Chapter 371 Eat a bite first to calm down
But Thomas also knew that this was not a solution.
With the intelligence capabilities of Sapiens, it is estimated that Tokyo and Yoshida Biological Laboratories will be found soon.
What's more, there are many pawns of the Sapiens company hidden in the American intelligence agencies, and Thomas knows that it is useless to conceal it.
The best way to deal with this now is for everyone to sit down and have an open and frank conversation.
Thomas quickly called the Pentagon and asked Edward, the Pentagon's staff officer, to communicate with the Sapiens company on his behalf.
At this time, the lights in the Pentagon were on.
After receiving Thomas' instructions, the general manager Mark William quickly called his staff officer Edward to his office.
"The matter has been clarified."
Redding Fan, who came with him, asked curiously, "Who did it?"
Mark William looked helpless: "It was an accident..."
Then he gave a brief explanation.
After hearing the whole story, Edward and Redding Fan looked at each other.
Especially Edward, who received the task, had a look of confusion and embarrassment on his face. It was obvious that he knew that this matter was not easy to handle.
Edward thought for a while and reminded with a serious expression: "The Sapiens Company may not believe our explanation. We must be prepared for any eventuality."
Mark William knew the difficulty: "Try to explain as much as you can! You can even invite them to form a joint investigation team and go to Tokyo to verify the relevant intelligence."
“I need more authorization.”
Mark William rubbed his forehead: "Okay, but our bottom line is to maintain the status quo."
Edward nodded carefully: "I will communicate with the Homo sapiens as soon as possible."
But at this moment.
Redding Fan's cell phone rang. He saw that the number was an emergency number, so he quickly answered the call. After a few words of conversation, his face changed instantly.
After hanging up the phone, Redding Fan stopped Edward who was about to leave and said, "Don't leave yet. The situation has changed."
"What happened again?" Edward became even more worried.
"The Pacific convoy of Homo sapiens forcibly landed on the Latak Islands, the Caroline Islands, the Guano Islands, the East Irian Islands, and the Gwadar Islands, and deployed some launch vehicles."
Mark William immediately yelled, "Fuck! What do they want to do?"
Recently, the Pentagon has attached great importance to these small Pacific island countries, hoping that these small island countries can join America to stabilize the island chain defense line in the Western Pacific.
Especially for the Latak Islands and the Western Caroline Islands, whose security treaties are about to expire, Edward personally visited them and promised more than one billion US dollars in economic aid.
However, they did not expect that the Sapiens Company would go through all the trouble and force its way into these small islands with “poverty alleviation”.
Now they were caught off guard.
Edward looked at the sand table of the Asia-Pacific region, his face darkening. "Not good! Sapiens is obviously taking advantage of this situation, what a bunch of bastards!"
Now, no matter how the Tokyo fungus incident is resolved, Sapiens Corporation will not spit out the meat it has eaten. As long as the other party deploys a launch vehicle or base and establishes a full-power branch, it will be basically difficult to drive out the power of Sapiens Corporation through ordinary means.
Mark William made a prompt decision: "Immediately dispatch the Eighth Fleet and the Seventh Fleet to prepare to protect the remaining island countries. Also dispatch troops from the Kangaroo Country and New Zealand."
The so-called Eighth Fleet is a new organization established by the US military some time ago. Its equipment are old aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines that were previously sealed, and it is mainly stationed in Oceania.
Obviously, this time, the Sapiens Company's exploitation of the issue has triggered the US military's defense bottom line.
The Latak Islands, Western Caroline Islands, Eastern Caroline Islands, East Irian Islands, Gwadar Islands, and Guano Islands, which are now being forcibly "poverty-alleviated" by the Sapiens Company, have directly torn apart the two island chains of the US military.
…
There is a special hotline office inside the Pentagon.
At this time, Edward had already dialed the hotline of the external security division of the Sapiens Company. The person on the other end was Ovi, the deputy director of the external security division of the Sapiens Company.
A phone call.
Ao Wei on the other side immediately spoke out: "Your behavior has seriously threatened the safety of our company. I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself."
Fuck it! Edward cursed Ovi in his heart for being the first to complain. He couldn't be soft at this time and directly refuted:
"I should ask your company about this. The Latak Islands and the Western Caroline Islands are our special partners. Your current actions are tantamount to declaring war!"
Ao Wei laughed wildly: "Haha... You were the ones who poisoned my company first, and now you have the nerve to blame us? If you want to fight, then stop talking nonsense and just fight it out!"
"We have never done this before. The Tokyo fungus was an accident. I hope you won't make a fuss about it."
"Haha... accident? You Americans have so many accidents. Unless you withdraw from Japan and hand it over to our company for a thorough search, I won't believe it."
Edward suppressed his anger and said, "This is an accident! I can agree to form a joint investigation team, but I can never abandon my allies."
"You said that Japan is your ally, so do you have to bear joint liability? This matter is not over yet. You and Japan must compensate our company for any losses that Tokyo Fungus may have caused to our company."
"you……"
The conversation between the two sides was almost entirely about accusations and threats against each other.
We chatted for more than half an hour, but ended up parting on bad terms.
After all, the conditions between the two sides are too different.
Of course, Edward himself knew very well that if America really wanted to fight with the Sapiens company, there would be a high probability that they would perish together.
Therefore, both sides are just talking nonsense and do not really want to destroy each other.
The only outcome of the talks was that both sides agreed to set up a joint investigation team to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the Tokyo fungus.
As for the confrontation on the front line, it can only continue to be a stalemate.
The Homo Sapiens Company will not spit out the meat it has eaten, and America has quickly established temporary military bases in the remaining island nations to prevent the Homo Sapiens Company from going there to "help alleviate poverty" again.
In this crisis.
Sapiens Company simply turned the tables, disguised itself as a victim, and then "angrily" sent warmth to a number of Pacific island countries, pushing the front line to the central Pacific.
The excuse has been found, which is to use the excuse of misjudging the situation. When the time comes, just learn from the Japanese and bow to apologize. Wu Wei has even specially recruited a dozen Japanese employees and asked them to bow sincerely and apologize to the world.
As for the Pacific island countries that are "protected" by Sapiens, the local residents will be grateful for the assistance of Sapiens and will actively beg the company to stay.
There is no reason for Homo sapiens to spit out the meat it has eaten.
The next day at noon.
After discussing for most of the night, the joint investigation team finally came up with a clear framework.
Not only will America and Sapiens Company send professionals to Tokyo to conduct a comprehensive investigation, several other major powers are also very worried at this time, so they forcibly insert some personnel into the investigation team.
There is also chaos in Tokyo right now.
The chain reaction caused by this fungal incident almost scared the whole world, and the pressure naturally came to Japan.
In order to give an explanation to the Sapiens company, Japan will definitely have to pay a heavy price.
The arrival of the investigation team does not mean that the matter will be resolved quickly.
Especially the members of the Sapiens Company investigation team who already knew the truth, they would naturally not let the heat of this matter die down. On the contrary, they would take the opportunity to make a big profit from America.
In the dark night.
Members of the investigation teams from all parties arrived in Tokyo with their equipment and prepared to conduct testing and analysis overnight.
