Chapter 1409 - Anti-America” Pact (1/2)

Translator: _Min_  Editor: Rainystars

U17 was the name of Matthew’s fallout shelter. It was located in the desert at the junction of Nevada and California. Fallout shelters in North America were different compared to those in Pan-Asia. Eighty percent of fallout shelters were funded by insurance companies or other financial institutions, as well as built under private names.

For most private fallout shelters, the amount of money spent when subscribing to the eligibility for admission directly determined the quality of life after moving into the fallout shelter. Some private shelters were contracted by large companies and were provided to the company’s core employees as employee benefits.

The U17 fallout shelter was the latter.

As the design company of NS-90, the wealthy Masonte Military Industry Group had subscribed for “Doomsday Insurance” for almost every employee, and the nineteen shelters were scattered throughout the Nevada desert.

As the supervisor of the fallout shelter, Matthew naturally was aware of the details of his residents. When Jiang Chen said the name NS-90, he immediately thought of the researchers in his fallout shelter who had participated in the design of the NS-90.

The word America was too far away for him, but NAC instead, was their savior.

If Jiang Chen needed help, he certainly wouldn’t be stingy to offer help.

“That’s great! Can I borrow your researcher? Of course, I will pay you at a reasonable price,” Jiang Chen said.

“I’ll talk to them for you, but I think this shouldn’t be a big deal.” Matthew waved his hand. “You don’t have to pay anything. This little favor is not enough to pay the favors we owe you. If you really insist, can you pay these researchers a salary? But for a world that has become like this, what is the meaning of money?”

Although Matthew declined the payment, Jiang Chen still sent them a batch of supplies as their reward. Jiang Chen was confident that with the involvement of these twenty or so Masonte researchers, it would only be a matter of time before they fully understood NS-90’s technology.

In the early morning of the next day, a group of guests were greeted at the gate of the fort.

To be precise, it was a group of guests who belonged to two different forces.

The envoys sent by Li Wang to Liberty City and Steel City did not disappoint the General’s trust. They successfully persuaded the leaders of the National Guard and the Minuteman. Even if they did not sign the pact on the spot, at least they gained enough interest.

They returned to Outpost Town with the NAC envoys. Jiang Chen saw the two representatives from the National Guard and Minuteman at the gate.

“It’s nice to meet you, distinguished Mr. Jiang Chen, my name is Barry Clive.” The red-haired man shook Jiang Chen’s hand. “On behalf of the militia organization on the West Coast, we bring you our regards.”

“Russell Gilbert, National Guard Sergeant.” Another man in a power armor looked rather serious and nodded. “The polite greetings are unnecessary. Frankly speaking, we are very interested the pact you proposed. Steel City will not accept the rule of anyone, whether it is Great America, the British Empire, or the Native Indian Kingdom. But there is one thing we must be clear about.”

“That’s right,” the red-haired Barry nodded, “If turning off the weather weapon is also one of your goals…”

Jiang Chen immediately understood what he meant, so he laughed and addressed the concerns of the two guests.

“You can rest assured that although the West Coast Meteorological Monitoring Center is also one of our goals, we do not intend to turn it off. We only intend to make some minor adjustments to its climate guidance program. On the issue of weather weapons, our interests are exactly aligned.”

No one enjoyed nuclear winters, and the National Guard and the Minuteman were no exception. If the price of driving away the United States was the spring on the West Coast, they would have to carefully weigh the pros and cons between the two.

“How do you plan to address it?” Russell Gilbert asked without showing his true emotion.

“For example, we can transfer the climate disasters on the West Coast and the Pan-Asian East Coast to inland North America and the East Coast east of the Rocky Mountains, or we can simply throw all the trouble to South America, south of Panama, or even across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe.” Jiang Chen revealed a sly grin and then continued, “If you are willing to accept our proposal, we are even willing to share the energy expenditure of the weather weapon with you. If I am not mistaken, running this weather weapon does require a lot of energy.”
