As soon as the call was connected, Yerif's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"My old friend, you finally remembered to call me."
"I've been busy lately." Jiang Chen smiled.
"I can feel it." Yerif nodded. "I've been paying attention to the situation in Colombia recently. With all due respect, your situation doesn't seem to be very optimistic? "
"That depends on how you define the word optimistic." Jiang Chen smiled. "Since you're paying attention, you might as well wait a few days and see."
"Is that so? I knew it. You still have some good cards up your sleeves. "Yerif laughed.
Jiang Chen smiled and then said, "You'll know when you see the news. Let's talk about something serious."
"The plan is ahead of schedule?" Yerif was keenly aware of the purpose of Jiang Chen's call.
"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded and leaned back in his chair. "We are ready on our side. Ten thousand mercenaries have gathered at the port of Madagascar and are ready to board at any time."
"Are you sure you want to do it now?" Yerif asked.
"There's no better time than now. If we wait until the end of the year, it will add too many variables," Jiang Chen said.
NATO's eyes were completely focused on South America. At this juncture, even if the biggest news happened in Syria, the UA was unlikely to have the time to open up a second battlefield in the Middle East.
The only possible risk was that excessive intervention in Syria could break the regional strategic balance. However, considering that Celestial Trade did not intend to get too involved in the Middle East, even if the strategic balance was broken, Jiang Chen wouldn't be the one to have a headache.
Yerif touched the beard on his chin and said after a moment of contemplation.
"You can register a shell company in Madagascar. I will use the import and export company under my name to sign a batch of fruit import agreements with your shell company. There will be five large freighters departing from Jeddah to the port of Madagascar. Let your people board my freighter with the fruits. There are UA patrols in the Gulf of Aden, but they generally won't touch the Saudi royal family's ships. It's just that your people have to squeeze in the container. "
"No problem, this is nothing for them," Jiang Chen said softly. "I'll get someone to solve the problem of the shell company today. It can be done by tomorrow afternoon. Let your ship depart as soon as possible."
"There's no rush." Yerif shook his head and said, "It will take about three working days to complete the procedures. We should go through the proper procedures if we can. You don't want to be targeted by the CIB, right?"
"Then you decide the time," Jiang Chen said.
Yerif thought for a moment and said.
"First of July. It's better to do this at the beginning of the month."
"Then it's settled." Jiang Chen smiled.
"Mm, I wish you all the best in your plan." Yerif also smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "I'm still waiting for you to fulfill your promise and transform my country into an oasis."
…
On June 27th, the NATO coalition forces crossed the Atlantic and landed in South America.
After the coalition forces disembarked at the port of Barranquilla, they immediately headed to the frontline between the Colombian government forces and the FARC rebels – Bucaramanga. About half a month ago, the UA Marine Corps had been stationed here and established a simple military base and airport runway here. At this moment, it was used to accommodate the NATO coalition forces.
In less than a week, the UA mobilized a lot of children to participate in this war, and the total number of troops had exceeded 90,000. Even the Koreans sent dozens of people to join in the fun as they responded to their father's call.
While NATO was busy gathering forces in Colombia, Jiang Chen was not idle.
Moro's volunteers had quietly set off and headed to Celestial Trade's New Moon Island military base in batches.
A total of 200,000 volunteers were divided into two groups on New Moon Island. A small number of people took large military transport planes to Cucuta Airport controlled by FARC, and most people took transport ships to Venezuela under the escort of the Celestial Trade Navy.
With a total of 800,000 soldiers under his command, Santos sent out a quarter of the country's army at once.
Of course, Jiang Chen did not mistreat him.
Not only was the military expenses for this expedition borne by Celestial Trade, but Celestial Trade also gave Moro 2 billion XND "compensation" based on the number of soldiers, which was equivalent to paying 10,000 XND for each soldier. This may be a drop in the bucket for Celestial Trade, but for Moro, which was in urgent need of foreign exchange, it was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
The tit-for-tat confrontation between the UA and Xin on the South American issue put the global situation on the brink of a tidal wave. With a little carelessness, the two strong giants could start a war. If one of them could not maintain its rationality, it was likely to cause a worldwide disaster.
However, almost all international commentators around the world were pessimistic about the future prospects.
The reason was simple, because the leader of Celestial Trade was not like a politician at all.
He didn't have all the qualities that a politician should have, such as rationality, tact, and forbearance. He didn't consider the political significance of his actions because he wasn't a bureaucrat, and the country's Congress and president didn't have any restraints on him. The Xin delegation was restricted from leaving the country. The first method he thought of was not to solve the crisis through diplomatic channels, but to directly eliminate the special forces to save them. In the end, he even threw the blame to the local rebels and claimed that he only bought the "hostages" from the rebels.
Who the hell would believe that a group of guerrillas could sneak into the city center without anyone noticing and take out an entire reinforced company's elite soldiers!
However, the FARC people happily picked up the blame without feeling embarrassed at all. Instead, it made the Colombians and the UA speechless, and it also made the international commentators who paid attention to this incident speechless.
The UA election was in five months.
At that time, the overlord of the old world would choose his ruler.
According to the current polls, Joseph Kennedy, who was expected by the public, had a slightly higher support rate than the internet celebrity Mr. Trump. However, to the surprise of the Americans themselves, after several talk shows and televised debates, Trump's support rate did not fall but rose.
Abuse, attacks, mockery, and black humor filled the election. The televised debate that had just ended could only be described as "a mess of chicken feathers". People all over the world seemed to be paying attention to this election, curious about what other explosive remarks this candidate, who did not care about trifles, could say.
At least on one point, whether it was correct or not, most people, especially young people, agreed.
The Hua people took their jobs, the Xin people took their hegemony, and the UA was on the decline. The UA should strengthen its strategic deployment in the Pacific. If an aircraft carrier battle group was not enough, then send a group over.
Then, a tough president would negotiate with them.
Also, the UA should indeed restrict immigration.
