"Okay, let's give it a try. How about signing a treaty if the countries return the leased land as agreed?" Zhu Erdian said.

"Of course, it's not a loss for everyone." Gu Weijun said with a smile.Now that the intention has been reached, the negotiation between the two parties has come to an end. Anyway, this matter has basically been settled, and there will not be much difference.One month later, the Saar Empire and the Gaul Republic persuaded the countries in the Western Continent and the White Eagle Country in the New World to return the leased land to the Western Special Zone as agreed. Afterwards, the two countries signed a new treaty with the Western Special Zone. Sovereignty is taken back in full.

Of course, these are all things to say later. After reaching an agreement with Zhu Erdian and Lawrence, Cao Rulin and Gu Weijun immediately went to see Zhao Shouhong.Seeing the two diplomats coming in, Zhao Shouhong asked eagerly: "How is the situation? Have you successfully recovered all leased land and extraterritorial rights?"

Chapter 9 and Three: Super Earthquake

Cao Rulin laughed and said: "As we expected before, the matter has come to pass. I only felt how happy it is to be a diplomat of a powerful country today. When I have all the trump cards in my hand, I can kill my opponent with just one card." , that feeling is more comfortable than drinking ice water during the dog days.”

"I didn't prepare ice water for you, but there are better things to eat. Someone bring some bowls of smoothies." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile.The three sat in front of the sofa, chatting about the negotiation just now while eating fruit smoothies.Gu Weijun changed his usual seriousness and told the story vividly. When he talked about the faces of Zhu Erdian and Lawrence, the three of them couldn't help laughing.

Just when Zhao Shouhong listened to the two talking about today's negotiations, if Zhu Erdian and Lawrence were left speechless, Zhou Pingtong, the commander of the Internal Guard Brigade, suddenly pushed the door open.His complexion was very bad. Looking at the three people in the room, Zhou Pingtong walked quickly to Zhao Shouhong and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, something serious happened. There was a big earthquake in Haiyuan City, Western Region Province."

"What?" Zhao Shouhong cried out in shock.The Haiyuan Earthquake is very famous in the history of Hualan.According to records, the earthquake reached 8.5 on the Richter scale, the most intense earthquake in human history. The epicenter was located between Shaomaying and Dagoumen, west of Haiyuan City.

It is said that because the government of the Republic of China ignored the rescue and the traffic there was not smooth, the earthquake caused nearly 29 deaths and 30 injuries, and the aftershocks lasted for three years.According to historical records, the Haiyuan Earthquake occurred on December 1920, 12. At that time, Zhao Shouhong was on standby, raising supplies from various sources, and even the nearby garrison entered a state of first-level combat readiness.However, the garrison guarded against it for a month, but there was no sign of the earthquake. Later, Zhao Shouhong thought it was a historical change and made the earthquake disappear.Unexpectedly, the earthquake still existed, but it was only delayed for more than half a year. Now Zhao Shouhong couldn't help wondering if the delay of the earthquake was related to the space hospital absorbing geothermal heat.

No matter what kind of doubts there are, rescue must be carried out first. He stood up and asked, "Is the news reliable? When did the earthquake occur?"

"The news is absolutely reliable. It was sent by the local garrison using military radio. It is said that the earthquake happened just an hour ago, and the local garrison reported that they also suffered heavy losses. However, the remaining troops have already invested in disaster relief work, but they are in short supply of manpower and materials, and they need government support. .” Zhou Pingtong hastily reported.

Because he paid more attention to Haiyuan before, Zhao Shouhong knew that there was a garrison battalion stationed there.When preparing for the earthquake, the battalion was transferred out of Haiyuan for a month, but they went back without any movement. Unexpectedly, the earthquake still occurred.

Zhao Shouhong said: "Immediately issue an order to deploy all the bombers and airships of the Air Force, as well as the civilian airship teams that can be collected to form the first rescue team. Let Zhang Shaozeng and his paratrooper brigade bring sufficient food and medicine, and air drop them to the disaster area in advance Rescue. Order all nearby garrisons to enter the disaster area for rescue as soon as possible, and the nearby railway troops and engineering troops will do their best to repair the road, and the road must be restored within five days."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Zhou Pingtong knew he couldn't waste time, so he turned around and left after hearing the order.

Seeing Zhao Shouhong's serious expression, Cao Rulin and Gu Weijun also knew that the situation must be very serious, they immediately got up and asked, "How can we help?"

Zhao Shouhong sighed: "I had a premonition of an earthquake, but I didn't expect it to come at this time. It's all because I let my guard down."

"What are you talking about, how can earthquakes be predicted? If every earthquake can be predicted, wouldn't you be a god?" Cao Rulin shook his head.

"Yes, sir, don't blame yourself, let's think about how to announce it to the public." Gu Weijun also suggested.

Zhao Shouhong nodded: "Your Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately held a press conference from various countries and told them the truth about the earthquake. It said that the earthquake was 8.5 on the Richter scale and the intensity was extremely high. The West Army has sent troops to rescue, regardless of the disaster area. How dangerous it is, as the people's soldiers, the West Army is not afraid of any challenge."

"Yes, we'll go right away." Cao Rulin and Gu Weijun hurriedly stood up and said goodbye.Zhao Shouhong didn't want to stay. After the two left, he immediately picked up the phone and began to deploy personnel and supplies to rescue the disaster area faster.

Standing at the airport, Zhang Shaozeng looked at the resolute faces in front of him and said, "According to the latest news, a strong earthquake has occurred in Haiyuan City, Western Region Province. The local traffic has been cut off. The affected people are waiting for us to rescue them. Everyone said What should be done."

"Don't be afraid of hardships and dangers, and guarantee to complete the task." The soldiers shouted one after another.

Zhang Shaozeng nodded with satisfaction: "Very well, the commander-in-chief has issued an order. Our airborne brigade will be the first batch of troops to enter the disaster area and go to the rescue immediately. This is the trust of the commander-in-chief in us, and it is also our display of strength. This is not a disaster relief, this is a battle, a very difficult battle. I hope that everyone can hold on to the greatest strength and fight this battle well. Now I order everyone to give up All weapons and ammunition, packed with food and medicine, and boarded the plane with me."

"Yes." The soldiers responded one after another. The well-trained paratroopers removed all light and heavy weapons and ammunition, leaving only the engineer shovel on their bodies.Then they carried the medicines and food they had prepared in advance and boarded the plane in a neat line.

In a teahouse in the capital city of Shu, all the seats were filled with people who had worked hard all day.Nowadays, the teahouse culture has undergone a qualitative change in the Western Special Zone. Teahouses, which used to represent decadence and idleness, are now a good place for people to relieve work fatigue and enhance relationships with colleagues and friends.

When the weather got hot, although the teahouse couldn't afford an air conditioner, several wall-mounted fans produced by Yazhou Electric Appliance Factory were installed.Nowadays, the standard of living of the people in the Special Economic Zone has not yet reached the level where every household can afford an air conditioner. It is very good to have an electric fan, not to mention drinking tea here to enjoy the cool without spending electricity (the Western Special Zone has realized one meter per household, so the unit Household electricity is calculated according to the flow rate.) is a very good choice.

"Old Zhang, why did you come here? We've been here for quite a while." A man in overalls walked into the teahouse, and someone immediately greeted him.The man called Lao Zhang walked over quickly. At this time, there were already three people at the table, and they were all familiar with each other.Lao Zhang was not too polite. He sat at the table and asked for a tea bowl, poured tea for himself, and said, "Old Chen, you guys are really early. The workshop I was in today produced a defective product, and the investigation turned out to be an assembly line. The production problem is still the responsibility of the inspector, so the trouble has continued until now.”

Chapter 9 and Four Enthusiastic Donations

Old Chen said: "Actually, I came here a bit late, similar to your situation. When I came, Lao Wang and Lao Liu both drank it. Now our work is too difficult, and we will not give up any defective products. When I was working in Xiakou Armory Factory, the products were almost good, who cares so much. I think the high-quality products of Xiakou Armory Factory are not even qualified products here.”

Lao Liu also replied: "In fact, this is also a good thing. If you look at the things we use now, which one is not durable? The quality of the factory's products is good, and everyone agrees. As long as the products come out, the supply is in short supply. It is said that we rolled The steel plates are all directly used by the Saar Empire to build tanks."

"Who says no, it's good for everyone to work harder." Lao Wang also said: "Last month, my brother-in-law sent a letter saying that he works in a cotton spinning factory in Nanhua City. If it can’t be sold, the boss is always worried.”

"Why don't you let him come to the special zone? The textile factory in our special zone is booming." Lao Zhang suggested.

"Of course I said it, and he promised to come as soon as possible. Tomorrow, I have to go to the immigration office to register and give him a guarantee." Old Wang said.

The four good workers were chatting, when they suddenly heard a pleasant voice: "Everyone, this is Zhongchuan Radio Station, and now we are releasing the latest news. Just two hours ago, an accident occurred in Haiyuan City, Western Region Province. An earthquake with a magnitude of 8.5. According to statistics, the local losses were heavy, and it is estimated that tens of thousands of people were killed or trapped. The SAR army rushed to the rescue as soon as possible. The government called on the general public to donate money and materials to do their part for the people in the disaster area force."

"How big is an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.5?" Because this was the first time news of an earthquake was broadcast on the radio, Lao Chen couldn't understand these technical terms, so he asked immediately.

In fact, not to mention Lao Chen, most of the people present could not understand. A person who was a teacher pushed his eyes and said, "Let me tell you, a magnitude 8.5 can be a very big earthquake. It is said that more than 7 In an earthquake of magnitude [-], the house would collapse. When our Lord General was Daotai, there was a big earthquake in northern Xinjiang, and Lord Daotai sent troops to rescue that time."

"That's right." Someone continued: "How big was the earthquake?"

"It is said that it is only level 7.5." The teacher said.

"Oh, so the earthquake coming to Haiyuan is really big, I think we also expressed how?" Lao Zhang exclaimed, and asked a few brothers.

"Yes, they are all the people of the special zone, that is brothers and sisters. The people of Haiyuan are in trouble, how can we not help?" Old Wang said with a wave of his hand: "I think we should all go and donate all the money we have. , and then see what else I can do to help. If I need manpower, I will go to Haiyuan without saying a word."

"Yes, let's go together." Lao Liu also stood up, and then Lao Zhang and Lao Chen agreed.The four of them walked out of the teahouse quickly, and walked towards the gate of the government designated by the radio station.

"Let's all go and have a look. We are all from the SAR, so we can't do nothing." Someone in the teahouse raised the question again, and the others responded one after another.Soon all the people in the teahouse left the table and ran outside in a panic, even the teacher did the same.In just a few minutes, the originally bustling teahouse was empty, and a few guys hurriedly packed their things.

The teahouse owner looked anxiously at the street and said, "You look at the store, and I will go too." As he spoke, he took out the money box for collecting bills.I wanted to grab a handful of money from inside and take it with me, but the boss gritted his teeth after thinking for a while, picked up the box and left.

"Boss, don't mind, we also want to do our part, can you let us go together." A guy stopped the boss and said.

"Yes, boss, we want to go too. I don't think there's anyone coming to this store for a while, why don't everyone go after closing the store." Another clerk suggested.

"Okay, close the store. It's closed today, let's all go and have a look." The boss greeted, and the guys quickly closed the store, and a group of people walked onto the street in a crowd, walking towards the government building amidst the crowds.

The teahouse where Lao Zhang and the other four were located was relatively close to the government building, and they were the first to come here.Seeing more than a dozen government workers setting up tables, chairs and donation boxes outside, they hurried over.

"Brother, is this a place to donate to the disaster area?" Lao Chen walked up and asked.

"Yeah, don't you think there is a banner here?" The staff pointed to the top of their heads, and there was a big "Love for the Disaster Area" hanging three meters above. can see clearly.

Old Chen said: "Great, this is my day's wages, all donated." While speaking, he took out all the money in his pocket and stuffed it into the donation box.

"And mine." Lao Zhang also donated all his money.

"And mine." Lao Wang and Lao Liu donated all their money, not to be outdone.

"I donated all of it too." A slow voice came, and it turned out to be the teacher.After donating money, the teacher asked: "My brother, what else can we do besides donating money?"

"This." The staff said: "There is no need to go to the disaster relief in person. Volunteers and garrisons from nearby counties and cities have been dispatched. It is unnecessary for us to be too far away. But I heard that many injured people in the disaster area need blood transfusions. So if you have a good physique, you can go to the hospital to donate blood. Oh yes, it is to use a needle to draw blood from your arm, and then send it to the disaster area to be used by the wounded." The staff did not understand it very well, so he had to explain vaguely, But the general meaning is clear.

"Come on, let's donate blood. With our bones, it's nothing to draw some blood." Lao Zhang said, and several other brothers responded one after another, even the teacher followed.

"Wait a minute, I'll go too." Panting, the boss ran to the donation point, opened his money box, and poured it all into the donation box.Listening to the crackling sound of coins falling to the ground, the people next to them all gasped in admiration, this is the daily turnover of a teahouse.However, the boss ignored the compliments of others. After pouring all the money into the donation box, he also rushed to the hospital with big strides. Behind him were the fellows who had donated money.

The entire capital city of Shu was boiling, and almost everyone rushed to the government building, and then many people rushed to the hospital from here.In fact, in the entire western special zone, all cities are in such a situation. People consciously donate money and materials, and treat the people in the disaster area as their relatives.

Chapter 9 and Five

The Consulate General's Mansion was not far from the government building. At this time, Zhao Shouhong was standing on the balcony on the third floor, looking at the crowd of heads not far away with a smile on his face.Jiang Fangzhen, who was on the side, asked: "Chairman, I don't understand. The people in the special zone are not rich, and the government does not lack money. Why do you want to call on everyone to donate money and materials for the disaster area?"

Zhao Shouhong shook his head and said, "You don't understand this. This earthquake is indeed a catastrophe, but as long as it is used well, it can become a sharp weapon to unite people's hearts. We do not lack money, but we lack people's hearts."
