"Yes, I see. β
Carmen Rothschild hung up the phone, dropped the phone on the table, picked up the goblet with the red wine on the table, and looked out the window to the garden. The snow has just fallen, the edge of the window is dotted with small ice picks, and the garden is covered with white velvet, and you can feel the peace of winter just by looking at it.
This is Rothschild's estate in Finland.
Yes, he is not in Switzerland at all, but in Finland in Northern Europe.
And just half an hour ago, a fire broke out in the Pilsen church in the south of the Czech Republic, and all thirteen Freemasons of the 33rd Degree who were holding a secret meeting were killed, and none survived!
Looking at the reflection on the window glass, Carmen's fingers tapped lightly on the glass, listening to the crisp sound and falling into deep thought.
Sure enough, his hunch was correct.
The Visionary Group has a special method of interrogation, and it is likely that the brain of the interrogated person can be scanned directly through some kind of device similar to a phantom helmet.
When Kamut lost his hand in North America, he realized that the Masonic meeting place had been exposed. Even if the gatekeeper was loyal enough, news reports indicate that he was killed on the spot when the security forces of the new country rescued the hostages, but Carmen had to prepare for the worst.
Sighing, Carmen drank the wine from her glass, shaking the remaining red wine in the glass, and a smile suddenly appeared on her lips. Looking at the reflection that belonged to him, he whispered to himself.
"It's better to be dead. β
He could also guess that this defeat would inevitably lead to a rapprochement within Freemasonry with the Future Ones.
Although the thirteen families are united by common interests, as long as they are merchants, they will weigh the pros and cons. However, weakness has always been the most naΓ―ve thought. People keep repeating the same mistakes, and they have already made them once in World War II. If it weren't for the allies of North America, they might have been lost to the dust of history by now.
It's okay to be dead.
For a family of Rothschild's level, the death of an heir or head of the family is just a matter of being in a hurry for a while. A machine is never completely scrapped because a gear is broken, and even if he dies, the Rothschilds will not collapse.
As long as the direct family members do not die cleanly, the death of an heir of the thirteen families or something is no different from the death of a president of the United States.
If hatred can extinguish all unrealistic thoughts and retwist the wavering Freemasonic hierarchy into a rope, the cost of thirteen lives is nothing.
Of course, Carmen also admits that there is selfishness in it.
His younger brother, James Rothschild, had always been reluctant to be an honest rich man, and showed enthusiasm for family affairs that did not fit his identity. It would be a good thing if we could get rid of him with the help of the Future People Group.
"Johnson, you're ready to go. β
Having drained the wine from her glass, Carmen rested her glass on the windowsill and turned to walk to the door.
His bodyguard, Dwayne Johnson, stood in the doorway like a tower of steel, no expression visible on his swarthy face. When Carmen passed by, he turned and followed.
"Where are we going?"
"Go to Europe and clean up the pieces. β
By the way, take back the position of the lord.
Putting on her coat and stepping into the snow outside the manor, Carmen turned her back to the northern manor and walked in the direction of the garage with Johnson as she followed. The pupils reflected the snowflakes flying in the sky, and there was no superfluous expression on that angular face.

"Success?"
"Yes. β
"I see. β
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
After using the truth to torture Kamut about the location of the Masonic meeting, he immediately announced to the outside world that the hostage crisis had been lifted, and released the news to the media that more than a dozen "terrorists", including Kamut, had been killed on the spot, so as to paralyze the vigilance of the Freemasons.
Spectre agents stationed in Europe immediately traveled to the Czech Republic and set up eyeliner near Poulsen Church to closely monitor Freemasonry movements. Finally, this morning, the Freemasons held a secret meeting of the members of the thirty-third degree. Seizing the opportunity, the ghost agent acted decisively and burned the entire church in a sea of flames......
"Did anything good happen?" Kerwin looked at Jiang Chen.
"Sort of. Putting away his phone, Jiang Chen set his eyes on the big screen located in the center of the space launch center. When he learned that there was a major progress in the space elevator project, he didn't have time to go back to the villa to take a shower after getting off the plane, so he couldn't wait to come here.
From the footage, you can see a group of pioneer robots pulled by graphene cables, quietly floating on a synchronous track, around a giant ring, methodically carrying out construction work.
The entire space station is already taking shape. The ring as a counterweight has even been completed, and as the graphene orbit is gradually completed, the ring will gradually move outward, keeping the center of gravity of the entire space elevator in a synchronous orbit.
"With the help of the Pioneer robots, we were able to do a lot faster. The rockets launched into the sky no longer need to carry supplies, saving a lot of capacity at the Cosmodrome and saving a lot of budget for the entire project. Looking at the magnificent project on the screen, Kerwin's face was full of smugness, and he explained to Jiang Chen.
"I just care about how long it will take to finish?" Jiang Chen asked.
"The space station is 90% complete, and the graphene orbit has been fully transported to outer space, and when the space station is completed, the orbit can be gradually spliced onto the space station. By mid-December at the latest, the entire space elevator could be completed!" Kerrwin replied in an excited tone.
Is it the middle of December, that is, only one and a half months at most?
Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but nod with relief.
When this "highway" to space is completed, the space colonization plan of the Star Ring Trade can also be fully launched.
The lunar colony has now expanded to 50 people, double the size of a month ago. The lunar ice drilling wells and lunar soil collection stations deployed on the periphery of the colony have also been much larger than before. Based on the information provided by Jiang Chen, scientists in the colony have designed a helium-3 collection program. At present, the reserves of helium-3 in the colony have reached 2 kilograms, and if all of them are used for fusion reaction with deuterium to generate electricity, it will be enough for the entire new country for four years.
In addition, Kerrwin also reported good news to Jiang Chen.
The first baby cabbage grown on Moon Farm has matured and is on the table of lunar colonists for the first time after harvest. This breakthrough means that the lunar colony has already achieved initial self-sufficiency in food. While it is still quite difficult to completely wean ourselves from imports from the earth at the moment, this breakthrough is undoubtedly exciting enough.
This means that people are no longer just a dream of going further...... (To be continued.) )
