1128: Chapter 1114: The Outer Dragon and Dragon Moon 1128: Chapter 1114: The Outer Dragon and Dragon Moon Outer Longzhou is one of the southernmost states of the Eastern Country, nad for its resemblance to a dragon cradling the moon.
Longyue Island, also known as Longyue City, is the state capital, the “moon” in the “dragon cradling the moon,” and also the largest naval base and shipbuilding center in the Eastern Country.
Institutions like the Church of the Lady of the Forest, of such rank, have branches across the nation (the Sixth-order peak that Lu Ping’an killed was a forr high-level mber of Changping Church), yet their core power still leans towards the central and southern regions.
Longyue Island, due to its natural subtropical climate (the superficial reason), and a certain distance from the mainland conducive to developnt (which also facilitates all kinds of over-the-line experints, the unspoken main reason), is one of the most important operational sites for Lin Nu’s Church in the south.
The ocean is a cradle of life, and the boundless sea is a blind spot in the evolution of life; God knows what sort of chaos they have created in these waters.
After all, high-level Healers, Beast Tars, and Higher order gardeners of the Life system, each more inhuman than the last.
And it is due to their accumulation in this area that they have actively or passively sought the developnt rights to the ocean world.
As is well known, not so long ago, the various states of the Eastern Country were relatively independent, sowhat reminiscent of a loose federation.
As one of the most peripheral state capitals, Lin Nu’s influence in the local area is quite formidable.
But there are so ironclad rules they cannot cross…
“….Is the acquisition for the shipyards still not going smoothly?”
“Yes, even at this ti, they still won’t sell unless we get special approval from the central level.
And our communications with the central authorities—they allow us to have shipbuilding industries in exotic realms, but the idea of having car factories and seaport bases on Earth is out of the question…”
You are already an independent power with a mariti base, with your own territory and human resources; why on Earth would you still want to build shipyards?
Are you planning to build a fleet to rebel?
Shipyards and naval dockyards are probably the industries closest to military and civilian integration.
If we really let you keep churning them out daily from this corner south of the mainland, God knows what the end result would be.
“Tsk, it really isn’t that easy…”
“Red Egret” Deer King Xi heaved a sigh.
As the local overseer and the founder of the Southern Sea Swallow School within Lin Nu Power, his influence in the area probably exceeds that of the state head by a considerable margin.
But as his power grew to a certain extent, the desire to cross boundaries in business naturally aroused vigilance.
As the helmsman, he sighed, but it didn’t really matter…
after all, he had actually “seen” all of this coming.
“…But as compensation for thwarting our acquisition of Longyue Shipyard No.3, they shouldn’t obstruct our purchasing eting this ti, right?
Even if we go a little over the line, it should be fine.”
Old fox, or Old Monster, are the nicknas most readily given to Deer King Xi by those familiar with him.
He may only be a Seventh-Order Rule Level, but he is the actual ruler of this region, which is quite remarkable.
After all, there is a ninth-order Quasi-God overseeing Longyue Island…
Although His Excellency hasn’t intervened for quite so ti, one of his disciples, an eighth-tier and another seventh-tier, actually work under Old Lu, which shows his status transcends personal tiers.
The reason?
On one hand, it’s his personal ability, and more importantly, the white cloth covering his eyes with countless red orbs on it says it all.
“This ti, I have a premonition that we should be able to obtain what we need from the purchasing eting…”
“Red Egret,” a prophetic evil bird skilled in divination and reading Qi, with no eyes, yet foretelling many calamities, is Old Lu’s nickna, but also his character.
He is a “Blind Prophet,” and possessing such a trait being able to enter seventh-tier, its rarity and usefulness perhaps even surpass an eighth-tier.
He had an especially good reputation locally because he had predicted countless coastal disasters and tsunamis…
This was a living super radar, one whose range spanned the entire expanse of the Outer Longzhou Trends.
In fact, the assault on “rcury” was also led by him, and it was also during this process that he gradually loosened the bindings on his own power and influence…
Ambition is common to all, and he didn’t necessarily want to do anything specific, but he tried to gain “the right to do whatever he wanted.”
“Are our people ready?
This ti’s procurent eting…”
At the end of the day, this was a “military procurent eting,” held after the mission to subdue rcury 42 wasn’t going smoothly.
It was a procedure where the Church of the Lady of the Forest, as the responsible party, openly “sought help” and “sought purchases” from society at large.
But so things remained under water…
“…They are ready, and the last to take their seats should be our own shell companies.
They will bring the technologies and products we ‘need’ and whitewash so of the products and technologies that were inconvenient for us to reveal before.”
“Good, although I feel a bit sorry for the genuine exhibitors, leaving it all to them would be irresponsible towards our frontline soldiers…”
The Lin Nu’s Church’s main resources were concentrated in the dical and healthcare sectors, but God knows how many shell companies they secretly controlled, how much power they wielded.
Now, it was just a matter of activating part of it as the tis and demands evolved, allowing it to “legally” enter into the parent company’s assets and procedures.
If nothing unexpected happened, the procurent eting would proceed as scheduled.
The orders on offer were quite tempting, but at most only 20% would go to other civilian exhibitors, whose offerings were chaotic and low-profit scraps.
The majority of the lucrative shares were always a matter of internal transactions from left hand to right hand.
Among them, there was a trendous demand for oceanic vehicles…
“Your Excellency, another representative from a manufacturer has co to see you…”
Hearing this, Mr.
Lu furrowed his brows.
It wasn’t that he was surprised at the swiftness of the external manufacturers.
After all, a crowd of manufacturer representatives had rushed over even before the procurent eting was publicly announced.
What annoyed him was…
“Didn’t I say there’s no need to tell about these things?
Let the external departnt handle it.
Entertain them well, and just send them away when the ti cos.”
“But this ti it’s one of our own…
uh, he just joined our Church, but he has always been a key figure of interest…”
“Who?”
“Lu Ping’an, all is well.”
——–

“Brother Lu, you ca in person without giving us a heads-up.
If the reception is not up to par, wouldn’t I be at fault (What are you doing coming here out of the blue, causing us trouble)?”
“What are you talking about, Chief Priest Lu?
You are a senior and the top person here.
Naturally, I should pay my respects to you first.
This ti I co in the capacity of a representative from the Ancient City Developnt Zone Shuttle Factory No.1, just normal business dealings, heh, perhaps we can beco quite good trading partners (I’m here to show support for this project with an order, please give a bit of face).”
“Flying Shuttle Factory 1?”
Chief Priest Lu was taken aback, then looked back.
“…It is a ‘water motorcycle factory’ transford from an ‘automobile factory,’ doesn’t sound very reliable, and isn’t within the top five on the preselection list…”
Though spoken in a whisper, Lu Ping’an heard every word clearly.
Hearing this, he laughed.
Had he not co, not to ntion competing, he wouldn’t even have had the chance to bid.
But now, it seed he could have a proper talk.
