Chapter 187 Nathan Island's Plea for Help
Chapter 187 Nathan Island's Plea for Help
Headquarters of Nadutong.
Zhao Fangxu looked at the latest document in his hand in surprise. He hadn't expected the reply from above to come so quickly!
He made the final decision just the day after reporting King Nathan's request.
The authorities have agreed to allow China to establish an overseas military base on Nathan Island!
Although Zhao Fangxu didn't know what his former boss was thinking, at least he had taken the first step in his mission to collect the Dragon Balls.
The Dragon Balls from Nathan Island may be recovered!
……
All-access meeting room.
Nathan was surprised that her request was granted the next day, as she had studied many of China's policies and customs before coming.
As far as she knew, major initiatives in China usually required a considerable amount of time for discussion, but she didn't expect this one to be so quick!
It seems that China has much greater resolve than she imagined.
What Nathan King and Zhao Fangxu didn't know was that since Qin Le's two Heavenly Rankings were released, China had become the most watched country in the world, and many countries in various regions even regarded China as the world's number one power.
It's no longer possible to continue developing in secret as before!
Since that's the case, why not be more direct and show our strength to the world?
This inquiry from the highest level was instantly approved by a large number of middle and lower-ranking officers! As the saying goes, young soldiers are eager to make meritorious contributions, and they are strong and healthy and eager to achieve success through war.
In internal meetings, the proposal to establish an overseas base on Nathan Island was passed almost without any opposition.
King Nathan nodded with slight admiration: "Your efficiency is truly admirable. I wonder when you can begin constructing the base?"
Zhao Fangxu pondered for a moment before speaking.
“Overseas bases require the presence of a fleet, and our fleet needs some time to prepare. In addition, the materials and equipment for building the base also need to be transported, which will take at least several weeks.”
Nathan raised his hand to indicate that she had something to say, and Zhao Fangxu paused and looked at her.
"After all, it was my idea to build the base, so we can't expect you to provide everything. We can provide some basic materials and equipment from Nathan Island, and we can also support basic manpower."
Zhao Fangxu looked at King Nathan in surprise. As far as he knew, there should be nothing on Nathan Island. How could it provide the materials needed to build a military base?
"Has Chairman Zhao forgotten that Nason Island is also a country? I also have access to Douyi's national account store, where I can directly purchase many basic supplies. Moreover, Nason Island has many islanders who can help out when the time comes," King Nason said with a smile.
"I have only one small request: I hope your fleet can arrive at Nathan Island as soon as possible."
Zhao Fangxu narrowed his eyes as he looked at King Nathan's serious request.
Although he didn't know why King Nathan was so eager for the fleet to arrive at Nathan Island, it was highly likely related to Behemoth.
Nathan Island had been cooperating with Behemoth, but now it's suddenly contacting them. This must mean that there's an irreconcilable conflict between Nathan Island and Behemoth.
However, as a director of Nadutong, Zhao Fangxu naturally couldn't inquire about the detailed reasons behind it.
"I understand. I will report to my superiors as soon as possible and prepare the fleet at the earliest opportunity."
"I am extremely grateful."
Just as Zhao Fangxu was about to get up, King Nathan made another request to him.
"Chairman Zhao, I have a favor to ask that might require your help."
King Nathan continued, seeing the questioning look in Zhao Fangxu's eyes.
"I am dissatisfied with Chairman Zhao. A group of unknown forces have long been eyeing the Dragon Balls on my Nathan Island. They have already secretly sent multiple people to the island to steal the Dragon Balls. With our strength, we are afraid we cannot protect the safety of the Dragon Balls. Therefore, I hope that your side can send a group of people to Nathan Island in advance to take over the Dragon Balls."
Zhao Fangxu stared silently at the pretentious King Nathan before him.
He didn't believe that Nathan Island couldn't protect a single Dragon Ball!
Although there aren't many people on Nathan Island, most of them are veteran superhumans, whose combat power is far greater than that of superhumans who have just awakened by consuming awakening pills.
Furthermore, Nathan Island is ranked seventh in the national list of extraordinary individuals, and there is also Li Muxuan from Nathan Island in the top ten of the individual rankings, Hua Jinna from Nathan Island is in the top twenty, and there are also several Nathan Guards from Nathan Island in the top one hundred.
As long as there is no danger from modern heavy firepower, an ordinary Inhuman squad would be no match for Nathan Island!
But King Nathan's request was reasonable, and he didn't find fault with it.
Moreover, Zhao Fangxu also hopes to get his hands on the Dragon Ball as soon as possible!
“I understand, King Nathan. I will arrange for a group of people to return to the island with you as soon as possible to receive the Dragon Balls.”
"Then I'll have to trouble Chairman Zhao."
……
Zhang Chulan was guarding near Nathanwei Elijah as required by the mission when he suddenly heard Xu Si's voice in his earpiece.
"Chu Lan, you don't need to keep watch anymore. Just hand it over to the other brothers. Your mission is temporarily over. Come to the conference room on the third floor."
Zhang Chulan responded with a puzzled "yes," patted his colleague, Na Du Tong, on the shoulder, and then walked towards the conference room.
After he entered the conference room, the other four members of the North China Special Operations Team, besides Xu Si, had already arrived.
"Fourth Brother, why don't we suddenly stop keeping watch?"
Xu Si sighed: "The cooperation between Nathan Island and us has been reached. They will take a special plane to Nathan Island tomorrow, and the surveillance mission will naturally be over."
"Isn't it a good thing that the mission is over?" Zhang Chulan looked at Xu Si who was sighing. "Why does Fourth Brother look so worried?"
Xu San chimed in, "Because a new mission has arrived."
"A new mission?"
Xu Si opened his mouth and said, "You probably don't know about the cooperation between Nathan Island and us this time. King Nathan gave us the Dragon Ball and hopes that we will open an overseas military base on Nathan Island."
Zhang Chulan exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap! The higher-ups have such audacity! They just build an overseas military base like that?"
As one of the people who had come into close contact with the dragon at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, Zhang Chulan knew the allure of the Dragon Ball. However, he did not expect the country to be so decisive, even willing to establish an overseas military base on Nathan Island for the Dragon Ball!
"But what does this have to do with us?"
"Queen Nathan has made a request of us. She hopes that our fleet will send people to Nathan Island to take over the Dragon Balls before arriving at Nathan Island. Your new mission is simple: accompany Queen Nathan to Nathan Island to receive the Dragon Balls and ensure their safety until our people arrive at Nathan Island."
