Thomas sat in the chair, seemingly both dejected and relieved.
He shrugged, looking helpless, but with a relieved smile on his face, "You guys did a great job. It seems we had no other choice but to agree to your demands."
Elder Zhou smiled and shook hands with Thomas.
Welcome to the Mutual Aid Society.
Thomas returned Elder Zhou's hug.
Zhang Tianyuan also smiled slightly and shook hands gently with Thomas.
This signal reassured Thomas.
He began to think about how he could truly bind his country to the Mutual Aid Society's cause.
"Although I agree to join the Mutual Aid Society and the Great Migration Plan, there will definitely be a lot of opposition forces in our country, and there will always be some short-sighted people who cannot see the reality."
Thomas sat down again and gave Zhang Tianyuan and Elder Zhou a detailed analysis of the situation in his country.
After Elder Zhou and the others finished listening, their expressions became quite solemn.
Thomas's situation in the country is indeed unusual.
Some interest groups have existed for decades or even centuries and are deeply entrenched.
Some families even have an even more exaggerated history than the entire country; they are members of the Plain White Banner who came from Europe before the founding of the nation.
Asking these people to abandon their family businesses, accumulated over decades or even centuries, and then run off to a parallel universe to undergo forced labor reform is utterly impossible...
Zhang Tianyuan, with his legs crossed, suddenly said, "How about we clear out a batch first?"
"Tell me exactly where their settlements are, and then we'll bomb them with bombers?"
Spacetime Tunnel combined with bombers—drop the bombs and run—makes it an invincible combination.
These words sent a chill down Thomas's spine. He quickly rejected Zhang Tianyuan's "friendly" suggestion, saying it would backfire.
Elder Zhou refined Zhang Tianyuan's suggestion, saying, "Following the old rules, we'll win over some, appease some, crack down on some, and punish some."
"That's good, let's use this method." Thomas immediately agreed with what Elder Zhou said, afraid that Zhang Tianyuan would say another word.
Zhang Tianyuan only touched on the point briefly and didn't elaborate further.
He simply said to Thomas, "That's settled then. After you return home, spread the word that you've joined the Mutual Aid Society and are asking them to relocate to a parallel universe. See what happens."
They will then inform us, allowing us to determine which entities we want to target and which we want to court.
Thomas looked embarrassed and hesitated before saying, "Can I stay here for now? I can contact people back home from here."
Zhang Tianyuan asked in confusion, "Why?"
Thomas's lips twitched.
Why?
He doesn't want his imagination to be wildly wilded after he returns to China.
If he goes back tomorrow and tells those tycoons that he wants to join the Mutual Aid Society and the Great Migration Plan, and therefore asks them to give up all their assets to join the Mutual Aid Society...
I'm afraid Zhang Tianyuan will have to buy some fruit and go to the morgue to visit him the Day After Tomorrow.
Thomas briefly expressed his concerns about his personal safety after returning to his home country.
Everyone understood immediately.
"Shall I send the message back home now?" Thomas asked tentatively.
Zhang Tianyuan nodded.
Elder Zhou added, "I think you should also hold a meeting with your allies here and inform them of this news."
In this way, it's easy to discern which side is worth courting and which side needs to be targeted.
save trouble.
Thomas agreed without hesitation, but he wanted to send the message back home first.
After leaving the meeting, he took the satellite phone from his bodyguard and dialed his deputy, Carl, directly.
Across the ocean. Valley xS12
Even though it was already night, Carl immediately answered the phone, "Sir, how is the situation?"
While making the call, Thomas had already circled the backyard several times, and finally plopped down on a chair in the school.
He gradually organized the words in his mind and soon recounted the whole story.
On the other end, Carl became increasingly alarmed as he listened.
He repeatedly turned his head to check his surroundings to ensure his safety.
Then he emphasized to Thomas, "That's impossible; they can't possibly give up their privileges and wealth."
Thomas calmly stated, "So we need to let them know that it's time for change. Their privileges are now as fragile as paper; they can only survive by giving them up."
"You know what, Carl? This is the worst-case scenario. The leader of the Mutual Aid Society is a complete hawk, and just now he suggested to me that we bomb those people with bombers!"
We absolutely cannot allow these people to substantially hinder the Mutual Aid Society's Great Migration Plan!
"That young president won't tolerate this!"
Carl was confused; he was not capable enough to handle such a matter.
So he simply asked, "When are you coming back?"
However, Thomas immediately replied to him:
"I'm not going back! At least not until the Great Migration Plan is confirmed and implemented!"
Carl:???
Back in the conference room, everything was ready for video calls with other countries.
"We have sent urgent notes to the relevant countries, indicating that it was Mr. Thomas who requested the call. You can wait a moment," said Elder Zhou.
Thomas also stated that he had asked Carl to inform other allies that they were ready to have a video call with him.
Sure enough, Elder Zhou soon received replies from various countries.
Although it was a bit strange that Thomas requested that the call be sent by Elder Zhou on his behalf.
But no one dared to refuse this request for a call.
Thomas sat down in front of the camera and soon saw Ark Alliance allies appear on the screen one after another.
He didn't say a word, he just sat quietly.
Seeing this, the others could only wait silently.
They waited until the last person entered.
Thomas finally spoke:
"Today is the first day of my visit. I have already spoken with Mr. Zhou and learned something extremely shocking."
The allies took it seriously and listened carefully to what Thomas had to say.
"Just now, Zhou told me that their country has known about the apocalypse for a long time and has been preparing for it."
Suddenly someone asked, "Are you referring to those disaster drills?"
How did they know about the apocalypse in advance?
Thomas shook his head. "More than a year ago, Zhou came into contact with an organization called the [ Parallel Spacetime Mutual Aid Society ]..."
"This organization comes from a parallel universe and can transfer people or objects to another world through Spacetime Tunnel."
Therefore, Zhou and his team devised a nationwide migration plan to move all the people and resources of the country to another parallel universe.
Thomas briefly recounted the story that Elder Zhou had just told him.
Then his allies were completely dumbfounded.
" Thomas, are you sure you're conscious?"
