Chapter 1021: The U.S. Response
“…… Rescue successful?"
When Jiang Chen called up the holographic screen of his watch and threw the window in front of Natasha, Natasha was stunned for a moment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Didn't you give me a list last night?" Jiang Chen reminded with a smile.
Natasha's blue eyes widened, and she looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief, "This ...... So fast?"
Aisha curled the corners of her mouth triumphantly and did not speak.
But those talking eyes vividly depicted the pride she wanted to express.
"We are privately owned, and we focus more on efficiency than on means. Jiang Chen said with a smile, removed the holographic screen, and put away his watch, "Now you can rest assured that the most critical person has been saved, and our people will move him to a safe place." Whether you withdraw from the country or move to another place to continue working, the rest of the trouble will be left to your people. ”
If Mario is caught, Russian spies and informants throughout the city of Kyiv will not be able to sleep. Even if he is a man and does not admit a word even if he is tortured, those informants who do not know whether they will be confessed are also very likely to become informants and defect to the Ukrainian government.
If such a thing happens, it will be a heavy loss for the Russian Security Service, and at the same time, Russia's national image will be overshadowed by the espionage scandal.
Speaking of which, these ghost agents who went to save people were originally sent by Jiang Chen to Ukraine to find her. It's just that before they had time to come in handy in terms of finding people, Skalov, who escaped from the hands of the Willy Society, told Jiang Chen the location of the meeting.
"The Russian Federal Security Service owes you a favor. Natasha looked at Jiang Chen's eyes and said deeply.
"What about you?" Jiang Chen said half-jokingly.
"Me?" Natasha bent the corners of her mouth and looked at Jiang Chen with a smile, "I gave you my whole person, what more do you want?"
After successfully crossing the Russian-Ukrainian border, Aisha showed her ID to the sentry at the checkpoint when passing through the Russian checkpoint, and was quickly released. The group parked the car in a Russian town next to the border, and Jiang Chen found a restaurant owned by a local and ordered a table full of dishes.
Compared to his time in Moscow, no one seemed to recognize his face in such a remote area, and his Oriental face surprised them more than his identity. The Russians who usually come and go here the most, that is, those who have fled from Ukraine, there are no tourist attractions here, and there is no shadow of foreigners at all year round.
There were few customers in the restaurant, and a sumptuous lunch was quickly served.
The big leba in the basket was much harder and more salty than what Jiang Chen had eaten in Moscow, and the borscht in the bowl was much fresher. At the end, the stewed meat soup is even more fragrant, and it is very appetizing just by looking at it.
After the three of them swept away their lunch like a storm, Jiang Chen left the banknotes on the table, and didn't bother to wait for the boss to get the change, the extra money was used as a tip for him, turned around and went out first and returned to the car, and the group continued to hurry.
After crossing the border, Jiang Chen felt that his whole body was relaxed. Although it is in a hurry, because they are now on the Russian side, the three of them no longer need to worry about being caught by the Ukrainian army, and Aisha's driving speed can naturally slow down a little.
If nothing else, the trio should be able to reach Voronesh, the capital of the Lipetsk region, before dark. There was an international airport there, and Jiang Chen's private plane had flown there from Moscow.
Because of the bad premonition that always lingered in his heart, Jiang Chen didn't want to stay here for a moment, and planned to get on the plane back to China early tomorrow morning, and even canceled the original plan to inspect the military base established by the 1st and 2nd Orbital Airborne Brigades.
As for Natasha, she had to go back to Moscow first.
After watching her repeatedly swear that she would never do the stupid thing of risking her life again, Jiang Chen believed her.
When he was in the car, Jiang Chen received a long-distance call from Ivan.
After the news of Transwarp Trade's deployment of two orbital airborne brigades in Ukraine spread, it caused an international uproar. The European Union and the United States expressed shock and skepticism about the use of space elevators for military purposes, but did not react much to Transwarp Trade and Russia's involvement in the civil war in Ukraine.
After all, the latter is only a strategic interest, and the former is a matter of national security.
The United States immediately dispatched an additional airborne brigade and two B2 bombers to the Guam military base on the grounds of strategic balance. However, this move did not cause dissatisfaction among the new countries, but instead stimulated the Chinese countries, which are also in the Asia-Pacific region.
"Let them deploy and ignore them. Without flexing their muscles, they can't account for their own people. As for the strategic threat, if we can reduce the White House and the Statue of Liberty to ruins in 10 minutes, they will not pose a threat to us even if they stuff an armored division into that sesame area of Guam. If you overreact at this time, it will easily make them nervous. Ignore them, and if they deploy them, as long as they don't cross the line, we should not see them. After listening to Ivan's report, Jiang Chen said with a smile on the phone.
"Then I'll have the Guardian-class frigates cruising the waters between the Panu Islands and Guam withdrawn?" Ivan asked.
"So be it...... Four Guardian-class ships were dispatched to carry out a live-fire military exercise in the waters near Anga Island to demonstrate the high-precision long-range strike capability of our Type 50 electromagnetic gun. We can't completely ignore them for a while, and we have to flex our muscles appropriately, at least to reassure the people. But don't irritate them, as for the landing drill, there is no need. ”
"Yes!"
Ivan's answer was neat.
Jiang Chen's orders have always been strictly implemented, and he has never been good at asserting ideas where he is not sure, and these advantages are also what he reassures Jiang Chen the most. As a commander, you should have your own opinions, but you can also distinguish the primary and secondary relationship between your opinions and orders.
What Jiang Chen needed was not a marshal who could fight well, but a general who could carry out his orders without discount. As for the combat effectiveness of the army, these can be compensated for by high-tech equipment, can civilized people still use Sun Tzu's Art of War to fight natives?
As long as he didn't fight to the death to provoke a full-scale war with a few superpowers that no one could afford, Jiang Chen never considered the possibility of losing.
When the sun had almost set, the group finally arrived in the city of Voronezh. After finding a hotel to stay in, Jiang Chen wanted to call Admiral Nikolaev and tell him that his daughter was safe, but he didn't expect the phone to ring for a long time and not get through, so he had to give up. Then Jiang Chen called the head of the Russian Security Service again, told him that he was now in Voronesh City, and then hung up the phone.
After staying in the hotel, Natasha rushed into the bathroom as soon as possible, she hadn't taken a shower for three days, and she was naturally a little overwhelmed at the moment. Aisha helped Jiang Chen call the front desk, and after calling a food truck to go upstairs, she skillfully checked whether there was any eavesdropping equipment in the room.
Jiang Chen, who had nothing to do, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV casually.
It just so happened that the international news channel was shown on the TV.
The content of the screening happened yesterday morning, more than 300 kilometers away in Ukraine.
(A lot of people are asking, let's say, Morningstar plays a general, not a mage, and the mage is ranged, and Morningstar prefers melee combat and can just be head-on.) (To be continued.) )
