Chapter 310: The Delegates From Dongcheng (2)

"Ms. Wang, I've been informed by Mr. Zhang about your arrival today. How can I help you?" Jason Deng approached Wang Yufei with the attitude of a president. He knew that their discussion right now was going to determine the relationship between Marianna and Dongcheng.

But again, he was surprised that Dongcheng would try to use Wang Yufei as a chip in this discussion. This shows him how weak the Dongcheng government is right now. As the most significant island surrounding this sea, Dongcheng's forces shouldn't be as spineless as this.

Unfortunately, it was dragged down by an incompetent government.

Taking this as a lesson, Jason Deng felt that Marianna's situation was much better compared to them. At the very least, it had the support from Zhang Qin Feng, who come from Dongcheng.

Without this person pulling the string here, perhaps Marianna would have a similar ending just like New Panem right now. Of course, this doesn't mean that Marianna is doing well.

If he's unable to perform as Zhang Qin Feng wanted, he would be disqualified by the former with a flick of his finger.

"Good morning, President Jason. Thank you for having me today." Wang Yufei replied to Jason Deng's gesture and shook his hand. It seems that she has been briefed by the government about what they wanted to get from Marianna's Government before she came.

"Shall we grab a seat in the office? I hope you won't mind that my assistant will be coming in to write down our conversation," said Jason Deng.

"Of course. You first, Mr. President." Wang Yufei does sound professional from her first meeting as a delegate, and it doesn't seem that this was her first time at all.

The three of them moved to a table and started the meeting.

"Ms. Wang, please go ahead with what the Dongcheng is looking for, and I'll consider what we can discuss. This would save most of our time instead of guessing each other's intention." Jason Deng said, and he looked like he had some reservation about this.

"Since Mr. President said so, this delegate won't be too reserved in her words. Actually, the country sent me here as a representative because we're trying to build an alliance between a few countries. I wonder if Mr. President has thought about this before?" Wang Yufei's approach even surprised Zhang Qin Feng, who was seated in between them.

He had no idea that Wang Yufei was capable of such a direct speech, based on how she behaves all the time.

Furthermore, it seems that Dongcheng's appetite is not too small. Building an alliance was beneficial to the few countries that were a part of it, but the one they're talking about here was excluding the four big superpowers.

"Ms. Wang… It seems that Dongcheng is quite ambitious. Can I ask who would be the leader of the alliance if we really go along with the plan?" Jason Deng smiled, and he looked like a sly, smiling tiger that's been waiting for the opportunity to attack.

"That will be up to the leader of alliance to decide. Dongcheng is willing to give up the opportunity to be elected until all participating countries are selected as the alliance leader at least once." Wang Yufei's second bomb came like a shock to Jason Deng and Zhang Qin Feng's ears.

This sounded like a complete subordination of the country for the same protection. If what Wang Yufei spoke here was heard by Jason Deng alone, without Zhang Qin Feng, she might have been kicked out of the presidential palace without a second thought.

"Ms. Wang, forgive me, but I'm puzzled by your country's decision. Dongcheng is not a tiny island and neither a weak nation. Why would it make such an irrational decision?" Jason Deng asked. Even if Zhang Qin Feng would reprimand him for doing what he wasn't told, he wished to know.

Because knowing it would allow him to escape from repeating the same mistake as Dongcheng did.

"Our country might look strong, but we're just an empty shell. The government was already at its last straw twenty years ago. If this continued for a little longer… I'm afraid Dongcheng would bankrupt overnight and get taken over by those people from the Pacific and Democratic Union." Wang Yufei's explanation is direct and precise, without a hint of forgery in her words.

This could only mean one thing.

What she was saying now was the truth.

"Wait." Zhang Qin Feng couldn't hold himself from interrupting their discussion. In his opinion, this had gone past what he had assumed.

"Yufei, be honest with me… What is Dongcheng's current situation? From who did you hear about all this?" Zhang Qin Feng questioned Wang Yufei.

"Grandfather was invited back to the council not long after you were reported to be dead. A week after that, he came back devastated, saying that Dongcheng was finished." Wang Yufei sourly smiled as she recalled the memory of what happened that day.

It seems that everything started to click together and revealed an accurate picture of what was happening to the country. If this incident really happened twenty years ago, it explained why the government was losing its power.

"Does that means…" Zhang Qin Feng's words stopped in between as he got Stein to quickly search for all possible news related to Dongcheng's current financial capability. After multiple reports were found, it was then used to link the financial institution, national funds, etc.

The result turned out to be a shocking answer to Zhang Qin Feng when he found out that almost all Wang Yufei's word was right on the point.

Dongcheng Government is indeed weak. And the reason they're this soft is that it was a beautifully orchestrated show made by the Pacific and Democratic Union from behind the shadows.

In fact, the nation has been on the verge of collapsing due to the involvement of the two unions. It was a repeat of the situation with New Panem. But this time, on a larger scale.

And their intention is obvious.

Like how the Oceana Alliance and Continent of Southern States are fighting for the right to control the eastern sea, the Pacific and Democratic Union is increasing their influence in the east!
