Chapter 486 Return to Blue Star

Blue Star, Zen Country, Mandela City!

On Huifeng Avenue, a man and a woman were walking on the street. Both of them wore masks and large sunglasses, hiding their true faces.

"How about this one? Does it look good?"

In the clothing store, Liu Yingying was wearing a dress, with a graceful figure, a round waist and a pleasant smile.

"You look beautiful in anything you wear."

Su Jie shrugged and sat on the edge and said helplessly.

Even after reaching the position of second-in-command of the Jieke Group and holding a high position of authority, Liu Yingying, like most women, still has a strong interest in shopping.

No, Su Jie, who had just returned from Tianyuan World, was taken shopping by Liu Yingying in his free time.

"What! It's so perfunctory."

Liu Yingying rolled her eyes at Su Jie.

"If you like it, just buy them all."

"No, I just enjoy the process."

Liu Yingying snorted lightly. Even if she could buy a whole street of clothes, she would not do so. Compared with these, she enjoyed the process of shopping with Su Jie more.

In terms of material enjoyment, at her level, there is nothing missing, but spiritual enjoyment, being with Su Jie, is Liu Yingying's biggest pursuit now.

Su Jie disappears for a long time at every turn, so Liu Yingying cherishes the opportunity for the two of them to be together, especially when they don't talk about work and just have fun.

Twenty minutes later, Liu Yingying carried a few bought clothes, hugged Su Jie's arm and left the clothing store contentedly.

At this time, a plainclothes bodyguard walked up to Su Jie and whispered in his ear: "Boss, a few flies have been taken care of."

"Okay, I understand, let's get in the car and go back first."

Su Jie nodded, and with a quick glance, he saw that several genetic warriors acting as his security bodyguards were in a high-rise building, killing several spies.

Su Jie is always surrounded by a team of genetic warriors who are responsible for security. Among them are genetic warriors who specialize in perception. This security team specially assigned to Su Jie has extremely high standards. Since its establishment, it has uncovered hundreds of activities against Su Jie. , great achievements in battle.

Similar security is provided to the top management of Jieke Group, but it is not as strict as Su Jie's.

Of course, for Su Jie, even without any security, it is impossible for anyone to successfully assassinate him, unless the assassination uses a hydrogen bomb.

A bulletproof car drove over, Liu Yingying followed Su Jie into the back seat, pursed her lips and said: "I don't know which country they are from, there are several batches of them."

"Tsk, things haven't been peaceful lately!"

"It's not the Kra Isthmus Canal that's causing trouble. Since we announced that we were going to dig the Kra Canal, the situation that had just stabilized has become the focus of the world."

Liu Yingying said, a week ago, Jieke Group announced to the outside world in an official name that Jieke Group would cooperate with the Siamese government to dig the Kra Isthmus Canal.

The so-called Kra Isthmus Canal is located in a narrow strip of land in Chumphon and Ranong in Siam. It connects the Indochina Peninsula to the north and the Malay Islands to the south. The approximately 400 kilometers south of the isthmus are Siamese territory, and the narrowest point is 50 It is more than 190 kilometers long, about 190 kilometers at its widest point, and 75 meters above sea level at its highest point.

In the official announcement of Jieke Group, the planned canal is expected to be 102 kilometers long, with a two-way channel of 700 meters and a water depth of 55 meters.

The announcement of this news is a bombshell for the world, especially Southeast Asia.

Because once the Kra Isthmus Canal across southern Siam is completed, it will be able to connect the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Siam. Ships entering the Pacific Ocean will not have to pass through the Strait of Malacca and will detour through Temasek and Johor, shortening the voyage by at least 1,300 kilometers.

Calculated based on a 100,000-ton oil tanker, the cost can be saved by four to five million US dollars, not to mention the shortened time and greatly increased the circulation speed of goods.

“There’s a lot of commotion over at Temasek, right?”

Sujie said calmly that the Strait of Malacca is the lifeblood of Temasek. Without the Strait of Malacca, the global shipping chokepoint, Temasek will plummet in terms of economic income and status in the international community.

The Strait of Malacca is responsible for 25% of global crude oil and refined oil transportation, and 30% of global maritime trade also needs to pass through the strait. You can imagine how exaggerated the interests it represents are.

The tolls, taxes, logistics and other service fees that Temasek received from this waterway made Temasek rich, and it became a global logistics, financial, and shipping center in one fell swoop.

Therefore, when JC Group builds the Kra Isthmus, Temasek will naturally be jealous and try its best to obstruct it.

"More than making a fuss, they are almost fighting us. Not only are they protesting publicly, but they are also suing us at the United Nations Security Council and asking the International Court of Justice to intervene in arbitration. They have used all kinds of strength to prevent us from building the Kra Isthmus Canal."

Liu Yingying chuckled lightly, her words laced with disdain.

For the JC Group, Temasek is just a small country, and small countries do not have human rights.

"But in addition to Temasek, there are other countries such as Johor and Java that are protesting, and even the three countries are openly opposed to our construction of this canal. At present, the United Nations Security Council is led by the beautiful country and a group of his followers, especially the so-called Thousand Islands Strategic Alliance , wantonly slandered our construction of the Kra Isthmus Canal, saying that we built the Kra Isthmus Canal in order to block the throat of the global maritime economic artery, which is an act that seriously endangers global peace. "

As Liu Yingying was talking, she couldn't help but complain: "This country is really shameless. It has troops stationed in Temasek and controls other major waterways in the world. It has military bases near the Panama Canal, the Suez Canal, and the Strait of Gibraltar. Now it turns around and says that we threaten global peace."

Su Jie smiled and said: "This is not the first time you have encountered the double standards of the United States. They have always been like this. I am used to their opposition, but Ah San has also joined in the fun. It seems that this canal really involves huge interests, which makes them unable to sit still. The more they oppose, the more we have to build it."

"Now we are the boss of Siam. They are just complaining in the United Nations Security Council. Any of their opposition proposals will be a piece of waste paper as long as we don't sign them."

Liu Yingying nodded. In the past, Siam did not want to build the Kra Isthmus Canal, but on the one hand, it really had no money. It would take at least tens of billions of dollars to build the canal. On the other hand, they could not withstand external pressure.

Because this kind of international water transport throat is difficult for a small country to control if it builds it. The most obvious example is Panama. The actual control of the Panama Canal built on their territory is in the hands of the United States.

But after the Jieke Group became the overlord of the Indochina Peninsula, it could ignore these pressures.

What Siam dared not do, the Jieke Group did not care about. The Jieke Group had plenty of financial resources, and in terms of military force, it could even scare a number of Southeast Asian countries.

Su Jie was very satisfied with Liu Yingying's statement. She was becoming more and more like a strong woman. She smiled and said, "I will let Xiao Qian cough after the canal is drilled. When the underground machine is completed, you arrange personnel to speed up infrastructure construction in the canal's ports, roads, railways, service stations, logistics, etc."

The Thousand-Handed Centipede, who was dormant in his sleeves, heard Su Jie calling him, raised his head and blinked his eyes. It didn't know that it was arranged to do a hard job.

Su Jie just bullied the Thousand-Handed Centipede and didn't ask for wages. He directly gave it tens of billions of dollars in funds for digging the canal and embezzled them.

"I'll give Xiao Qian more food later."

Su Jie muttered in his heart that the Strait of Malacca was blocked there, and the control was still in the hands of the United States. For the Jeko Group, the hegemon of the Indochina Peninsula, that was intolerable.

If the United States Navy went to war at that time, the Navy of the Jeko Group would not be able to pass through the Strait of Malacca once the Strait of Malacca was blocked, and all kinds of logistical arrangements could not be carried out.

For example, if the Lanhai No. 1 that Su Jie planned to equip the Jeko Group with was deployed in the Amanda Sea of ​​Zen, it would not be able to pass through the Strait of Malacca, enter the Gulf of Siam, and its influence would not be able to penetrate into countries such as Annan and Siam, and it would face major threats at sea.

On the contrary, if the Lanhai No. 1 was deployed in the Gulf of Siam, its influence would not be able to affect the Amanda Sea, which was a serious lack of maritime deterrence for Zen, the base of the Jeko Group.

It is impossible to bypass the Strait of Malacca and go around the Indian Ocean from the south. That is even more a fantasy. The voyage and distance are too long, and it takes too much time, which is completely unrealistic.

In order to connect the maritime forces of the Indochina Peninsula, the Strait of Malacca is a thorn in the throat of the Jeko Group, and the construction of the Kra Isthmus Canal is imperative.

Amid the conversation, the car has arrived at the headquarters building of the Jeko Group. Su Jie took Liu Yingying down and walked into a conference room.

A group of people were waiting here, and they were representatives from Siam, Annan, Lancang, and Zhenla.

"Next, there is something that everyone needs to do!"

Su Jie sat in the main seat, looked around, and said: "For various reasons, the Jeko Group needs a lot of human blood, so everyone present, notify the government behind you to carry out blood donation activities. This is the requirement of our Jeko Group."

After that, Liu Yingying, who served as Su Jie's secretary, took out a stack of documents with the relevant plans clearly written on them.

When the representatives of these countries saw the first sentence of the document, they all flashed a touch of shock in their eyes.

"Every adult is required to donate blood at least twice a year. Mr. Su, is this kind of blood donation too radical?"

When Annan saw this request, he couldn't help but speak up. There is no such precedent in the world for forcing citizens to donate blood.

The representatives of several other countries also looked surprised. They speculated that Su Jie's request might be related to the super soldiers.

Because the super soldiers of the Jeko Group must undergo blood transfusions to maintain their body functions after swallowing the strengthening pill, this is no longer a secret in the world.

The strengthening pill has been leaked due to various factors. Many countries have conducted experiments and imitations. Although the imitation was not successful, the effects and sequelae of the strengthening pill have been studied clearly.

Su Jie waved his hand and said, "You read it first."

Several national representatives continued to look through it, but soon they found that the Jeko Group was not going to get blood for free.

"Blood donation to offset taxes, cash rewards, children's schooling, employment and retirement."

Every time they read an item, the faces of the representatives of several countries present became more and more emotional.

Because the document clearly states that as long as a citizen donates blood, he or she can choose two direct ways to get benefits.

One is tax deduction, which exempts you from part of the taxes you should have paid according to the number and amount of blood you donated.

The other is to simply give money, cash, and give the most direct reward. The more blood you donate, the more money you will get.

If you are rich or well-off, you will most likely choose the former, which can get more benefits from taxes.

The latter is the choice of most people. The Jieke Group will clearly mark the price of blood, and pay how much money per milliliter.

Of course, in order to avoid various evil forces forcing blood donation, a series of regulations have been made, such as requiring the person to donate blood in person.

In addition, according to the cumulative amount of blood donated, citizens will be given titles such as blood donation model, blood donation angel, and blood donation hero. Those who hold blood donation certificates can be given preferential treatment in employment, school enrollment, tax reduction for buying a house, car discounts, loans, civil service examinations, etc.

After reading all of them, the representatives of several countries present all had an idea in their minds: Does the Jieke Group have money but nowhere to spend it?

They couldn't figure out why Su Jie made such an outrageous request.

The population of their countries combined is more than 200 million. Even if minors and the elderly, weak, sick and disabled are excluded, the number of people who can reach the blood donation quota is also an extremely large number, which is a huge burden on the government's finances.

Assuming that only 100 million people meet the blood donation requirements, according to the blood donation tiered reward set by Su Jie, the annual blood donation reward and operation and maintenance costs add up to 100 billion US dollars!

"How, can we do it?"

Su Jie knocked on the table and looked at the representatives of several countries present.

"Well, I want to ask, is this blood donation subsidy paid by the Jake Group?"

Representative Annan asked cautiously. If this subsidy came from their own country, they couldn't afford it.

"The blood that our Jake Group wants is naturally paid by our Jake Group, but the money will be deducted from your war compensation."

In order to make them do their best, Su Jie did not overly exploit them, so as not to make them pretend to obey, anyway, the war compensation of the Manchester City Treaty is there.

"We Siam agree to this."

Su Jie's words made the representatives of several countries feel relieved. The first one to agree was naturally Siam, the number one licker of the Jieke Group. Siam had been defeated by the Jieke Group, and this kind of thing was a role model.

"What about you?"

Su Jie looked at the other people again.

"We Annan are willing!"

"We Lancang are willing!"

"We Zhenla are willing!"

The representatives of one country after another nodded and agreed to implement the blood donation plan issued by the Jieke Group.

Anyway, they only need to provide manpower, and the financial burden of the Jieke Group has been taken care of, so they have no worries.

"Very good, you go back, and our Jieke Group will send a supervision team to arrange the blood donation plan."

Su Jie sent away several national representatives, looked at their backs, and showed a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth.

They thought that the Jieke Group had money but nowhere to spend it, but they didn't know that this blood was related to the Blood Sea Devouring Demon Art that Su Jie practiced. Whether this art can be successful depends on a large amount of blood.
