent Luzon , Siam, Honsawadi and Ceylon to negotiate with America."
The Phoenix TV reporter widened his eyes.
But the second Fox News reporter who was qualified to ask questions couldn't wait to speak: "Because you blocked the Strait of Malacca and caused huge losses to transportation in East Asia, will you compensate and apologize?"
Mang Wenshan smiled and shook his head: "Blocking the Strait of Malacca? No... This was all an accident. Our ships saw the majestic momentum of the Seventh Fleet and accidentally touched the sea valve switch, which led to this tragedy."
"Surprisingly..." The Fox News reporter was disgusted.
Mang Wenshan spread his hands and said, "Apart from the facts, doesn't America have any responsibility for this? If America hadn't sent the Seventh Fleet to Changi Base, our cargo ship wouldn't have been so nervous, and if it wasn't nervous, it wouldn't have accidentally triggered the emergency switch. In the final analysis, the fault lies with America."
Wang Defa? Why does your logic sound so familiar?
BBC reporter Robert, who was standing nearby, ignored the red-faced Fox News reporter and asked directly, "Excuse me, when did you develop nuclear bombs? How many nuclear warheads do you have now ?"
Mang Wenshan glanced at Robert and said, "No comment."
The third media to react, a reporter from Global Times, quickly asked:
"Will you join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty? And the International Atomic Energy Agency? And the Outer Space Treaty?"
"It depends on today's negotiations." Mang Wenshan replied with a smile.
Then came the questions from the Asahi Shimbun reporters. Compared with the sarcastic BBC, the angry Fox News, and the conventional Global Times, the questions from the Asahi Shimbun were more unconventional.
"Excuse me, when will you open the Kra Canal?"
Mang Wenshan's smile became even brighter. He did not expect the Japanese to notice the problem of the Kra Canal so quickly. He did not hide it:
"Asahi Shimbun asked a good question. The Kra Canal will be officially opened in three days. If you are not sure, you can also take the Salween-Dangwong-Mae Nam Canal, which can accommodate 30,000-ton cargo ships."
"What?" The reporter from Asahi Shimbun was overjoyed. He did not expect to get such big news.
Media reporters in the surrounding East Asian region also showed surprise on their faces. This is definitely good news.
After more than 20 minutes, the eight media outlets that were qualified to interview had all completed the interview.
Cheng Gaofeng arranged a special convoy to escort the group to the venue on Xiangjiang Island.
However, the meeting has not yet started.
The content of Mang Wenshan's answers to media questions has sparked heated discussions on the international Internet and also triggered changes in the international financial market.
On the Chinese Internet.
Phoenix TV's Bilibili channel quickly released an unedited video titled "Changes in Southeast Asia: The Uncrowned King Sapiens Inc..."
The comment section below the video suddenly became lively.
[Hua Jiao who loves cats: Horrible... Is this a global giant? It's so terrifying. ]
[Uncle Sam's Axe of Falling Cherry Blossoms: Using a nuclear bomb to dig a canal? Lucia calls her an expert. ]
[Little John Khan: I can make 10 more videos. ]
[Tongliao Historian: @Little John Khan, hurry up and update! Whip! ]
[Geography teacher: Holy crap! I just checked Google Maps and found that the Isthmus of Kra is indeed connected, and the width of the river is very large. Could it have been dug in advance? ]
[Xinmen's eldest disciple: Is this true? ]
[Black Cat Heavy Industry: Awesome! ]
[Dihydrogen Monoxide: Haha… You lie without thinking. There is a mountain of 20 to 30 kilometers between the Ong River and the Chao Phraya River. Are you going to use a nuclear bomb to blow up the mountain? ]
[The little girl who sells her dead heart: @Dihydrogen monoxide, on the Google map that has just been updated, Mount Heniantaweng has been dug up. ]
It's not just the Chinese internet that's discussing this.
It is also a hot topic on the Internet around the world.
On Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook, topics related to Southeast Asia quickly ranked in the top ten.
However, under the manipulation of Western media, public opinion about the Sapiens Company and Luzon, Siam, and Hongsavady is generally negative.
But this does not prevent the Sapiens company from becoming famous, or even notorious.
Although Tianzhu was warned by America not to disclose the Battle of the Eighth Strait to the outside world, San Ge's ability to keep secrets is really hard to describe.
Soon someone exposed the Battle of the Octave Strait on the Internet.
However, America was well prepared, and major Internet giants acted quickly to block content and topics in this regard.
This prevented the news of the Battle of the Octave Strait from spreading widely on the international Internet.
After all, this matter is a shame for America. Once the North American people know about this matter, the negotiations with the Sapiens Company will definitely face very serious internal pressure.
Under the watchful eyes of the whole world, the Hong Kong talks officially kicked off.
