"Yesterday, Typhoon 'Banyan' passed through the Mariana Islands and moved northwest toward the Philippine Sea. Affected by the typhoon, the eighty UA Navy ships docked at the Guam military base were forced to temporarily relocate. As for the cause of the formation of Typhoon 'Banyan', scholars affiliated with the World Meteorological Organization have not yet made an official explanation. Some scholars say that the reason why a typhoon of this scale formed in December may have an inseparable relationship with global warming … "
"International relief organizations have sent rescue teams to Country F and Malaysia for emergency response. It remains to be seen what impact 'Banyan' will have on the Asia-Pacific region. Let's welcome the professor from Columbia National University … "
The morning news was playing on the TV, and a simple and nutritious breakfast was placed on the table. However, Timochenko's mind was not on the TV or the bread at all. He was just staring at the map hanging on the wall in a daze.
To be precise, he was staring at the dotted line on the map.
It was the dotted line that divided the country into two.
If John Kennedy was elected and the UA joined the Earth Defense Alliance as expected, the relationship between Xin and the UA would usher in a long honeymoon period. Celestial Trade was unlikely to support him to continue this war.
In the worst case, Colombia might even become a second Korean Peninsula. They clearly had the same tradition and spoke the same language, but because they were sandwiched between two superpowers, they were permanently divided into two countries …
He didn't have any hope at first.
But fortunately, the winner was Trump.
To be honest, when he saw the results of the election announced on the news, he was relieved.
In addition, Celestial Trade had been increasing troops in South Colombia recently, which made him see the dawn of unification of Colombia.
During this time, his men had been suggesting to him to seize this opportunity to create border incidents and tear up the truce agreement. It was just that Celestial Trade hadn't made a statement yet, which made him unable to make up his mind. Celestial Trade could bear the consequences of the situation in Colombia getting out of control, but he couldn't bear the consequences of being abandoned by Celestial Trade.
"Cancel all my itineraries today. If I can't cancel them, let Antonio go for me." The breakfast on the table was barely touched. Timochenko pushed the chair away, stood up, and looked at the assistant standing on the side. "Arrange a flight for me, I want to go to Xin."
"Isn't the time a bit too rushed?" The assistant hesitated. "It will take at least three working days to submit a state visit application to the Xin Embassy through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs …"
"Let's apply directly to Celestial Trade, they will arrange it for us." Timochenko interrupted the assistant's words, paused for a moment, and continued, "If I didn't think too highly of myself, Jiang Chen should also want to see me."
…
"I heard there's a typhoon over there? You have to be careful, don't get blown away. "
"The typhoon happened in the Mariana Islands. It's far away from me. At most, it rained heavily." On the phone, listening to Liu Yao's playful voice, Jiang Chen laughed. "How are you? Are you busy?"
"No matter how busy I am, I'm not as busy as you." Pouting, Liu Yao said bitterly, "Hmph, you guys are really just guys who like the new and hate the old. You have two lovers in Ri Nation and you have forgotten about me. "
"How could that be?" Jiang Chen was speechless. "When I went to Nippon last time, weren't you filming? I didn't invite you over. "
This jealousy train of thought was a little strange.
Instead of being jealous of Ayesha and Xia Shiyu, he was jealous of Qian Xia and Officer Kwai.
"Really?" Liu Yao asked suspiciously.
"Really!"
"Hehe, then I'm relieved. Next time you go, you have to take me with you! Let's make it clear, a liar is a puppy … "
Jiang Chen had to admit that in the art of jealousy, Liu Yao was the most accomplished of all the women he had ever seen. It not only satisfied a man's vanity, but it didn't make him tired or even tired of being too arrogant. This was what Jiang Chen was most satisfied with about his lover.
At the same time, it was also the reason why Liu Yao could go from a little-known star to a superstar in Asia.
In terms of background, who could compete with her?
Calling Liu Yao was purely to take a break from his busy schedule. After chatting for a while, Jiang Chen hung up the phone with a smile and picked up the document at hand again.
This document was the outline of the afternoon meeting, and he had to preview it before the meeting began.
Over the past few days, Jiang Chen had been busy with the deployment of Celestial Trade's forces. The top brass of New Moon Island had held more than a dozen meetings in a row. Including the expansion of the military establishment, the increase of military budgets, and the development of combat plans for possible partial or even full-scale war …
It was precisely because of this that Timochenko thought too highly of himself. Jiang Chen had no plans to see him at all.
In Celestial Trade's strategic deployment in South America, South Colombia occupied a key position. However, this so-called key was only a geographical factor. It was more realistic to count on Moro than to count on the army of South Colombia to help on the battlefield.
Of course, since he was already here, he still had to see him. He couldn't disappoint his subordinate because of such a trivial matter.
After receiving a call from the embassy, Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then called Ivan and temporarily canceled the afternoon meeting. In the conference room of Future Building, Jiang Chen met with Timochenko, the warlord who stirred up the turmoil in South America.
Strictly speaking, this was the third time the two met. The first time was when the Colombian Civil War had just broken out, and the second time was at the Coro International Defense Exhibition. Every time he saw the old warlord, Jiang Chen noticed that the gray on his temples seemed to have deepened.
After a simple greeting, Jiang Chen invited Timochenko to take a seat. The receptionist standing on the side poured tea for the two, then respectfully left the room.
"How are those used by pilots?" After touching the teacup with his index finger and testing the temperature, Jiang Chen retracted his right hand, looked at Timochenko, and said with a smile, "I mean those produced by Future Heavy Industries."
"It's very easy to use. Your technical strength is impressive." After a pause, Timochenko continued, "But you know, I'm not here today to discuss this."
In the Colombian Civil War, Russia was the second biggest winner after Celestial Trade. After Timochenko received the loan from Future Bank, the first thing he did was to spend money, buy equipment, and arm his miscellaneous troops. Arms orders of more than three billion US Dollar helped Russian military enterprises remove a lot of accumulated inventory. Timochenko bought an entire squadron of fighters like the MiG-29.
As for the pilots, they were naturally the "Matador" digitalized human pilots bought from the Coro International Defense Exhibition.
"I know what you want to discuss," Jiang Chen looked at Timochenko and said softly, "My suggestion is to wait patiently."
"How long do we have to wait?" Timochenko couldn't help but ask, "Our people are eager to be unified."
"I can't give you a specific time, but if you have paid attention to our actions, it shouldn't be difficult to see that we have already begun to prepare for this," Jiang Chen said. "We also hope that Colombia can be reunified. After all, a unified Colombia is more in line with the interests of Celestial Trade in South America. On this point, our position is the same. "
Jiang Chen saw the anxiety in Timochenko's eyes. He paused for a moment, and his tone carried a hint of warning.
"In addition, Mr. Timochenko, I have to remind you that during this time, please strictly restrain your men and must exercise restraint. Regardless of whether an unpleasant war will break out in the future, you must remain calm at this juncture. The last time you launched the revolution ahead of schedule, you already disrupted our plan. I don't want to hold you accountable, but I hope that is the last time. "
Trump would visit Xin after taking office.
Even if he didn't have much hope for this expected diplomatic visit, Jiang Chen still planned to meet with the new president before making the next decision.
The colonial ship of Harmony was approaching day by day. If he could avoid meaningless internal friction, it was better to avoid it as much as possible. But if the president who pursued the diplomatic concept of "UA First" was really as tough as he promised in his campaign speech …
Jiang Chen could only say that the final compromise would not be Celestial Trade.
However, plans never kept up with changes. Just as he was preparing for war while waiting for the transfer of power in North America, the Colombian people gave him a difficult problem …
