Chapter 793: People for Information
The camera pans violently, the crowd is running and fleeing, the armoured vehicles that keep firing drive past the main road, and heavily armed soldiers desperately push the crowd behind them, urging unrelated people to evacuate from the street.
Just then, a rocket hit the armored car. Then, the frame is cut off violently and switches to another shot.
Jiang Chen noticed that the word live was marked in the upper right corner of the screen.
It seems to be still live.
"Where is this?" Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
These days, he has been worrying about global express and future mining, and has not paid much attention to international news.
Natasha didn't answer, just raised her chin at the TV. Soon, the white reporter in the news screen answered Jiang Chen's question in English like a cannon.
"We are now in the city of Istanbul, and the footage we have just taken is footage of the exchange of fire between the rebels and the government forces. For security reasons, we couldn't go any further. We are now only a kilometer from the front line, from where government tanks drove over ten minutes ago. The bullet holes in the wall behind me are the traces left by the tank coaxial machine gun when it strafed the rebels! According to officials in Istanbul, the Turkish government forces have the upper hand at present, but according to the front-line soldiers, the situation is not as optimistic as the politicians say......
Placing the crystal bottle on the table, Natasha let out a sigh and interjected.
"It's not that it's not optimistic, it's very unoptimistic. At this level, this is no longer a coup d'Γ©tat, but a civil war. β
"What did you do?" Jiang Chen looked at Natasha with a strange expression.
As far as he knows, relations between Russia and Turkey seem to have been not very friendly, especially when Turkey shot down a Russian fighter plane two and a half years ago, which brought the relationship between the two countries to a freezing point, and it is only a line away from meeting each other.
"Not us. Coups in Turkey are simply as frequent as eating and drinking, and you can't count every single one of them on our heads. Natasha knew what Jiang Chen was thinking, and waved her hand, "We're just going to pick up our people back." However, when we were on a mission, we found that things were not as simple as we imagined. β
"Why did you find you? I remember you left the front line. Jiang Chen asked.
"Because it was my boss who was in charge of this case, the KGB was a little short of manpower, and he had searched for all the people he could mobilize. Natasha sighed, brushing her bangs behind her head with some distraction, "We had some trouble at the border, and we almost couldn't come back." β
From this sentence "I almost can't come back", Jiang Chen felt the heaviness in her words.
"At first we thought it was just an ordinary coup d'Γ©tat, just a little bit stronger than the previous ones. As she spoke, Natasha's fingers ran over the wet ice wine bottle and dipped it in water to write and draw on the coffee table, "Until we found the symbol in the personal belongings of a rebel general." β
It was a pyramid, and the part at the top of the tower was an eye.
Of course, Jiang Chen would not fail to recognize this symbol.
The "V" shaped ruler and the G sandwiched between the book are the symbols of Freemasonry.
"Freemasonry ......"
"That's right," Natasha snapped her fingers, "after all, Freemasonry has always been the focus of the KGB, and we looked into it and found out that the officer was a peripheral member of Freemasonry, a supporter of the secularization movement in Turkey. β
As she spoke, Natasha reached out and picked up the wine bottle, leaned close to her lips and took a sip, shaking the clear liquor, looking at Jiang Chen, who was deep in thought.
"I heard that the situation in the Philippines is not peaceful?"
"That's right," Jiang Chen didn't hide it, since Natasha mentioned it, then she must already know something inside, "The arms race between the Philippines and Moro has begun, even if the Philippine Army crosses the ceasefire line tomorrow, I won't be surprised." β
Natasha grinned, "Really? It seems that the global situation has reached a considerable level of tension. Don't talk about that, you definitely didn't come to me to hear my story, did you?"
"Evelyn is on the island of Koro. Jiang Chen said straight to the point.
"It's actually in your hands," the red lips opened and closed in surprise, Natasha glanced at Jiang Chen unexpectedly, her crossed legs swapped places, and she muttered to herself thoughtfully, "No wonder we couldn't find him, it turned out that he was controlled by you." β
It seems that the Russians are also interested in the state of affairs in Germany. β
"Of course, Germany is our number one trading country in Europe," Natasha looked at Jiang Chen with a smile, "I guess you definitely wouldn't have deliberately leaked this news to me." Say, what are your conditions?"
"Evelyn for you, I need all your information about Freemasonry!"
"All the information? You have a big appetite, do you know how much information we have about them? If it were all written on A4 paper, it would fill an entire archive. The largest underground organization in the world, we have been watching them since the time of Stalin. Natasha looked at Jiang Chen with a playful expression, "You plan to exchange a former German vice chancellor for us?"
Jiang Chen was not discouraged by Natasha's vague answer, and then spoke.
"Let me be clear, are Freemasonry your enemies or friends?"
"The last century was the enemy. β
"So are we," Jiang Chen looked into Natasha's eyes seriously, "We are also enemies of Freemasonry. Am I wrong when I say that the enemy of my enemy is my friend? Whether in Ukraine or Germany, the Masonic dominant order has always run counter to Russia's interests. In the same way, their position on Mindanao is irreconcilably opposed to ours. In that case, we can stand on the same front in the face of the same enemy! This is not an exchange of interests, this is a helping hand to our allies, do you know what I mean?"
Natasha fell silent, her index finger on her bright red lips, thinking about what Jiang Chen said.
"I can't make a decision, I'll give you an answer the day after tomorrow at the latest. β
Picking up the wine bottle from the table, Jiang Chen toasted to her from afar, and said with a smile: "Convey my words to the Kremlin for me as they are." β
"Here's what I've drunk. β
"But the wine is mine!"
The clock hanging on the wall pointed to half-past twelve, and Aisha walked out of the kitchen with a delicious meal and into the dining room next to the living room. Even from a distance, you can smell the enticing fragrance.
Seeing that it was not early, Jiang Chen got up and invited with a smile.
"It's not early, let's leave after dinner. β
"Let's go?" Natasha raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I'll live here." β-
