The camera shook violently. People were running and fleeing, armored vehicles kept firing on the main road, and heavily armed soldiers desperately pushed the crowd behind them, urging unrelated people to evacuate from the street.
At that moment, a rocket hit the armored vehicle. Then, the picture was violently cut off and switched to another camera.
Jiang Chen noticed that the word "live" was marked in the upper right corner of the picture.
It seemed to be a live broadcast.
"Where is this?" Jiang Chen frowned.
These days, he had been worried about Global Express and Future Mining and didn't pay much attention to the international news.
Natasha didn't answer but just raised her chin at the TV. Soon, the white reporter on the news screen answered Jiang Chen's question in rapid English.
"We are now in Istanbul. The footage we just shot is footage of the exchange of fire between the anti-government forces and the government forces. Because of security reasons, we can't go any further. Our current position is only one kilometer from the front line. Ten minutes ago, the government forces' tanks passed by here. The bullet holes on the wall behind me are the traces left by the tank's coaxial machine gun! According to officials in Istanbul, the Turkish government forces have the upper hand, but according to the frontline soldiers, the situation is not as optimistic as the politicians say … "
Natasha put the crystal wine bottle on the table, let out a long sigh, and interrupted.
"It's not not optimistic, it's not optimistic. Based on the current situation, this is no longer a coup, but a civil war. "
"You did it?" Jiang Chen looked at Natasha with a strange expression.
As far as he knew, the relationship between Russia and Turkey had never been friendly. Especially when Turkey shot down a Russian fighter two and a half years ago, the relationship between the two countries dropped to the freezing point and was only one step away from war.
"It's not us. Coups in Turkey are as frequent as eating and drinking. You can't blame us every time. " Natasha knew what Jiang Chen was thinking and waved her hand. "We just went to pick up our people. But when we carried out the mission, we found that things were not as simple as we thought. "
"Why did we find you? I remember you have already left the front line, "Jiang Chen asked.
"Because the person in charge of this case is my boss, the KGB is a little short on manpower, and he has already mobilized everyone he can." Natasha sighed and pushed her bangs to the back of her head in annoyance. "We ran into some trouble at the border and almost couldn't make it back."
From the words "I almost couldn't come back", Jiang Chen felt the heaviness in her words.
"At first, we thought it was just an ordinary coup, but it was more intense than the previous ones." At the same time, Natasha ran her finger across the damp ice wine bottle, dipped it in water, and drew on the coffee table. "Until we found this symbol in the personal belongings of a rebel general."
It was a pyramid, and the top of the pyramid was an eye.
Of course, Jiang Chen recognized the symbol.
The "G" between the "V" ruler and the book was the symbol of the Freemasonry.
"Freemasonry …"
"That's right." Natasha snapped her fingers. "After all, the Freemasonry has always been the focus of the KGB. We were nosy enough to investigate and found that the officer was a peripheral member of the Freemasonry and a supporter of the secularization movement in Turkey."
As Natasha spoke, she picked up the wine bottle and took a sip. She swirled the clear liquid and looked at Jiang Chen, who was in deep thought.
"I heard that the situation in Country F is not peaceful either?"
"That's right." Jiang Chen didn't hide it. Since Natasha mentioned it, she must already know some inside information. "The arms race between Country F and Moro has begun. I wouldn't be surprised even if Country F's Army crosses the ceasefire line tomorrow."
Natasha grinned. "Is that so? It seems that the global situation has reached a considerable degree of tension. Let's not talk about this. You didn't ask me to come here just to listen to my story, right? "
"Evelyn is on Coro Island." Jiang Chen went straight to the point.
"He's actually in your hands." Her red lips opened and closed in surprise. Natasha looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, her legs crossed, and she muttered to herself thoughtfully, "No wonder we can't find him. It turns out that he's under your control."
"You've been looking for him? It seems that the Russians are also very interested in Frankberg's current situation. "
"Of course, Frankberg is our number one trading country in Europe," Natasha looked at Jiang Chen with a smile. Natasha smiled at Jiang Chen. "I'm guessing you wouldn't intentionally leak this information to me. Tell me, what are your conditions? "
"Evelyn will give it to you. I need all your information about the Freemasonry!"
"All the information? Your appetite is really big. Do you know how much information we have about them? If it's all written on A4 paper, it can fill an entire archive room. The world's largest underground organization, we've been watching them since the Stalin era. " Natasha looked at Jiang Chen with a playful expression. "You plan to exchange a former Frankberg Deputy Prime Minister with us? Don't you think this is unfair? "
To Natasha's vague answer, Jiang Chen was not discouraged and continued to speak.
"Let me be clear first. Is the Freemasonry your enemy or friend?"
"We've been enemies since the last century."
"We are too." Jiang Chen looked into Natasha's eyes seriously. "We are also enemies of the Freemasonry. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Am I wrong? Whether it's Ukraine or Frankberg, the order dominated by the Freemasonry has always been contrary to Russia's interests. Similarly, their position on the MLL Island issue is also irreconcilably opposed to ours. In this case, in the face of the same enemy, we can stand on the same front! This is not an exchange of interests, this is a helping hand to an ally. Do you understand what I mean? "
Natasha fell into silence. Her index finger rested on her bright red lips as she thought about what Jiang Chen said.
"I can't make the decision. I'll give you an answer the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Jiang Chen picked up the bottle of wine from the table, toasted her from afar, and said with a smile, "Convey my words to the Kremlin for me."
"This is what I drank."
"But the wine is mine!"
The clock hanging on the wall pointed to the position of 12: 30. Ayesha walked out of the kitchen with delicious food and entered the dining room next to the living room. Even from a distance, the tempting aroma could be smelled.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Chen got up and invited her with a smile.
"It's getting late. Let's eat before you leave."
"Leave?" Natasha raised an eyebrow and smiled. "I'll live here."
