"The day before yesterday, Country F's anti-government forces launched a surprise attack on the western city of MLL Island, Pagadian City, at nine o 'clock at night. They set fire to four police stations, two bus stations, two government buildings, and two power stations in the city, causing a massive power outage in the city. "
"The two sides exchanged fire in the northern part of the city, resulting in 101 local soldiers dead and 210 injured. Five hours after the incident, the MNLF claimed responsibility for the attack and said they would carry out the MLL Island liberation movement until the end. "
"It is reported that more than 1000 militants participated in the attack. In the battle, the anti-government forces used a large number of M4A1 assault rifles, night vision goggles, and other UA weapons. They were also equipped with a large number of RPG-7 and other anti-armor weapons, as well as heavy infantry weapons such as mortars. It may be the largest attack in 30 years. The quality of their equipment is better than the local army. The source of MNLF's equipment is a mystery. "
"Twelve hours after the incident, the Aquino government issued a statement strongly condemning the attack. At the same time, it strongly condemned the organization that provided weapons and equipment to the anti-government forces. It also said that it would consider sending armored forces to MLL Island to eliminate the local guerrillas and track down the mastermind at all costs."
"Analysts commented that this attack may signify the collapse of the peace agreement between Country F and MNLF in 2012. The Aquino government's decision to send more troops to MLL Island may cause the MNLF to oppose the peace agreement. But if they don't send more troops, the regional situation may worsen. Right now, the Aquino government is in a difficult position. "
"Military analysts also said that Country F's armored forces may not be able to deploy on the rugged terrain of MLL Island. Even if they send armored forces, it may not be effective against the guerrillas equipped with anti-tank weapons. The Aquino government should first address the source of the anti-government forces' weapons. Only by strengthening border control can they prevent the situation from worsening. "
"The UA Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that the UA closely followed the attack and expressed their willingness to assist Country F in investigating the source of the anti-government forces' weapons. When the reporter asked if the UA would send ground troops to assist Country F in eliminating the MNLF, the UA said they would not consider sending ground troops to intervene in the region's internal affairs. However, they did not rule out the possibility of using drones to support Country F's military operations. "
"Starting from 7 o 'clock today, our country's tourism bureau has issued an emergency red alert for travel to Country F. It is recommended that travelers with travel plans change their plans or try to avoid the hotspots of guerrilla activity."
"This station's reporter, Yang Yong, reporting."
On the TV was the scene of the government troops firing with their backs against the bunkers. Although they did not capture the shadow of the attackers, the flying tracers, the dust, and the muffled screams were enough to tell how fierce the battle was.
From time to time, explosions and thick smoke could be heard from afar. It was almost impossible to avoid accidentally damaging civilian residences when using a deadly weapon like the mortars in the city. The government forces had to consider the consequences of accidentally injuring civilians, but the anti-government forces had no such concerns when fighting.
Several stretchers passed through the street and ran to the temporary medical point next to the armored vehicles. The shop windows were all broken, and the looters rushed into the shop, grabbed the things on the ground, and ran away …
Many people will die.
But Jiang Chen would not repent.
It wasn't because he was cold-blooded, but because Country F asked for it. From the time they chose a rogue government, to the rogue government encouraging the people to commit rogue acts, to the attack on Coro Island.
All of this was merely the price to pay!
He leaned against the sofa and turned off the remote.
It seemed that Santos made the right choice as it saved Jiang Chen a lot of trouble. The MNLF fought against the F government for 44 years. It was the first time they received such a large amount of military aid. This time, they could finally hold their heads high.
Of course, Jiang Chen didn't have a good impression of the MNLF and Country F. He only needed to use this chess piece to divide the annoying neighbor. Once Moro was completely independent, he would take over the rich iron, copper, and gold resources on MLL Island.
Jiang Chen took out the phone he bought from a street stall, typed a message, and sent the password to Santos.
Since Santos already fulfilled his promise, Jiang Chen would not be stingy with his reward. With the second batch of equipment, the MNLF's combat power would reach another level.
Just as Jiang Chen expected, as long as he threw a lighter into the monkey's hand, they would excitedly light the zoo into a sea of fire.
Just then, the satellite phone on the table suddenly rang.
Without thinking, he knew it must be Robert. The satellite phone was the special line between him and Robert. In theory, it was absolutely safe.
After he picked up, the voice of his old friend came through.
"My old friend from the FBA invited me for tea today."
"What did he talk to you about?" Jiang Chen asked nonchalantly.
"Just a casual chat. He asked me what I did in South Africa a few days ago and who I saw." Robert forced a smile.
"Oh? What did you talk to him about? "Jiang Chen laughed.
"What else could I say? Went to South Africa to take care of the gold shell company's business … Buddy, I'm not joking. You're playing too big this time." Robert took a deep breath and lowered his voice. "Terrorism has always been the Capitol's bottom line, especially in the territory of their allies. Although the Capitol didn't agree to send ground troops to support Country F, the CIB agents already went in. "
Hearing this, Jiang Chen sneered in disdain.
The so-called terrorism always had a double standard. The anti-government forces in UA's allies were terrorists and separatists, while the anti-government forces in UA's enemies were freedom fighters and freedom defenders.
As for the CIB agents? Santos didn't even know who he was dealing with. Especially since he already pointed out that his whereabouts were exposed, as long as he wasn't dumb, he would carefully hide himself. The CIB might not be able to catch him.
Robert sensed the disdain in Jiang Chen's sneer as he sighed helplessly.
"Okay, I didn't call you to stop, I just wanted to remind you to be careful. It wasn't just me who was called, a few arms dealers who haven't retired were also interviewed by the FBA. From South Africa to the hands of the Southeast Asian guerrillas, air transport would need to pass through multiple countries' airspace. If it was by land or sea, it would be impossible to arrive in three days, so I'm not too suspicious … Although I don't know how you transported firearms to Country F, my intuition tells me that it must be related to you. "
"But I won't admit it." Jiang Chen laughed.
"Never admit it," Robert said in a serious tone. "Don't let the Capitol know you did it, or else we're all done for. Dammit, if I knew you were going to do this, I would've sold it to the dictator in West Africa. Now, tens of thousands of people will die indirectly by my hands. "
In the end, Robert didn't know if he should laugh or cry.
"Don't worry, I did it secretly. Didn't you plan to film a biography called "Merchant of Death"? Now, I've added another stroke to your memoir, "Jiang Chen comforted her with a relaxed tone.
After he hung up, Jiang Chen stretched his back, threw the satellite phone aside, and walked to the door.
It was almost the end of July, and he would have to visit the apocalypse by the beginning of August at the latest. After not going back for so long, he missed Sun Jiao and the others.
But before he went back, he still had some things to tell them.
He drove the private boat to New Moon Island and found Ivan who was training the new recruits. He briefly inspected the combat power of the Celestial Trade boys and told him to recruit 300 sailors as soon as possible.
Before he left, Jiang Chen gave Ivan the phone he used to communicate with Santos and told him to watch the news every morning. Then based on the completion of Santos' mission, he would send him the password to unlock the map.
Since he would be returning to the apocalypse in a while, it was better to leave the "monkey show" to someone he trusted.
After taking care of this, Jiang Chen went to Coro Island to transport the steel and aluminum produced in July to the apocalypse. The efficiency of directly transporting the ore was too low; it was much more efficient to process it into steel and then transport it.
With this batch of steel, the factory in the apocalypse would no longer have to worry about the supply. They could refine it into C-grade steel or other materials, and the surplus could be sold to the Sixth Street factory.
After taking care of this, Jiang Chen went to the headquarters of Future Biology to learn about the sales of nutrient supply.
In summary, this month's financial report was very eye-catching.
The monthly sales profit was as high as 100 million USD!
The two hundred thousand boxes produced by the nutrient supply factory had been delivered in two batches, and the remaining two hundred thousand boxes would be completed next month. With the promotion of Future 1.0 and Walmart and other large retailers, nutrient supply easily caught people's attention.
Pure natural non-fat liquid food, eat it for thirty days, and lose thirty pounds of weight. Coupled with the advertisement shot by Emma, based on the feedback from several retailers, the nutrient supply was selling well, and the retailers all increased their orders. Wal-Mart even proposed to Tao Ming that they wanted to buy the exclusive rights of nutrient supply at a high price, but Tao Ming politely declined.
The reason was simple; they couldn't give up the entire forest for one tree. Selling the exclusive rights meant that they had to give up the development of online sales channels and other retailers. It was like losing a watermelon for a sesame seed.
After reporting the sales to Jiang Chen, Tao Ming urged Jiang Chen to expand the production line as soon as possible. The orders to Future Biology came like snowflakes. The nutrient supply factory almost squeezed the workers to the limit, but it still couldn't keep up with the increase in orders.
Based on Zhan Shujie's estimation, only by doubling the current production equipment and seaweed planting area could they meet the current production demand.
Jiang Chen, of course, nodded in agreement. A few organic synthesis furnaces were not a difficult task for him.
After transporting the production equipment and 10 tons of new inducing reagents to the warehouse on Coro Island, Jiang Chen boarded the boat and headed to Coro Island. The rest of the recruitment and production arrangements were naturally left to Zhan Shujie to take care of.
But on his way home, Xia Shiyu called.
When he heard her voice, Jiang Chen's face instantly lit up.
The internal test player issue was finally settled!
