246: The battle over materials, with each side wielding significant power.

"Elders."

Jiang Chuan entered the conference room and respectfully addressed the many elders inside.

"Mhm, have a seat and we can talk."

The elders looked at Jiang Chuan's arrival, smiled at him, and spoke.

"Elders, I think I'll remain standing while I speak."

"This matter is something CEO Jiang and the Grand Elder couldn't fully explain, which is why I have come here."

Hearing the elders' words, Jiang Chuan informed them that coming here this time was entirely his own initiative.

"Go ahead and speak."

The elders listened to Jiang Chuan, all turning to look at him and smiling as they spoke.

"Elders, this material is vitally important to us. In fact, it is the essential material for us to step into the new field of aviation."

"The elders should also know that technology is becoming increasingly advanced. Whoever controls space holds the true initiative, and this material is what we must have to control space."

Jiang Chuan spoke these words gravely.

"Elaborate on that."

Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, the elders all looked toward him.

Jiang Chuan spoke his inner thoughts without hesitation.

He thoroughly explained the strategic policies regarding the aerospace cruiser, its importance, and everything the aerospace cruiser was capable of achieving to the elders.

He believed that after hearing this information, the elders would know how to make their decision.

As the elders listened to Jiang Chuan, their expressions gradually became solemn. If everything Jiang Chuan said was true, then this material was indeed indispensable.

Jiang Chuan watched the elders deliberate, and at that moment, he did not say anything further. He left the conference room and went alone to the smoking area, waiting for the final result of the elders' discussion.

If the elders were unwilling to confront the United States, this material would be lost, and the aerospace cruiser would only become a pile of scrap metal.

Half an hour later.

The elders concluded their final meeting and decided to take action.

Since Tianxia Group and Bahrain had already signed an agreement, they would proceed according to the agreement. If the United States wanted a confrontation, they would see it through to the end this time.

"Good. Thank you, Elders."

Hearing this, Jiang Chuan immediately smiled happily and thanked the Grand Elder directly.

He knew that obtaining the material this time required the nation's full support.

"CEO Liu, contact Bahrain immediately. As long as they hand the material over to us, not only will we pay, but Huaxia will also fully assist them. If the United States dares to start a war, we will fight them to the bitter end."

Jiang Chuan told Liu Yong these words with great forcefulness.

"I understand, CEO Jiang."

Hearing this, Liu Yong instantly became excited.

Huaxia's development has grown increasingly stronger over the years, especially its naval and air power, which is not far inferior to that of the United States. If Huaxia takes a strong stance, the United States will surely not dare to start a war.

After all, the United States does not have absolute confidence in defeating Huaxia.

"Dad, I have given instructions to Tianxia Group. Now, Huaxia needs to step forward."

Jiang Chuan also informed Jiang Wenli of this matter, asking them to prepare quickly.

Since this matter concerned two nations, it naturally couldn't be settled with a simple discussion; they would inevitably have to flex their muscles.

"I understand. The Grand Elder has already contacted the military."

Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Jiang Wenli also nodded.

Liu Yong quickly started negotiating with Bahrain. The Bahrain side, upon hearing Liu Yong's words, was naturally reluctant to believe him.

Liu Yong was just a businessman. Could he possibly influence an entire country?

The personnel the United States contacted in Bahrain were US Official Authorities.

"Alright, I will have Huaxia's Official Authorities contact you."

Liu Yong understood that Bahrain was unwilling to trust him, so the next step was to have the Official Authorities negotiate with them.

"Dad, you need to send people to negotiate."

After receiving Liu Yong's call, Jiang Chuan immediately spoke to Jiang Wenli.

"Alright."

Jiang Wenli had actually anticipated this; if the Official Authorities did not step forward, Bahrain would naturally not trust a mere businessman.

"Go and talk with Bahrain. You should already know about this matter—it concerns the material for Tianxia Group."

Jiang Wenli had already prepared and had sent the relevant documents to the Huaxia Official Authorities stationed in Bahrain.

"Understood, CEO Jiang."

The Official Authorities understood Jiang Wenli's intent and immediately contacted the Bahrain Official Authorities.

The Bahrain Official Authorities, upon learning of this, immediately understood that Huaxia was truly willing to intervene and help Tianxia Group, and they were naturally willing to cooperate with Tianxia Group.

After all, Tianxia Group's offered price was too high, and Bahrain was naturally unwilling to refuse.

Although the United States had also offered a decent price, compared to Tianxia Group's offer, it was insignificant.

Furthermore, the United States had directly threatened them, and they were naturally unwilling to submit to threats. The most important point was that although the US was willing to pay them, whether the US would actually hand over the money after obtaining the material was an unknown variable.

"As long as you can resolve this trouble with the United States, we will hand the material over to you."

The Bahrain Official Authorities also stated their condition.

"Agreed."

Huaxia's Official Authorities naturally agreed immediately upon hearing this, and then relayed the meaning of the Bahrain Official Authorities to Jiang Wenli.

"Go and negotiate with the US Official Authorities. Try for a peaceful settlement."

Jiang Wenli was informed of this matter, and subsequently contacted the Huaxia Official Authorities stationed in the United States, asking them to quickly reach an agreement with the US.

Of course, if an agreement could not be reached, everyone would have to flex their muscles and see if the opposing side dared to start a war!

"Yes, CEO Jiang."

The Huaxia officials in the United States were also informed of this matter. They contacted the US Official Authorities immediately, explaining the reason for their visit.

"That's impossible. This material belongs to the United States."

The US Official Authorities were very aggressive and naturally could not give up the material. They had been searching for this type of material for some time and would certainly not abandon it.

"Alright, I understand."

Jiang Wenli had anticipated this outcome and instructed them to return home for the time being.

Jiang Wenli also informed the Grand Elder of this matter. The Grand Elder immediately ordered Huaxia's military forces to mobilize. Since the opposing side wanted to flex its muscles, they would meet the challenge and see if the United States truly dared to make a move.

"Send someone to negotiate. We need to take the material, and we can pre-pay half the funds."

Jiang Chuan contacted Liu Yong, asking him to act quickly.

"I understand, CEO Jiang."

Hearing this, Liu Yong began negotiating with Bahrain regarding the material. At the same time, forces from the United States and Huaxia started moving closer to Bahrain.

This incident immediately captured the world's attention.
