Two months later, one fine morning, most of the country received such a message.
"The Martian fleet begins to move towards the Earth."
This news is like a handful of ice and snow poured on the fire, severely suppressing the world situation that is about to change. Even the most confident guy has to show worry, otherwise he will be the chicken that ran into the cranes.
The heads of world powers held an urgent dialogue through the newly formed Crisis Response Alliance call mechanism. Scientists from most countries agreed that at the current speed of this fleet, it would take at least 50 days to sail from Mars to Earth and arrive there. There is still some time to respond.
With such a conclusion, all heads of state who knew the news began to become nervous. It seemed very urgent to prepare within fifty days. And some of them don't want to make any preparations. They have lost confidence and just want to go crazy in the end.
Just as countries such as China, the United States, Russia, Brazil, and the European Union gathered in Beijing again for the second emergency meeting of the Crisis Response Alliance, South Africa braved the world's disapproval and used a tactical nuclear missile in Angola. This launch caused Angola's southern military The cluster suffered a devastating blow and subsequently lost most of its control over the three southern provinces.
At this time, the Second Indian Ocean Fleet, which is heading to Africa for tactical support, is still on the way. It may take several weeks before they arrive off the coast of Mozambique. On the one hand, the imperial government must host the meetings of the Crisis Alliance, and on the other hand, it must counterattack South Africa.
The United States is vague on this issue. They refuse to admit that tactical nuclear bombs are American goods, and they even shamelessly said that although the United States has an aid plan for South Africa, South Africa does not currently buy the United States on all issues.
Maybe what the Americans said has some truth to it. Once the wolf is released, it will not calm down until it is full. Even the people who have fed it cannot stop it. However, the United States' influence in South Africa is obviously much greater than the empire, and doing nothing is unjustifiable.
Affected by this factor, the meetings of the Crisis Alliance in the past few days did not go smoothly, and the United States played a very good role as a troublemaker. So from the fifth day. Some of the contracting states of the Crisis Alliance began to have private contacts, and the die-hard vassal states headed by Goryeo and Annan were active everywhere. Apparently under the instructions of the empire, they had long-term secret discussions with Russia, Brazil, and the European Union.
Under such circumstances, the United States is panicking. If it is abandoned by most countries, it will not be able to reach any agreement with aliens alone. The purpose of the aliens is still unclear. If they hope to support a puppet regime on Earth, the United States obviously has hope, but they are only here for sublimation. That would be very detrimental to the United States.
Of course, everyone has not considered the last situation. If aliens intend to destroy earth civilization, then the role of the Han Empire will be unparalleled. Because only he has the strongest secret base in the world. Now the British have begun to take the medicine of regret. They urgently dispatched dozens of Panamanian ships and began to transport the collections of the British Museum to the Tibetan area of ??the empire.
At this time, the French have completed the transportation, and all the treasures and valuable artworks from the Louvre and Paris Museum have entered the Tibetan base. According to the French president and cabinet members and more than a dozen French generals who have been there, the base is located in the heart of a thick mountain. It is really the limit of human engineering. Only the empire with cheap human resources can do such a thing. It took more than ten years to build such a final base.
In response to this situation, some people in the United States have suggested that the U.S. government move all its gold reserves to Tibet. After all, the United States is a country without history. There are basically no valuable works of art, and it can only save the hard currency gold. However, some people argue that it is safe to put artworks in Tibet, because those things cannot be liquidated, but gold can be misappropriated, just in case
Time is wasted in arguments.
There is no airtight wall in the world. The news that was originally only circulated in the political circles was quickly exposed by the media. The news that the Mars fleet was moving to the earth was exposed. Suddenly the whole world was in an uproar.
The stock market plummeted. The futures market also plummeted, but all daily necessities, food and drinking water on the market skyrocketed. Supermarket shelves are being sold out, and guys who used to buy tens of thousands of bags without frowning even get into fights over a bag of toilet paper. There have been vicious cases of robbing food and water from canteens and robbing bakery supplies.
The Doomsday Party is very popular, the Doomsday Cult is also very popular, and all kinds of chaotic thinking have emerged.
Governments of various countries have come forward to appease the people, stating that the government has made various preparations. Unless aliens want to exterminate mankind, there will be no big problems. But people who have been brainwashed by various movies over the years refuse to believe it.However, riots still occur one after another around the world.
In this extremely chaotic environment, the Han Empire has the best order. The whole country has entered military control. The army, police, military police, and crisis response forces have all taken to the streets to try their best to maintain social order and stability. The imperial government also announced that each family can purchase a certain amount of drinking water and food reserves per capita, and the government is mobilizing supplies to ensure adequate supplies.
¡°The only one who can say this now is the imperial government. With the low-priced electricity from nuclear fusion, productivity has been liberated to a certain extent, and the difficulty of material supply is at least the lowest in the world. If there is not enough fresh water, use purified water to make up for it. If there is not enough food, use the stored field dry rations. At the same time, we will severely crack down on hoarding. Once discovered, we will immediately arrest and judge, and all property will be confiscated. In short, this crisis must be passed smoothly.
Under such circumstances, the stability of several units is more outstanding. The first is naturally the Titanium Star Group, because Liu Jinpeng has already made preparations and purchased a large amount of materials in advance and put them in the warehouse. In this case, only Just distribute it based on head count. All employees of the entire group can receive 100 kilograms of food packages and 100 liters of drinking water each, all of which are free of charge.
In addition, each person can also receive twenty-five kinds of daily necessities, including sugar, salt, vinegar, sauce, toothpaste, toothbrush, toilet paper and other items in a certain amount, which are also free. This expenditure alone cost the Titanium Star Group hundreds of millions, occupying three large warehouses.
Another one that is well prepared is the Liu Group. Liu Shuquan does not have as much responsibility as Liu Jinpeng, and his stall is different from the Titanium Star Group. The method he adopted was to provide benefits to each person, including 20 kilograms of food and 30 liters of purified water, as well as a large number of priority purchase coupons, which can be used to purchase supplies at designated locations at affordable prices.
Other companies and small shops opened by Mrs. Liu¡¯s family are naturally also prepared. Even Wu Xinrui, a silly girl, got the news in advance and stocked up a batch of supplies. On the one hand, she can provide them to her employees, and on the other hand, she can also use them as relief.
After distributing the supplies, at Liu Jinpeng¡¯s request, the Titanium Star Group announced a temporary shutdown. All departments were suspended and took paid leave for a period of one month, and would restart operations at the beginning of next month. Of course, even though everyone is on vacation, there are still people on duty in rotation, to at least ensure that the phone calls can be made, lest customers think that the group has gone bankrupt.
Before the group's holiday, Liu Jinpeng personally delivered a speech to all headquarters employees, acknowledging that this was a chaotic period, but also a period full of opportunities. At the same time, he asked everyone to pay attention to safety during the vacation, not to go to hot spots, and not to participate in any illegal activities. Calmly wait for the crisis to pass. In the end, he gave a vague assurance that the future of the earth will be better, not as disgusting as some doomsday cults propagate.
After the holiday, Liu Jinpeng plans to move the whole family to Wangxing Island, at least it will be safer there. Moreover, the guest list this time was also extremely long, including not only friends, but also relatives and elders, and some senior executives of Titanium Star Group were also invited.
This time, the transport vehicle was a long-distance passenger transport model of Xiangyun Company. After applying for airspace access in advance, this large anti-gravity transport vehicle, which could carry nearly 200 passengers, flew directly to Wangxing Island.
There were not that many passengers on the plane. Yang Sen's family, young and old, Zhu Lin and his mother Zhu Huifen, a bunch of Liu Jinpeng's relatives, plus Kang Cheng, Tao Mo, Cang Qiang and Murong Lou who were not yet married, the others were basically married and started a business. , I don¡¯t have time to come here to play. Kong Shan originally wanted to come, but considering Kong Qinglin's thoughts, she went back to his hometown in the countryside with him. As for the other secretaries, Liu Jinpeng didn't bring any of them, lest his wives would be upset if they saw him.
The living area of ??Wangxing Island is not large, but there is still enough space. The main building is for Liu Jinpeng and his family, the purple building is for Yang Sen's family, the blue building is for relatives, the yellow building is for Zhu Lin and his son, and the red building is for four The executive stayed.
The facilities on the island are well maintained and have their own unique styles. They use robot maids for services. The restaurants offer a variety of food options, and there is basically nothing to fault. There are also many recreational activities, water sports are suitable for all seasons, special beaches are not far from the residential area, and you can also go hiking and see volcanic craters and hot springs. There is also a strange zoo on the island, which needs to be viewed by taking a glass tube car, which is also very unique.
Several children had a great time playing in this paradise-like place. Xiaoshuang actually became the king of children. She commanded the older children to do this and that without any objection. Even Yang Sen's eldest daughter was commanded by her. Run around. Yang Sen was worried about his eldest daughter and youngest son, and he and his two wives were watching from a distance. Zhu Lin had to be nagged by Zhu Huifen from time to time. The content was nothing more than "Look at her, then look at you" and "When will you let me go?" I¡¯ll hold my grandson in my arms.¡±
Wu Xinrui, Huo Zijia and Jiao Jiao changed into swimsuits and splashed in the sea. They are still single and their families are starting to get anxious. But now they have a broader vision?, I will definitely look down on ordinary people, and I can¡¯t put in the effort at home, so I can only worry.
Liu Jianguo and Wu Wenli were not interested in new things, so they sat on the beach chairs without changing their clothes, chatting with the Jiao family and watching their grandchildren playing around, enjoying themselves.
The four executives of the Titanium Star Group did not come to the beach today. They went on a group hike. They said they planned to see the crater, have a picnic there, and come back in the afternoon.
Liu Jinpeng asked his wives to stay with their families and children, but he himself had to pay attention to the progress of the plan. After all, this was the last step.
