“The day before yesterday, the Philippine National Armed Forces launched a raid on Pagadian City, a town in western Mindanao, at 9pm. [Fengyun.com] Arsonists destroyed 4 city police stations, 2 bus stations, 2 government office buildings and the city center. 2 power stations, causing large-scale power outages in the city."
"A fierce exchange of fire broke out between the two sides in the northern neighborhoods of the city, resulting in the death of 101 local garrison troops and the injury of 210 people. Five hours after the incident, the Moro National Liberation Front announced responsibility for the attack and stated that it would carry out the Mindanao liberation movement to the end."
"It is reported that more than 1,000 militants participated in the attack. During the battle, the ** armed forces used a large number of American-made weapons and equipment such as M4A1 assault rifles and night vision goggles, and were equipped with a large number of anti-armor weapons such as RPG-7, as well as heavy-duty mortars such as mortars. Infantry weapons may be the largest attack in 30 years. Its equipment is so sophisticated that it is stronger than the local garrison, and the source of the equipment of the Moroccan Liberation Organization is a mystery."
“Twelve hours after the incident, the Aquino government issued a strong condemnation of the attack. It also strongly condemned the organizations that provided weapons and equipment to the Japanese army, and stated that it would consider sending armored troops to Mindanao to eliminate guerrillas operating there, and would do whatever it takes to eliminate the guerrillas operating there. The price is to track down the person behind this.”
"Some analysts commented that this attack may mark the bankruptcy of the peace agreement reached between the Philippine government and the MILF in 2012. The Aquino government's increase in troops to Mindanao may cause opposition from the MILF, which has already reached a peace agreement. But if Without more troops, the regional situation may further deteriorate, and the Aquino government is already in a difficult situation."
"There are also military analysts who say that the Philippines' armored forces are not suitable for deployment in the rugged terrain of Mindanao. Even if armored forces are dispatched, they may not be able to achieve results in the face of guerrillas equipped with anti-tank weapons. The Aquino administration should The first thing to solve is the issue of the source of the weapons of the Japanese army. Only by strengthening border control can the further deterioration of the situation be prevented from external factors."
"The spokesperson of the U.S. Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the United States is paying close attention to this attack and expressed its willingness to assist the Philippines in investigating the source of the PLA equipment. When a reporter asked whether the United States would send ground troops to assist the Philippine troops in suppressing the MLA At that time, the United States stated that it would not consider sending ground troops to intervene in the internal affairs of the region, but it did not rule out the use of drones to support Philippine military operations."
"Starting from 7 o'clock today. my country's Tourism Administration has issued an urgent red alert for travel to the Philippines. It is recommended that travelers with travel plans change their travel plans or try to avoid getting close to hotspots of guerrilla activities."
"Our reporter, Yang Yong reports."
On the TV, there was a scene of government troops leaning against a bunker and firing. Although the shadow of the attacker was not photographed, just from the flying tracer bullets, the dust and the vague screams, we can get a glimpse of the brutality of this fighting situation.
From time to time, explosions of fire and smoke can be heard in the distance. It is almost impossible to use a deadly weapon like mortars in an urban area without accidentally damaging a house. Government forces must take into account the consequences of accidentally injuring civilians. But the Japanese army had no scruples during the battle.
Several stretchers passed through the street and ran to a makeshift medical point set up next to the armored vehicle. The shop windows were shattered on the floor, and looters rushed into the shop, grabbed things on the ground and ran away...
Many people will die.
But Jiang Chen will not repent.
Not because he is cold-blooded, but because the Philippines has itself to blame. From the time they chose a rogue government to come to power, to their rogue government inciting people to engage in rogue behavior, to the attack on Koro Island.
All this is just the price!
Leaning on the sofa, Jiang Chen reached out and pressed the remote control.
It seems that Santos made the right choice, which saved Jiang Chen a lot of trouble. The guerrillas of the Moroccan Liberation Organization have been fighting against the Philippine government forces for 44 years. This is the first time that we have received such large-scale military material assistance, and this time we feel proud and proud.
Of course, Jiang Chen didn't have a good impression of the Moroccan Liberation Organization or the Philippines. He just needs to use this chess piece to split this annoying neighbor. After the Moro Kingdom is completely independent, he will also take advantage of Mindanao's rich iron, copper, and gold mineral resources...
Taking out the mobile phone he bought from a street stall, Jiang Chen edited a text message and sent the password to Santos.
Now that he has fulfilled his promise, he will not be stingy with his reward. I believe that with this second batch of equipment, the combat effectiveness of the Moroccan Liberation Army will reach a higher level.
Just as Jiang Chen expected, all he had to do was throw the lighter into the monkey's hand. They themselves would be so excited that they would set the zoo on fire.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's satellite phone on the table suddenly rang.
Without even thinking, he knew it must be Roberts. This satellite phone is the dedicated line for him and Roberts to contact special business. In theory, it is absolutely safe.
After answering the call. The old friend's voice indeed came through.
"An old friend from the FBI invited me to have tea today."
"What did he talk to you about?" Jiang Chen asked casually.
"We had a casual chat, such as asking me what I did in South Africa a few days ago and who I met." Roberts said with a wry smile.
"Oh? Then what did you say to him?" Jiang Chen smiled.
"What else can I say? Go to South Africa to handle the business of the gold mining shell company... Man, no kidding, you've gone a little too far this time." He said later. Roberts took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "Terrorism has always been the bottom line of the White House, especially within the borders of their allies. Although the White House has not relented in sending ground troops to support the Philippines, CIA agents have already entered."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen sneered disdainfully.
The so-called terrorism has always been a double standard. The terrorists in the territory of America's allies are terrorists and separatists, while the terrorists in the territory of America's enemies are civilian fighters and freedom defenders.
As for CIA agents? Santos himself didn’t even know who he was dealing with. What's more, I have already pointed out the situation where his whereabouts were leaked. As long as he is not stupid, he will carefully hide himself. This CIA may not be able to catch him.
Sensing the disdain from Jiang Chen's sneer, Roberts sighed helplessly.
"Okay, I'm not calling you to tell you to stop or anything, I just want to remind you to pay attention. It's not just me who was called to talk, there were several unretired arms dealers who were also interviewed by the FBI. Yes. To transport military ammunition from South Africa to the guerrillas in Southeast Asia, it needs to pass through the airspace of many countries by air. It is impossible to leave no trace. And if it is transported by sea and land, it is impossible to arrive in just 3 days. So my suspicion is not It's very big... Although I don't know how you transported the arms to the Philippines, my intuition tells me that this matter must have something to do with you."
"But I won't admit it." Jiang Chen smiled.
"Never admit it." Roberts said seriously. "Don't let the White House know that you did it, otherwise we will all be doomed. Damn it. If I had known you did this to that batch of goods, I might as well have sold it to that dictator in West Africa. It’s better now. Tens of thousands more people died indirectly at my hands.”
At the end of the sentence, Roberts' tone turned out to be a bit dumbfounding.
"Don't worry, I did this very secretly. Aren't you planning to make an autobiography called 'Merchant of Death'? Now I've added another touch to your memoir." Jiang Chen comforted him in a relaxed tone.
After hanging up the phone. Jiang Chen stretched, threw the satellite phone aside, stood up and walked towards the door.
It was almost the end of July now, and he would have to go to the apocalypse to see it at the beginning of August at the latest. After not going back for so long, he felt a little strange about missing Sun Jiao and the others.
But before going back, he still had some things to tell him.
Driving his private speedboat to Crescent Island, Jiang Chen found Ivan who was training new recruits. He briefly inspected the combat effectiveness of the young men from Star Ring Trading, and then told him about recruiting 300 sailors as soon as possible.
Before leaving, Jiang Chen handed over the mobile phone used to communicate with Santos to Ivan. Tell him to remember to watch the news every morning. Then, based on the completion of Santos' mission, the password to unlock the map will be sent to him.
It will be time to return to the end of the world in a while. It is safer to leave the "monkey trick" to someone who can trust you.
After handling these, Jiang Chen went to Coro Island again and transported the steel and aluminum produced in July to the end of the world. The efficiency of directly transporting ore is indeed too low. It is much more efficient to process ore into steel and then transport it there.
With this batch of steel, there is no need to worry about the supply of resources to the factory in the apocalypse. It can be re-melted into C-shaped steel or other materials, and the surplus can be sold to the factory in the Sixth District.
After finishing these things, Jiang Chen stopped by the headquarters of Future Human Creatures. Learn about the sales of nutritional mixtures.
Overall, this month's earnings report is very impressive.
The sales profit for that month was as high as 100 million US dollars!
The 200,000 boxes produced by the nutritional mixture production plant that worked overtime have been delivered in two batches, and the remaining 200,000 boxes will be completed next month. With the promotion of Future Man 1.0 and the promotion of large retailers such as Wal-Mart, nutritional mixtures have easily entered people's attention.
Pure natural green defatted liquid food. Eat for 30 days and lose 30 pounds. In addition to the promotional advertisement shot by Emma, in short, according to the feedback from several retailers, the sales volume of this nutritional mixture is gratifying, and many retailers have placed additional orders. Walmart, a large retailer, even proposed to Tao Ming that it wanted to pay a high price for the exclusive rights to distribute this nutritional mixture. However, he was declined by Tao Ming.
The reason is simple, you can't give up the entire forest for one tree. Selling the exclusive agency rights means giving up the development of online sales channels and other retailers. This is tantamount to losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds.
After reporting the sales situation to Jiang Chen, Tao Ming urged Jiang Chen to expand the production line as soon as possible. Orders for future human beings are coming in like snowflakes. The nutritional mixture production factory has almost squeezed the workers' production capacity to the extreme, but it still cannot keep up with the growth rate of orders.
According to Zhan Shujie’s estimation, current production needs can only be met by doubling the existing production equipment and seaweed planting area.
Of course Jiang Chen nodded in agreement. Several organic synthesis furnaces were not a difficult task for him.
After transporting the production equipment and 10 tons of new induction reagents to the warehouse on Coro Island, Jiang Chen got on the speedboat and drove towards Coro Island. He naturally took care of the remaining matters such as recruiting people and arranging production. Leave it to Zhan Shujie to solve it.
But on his way home, Xia Shiyu called.
When he heard her voice, Jiang Chen's face suddenly lit up with joy.
The matter of closed beta players has finally been finalized! (.)
