The conference room was quiet.
The scheduled agenda was only halfway through, and the Finnish officials left early. Sergei Shoigu, who stood up, didn't know whether to sit or stand. He gave the secretary behind him a look, and the latter immediately stepped forward to help his boss clean up the table.
The sound of chairs being moved and documents being organized rang out. When the minister began to pack up, the officials on the Russian side also packed up and left the long table.
Before even half of the expected effect was achieved, the meeting was already over.
Jiang Chen, who was standing in front of the satellite map, threw the marker aside and walked to the door. When he came, he only brought one person, so there was nothing to pack. When he left, he called Ayesha and asked her to help him book a dinner at the front desk.
He just wanted to eat a hot dinner. The last time he had a proper meal was twenty-four hours ago.
After he arrived in Murmansk by helicopter with Kutpov, the first thing he did was to call the Hilton Hotel to book a room. After he returned to the hotel by car, he didn't even take off his clothes and fell asleep. He slept until the director of the Russian Security Service, Barth, called him for a meeting in the afternoon.
It was already seven o 'clock in the evening. Before the meeting began, he only drank a tube of fruit-flavored nutrient supply, and his stomach was already protesting.
Just as he was about to leave the government building, Barth waved at him, but he didn't wait for Jiang Chen to walk in this direction. He quickly walked to Jiang Chen's side, patted him on the shoulder, and grinned.
"Let's have dinner together? There's a very good restaurant nearby. My treat. "
"I've already booked dinner at the Hilton Hotel. It's my treat." Jiang Chen called Ayesha and asked her to tell the front desk that the dinner didn't need to be delivered to the room. They could eat directly in the private room of the restaurant and add another person.
"Okay then." Seeing that Jiang Chen had already made a reservation, Barth didn't refuse and took out the car key from his pocket. "Take my car?"
"Thank you." Jiang Chen smiled.
Unlike Minister of Defense Sergei, perhaps because of the need of work, Barth didn't assign himself a driver and drove himself. Jiang Chen didn't know the brand of the car he drove, but it should be a domestic car.
He sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt. As soon as the car started, Barth's face turned bitter.
"Buddy, you've got us in big trouble."
Jiang Chen glared at him and argued with dissatisfaction.
"Why are you the same as those Finns, throwing the trouble to me when something happens? If your Alpha Squad had killed Carmen, there wouldn't have been so much trouble! I heard that there was only a distance of 500 meters at that time. You could have killed him, but you were thinking of blowing up the ammunition depot? "
Barth was stunned for a moment before he frowned.
"Can one person really make such a big difference?"
Jiang Chen sneered, leaned back in the car seat, and closed his eyes. "You can try to give him a chance to develop in ten years. He may be able to turn all of Russia into that state."
"What do we do now?" Barth asked.
"Just wait."
"Wait?"
"When NATO suffers a setback there, they will naturally think of us." Jiang Chen laughed.
"You think NATO can't solve this problem? It's just a few bugs. "Barth frowned.
In his view, NATO didn't even need to do anything. Even if the Russian border guards were sent over, they could easily crush those bugs.
When Jiang Chen heard such naive words, he laughed.
"Just bugs?"
Barth held the steering wheel and was silent for a long time.
Just when Jiang Chen was about to fall asleep, he asked.
"Pardon me for asking, but why are you so certain? Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else … I'm just curious. You seem to understand this situation very well? It was the same with the T virus, and now it's the same with the X2 bacteria. "
Barth's intuition from years of intelligence work told him that these two seemingly unrelated events were inextricably linked.
Jiang Chen's left eye opened a slit and looked at Barth a few more times.
Just as he was about to make up an excuse, he suddenly thought of the Golden Apples that flowed out of the factories controlled by Rothschild. It was those Golden Apples that made him change his mind.
Perhaps, now was the time?
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed and said.
"Yes, I do know this kind of thing very well. I also know how Carmen got these things. Do you want to know why?"
"If it's convenient." Although Barth didn't seem to care, Jiang Chen could clearly feel that his tone was obviously quite concerned.
"Let's wait for dinner. We can talk about this slowly."
Jiang Chen didn't answer. Instead, he closed his eyes again and returned to the state of resting.
There was still half an hour's drive from the Hilton Hotel. Before he told the truth, he still needed to think about how he should say this.
…
Frankberg was in the midst of a revolution. At this time, it was impossible to send troops to support allies. The UA aircraft carrier was too far away. It seemed unrealistic to move from the Mediterranean Sea to the Baltic Sea, and it would stimulate the fragile nerves of the Russians.
In the end, it was the United Kingdom that had already left the European Union. Although it had left the European Union, it did not leave NATO.
However, the British obviously underestimated the danger of the "nest". They only sent a mechanized brigade and quickly deployed it in northern Finland through heavy transport aircraft.
Perhaps they listened to Jiang Chen's opinion, the Finnish government sent engineers to cut down trees along the "infected area" and cut out a 50-meter-wide isolation zone. Then the British Army fired a total of 20 white phosphorus bombs at the "nest" and prepared to physically sterilize it before entering the infected area.
However, the result was beyond their expectations. After the white phosphorus bomb exploded, it did burst into brilliant sparks, but soon the flames seemed to be "frozen" and extinguished in the air. The scorched spores floated out of the ground after a while and filled in the lost parts.
Realizing that something was wrong, they extracted a part of the spore suspension from the infected area for testing. They found that this single cell would rapidly consume itself in a high-temperature environment and secrete a special heat-resistant liquid that would extinguish the fire by wrapping around the burning material!
Cells with their own fire extinguisher!
Such an incredible discovery made the biologists invited to test the spores in the infected area exclaim in disbelief. Even with their decades of experience, they couldn't figure out what was going on.
This was not beyond Jiang Chen's expectation.
Bugs could evolve.
If they could do something as incredible as interstellar travel, what was the big deal about extinguishing a fire?
