In the Eastern Alliance Round Table Conference Room on the 93rd floor of Huaxia Building, the eleven leaders of the alliance sat around the round table, regardless of their rank.
The eleven heads are Shaton Nicolason, the chief municipal councilor of the East Sea Region and the Prime Minister.
Governor Smith of Innsburg; Governor Hamilton of Leona; Governor Martin of New Orleans; Governor Ferrari of Florence; Governor Mitchell of St. Terenzi; and Governor Mueller of Ausland.
These six states are traditional Western states.
Among them, the heavy industry in Saint Teren State is particularly developed, and it was originally one of the core heavy industrial areas of the empire.
It has reached many bilateral economic cooperation agreements with Montenegro.
Mitchell also established a good personal friendship with Prince Lu Ming of Black Mountain Castle.
Lewisham Hamilton, the governor of Leona, is an extreme Western supremacist and is said to have close ties with the White Rose Organization.
When the Ueto Group in Japan secretly purchased the plane, it intended to pass through Ona State on its way back to Japan, but it did not expect to be intercepted by the Montenegrins along the way.
Because of this, Hamilton was even more dissatisfied with Lu Ming, but he was originally the representative who was most opposed to the Principality of Montenegro joining the alliance.
Innisfree Governor Smith was once beaten by Christine's eldest brother, and Lu Ming later had contact with him.
New Orient Governor Martin, Florence Governor Ferrari, and Ausland Governor Mueller all have a good relationship with Lu Ming.
Among them, Martin is the newly elected governor. What is less known is that his biggest supporter behind the scenes is Prince Lu Ming of Black Mountain Castle.
The light industry in the New Oriental State is extremely developed.
Florence and Osland were allowed to join the alliance last year. Their economies are relatively weak compared to other states. Located on the westernmost side of the alliance, they serve as a buffer between the alliance and the area actually controlled by the imperial capital.
This is the situation in the six traditional Western states.
In addition to the East China Sea region and the six traditional Western states, there are also two traditional Central Continent states and one Central Continent autonomous province.
The heads are Li Hanchao, Governor of Eden State, Li Ande, Governor of Newton State, and Li Yuande, Chairman of the New Ji Province Autonomous Government.
The governor of Eaton State was originally Lu Ming’s old friend Michaelson. The production base of Sanmai Company in Eaton State, Roseville Special Zone, was negotiated by Lu Ming and Michaelson.
However, Li Hanchao played the ethnic card and defeated Michaelson when the Central Africans in Eaton State had an absolute majority.
However, Li Hanchao did not adopt the radical policies he proposed during the campaign towards the Roswell District, such as canceling the dirty deals between Michaelson and the big capitalists, but instead maintained the status quo.
Li Yuande, the autonomous chairman of the New Ji Province, implicitly advocates the idea of advocating power and supports the use of the armed forces of the Principality of Montenegro to stabilize the situation in all directions. It was Li Yuande who first proposed to send troops to Zhenjiang to quell the rebellion.
Finally, Zhenjiang Province became part of the Principality of Montenegro.
Thus, the East China Sea region, six traditional Western states, two traditional Central Asian states, one Central Asian autonomous province, and the Principality of Montenegro, a total of eleven members, formed the East China Sea Economic Alliance.
Now, the leaders are discussing the matter of the Kingdom of Sonia conducting cruel gas bomb experiments and attempting to launch a biological war.
This issue of moral high ground was discussed by the Governor of Leona, Hamilton, the mortal enemy of Prince Black Mountain in the alliance, who also spoke out to condemn this behavior and agreed with the alliance to issue a statement demanding that the Kingdom of Sonia stop all biological and chemical weapons experiments and destroy all existing biological and chemical weapons.
However, Hamilton expressed opposition to Innisfree Governor Smith's proposal to impose economic sanctions on the Kingdom of Sonya.
His reason was that, firstly, the Eastern Alliance economic zone needed the market of the Kingdom of Sonia. If the Principality of Montenegro, where most of the country was in poverty, was not included, the Eastern Alliance would only have a population of about 100 million. Using an economy of 100 million people to impose economic sanctions on a country of 300 million people was itself somewhat unrealistic and would only harm the interests of the alliance.
Secondly, King Henry II of the Kingdom of Sonya is one of the legitimate heirs to the emperor of the empire. It would be better to resolve this matter within the framework of the empire, rather than tying the Eastern Economic Union, which has always strictly maintained neutrality, to the chariot of certain people. Once the neutral region has a position, it may be affected by the expansion of the war in the future.
Smith's statement was not agreed by most leaders.
However, alliance matters are approved unanimously, that is, if one member votes against it, the matter will be rejected.
It may seem unreasonable and even make it impossible for the alliance to accomplish many things, not to mention efficiency. However, this can take care of the interests of every member and will not sacrifice the minority members for the sake of the majority. This is an extension of the East China Sea humanistic concept.
…
Across the tree-lined avenue of Windsor College, Lu Ming was sitting in a supercar with an extremely exaggerated shape.
Although he was attending a high-level meeting as the head of the Principality of Montenegro, for Lu Ming it was a leisure trip. After being on edge for more than a year, he could finally relax a little these days.
There is nothing serious going on anywhere, so just take some time to deal with it.
Even I, who was in the Western Region, that is, Bit, have now resigned and disappeared with several of my "partners". It can be said that I ran away because I was worried about being made a scapegoat.
Now, the only person in Sonia Group who wants to contact me as Bit is Candice. She and I have already agreed on a secret method of contact, but it is not a face-to-face meeting. We can just agree on a meeting time and place through a secret email address.
Stretching, Lu Ming felt extremely comfortable all over. The deep sleep last night made him refreshed and he felt like he had endless energy.
Although I had been in meetings all day, I didn't feel tired at all.
Thinking about Bessie's birthday, he was basically fooling her. And since today was the weekend, he drove here.
Wearing sunglasses and a hat, no one will recognize me.
Lu Ming looked in the direction of the college and smiled. Two figures walked out from the campus. The tall figure was naturally Hongying who was looking for someone, and the one walking next to Hongying was Bisi.
Suddenly Lu Ming was startled, but he walked closer and saw Biss wearing a sexy chiffon miniskirt, revealing a pair of slender white legs. Her crystal high heels had translucent little feet painted cute pink. Her blonde hair fell like a waterfall, and her long brown eyelashes were highlighted and shiny. The perfect combination of hazy sexiness and youthful cuteness was the unique charm of Western beauties, and Biss was a super beautiful girl among all the beautiful girls.
Accustomed to seeing Bisi in various school uniforms and children's clothes, Lu Ming couldn't accept Bisi's current outfit for a moment. He sighed softly. Time passed so quickly. In a few years, wouldn't he be thirty years old
"Uncle, do you have time today?" Bisi's face was full of joy, as if she had no resentment at all because her uncle promised to celebrate her birthday but did not do it.
Lu Ming nodded: "Your sister Hongying told you that she will celebrate your birthday today. Where do you want to eat?"
Bisi giggled: "Then uncle, should I be the one making the decision?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Yes, you decide. You can eat whatever you want."
"Then uncle, please accompany me to Honggufang!" Bisi said, looking at Lu Ming's expression carefully.
Lu Ming has never been to Honggufang, but he has heard of it. It is located in the southern area of Donghai and is a bar street that has emerged in recent years.
The horrific war in the outside world seems to have given rise to a drunken and dreamy youth culture in the East China Sea. Unlike traditional nightclubs, the Honggufang area is the world of young people, singing karaoke, dancing, and going to bars. Of course, the so-called karaoke is just an elementary mode of karaoke, which requires the accompaniment track to be adjusted to the song to be sung. There are also luxury clubs with band accompaniment.
"Uncle, my friends all went today to celebrate Irene's birthday. They used to go there often, but I have never been there even once." Bisi's pitiful look made Lu Ming seem to see that lonely little girl. In fact, she has always been lonely since she was a child, and this has never changed.
In fact, Bisi is very self-disciplined. Although she is very curious, and for girls of her age, if they are a playful group, they are afraid of being laughed at if they don’t dare to go to Honggufang. But she has never gone there under the instigation of her friends, even to celebrate her friend’s birthday.
"None of your friends are from Windsor College, right?" Lu Ming sighed softly. How could the female students here go to the bar in groups
However, it's not Bisi's fault.
Not to mention myself, Pamela is very busy, and I'm afraid that apart from giving her money, I have very little time to meet her.
So no matter what kind of friends Bis makes, it’s actually not her problem.
And basically, Bis's friends are okay. When she was a child, she was like Kim Mi-yeon. She did like to play, but she wasn't a bad girl.
Maybe she is too lonely, so she likes to make friends with those who like to play around.
Bisi hung her head, not daring to speak.
"Get in the car, just this once, but don't tell the mayor..." Lu Ming coughed.
Biss immediately smiled happily, "Yeah, I know!" She ran to the other side of the sports car, got in, and happily fastened her seat belt.
Red Eagle went to the sports car at the back.
Soon, the two sports cars started and, after leaving the College Road, began to speed away.
