In the sa afternoon, Shatov returned to Russia on a Russian military plane. Jiang Chen gifted him the “Sword Shuttering-1” from the warehouse to bring back as a sample to show the Kremlin.
As for whether or not Russians would reverse engineer the “Sword Shuttering -1,” Jiang Chen wasn’t worried about this issue.
There was a gap in technological understanding. Even if the Russians studied the “Sword Shuttering-1” for ten years, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to create their own EMP weapons with a dozen or so limited samples.
What’s more, Sword Shuttering-1 only covered a 100,000 square kiloter zone, equivalent to only a quarter of California. As far as strategic weapons were concerned, it wasn’t a top-notch weapon, and it could only be regarded as an early-generation strategic EMP weapon.
At least Dolphin-10 intercontinental missiles deployed on the seafloor were equipped with EMP combat components in the million square kiloter range. Those were the ultimate tools of destruction. It wouldn’t an exaggeration to call them the killers of modern civilization!
The Kremlin didn’t make Jiang Chen wait for a long ti. On the third day after the eting on MLL Island, the Russian side took the initiative to contact Jiang Chen. At Natasha’s invitation, Jiang Chen went to the Russian Embassy.
What made Jiang Chen even more surprised was that he ended up talking to the President of Russia, Putin!
No extraneous words were exchanged. After the phone was connected, Putin directly discussed the issue and put forward his own requirents.
“Twenty pieces of Sword Shuttering-1 combat components. If you don’t want to sell related technology, I hope you can at least open arms sales.”
“No problem. If you run out of these 20 Sword Shuttering-1s, I can sell you 20 EMP weapons at a lower price. But I request that we send a commissioner to you. We must at least confirm that our ‘gift’ was used on the battlefield or in exercises and not taken apart in the laboratory,” said Jiang Chen.
“What’s the lowest price?” asked Putin.
“3,400 million Rubles.”
Putin was sowhat caught off-guard after he heard?Jiang Chen’s offer,
Not because of the price – 3.400 billion Rubles was equivalent to 5 million US Dollar. When compared to its effect, this price was fair. What really surprised Putin was that Jiang Chen proposed to settle in Rubles.
If he rembered correctly, he previously negotiated a few arms sales contracts with Xin, all of which were in US Dollar.
“Do you not want US Dollar?” Putin said.
“Intuition tells that the Ruble will be very valuable soon.” Jiang Chen laughed.
In short-term it may fall, but in the long run, it would at least be worth more than it is now. However, Jiang Chen’s reason for doing so wasn’t entirely due to the appreciation of the Ruble. There was another major reason.
At the end of the conversation, Putin laughed.
“Haha, using the idiom of the Chinese people, I’ll borrow your words.”
“It seems that our deal has reached an agreent?” Jiang Chen couldn’t stop smiling.
Although he failed to pull the WASP consortium across the ocean into the chariot, he successfully pulled the Russians into the ga. The Freemasonry in Europe could no longer freely exert pressure on Xin. The threat from the East would directly approach their hinterlands.
“I wish us the best of luck.” Putin smiled.
“Best of Luck!”
While the situation in MLL Island continued to escalate, the Ukrainian crisis once again entered into the eyes of the people around the world. With Russia’s high-profile increase of 100,000 troops, deployed at the Crian Peninsula and the Russian-Ukrainian border, Europe once again reached a tipping point.
This ti, the Russians not only displayed their power with a strong stance, but they also showed their decisive attitude. To reporters, Putin reaffird Russia’s position of supporting Russia’s right to choose their own destiny, and for the first ti, they recognized the legitimacy of the People’s Republic of Donetsk and the People’s Republic of Lugansk.
Such an act would undoubtedly inspire the militants still fighting the city of Donetsk and other regions. Since the implentation of the ceasefire agreent, they had never achieved a real ceasefire with the Ukrainian governnt forces.
The Western world was rattled.
No one thought Russia would suddenly act so irrationally.
The European Commission held an ergency eting on this topic. At the sa ti, 11 countries including France, Germany, and Poland issued statents one after another the following day. If the Russian army dared to cross the border between Russia and Ukraine, it would be regarded as a provocation against the UN Charter.
The most intense reaction ca from UA, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
The UA Capitol spokesperson declared that if Russia crossed the border between Russia and Ukraine, NATO would also set a precedent for sending troops to non-mber friendly countries. At the sa ti, President Hill also revealed new sanctions against Russia in an interview with the dia.
However, so analysts also comnted on whether the sanctions would be effective, whether NATO would set a precedent and whether these commitnts would be honored.
Due to the outbreak of civil war in Turkey, the anti-governnt forces took control of large areas of territory in eastern Turkey, resulting in the cutting off of the “Southern Corridor” from Europe to Azerbaijan.
In the rushed plan of the Freemasonry to secularize Turkey, the civil war ultimately failed due to Russia’s sudden movents on the Ukrainian issue. As the Southern Corridor was cut off due to war, the supply pressure of natural gas in Europe increased dramatically. In contrast, European demand for natural gas imported from Russia suddenly spiked.
If the EU joined the new sanctions against Russia initiated by the UA, the EU, with a shortage of natural gas, would beco the biggest loser.
Even if the Freemasonry intended to encourage the EU’s confrontation with Russia on the Ukrainian issue, in reality, their assets in Europe also depended on natural gas imported from Russia.
The sudden escalation of issues in Russia undoubtedly disrupted their plans.
At that mont, in the Xin presidential palace, Jiang Chen was discussing issues of Madagascar with Zhang Yaping.
Just yesterday, Zhang Yaping ended his diplomatic visit to Madagascar and achieved good results.
“Madagascar has agreed to further cooperate with us in economy and trade. If we’re willing to assist them in rebuilding the Mayotte power grid and provide 1 billion USD in loans, they’ll agree to contract the mines in northern Madagascar to us… Originally owned by Arrow, they were confiscated as a national asset after the nuclear bomb crisis.”
“No problem, agree with his conditions,” Jiang Chen said.
At this point, a phone call suddenly interrupted the conversation.
Jiang Chen turned on 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 went to the window to pick up the phone.
“Hey?”
“It’s Country F! They’re making moves!”
Although it was expected, Jiang Chen’s heart still twitched at the arrival of this mont.
The war had ultimately erupted!
