The camera was shaking violently, and the crowd was running away. Armored vehicles kept firing and drove past the main road. The heavily armed soldiers desperately pushed the crowd back and urged irrelevant people to evacuate from the street.
At this moment, a rocket hit the armored vehicle. Then, the screen was cut off roughly and switched to another lens.
Jiang Chen noticed that the word live was marked in the upper right corner of the screen.
It seems to be live broadcast.
"Where is this?" Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
These days, he has been worrying about Global Express and Future Mining, and has not paid much attention to international news.
Natasha didn't answer, just raised her chin at the TV. Soon, the white reporter on the news screen answered Jiang Chen’s questions in rapid-fire English.
"We are now in the city of Istanbul. The footage we just shot is a clip of the exchange of fire between the Japanese army and the government army. Due to security reasons, we cannot go any further. Our current position is only one kilometer away from the front line. The tanks of the government army ten minutes ago Drive through here. The bullet holes in the wall behind me are the traces left when the tank's coaxial machine gun fired at the Japanese army! According to officials in Istanbul, the Turkish government forces currently have the upper hand, but according to frontline soldiers, the battle situation is not as good as As optimistic as politicians say…”
Putting the crystal decanter on the table, Natasha took a deep breath and interjected.
"It's not that we're not optimistic, it's very pessimistic. If the current situation continues, this will no longer be a coup, but a civil war."
"What did you do?" Jiang Chen looked at Natasha with a strange expression.
As far as he knows, the relationship between Russia and Turkey seems to have never been very friendly, especially when Turkey shot down a Russian fighter jet two and a half years ago, which brought the relationship between the two countries to a freezing point, just one step away from a military confrontation.
"It's not us. Coups in Turkey are as frequent as eating and drinking. You can't blame us every time." Natasha knew what Jiang Chen was thinking and waved her hand, "We are just going to take our People were brought back. However, during the mission, we found that things were not as simple as imagined."
"Why did I find you? I remembered that you had already left the front line." Jiang Chen asked.
"Because the person in charge of this case is my boss, the KGB's manpower is a bit tight, and he has found all the people he can mobilize." Natasha sighed, and pushed her bangs back her head in annoyance, "We went out on the border. If we get into a little trouble, we almost won’t be able to come back.”
From the words "I almost couldn't come back", Jiang Chen felt the heaviness in her words.
"At first we thought this was just an ordinary coup, just more intense than before." As she spoke, Natasha ran her fingers across the wet ice wine bottle and dipped it in water on the coffee table. Writing and drawing began, "until we found this symbol among the personal belongings of a rebel general."
It was a pyramid, and the top part was an eye.
Of course Jiang Chen would not fail to recognize this symbol.
The g sandwiched between the "V" shaped ruler and book is the symbol of Freemasonry.
"Masonic… "
"That's right," Natasha snapped her fingers, "After all, Freemasonry has always been the focus of the KGB's attention, so we investigated it and found that the officer was a peripheral member of the Freemasonry. Turkey Supporters of the secularization movement.”
With that said, Natasha reached out and picked up the wine bottle, brought it to her mouth and took a sip, shaking the clear wine and looking at Jiang Chen who was lost in thought.
"I heard that the situation in the Philippines is also not peaceful?"
"That's right," Jiang Chen didn't hide anything. Since Natasha mentioned it, she must have known something inside. "The arms race between the Philippines and Moro has already begun. Even if the Philippine Army crosses the ceasefire line tomorrow, I will Not even surprised.”
Natasha grinned and said: "Really? It seems that the global situation has become tense to a considerable extent. Let's not talk about this. You definitely didn't come to me just to listen to my story, right?"
"Evelin is on Coro Island." Jiang Chen said straight to the point.
"It's actually in your hands," Natasha opened and closed her red lips in slight surprise. She glanced at Jiang Chen in surprise, exchanged positions with her crossed legs, and said to herself thoughtfully, "No wonder we I can’t find him, it turns out he’s under your control.”
"Been looking for him? It seems that the Russians are also very interested in the current situation in Germany."
"Of course, Germany is our number one trading country in Europe," Natasha looked at Jiang Chen with a smile, "I guess you won't leak this news to me on purpose. Tell me, what are your conditions?"
"Evelyn here you go, I need all your information about Freemasonry!"
"All the information? You have such a big appetite. Do you know how much information we have about them? If it were all written on A4 paper, it could fill an entire archives room. The largest underground organization in the world, from Sta. We have been keeping an eye on them since the Lin Dynasty." Natasha looked at Jiang Chen with a playful expression, "Are you planning to exchange a former German vice chancellor with us? Don't you think this is unfair?"
Jiang Chen was not discouraged by Natasha's vague answer and continued.
"Let me be clear first, are Freemasons your enemy or your friend?"
"We were enemies last century."
"We are too," Jiang Chen looked seriously into Natasha's eyes. "We are also enemies of Freemasonry. The enemy of our enemy is a friend. Am I wrong? Whether it is Ukraine or Germany, the Freemasonry-dominated Order has always been contrary to Russia's interests. Similarly, their position on the Mindanao issue is also on irreconcilable opposites to ours. In this case, facing the same enemy, we can stand on the same front Come on! This is not an exchange of interests, this is a helping hand to allies, do you understand what I mean?"
Natasha fell into silence, placing her index finger on her bright red lips, thinking about what Jiang Chen said.
"I can't make a decision. I will give you an answer the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Picking up the wine bottle from the table, Jiang Chen toasted to her and said with a smile: "Convey my words to the Kremlin intact for me."
"This is what I drank."
"But the wine is mine!"
The clock hanging on the wall pointed to half past twelve. Ayesha walked out of the kitchen with delicious food and entered the dining room next to the living room. Even from a distance, you can smell the alluring fragrance.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Chen stood up and invited with a smile.
"It's getting late, let's go after dinner."
"Leave?" Natasha raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips and smiled, "I'll live here."
