Chapter 195 Chinese Soldiers
After saying goodbye to Elijah, Zhang Chulan happily stepped onto the beach and asked the black tube.
"Brother Hei, does that mean our mission is over? What do we do next?"
Captain Hei Guan first surveyed the port area before saying, "Our fleet will arrive in about a week. We need to clear the area around the port to ensure there is no danger."
“There are many outlaws from other countries on Nathan Island. You must be careful and not act alone. You must report your actions beforehand. Next, we will split into groups to explore the surrounding environment and make sure there are no aliens threatening us nearby.”
After speaking, under the watchful eyes of the black-clad man, everyone was divided into several groups and began to explore different places.
……
Meanwhile, the headquarters of NaDuTong in China.
Zhao Fangxu sat relaxed at the head of the conference room. The Dragon Ball that Chu Ping had brought back not long ago had been safely delivered to the national treasury, and the mission to retrieve the Dragon Ball was successfully completed!
Huang Boren looked at Zhao Fangxu, who was at the head of the table, and asked.
"Chairman Zhao, shouldn't we discuss how to find the next Dragon Ball?"
"Don't rush, there's another issue we need to discuss first." Zhao Fangxu took out a document from his file folder and handed it to the directors.
"The overseas military base on Nathan Island is planned to be completed in a year, and it will be our first overseas military base. This has great political significance."
"To ensure the smooth construction of the military base, a small force will be stationed on Nathan Island. Considering that Nathan Island is an island of superhumans, the higher authorities have decided to recruit some superhumans into the force to ensure that the army will not be disturbed by superhumans. The number of recruits will be about fifty."
The task sounded quite simple, and none of the board members reacted particularly strongly.
With so many employees across the country, it should be easy to select a hundred people from each region.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Fangxu tapped on the table.
"This time, we can't select all the candidates from among the employees of All-Tong."
Seeing the puzzled looks on the directors' faces, Zhao Fangxu asked them to look at the rest of the document. After reading it, they all understood what had happened.
Most of the various supernatural sects have connections with local officials, and most of the well-connected sects now know that the country is preparing to select the first batch of supernatural troops to be stationed on Nathan Island.
Therefore, they all used their connections, hoping to use their influence to get their disciples into the army.
Although being stationed on Nathan Island is not a good job, and the benefits provided by the government are not much for those superhumans, there are still a lot of sects that want to send people in, because this is the country's first publicly announced superhuman force!
On the surface, Na Du Tong is a courier company, and all the supernatural beings who sign contracts with Na Du Tong are nominally couriers, but they also do some supernatural-related work on the side.
But this garrison unit on Nathan Island is a legitimate military unit! There is a fundamental difference between the two.
To put it bluntly, the people working for Nadutong are all temporary workers. It's a violent organization that isn't recognized by the state, and it wouldn't be surprising if it were shut down one day.
But the extraordinary individuals in this unit are the only truly recognized violent organizations in the country. If they can secure a position within it, they might get promoted someday, and they might even have a chance to become generals!
Then they will truly enter the core of the country's power!
"At that time, the sects in various regions will report the suitable candidates to the local leaders. Our first task is to screen out the suitable people and then submit the list."
"The first mission?" Huang Boren asked curiously, Zhao Fangxu's words making him realize that they had other missions.
Zhao Fangxu pushed up his glasses and continued, "The military asked me to do them a favor. In order to prevent the emergence of an overly powerful superhuman that we cannot handle, the military wants to invite a powerful superhuman to stay with them on Nathan Island."
One of the directors raised his hand to ask a question.
"May I ask Chairman Zhao, what are the standards for a 'powerful' superhuman?"
"The military prefers candidates who possess both considerable personal ability and prestige within the supernatural community. Ideally, they would choose from among the Ten Elders. Do you have any recommendations?"
After listening to Zhao Fangxu's words, everyone lowered their heads and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, someone raised their hand and asked a question.
"What do you think of the Old Celestial Master? His abilities and prestige are absolutely unquestionable."
He had barely finished speaking when another director objected, "That's inappropriate! The Celestial Master is not only the number one person in our world of supernatural beings, but also the number one person on the global supernatural beings list. Such a person cannot just go abroad casually. What if something happens to the Celestial Master?"
Immediately afterwards, the directors began to list out one by one the famous and extraordinary people in the country, just like reciting a menu.
But none of them seemed suitable, and the board members always found reasons to object.
Looking at the directors arguing in the meeting room, Zhao Fangxu knew that these directors were not entirely opposing the candidates from an impartial standpoint.
Almost every board member has a close associate among the Outcasts, and they all openly or secretly recommend the Outcast leader they are on good terms with to be the person in charge of Nathan Island.
Zhao Fangxu sighed, and just as he was about to speak up to stop the endless arguing among the directors, there was a knock on the conference room door.
Upon opening the door, a Natotong employee was standing at the entrance.
"Chairman Zhao, Mr. Lu is here. He says he wants to see you."
A hint of doubt flashed in Zhao Fangxu's eyes.
The "Old Master Lu" mentioned by the employees refers to someone who is unique in the entire country of China, and that person is Lu Jin, one of the Ten Elders.
Why is he here?
An answer flashed through Zhao Fangxu's mind. He looked up at the employee at the door and said softly.
"Please ask Mr. Lu to go to the conference room downstairs first, I'll be there right away."
……
The meeting room downstairs.
Zhao Fangxu pushed open the door, looked at Lu Jin sitting in the conference room, and asked, feigning ignorance.
"Grandpa Lu, what brings you here? You could have just called if you needed anything. Why did you come in person?"
Lu Jin laughed twice, then, without saying anything else, spoke directly to Zhao Fangxu.
“Chairman Zhao, don’t you already know why I’m here to see you at this time? I won’t beat around the bush, just give me that position overseeing Nathan Island.”
As expected, a hint of helplessness flashed in Zhao Fangxu's eyes.
Although Zhao Fangxu had already thought of many candidates for the position of superhuman on Nathan Island, Lu Jin was not among them. In fact, none of the directors mentioned Lu Jin's name in the meeting room just now.
Everyone in the world knows that the current King Nathan's father is Li Muxuan, who escaped from the mainland.
Everyone knows about the past between Li Muxuan and Lu Jin. For the past few decades, Lu Jin has been openly and secretly seeking revenge on Li Muxuan.
Although everyone knows from Qin Le's video that Lu Jin's master Zuo Ruotong's death was not entirely Li Muxuan's fault, who can guarantee that Lu Jin has forgiven Li Muxuan?
What if Lu Jin goes to Nathan Island and immediately tries to fight Li Muxuan to the death?
This could very well lead to a diplomatic incident!
