Time soon arrived in mid-July. Although it was summer all year round, Coro Island was located south of the equator. In previous years, Coro Island would be hotter at this time.
Since Natasha revealed to Jiang Chen that the Freemasonry would send the "Gatekeeper" to Asia, Jiang Chen reduced unnecessary travel. Although he was not worried that someone could pose a threat to him on this island, under Ayesha's strong request, he still took this matter to heart.
At the same time, Ghost Agents also launched an investigation on the so-called "Gatekeeper". But unfortunately, not everything could be solved simply and crudely by technology. So far, Ghost Agents had not been able to identify the Gatekeeper.
Future Group withdrew its European industry, the EU economy was overshadowed by local protectionism, Celestial Trade's space activities were still frequent, the civil war in Turkey continued, and the situation on MLL Island began to gradually deteriorate …
The atmosphere between Country F and Moro troops on MLL Island was so tense that a war could break out at any moment. It was no exaggeration to say that a war could break out in the next second, and the reason might just be that a sentry forgot to turn off the safety.
In terms of public opinion, the two sides were not stingy with their war of words.
Aquino IV accused Santos of serious corruption, unfair treatment of the Country F people living on MLL Island, and the delay in lifting the wartime regulations was a contempt for human rights. Santos, in turn, accused Aquino IV of deploying tens of thousands of troops on the border and not giving him the opportunity to lift the wartime regulations. The people of MLL Island must take up arms to fight against the possible invasion.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Country F was building momentum for the war.
…
Port D in the north of MLL Island, accompanied by more than a dozen bodyguards in kinetic skeletons, Jiang Chen stepped off the Gulfstream private plane. In addition to a group of bodyguards, Ayesha in a suit and leather shoes stood next to him. The eyes behind the electronic sunglasses glanced evenly at the edge of the airport.
In today's situation, Jiang Chen was certainly not going to MLL Island for a vacation, but to reach a deal with Russia.
The convoy sent by Santos took him to the State Guest Hotel. At three o 'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Chen also went to a warehouse belonging to Celestial Trade in the south of MLL Island to meet with the Russian officer Shatov.
The burly Russian, whether it was his face or his behavior, looked very tense. After he saw Jiang Chen, he extended his right hand neatly.
"Nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself. My name is very long. According to the language habits of the Chinese, you can call me Mr. Shatov or Lieutenant Colonel Shatov. "
To Jiang Chen's surprise, the Russian's Han was very good and even had a slight northeast accent.
After shaking hands with him, Jiang Chen also made a simple self-introduction.
"Jiang Chen, President of Celestial Trade."
Shatov nodded and went straight to the point.
"I heard that you intend to make a deal with us, and the Kremlin takes this very seriously. Then, may I ask, what exactly is your proposal? "
"Send two more divisions into the Crimea Peninsula. I hope you can pressure the EU on the Ukrainian issue," Jiang Chen said.
Shatov was stunned. He clearly did not expect to make such an abrupt request. Ukraine was NATO's bottom line on Eastern Europe. If Russia continued to advance, it was likely to ignite the entire Eastern Europe.
A head-on collision with Russia was not in the interest of NATO and other Western countries, but at the same time, Russia would not want to fight with its enemy now. After all, from any point of view, if a war really broke out, the Russian army did not have a high chance of winning.
"Comrade Brzezinski once said that Russia without Ukraine would not be able to become a great power. I don't believe you will be willing to give up this once-in-a-century opportunity, and now this opportunity is in front of you. " Jiang Chen looked into Shatov's eyes and suddenly smiled. "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about compensation."
"With all due respect, I'm afraid your proposal will not stand," Shatov replied helplessly.
"That's not necessarily true," Jiang Chen said and snapped his fingers at the bodyguard next to him.
The bodyguard who understood the meeting walked to the soldiers guarding the warehouse. After a few simple words, the two soldiers turned around and quickly opened the door of the warehouse.
A dry smell wafted in. Shatov frowned as he looked at the dark warehouse.
"Follow me." Jiang Chen smiled and took the lead to the warehouse.
Shatov hesitated for a moment, then followed suit.
From the outside, the warehouse looked very inconspicuous. However, when he walked into the warehouse, he was surprised to find that the warehouse was shockingly large. Soon, the soldiers turned on the lights, and the incandescent lights at the top lit up the interior of the room. Shatov squinted and saw the thing lying alone in the middle of the warehouse.
"What's this?" Shatov stepped forward and knocked on the tubular object.
"Do you still remember the Madagascar incident last month?" Jiang Chen smiled.
Shatov's pupils contracted slightly as he retracted his hand.
"Is this a nuclear weapon?"
"No, this is a conventional weapon." "But it's more powerful than nuclear weapons, especially for modern society."
When Jiang Chen said this, Shatov didn't immediately understand what it meant. But after he chewed it repeatedly, his expression suddenly became quite interesting, and his fingers began to tremble.
"Could it be … could it be that this is an electromagnetic pulse weapon!"
"Yes, we call it an EMP, and it's a strategic-level EMP, slightly larger than the one used in Mayotte." Jiang Chen nodded with a smile, and his finger tapped on the tube. "The combat parts of Sword Shutterer-1 can be installed on intercontinental missiles. With only one shot, it can indiscriminately disable unprotected electronic equipment within 100,000 square kilometers without leaving any pollution. "
At this point, Jiang Chen stopped talking and looked at Shatov, who was frozen in place, with a smile.
"Now, do you still think my proposal won't stand?"
"… Are you willing to sell us the technology of this weapon?"
"We never sell technology, but we are happy to sell products. Ten combat parts of Sword Shutterer-1 should be enough for you, "Jiang Chen said.
EMP weapons were weapons in laboratories in any country. However, except for high-altitude nuclear explosions, no one had developed an "environmentally friendly" electromagnetic pulse excitation method. If this Sword Shutterer-1 was really as powerful as Jiang Chen said, its existence would completely reverse the situation of the Russian army's lack of confidence in facing NATO.
"… I can't give you a clear answer, but I will ask the Kremlin," Shatov replied cautiously.
"No problem, I look forward to hearing good news the next time I meet you." Jiang Chen smiled.
