Chapter 824: Weapons and Alliances
It's the middle of July, and although it's summer all year round, it's still a little hotter at this time of year because it's south of the equator line. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since Natasha revealed to Jiang Chen that Freemasonry would send "gatekeepers" to Asia, Jiang Chen has reduced unnecessary travel. Although he was not worried that someone could pose a threat to him on this island, he still took the matter to heart a little at Aisha's strong request.
At the same time, the ghost agents also launched an investigation into the so-called "gatekeepers". Unfortunately, not everything can be solved simply and crudely by relying on technology. So far, the ghost agents have not been able to locate the gatekeeper.
The Future People Group has withdrawn from European industries, the EU economy has been overshadowed by local protectionism, Star Ring Trade's space activities are frequent, Turkey's civil war continues, and the situation in Mindanao has begun to deteriorate......
The atmosphere of the Philippine and Moroccan armies facing each other in Mindanao has reached a state of tension that is on the verge of eruption. It is no exaggeration to say that war is likely to break out in the next second, and the reason may simply be that one of the sentries forgot to turn off the safety of his rifle.
And in terms of public opinion, the two sides did not skimp on the war of words at all.
Aquino IV accused Santos of high levels of corruption, unfair treatment of Filipinos living on Mindanao, and belated contempt for human rights by delaying the lifting of wartime regulations. Santos, in turn, accused that it was Aquino IV who had deployed tens of thousands of troops on the border and denied him the opportunity to lift the wartime regulations. The people of Mindanao must take up arms against the possible aggression.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the Philippines building momentum for the war.
……
In Davao Harbor in northern Mindanao, Jiang Chen, accompanied by more than a dozen bodyguards wearing mechanical exoskeletons, stepped off the Gulfstream private jet. Standing next to him, in addition to the bodyguards, there was also Aisha, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and her eyes behind her electronic sunglasses were always scanning the edge of the airport evenly.
In the current situation, Jiang Chen is of course not here to travel, but to make a deal with Russia.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Chen met with a Russian officer, Shatov, who had also gone to a warehouse in southern Mindanao that belonged to Star Ring Trade.
This burly Russian, both in face and demeanor, looked very tense, and after seeing Jiang Chen, he neatly stretched out his right hand.
"Nice to meet you. Introduce yourself, my name is very long, and you can call me Mr. Shatov or Lieutenant Colonel Shatov according to the Chinese language. ”
Contrary to Jiang Chen's expectations, this Russian spoke Chinese very well, and even had a bit of a northeastern accent.
After shaking hands with him, Jiang Chen also made a brief self-introduction.
Jiang Chen, chairman of Transwarp Trading. ”
Shatov nodded and said straight to the point.
"I heard that you are planning to make a deal with us, and the Kremlin takes it very seriously. So, what exactly is your proposal?"
"Send two more divisions into the Crimean peninsula, I hope you will put pressure on the EU on the Ukrainian issue. Jiang Chen said.
Shatov was stunned, he obviously did not expect such an abrupt request. Ukraine is NATO's bottom line on Eastern Europe, and if Russia continues to advance, it is highly likely to ignite a powder keg for the whole of Eastern Europe.
A head-on collision with Russia is not in the interests of Western countries such as NATO, but equally, Russia does not want to scuffle with its enemies right now. After all, no matter from which point of view, if a war really breaks out, the Russian army will not have a big chance of winning.
"Comrade Brzezinski once said that Russia, without Ukraine, will not be able to become a great power. I don't believe you'll be willing to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it's right in front of you. Jiang Chen looked at Shatov's eyes and suddenly smiled, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about the remuneration." ”
"With all due respect, I'm afraid your proposal won't hold. Shatov replied helplessly.
"Not necessarily. Jiang Chen said, snapping his fingers at the bodyguard next to him.
That understood the meeting of bodyguards, and walked towards the soldiers in the handle warehouse. After a brief explanation, the two soldiers standing guard turned around and quickly opened the door of the warehouse.
A dry breath came to his face, and looking at the dark warehouse, Shatov frowned slightly.
"Come with me. Jiang Chen smiled slightly, and took the lead in walking towards which warehouse.
Shatov hesitated, then stepped forward.
From the outside, this warehouse looks very inconspicuous, but when he enters the warehouse, he is surprised to find that it is surprisingly large inside. Soon the soldier turned on the light, and the incandescent light on the top illuminated the interior space. Shatov squinted at the lonely thing lying in the middle of the warehouse.
"What is this?" Shatov stepped forward and reached out and knocked on the tubular thing.
"Do you remember the Madagascar incident that happened last month?" Jiang Chen smiled.
Shatov's pupils contracted slightly, and he withdrew his hand.
"This is a nuclear weapon?"
"No, it's a conventional weapon. Jiang Chen said with a smile as he walked over to the round tubular device, "But it's just that his power is more amazing than that of a nuclear weapon, especially for modern society." ”
When Jiang Chen said this, Shatov didn't realize what he meant for a while. But when he chewed repeatedly, his expression suddenly became quite exciting, and his fingers trembled.
"Could it be...... Could it be that this is the electromagnetic pulse weapon!"
"That's right, we call it an EMP, and it's a strategic-level EMP, slightly larger than the one used on Mayotte. Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, his finger dotted on the round tube, "The combat parts of the Sword Crusher-1 can be mounted on an intercontinental missile. With just one shot, 100,000 square kilometers of unprotected electronic equipment can be discarded indiscriminately, leaving no pollution. ”
Having said this, Jiang Chen stopped talking, looked at Shatov, who was frozen there, and smiled.
"Now, do you still think my proposal won't hold?"
“…… Are you willing to sell us the technology for this weapon?"
"We never sell technology, but we do love to sell products. 10 Swordcriminer-1 combat parts, you should be enough. Jiang Chen said.
EMP weapons are laboratory weapons in any country, but with the exception of high-altitude nuclear explosions, no one has developed an "environmentally friendly" method of electromagnetic pulse excitation. If this Sword Breaker-1 is really as powerful as Jiang Chen said, its existence will completely reverse the situation in which the Russian army lacks confidence in the face of NATO.
“…… I can't give you a definitive answer, but I'll ask the Kremlin for instructions. Shatov replied cautiously.
"No problem, I look forward to getting good news the next time I meet you. Jiang Chen said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
