"Senior, this vegetable garden is so beautiful." After seeing several pumpkins weighing several kilograms and large pieces of neatly tidy tomato vegetable beds, a director of the State Administration of Information sighed: "My father also has such a vegetable garden in his hometown of Luoqia County, which contains vegetables, fruit trees, and grape vines. Every time I go home, I have to take a nap under the grape trellis."

"Director Song is also a person who loves life, but Nanzhu is still a little different here." Wei Jianzhang nodded and smiled: "Because of the special climate, the fruits or vegetables here will bear particularly large and taste more sweet. This is the blessing given by the Heavenly Lord. It not only gives you a bad climate, but also gives you a good oasis agriculture, and also trains the perseverance of the local people's will."

"Perhaps there are petroleum, kaolin, tungsten, lead and zinc mines." Director Song added with a smile.

"You can't have nothing." Wei Jianzhang smiled and helped up a flower with a broken stem. While greeting everyone in the door, he said: "In fact, life in the Oasis is quite comfortable. Apart from the wind in winter, there is nothing that makes people dissatisfied. It is especially friendly to people like me."

Indeed, as Wei Jianzhang said, the three main rivers in the southern cone area, the Chubute River, Ludang River, and Baoxing River, continue all year round (the Yellow Yang River in the south is not discussed because the climate is relatively cold), and there is a considerable flow even during the dry season. Especially the Ludang River, which has the most abundant water, can even drive a small inland river boat from the river to the mouth of the river, and go all the way to the vicinity of Dingnan Town. People on the east coast allocate a large amount of funds every year to the central government, regional finance and county and township finance along the way to clear the river channel to ensure that the ships can be navigated.

At the same time, cotton that consumes severe water is also prohibited from growing. Although there is little rainfall, clear air and long light time, it is very suitable for the growth of cotton, a crop. However, the prohibition is a decision made by everyone. If cotton consumes too much water, it will seriously squeeze out the water share in other fields, and even lead to a drop in the river water level. It is difficult to sail during the dry season. So the money should be made by the people in Chako. Anyway, the scale of cotton planting there is a large scale. We must protect the water source on which we rely for survival. In the future, a "platinum country" in Central Asia has been growing uncontrollably, resulting in increasingly fierce water conflicts with neighboring countries and their own soil salinization. In the end, it has to stop cotton exports, which is unsustainable.

The East Coast people's operation of the South Cone River as an oasis is currently quite successful. The windbreak forest is divided into fragmented land cut by well-connected irrigation canals. The land is planted with high-value economic crops. The concept of water-saving agriculture is introduced. Drip irrigation technology is popular and the overall agricultural efficiency is very high. In cities outside the countryside, there are also many green parks, lush trees and fragrant flowers. Dingnan Town is a typical garden-shaped city, very beautiful. No wonder the Ministry of Geology, the Institute of Natural Sciences, the Institute of Engineering and Technology and some well-known enterprises will open branches here. The East Coast University of Geology, which has just been established for less than a year, even set up the campus here.

"Let's sit in this yard, which is spacious and can see the sun. When you are old, you like to bask in the sun." The male servants and guards in the yard joined forces to bring tables, chairs and benches, and at the same time built a pot of matte tea for each person. Wei Jianzhang sat on a magistrate chair and greeted everyone to have tea.

"Haha, on weekdays, I'm busy with my work, but I can still get half a day of leisure when I get to my seniors." Director Song dragged a rattan chair, sat opposite Wei Jianzhang, and said with a smile.

"Then let's have more rest. I don't have anything else here, so I'll have enough tea and snacks." Wei Jianzhang said.

"It's not as casual as the old senior, and there's not so much leisure and leisure." Director Song laughed, picked up the teacup and took a sip. After seeing that the servants and the guards had left, he adjusted his thoughts and finally decided to get straight to the point: "Senior, Song came here this time, but in fact he was ordered by his superiors to inquire with Senior Wei."

"I am a retired person. I'm afraid it's not Yuanmu's begging for fish." Wei Jianzhang smiled and then reached out and said, "Just kidding. Director Song, just say it if you have anything to do. Wei has worked in the General Administration for the rest of his life. He is not that kind of ignorant boy. Tell me, I will definitely answer if you can answer."

"Senior Wei doesn't have to worry about it. In fact, the bureau has given me the authorization of this time. This is a document. Senior is worried that some confidential matters cannot be described. This is too much to worry about, but it doesn't matter." Director Song handed a sealed and signed document to Wei Jianzhang and said softly.

Wei Jianzhang silently took the document and found that it was an appointment letter, which said that Director Song and three members of a special working group were members of a special working group. He was ordered to participate in a confidential matter and authorized as "full authority". Wei Jianzhang immediately understood that these young people might have been following this "case" for a long time. When they came to find themselves today, they probably had a glimpse of the matter. Therefore, he quickly signaled the identities of Director Song and others and signaled him to speak.

"Senior, have Wei Mingxing ever contacted you over the years?" Director Song asked.

"I have never contacted him. My deceased mother doesn't like him, although this person has never appeared in front of our family." Wei Jianzhang said frankly: "As far as I know, Wei Mingxing's activities are mainly limited to Heishui, Manchuria, Denglai, Richa and other places. He has served in the army, and you should go to the Army Department to check the information."

"We have other working groups on the Army Department, and the information has basically been found out." Director Song said: "We came to disturb you, mainly to see if there is any new information on you. After all, you and him are half-brothers, and you may know more than ordinary people."

"You took this for granted. In fact, we have never had contact with each other, it's that simple. I only learned about something when I read the internal information. My father even hid it from me back then, and I couldn't do anything about it." Wei Jianzhang said.

Director Song stared at him for a while, as if he was telling the truth or falsehood of what he said. In his opinion, it was impossible for Wei Jianzhang to be unaware of it, but it was nonsense to say how deeply he participated in this matter. In fact, because he was the son of Wei Boqiu, it was too eye-catching, so the big guys, such as Ma Wanpeng, who had already gone to the immortals, deliberately bypassed him when he was doing this. Wei Jianzhang was not even a member of the peripheral, and talking to him was indeed just a routine matter. Wei himself should understand this in his heart.

"Okay, since you really don't know, we won't ask more questions." Director Song signaled his followers to put away their pens and notebooks and said with a smile. He could not tell Wei Jianzhang about some things, such as the upper class had basically set the tone, that is, "not turning over old accounts." In other words, no matter how many people participated in this matter before, it didn't matter. That's it, and at this point, there will be no large-scale investigation. What they are doing now is just collecting information and will be sealed in the future, and perhaps it will be declassified and seen again after decades.

As for the North American Democratic and Freedom Federation, it has held two talks with the East Coast government's diplomatic commissioner. The overall attitude of both sides is quite positive. The North American Democratic and Freedom Federation repaid several East Coast transportation boats seized by them, and at the same time sent some food and medicine to the Cedar Fort, which was besieged for a long time, to avoid its large-scale reduction in staff. The upper level of the East Coast has now officially abandoned the plan to resolve their use of force, intending to recognize their regime and establish diplomatic relations with them.

Of course, this does not mean that the East Coast government wants to treat it equally with this country. In fact, this is impossible. For example, the land they currently occupy is large, but it is actually very weak. Many places do not seem to be actual control in the eyes of East Coast people. The East Coast government is unwilling to recognize its existing territory and must approve and limit it. In addition, the expansion of the North American Democratic and Freedom Federation must also be restricted, and it is impossible for you to increase your territory without limit. The North American continent is so vast, who knows how much you will expand? Therefore, the East Coast government will send an observer team to the North American continent to supervise a series of actions of the North American Democratic and Freedom Federation to avoid doing anything out of the ordinary.

From this we can also see that the East Coast government treats the North American Democratic and Freedom Federation as the "Son Country" that seeks, and has no intention of respecting them at all. Whatever I want you to carry out reforms, what I want to limit you, what I want you to do, and what I want you to do, have "guidance" every move, and no transcendence is allowed. Basically, the attitude of the Sect Master to the vassal state is good, and I admit that your son is already good, don't think about freedom, just be obedient.

However, North American Democratic and Freedom Federation is used to being wild, and whether they will listen to the East Coast government is also a question. Of course, in the eyes of East Coast "elites" like Director Song, the situation of this country is very bad. Not only has the population always grown weakly, but the domestic technology level is also very low. This can be seen from their naval warships that it is basically at the same level as Europeans, and it is even worse than that in some small details. Furthermore, domestic livelihood technology is also very backward, except for a few companies in industrial production.

In addition to the factories established in 2018, they are basically limited to the handicraft stage. It can be seen that it is difficult to upgrade because the literacy rate is too low. A large number of citizens are in a state of ignorance and are ineffective and effectively converted into industrial labor. In short, this is an agricultural country with a small industrial foundation, and it is not the same order of magnitude as the world civilization beacon like the East Coast. No wonder in the eyes of many East Coast officials, if you are willing to talk to you, the negotiations will be very proud, but don’t be shameless!
