Chapter 656 Extra Twelve (An Unprecedented Grand Project)

"What method can be used to gather massive amounts of money for Huaxia in a short period of time?" Wang Jianshan asked excitedly.

"Follow the path of Country M," Chen Feng replied calmly.

"Follow the path of Country M? What does that mean?" Wang Jianshan was momentarily confused.

"Issue super bonds," Chen Feng continued to explain calmly.

"That probably won't work, will it? In recent years, why has Country M fallen from the pedestal of a world superpower? Isn't it precisely because they issued super debts and literally dug their own grave? Since we know how Country M dug its own grave, why would we want to follow Country M's old path? Isn't that being tired of living?" Wang Jianshan asked in confusion.

"Old Wang, let me put it this way, Country M's debt development strategy is not problematic. Country M's prosperity for the past century was mainly due to super debts. Frankly speaking, they borrowed money from the whole world and then developed themselves. It's just that in the last twenty years, Country M's debt has encountered a devastating problem: energy. To put it bluntly, Country M can no longer control the world's energy. Energy is a hard currency. Whoever controls the world's new energy can do whatever they want. Huaxia has already mastered the civilian application of cold fusion, and cold fusion civilianization accounts for more than two-thirds of the world's energy. Not only that, but Huaxia also maintains good relations with other oil and natural gas producing countries, conducting transactions in their own currencies. This way, Huaxia has become like Country M a hundred years ago, controlling the world's energy. With this great weapon, we can issue super debts. With a large amount of funds, we can not only complete world-class subway projects, but we can also continue to develop cold fusion. The easier cold fusion becomes, the more formidable Huaxia will be," Chen Feng explained with high spirits.

"Chen Feng, you always give me unexpected feelings. Your thinking and strategic vision..." Wang Jianshan couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Old Wang, to be honest, the reason I have such a great thinking and strategic vision is entirely due to being pushed. Frankly speaking, if I don't force myself to have a broad vision, it will harm Huaxia. Why has Country M continuously declined in the past few decades? The main reason is that several consecutive leaders were shortsighted. To avoid repeating the same mistakes, the strategic vision must be grand," Chen Feng said with a solemn expression.

"Chen Feng, rest assured, I will ensure that the matters of Hong Tianchao, Country M's hydrogen energy scam, and Huaxia's interconnected subway system are implemented one by one. Next, you can relax and rest for a while with your whole heart," Wang Jianshan said excitedly.

"I've already rested for quite some time, and I should still rest?" Chen Feng replied humbly.

"It's very normal. You have the ability, you can strategize and plan, and you set a very good overall direction, so naturally, you have more rest time. By the way, there's something I don't know if I should tell you." Wang Jianshan said hesitantly.

"Old Wang, please tell me anything."

"You promise me you won't rush. You promise me, and then I'll tell you." Wang Jianshan said while observing Chen Feng's expression, ready to stop if Chen Feng's expression turned unfavorable.

"Old Wang, I've been in the political arena for so many years and have experienced so many storms. No matter what happens, I can handle it," Chen Feng replied calmly.

"Cheng Lu is in trouble, I just received the news." Wang Jianshan spoke word by word.

"What? Cheng Lu is in trouble? How is that possible? Isn't Cheng Lu a deputy mayor in another direct-controlled municipality with her father? Her father is the mayor of a direct-controlled municipality, and she is the deputy mayor. Although this deputy mayor position is hidden, not openly declared. A direct-controlled municipality has more than a dozen deputy mayors, so arranging a hidden deputy mayor is not difficult. I contacted Cheng Lu not long ago, and she was very happy. How did she suddenly get into trouble?" Chen Feng said in confusion.

"You are an old hand in the political arena, so you should know. People in the political arena are easily implicated. Cheng Lu and her father, Cheng Liren, have both been implicated. The two of them are currently in a hotel and cannot contact the outside world," Wang Jianshan said in a low voice.

"Implicated by whom?"

"It is said to be because of the railway construction matter." Wang Jianshan continued in a low voice.

"Railway construction?"

"Yes, precisely the railway construction. To put it bluntly, it was two places fighting over which area the railway would pass through, and then... you understand the rest, being an old hand in the political arena." Wang Jianshan shrugged.

"I understand. Old Wang, you go ahead and do your business, I'll go see Cheng Lu." Chen Feng said, forcing himself to remain calm. Cheng Lu was his woman, and if something big happened to his woman, he couldn't pretend nothing happened; he had to deal with it.

"Chen Feng, I suggest that you better not get involved in this matter. Political struggles, especially high-level power struggles, are like a vortex. If you're not careful, you'll get pulled in. Moreover, you are currently in a critical period and cannot be distracted by a woman." Wang Jianshan advised Chen Feng.

"Old Wang, if it were an ordinary woman, I might not interfere. After all, becoming the supreme leader of Huaxia is very important to me and to Huaxia. It cannot be easily ruined by one incident. However, Cheng Lu is not an ordinary woman," Chen Feng explained.

"Then tell me, how is Chen Feng not ordinary?" Old Wang asked tentatively.

"Cheng Lu is the woman who has been with me the longest, second only to Aunt Xue. To be honest, in the past twenty years, besides your daughter Wang Ziwei, who has helped me the most, it's Cheng Lu next. I am a person who values relationships deeply. If I watch my most important woman suffer a major blow and I do nothing, I will never be at peace with myself," Chen Feng said earnestly.

"But, have you considered a very serious problem? If you fail to become the highest leader of Huaxia because of Chen Feng, wouldn't that be a huge loss?" Old Wang countered.

"Old Wang, think about it carefully. If I can't even protect my own woman, how can I protect Huaxia? I believe the two are not contradictory," Chen Feng said calmly.

"Chen Feng, don't mind me speaking bluntly. What I mean is, if you fail, will you regret it?" Wang Jianshan asked seriously.

"No regrets." Chen Feng replied firmly.

"Chen Feng, I must remind you, if you fail, you will have to wait several more years. Are you sure you won't regret it?" Wang Jianshan pressed.

"No regrets." Chen Feng continued to say with a firm expression.

"Since you've decided, I won't try to persuade you any further. However, there is an urgent situation now. Cheng Lu is being restricted in the hotel, and no one is allowed to see her..."

"According to regulations, that's how it is. However, as I said before, rules are only made for the incompetent. For capable people, rules are optional..." Chen Feng explained calmly.

"Alright, I believe you. With your sharp mind and strong background, you can definitely meet Cheng Lu. The problem is, what's the point of meeting Cheng Lu? Once a major figure in Huaxia's political arena is restricted in a hotel, their future is basically ruined..." Wang Jianshan asked with a hint of doubt.
