As soon as the call connected, Zhang Yaping lowered his voice and roared at Jiang Chen.
"God, what did you do!"
Jiang Chen first paused before he said in surprise, "Oh, you're a Christian?"
Zhang Yaping was also taken aback, and then he roared angrily.
"Is this the time to discuss this issue? New Moon Island, Country F fishermen, pirates? Are you crazy?! "
After roaring incoherently, Zhang Yaping gasped for air and took a long time to calm down. Jiang Chen noticed that his phone kept ringing, but he didn't pick up.
"You've calmed down?" Jiang Chen laughed.
Zhang Yaping, who had calmed down, forced a bitter smile, leaned back on the chair, and said.
"… I'm desperate."
"What happened?" Jiang Chen asked in a relaxed tone.
"You'll know if you buy a newspaper from Country F. Three fishing boats that accidentally entered Xin's border were attacked and sunk by the Xin military. Eleven Country F fishermen were all killed … Don't tell me you don't know about this. "
[Fu * k, sunk?] Jiang Chen was stunned.
To be honest, he didn't think of sinking the three fishing boats at that time. He just casually ordered Ivan to take care of this matter and detain those fishing boats as pirate ships. He didn't expect the Russians to be so hot-tempered. He didn't know what those monkeys did to piss him off.
Jiang Chen, of course, wouldn't admit his mistake. "Who would buy a newspaper printed by a monkey?"
[You deserved to be sunk. Do you think you can wander around the military base? And you even obstructed the construction of military facilities. Any country would shoot you down.]
"It won't be long before the whole world knows. BBC's reporters are outside, clamoring to be ahead of their peers, "Zhang Yaping said tiredly while rubbing his sore eyebrows.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen asked in a quiet voice, "Ivan … really killed them all?"
"Killed them all."
"What about the sunken ship?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Country F's diplomats are negotiating with me, hoping to salvage the sunken ship as soon as possible …"
"Who's in charge?" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.
"They want them to lead the investigation of the truth. The coast guard ship had already crossed the border, but it was forced back by your people … Those are your men. You really don't know anything? "Zhang Yaping asked suspiciously.
Jiang Chen glanced at his phone. There were indeed two missed calls.
F * ck, how could I have received a call from the apocalypse yesterday!
"Ahem, I wasn't in the service area yesterday. Maybe I didn't get the call."
Zhang Yaping rubbed his temples and said tiredly, "What should we do now?"
"Other than salvaging the sunken ship, what other requests did they make?"
"They want us to investigate the murderer as soon as possible and deal with him severely. Otherwise, they will keep all options open that could worsen the situation."
Murderer?
When Jiang Chen heard this word, he was instantly unhappy. He didn't pay attention to Zhang Yaping's last sentence and immediately cursed.
"F * ck, so what if it's sunk! This is the border of Xin. Do you think it's reasonable for them to cross the border? "
"At most, we can only use water guns to drive away illegal fishermen. If we're a bit more barbaric, we'll use the Coast Guard to ram them. Driving them away with guns is unheard of! "Zhang Yaping forced a smile.
"Military restricted zone. Special situations require special treatment. Who knows if they are spies or something."
Jiang Chen frowned and thought for a moment. He glanced at the driver and lowered his voice.
"It's not convenient for me to talk right now … Just insist that it's all pirate ships that were sunk. Call a deer a horse, do you understand? If you don't understand, go on Baidu. I know you haven't been to Hua, but don't forget everything about your ancestors. Stabilize the salvage first. In other words, drag it out and wait for me to come back. OK？”
"Okay …"
Zhang Yaping's response was weak.
He just took office, and the domestic situation was not yet stabilized, but a diplomatic problem arose. Country F's president, Aquino, spoke to him yesterday. His attitude was firm and even arrogant. Country F had a population of 100 million while Pannu Islands only had 20 thousand. The 500 times difference in population made him lose the courage to challenge Country F. An active force of 120 thousand was six times the population of Xin. If there was a military conflict, Xin would only be on the receiving end – although Jiang Chen didn't think so.
"That's it then, bye."
After that, Jiang Chen hung up.
After half an hour of driving, the car arrived at Jiulong. After turning a street, between the skyscrapers, Jiang Chen immediately saw the sign "Future International."
He dropped two bills and got out of the car. Jiang Chen immediately took out his phone and called Ivan.
Ivan picked up and Jiang Chen immediately asked.
"You killed them all?"
"I killed them all … I'm willing to accept the punishment," Ivan said without hesitation.
"You didn't do anything wrong. There's no need to accept any punishment for defending the country's dignity! … But this might be a bit troublesome. Stabilize the situation on your side and wait for me to come back, "Jiang Chen said in an undertone.
"Yes!" Ivan said.
…
Xin's defense contractor, Celestial Trade Company, sank three fishing ships of Country F and chased away Country F's coast guard ships.
Different from the shock and anger of Country F's public opinion, Xin's citizens were as excited as if they were on drugs. Even those who previously held a conservative view of Celestial Trade Company all became "fans."
To use one word to describe it, it was really f * cking relieving!
The resentment between the two countries had existed for a long time.
When President Edward ruled Pannu Islands, he only cared about eating and drinking with Johnny, he didn't care about the lives of the fishermen. How much did the fishermen pay in taxes? Was it even enough for him to eat?
Pannu Islands didn't have any coast guard ships, only a few fishing ships. The already low military budget was all allocated to the land force by Edward to suppress the dissident voices in the country.
Although Pannu Islands had a vast ocean, they had zero control over their territorial waters. Not to mention Country F's fishermen, even New Guinea's fishermen ran into their waters to take advantage of them. But New Guinea's fishermen knew their place and weren't as picky as the monkeys in Country F. Not only did they catch your fish, but they also liked to bully the local fishermen.
The fishermen of Pannu Islands hated the Country F people to the core, but due to economic factors, the Pannu fishermen's boats were usually one level lower than the Country F fishermen. If they fought to the death, they would only sink. If there was a fight over the fish, they could only avoid them, even if it was within their own country's borders.
It was also why despite the abundance of fish on New Moon Island, there wasn't a single Xin fishing boat.
Needless to say, it was a humiliating situation.
And Celestial Trade Company's action was like a slap in the face to the thugs.
In an instant, the Xin citizens' attitude towards Celestial Trade Company changed from "external interference force" to "the guardian of the people." Originally, there weren't many people responding to Celestial Trade Company's recruitment, but after this incident, there was a long line in front of the recruitment site.
The sharp internal conflict was immediately shifted to the foreign country. The compensation for land acquisition, the continuation of the tourism development, and the reorganization of the government were all thrown to the back of everyone's mind because all Xin citizens were facing the same enemy.
That was Country F.
It was unexpected for this to happen. Jiang Chen didn't think this far ahead.
