Jiang Chen heard about Greenpeace's troubles from Zhang Yaping, but he didn't take it to heart.
The other party obviously knew that Celestial Trade's bodyguards weren't to be messed with, so they didn't do stupid things like attacking offshore platforms. They only staged a demonstration in front of the embassy and stirred up international public opinion … In fact, not many people took them seriously.
Since it didn't interfere with the normal work of Future Group, Jiang Chen didn't bother with these trivial matters. In contrast, there were more important things waiting for him to deal with, such as the increasingly tense situation on MLL Island.
The KS-32 vehicle-mounted anti-drone system, led by the UA Department of Defense and developed in cooperation with Lockheed Martin, had left the laboratory and officially entered production. As the main equipment of the "Fly Catching Plan", the KS-32 anti-drone system could suppress information from drones within a radius of 500 meters and force the landing of individual drones, including Future Group's Beta series.
Country F's Army became Lockheed Martin's first customer for the "Fly Catching Plan" and spent 11 million US Dollar to purchase 1,000 KS-32 anti-drone systems for front-line troops.
There were still 8,000 units in the follow-up purchase plan. Country F put in a lot of effort to equip every Hummer, armored vehicle, and tank with this anti-drone equipment to render Celestial Trade's drone tactics ineffective.
At the same time, Country F also purchased five sets of Patriot 3 surface-to-air missile systems, including 357 PAC-3 missiles and five test missiles, as well as corresponding radar equipment and upgrade kits, in order to deal with the air superiority established by Aurora-20.
Although Hua expressed its protest against the deployment of the Patriot 3 missile system in Country F, it didn't affect the implementation of this arms sale.
In addition, Country F also analyzed the case of the last EMP rocket attack on MLL Island, which caused the headquarters to completely lose contact with the lower divisions, and introduced the world's most advanced EMP area protection device from the European laboratory.
Obviously, the newly appointed Aquino IV was determined to recover MLL Island.
The President of Moro, General Santos, was obviously more anxious than Jiang Chen. Since Country F increased its border surveillance in July, he had been constantly on the phone with Jiang Chen to ask for help from Celestial Trade.
"We should strike first! If we wait for them to reorganize their army, we'll have to pay a greater sacrifice! "
"Tactically, it's correct to strike first, but strategically, we can't do that." Jiang Chen sat in the office with his legs crossed and shook his head to deny Santos' proposal.
According to the "Mutual Defense Treaty" between the UA and Country F, if Moro initiated a war, it would undoubtedly pull the UA from the other side of the Pacific to Country F's chariot, which was equivalent to playing into Country F's hands. Aquino IV was obviously smarter than his predecessor. He didn't hide his intention to use force in the strategic deployment. The purpose was to provoke Moro to attack first.
Only when this war was an "aggressive war" would the mutual defense treaty not take effect. In other words, Moro must patiently wait for Country F to fire the first shot to avoid the worst situation.
"But —"
"I need you to stay calm, Mr. Santos. Do you understand what I mean?" Jiang Chen interrupted him and said calmly.
After Santos heard Jiang Chen's words, he forcibly suppressed the questions in his mind and said unwillingly.
"Yes."
"Not bad." Jiang Chen nodded and sat up straight. "What is the size of Moro's army now?"
"A total of 50,000," Santos replied.
MLL Island had a total population of 18 million. With its backward industry and economic level, it was not easy to support an army of 50,000 people and two mechanized brigades. It seemed that Santos wasn't a corrupt person who drank and ate meat all day long. He still had some achievements in the army.
"Enlist the reserves and expand the army by 20,000. I'll solve the problem of equipment for you. You don't have to worry about this. "
Celestial Trade took the route of elite soldiers, and the weapons produced by Future Military couldn't meet the needs of Moro. Fortunately, Jiang Chen had a good relationship with Russia. It was not difficult to get cheap arms from Russia through Natasha.
After hanging up the phone with Santos, Jiang Chen found Natasha and ordered 40,000 AK-12 assault rifles, 10,000 boxes of ammunition, as well as infantry support equipment such as mortars and RPG-7 rocket launchers to support the new infantry division of Moro.
A total of 150 million US Dollar in arms sales was a fair price.
The contract was signed on the spot. It seemed that Russia already expected Jiang Chen to purchase these equipment from them.
Natasha put away the contract and asked Jiang Chen about the drone.
"The Beta series drones seem to be affected by the KS-32 anti-drone system?"
Jiang Chen knew what Natasha was concerned about and waved his hand nonchalantly.
"It's just a civilian drone. The one sold to you is the Beta-3B, a paramilitary drone with built-in anti-jamming equipment. Unless it's within 100 meters of the KS-32, it won't be affected by this vehicle-mounted anti-drone system. "
"Then I'm relieved," Natasha said with a smile.
Russia's imaginary enemy was NATO. If the UA's Fly Trap plan proved effective, it would undoubtedly weaken the Kremlin's interest in the Beta series drones. As the leader of the Russian introduction of the Beta drones, Natasha naturally didn't want to see her efforts treated as a joke in the country.
After signing the contract, Natasha said she had to go to the embassy, so she left.
Seeing that it was still early, Jiang Chen, who was a little bored, took a bottle of champagne from the fridge, leaned on the sofa, turned on his watch, brought up the holographic panel, opened the browser, and scrolled through Weibo.
Speaking of which, since Liu Yao helped him register a Weibo account, he hardly used it. For a while, he gave the account to the company's operations team to manage, but then Future Technology became Future Group, and he didn't let the operations team manage the account.
Thinking about it, the last time he posted on Weibo seemed to be a year ago.
When he opened his Weibo account, Jiang Chen noticed that his fans had exceeded 90 million. As for the long list of private messages, it was even more shocking.
"What, am I that popular in the country?"
Jiang Chen touched his chin and thought about this question very seriously.
In his impression, the time when he went to Xiangjiang, because his itinerary was leaked, it caused a large group of reporters to surround him. The two private meetings with Liu Yao in Wanghai didn't attract the attention of the outside world.
He shook his head and threw this question aside. Jiang Chen looked at the trending list and was surprised to find that the words "Submarine Farm" were on the list.
It seemed that Greenpeace's actions had some benefits. Originally, no one paid attention to the submarine farm, and Future Group didn't deliberately promote it, but it became a hot topic on the Internet, which surprised Jiang Chen.
New Wolf also invited a professor from a university in the country to give a detailed explanation of this "submarine farm".
However, just as Jiang Chen was about to click on it to see what the expert had to say, a phone call came in.
