Chapter 281: The Fuse

Early the next morning, Jiang Chen sent Liu Yao to the plane.

Along the way, except for when he was in a taxi, Liu Yao kept holding Jiang Chen's arm, almost hanging the whole person on his body.

Such a "loving" appearance has attracted the attention of tourists and passers-by.

However, the reason why Liu Yao's posture is so greasy is not because of any reason for purity, but purely because Jiang Chen tossed her too much last night.

Until now, her calves were still trembling and swinging.

"Dead people. No, it's not like it's okay. barking, calling a puppy is considered to be surrender?" Accidentally stumbling, Liu Yao reached out and pinched Jiang Chen's waist in shame.

When she remembered that the puppy who was bullied by him last night barked and begged for mercy, her heart was full of shame.

"Haha, sorry, that voice was so ecstatic. Letting that jade hand squeeze around his waist, Jiang Chen smiled evilly, "Moreover, did I say that if you surrender, I will let you go?"

"Perverted, perverted. Strangely glanced at Jiang Chen, who had a hippie smile on his face, and Liu Yao stopped in front of the boarding gate.

Gently brushing the long hair between her ears, she used all her strength to stand firm and stand on tiptoe, and kissed Jiang Chen on the lips.

"Remember to miss me. ”

"Hmm. ”

There are no long goodbyes, everything is in plain sight.

Lifting the small suitcase, Liu Yao reluctantly left.

Watching the flight go away, Jiang Chen grinned and looked at the clouds in the distance, and the smile on his face gradually calmed down.

"Phew, the holidays are over, it's time to work. ”

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen walked in the direction outside the airport.

After leaving the airport, he did not go straight back to the hotel, but took a taxi to the suburbs.

In a park. Jiang Chen saw Zhang Yaping, who was wearing a black shirt and sitting on a bench looking around.

"Why do you choose to meet in the park? I'd rather sit in a café and order a cup of coffee and talk. Sitting on the other side of the bench, Jiang Chen said casually.

"For the sake of confidentiality. Zhang Yaping's expression looked a little nervous, but his voice was quite calm.

"You're thinking too much, this is New Zealand. It's not Panu. Looking at his nervous appearance, Jiang Chen sighed and said.

He had expected that the opposition in Panu would consider a week before giving him an answer, but now it seems that they can't wait.

"It's always good to be careful. ”

Regarding Zhang Yaping's statement, Jiang Chen just shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and then got to the point.

"Since you're here, your answer should be yes, am I right?"

"Yes, we have no choice. Zhang Yaping nodded. Said with difficulty.

"Before discussing the specifics of the aid. Can I know what prompted you to make your choice so quickly?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Zhang Yaping was silent for a moment.

"It's blood. ”

Under Jiang Chen's questioning, he slowly explained the truth of the matter.

Two days earlier, just after his return to the Panu Islands, the political situation had begun to deteriorate dramatically.

And all of this is because of the arrival of a Chinese national.

Wang Tianfeng, Linhua Group's business representative in the Panu Islands. The Chinese businessman seems to be familiar with Johnny. The two attended important occasions side by side and sat in a car to inspect the investment environment. In the end, a contract called the fuse was signed.

The coastal area of the main island of Koro, as well as most of the land of Garin Island, the second largest island, was sold to Johnny International by President Edward of Panu for US$5 per square meter, and the Linhua Group was converted into a tourism industry and various infrastructure. Only half of the $100 million in land sales went to the state treasury. The remaining $50 million went to Edward's private account in New Zealand.

Forced land expropriation has led to the loss of a large number of farmers and fishermen. The compensation of $2 per square meter is simply not enough to cover their losses.

Discontent led to protests, and hawks within the Liberal Party saw an opportunity to stand up bravely at this critical juncture. Farmers and fishermen who have lost their land were called on to march in front of the presidential palace to protest.

But would Edward care? There was no hope in this place, and his status was not as high as that of a New Zealand governor. With nearly $100 million, he's already worth it.

God, the annual GDP of the Panu Islands is barely $100 million, and the tax revenue is only $1 million.

With this money, he can go to any corner of the world to become a rich man after leaving office. Just go to England, he's an Englishman, he's never been there in his life.

However, just as he was trying to persuade the people to stay calm, an unlucky boy threw a rotten banana in his face.

Edward was furious.

Especially the unbridled laughter of the "natives", and the fact that they hugged the hero as if they were patting the warrior on the shoulder and hooking up with the young man.

In the next second, the young man collapsed in a pool of blood.

Everyone froze at the green smoke rising from the muzzles of the guards next to the president.

No one could have imagined that peaceful protests would turn into armed conflicts.

However, it was not just guns, but also tanks.

The flattened and round-headed "Chieftain" main battle tank was a British gift to the Panu authorities and the only heavy equipment on the island. In the 80s, Britain finally remembered this backward little brother and started negotiations with the Panu authorities to join the British Commonwealth. It just so happened that the British Army was redressed, and the Challenger I replaced the "Chieftain" installed in the 60s, so the Chieftain main battle tank, which had been eliminated, was given to the Panu authorities as a gift. Although the negotiations to join the Commonwealth eventually collapsed.

The people of Panu could not have imagined that an angry Edward would launch a violent crackdown on the demonstrators.

Blood stained the streets.

Guns forcibly drove the protesters away.

Fifteen people were killed, 57 were injured, and the leader of the march, the Panu Freedom Party, was subjected to bloody repression and arrest.

As for the promised compensation, Edward did not pay a penny.

"He's a devil. Zhang Yaping trembled with anger.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

"What's your plan?"

"We need $5 million to buy rifles, anti-tank weapons and ammunition. Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yaping said slowly.

"No problem, can you solve the weapon purchase channel?" Jiang Chen said softly.

"We contacted an American named Roberts—"

"No, no, no, it's better that you don't go around revealing these names. Including me, I don't want you to see anyone talking about the phrase 'Jiang Chen, the major shareholder of Futureman Technology, who funded us'. Jiang Chen hurriedly interrupted Zhang Yaping's words.

He was slightly stunned, then he nodded abruptly and said apologetically.

"Sorry, I didn't think it through. Hope you do."

"Of course I'll keep it a secret, when are you going to start planning. Jiang Chen said happily.

Everything is under control.

"It starts as soon as the funds arrive. Zhang Yaping said in a deep voice.

"Is there a plan?" Jiang Chen asked softly.

"We have gathered 400 insurgents, and after equipping ourselves with weapons, we will attack the military camp on the island of Koro. Once the armory is captured, we will arm more citizens with the armory's equipment. Edward, that scum, will definitely bear the wrath of the Panu people!" Zhang Yaping said through gritted teeth.

Seeing that this guy is rebelling for the first time, how can he casually reveal his plan.

Even in the face of management.

After hearing his plan, Jiang Chen just nodded, and then took out his mobile phone.

"The money has arrived, you can get started. ”

Zhang Yaping was stunned, he didn't expect Jiang Chen to pay so happily.

"You don't have to sign a contract or anything like that—"

"No, I don't. Jiang Chen waved his hand, "It's okay to talk to me after you win, I believe you will keep your promise." For the cause of freedom for all mankind, go, boy. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Chen patted him on the shoulder.

Zhang Yaping glanced at Jiang Chen gratefully and nodded solemnly.

"I will definitely keep my promise. The new government of Panu will not forget those who helped him. ”

"Alright, let's go. Jiang Chen waved his hand.

For a government in its infancy, contracts are no different from verbal promises. What's more, what Jiang Chen cared about was not at all what benefits this so-called new Panu government could bring him, but what benefits he could get from this civil war.

After watching Zhang Yaping catch a taxi and walk away, Jiang Chen got up from the park bench.

Instead of stuffing the phone back into his pocket, Jiang Chen called Roberts. (To be continued......)
