He hadn't expected Qi Tongwei to say that, and immediately felt puzzled.
"What are Emperor Qi's thoughts?"
He was curious about what Qi Tongwei's plan was.
Qi Tongwei smiled slightly and spoke slowly.
"Elder Zhong, as far as I know, the Dragon Kingdom also has its own mushroom bomb weapons, and our Great Han Empire happens to be very interested in all kinds of military weapons."
"If you're willing, we can exchange them for mushroom bomb weapons. This would benefit both of our research efforts, and neither of us would lose out. What do you say?"
Zhong Zhenguo was startled.
He suddenly realized that he had underestimated Qi Tongwei.
If it were an ordinary person in this situation, they would definitely ask for an exorbitant amount of money, since money is the only tangible thing.
He was truly surprised that Qi Tongwei could say such a thing.
He increasingly felt that Qi Tongwei was an emperor of great talent and ambition.
After thinking about it, he agreed to Qi Tongwei's suggestion.
"Very well, Emperor Qi, our Dragon Kingdom is willing to make this deal with you."
Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei immediately smiled.
"Okay, then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
……
Eagle Sauce Country.
Upon Harris's return to the United States, she was immediately summoned to the presidential palace.
Inside the presidential palace, Bai Deng was waiting for her.
"president."
Harris walked up to the lamp and greeted it.
Bai Deng nodded slightly.
His aged face looked very serious, and his brows were furrowed, as if he had something on his mind.
He glanced at Harris and said in a deep voice.
"How's the situation with that batch of mushroom bombs going?"
Harris's face fell, and an unnatural expression flashed across her face.
A moment later, she gritted her teeth and told Bai Deng the result of the investigation in a low voice.
After listening, Bai Deng shook his head with a serious expression.
"No, that's not enough!"
"Harris, you must have seen the statements the Great Han Empire made online, as well as the video of Qi Tongwei's interview, right?"
Harry nodded.
Now, almost anything that has even the slightest connection to the Han Empire will make world headlines.
She has to watch the news every day, even if she doesn't want to, she's just passively accepting it.
"Mr., what do you mean?"
She glanced at the lamp with some confusion.
Bai Deng pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"That batch of mushroom warheads absolutely cannot be controlled by the Great Han Empire. Every day they control it will bring them more danger."
"Harris, you should understand what those weapons mean. The Great Han Empire has a serious tendency towards violence!"
"If those mushroom warheads continue to be in their hands, it will always be a big problem for us. We cannot be in a passive position; we must eliminate this threat."
Uh!
Harris was taken aback.
She naturally understood this principle, but how to solve it was the problem.
After all, their threats were not taken seriously by the Great Han Empire. Moreover, those mushroom-shaped warheads were already in the hands of the Great Han Empire, and it would be extremely difficult to get them to hand them over.
"Cough cough."
"Mr. President, do you have any good ideas?"
She asked tentatively.
Bai Deng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
“I’ve already decided that you will go and communicate with the Great Han Empire to buy back all those mushroom warheads for $1000 million each.”
"In this way, we can completely solve this problem with only a small price to pay."
$1000 million!
Harris frowned deeply.
That's over two hundred mushroom warheads. If they bought them all, it would cost them $20 billion!
This sum of money is naturally not a large amount for their country, the United States; it's just a drop in the ocean.
But the thought of them having to spend money to buy their own weapons made her feel uneasy.
"Mr. President, isn't there any other way?"
She asked subconsciously.
Bai Deng's face darkened, and he snorted irritably.
"Then tell me, what's a better way?"
"Harris, is there a better solution that would perfectly resolve this issue for only $20 billion?"
Harris thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a better solution.
Seeing Bai Deng's gloomy face, she couldn't help but give an awkward smile.
"Ahem, Mr. President, I think your method is excellent. We can give it a try. However, regarding the selection of this person, could you perhaps find someone else to communicate with the Great Han Empire?"
She was well aware of how difficult the Han Empire was to deal with, and naturally did not want to get involved in this matter any further.
If things are done well, she won't get any credit, because it's just to make up for their oversight.
But if things go wrong, it will likely add another stain to her record.
She absolutely did not want to take on this hot potato.
Bai Deng's expression turned cold, and he said in a low voice.
“Harris, you’ve been in charge of and following up on things in the Middle East. Now things have spiraled out of control, and this mess is directly related to you; you bear the main responsibility.”
"I put you in charge of communicating with the Great Han Empire to buy back those weapons. This was giving you a chance to make amends, but you're making excuses here!"
"Aren't you afraid those guys in Congress will come after you?"
Harris's face turned pale.
What Bai Deng just said was exactly what she was worried about.
Although she is the vice president, in the United States, she doesn't have the final say.
Bydon is right. If this matter isn't handled properly, those guys in Congress might really cause her trouble.
Even impeachment is a very real possibility.
She's in a very precarious situation right now and desperately needs a credit to extricate herself from this awkward predicament.
The most direct and effective way was to redeem those weapons from the Han Empire.
"Okay, Mr. President, I'll take care of it."
Harris made a decision.
Bai Deng then smiled with satisfaction.
"very good."
"Harris, you are a very responsible vice president, and the country will not forget you."
"I'm waiting for your good news."
……
The Great Han Empire.
Qi Tongwei, Reba, and Li Liqin had just finished their dual cultivation and were chatting with the two women.
Just then, Lu Bingkun arrived.
"Your Majesty, Vice President Harris of the United States has sent an envoy, saying she has important business to discuss with you. Would you like to see her?"
Harris?
Upon hearing this name, Qi Tongwei's lips curled up slightly, forming a playful arc.
141. The Vice President of the US personally visited Qi Tongwei, demanding compensation from Japan! (Please subscribe)
He knew that the matter of the mushroom bombs would not end easily.
As expected, the United States finally couldn't sit still any longer.
They actually sent a vice president to personally oversee this matter; it seems they're really in a hurry.
However, he was the Emperor Qi of the Great Han Empire!
What right does a mere envoy have to be granted an audience with him?
He sneered.
"Just get him out of here. Tell Harris that if she wants to see me, let her come in person."
"If she dares to send any Tom, Dick, or Harry here again, kill them without mercy!"
Lu Bingkun felt a chill run down his spine.
His Majesty has such a murderous aura, but... he likes it.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Lu Bingkun left, Reba said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, the United States is, after all, the world's leading military power. Won't it be dangerous for us to offend them like this?"
As an imperial concubine of the Han Empire, she was not merely a pretty face; she also showed concern for matters involving national interests.
Qi Tongwei shook his head, exuding an overbearing aura.
"The United States is indeed very strong, but in my eyes, they are not even as good as a toe of our Great Han Empire. Moreover, they are typical bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. The more polite you are to them, the less they will take you seriously."
"On the contrary, the tougher you appear, the more respect they will have for you; that's the law of the jungle."
"Just watch, Harris will definitely come in less than three days."
……
The Vice President's Office, United States.
Harris hung up the phone, her face ashen.
She was furious, especially when she thought about what the messenger she had sent had just relayed!
The emperor of a tiny Han Dynasty actually puts on such a grand show!
She was so angry!
Since she became the Vice President of the United States, she has been treated with utmost respect wherever she goes.
How could Qi Tongwei possibly insult her like that!
However, despite her anger, she still had to complete the task assigned to her by the president.
She could only suppress her dissatisfaction with Qi Tongwei and the Great Han Empire, and personally flew to the Great Han Empire on a private jet.
She wasn't worried about her safety at all.
