Chen Shen finally participated in the conversation between Ji Ya and Xiaoyu, but he was only responsible for the transaction part, and he did not plan to participate in any real "intelligence handover" in the future.

The information was directly given to Xiaoyu, and the Dongfeng Corps did not look, listen, or know, and was only responsible for providing support to Jiya in accordance with Xiaoyu's requirements.

This is the safest approach, but it is also a relatively somewhat conservative approach.

Regarding Chen Shen's choice, Xiao Yu was a little surprised.

Because in her opinion, Chen Shen's demand for intelligence and technology is still very high, and if he doesn't know anything, it is also a risk for him.

But in fact, Chen Shen didn't need to go through Ji Ya to understand that information at all.

In the previous life, the information in Ji Ya's hands had already been picked up

Therefore, he simply gave Xiaoyu an undoubted explanation:

It's not that I don't want to know, it's that it's not yet time.

When he came back from Syria and needed to be prepared in this regard, he would naturally ask Xiaoyu.

In this way, the "abnormality" of Chen Shen in Xiaoyu's eyes became "sensible", and quietly, Chen Shen brushed a wave of goodwill with Xiaoyu.

Looking at Xiao Yu's satisfied expression, Chen Shen couldn't help but feel ashamed.

It's damn that you've played scheming on your comrades.

But jokes aside, it's the best option for many parties.

After everything was negotiated, Jiya delivered the first batch of information to Xiaoyu, and in the same way, Xiaoyu operated through various resources to give her a new identity.

The identity of Pubei, the identity of Kachin and Myitkyina.

The territory that had just been laid down immediately came in handy, and Jiya was quite satisfied with it.

After the arrangement landed, she also promised Xiaoyu that she would deliver the second batch of intelligence within the next three months.

At the same time, she also promised that before Xiaoyu used this information to achieve her goals, she and the organization behind her would never leak anything to the outside world.

——

Regarding this, both Xiaoyu and Chen Shen are skeptical.

But at least, the north has a head start

In the end, the three parties can barely be regarded as "guests and hosts enjoying themselves", and after sending away Xiaoyu, Jiya also completely relaxed.

Looking at Chen Shen opposite, she said with a smile:

"Looks like you're going to be my bodyguard for a while longer."

"Well, does it feel like you're back to square one?"

"It's really back to square one."

Chen Shen nodded and continued:

"I'll arrange for the jackal to take care of you — or rather, you'll remain under house arrest until there is a clear signal."

"Until the dust settles, you can have limited freedom."

"This is for your safety and that of us, and I hope you understand."

When the words fell, Ji Ya's smile immediately froze.

"Jackals are Thai, right?"

"You're going to put me back in the hands of the Thais?"

Chen Shen smiled and replied:

"He's not quite right, he's already started reading Lu Xun's anthology."

"Shipwreck, I have to admit that we are evenly matched when it comes to finding allies."

Ji Ya sighed softly and continued to ask:

"So where will I be under house arrest? Monka? Or Myitkyina? ”

"Monka. But don't worry, the conditions of Mengka are much better now than before. ”

At this point, Chen Shen really didn't lie.

With the "recovery" of Xiaomengla, coupled with the opening of the previously paved Dachili-Jingdong artery, the economic activities of the entire Pubei have made a qualitative leap in an instant.

The money that used to be impossible to spend if you wanted to, or the money that you had to spend more effort to spend, has now had a new flow.

A typical example is that a group of warlords, including Ho Bu Pa and Ho Bang Xiong, have stopped collecting cash equivalents and luxury goods, and have begun to invest their money in more and more complex ordinary consumer products.

Electronic equipment, entertainment equipment, sports and fitness equipment, more abundant catering services, cheaper daily necessities and daily necessities.

Just a month ago, Mengka even finally opened its first home supermarket, its first large-scale fruit trade market, and its first shopping mall.

Pubei has been quietly changing, but such a change is "natural", so it has not attracted much attention.

Looking at Chen Shen's slightly smug expression, Ji Ya nodded with emotion.

"In two and a half years, you have really changed this place."

"In a sense, you're a hero."

"Or to use your words, you're a thug."

"Shipwreck, do you remember? When I first met you, you were called Shura. ”

"At that time, everyone thought that you would only bring new, bloodier disasters to the land."

"Everyone foresaw such a catastrophe, but no one could stop you"

"Shipwreck, do people still call you Shura now?"

"It's too much."

Chen Shen smiled slightly mockingly and continued:

"However, the person who calls me Shura now is no longer from Pubei."

"It's you fast Western journalists, and, of course, the brainless people in the Western context."

Chen Shen's words made Ji Ya slightly embarrassed, she coughed subconsciously, and then said:

"It's not that everybody is brainless, it's just that they can only see what the government is willing to let them see."

"Freedom of speech is actually a joke. I don't think you should be unclear about this. ”

"Of course."

Chen Shen didn't want to discuss too much with her on this topic, so he stood up and said to Ji Ya:

"Let's go, the jackal should have already arranged your accommodation."

"Let's go and see."

"No problem."

Ji Ya obediently followed behind Chen Shen, walked out of the villa, and the two got into the warrior car that was ready to go, and then drove to the camp of the Dongfeng Corps on the outskirts of the city.

After getting out of the car, Jiya was completely stunned by what she saw.

A well-groomed army in training, platoons of armored vehicles and tanks, well-planned barracks and facilities, a small airfield, and 3 different types of helicopters on the airfield.

"You've built an army."

Ji Ya turned to Chen Shen and said sincerely:

"Your strength is far beyond my imagination, I thought at first that you relied on various means of mediation to subdue other warlords, but now it seems that you have subdued them."

"There's nothing surprising about that, it's a mercenary's supposed means."

Chen Shen nodded noncommittally and took Ji Ya directly to the jackal's temporary office in the camp.

When the two met, the expressions on their faces were a little complicated, but based on their "professionalism", Jackal quickly arranged everything and sent Jiya directly to her residence.

After he left, the jackal came up to Chen Shen and asked curiously and heartbrokenly:

"Why don't you kill her? Do you need me to do it for you? ”

Don't think about it, people have life savers."

"And?!"

Jackal's eyes widened in astonishment and he asked in disbelief.

He couldn't figure out how this ordinary "reporter" could hide so many hole cards.

Again and again to escape the dilemma of death, again and again in an "unpleasant" way to reach cooperation.

You can't fault her, because she really didn't hurt you.

However, you can't be comfortable either, because you know that she does harm your abilities and even your motivations

Looking at the jackal's reaction that was exactly the same as his own, Chen Shen couldn't cry or laugh.

"It's not something I can discuss with you, and it's not something you should ask, so you better not ask."

"Okay."

The jackal shrugged, then frowned and muttered:

"How do I feel that such a conversation has happened somewhere. Never mind. ”

"When are you going to go to Syria? How can I help you? ”

"Does Chesri have a foothold in Syria?"

"Yes."

"Yes?!"

Hearing the jackal's answer, Chen Shen's jaw was about to fall to the ground.

His original intention was to take the opportunity to laugh at the jackal, but he didn't expect that he could really help?

"How do you have a foothold in Syria?!"

"There's only one office, and there's two people in it."

"They are responsible for. How so? PR work. ”

"It's actually just throwing two people there, showing their faces in front of customers from time to time, telling them that we exist as a company."

"And, for the convenience of PR, one of them is still a woman."

"Then you better not mix it up, don't throw me a drag oil bottle."

Chen Shen decisively rejected the jackal's kindness, and the jackal waved his hand indifferently and replied:

"It's just a suggestion, and we can't actually help much."

"But if the situation over there is still stable after you pass, you can try to make contact."

"Some life problems, they can still solve them for you."

"For example, Ramadan is coming soon, and if some food, water and other supplies are difficult to procure, you can try them out."

"Of course, there are cigarettes and alcohol-—— you may not need them, but maybe your players will."

"I see."

Chen Shen nodded slightly, and he agreed.

In fact, Xiao Yu will naturally prepare in advance for these things mentioned by the jackal, but since the jackal said it, he will not refuse unkindly.

After all, it was the good intentions of the jackal.

Under the limited conditions, he was indeed giving all his aid to the Dongfeng Corps.

Of course, he got benefits from it, but sometimes the benefits and friendship are not so open

The two walked all the way out of the office, took a casual walk in the barracks, and looked at the camp that had begun to take shape, and the two were also very emotional.

Before finally parting, the jackal asked one last question.

"How many people are you going to take with you to Syria this time?"

"The first batch of 12."

Chen Shen did not hide it and replied:

"We don't know the exact nature of this mission yet, only that it is security."

"But, needless to say, you should be able to guess that our mission will inevitably involve evacuation and rescue of VIPs."

"So it's not okay to have too many people, but it's even worse if there are fewer people."

"I expect that the scale of this mission should be more than 50 people, and after the first batch arrives, a second group of personnel will be arranged to fly over."

"Most of our equipment, just follow the second group of personnel."

"Because at that time. It should already be over there."

Chen Shen didn't finish his words, Jackal nodded solemnly, and continued:

"I understand that the transportation of equipment is easy to operate only after the official start of the war."

"Still. You'd better stay safe. ”

"Syria is not Pubei, let alone Indonesia."

"Judging from all kinds of intelligence, it will be a serious battlefield."

"Moreover, it is the battlefield of modern warfare."

"You're going to face all sorts of regular armies – I'm talking about real regulars."

"Don't try to fight them, you can't fight them anyway."

"Especially when there is no team, even more"

"Alright, alright."

Chen Shen interrupted Jackal's words and said a little helplessly:

"How do you look like an old mother? I still don't know how to play? ”

I'm just afraid you don't know."

The jackal sighed and continued:

"You are my dear relatives and brothers."

"If you go, if you have three longs and two shorts, I won't have much hope for the rest of my life."

"Shut up!"

Chen Shen snorted and interrupted the jackal's resentful woman to speak.

The jackal coughed and swallowed the unspoken words.

After briefly explaining the details of Jiya's house arrest, Chen Shen got into the car and left the camp.

Behind him, the jackal's eyes changed several times.

Eventually, however, he turned around and walked back to the camp.

Probably he also knew that many things in the Dongfeng Corps were indeed out of his hands.

He is like a spectator standing at a blackjack table and placing a side bet, no matter what direction the game goes, he can't control it.

He could only hope that this matter would end as soon as possible.

And the truth was just as he expected.

Two hours after Chen Shen returned to the villa of the Dongfeng Corps, he received a call from Xiaoyu.

From Xiao Yu, he received an extremely crucial piece of information.

It is very likely that the US side will adopt a resolution on the imposition of a no-fly zone over Syria at a UN meeting in the coming week.

This also means that the United States has finally made up its mind to push the situation in Syria one step further.

Now, that intent hasn't been revealed, but before they make a decision, the Dongfeng Corps has only a week to complete the deployment and reach Syria.

"Everything has been arranged, and you will be going to Syria as employees."

"You just have three days to get ready, and after three days, you're going to fly to Istanbul and then transit from Turkey to Syria."

"Be prepared."

"The mission this time was simple, but it was also very important. Complex. ”

"I'll meet you tonight, wait for me!"

With a snap, Xiaoyu hung up the phone.

Chen Shen didn't think about what "meet at night" meant, there was only one thing in his mind:

This trip to Syria, the area where the Dongfeng Corps is active, I am afraid will be a real "no man's land".
