The boss has many secrets.
The longer Ivan followed Jiang Chen, the more Ivan felt this way.
But being able to sit in this position has proven that he is a smart man. This smartness does not mean being clever or being clever, but it means having the ability, and most importantly, knowing what one should and should not do.
Really smart people tend not to ask too many questions.
In a training ground isolated by bulletproof glass, a big man in steel armor performed a series of tactical actions according to the instructions of the experimenter. Including ejecting thermal decoys, emergency jet evasion, ejecting the rotating gun barrel to straf the target... and so on.
Those who are qualified to serve as power armor drivers are elites in the Star Ring trade, and they need to go through strict assessment procedures regardless of loyalty or combat effectiveness.
When he saw the power armor in the training ground and tore apart a Humvee with his bare hands, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction.
"It's simply a war machine... No matter how many times I see it, the combat effectiveness of this T-3 is always so shocking." Ivan sighed from the side.
"It was originally a war machine." Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and said with a smile as he watched the powered armor use its front armor to resist an incoming RG.
High mobility, high defense, and can traverse nuclear radiation areas...
In infantry combat, such individual armor has almost no opponent.
"How many people in the army have received power armor training?"
"Twenty people in total."
"It's not enough," Jiang Chen shook his head, "We must maintain at least a hundred people. You go and prepare, and then transfer eighty people from other organizations to receive power armor operation training."
"But there are only five armors on Crescent Island now, and they are used in rotation even for daily training. If we expand the establishment further, we will not have the equipment to use." Ivan said with a look of embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter, I will send someone to deliver a hundred units tomorrow." Jiang Chen said lightly
"One hundred units! Isn't the output of that thing very low?!" Ivan said in shock.
When he first started the power armor training, he had applied to Jiang Chen, hoping to get a few more power armors into the army. It is too troublesome for four people to train using the same equipment. However, the application for equipment was rejected by Jiang Chen because the armor output was too low.
But now, Jiang Chen directly waved his hand and promised to transfer a hundred stations. How could Ivan not be shocked
"Isn't the output of this thing very low?"
"The output will change, but it has increased now." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
At the end of the world, after completing the Hongcheng strategy plan, NAC's trade routes to the hinterland of the mainland were further opened. As the labor force increases and material input increases, production capacity will naturally increase. The original monthly output of powered armor was only 5-10 units, but now it has increased to about 30 units.
As the situation stabilized, NAC did not need so much power armor for the time being, but the number of arms orders did not decline. The extra arms were naturally transported to the present world by Jiang Chen.
When Jiang Chen was about to leave, Ivan suddenly asked.
"Are there any plans for another military operation?"
"No, what's wrong?" Jiang Chen turned around and asked.
"No, I saw you expanding your army and thought you were preparing for war again." Ivan said with a smile.
"Just in case you need it—"
Before he finished speaking, an alarm suddenly sounded in the military camp. The soldiers on duty rushed out of the barracks, having finished wearing their exoskeleton equipment, and gathered in the open space.
Jiang Chen looked at Ivan questioningly.
Looking in the direction of the alarm bell, Ivan's eyes sharpened and he said, "Alarm level 4, I'm going to find out what's going on."
Even though it was the lowest level of alarm, he still didn't show any carelessness.
"I am coming too."
As nothing happened, Jiang Chen followed Ivan and walked in the direction of the open space.
The sound of the alarm did not disrupt the order of the camp. Except for the twenty soldiers gathered in the open space, everyone else was still doing what they were supposed to do. Only the first-level alarm, which symbolizes war, would mobilize all combat units in the camp. When the level four alarm is sounded, it is nothing more than the radar detecting a stowaway ship or finding someone calling for help in the controlled waters. Only the quick reaction force on duty will be mobilized.
Following Ivan into the command room, the chief of staff had already greeted him and briefly reported the situation.
"Three hundred nautical miles north of Crescent Island, distress signals from civilian ships were received on the high seas, but they were quickly interrupted. There were no storms or other meteorological disasters in the target sea area, and the target was suspected of encountering pirates. The rapid reaction force has been prepared, and the Aurora-20 has been Take off to the target sea area, the Black Hawk helicopter will take off in 2 minutes."
"Life signal?"
"Weak." The chief of staff said solemnly.
…
Luxurious and comfortable, this is Royal Caribbean.
The US$10,000 ticket starts from Sri Lanka, crosses the Bay of Bengal, drifts through the Strait of Malacca, stops in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, and finally sails to Wanghai City. The passengers on the ship are all wealthy businessmen and celebrities, as well as elites from all walks of life. After all, those who can afford a ticket of 10,000 US dollars must be middle class.
In the corner of the cruise ship, two men sit at a beach table.
Judging from the arrogant look on his face, the man in a suit and leather shoes seemed to have a good status. There were two bodyguards wearing sunglasses standing behind him. The person sitting opposite him was a little strange, not because he didn't have a bodyguard, but because of the peaked cap on his head.
No matter which angle you look at it, this hat is an eyesore.
The man in the suit frowned, thinking this in his mind.
"Mr. Tianyou, thank you for coming to the appointment. I, Tanaka Yoshihiro, this is my business card." Tanaka handed over the business card in his hand with a smile.
Zhu Tianyou did not take the business card in his hand, but just winked at the bodyguard behind him, and the bodyguard took the business card.
"Anyone who knows me knows that I hate talking about business during breaks." Zhu Tianyou leaned on the chair and slowly raised his right leg on his left knee. "But I am very interested in your proposal. But I I’m curious, can you eat ten tons of salt?”
The salt in his mouth certainly does not refer to table salt.
It is a hallucinogen containing methcathinone, whose scientific name is "bath salt".
"Please rest assured about this, sir." Tanaka Yoshihiro smiled, "We have just received a 'donation' recently, and we have plenty of funds on hand."
Zhu Tianyou glanced at the Japanese sideways, and then glanced around him habitually.
He was not interested in caring about what the "donation" Tanaka Yoshihiro said, nor was he interested in knowing where he planned to sell the drugs.
Of course, if it is shipped to Tokyo, he will consider giving him a discount.
"The rules on the road are to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. You decide the transaction location, but it must be at the Ethiopian border." Zhu Tianyou leaned on the chair, rubbing the ring on his thumb with his index finger.
The main component of bath salt is MDV, and this chemical mainly comes from Arabic tea.
Ethiopia is one of its main producing areas.
"No problem. How much is Mr. Zhu going to bid for ten tons of salt?" Tanaka Yoshihiro smiled and nodded.
"three million."
"… JPY?"
Zhu Tianyou sneered. Judging from Tanaka's embarrassed expression, he already knew that the other party couldn't afford it.
"I thought he was doing some big business, but he turned out to be a poor man."
Since the buyer had no money, the business naturally failed. Zhu Tianyou stood up and prepared to leave. If he were anywhere else, he might have broken two fingers of this person who wasted his time, but on this cruise ship, he didn't want to cause trouble.
"Can't it be cheaper?" Tanaka did not get up, but just tried to persuade him.
"How much can you give?" Zhu Tianyou stopped, looked at him, and said with a half-smile.
"Five million yen."
"No need to talk."
"That's really a pity." Tanaka shook his head, but the smiling expression on his face never changed, "It seems I can only get it myself."
While saying this, he put his fingers on the brim of his hat.
Unable to help it, Zhu Tianyou felt a faint warning sign in his heart... (.)
