In the afternoon of the same day, Shatov returned to Russia on a Russian military plane. When he left, Jiang Chen gave him the "Sword Shutterer-1" in the warehouse and asked him to take it back as a sample to show the Kremlin.
As for whether the Russians would restore the technology of the "Sword Shutterer-1" through reverse engineering, Jiang Chen was not worried about this problem.
The technological gap was there. Even if the Russians were given ten years to study this "Sword Shutterer-1," they may not be able to replicate their own EMP weapon with a dozen limited samples.
What's more, the Sword Shutterer-1 only covered 100,000 square kilometers of EMP, which was only equivalent to one-fourth of California. As far as strategic weapons were concerned, it was not the best in Jiang Chen's hands. It could only be regarded as a first-generation strategic EMP weapon.
At least the Dolphin-10 intercontinental missiles deployed on the seabed were equipped with EMP combat components with a coverage of millions of square kilometers. That was the real killer, and it was not an exaggeration to call it the killer of modern civilization!
The Kremlin did not make Jiang Chen wait long. On the third day after the meeting on MLL Island, the Russians took the initiative to contact Jiang Chen. At Natasha's invitation, Jiang Chen went to the Russian Embassy.
What surprised Jiang Chen even more was that the person who contacted him turned out to be the Russian President – Putin!
Without any nonsense, after the call was connected, Putin went straight to the point and put forward his own request.
"Twenty Sword Shutterer-1 combat components. If you are not willing to sell the relevant technology, I hope you can at least open the arms sales window. "
"No problem. If you use up these 20 Sword Shutterer-1, I can sell you another 20 EMP combat components at a lower price. But I have a request, and that is to send our commissioner to you. We have to at least confirm that the 'gifts' we give you are used on the battlefield or in exercises, and not in the laboratory, "Jiang Chen said.
"What's the lower price?" Putin asked.
"340 million Rubles."
When Putin heard Jiang Chen's offer, he looked a little surprised.
It was not because of the price. 340 million Rubles was equivalent to 5 million US Dollar. Compared to the damage it caused, this price was reasonable. What really surprised Putin was that Jiang Chen proposed to settle the transaction in Rubles.
If he remembered correctly, the previous arms sales contracts with Xin were all in USD.
"Not in dollars?" Putin asked bluntly.
"My intuition tells me that Rubles will be very valuable in the near future." Jiang Chen smiled.
It might fall in the short term, but in the long run, it would at least be worth more than it was now. But the reason why Jiang Chen did this was not entirely because of the expected appreciation of Ruble. There was another more important reason.
On the other end of the line, Putin chuckled.
"Haha, in Chinese parlance, I'm counting on your auspicious words."
"Looks like we've reached an agreement?" A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.
Although they failed to rope in the WASP consortium from the other side of the ocean, they succeeded in roping in the Russians. The Freemasonry, which was rooted in Europe, could no longer put pressure on Xin with an uninvolved attitude. The threat from the east would directly approach their hinterland.
"I wish us a happy cooperation." Putin smiled.
"Happy cooperation!"
…
Just as the situation on MLL Island continued to heat up, the Ukrainian crisis once again entered the eyes of people around the world. With Russia's high-profile addition of 100,000 troops deployed on the Crimean Peninsula and the border between Russia and Ukraine, Europe was once again on the cusp of a storm.
This time, the Russians not only flexed their muscles, but also displayed their determination to win. When Putin faced reporters, he reiterated Russia's position of supporting the right of Russians to choose their own destiny, and for the first time, he recognized the legitimacy of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic.
Such a move undoubtedly greatly encouraged the civilian armed forces still fighting in the city of Donetsk and other areas. Since the implementation of the ceasefire agreement, they had never achieved a real ceasefire with the Ukrainian government forces.
The Western world was in an uproar.
No one thought that Russia would suddenly act so irrationally.
The European Commission held an emergency meeting on this issue. At the same time, the next day, eleven countries, including France, Germany, and Poland, issued a statement one after another. If Russian troops dared to cross the border between Russia and Ukraine, it would be regarded as a provocation to the United Nations Charter.
The strongest reaction came from the UA on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
The Capitol spokesman declared that if Russia crossed the border between Russia and Ukraine, NATO would also set a precedent of sending troops to non-member friendly countries. At the same time, President Hill also revealed new sanctions against Russia in an interview.
However, analysts also commented that whether the sanctions would be effective, whether NATO would break this precedent, and whether these checks would be honored were still up for debate.
Due to the outbreak of civil war in Turkey, anti-government forces controlled a large area of territory in eastern Turkey, resulting in the "Southern Corridor" from Europe to Azerbaijan being cut off.
In the Freemasonry's hasty plan to secularize Turkey, due to Russia's sudden attack on the Ukrainian issue, the civil war became a big failure. Because the Southern Corridor was cut off due to the war, the pressure on Europe's natural gas supply increased sharply. In contrast, Europe's demand for natural gas imports from Russia suddenly increased.
If the European Union joined the new sanctions against Russia advocated by the UA, the European Union, which lacked natural gas, would become the biggest loser.
Even if the Freemasonry intended to push the European Union to confront Russia on the Ukrainian issue, in a practical sense, their industries in Europe also relied on natural gas imports from Russia.
Russia's sudden attack undoubtedly disrupted their strategic layout.
At the moment, in the Presidential Palace of Xin, Jiang Chen was discussing issues in Madagascar with Zhang Yaping.
Just yesterday, Zhang Yaping just ended a diplomatic visit to Madagascar and achieved good results.
"Madagascar has agreed to carry out deeper cooperation with us in the field of economic and trade. If we are willing to help them rebuild the Mayotte power grid and provide a 1 billion US Dollar aid loan, they will agree to contract the mining area in northern Madagascar to us … It was originally an asset belonging to Arrow, but it was confiscated as a national asset after the nuclear bomb crisis. "
"No problem, agree to his conditions," Jiang Chen said.
Just then, a phone call suddenly came in.
Jiang Chen opened the holographic screen and looked at the caller. It was Ivan. Out of courtesy, he then looked at President Zhang.
"Do you mind if I take a call?"
"I don't mind." Zhang Yaping waved his hand.
Jiang Chen took the phone, walked to the window of the president's office, and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"It's Country F! They made a move! "
Although he had expected it, when the moment really came, Jiang Chen's heart still twitched twice.
The war finally broke out!
