Volume 1, Pot of Gold, Chapter 655, Northern Shadows

Next chapter

At the beginning of September, because of the federal dumping incident, Jiang Chen's return was postponed by a month. With the end of the federal election, the turmoil has returned to calm.

Under Ji Yucheng's leadership, the Federation and the NAC re-signed a closer alliance agreement, marking that the whole of Hongcheng has come under the control of the NAC.

Jiang Chen personally went to United City and visited the commercial center of this legendary Jiangyou Province (the ancients took the west as the right).

To be honest, after witnessing the true face of United City, the gap in his heart is still quite large. This city, known for its freedom and prosperity, is indeed much more prosperous than Qingshan Town, but it is still much inferior to the sixth district of Wanghai City.

However, after inspecting the local industry, he found a lot of interesting things.

The molecular filter screening technology in Hezhong City is much more advanced than that in Wanghai City, so it is no wonder that their nutritional price is much cheaper than that of other places.

There are also transgenic varieties of Camu trees, not only the quality of resin is not inferior to that of Shenxiang Town, but the yield per plant is more than 20%. There are also service machines, AI for people, improved graphene production technology, and so on......

And with the federal integration under the control of the NAC, these strictly secret technologies also flowed into the territory of the NAC along the trade routes.

From this point of view alone, the price paid for annexing the Federation is not a loss.

Accompanying Jiang Chen on the business inspection was Wu Qian of the Steel Gear Chamber of Commerce.

As seen by the Federation, Wu Qian used his excellent diplomatic skills to resolve the contradictions between the Federation merchants and the NAC, and moved towards cooperation with the ice and the previous suspicions. And the fact that the leaders of both sides can walk side by side has successfully demonstrated this.

Of course, the relationship between the two is far from being as simple as ordinary people see.

In the past few days of inspection in United City, Jiang Chen walked out of her private mansion every morning refreshed.

And in the past few days, Wu Qian has come to the Chamber of Commerce every day with dark circles under her eyes, and she frequently wanders when she is in office and meetings, looking overworked. However, employees in the Chamber of Commerce. No one noticed that the female boss was abnormal, but mistakenly thought that she was working day and night for the company, which led to the lack of sleep......

I don't know if those who look forward to her figure know that she is viciously molested by a certain man every night. Teach. What exactly will it be like to collapse.

Jiang Chen occasionally thought so evilly.

But whenever he mentioned it in her ear, Wu Qian desperately "begged" him not to do it, otherwise her image would be completely ruined and she would never be able to see anyone again.

Of course Jiang Chen wouldn't really do this, after all, he also needed Wu Qian as a spokesperson. Maintain the stable operation of the Steel Gear Chamber of Commerce for him. Anyway, he bought this company for hundreds of thousands of credits, so it's a pity that it's so ruined.

But that doesn't stop him from talking.

To be honest, looking at the messy expression on her face and the appearance of begging for mercy, the S side of Jiang Chen's heart was completely developed.

Of course, this may also have something to do with Wu Qian himself being a shaker.

……

Ghost. Animal matters aside.

On the last day of the investigation, Jiang Chen found Ji Yucheng in the presidential palace in United City.

Seeing him again at this moment, there is no longer any decadent temperament from his body. Dressed in a clean suit, his hair was combed into a proper appearance, and he was followed by a chief of staff.

Former President Jamin just after the election. He fled from the United City in disgrace and fled away with his back to Hongcheng. He knew very well that once he lost power, Ji Yucheng, who was plotted by himself, would definitely not let him go.

And his former chief of staff, Xu Chengwei, was not so lucky.

Because he was two steps late, he was immediately found to have an improper transaction with Liu Hong, the former president of the Steel Gear Chamber of Commerce, and was imprisoned by the prosecutor of the court pending trial. The president of the court has already made a deal with Ji Yu, and it is impossible not to sentence him to ten or twenty years.

Having tasted the taste of power, Ji Yucheng is naturally loyal to Jiang Chen. Because he knows very well that everything he enjoys now is because of this man. If that person wants to lose this qiē for themselves. It's just a matter of one sentence.

Jia Ming, who fled in the wilderness, and Xu Chengwei, who was imprisoned, are a lesson from the past.

"Currently, we are discussing a proposal to join the NAC Economic Zone. We have already explained to the population that this is not a surrender to the NAC. Nor is it ruled by the NAC, but just a means to promote cooperation between the two sides. NAC businessmen will have easier access to the Federation to invest, and we will no longer have to pay for national defense, and the saved military spending can be used to do more and more meaningful things. ”

"Is anyone against it?" Jiang Chen asked casually.

"Of course...... But very little," Ji Yucheng rolled his eyes. Ten fingers crossed on the table and said in an affirmative tone, "We'll convince them." ”

"Don't be so nervous," Jiang Chen took a sip of tea with a smile and leaned back on the sofa, "I said I would make you president, and now it's been realized." I also said that as long as you are obedient, you can always sit in this position. ”

"Of course, I trust you, I'm just a little unused to it." President Ji let out a sigh, and his tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

"Do your best to get used to it."

"I will."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded, paused for a moment, and then asked.

"Have you investigated a bit about who sent the letter?"

Regarding who leaked the password to the Federation, Jiang Chen was still very curious.

Since it's not Dr. Sun, who is associated with Vault 72? The survivor of the "disaster" in Sun Jiao's mouth? The mastermind who planned that attack? Or somebody else.

"There are already eyebrows. We ...... from Xu Chengwei's mouth That is, the former president's chief of staff pried some information out of his mouth and used some special means. Ji Yucheng smiled.

"Okay, I'm too lazy to ask you about the details of your interrogation, to get to the point." Jiang Chen waved his hand impatiently.

Seeing the impatient expression on Jiang Chen's face, Ji Yucheng immediately replied.

"People from the Northern Coalition District."

"United Nations Area...... Have they already reached here? Jiang Chen frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was lost in thought, Ji Yucheng didn't dare to disturb him, so he waited silently for him to speak again.

"What about those people?"

"People?"

"People from the Northern Coalition District." Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

Ji Yucheng shook his head regretfully.

"I sent someone to track down their whereabouts, but the clue was cut off ten days ago...... They had checked out of Daddy Claw's Inn in United City ten days earlier, and they had not been seen since. ”

Daddy of the Claws.

Jiang Chen's brows jumped, what kind of rotten name is this Nima, isn't Death Claw a matriarchal race...... Of course, now is not the time to interrupt.

"Ten days ago, probably the second day you became president."

"That's right." Ji Yucheng nodded.

"So can we think that they took away the former president, Mr. Jamin." Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

"My chief of staff and I think so too, it's just ...... We found no evidence of a zài connection between them. Ji Yucheng smiled bitterly.

"The evidence is just a reference factor, I'm not a judge, sometimes I trust my instincts more. It's like the media can't find evidence of the 'connection' between us, but the continuity between us is objective. Jiang Chen's finger tapped the back of his neck.

Looking at Jiang Chen's movements, Ji Yucheng swallowed and foamed.

In the same position, he has an "honor chip" on the back of his neck, and his identity has become a knight of the NAC, but it has not been disclosed to the public. When the federation is officially incorporated into the NAC family, Jiang Chen will consider giving him a replacement medal.

Seeing that Ji Yucheng didn't speak, Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, and then opened his mouth to command.

"Compared to Wanghai City, you are closer to the United Nations District. I have only one piece of advice for that, keep an eye on them, you know what I mean? ”

"What do you mean...... Will the people of the Northern Union be against us? Ji Yucheng's face was a little ugly.

Although he had never been there, just by listening to the word of mouth of the caravans passing by, he could feel the strength of the so-called United Territory. Compared to there, these coastal areas along the river, because of the devastation of war, are more like wild places.

This is also the reason why the people of the United Nations Territory claim to be orthodox.

"That's right." Jiang Chen said succinctly.

"But they are more than 1,300 kilometers away from us, and it is a problem for them to get here." Ji Yucheng smiled bitterly.

"It's only 1,300 kilometers, that is, the distance from two Wanghai cities to Hongcheng. A long time ago, they broadcast a declaration of war to us. It's just that more than ten years have passed, and the legendary invaders have not come, but we have never forgotten their declaration. ”

"Hopefully they forgot." Ji Yucheng smiled bitterly.

"I never have the illusion that the enemy has forgotten us." Jiang Chen stood up, paused, looked at Ji Yucheng and said seriously, "If they finally fulfill the declaration of war and meet with our people, it will be destined to be a war between civilizations and civilizations." ”

And the war between civilizations and civilizations is far more tragic than the war between civilizations and barbarism.

"I understand." Ji Yucheng nodded with difficulty, looked at Jiang Chen who got up, and then asked, "Are you preparing to leave?" ”

"That's right, I'll be looking back at Haishi tomorrow. I'll leave it to you on the Federal's side. ”

Taking a deep breath, Ji Yucheng said solemnly.

"Wrap it up on me." (To be continued.) )
