<=""></> A desert island south of Anga Island.
Leaving behind the billowing smoke, Star Ring Trading's rocket headed towards the clear blue sky.
With the launch of this rocket, it also marks the official launch of the first quantum communication satellite of the new country and even all mankind. Of course, the public does not know the true attributes of this satellite, and Starlink Trading did not provide any explanation for the satellite's use of "non-classical information transfer quantum communication technology". It only generally stated that the satellite used innovative technology, making The delay in accessing ifi can be controlled below.
The satellite will provide free ifi services throughout New Zealand. As part of the social welfare of citizens, it will not only improve the New Zealand public's evaluation of the Star Ring Trading Couple, but also significantly improve the tourism rating of the Pannu Islands.
In addition, due to the wide coverage of satellites and the large idleness of service interfaces, the Aerospace Technology Center of Xinghuan Trading is currently negotiating cooperation with Australia's largest telecommunications operator to provide paid ifi services to the eastern region of Australia.
"I really didn't expect that I would be standing in this damn place again, watching you play with rockets."
Henry, an observer from the United Nations International Aviation Organization, was wearing sunglasses and standing outside the rocket launch site, looking at the empty launch pad in boredom.
It is obviously February, but the air of Koro Island already has the smell of the summer solstice. And this heat is particularly obvious on this island close to the equator. Seeing that there were no media around, Henry took off his suit and hooked it on his arm.
"There are 24 launches a year. If you think the money is too much, you might as well donate some to the Red Cross."
"Of course I am also doing charity. As for the Red Cross... I don't have that much spare money yet." Jiang Chen teased.
The Red Cross has a bad reputation in China, and it is no secret internationally. Any "imported product", whether it is an advanced commodity or an idea or a concept, will undergo some variation, good or bad, in the process of localization. So for Jiang Chen’s teasing. Henry, a Protestant who used part of his salary every month to do good deeds, just snorted and didn't say much on this issue.
"Every time I land on this island, I have the illusion of being exiled from civilized society." Watching the rocket take off. Henry murmured to himself as he watched the smoke column dissipate.
"You should feel lucky. Because this is the starting point of mankind and the future center of the universe<="l">."
"This is it?" Henry pointed to the bare gravel under his feet and said sarcastically, "Unless the future of mankind is to dry salted fish on the beach."
Jiang Chen could understand Henry's resentment. After all, if it hadn't been for the launch plan of the new country throughout the year, he wouldn't have been transferred from bustling Washington to be stationed here. Twice a month, I stare at the smoke column in a daze.
But the idea of drying salted fish... somehow made Jiang Chen laugh.
So Jiang Chen patted his shoulder and laughed.
"Then just pretend you are on vacation in Hawaii in the Western Pacific, although this vacation may be a bit long. You will enjoy the hospitality of a five-star hotel every day. If I were you, I definitely wouldn't complain so much."
Henry glanced at Jiang Chen, turned around and walked away in the direction of the port.
It has been confirmed that today's launch plan has nothing to do with intercontinental missiles. Half of his work this month has been completed, and naturally there is no need to stay on this island anymore. Now he just wants to go back to the hotel where he is staying, change into clean clothes, and go to the bar to drink two glasses of cold beer.
The business trip budget given to him by the United Nations was only enough for him to live in a hotel, but Starlink Trading did not treat him badly. Not only did they arrange for him to stay in the headquarters building of Future People Group, but also provided him with three meals, and even gave him a monthly bus subsidy of US$50,000.
Fifty thousand dollars. It’s enough to buy a nice car!
Regarding Jiang Chen's win over, Henry was a little reluctant at first, but later he accepted it calmly. After all, I have to write two reports every month. It was still very tiring for him. As for the satellites where the Star Ring trade took place, he turned a blind eye, skipping the inspection of key components, and directly filled in the form with a general item such as "regular commercial communication satellites" .
Anyway, in his opinion, it is impossible for such a large cube to carry any dangerous combat components.
And the structure of the rocket does have nothing to do with intercontinental missiles.
…
Originally, it was just the Philippines that had some complaints about Singapore's launch plan. Since the Mindanao missile crisis, the United States and its allies have also begun to make irresponsible remarks about Singapore's rocket launch plan.
The first thing to do after the peace agreement comes into force. The United States put pressure on New Zealand through the United Nations, requiring Star Ring Trading to disclose the number of intercontinental missiles. And report the number of all undersea missile silos.
Of course Jiang Chen would not agree to this and put forward corresponding conditions. Unless the United States announces the deployment coordinates of all domestic intercontinental missiles, Starlink Trading will never disclose any information about undersea missile silos.
Are you kidding me? Am I stupid if you treat me as a young master
I’ve told you everything, how can you still play this game!
Later, the United States made a new request for representation, asking the new country to provide strong evidence to prove that it does not possess weapons of mass destruction, such as the pathogen of the T virus.
This is difficult to prove unless United Nations observers dismantle each warhead and inspect it.
The new country's response to this was also very direct. The virus vaccine is developed by Singaporean enterprises in the future. As a major contributor to the fight against the T-virus, Singapore rejects the illogical accusations made by the United States.
Illogical? Really illogical.
After all, the content of that negotiation was kept secret from the outside world. The United States was unable to produce strong evidence to prove that Star Ring Trade had used the virus as a bargaining chip and threatened him at the negotiation table<="l"& gt;. But then again, even if there is evidence, the United States will never admit that Ziyi chose to compromise to some extent and betrayed the interests of the Philippines.
But even so, the US Department of Defense's white paper still does not include New Zealand as a priority. After all, no matter what, this small country with a population that has just exceeded 30,000 is still too small. Even if it is a bit noisy in the regional situation, it does not have an impact on the hegemony of the United States.
What the United States is really worried about is the new country moving closer to China.
If such a thing really happens, the island chain they have worked so hard to build in the South China Sea will cease to exist. However, for now, Xinguo seems to have no plans in this regard. Although space activities are extremely ordinary, they have not concealed the launch procedures, which also reassures the US Department of Defense a lot.
But rest assured, the White House still maintains the most basic vigilance against new countries that possess intercontinental missile launch technology. The frequency of CIA activities on Coro Island has obviously increased, in order to search for weapons of mass destruction that do not exist at all...
…
The second launch mission was successful without any doubt.
After saying goodbye to Henry, Jiang Chen saw that it was getting late, so he gave up his plan to go back to the Future People Group.
Sitting in the car going home, Ayesha reported to Jiang Chen about the work of the Security Bureau.
"Among the American tourists who traveled to Coro Island this month, two have been confirmed to be CIA agents, or at least employed by the CIA."
"Is there confirmed espionage?"
"Not yet." Ayesha shook her head.
"Then I'll just keep an eye on it for now. I'm actually more concerned about the situation in Tokyo than the people at CIA... Has there been any result in the investigation of Takeda Pharmaceutical?"
"Not yet..." Ayesha lowered her head with regret, "We did not find the name Tanaka Yoshihiro in the staff list."
"Really? It seems that they have done a good job of keeping secret." Jiang Chen said casually while looking at the passing street scene outside the car window.
This can only explain two possibilities. One is that Takeda Pharmaceutical has nothing to do with the Black Ship Organization, but this is absolutely impossible. Another situation that is somewhat dangerous is the cooperation between Takeda Pharmaceutical and the Black Ship Organization, with the participation of the Japanese government. After all, as far as confidentiality measures are concerned, it is really against the law for a private company to achieve this level regardless of the cost.
"I'll send in more manpower—"
"No need." Jiang Chen shook his head, paused and then said, "If I guess correctly, they will make new moves soon. Your main task now is to ensure the national security of the new country and prevent the black ship organization Infiltrate into the country. At this point, the soldiers of Star Ring Trade can cooperate with you."
"Understood." Ayesha nodded seriously.
The Stinger missile and the virus that sacrificed a city had fully demonstrated the organization's determination to kill him.
However, Jiang Chen did not feel the slightest timidity.
Just kidding, what death threats has he not encountered? In the apocalypse, let alone zombies, there are countless Roshans and mutants who died in his hands. He had already dealt with the more dangerous Deathclaw head-on, so why would he be afraid of a few treacherous little mice? (.)<=""><=""><="">
