Chapter 226                                                                                                                             

Zhang Qiang held back his smile and said, "It's not you who came down, it's me who came up. Haha... Chairman, Prime Minister, I'm not dead at all. Don't you know that there is still a science in this world called acting?" The Chairman looked at Zhang Qiang carefully and murmured, "You... you are really not dead?" Lin Chaoran couldn't help but scold and said, "You are still the president of the country, the number one leader, and he is actually superstitious about the power of ghosts and gods?" The Prime Minister said quietly, "I knew, how could a young man like you die inexplicably? It turns out that this is just you acting and playing the game! Haha... I have to admit that your kid's acting skills are really good, and that shot can't be true anymore!"

Zhang Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "It's a forced one, and I hope the Chairman and the Prime Minister don't blame him." The Chairman and the Prime Minister laughed and said, "No wonder, you just need to be alive." "I said, Chairman, Prime Minister, don't stand up, hurry up and take your seat? We are just the beginning, it's really time for you to come!" Xiao Zhengping said. The Chairman's face turned bitter and said anxiously, "It's really rare that you still have the heart to eat and drink here. Do you know that something big has happened!" The big things in the Chairman's mouth have always been earth-shaking and extraordinary things. Lin Chaoran and Xiao Zhengping immediately became nervous. Lin Chaoran asked anxiously, "What big things are there? Where is the chaos again?"

The chairman frowned and replied, "Middle East! It's almost a fight over there!" Zhang Qiang immediately became nervous when he heard the Middle East. Now the focus of his career has been tilted to the Middle East. Just when he was building a foundation, he couldn't do anything careless, and his ears immediately stood up. When Lin Chaoran heard it was the Middle East, he felt relieved and waved his hand and said, "When isn't there any war in the Middle East? What does it have to do with us? As for making you anxious like this?" The chairman smiled bitterly and said, "But this time is different... Hey, Prime Minister, let's talk about it!"

The Prime Minister calmly took over the conversation and said, "This time the situation in the Middle East has undergone a new change. In the past, the Arab world united to deal with Israel, but now it is completely different. Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Israel, Kuwait, Yemen, Lebane and Saudi Arabia formed an Eight-Nation Alliance to prepare for war with Iraq and the Iranian alliance!" After hearing the Prime Minister's introduction, Lin Chaoran seemed to be dreaming and said, "This... this is too outrageous. Iraq and Iran are united? These two countries have feuds! Forget it, Saudi Arabia and others have formed a coalition with Israel. This is too loud, right? Is it really like singing in a song? It's not that I don't understand, it's because the world changes rapidly?"

The Chairman couldn't help glaring at Lin Chaoran and said, "Don't make trouble first. Listen to the Prime Minister and finish the words, what surprised you even more!" Seeing everyone focusing their eyes on themselves again, the Prime Minister continued, "What you would never imagine is that the root cause of the great turmoil in the Arab world this time was because of our China! No, to be precise, it was because of a Chinese grain transport fleet!" When the Prime Minister talked about the Iran and Iraqi alliance, Zhang Qiang suddenly thought that this matter was probably related to him. When the Prime Minister talked about the grain transport fleet, Zhang Qiang finally got confirmed and stood up from his chair with a bang. He hurriedly took out his cell phone from his pocket, and then he realized that when the mobile phone was automatically turned off because of the power of the electricity!

Seeing Zhang Qiang's nervous look, everyone was stunned. Lin Chaoran asked in confusion, "Qianzi, you... what's wrong with you?" Zhang Qiang shook his head and said, "I... I'll call first, come back soon!" After saying that, he pulled open the chair and left hurriedly. Seeing Zhang Qiang's hurried appearance, Lin Chaoran and others were filled with endless curiosity. Xiao Zhengping looked at Xiaohan who was thinking, and asked in confusion, "Xiaohan, what's wrong with Qiangzi? I seem to feel uncomfortable..." Xiaohan bit his lip and simply told the truth, "Aren't you talking about the grain transport fleet that caused a major change in the Arab situation? In fact, that fleet belongs to him!"

"Ah!? How could this be so?" Xiao Zhengping was stunned when he heard this. Lin Chaoran slapped his forehead and said, "I'm really stupid, why didn't I expect it. Iraq is now the base for Qiangzi. Now there is such a big noise. How could it have nothing to do with him?" The Chairman and the Prime Minister also looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with surprise. Xiao Zhengping was not sensitive to other things. What he was really sensitive to was food. He asked, "Where did this kid get such a batch of food?" Xiao Zhengping's words immediately reminded the Chairman and the Prime Minister. The Chairman shouted, "Yes! I heard that the fleet is composed of hundreds or thousands of ships, each full of food. I'm afraid there is a prefecture-level city in a major grain-producing province that has so much food reserved. Where did he get it?"

Seeing that the eyes of several people were gathering at him, Xiaohan said embarrassedly, "Actually, I had already returned to China a few days ago. I came back with the Lightning ship. I went directly to S City in Province X. Zhang Qiang was purchasing grain there. The food on the ship came from there. The earth sect led by Lightning himself was personally escorted. It was originally to prevent pirates, but unexpectedly something like this happened." "What!? This Qiangzi is too unfavorable. He didn't even come to S Province first to purchase grain. After all, it was his hometown! And this guy from Qionglai is really brave. He secretly sold out all the food in his province alone and did not report it. It was outrageous!" Xiao Zhengping was a little angry when he heard this, and accused Zhang Qiang and Qionglai.

Xiaohan couldn't help but argue for Zhang Qiang, "Dad, at that time, Zhang Qiang didn't know that S Province was also facing the problem of not being able to sell grain. I think if he knew, he would definitely not leave it alone!" Xiaozhengping snorted and said, "Now he just wants to ignore it! In short, the food in the whole country belongs to him. Anyway, he has a big family and can afford to pay, and he just thinks it was sacrificed for the farmers across the country!" Listening to Xiaozhengping's almost unreasonable roar, Xiaohan was really amused and worried about Zhang Qiang.

Hearing that this matter was related to Zhang Qiang, the Chairman and the Prime Minister miraculously calmed down, and even had the leisure to drink wine with Lin Chaoran and turned into family matters. Xiao Zhengping felt a little upset for his son-in-law, and glared at the three of them and said, "Hey, Chairman, the Prime Minister wants the old man, are you too unkind to do this? Do you help Qiangzi with advice? Are you really going to let him take it by yourself?" The Chairman smacked his lips and said, "You have known Qiangzi for so long. I'll ask you, what's hard for him? He can't bear it? Even if we want to intervene, people might even blame us for helping us!" Xiao Zhengping was quite amused and laughed and drank alone.

Zhang Qiang walked to the inner room alone and couldn't wait to dial the Lightning phone number. The phone was connected. When it was Zhang Qiang, Lightning excitedly said, "Brother Qiang, I finally contacted you!" Brother Qiang said embarrassedly, "The phone is out of power and turned off! But, how could this happen? How could it cause such a big storm?" Lightning said bitterly, "Along the way back, I didn't encounter pirates, but I encountered heavy fog and wind and waves. The fleet lost its direction and broke into the Mediterranean. It was nothing, but

I didn't expect that Turkey, Syria, Israel, and Kuwait are now extremely short of food. When the local government saw that our ship was loaded with food and said that we would not let go, we were detained here. I tried to pass the news to the heads of Iraq and Iran. The two countries responded immediately and joined forces to put pressure on the eight governments. But I knew that it would be fine if this was not put in pressure. The pressure actually crushed the eight countries into a group and jointly fought against the alliance between Iran and Iraq!"

Zhang Qiang nodded and asked, "What's the situation now? Are you injured, brothers?" Lightning replied, "No one was injured, but now the Eight-National Combined Fleet has surrounded us. It is possible for us to rush out one of our ships, but it is almost impossible to take the fleet!" Zhang Qiang pondered for a moment and said, "Lightning, don't worry, please comfort everyone, don't be impatient! Just treat it as a vacation, I will find a way to solve this problem!" Lightning sighed and said, "If you want to blame, we can only blame us for not having the power at sea, otherwise we would have done it with them a long time ago, and we don't have to be so angry!" Zhang Qiang said lightly, "Don't worry, there will be something there one day! I'll die first, please wait with peace of mind!"

After finishing the call with lightning, Zhang Qiang returned to the dining table with a serious expression. Lin Chaoran asked with his eyes slanted, "How is it? Is the situation serious?" Zhang Qiang frowned and said, "Now, all aspects are relatively calm, there is no major problem for the time being! But I don't understand, what does the eight Israeli countries do have to do with robbery?" The chairman smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, strictly speaking, it cannot be said that they were robbing. It was your ship first entered the Israeli territorial waters first. People detained you completely to maintain the sacred territory from being violated. It is understandable."

"But their real purpose is not to safeguard territorial sovereignty, but to the food on my ship! This is clearly a robbery, it's really outrageous!" Zhang Qiang said angrily. "For your food? Who did you hear? This is inconsistent with the statement issued by the Baguo government to the outside world." The chairman asked in confusion. Zhang Qiang snorted coldly and said, "They naturally want to find some high-sounding reasons for themselves. These guys want to be bitches and establish a chastity archway. The whole thing is one

Group of bastards!" "Then according to what you said, these countries are also in a hurry to lack food? Otherwise, they would not have done such a thing." Xiao Zhengping said thoughtfully. Zhang Qiang nodded and said slowly, "Most of these countries are coastal, with relatively rich economies. The food problem is not as prominent as Iraq and Iran, but it also exists. In the current situation of food shortage, a large group of grain ships suddenly came to the door. If they are not moved, they will be seeing a ghost!"

The Prime Minister nodded heavily and said, "It makes sense! No wonder Israel will alliate with seven other hostile countries on this matter. Compared to solving the imminent food crisis, cooperation with the enemy is not a big deal. If it were us, I believe we would do this without hesitation! Qiangzi, what are you going to do? Israel has done this step, you should see his determination. It seems that they must leave the food behind."

Zhang Qiang sneered and said, "It's not that easy to make me surrender! Things are still going on, so I want to see what the Eight Coast Congresses do!" The Prime Minister frowned and said solemnly, "Qianzi, I know you must have your own ideas, but I still can't help but remind you that you must grasp this standard. Unlike Iraq, Israel is not as developed as it is economically developed and has strong military power. The entire Arab world fought four battles with him and lost four times. Not only did it fail to curb others, but it also made Israel grow year by year. The Jewish nation is indeed a very excellent nation. You must not underestimate them!"

Zhang Qiang nodded and said, "I understand what you said, I will handle it properly!" The chairman took over the conversation and said, "Qianzi, no matter what, it is the Chinese fleet. Even if Israel has sufficient reasons, it cannot give face to the Chinese government. I will immediately order people to send a note to the Israeli government and everyone sit down and talk about this matter together! Even if the agreement cannot be reached, I believe that the Israeli government will not dare to easily act badly on your fleet!"

Zhang Qiang hurriedly said, "It would be great that the Chinese government puts pressure on the Israeli government. As long as I can buy more time, I will be more confident! However, I have a suggestion that while putting pressure on the eight governments of Israel and other countries, we can launch a large-scale grain purchase nationwide. Since the eight countries of Israel and other countries are coming for food, it is unfair to not give them food in the end. We must have a comprehensive food crisis in the Middle East, which will make the eight governments of Israel take a gamble and prepare enough food before they move hard on the fleet! Transport it over as soon as possible!"
