Why it never ends

Chapter 59
Qianye raised her eyebrows slightly, calmly withdrew her hands and sat back in her seat.

Robert immediately put on his glasses.

On the topic of the press conference, Robert began to talk endlessly. While listening, Chiba flipped through the prepared speech draft handed over to him,
Chiba is very clear about the significance of this press conference - if the base insists on not handing over people, then this press conference will be used to stir up fire; if the base has handed over people, then this press conference will be used to subsidize the humanitarian actions of the coalition government .

Suddenly, her eyes moved.

"Wait," Qianye placed the speech in front of several officials, "Please explain, what does it mean—'We believe that the same luck can also befall more children'?"

The person opposite rubbed his nose lightly.

"Well, it's a public desire," Robert said calmly. "I don't mean to offend, but most of the AHgAs code of conduct is too cruel."

"Like?"

"For example, forcing the mercury needle to leave the habitable place to fight against the chelate in the wasteland."

Chiba shrunk her neck and squeezed out a double chin, "Do you know where the newbies of the mercury needle are found?"

"It's not important." Robert replied flatly, "The important thing is that the mercury needle is also a human being and should be protected and cherished. The dangers in the wilderness are far greater than the habitable places. The difficulty and price of protection are extremely high. However, each salvage operation can only be exchanged for less than 200 reserve soldiers-the third district has a vast territory, but so far there are only more than [-] active mercury needles, is this reasonable?"

"That's reasonable," Chiba replied, "The number of mercury needles distributed in each district is closely related to the local outbreaks of chelation disease. The places with the most frequent outbreaks of chelation disease have more mercury needles. In addition to the near The two chelation tides of Askia and Hekla in the past few years, where are there other large-scale outbreaks of chelation diseases?"

"That's right, what I'm talking about is Askia and Hekla," Robert retorted, "They have sounded the alarm for the rise of chelation disease, although the evil wind has not yet blown into the habitable land, But it's not far away - St. Anne's Abbey is a bloody example. The matter is related to the safety of the entire Third District, but...AHgAs really deserves our trust?"

"Why not?"

"Until now, you have been unwilling to share your core technology." Robert said slowly, "The coalition government cannot completely entrust such an important matter of security to a foreign organization, and it will be sooner or later for us to form a mercury needle team of our own." You don't have to make such a fuss about it."

"Then, let's talk about Mr. Secretary-General, AHgAs has in-depth cooperation with District 14, District [-], District [-], District [-], and District No.[-]—that is, what you mentioned, sharing Core technology, however, the mother city of the third district has not been opened to us so far. The sincerity of cooperation, Mr. Secretary-General, do you think it is possible that this thing needs to be displayed jointly by both parties, rather than unilaterally? "

Robert was unmoved, "You made an appointment for an operation after you came back from the fifth district, didn't you?"

"Correct."

"The doctors and equipment for the surgery were all obtained from the mother city in the third district—is this considered sincerity?"

The confronting people fell silent again.

The sudden silence during the dinner made Robert feel that she probably stabbed Chiba's weakness. However, Chiba folded her hands behind her head, the corners of her mouth sank slightly, and she looked at Robert, as if thinking about something.

This sight pleased Robert a little.

"I would venture to ask..." Qianye suddenly said, "Do you not even know the technology involved in that operation?"

"I don't need to know these details." Robert's expression was slightly gloomy, "Unfortunately, Ms. Chiba, it seems that we can't convince each other."

Chiba has already understood, but Robert obviously doesn't know that the technology he mentioned just now - the bionic technology, was shared with the fourth district by AHgAs first, and signed the "Katra Mutual Assistance Agreement" with the fourth district in the third district 'After that, it was conditionally shared from the fourth district to the core city of the third district.

It is prescribed for use only in the treatment of mercury needles injured in chelation events and requires approval from the local AHgAs headquarters.

"Indeed," Chiba propped her chin with one hand, "Excuse me for asking another question, I'm really curious..."

"Ok?"

"You are only the mayor of Tanyi City, but when it comes to chelation disease, you seem to consider it from the standpoint of the entire third district. Is this due to your personal sense of responsibility, or..."

"I have nothing to say." Robert replied lightly.

"Then from another perspective, even if everything is as you said," Qianye asked immediately, "From now on, we will follow the humanitarian spirit of the third district, and abandon all the wilderness outside the livable area, and only focus on the livable place Security in the ground—how to solve the problem of accepting mercury needles?

"After all, most of our recruits are found from the wasteland. Even if you dig out all the recruits from the entire reserve base, the number of mercury needles in the entire third district will not reach 300."

"There are many ways," Robert said with a businesslike smile on his face, "for example, recruiting mercury needles aged 25 and above in other thirteen regions—as long as we offer high enough conditions."

"Heh... this is indeed a good method." Chiba nodded in agreement, "I will almost think about retirement in five years, and when the time comes, can I also come to talk to Mr. Secretary-General? ?”

Robert was slightly surprised for a moment, and soon returned to normal, "Of course. We welcome senior people like you very, very much."

"Then what conditions did you set for Avinash? Maybe I can use his standards as a reference."

For a moment, except for Robert, the faces of the others were slightly confused.

Avinash...

Sounds like a District No. 11 name.

Robert's face returned to his usual indifference, "Let's talk about it after your Excellency is 25 years old. It's too early to talk about it now."

"Okay," Qianye stood up, and pulled the chair behind him, "Then I wish your career can last until the day I retire. Do you have anything else to say?"

The others all looked at Robert without saying a word.

Robert looked up at Chiba.

"There is nothing else, Ms. Qianye," the old man said with a smile on his face, "I also wish you a safe survival until that day, and I will definitely leave you with the most lucrative offer."

Chiba pursed her lips, and laughed out loud like a sigh.

"Please remember what you just said." She looked at Robert, "This is the 'reason'."
