U17, this is the name of the shelter where Matthew lives, located in the desert at the border of Nevada and California. Shelters in North America and Pan-Asia are different. Eighty percent of shelters are funded by financial institutions such as insurance companies or other funds and are established under private names.
For most private shelters, how much money is spent to subscribe for admission directly determines the quality of life after moving into the shelter. There are also some private shelters contracted by some large companies and provided to the company's core employees as employee benefits.
The U17 shelter falls into the latter category.
As the main design company of NS-90, the wealthy Masonite Military Industrial Group has subscribed for "doomsday insurance" for almost every employee, scattered in a total of nineteen shelters in the Nevada desert.
As the supervisor of the shelter, Matthew naturally knows the details of the residents of the shelter. So when Jiang Chen said the name NS-90, he immediately thought of the researchers on his side who had participated in the design of NS-90.
The word America is too far away for him, but NAC is their savior.
If Jiang Chen is in need, he will certainly not be stingy in providing help.
"That's great! Can I borrow your researcher? Of course, I will pay you at a reasonable price." Jiang Chen said.
"I will go and talk to them for you, but I think the problem shouldn't be big." Matthew waved his hand, "No need for payment or anything like that. This small favor is not enough to repay the favor we owe you. If you feel sorry, go , you can give those technicians a salary. But the world has become like this, what’s the point of money anymore?”
Although Matthew declined the reward, Jiang Chen still gave them a batch of supplies as their reward. I believe that with the participation of these twenty or so researchers from the Messenter Group, it is only a matter of time before the NS-90's technology is fully understood.
…
Early the next morning, a group of guests were welcomed at the gate of the fort.
To be precise, they were a group of guests belonging to two different forces.
The envoys sent by Li Wang to Liberty City and Steel City did not insult the marshal's trust in them, and successfully convinced the leaders of the National Guard and the Minutemen. Even if they didn't sign allies on the spot, they at least had enough interest.
Returning to the outpost town with the NAC delegation, Jiang Chen saw these two representatives from the National Guard and the One Minute Man at the door.
"Nice to meet you, dear Mr. Jiang Chen, my name is Barry Clive." Nodding slightly to show respect, the red-haired man stretched out his right hand to shake Jiang Chen's hand, "On behalf of the West Coast Militia Organization, I would like to express my gratitude to Your regards."
"Russell Gilbert, National Guard noncommissioned officer." Another man in power armor looked quite unsmiling and nodded calmly, "There is no need for small talk. Frankly speaking, we are very touched by the covenant you proposed. Interested, Iron City will not accept the rule of anyone, whether it is the Great America, the British Empire or the Indian Native Kingdom. But one thing we must be clear about."
"Yes," the red-haired Barry nodded, "If turning off the weather weapons is also one of your goals..."
After hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately understood what he meant, so he smiled and spoke to dispel the worries in the two people's minds.
"You can rest assured that although the West Coast Weather Monitoring Center is also one of our targets, we do not intend to shut it down. We only intend to make minor adjustments to its climate guidance program. Regarding the issue of weather weapons, Our interests are completely aligned.”
No one likes nuclear winter to fall on them, and the two major forces, the National Guard and the Minute Men, are no exception. If the cost of driving away the Americans is spring on the West Coast, then they have to carefully weigh the pros and cons between the two.
"What kind of adjustment?" Russell Gilbert asked calmly.
“For example, we can transfer the climate disasters on the west coast and the east coast of Pan-Asia to the North American interior and east coast east of the Rocky Mountains, or we can simply throw all the troubles to South America south of Panama, or even to the other side of the Atlantic. of the European continent." Jiang Chen smiled evilly, and then said, "If you are willing to accept our proposal, we are even willing to share the energy expenses of the weather weapon with you. If I guessed correctly, running this weather weapon , the energy required should be quite a lot.”
Russell and Barry looked at each other, briefly exchanged opinions with their eyes, and finally accepted Jiang Chen's proposal.
At Jiang Chen's invitation, the two came to the office of the Governor's Mansion and drafted a draft of the covenant on the spot.
Russell and Barry reviewed it again and again, and after confirming that there were no problems, they signed their names at the end of the draft as representatives of the National Guard and the Minutemen.
The revised covenant did not change much from the original one, except for a few additions at the end.
First of all, after meteorological weapons are brought under control, the east coast of the Pan-Asian continent and the west coast of North America will be included in the scope of climate protection, and climate disasters will be transferred to the Mediterranean region, central Africa and other places.
As an outsider, NAC will cover 60 percent of the West Coast Weather Monitoring Center's energy costs, with the Minutemen and National Guard each covering 20 percent. In exchange, the two major forces will introduce NAC's credit point system, and the bank in the Sixth District will be responsible for helping them establish a credit point payment network.
From the date of signing of the covenant, monetary settlement of trade between Liberty City, Steel City and NAC Outpost Town will be done using credits.
When determining NAC's policy towards survivors in North America, Jiang Chen discussed it with Chu Nan and Han Junhua many times before setting off. After careful consideration, he finally decided to start with trade and use soft colonization instead of direct intervention.
After all, for him, the only things that really interest him in North America are the pre-war technologies buried under the ruins. These things can be obtained through trade, as long as he or the merchants in the Sixth District clearly show interest in these things.
Two thousand "Rangers" from the Minutemen and a thousand "Pioneers" from the National Guard will participate in this war to jointly fight the American "invasion".
After the covenant was signed, Barry and Russell left one after another.
After sending the two representatives to the door, Jiang Chen handed them two gifts.
One is tea and one is cigars.
Seeing their surprised expressions, Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"I can guarantee that the cigars produced in Colombia are as authentic as those before the war."
"I would like to thank you for the gift on behalf of Mr. Eddie," Russell solemnly accepted the gift, and Russell was secretly shocked.
Not because of NAC's financial resources, but because of the message Jiang Chen revealed in this short sentence.
Does NAC also have colonies in South America
Russell couldn't believe it, but if this was true, then the strength of these yellow people was too terrifying.
Seeing the two teams walking away, Jiang Chen grinned and turned back to the Governor's Mansion.
Looking at the signature at the bottom of the document and the title of the Anti-American Alliance at the top, he couldn't help but laugh for a moment.
The North American National Guard and post-war militia organizations joined forces with foreign colonists to fight against the USN, which was trying to revive the United States. Regardless of objective factors, this alliance seemed strange. But no matter what, now they stand together.
Want to revive America
The first thing the soldiers on the Obama have to face is not the NAC, but their future citizens.
