"Did they make a move?"
"Yes."
"Mhmm, I see."
Carmen Rothschild hung up the phone, threw the phone on the table, picked up the goblet of red wine on the table again, and cast his gaze to the garden outside the window. It had just snowed here, and the edges of the window were dotted with fine icicles. The garden was white and fluffy, and just looking at it made people feel the serenity of winter.
This was Rothschild's estate in Finland.
Yes, he was not in Switzerland at all, but in Finland in Northern Europe.
Just half an hour ago, a fire broke out in the Pilsen Church in the southern part of the Czech Republic. All thirteen members of the 33rd degree of the Freemasonry who were holding a secret meeting were killed without a single survivor!
Looking at the reflection on the window glass, Carmen's fingers gently tapped the wine glass, listened to the crisp sound, and fell into deep thought.
Sure enough, his hunch was correct.
Future Group mastered some special interrogation methods. Based on its leading position in neural access technology, it was likely that through a device similar to the Phantom helmet, it could directly scan the brain of the interrogated.
When Kamt failed in North America, he realized that the location of the Freemasonry had been exposed. Even if the gatekeeper was loyal enough, and news reports also showed that he was killed on the spot by Xin security personnel when rescuing the hostages, Carmen had to prepare for the worst.
With a sigh, Carmen downed the red wine in his glass and swirled the remaining red wine in his glass. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face. Looking at his own reflection, he muttered to himself.
"It's good to die."
He could also guess that this failure would surely prompt the Freemasonry to reconcile with Future Group.
Although the thirteen families were united because of common interests, as long as they were businessmen, they would weigh the pros and cons. However, weakness had always been the most naive idea. People always repeated the same mistakes, and they already made it once in World War II. If it weren't for their allies in North America, they might have already disappeared in the dust of history.
It's good to die.
For a family at the level of the Rothschild, the death of an heir or the head of the family was just a matter of chaos. A machine would never be completely scrapped because of a broken gear. Even if Carmen died, the Rothschild family would not collapse.
As long as the immediate family members were not completely wiped out, the death of an heir of the Thirteen Families was no different from the death of the President of the United States.
If hatred could extinguish all unrealistic thoughts and reunite the shaken upper echelons of the Freemasons, the price of thirteen lives was nothing.
Of course, Carmen also admitted that he had his own selfish motives.
His younger brother, James Rothschild, had always been unwilling to be an honest rich man and showed enthusiasm for family affairs that did not match his status. If he could use Future Group to get rid of him, it would be a good thing.
"Johnson, get ready to go."
Carmen finished the red wine in the glass, put the glass on the windowsill, and turned to the door.
His bodyguard, Johnson, stood at the door like an iron tower. There was no expression on his dark face. When Carmen passed him, he turned and followed her.
"Where are we going?"
"Go to Europe and clean up the mess."
At the same time, he would take back his position as a High Lord.
Carmen put on his coat and stepped into the snow outside the manor. With his back to the manor in the north, he walked in the direction of the garage with Johnson following him. The snowflakes dancing in the sky were reflected in his pupils, and there was no extra expression on his angular face.
…
"Success?"
"Yes."
"Got it."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
After using the truth-telling serum to torture the location of the Freemasonry meeting from Cham, he immediately announced to the outside world that the hostage crisis had been resolved and released the news that more than a dozen "terrorists", including Cham, were killed on the spot to lower the vigilance of the Freemasonry.
Then the Ghost Agents stationed in Europe immediately went to the Czech Republic and arranged informants near the Poulsen Church to closely monitor the movements of the Freemasonry. Finally, this morning, the Freemasonry held a secret meeting of thirty-three members. The Ghost Agents seized the opportunity and decisively burned the entire church in a sea of fire …
"Did something good happen?" Calvin looked at Jiang Chen.
"Sort of." Putting away his phone, Jiang Chen turned his eyes to the big screen in the center of the space launch center. When he learned that the space elevator project had made significant progress, he didn't even have time to go back to the mansion to take a shower before he rushed here.
From the camera, a group of Pioneer robots, pulled by graphene cables, quietly floated in the synchronous orbit, surrounded a giant ring, and methodically carried out construction work.
The entire space station had begun to take shape. The ring acting as a counterweight had even been completed. With the gradual completion of the graphene track, the ring would gradually move outward, so that the center of gravity of the entire space elevator would be maintained on the synchronous orbit.
"With the help of the Pioneer robots, our construction speed is much faster. The rockets launched into the sky no longer need to carry supplies, which saves a lot of capacity in the space launch center, and also saves a lot of budget for the entire project. " Looking at the magnificent project on the screen, Calvin's face was full of pride as he explained to Jiang Chen.
"I only care about how long it will take to finish?" Jiang Chen asked.
"The space station is 90% complete, and the graphene track has all been transported to outer space. Once the space station is completed, the track can be gradually connected to the space station. By mid-December at the latest, the entire space elevator can be completed! "Calvin replied with excitement.
[Mid-December, at most one and a half months away?]
Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded with relief.
Once this "highway" to space was completed, Celestial Trade's space colonization plan could also be fully launched.
At present, the Moon colony had expanded to the size of 50 people, which was double that of a month ago. The scale of the lunar ice drilling wells and the lunar soil collection station deployed on the periphery of the colony had also expanded a lot. Based on the information provided by Jiang Chen, scientists in the colony had designed a set of helium-3 collection plans. At present, the helium-3 reserves in the colony had reached 2 kilograms. If all of it was used for fusion reaction with deuterium to generate electricity, it would be enough for the entire country to use for four years.
In addition, Calvin also reported good news to Jiang Chen.
The first batch of cabbages planted on the Moon farm had matured and were placed on the table of the Moon colonists for the first time after harvest. This breakthrough meant that the Moon colony had achieved initial self-sufficiency in food. Although at present, it was still quite difficult to completely get rid of imports from Earth, this breakthrough was undoubtedly exciting enough.
This meant that people would be able to travel further, and it was no longer just an illusory dream …
