"What problem?" Natasha raised an eyebrow.
"Reminding me that I went too far, was it an order from the KGB, or was it a decision you made on your own?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Natasha was speechless.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit subtle. After a moment of silence, she slowly said.
"In the last contact with the KGB Intelligence Minister, the minister used the word 'ally' on Future Group. I judged based on the existing intelligence that it was necessary to remind you of your behavior … If we lose you as an ally, our days will not be very good. "
After listening to Natasha's words, Jiang Chen almost laughed out loud.
What is this? When did the Russians learn the art of being arrogant? For the first time since he first met Natasha in Ukraine, he was amused by her lame disguise.
"What are you laughing at?" Natasha frowned.
"Nothing, I just suddenly felt a little … Well." Jiang Chen coughed gently and put away his frivolous expression. "I should take this matter seriously."
"That's for the best." Natasha paused and then said, "The Freemasonry has sent a gatekeeper. He should have arrived in Asia by now."
"What is a gatekeeper?" Jiang Chen asked.
"We don't know very well." Natasha shook her head. "We only know that there are a lot of gatekeepers. Some are responsible for the layout of the assembly venue, some are responsible for guarding the entrance of the venue, and some are responsible for issuing certificates to new members. As for the meaning it represents, there is a saying that it is holding a sharp unsheathed sword, and there is also a saying that it is guarding the door of the omniscient eye. No matter what he represents — "
"It can't be to issue me a membership card, right?" Jiang Chen interrupted with a smile.
"Yes." Natasha nodded.
He was a killer, a banker, or a general, or just a soldier, or even just a declaration of war.
Holding a sharp unsheathed sword, if it belonged to this meaning, it might be more appropriate to call him a "cleaner"?
Jiang Chen looked at the drone pruning the leaves outside the window and thought so.
…
The nuclear issue in Madagascar continued to ferment. In addition to the boiling anti-UA sentiment in the country, protests continued to erupt in the capital, Antananarivo. People held up signs to expel Arrow and even UA companies. They attributed the tragedy in Mayotte and the tragedy of the nuclear explosion on the mainland to a conspiracy of the UA.
The BBC reporter repeatedly clarified that he was British, and finally got the opportunity to interview the protesters without being beaten.
"It's the Americans who lured the pirates! Their policies in Somalia provoked retaliation from the remnants of the Belvedere warlords! Flies will always chase shit and drive American companies out of Madagascar! "
"Why does Arrow have nuclear weapons? What do they take our country for? An African arsenal? Can we still trust them? "
"Get out of Madagascar Island …"
Young people shouted slogans in French, surrounded the UA Embassy and Arrow's base, and burned the Stars and Stripes. Now every Arrow military post on the island was forced to temporarily close, and the UA Embassy had to close its doors.
Although the network penetration rate on Madagascar Island wasn't high, there was still plenty of space for Future Group to operate. Once a certain public opinion formed a direction, and there was the banner of patriotism to make the direction stand, then this hurricane could be easily manipulated and irrationally blow away everything.
Under pressure from the country and Congress, Madagascar's President La Jonah, who was inclined to cooperate with the Freemasonry, had to change his previous strategy and urged Arrow to evacuate from Madagascar.
At the same time, Jiang Chen, far away on Coro Island, also began to step up preparations for this war.
Since the KGB could guess that he did it, the CIB would also be able to guess it.
The UA did not press charges because they had no evidence to directly prove this. In other words, even the US intelligence agencies themselves were skeptical of this inference. Compared to Xin, Israel's secret nuclear possession was already an open secret.
"We will protect your industries in North America and South America, but in Europe … I'm very sorry, our ability is limited."
Loki's voice was very polite. Even if he was refusing, it was difficult to make people feel unhappy.
"It's okay, I've already helped a lot," Jiang Chen said naturally.
Jiang Chen was not surprised that his request would be rejected. After all, it was okay to expect businessmen to be honest, but it would be foolish to expect them to be loyal.
But it would be impossible to say that he was not disappointed at all.
Obviously, although they formed an alliance earlier, the WASP consortium hoped that Future Group would play the role of a pawn. No matter which side fell, the other side would definitely suffer a great loss of vitality. This kind of result was not a loss to them no matter how they looked at it.
WASP was willing to provide shelter for Future Group's industries in the Americas, so this result was not too bad.
However, this also meant that Future Group's industries in Europe would face heavy losses. That was now the stronghold of the Jews.
Sure enough, it was within Jiang Chen's expectations.
Just the day after the funeral of the four soldiers, the European branch of Future Group received an inquiry letter from the European Union Commissioner regarding the antitrust investigation. The European Union asked Future Technology to open source the virtual reality system so that European Internet companies could enter the market more fairly.
Future Group's reaction to this was also very strong.
On the day of receiving the antitrust investigation, Future Group's headquarters announced that it would suspend the provision of virtual reality network services to EU countries.
However, unlike the last decision in the UA, Celestial Trade launched quantum communication satellites last year and could now achieve global coverage. On paper, Future Group suspended the provision of virtual reality network services to EU countries, but Europeans could still access the virtual reality network through the node in Tunisia.
Unless the EU confiscated the helmets from all Europeans, but this was obviously unrealistic. After more than two years of development, the Phantom helmet already had a significant market share in developed countries. Even if the European Commission banned the sale of Phantom helmets in Europe, it would not affect Future Technology's business in Europe in a short period of time.
Salaries were still paid and work was the status quo of Future Technology's European branch. Tunisia, the northernmost country in Africa with a population of less than 10 million, had more than 200 million Phantom helmets connected in a few days.
Other than losing a huge amount of tax revenue, the European Commission dominated by the Freemasonry did not gain any benefits.
However, on the other hand, the EU launched a double antitrust investigation on Future Heavy Industries' solid-state lithium-air batteries. This move almost forced Luer and other pure electric vehicle companies to go bankrupt because the batteries used in their brands of pure electric vehicles were all imported from Future Heavy Industries.
And for this result, Jiang Chen's approach was straightforward. He directly asked Luer to close the European factory and build the factory in the New Malaysia Special District.
Trade friction gradually escalated, and Future Heavy Industries' robot Xiao Lin, Dragon Calvary X1 core and other products were also investigated by environmental protection agencies, human rights organizations, and the European Commission. Under the direction of the Freemasonry, these organizations issued sky-high fines to Future Group.
The police officers with court subpoenas all had a 'I'm going to screw you' expression.
Jiang Chen knew very well that Future Group had lost Europe.
