After adjusting his attitude, Connor quickly demonstrated his interpersonal skills.
He managed to keep the atmosphere on site very organized. Although there were many commanders from various fleets, no one felt slighted by him.
Zhang Tianyuan also took the opportunity to reveal some information to him.
However, Connor didn't seem too happy after hearing this:
"... Do you plan to visit California next?"
Connor was more than just unhappy.
I was absolutely startled.
New York is one thing, but why go to California too?!
Zhang Tianyuan laughed and said, " The Joint Fleet is just our current identity. In fact, apart from that identity, we are all members of the Mutual Aid Society."
" Mutual Aid Society?" Connor chewed on the word.
Zhang Tianyuan narrowed his eyes. "Yes, you should have heard of this term. We contacted Mr. Meng not long ago."
boom!
Connor shuddered, instantly recalling the intelligence reports his agents had sent him, which mentioned this transdimensional organization.
He should have connected all of this much earlier!
Those intelligence agents must have witnessed the Spacetime Tunnel firsthand with Meng Anping, which is why they believed it so readily. That's why they sent back such absurd intelligence and used every means possible to ensure its authenticity...
"Our Mutual Aid Society on the principle of mutual assistance and concerted efforts across various parallel universes. To date, we have already helped or are currently helping eight different universes."
Zhang Tianyuan gave Connor a number that shocked him.
"Eight parallel universes? You mean eight parallel universes like Earth?"
Having four parallel universes is one thing, but actually there are eight, no, if you include them, it's nine...
Zhang Tianyuan nodded. "That's right. We value life, so we try our best to help the local area overcome disasters whenever we arrive in a new timeline."
"We have saved tens of millions of humans from the threat of apocalyptic Mutavore, repelled terrifying behemoths invading Earth, saved billions of lives during extreme cold storms, and helped barren timelines find a future home..." Xxs-2
"To date, we have been bringing hope of life to many places and many people."
Connor
He listened intently, and although he didn't understand the details, he could still imagine the meaning from just the general idea.
Moreover, this is important intelligence.
Connor tried to take notes, then asked, "Does the Chairman mean that you're here to help us too?"
He could hardly believe it.
However, Zhang Tianyuan affirmed his statement. "We came to this time and space naturally wanting to offer you some assistance, but this requires a detailed understanding of your world."
"That's why we need to make a friendly visit to you. And next, we're not only going to California, but also to other countries, to conduct on-site investigations in various places."
Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
Indeed, he doesn't intend to limit this friendly visit to North America; other powers shouldn't be left out either.
I didn't say anything before, just for the sake of Chairman Meng Anping.
Otherwise, he would be under a lot of pressure talking nonsense to the leaders of two major forces all by himself.
As for why Joint Fleet was formed for a friendly visit...
Nonsense, don't you even know what kind of world this is?
A world where people just start growing mushrooms at the drop of a hat.
Previously, regardless of which faction discovered their drones or other unidentified targets, they would simply destroy them without ever considering issuing a warning.
You can tell the atmosphere from this.
In this kind of world, only might makes right!
Mutual Aid Society don't show their strength, then all sorts of things will continue to be a source of disputes.
This Joint Fleet will spread the Mutual Aid Society's ideals throughout time and space as they travel on their friendly visit itinerary.
"Mr. Chairman, may I ask what the requirements are for joining the Mutual Aid Society?"
Connor had already put the trip to California aside; joining a trans-temporal organization was far more interesting to him.
If he can achieve this, it will truly be unprecedented and unparalleled.
"Actually, the conditions are very simple: as long as a country loves peace, loves its people, and is responsible and capable, we welcome it wholeheartedly."
Connor raised an eyebrow and immediately said, "I think that's exactly what our country is like!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Connor." President Zhang chuckled, seemingly not understanding Connor's implied meaning.
Although the Mutual Aid Society has joined
The entry barrier is low, but there's no need to recruit another batch of member countries that only know how to grow mushrooms among themselves. There are already plenty of people at headquarters and in various branches who know how to grow mushrooms.
This can be proven by the Precursors of Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Connor wanted to bring it up again, but was quickly drawn to the commotion elsewhere.
On the deck, a soldier wearing an exoskeleton was performing.
The performance involved carrying an airplane by hand.
Of course, it's not like lifting a tripod to lift an airplane.
They simply grabbed the landing gear, lifted the plane by one corner, and then pulled it forward.
But that's already amazing enough.
Many people were applauding.
Lewis's mouth was slightly agape, and his swaying hairstyle perfectly conveyed his inner turmoil.
If Zhang Tianyuan remembered correctly, those should be soldiers from the "2012" timeline. He didn't expect that they would actually assign the mechanical exoskeletons imported from the Wandering Spacetime to the Navy.
Connor also cast an inquiring glance his way.
Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said, "The exported goods from a certain parallel universe have proven very effective, whether used for engineering or military purposes."
Although it may seem inconspicuous at first glance, this is an export project that can rival dried earthworms for the highest revenue in the Wandering Spacetime.
If earthworms weren't produced in such large quantities every now and then, they would have been left behind by exoskeleton manufacturers long ago.
To be honest, exoskeletons are not cheap, whether for military or civilian use, and production capacity is limited. Wandering Spacetime has to prioritize its own needs, so the upper limit is not high.
Connor stared dreamily at the soldiers who, after donning their exoskeletons, were demonstrating various projects on the deck like mini-Superman, his gaze gradually filling with longing for a parallel universe.
However, by the time he came to his senses again and wanted to ask about the membership requirements, Zhang Tianyuan was no longer by his side.
He looked around but couldn't find anyone, so he finally went back to Lewis's side and woke him up, who was still swaying in the wind. "What happened?"
"What's wrong?" The old gentleman Lewis pressed down on his hair.
Why is the port moving so slowly?
"It's been almost half a day since I issued the order, and it's already getting dark, yet the port hasn't even prepared any berths. This is really not in accordance with the etiquette for receiving guests!"
