It's December, and you won't feel the slightest winter atmosphere in the Panu Islands, where the seasons are like summer, while the wasteland of Wanghai City is already covered in snow. Unlike previous years, the entire Wanghai City no longer has much of a post-apocalyptic feeling.

In these days, Jiang Chen would occasionally go back to the end of the world to take a look, after all, there were too many people there that he couldn't let go. However, because the situation here has stabilized, he has not stayed here as long as before.

Occasionally, he accompanied the girls to eat together, "exchanged feelings" with Sun Jiao, picked sister flowers, took a bath with Yao Yao, and bullied Lin Ling. It's just that if you stay in that villa, you won't feel the atmosphere of the end times at all.

Throughout the urban area on the west side of the Huangpu River, you can see checkpoints set up by NAC everywhere. Standing on a high place and looking up, you can occasionally see the Yunzhi-51 patrolling the sky, or the Aurora-20 whizzing by. In terms of control of Wanghai City, NAC has an absolute advantage.

NAC diplomats are currently negotiating with the town of Liuding to include the east bank of the Huangpu River in the "scope of protection."

The Bohai's "Angry Waves" shipborne electromagnetic cannon can hit Luzhou from the mouth of the Yangtze River, not only has a terrifying range of 450 kilometers, but also can fire 10-400kg mass bullets, which can be described as the best among heavy support naval guns. Whether it is the Bohai or the technology of the ship's gun, Jiang Chen is determined to win.

If it can be resolved through negotiation, then through negotiation, and if it cannot be resolved through negotiation, then by force.

That's the rule of the wasteland.

On the other hand, the radioactive clean-up and crater filling in the city center are almost complete. Although gamma levels are still high, people entering the area no longer need to wear nuclear protective suits, and can walk in the city center using only iodine or anti-radiation drugs stored in the EP.

And because of climatic factors such as snowfall and ice. The Garden of Eden project next to Dianshan Lake has come to a standstill for the time being.

Jiashi occasionally encountered xenos migrating eastward, but with the First Corps led by Cheng Weiguo stationed here, and checkpoints deployed along the way, Jiang Chen was not worried that those xenos would sneak into Wanghai City to build nests.

This year's winter has been peaceful.

Because of the existence of NAC, there were no more accidents in Wanghai City.

On the other hand, the international situation is a bit turbulent.

The first was South Asia, with the intensification of the Moro independence movement. The fighting has engulfed the whole of Mindanao and has a tendency to spread to Samar Island. At the end of November, the guerrillas launched a large-scale military operation against the city of Davao. and successfully dismantled 1 light infantry division and 1 light armored brigade stationed there. Santos, the leader of the Moro Nation, announced through a video on social media that the civil war has entered its second phase and that Davao City will serve as the capital of the Moro Nation.

At the beginning, Jiang Chen just funded Santos with a disgusting Philippine attitude, but he didn't expect this guy to actually make this independence movement impressive. Now he even has his own capital.

And the reason why they are able to get to the point where they are now. On the one hand, it is because the fighting quality of the Philippine soldiers is not high, which can be seen from the performance of the hostages when they were rescued. On the other hand, because it coincided with the change of US administration, the largest ally of the Philippines did not intervene in the civil war, but only did symbolic diplomatic work and sold them some weapons cheaply.

Seeing the prospect of the independence of the Moro Nation, Jiang Chen immediately changed his initial decision and continued to provide them with funding after they used up the batch of arms and materials.

Of course. These grants were not gratuitous, but were exchanged for ownership of mineral deposits or mined ore in guerrilla-controlled areas. For this reason, Jiang Chen also instructed Bakari to register a shell company in Australia. Specialized in taking over ore from the Moro side and selling arms to them. The ore of unknown origin will be shipped to factories in New Guinea for processing, some of which will be sold to the international market, and some of which will be "sold" to the Star Ring Trade on a left-handed to right-handed basis.

This trick of reselling ore is the same as the method of reselling IS crude oil in Tuji Country, and Jiang Chen did it without a trace. With the support of the Crescent Island radar station, the ore smuggling transport ships can dodge all the Philippine coast guard ships and warships that blockade Mindanao as if they have eyes. Regardless of the Philippine side's anger, the guerrillas' supplies have never been cut off.

It is worth mentioning that it is the United States arms companies that supply weapons to the shell companies registered in Bakari. In order to avoid being tracked by the FBI, all arms orders were paid for in gold.

And then there's Europe.

The refugee problem continues to heat up, pushing the whole of Europe to a crossroads. EU countries are deeply divided on whether to completely ban refugees from entering Europe. Among them are France, Germany, and Belgium, which have suffered greatly from terrorism, and there are also Britain that are lying on the table and threatening to leave the European Union, and there are also Greece, which is playing hooligan at the negotiation table, "If you don't buy my national debt, I will open the door to refugees......

It is difficult to say whether the disagreement is due to distrust or the distrust that arises from disagreement, fueled by an invisible hand, the cracks in the otherwise stable European Union have appeared visible to the naked eye.

Negotiations between countries have been fruitless, but a wave of protests has erupted in various countries. Many extremists have finally lost their minds and, instigated by people with ulterior motives, have begun to attack innocent refugees, threatening revenge and responding to terror with cruelty.

In this chaotic situation, the AfD is quietly rising, while the ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has been declining. The fact that the extreme right-wing forces have gained a voice in German politics has added fuel to this chaos......

"War is never a good idea, but weapons are. Ivan, do you understand what I mean?"

Standing in the fighter hangar on Crescent Island, Jiang Chen squinted at the Aurora-20 that had just entered the warehouse, and said casually to Ivan beside him.

"Sorry, I don't quite understand. The veteran shook his head honestly.

"Only when both sides think at the same time that the other side has enough weapons to kill them will both sides sit down and speak honestly. ”

Ivan grinned, for Jiang Chen's words, he naturally agreed with him who had been a soldier since the Soviet era. But why the boss suddenly said this, he still didn't quite understand.

However, Jiang Chen did not continue on this topic, but looked at the pilot who was sitting in the cockpit and was familiar with the equipment.

The official entry into service of the first Aurora-20 fighter jet fills the gap in the Air Force field of Transwarp trade. Although it is not the most advanced technology in the last days, its strength has also reached the peak of the fifth-generation fighter.

The first flight of the Aurora-20 was carried out by the pilot with the highest score in the training program. The Aurora-20 piloting equipment is highly intelligent, including take-off, landing, cruise, and even ground attack, and actions can be completed by intelligent programs.

From this point of view alone, the semi-intelligent control mode has already put it in the ranks of quasi-sixth-generation fighters.

It is precisely for this reason that a month and a half of training time is enough for these pilots to complete their training in the sky.

After watching the ignition of the aircraft engine and completing the flight tasks such as vertical take-off and landing, run-up take-off and landing, and cruising around the national border, Jiang Chen personally awarded the medal to the pilot. After the first flight ceremony, Jiang Chen walked around the barracks as usual, showed his face in front of these young men who were loyal to him, and then returned to Koro Island.

There is also a product launch conference waiting for him in the afternoon.

Before this press conference that is destined to go down in history, he still needs to prepare a little-

(I don't want to be blown up. )
