Chapter 393 (1/2)
”A bunch of rubbish! What are they for! After half a month of negotiation, now you give me the result? ”
Since half an hour ago, the roar in the office of the president of the Philippines has not stopped.
Aquino angrily flung a pile of documents into the foreign minister's face, his chest rolling.
Philippine navy equipment basically relies on imports, and the only two ”Hamilton” class patrol ships are also the rags of the United States. It's also interesting to say that the Philippine defense chief always asks the United States to keep the weapons and equipment on the warships with a shy face every time they purchase, but they are all rejected. It's hard to be disrespectful. It's a good dog.
Now it is not easy for the Australian side to relax, and even said that it will keep certain weapons and equipment. As a result, the warship that is almost ready to get flies like this? He also hopes to rely on this ship to increase bargaining chips in the South China Sea negotiations!
The foreign minister is also aggrieved. The Australian president has already nodded his head. However, when he was preparing to discuss the details of the agreement early this morning, the other side went back and made difficulties on several key issues.
Overnight, the other side suddenly changed his mind, which caught the Philippine delegation to the negotiation by surprise.
The chief of staff took a deep breath after a look at the subdued Ministry of foreign affairs.
”Mr. President, we should call the white house now -”
the door suddenly opened and a member of Parliament came in in in a hurry.
”The squid passed through the sea area near the city of oras, and several buildings including a hospital collapsed suddenly when the typhoon passed through. At present, 31 casualties have been confirmed...”
”fu ck!” Akino roared angrily. Walk quickly to the door.
A series of troubles followed. Just accused of diplomatic incompetence by the media, he doesn't want to be labeled as disadvantageous in disaster relief.
”For the White House --”
”let the foreign minister talk, I have to be in the disaster area within five hours...”
...
the passage of the typhoon was like a disaster, but now it has rained and the sky is clear.
The heavy rain washed away the floating dust. The air is refreshing. The dew on the palm leaves outside the window was shining with brilliant luster, reflecting the fish belly white in the East.
In the morning, Jiang Chen sat at the table and watched the morning news. According to meteorologists, the typhoon, called squid, is moving along the western part of the Pacific Rim volcanic belt, passing over the eastern part of the Philippines and plunging toward the coast of South China.
The fried eggs, toast and coffee were placed on the table in front of Jiang Chen. Aisha leaned over his cheek, gave him a kiss, and then sat down beside him.
With a smile, Jiang Chen continued to look at the TV screen. He frowned when he saw the list of several cities that had been hit by the TV.
As if reading Jiang Chen's mind, Aisha asked softly, ”Xia Shiyu is on the other side of Xiangjiang. Doesn't it matter? ”
”I'll call her later.”
Aisha nodded, picked up the fork and concentrated on her breakfast.
As early as the beginning of June, BHP group had transported 100000 tons of iron ore and 200000 tons of aluminum ore to the deepwater port of Koro island in accordance with the ore trading agreement signed with Jiang Chen.
This batch of ore will be used to support the industry on the other side of the waste soil. Naturally, it is better to transport the ore earlier. After breakfast. Aisha drove Jiang Chen to the deep water port at the southern end of Koro island.
Generally speaking, imported goods such as iron ore are packed in small 20 foot containers. Because it can't be filled up, a box can only hold about 20 tons of ore. Jiang Chen didn't have any concrete concept about the 300000 tons of ore, but he was shocked when he came to the port.
More than 10000 containers nearly filled the port, which was not spacious, and the port administrators, who were originally idle, had to work overtime here because of the goods. So, seeing Jiang Chen at the moment, they naturally did not have a good face.
However, Jiang Chen didn't talk to them any more and called Zhang Yaping directly. He was asked to contact the person in charge of the port to give the staff a holiday. After confirming that they were all gone, Jiang Chen ordered Aisha to guard at the entrance of the deep water port, and then began the long transportation.
In order to prevent ”warehouse explosion”, Jiang Chen had to go back to inform sun Jiao first, and then took a bus with her to the steel plant in Shenxiang town. After the people of the iron and steel plant were set aside, the transfer point was directly placed in the open space for stacking raw materials in the backyard of the steel plant.
All the way to noon, Jiang Chen finally completed the ”sweep”.
”Zhennima is tired to death...”
clapping hands, Jiang Chen walked out of the spacious port.
