Chapter 545: A Difficult and Extraordinary Game Learning Journey

Europe, in theory, is a vast and resource-rich country, and self-sufficiency shouldn't be a problem.
Unfortunately, under the manipulation of Fang Huan's invisible hand, years of extreme weather and severe crop failures have already emptied their granaries, leaving them mere shells.
"In that case, let's release some of our reserves," Su Hao said calmly.
If they don't, Europe will be plunged into an abyss of no return.
Making money can wait; saving the people comes first.
In Su Hao's dictionary, it's not about trading human lives for profit.
"Chairman Su, the strategic department has a proposal," Liang Haiyuan added cautiously,
"They suggest we add a condition to these negotiations."
"A condition?" Su Hao's eyes sharpened instantly.
If it were opportunistic profiteering, an exorbitant demand, he would refuse without hesitation.
He wasn't the kind of heartless capitalist who profited from national disaster.
“As you know, those Europeans have been finding all sorts of excuses to prevent our ‘Wildfire’ security force from entering their sphere of influence.
The Strategic Department's idea is to take this opportunity to get them to issue formal permits for ‘Wildfire’s’ legal operation!”
This proposal caught Su Hao's eye.
“Wildfire” is Fang Huan’s private armed security force. Its core responsibility is to provide escort services for shipping companies, protecting ships from pirates and other threats.
However, due to the sensitive nature of the term “private military enterprise,” European countries have been extremely wary of “Wildfire,” making escort operations for Fang Huan’s fleet in certain sea areas exceptionally difficult.
Now, it’s time to break these shackles!
This is not only for Fang Huan’s interests, but also for the safety of the crew members who risk their lives on the high seas.
This request is reasonable and justifiable.
After all, Fang Huan’s “Wildfire,” besides protecting its own shipping, has never engaged in any outrageous military activities, has it?
“That’s a good suggestion,” Su Hao nodded.
“Do it that way. Issue the order to immediately mobilize our grain reserves and stabilize grain prices in Europe.
But the prerequisite is that the contract terms for the ‘wildfire’ must be clearly stated in black and white!
Every single word must be thoroughly reviewed!
To prevent them from playing tricks, to prevent those politicians from turning their backs on us after receiving the grain.”
“Understood! I’ll get on it right away!” Liang Haiyuan replied excitedly.
“Oh, right, there’s this too.”
Su Hao picked up a document from the table and handed it to him.
Liang Haiyuan took the document, glanced at the title, and then looked up in confusion:
“Chairman Su, this is… the ‘Global Warming Response Plan’?”
“That’s right. I stumbled upon it while looking through the materials sent by the research department a few days ago, and I found it quite interesting.”
Fang Huan’s research department is like a perpetual motion machine, producing a massive amount of research reports every day.
From quantum mechanics to prehistoric civilizations, it covers everything.
In his spare time, Su Hao enjoyed reading these kinds of things.
And this report on global warming happened to spark a particular inspiration in him.
"Look, from this super typhoon in Libya to the frequent extreme weather events around the world, the root cause of all this is global warming. That's already a consensus."
"Yes...that's right. Chairman Su, but this plan...
The amount of money and the scale of investment are just too...too terrifying!
This isn't just a matter of corporate collaboration; this is a century-long project that only governments of various countries could manage!"
Liang Haiyuan exclaimed in astonishment.
"Exactly," Su Hao smiled slightly,
"Moreover, this data is still very rough; many parts need more detailed and precise adjustments.
This is something I'm not good at; let's hand it over to the group's strategy department for overall coordination. You go and make the arrangements."
The weather is increasingly resembling a mentally unstable madman—this is a consensus among people worldwide.
Even those clowns who once clamored that "global warming is a hoax" have wisely shut their mouths after being repeatedly humiliated by abnormal weather.
Everyone realizes that this world is truly in trouble.
But in Su Hao's view, it might not be too late.
As long as everyone joins hands, stops running away, and faces the problem head-on.
Even if the process is inconvenient and painful, this beautiful blue planet still has a chance to be saved.
What he needs to do is to unite this force into one!

On the other side, across the ocean.
"It's not easy, really not easy."
"But you seem to be having a lot of fun, Mr. President?"
"To be honest, John, I've lived to this age and never thought I'd be interested in something like 'games'."
President Aiden, the highest authority in the United States, was clumsily controlling his game character.
Since being "invited" to the game guild called "Trinity," he had begun a rigorous and arduous learning journey in the game under the guidance of a "one-on-one exclusive tutor" sent by Fang Huan.
These so-called "game tutors" naturally had a surveillance element.
But putting aside their surveillance duties, these guys were genuinely, to the core, passionate about the game itself.
With the unwavering belief that they had to get this old geezer into raids, they practically taught him step-by-step from a complete novice to someone who could barely hold the team back.
All of this left Aiden in awe and utterly astonished.
"A president doesn't have that much free time," Aiden said self-deprecatingly, clumsily controlling his character.
"But since becoming a 'vegetative' government, I've unexpectedly had a lot more free time."
"Actually, I..."
"It's alright, John, I don't blame you." Aiden waved his hand.
"I know you didn't have a choice. 'Fanghuan' has never been an organization that gives people choices, has it?"
But to be honest, the longer he stayed in this Trinity Guild, the more interesting it became.
Originally, he joined this place simply to save his own life and his pitiful presidential dignity.
Unexpectedly, he unwittingly unlocked the wonderful hobby of "games," a way to temporarily forget the troubles of reality.
