On October 21st, Aurora-20s arrived in Madagascar and launched a 24-hour air strike on the rebels entrenched in the Bezaha area.
Early the next morning, with the cooperation of Celestial Trade's Foreign Corps, Madagascar's 5,000 government soldiers launched a final general attack on the rebels supporting former President La Jonah.
The result of the war was without suspense. A total of more than 3,000 rebel soldiers and mercenaries from Europe were killed, 81 were missing, and the rest of the wounded surrendered. In a bunker, the soldiers of the Foreign Army captured the former President La Jonah.
Arrow's current president and chief instructor, Diarra, was also captured. After consultation with the Madagascar government, Diarra was secretly extradited to Xin, and La Jonah was handed over to the Madagascar military court.
On the night of the end of the war, Madagascar President Bernard delivered a speech to the country and announced that with the help of Celestial Trade, the civil war that lasted for several months was over. All Arrow's assets in Madagascar would be confiscated, and former President La Jonah would be sentenced to death and executed at the end of the month.
After the rebels surrendered, France proposed that Madagascar could repatriate the captured "European citizens". However, under Jiang Chen's instructions, Bernard rejected this proposal, saying that human rights were absolutely not a reason to defy the law. Europeans who participated in the rebels for any purpose would face charges of murder and war crimes. Only those who were found innocent could be released from prison.
At this point, Madagascar obviously did not intend to release them.
The purpose of Jiang Chen's action was to pressure the European government through these prisoners of war and the politicians under the control of the Freemasonry.
…
After Arrow's President Diarra was escorted to Xin, he was immediately secretly taken to the underground of the New Moon Island military base. Jiang Chen personally "visited" him.
In a small, dark prison-like room, the white man with a haggard face sat on a chair, wearing the suit he was wearing when he was arrested, and his hands were handcuffed. There was a golden ring on the table, and the number 30 was painted on the gold engraved pattern.
In the Freemasonry, the highest level was 33 degrees, and 30 degrees was considered a high level in the Freemasonry.
Jiang Chen sat on the opposite side of the glass window and looked at him with a smile.
"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Diarra. I'm sure you're familiar with my face. I heard that you guys have a bad habit of sticking the target's face on the map with a dagger when you're making a plan. "
Diarra let out a dejected laugh.
"Just kill me. Why waste your breath on a dead man?"
If he was just captured by the Madagascar government forces, he still had a glimmer of hope to survive. When he learned that he would be extradited to Xin, he basically had no hope of surviving.
"We have a lot to talk about. Let's start from two years ago." After a pause, Jiang Chen said with a smile, "Remember the first time you kidnapped me?"
Earlier, Country F planned a kidnapping operation against Jiang Chen and hired Arrow Military. Almost a dozen police officers died in the line of duty, and Ayesha was also injured. It was also at that time that Jiang Chen had the idea to establish an intelligence organization.
Diarra didn't speak and just looked at Jiang Chen in silence.
"Now that I think about it, it seems that during the internal testing of the Phantom Helmet, some unknown armed forces infiltrated the training facilities … but they were discovered by our people." Jiang Chen smiled and looked at Diarra. "I'm curious. When did you start to target me?"
"You mean the Freemasonry?" Diarra grinned.
"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.
"Why should I tell you?" Diarra was quite uncooperative and sarcastic.
"Because I can let you live." Jiang Chen leaned back in the chair, crossed his fingers in front of him, and looked into his eyes with a smile. "I can also let you die."
Diarra's throat moved, but his eyes didn't waver.
"I know what you're worried about. If you confess to me, your family in Europe may be in danger." Speaking of this, Jiang Chen sat up from the chair, leaned close to the glass partition, lowered his voice, and said meaningfully, "But I don't know if you've thought about it. Since the Freemasonry can make your family suffer, can't I?"
Jiang Chen didn't plan to use his family as a threat. However, Diarra was very likely to be the breakthrough point to bring down the Freemasons. Thus, he didn't use a simple and crude truth-telling serum. Instead, he planned to convince him and pull him to his side.
Jiang Chen gestured to the bodyguard next to him, and a photo was placed on the table between the two.
"This is your wife and your two daughters. They are beautiful, aren't they?"
When Diarra saw the photo, his eyes turned red, and the handcuffs on the armrests clanked and shook. He stared at Jiang Chen and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
"You …"
"I am a demon. I know what you want to say." Jiang Chen's expression didn't change, and he said before he could, "But you don't have the right to say this to me. As an old Chinese saying goes, there's no enmity between us, so why do you always bite my ass? "
Speaking of this, Jiang Chen was also furious.
From the beginning of the Antarctic operation, the Freemasons had been unscrupulous toward him and his group. As he said, there was no connection between the two sides, but the Freemasons had been chasing him like a fly.
The Golden Apple? To hell with it. Did he really think that that thing could communicate with the future?
When he heard Jiang Chen's question, Diarra's body relaxed. Instead, he laughed and said in a slightly calmer tone.
"You asked me before, when did we start to target you?"
"Yes," Jiang Chen replied.
"Future 1.0," Diarra threw out a name that surprised Jiang Chen. Diarra threw out a name that surprised Jiang Chen and grinned. "When you proposed the concept of artificial intelligence, we noticed your company and you as the president."
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't speak, Diarra raised an eyebrow. "Surprised?"
"It's really surprising," Jiang Chen nodded. Jiang Chen nodded. "I thought you noticed us from the coup on Pannu Islands. I didn't think you already had your eyes on me at that time. But you haven't answered me yet. Why did you target me? Is it just because of the Golden Apple? "
In addition to being surprised, Jiang Chen also pondered in his mind.
If he even knew this kind of information, it seemed that his position in the Freemasons wasn't low.
"At first, it wasn't because of the Golden Apple. We just thought you had investment value, but then your series of actions made us suspect that the Golden Apple was on you." Diarra paused and laughed. "I didn't expect our guess to be right. It's really on you."
However, what Jiang Chen wanted to say was that his achievements today were really not because of the Golden Apple.
"The Gatekeeper will take care of you."
"I've been waiting for him for a long time." Jiang Chen looked at his watch and shrugged. "However, there's still no sign of him."
"It won't be long, trust me." Diarra smiled unnaturally and looked at Jiang Chen's watch. "It seems to be time."
"Time?" Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
Just then, Jiang Chen saw a trace of blood spilled from the corner of Diarra's mouth and dripped onto his pants.
Unbeknownst to him, his raised eyes were now filled with shocking bloodshot veins ….
