Chapter 1365: The Southern Hemisphere in February
CE 75, end of February.
The location of the second orbital elevator that has caused a stir in human society has finally been officially confirmed.
In fact, even if the official announcement was not made publicly, most well-informed people already knew that the second orbital elevator was about to be built through the activity tracks of engineering teams mobilized from all over the world and even from the colonial satellites of the Solar Energy Construction Alliance.
Located at the southern tip of Africa, Victoria Airport, which was tightly held by the Eurasian Federation and once captured by ZAFT but was eventually recaptured, is now flooded with personnel and supplies from all over the world.
The alternation of day and night cannot make this airport any quieter. All the staff are trying their best to dispatch the materials and personnel from all over the world to the correct locations. Unfortunately, even though they are working overtime and making their best efforts to ensure the smooth start of the second orbital elevator.
However, many problems still occurred at Victoria Airport, causing the person in charge of Victoria Airport to be directly questioned by the Eurasian Federation.
At the same time, amid this busy scene, many people arrived at the city closest to Victoria Airport via roads or low-altitude routes, trying to find a way to enter Victoria Airport and find a well-paid job.
Everyone knows it.
In the Solar Energy Construction Alliance, except for the East Asian Republic and Orb, other member countries have successfully turned around and gradually got rid of the label of poverty and backwardness by relying on the huge profits brought by the giant tower that reaches the sky.
Although there is still some gap between it and the world's first-rate countries, no, it should be said that it is still some distance away from the world's second-rate countries, it has successfully advanced from a third-rate country to a third-rate country. Even with the construction of rail elevators and solar power generation systems, many member states that have obtained a lot of industrial quotas from major powers are destined to become the backbone of the world's countries if nothing unexpected happens.
Such a huge change is extremely jealous not only of the member states of the Eurasian Federation, but even the people of the Eurasian Federation who are now struggling in poverty and hunger.
"Tsk. There are too many people here lately."
Pushing open the door, Trovsky took off his raincoat, which was dripping with rain, and threw it on the hanger beside him, not caring at all that the water dripping from the raincoat quickly wet the wooden floor under his feet.
"After all, a great project destined to go down in history is about to begin. No matter who it is, everyone wants to suck a mouthful of blood from this great project to fill their stomachs."
The dim room was illuminated by the flames in the fireplace, providing light for the man sitting next to the fireplace to read a book.
"I say, Cruze. Are you just sitting here reading a book so peacefully?"
Trovsky walked towards the refrigerator, looked at Kruse, and reached into the open refrigerator to take out an unopened bottle of vodka.
"I suggest you drink less at this time."
Cruze raised his eyes and looked at the drunken information dealer who was about to open the bottle of wine and take a sip.
"How can this be possible? It's very cold outside."
"cold?"
Cruze closed the book and sneered a few times.
"If it was Siberia, it would be fine. But this is South Africa. Unlike Siberia, which is cold, it is summer in South Africa now. It is not cold at all."
Seeing that his excuse of wanting to drink was seen through by Kruze, Trovsky took a few big sips on the spot, then let out a satisfied sigh and reluctantly put the vodka in his hand back into the refrigerator.
Kruse put the book on the table and did not ask Troevsky about drinking, but waited quietly.
After closing the refrigerator, Trovsky took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the alcohol smell remaining in the air into his lungs. Then, he let out a long sigh and spoke.
"It's very chaotic out there right now. Not only are there civilians looking for opportunities here, but even mercenaries who are greedy for money are here."
"Mercenary?" Cruze narrowed his eyes slightly.
"This is not good news. I'm afraid the mercenaries have not been doing well in recent years, right?"
Trovsky shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.
"You can tell by looking at my recent behavior. There is no dispute anymore. Since the giant tower appeared, the economy and public security in the Solar Energy Construction Alliance have improved at a visible speed. Even civilians from other non-alliance member countries are trying their best to find a job in the area around the tower to support their families."
"So, those mercenaries who depend on war for their living have lost their livelihood?"
Cruze closed his eyes, seeming to be thinking quickly about something.
"Probably! As far as I know, there aren't many mercenary teams that are still profitable since the end of the last war. How could the mercenaries who have managed to hold on until now not come here to look for opportunities when they see this good opportunity?"
Trovsky pointed to himself.
"When I was walking down the street just now, I saw several old customers!"
"Take me to see it! Troevsky."
Kruse suddenly stood up and looked at Trovsky with sharp eyes.
Trovsky sighed helplessly, walked to the door silently, and put on the wet raincoat again.
In the waters east of South Africa, after setting off from Tianzhu City and sailing for several days, the Polaris finally arrived in the waters near the eastern coastline of South Africa.
However, the Polaris did not enter the South African waters immediately. Instead, it changed direction and sailed northwest.
"General, the domestic intelligence department sent encrypted information. It found that there were many signs of mercenary activities south of Victoria Airport. The intelligence department of the Eurasian Federation also issued a corresponding warning."
Feng Yun held a piece of freshly printed information in his hand. After quickly browsing through it, he handed it to He Ming.
"It's as expected. Special Envoy, it seems you are very popular!"
After He Ming glanced through it, Cheng Yi, who took the information from him, also took a quick look at it and then smiled.
"Isn't this great? I wonder how much my head is worth?"
Cheng Yi raised his hand and gestured at his head, which made He Ming and Feng Yun feel a little amused.
This envoy seemed to be a fan of the Three Kingdoms and would occasionally bring up some stories from the Three Kingdoms.
"But then again, do those people really think they can stop our actions with just a few mercenaries?"
When a cruel light flashed through Cheng Yi's eyes, his voice also became a little colder.
"Perhaps, that's just an illusion. Mercenaries are nothing to be afraid of. What we should be wary of are the blue cosmos flowers within the Eurasian Federation and the world tree hidden behind them."
Thinking of some of the ideas he had gained from his conversation with Salamantini about the information about the World Tree, He Ming's voice quietly became a little chilly.
"If my guess is correct, the World Tree should be preparing to take action on the day of construction."
