I became the Martial Saint of the Wasteland

Rosen's business requires a lot of support.

These people have their own division of labor.

Some people fight for him, and some people walk in front of him as agents.

Of course, we also need tool men like Zhao Guangfu and Wang Guanshi who "eat their salary and seek their jobs".

Regarding the follow-up arrangements for the port, Rosen planned to start with Governor Zhou Haishun.

Therefore, there is no need to involve the Tiejin Chamber of Commerce.

Just let it continue to serve as a transit warehouse.

And to be honest, the stocking up has been going on so far. Considering the purpose, the money has been paid back long ago.

After staying in the distance and listening to the two people talking quietly for a while, he got up and entered the inner warehouse.

A small cubicle was set up there for him to rest.

The room has everything. Although it's not very comfortable, it's at least a good place to stay.

Tonight's trip to the Governor's Mansion went smoothly, but he also consumed a lot of spiritual energy.

Mental fatigue can be restored through meditation and sleep.

If a two-pronged approach is taken, the effect will naturally be better.

Rosen sat on the edge of the bed and thought about the current situation.

Then he took off his leather shoes, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and entered the state of spiritual practice.

It wasn't until after an hour that he let out a breath of turbid air, ended his practice, and started to sleep directly.

Through the adjustment of his own spiritual thoughts, Rosen allowed his mind to be empty and leisurely, temporarily abandoning all kinds of distractions, and fell asleep particularly peacefully.

Of course, before falling asleep, he did not forget to deploy the mini warning robot and put the disposable holy shield beside him, so that he would not make any big mistakes.

Steady breathing sounded, and the passage of time slowly became meaningless.

…

The next day, it was still dark.

Rosen got up on time and went straight to Lipu Bay without saying hello to anyone.

There was a small wooden boat parked at the port.

He did not approach the port immediately, but took a stroll around it first.

After confirming that there were no ambush or observers around, he boarded the boat without leaving a trace.

Because it is a semi-abandoned old port, the berthing conditions here are very poor.

The shore of the port is full of decaying wooden boards.

There are also several abandoned hulls that have been moved ashore after being damaged.

There are still traces of barnacles left on the bottoms of those ruined ships, and all traces have become dark and black under the sea breeze blowing day and night.

Apart from Rosen's boat, there were only a few small sampans parked nearby.

There are also some old men with small fish baskets hanging on their waists sitting on the reef bank smoking dry cigarettes.

For these old smokers, a good smoke is a must before going to work.

They all make a living in the offshore, catching small fish and shrimps.

It’s not easy to want to smoke leisurely after entering the sea.

Especially in this era, the ocean is by no means a good place.

Those huge marine beasts and monsters almost possess the power to overturn everything.

Especially the deep sea.

Even those demon armored ships have to stay away.

The legends of various sea monsters are popular.

Fortunately, the ocean is big enough, and they have little interest in going ashore.

Because of this, the ocean is not so easy to navigate.

The Age of Discovery launched by the demons back then deserves to be praised.

Even though offshore activities are less risky, they are ultimately less secure.

All the fishermen and islanders who make a living at sea, no matter how careless they are when they land, they will be very energetic when they enter the sea or get on the boat.

Rosen sat on the slightly wet bow of the boat, with an old suede padding under him.

When you breathe in, you can smell the salty sea breeze.

The saltiness comes from the sea, and the fishiness comes from the sea fish.

He changed his outfit today, wearing a shirt and a sleeveless vest.

There are decent and delicate silver buttons on the collar, and there is a handkerchief tucked into the chest.

The lower body is wearing a hunting jacket with a wide mouth, and an armed belt is also worn on the waist.

The special holster on the right contains a large-caliber extended revolver.

This was magically modified by the survivors after the great destruction of the wasteland world.

Codenamed "Elephant Hunter", the bullets fired have a caliber of 22.3 mm. They use specialized unconventional ammunition, and each shot is comparable to a small cannon.

When worn on the waist, the bag bulges like a long-barreled shotgun.

He just waited patiently, and soon the halo of the morning sun appeared on the sea level in the distance.

It's a pity that due to the angle, you can't see the proper sunrise from this location.

The vague sound of cockcrows came one after another behind him.

When technology lags behind, life may not be as efficient, but it can be a little more leisurely and fun.

At this time, Rosen only felt that his body and mind were empty, and his thinking was pure and thorough.

Those disturbing desires and distracting thoughts have settled down, while the firm goals in my heart have floated upward.

After enjoying a moment of tranquility, Rosen suddenly withdrew his distant gaze.

He heard the sound of car tires crunching across the dirt road.

I turned around and looked, and sure enough, a black car drove out on the dirt road leading to Lipu Bay.

The old gasoline engine was roaring.

From what Rosen could see, there was only one person in the driver's seat.

Zhou Haishun, the governor of Xiangjiang, drove here in person without any entourage or escort.

He took care of himself very well.

Although he was not wearing the governor's uniform, his suit was neat and tidy.

The car didn't turn off. He opened the door, stepped onto the mud on the shore, and walked toward Rosen step by step.

The latter also stood up from the bow and came to the edge of the boat next to the shore.

The muddy road turned Zhou Haishun's shiny leather shoes into a mess.

He has no martial arts training, nor does he have any spiritual training.

It's just that after being embraced for the first time, he has some vampire abilities.

However, most of the time, he seems to prefer to remain in human form rather than easily choose to transform.

Rosen smiled after seeing him.

"Your Excellency is punctual and trustworthy."

After saying that, he reached out his hand to grab Zhou Haishun and pulled him onto the boat.

After hearing his words, Zhou Haishun smiled bitterly.

"How dare you disobey me when you have poison pills in your body."

He told the truth and did not shy away from the topic.

Rosen's lips curled up slightly, but he said nothing more.

He untied the cable and coiled it carefully.

Then he picked up the oar and started rowing.

This kind of short wooden boat is not too small to say the least, and has a mast in the middle.

Wind power can be used when necessary.

You can also paddle forward, with four paddle positions.

Rosen has a lot of power, and he can control it by himself.

The small wooden boat floated out quickly.

Although he had no experience in piloting such an old ship, with the help of powerful miracles and the fine-tuning of his spiritual thoughts, he could easily control the ship.

Just rock the boat and leave the shore.

About half an hour later, Rosen finally stopped.

It is located on the sea, but you can still see the shore.

After lowering the bow and stern anchors, he invited Zhou Haishun to enter the cabin and sit down.

There is a small charcoal stove with water boiling on it.

Place the tea cup, put in the tea leaves, and Rosen makes the tea himself.

Each poured a glass in front of them.

It wasn't until he finished his first sip of tea that Rosen looked at Zhou Haishun seriously.

This made Zhou Haishun feel secretly in his heart.

I know the topic is coming soon.

"Actually, I am the big boss of the Iron Man Martial Arts Association."

"The Tiezhen Chamber of Commerce in Xiangjiang is also my property."

Rosen opened his mouth like a king and had no reservations, nor did he intend to hold anything back.

This answer made Zhou Haishun tremble for a while, and the surprise flashed across his face.

"Sure enough, I should have thought of it a long time ago..."

"It turns out that the Iron Man Martial Arts Association is so generous..."

He muttered to himself in a daze, his expression becoming a little complicated.

Ever since Rosen used a nuclear bomb and teamed up with Zou Xiao to kill tens of thousands of foreign soldiers in the past few months.

The reputation of the Iron Man Martial Arts Association was completely established.

Performance is the best publicity.

Zhou Haishun, who was in Xiangjiang, naturally knew about the Iron Man Martial Arts Association.

Even the few speculations he had in his mind after last night actually included this possibility.

Now that he has received proof, his mood is naturally very complicated.

Some were surprised, some were dazed, and some were unexpected and unreasonable.

Because from his point of view, it is impossible to guess what the Iron Man Wushui's purpose is in setting up the Tiejin Chamber of Commerce in Xiangjiang.

For the aborigines of the Eight Wastelands.

Although canned food, milk powder and alcohol are widely available, they are not necessities.

The Iron Man Martial Arts Association has a lot of money, so there is absolutely no need to play all these bells and whistles.

At this point, the answer is only half revealed.

He still had many doubts in his mind.

Thinking of this, Zhou Haishun felt his mouth go dry and couldn't help but lick the corners of his lips.

Rosen saw his reaction in his eyes and kept the smile on his face.

"If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

He crossed his arms, ready to answer questions.

The geographical location of Xiangjiang is very important, even more important than Tianjin for future development.

The two places, one in the south and one in the north, correspond to the two maritime gateways in the north and south of Tianqing.

It meets Rosen's criteria for taking action.

Tianqing has a profound heritage, and there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the hinterland.

The division of various forces and territories has long been clear.

It's not easy to gain ground there.

Unless he can also create a rebel army.

If you do that, there will only be more problems, and you will have to deal with pressure from all sides.

For the current Rosen, the gains outweigh the losses.

If we start with the sea gateways in the north and south, there won’t be so many problems.

This is an inside-out and outside-in relationship.

The foreigners' strategies are basically the same as his, and they all see the complexity of the situation in the mainland.

Zhou Haishun was silent for a moment before asking his first question.

"What do you want me to do?"

Even though he was very curious about the origins of the Iron Man Martial Arts Association and Rosen.

But Zhou Haishun can still prioritize.

What the mysterious young man in front of him wants is the key to everything.

After hearing this question, Rosen replied with a smile.

"It's very simple, join the Iron Man Martial Arts Association and build a military port."

"Of course, this is an operation in the dark."

"Obviously you are still loyal to the Queen of England."

"There are many places suitable for building good harbors near Hong Kong."

He spoke his mind without mincing words.

Because Rosen saw that Zhou Haishun was a smart man.

It doesn’t take that much effort to communicate with smart people.

After getting a clear answer, Zhou Haishun fell silent again.

He lowered his head and pondered, and from time to time he would look at the tea leaves floating in the tea cup.

This is the best spiritual tea.

After brewing, it sinks but does not fall, and floats upright in the tea soup.

There is also a faint aura emanating from it, which makes you feel relaxed and happy even after taking a sip.

At this moment, Zhou Haishun felt that the floating tea leaves resembled his current situation.

"Okay, I will try my best to cooperate."

After about half a minute, he answered seriously.

Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Zhou Haishun knew that he had no choice.

It was a compromise to obey the foreigners at first, and it is also a compromise to obey Rosen now.

"Okay, that's best."

"I have plenty of money, and the construction is going on secretly."

"I know it's difficult to do this, but with your power in Xiangjiang, you can still do it if you put some effort into it."

Rosen said very understandingly.

Zhou Haishun just nodded.

Seeing him so resigned to his fate, Rosen's eyes were appreciative at first and then turned cold.

Haishun is not easy this week.

He will never be willing to be a puppet of foreigners, and he must have his own ambitions in his heart.

Those who can endure often have the potential to achieve great things.

At least this kind of character is enough for Rosen to give him a very bright score.

"Do you have any more questions?" he asked, staring into Zhou Haishun's eyes.

At this time, Zhou Haishun finally showed hesitation.

He seemed to be weighing his next question.

Finally decided to ask.

"What is the purpose of the Iron Man Martial Arts Association?"

"It's not for money, it's not for power, it's not for fame and fortune..."

"I can't see through..."

Zhou Haishun's tone was confused.

This question made Rosen lower his head slightly.

"To be stronger."

Perhaps knowing that this explanation would not make Zhou Haishun understand, he added.

“You can’t realize potential from a piece of loose sand.”

After saying these words, Zhou Haishun was thoughtful.

After another half minute of silence, he slowly spoke: "Do you want to integrate Tianqing? Or... the whole world?"

He was surprised at the guess he made.

Rosen stopped smiling.

"It seems that you are a very smart man."

"Whether it's a demon or Tianqing's body and soul."

"It's all about the pursuit of power."

"I am no exception."

“It’s just that I have bigger aspirations and ambitions.”

He spoke calmly, as if talking about a trivial matter.

After receiving this answer, Zhou Haishun's mouth opened and his eyes widened.

His face was full of disbelief.

This is simply a fantasy!

Even the first emperor of the year did not complete this career.

How dare the young man in front of me boast about Haikou?

Although Zhou Haishun knew very well that the young man in front of him definitely had a big secret and great ability.

But among all the strong men who can rise in this world, who doesn’t have his own methods and secrets?

Including Zhou Haishun, he has been carrying secrets for so many years.

Rosen knew what he was thinking and had no qualms about it.

Believe it or not, if you don't believe it, I will pull you down.

He just wants Zhou Haishun to do his job well.

"You don't have to worry about these things. You just have to follow my instructions."

"As long as you make the right move, you might be able to make back your capital with interest."

Rosen said pointedly, emphasizing but also leaving some suspense.

At the same time, it also brought Zhou Haishun out of shock and back to reality.

Remind him to pay attention to whose hands his current life is in!
