Shadow Empire - Chapter 951 Minister's Question 6662

"It took the Federals very little time to build these buildings, and you see, they were so far ahead of us in industry."

The secretary continued to introduce the buildings under construction to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The workers wore hard hats, tied safety ropes, and sat on steel frames to work.

Tighten the screws as thick as arms, then weld them, or perform rust-proof treatment on some parts later.

Although it is only a framework, the Minister of Foreign Affairs can already see what it will look like in the future from this framework.

Yes, they are not on the same level at all, so there is naturally no question of being ahead by much.

They are still using the most primitive methods to make steel on a small scale. When they really need steel, they either spend money to buy it from the Czech Republic.

Or you can exchange iron ore with the federals.

Most of the time they would trade iron ore to the Federals for steel because it didn't require them to pay an extra fortune.

Anyway, they don't need to pay the miners much money, the cost of human resource development is extremely low, and the only cost may be transporting the iron ore from the mine to the port.

But this problem was solved as the Czech Republic built a large number of railways.

If they can't even produce high-quality steel themselves, how can they possibly research how to use steel structures to build high-rise buildings faster?It seems like a very, very simple thing, but behind such a simple thing is a desperate gap.

In fact, when it really reaches a certain level, you can look at these things with a normal mind.

Only those workers who do heavy physical work are locals of Lapa.

The car circled around the construction site and then headed towards Lance White Manor.

On the way to the manor, the Minister of Foreign Affairs kept thinking about some issues, such as his position and what he could achieve after joining the manor.

As a member of the ruling group, his demands are actually not high.

The difference is so great that it seems a bit foolish to put forward those conditions.

If Lapa was the Czech Republic, he would still give it a try. After all, the Czech Republic had their capital, but Lapa had nothing.

After the car arrived at Lance's manor, it was quickly approved to enter. Looking at the federal soldiers with guns everywhere in the manor, his mood became both heavy and relieved.

The heavy thing is that these people can arm themselves so unscrupulously, which means that they must be related to those who support the anti-government armed forces. Maybe Lance is supporting them.

He didn't think about this aspect carefully, but he subconsciously realized it and he would go with the trend!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Minister, in order to see Lance we need to check what you have with you."

"And, you are only allowed to bring one entourage to see Mr. Lance." Before entering the elevator, a young man blocked his way.

This immediately made the Foreign Minister's secretary angry!

Why do we have to follow so many rules here, in a non-governmental organization?

He was about to speak with his face flushed when the Minister of Foreign Affairs put his hand on his shoulder. He turned around and looked at his minister in surprise, and their eyes met at that moment.

The secretary's eyes changed from anger to confusion, then to obedience, and finally all the flames were extinguished, and he maintained his previous silence.

The young man who stopped him saw that they did not refute or do anything impulsive, so he asked the two young girls to check the things they were carrying and searched them.

The moment the elevator door opened, he took a deep breath.

The entire corridor still looks like a corridor, but in his eyes, it has become a bridge to the future!He walked to the end of the room, someone opened the door for him and told him that Mr. Lance was waiting for him.

About two doors later, he saw Lance sitting in a chair.

The Foreign Minister's face was immediately filled with smiles. He took the initiative to walk over. Lance stood up and stood on the side of the table. He treated the Foreign Minister the same way as those gentlemen had treated him in the past.

After all, people will not cherish things that are too easy to get, whether it is a girl’s first laugh or the loyalty of these people.

After shaking hands, Lance invited him to sit down across the table, which was an obvious attitude that favored a more businesslike approach.

If Lance wanted to be more intimate, he could invite the Minister of Foreign Affairs to sit on the sofa, so that their conversation would be less formal and some questions that were very embarrassing or difficult to answer would not be so easy to ask.

But now things are a little too formal between them, and that makes the Foreign Minister a little worried.

He only knew the Foreign Minister's last name, Rabble.

This surname is considered to be a very prestigious surname in the entire Yalan region. Including Rapa, there are at least seven countries with the surname "Rabul", and they all belong to local wealthy and prominent families.

The same was true in Lapa, where the Labour family owned extensive farms, several mines, and some real estate in the city.

They hired a lot of workers to work for them, and they were definitely a truly prestigious family.

"Paula, you can call me Paula."

In fact, there are many middle names. The more noble a person's status is, the more he wants to express his nobility in his name. For example, if Paula introduces her full name, she will have at least a dozen middle names.

From where their family originated to what his father was most proud of when he was born, these elements will become his middle name and be added to his name.

When someone reads out his full name, you can tell what a distinguished background he has.

"Cassia said you and he are very good friends," Lance said.

Minister Rabble did not deny this, "Cassia...we are indeed very good friends. I have always hoped that he could come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help me, but he has always felt that business is the department that can change the current situation in Rapa."

"But fortunately, now strictly speaking, he has become my subordinate, and we are also very good friends."

Ambassador Cassia was previously the Deputy Minister of Commerce, and could be considered a member of the privileged class, but his position in the privileged class was not high.

The main task of the Ministry of Commerce is definitely not to develop the domestic business environment. It is impossible for them to develop it, at least there is no hope in the next fifty years.

Ambassador Cassia once hoped to change the country a little bit through free trade. Although he failed in the end, he was still appreciated by some people.

Now that he is engaged in diplomatic work, he is naturally considered a subordinate of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

After he said these words, he observed Lance's expression. In fact, his relationship with Ambassador Cassia was not as good as he wanted to express. They could only be considered friends, but not the best ones.

"Mr. Lance, I have a question. Is it really impossible for us, Lapa and the Federation, to coexist peacefully?"

This question is a bit "out of scope". If he had asked a federal senator, or the federal secretary of state, the president, or the vice president, it would at least seem more appropriate.

Lance is just a gang leader!However, Casillas also told him a lot on the phone, making him understand that Lance could play a key role.

There was no way those big shots would come and talk to a minister like him, so Lance became a necessary link for him to contact the big shots of the federation.

Lance didn't give him a perfunctory answer. He just thought for a moment and then said, "When your neighbor is only a seven-year-old child, he has a huge fortune that is very coveted."

"And you need the money right now, and you know that even if you do something to him, there won't be any bad consequences. What do you do?"

Without waiting for Minister Labour's reply, Lance expressed his thoughts, "Countries cannot use morality to constrain their behavior towards each other. The war that is currently breaking out is a good example of this."

"Between countries, there are only interests!"
