The second stop on the Joint Fleet's visit was California! Xxs-②
The news caused a stir as soon as Connor relayed it.
After the nature of the Mutual Aid Society was clarified, the visits by the Joint Fleet became much more friendly and welcoming.
Especially after Connor's persuasive words.
The visits by the Joint Fleet seemed to have truly become a symbol of goodwill from the Mutual Aid Society, with only worthy partners being eligible for fleet visits.
The fact that the Joint Fleet chose to visit Connor's territory for both of its consecutive stops seems to indicate that his relationship with the Mutual Aid Society is unusually close...
The other factions, who had initially been waiting to see Connor suffer, were now considering whether they should proactively extend an invitation to the Mutual Aid Society.
If they won't come, can't we just invite them ourselves?
Driven by this idea, quite a few people in the know actually took action.
However, they ignored Connor and instead called Meng Anping.
Anyone in the know understands that the initial request for the Joint Fleet's visit was sent to Connor by Meng Anping.
Don't be fooled by how friendly Connor seems to Mutual Aid Society now; back then, didn't he also have Meng Anping Mutual Aid Society?
So everyone knows who is more likely to have close ties with the Mutual Aid Society.
Meanwhile, Meng Anping was also preparing to send visit requests to these forces, so the two sides bumped into each other.
In response, President Meng did not seek credit for his actions. He clearly told all parties to wait at home, Mutual Aid Society and the Joint Fleet would not remain in Connor's little bathtub forever; they would sail out sooner or later.
And you never know when you might have to leave.
Can't you see that even the New York Harbor can't find enough berths?
Are we really going to let the Joint Fleet drift at sea and wait for them to move?
The work of clearing out the New York Harbor would take at least ten days to two weeks to complete. No matter how simplified the procedure is for a cargo ship to leave the port, it cannot be as simple as starting the engine and turning the steering wheel to drive away as a car.
Therefore, Meng Anping guessed that President Zhang wouldn't be so patient as to wait at the port.
After all, he wasn't going to sleep at sea on this trip.
Meng Anping's guess was correct.
Zhang Tianyuan simply didn't have the patience to wait for a berth to become available in New York Harbor.
the next day
Early in the morning, seeing a large number of warships crowding the sea, he immediately considered leaving New York Harbor.
In any case, he has already achieved his goal this time.
The Mutual Aid Society made its debut to people all over the world.
More importantly, he immediately subdued the local bullies upon his arrival. No matter how eloquently Connor spoke or how well he described his relationship with the Mutual Aid Society, he couldn't hide the fact that he had backed down.
This is the power of thirty aircraft carrier fleets.
In fact, Zhang Tianyuan had many other ways to demonstrate the power of the Mutual Aid Society. For example, he could simply open a Spacetime Tunnel above the Planetary Engine's nozzle and connect the other end to Connor's head.
Under the surging plasma jets, Connor will surely Mutual Aid Society.
However, this method is not user-friendly and lacks interpersonal communication.
Therefore, the carrier fleet approach is still the better option.
This is the most direct demonstration of power to the world.
Even President Zhang didn't expect that this trip would yield some unexpected gains...
The small gifts that Connor ordered last night were distributed this morning.
The hastily printed brochures still held the warmth of the ink, and the various exquisite gifts shimmered with the luster of gold and silver...
Connor clearly went all out.
In addition to the small gifts given to each person, the warships also received a large amount of supplies, from the galleys to the toilets to the oil depots, and they even wanted to replace all the fuel on the planes.
Even the supply ships in the fleet were resupplyed.
It was simply impossible to refuse such hospitality.
Zhang Tianyuan didn't concern himself with these matters; they were internal affairs of the Joint Fleet, and each of them could handle them according to their own established practices.
When he reached noon, he told Connor that he wanted to leave New York Harbor.
The implication was that the guests were being seen off.
Connor stayed on his ship for one night and even gave a televised speech on it, something Zhang Tianyuan hadn't expected.
However, now that everything has come to an end, the Joint Fleet can now split up and visit the territories of various factions.
This kind of visit allows for quick communication between the two parties. With Connor setting an example, everyone knows they are here to...
xS12
What are they doing? How should we deal with them?
From this perspective, Connor deserves credit.
Therefore, Zhang Tianyuan's attitude towards him became more amiable.
Upon the departure of the Joint Fleet, Connor immediately expressed his desire for them to stay. When that failed, he quickly offered his best wishes, hoping the Joint Fleet would have a successful visit to their new region...
She had a whole repertoire of polite words, even more eloquent than last night.
But he didn't mention a word about disembarking from the ship.
Seeing Connor's feigned ignorance, Zhang Tianyuan's eyebrows twitched violently. This old guy seemed to be clinging to him... w.
As long as he's shameless enough to refuse to disembark, then this command ship won't be able to leave North America.
Otherwise, he would have to take Connor on a visit to other countries...
This is clearly illogical.
The Joint Fleet was just here for a friendly visit, why is it acting like they kidnapped Connor?
What will people in other countries think?
As for forcibly removing Connor from the ship...
It's not that it's impossible, but that would be going too far.
Given his status, it's generally impossible to do anything about Connor's shameless behavior.
Even Mutual Aid Society can't be used forcefully.
This is a political event.
Therefore, the rest of Zhang Tianyuan's conversation with Connor revolved around one central point --
Zhang Tianyuan: Disembark!
Connor: I'm not disembarking!
Disembark!
I'm not disembarking!
After an hour of fussing, Zhang Tianyuan could only rub his forehead and order the command ship to head towards California.
This can be seen as fulfilling what Connor said in his televised address last night.
Moreover, it wasn't just a simple visit by the Joint Fleet; it was the Joint Fleet using Spacetime Tunnel to transport Connor to the past for the visit.
That really made him look good.
This also fully proves that what he said in his televised address last night was true.
After all, the Mutual Aid Society used Spacetime Tunnel to take him to California; isn't that a friendly relationship?
After this round, both the public and major domestic interest groups will look at Connor in a different light.
As for the Mutual Aid Society and Zhang Tianyuan, they didn't lose anything in this matter.
Connor is willing to cooperate with the Mutual Aid Society, and his increased prestige will be helpful for future cooperation.
There's nothing wrong with the situation, it's just that people refusing to disembark seems a bit despicable.
