Wangyeong, the capital of the Eastern Kingdom, is also one of the most prosperous cities in the world.
But unlike the large cities in the other world line of Dongguo, this is an urban agglomeration of four or five cities that was originally supposed to be the core area, but has now been repeatedly rebuilt.
The reason is quite simple. Like most of the capital-level cities in this world that have experienced "Monster Clash" and "Superman vs. Ultraman", a city that is too important will cause more serious troubles. When the gods-level cities
When trouble breaks out in an area, you'll be lucky if you just rebuild it instead of digging from the foundation.
“In modern history, Wanjing was originally called Yijing, but it underwent four large-scale reconstructions seven years ago, twenty-one years ago, thirty-three years ago, and forty years ago. As you can see now,
Most of the buildings are reinforced.”
After hearing the tour guide's words, even Lu Pingping didn't know how to respond.
But if you look at modern history, you will know that Wanjing has been rebuilt less often. Various super-large disasters especially like to find core members of each country. In some island countries in the south, even the capitals have been destroyed and directly replaced.
Several times.
Because of these historical reasons, the newly built Wanjing is more like a modular city-state. They are divided into at least ten fortress areas that are, in a sense, similar to a state of war.
"You can look down. This is Shanjing District in Wanjing. It is not only a transportation port, but also one of the top ten agricultural, industrial and trade ports in the country."
Among the group of tourists making loud noises on the deck, Lu Ping'an and Lu Lu were not conspicuous. After all, this was the capital of the Eastern Kingdom, and there were too many strange things and lives.
"It's so enviable."
Looking at the rising and falling airport and various tall buildings below, Lu Lu felt envious from the bottom of her heart at this moment.
Different from the generally low building environment in the ancient city, these steel-shelled buildings are generally not low in height. In such a world, high-rise buildings mean high population density, and at the same time, they also mean high disaster incidence rates and disasters.
A large number of deaths occurred.
What troubles high-rise buildings is not the building materials, but the local security capabilities.
“Indeed, it’s pretty awesome.”
Lu Ping'an glanced at the security guards on the slowly landing airship and casually saw several laws. Even if they saw "freaks" like Lu and Lu Lu, they just kept a polite distance instead of avoiding them.
.
"Hope everything goes well."
Accompanying him were not only the senior officials of the ancient city government who were chatting on the deck over there, but also an extra "friend" because of Lu Ping'an's mischief these days.
"Now that you're out, what are you going to do in your development zone?"
"How to do it? A cousin of mine, who used to be the director of the Finance Bureau, was suddenly promoted to the deputy director of the Development Zone Management Committee."
Wang Xier sighed. After she started running something, she "suffered a sudden illness" and "had to" take leave to rest.
"Pfft, that's what was expected."
Lu Ping'an handed over the alcoholic drink. Wang Xier sighed, took it and drank it in one gulp.
It seems that someone has been eyeing her position for a long time.
"However, it's not a loss if you can come here as a representative."
Looking at the bustling city below, with the strange modern city where giant monsters occasionally walked slowly through the streets, Wang Xier also lamented that this feeling of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden was really novel.
Lu Pingping, who was on the deck, also withdrew his gaze.
He just saw a quasi-god 13 kilometers away, and a quasi-god seven kilometers away who was stronger than the previous one. But they also saw Lu Pingping!
One stared back, and the other pointed his middle finger at him.
"It seems that this city can't be looked at casually."
Lu Ping'an has turned off a wide range of perception and spiritual vision, and the perception range of the Eye of Truth has also been opened to the smallest setting. Looking around in such a city is indeed a bit too exciting.
He sensed several extremely large-scale "energy sources", which might be agents or incarnations of god-level beings.
No wonder everyone around them thinks that Lulu, the eighth level, is nothing. In a city like this, it is natural to see any kind of monster.
"The meeting with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should be in three days, but it is best to communicate with the MPs in advance within two days."
The advantage of bringing in the senior officials of the ancient city is reflected. Maybe they are just local officials, but their classmates, senior brothers and other connections can be used to easily connect people when doing many things.
Originally, the alliance between the "Mercury 42" indigenous people and the foreign affairs department followed normal diplomatic procedures. God knows how long it will take to prioritize this. At least the feedback given by the long-handed people who were traveling with it was quite negative.
After the forces in the ancient city joined the operation, no one knew what happened in the middle. The foreign affairs department quickly finalized the meeting time, and the list of core personnel (members, officials) who could play a role was also in hand.
This is why although outsiders follow fair and equitable procedures, they are often slow and inefficient and are often at the lowest point of the prescribed time limit. However, insiders do everything legally and compliantly, but always receive preferential treatment at the upper limit of the "rules", and somehow everything goes smoothly.
"Thank you. We will prepare the materials and meet and communicate with you then."
The group of people encountered a "pick-up", but while the leaders of the ancient city were busy socializing, young people like Lu Ping'an had their own plans.
This is normal. Everyone has their own busy areas. After agreeing on the contact information and meeting time, they went about their own business.
"It's just the foreign affairs department."
"It depends on the final quotation of this deal. If the internal evaluation is very high, maybe the country's leaders will come to the signing site to sign or something."
"Is it just a signature? We are a world here. Although I can't represent the whole world, it is indeed the magnitude of a world. Isn't it enough to even talk to the leader of a country face to face?"
Although she could understand it, emotionally it was still difficult for Lu Lu to accept it.
Diplomacy pays attention to reciprocity. Leaders of big countries and small countries must be treated equally at least in terms of face. Even though everyone knows that equality is just a procedure, it is a kind of respect in itself.
But obviously, Mercury 42 cannot get this respect now.
"Understand, if we let the leader who is said to be a mortal talk about this matter, his workload will probably kill him very quickly. If we let him take care of it personally, the efficiency may be even lower if he specializes in the industry."
Lu Lu sighed. This is also a reality that cannot be helped. Mercury 42 is very important. For the entire Dongguo, there is no difference between one more and one less. Since it is our own side to take the initiative to "ask for help", we must first find a way to deal with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
There are MPs.
"Looking at the bright side, not being taken seriously is a good thing for us, at least for me, it's a great thing."
