In the afternoon of the same day, Shatov returned to Russia on a special plane of the Russian military. When leaving, Jiang Chen specially gave him the "Swordbreaker-1" in the warehouse and asked him to take it back as a sample for the Kremlin people to take a look at.
As for whether the Russians will restore the "Swordbreaker-1" technology through reverse engineering, Jiang Chen is not worried about this issue.
The technological gap is there. Even if the Russians are given ten years to study this "Swordbreaker-1", they may not be able to imitate their own emp weapon with only a dozen limited samples.
What's more, the coverage area of Swordbreaker-1 is only 100,000 square kilometers of emp, which is only equivalent to a quarter of California. As far as strategic-level weapons are concerned, it is not considered a top-notch gadget in Jiang Chen's hands. It can only be regarded as a first-generation strategic-level EMP weapon.
At least those Dolphin-10 intercontinental missiles deployed on the seabed are equipped with millions of square kilometers of EMP combat components. That is the real big killer, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the killer of modern civilization!
The Kremlin did not keep Jiang Chen waiting for long. On the third day after the meeting in Mindanao, the Russian side took the initiative to contact Jiang Chen. At Natasha's invitation, Jiang Chen went to the Russian Embassy
What surprised Jiang Chen even more was that the person contacting him turned out to be the President of Russia, Putin!
There was no unnecessary nonsense. After the call was connected, Putin went directly to the topic and put forward his own requirements.
"Twenty Swordbreaker-1 combat parts. If you are unwilling to sell related technologies, I hope you will at least open the arms sales window."
"No problem. If you use up these 20 Swordbreaker-1s, I can sell you another 20 emp combat parts at a lower price. But I have a request, which is to send our commissioners to you. We must at least confirm that the 'gift' we gave you was used on the battlefield or in exercises and not reimbursed in the laboratory." Jiang Chen said.
"What's the lower price?" Putin asked.
"340 million rubles."
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's quotation, Pu Jin looked a little surprised.
It's not because of the price. 340 million rubles is equivalent to 5 million US dollars. Compared with the damage effect it causes, this price is still reasonable. What really surprised Putin was that Jiang Chen proposed to use rubles as the settlement currency.
If he remembered correctly, several arms sales contracts had previously been negotiated with New Zealand, all of which were in U.S. dollars.
"No dollars?" Putin asked bluntly.
"My intuition tells me that the ruble will be very valuable in the near future." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
It may fall in the short term, but in the long run, it will at least be worth more than it is now. However, the reason why Jiang Chen did this was not entirely because of the expected appreciation of the ruble. There was another, more important reason.
On the other end of the phone, Putin laughed twice.
"Haha, in Chinese terms, I'd like to lend you some good words."
"It seems that our cooperation has been completed?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.
Although they failed to bring the ASP consortium on the other side of the ocean onto the chariot, they successfully attracted Lao Maozi. The Freemasons based in Europe can no longer put pressure on the new country by staying aloof. The threat from the east will directly approach their hinterland.
"I wish us a happy cooperation." Pugin said with a smile.
“Happy to work with!”
…
While the situation in Mindanao continues to heat up, the Ukraine crisis has once again broken into the attention of people around the world. With Russia's high-profile increase of 100,000 army troops and the deployment of the Crimean Peninsula and the Russian-Ukrainian border, Europe, which has been experiencing ups and downs one after another, has once again stood on the edge of a stormy wave.
This time the Russians not only showed off their muscles toughly, but also showed their determination to win. When facing reporters, Putin reiterated Russia's position of supporting the right of Russians to choose their own destiny and recognized for the first time the legitimacy of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic.
Such a move undoubtedly greatly encouraged the civilian armed forces still fighting in Donetsk City and other areas. Since the ceasefire agreement was implemented, they and the Ukrainian government forces have never achieved a true ceasefire.
The Western world was in an uproar.
No one expected that Russia would suddenly behave in such an irrational manner.
The European Commission held an emergency meeting in this regard. At the same time, the next day, 11 countries including France, Germany, and Poland issued statements one after another. If Russian troops dared to cross the Russian-Ukrainian border, it would be regarded as a provocation to the United Nations Charter.
The strongest reaction came from the United States on the other side of the Pacific.
The White House spokesperson claimed that if Russia crosses the Russian-Ukrainian border, NATO may also set a precedent of sending troops to non-member friendly countries. At the same time, President Hillary also revealed new sanctions against Russia in an interview with the media.
However, some analysts commented that whether the sanctions this time will be effective, whether NATO will break this precedent, and whether these checks will be cashed are still open to question.
Due to the outbreak of the civil war in Turkey, the *** army controlled a large area of territory in eastern Turkey, resulting in the "southern corridor" from Europe to Azerbaijan being cut off.
It has to be said that in the Freemasonry's hasty plan to implement secular Turkey, the civil war turned out to be a major failure due to Russia's sudden attack on the Ukrainian issue. As the southern corridor was cut off due to war, Europe's natural gas supply pressure increased sharply. In contrast, Europe's demand for imported natural gas from Russia rose sharply.
If the EU joins the new sanctions against Russia advocated by the United States, the EU, which is "anemic" for natural gas, will become the biggest loser.
Even if the Freemasons intend to push the EU to confront Russia on the Ukraine issue, in a practical sense, their industries in Europe also rely on natural gas imported from Russia.
Russia's sudden attack will undoubtedly disrupt their strategic layout.
At this moment, in the presidential palace of the new country, Jiang Chen and Zhang Yaping were discussing issues in Madagascar.
Just yesterday, Zhang Yaping just concluded his diplomatic visit to Madagascar and achieved good results.
"Madagascar has agreed to engage in deeper cooperation with us in the economic and trade field. If we are willing to assist them in rebuilding the Mayotte power grid and provide a US$1 billion aid loan, they will agree to contract the mining area in northern Madagascar to us... where the original It was an asset belonging to Arrowhead Corporation, but it was confiscated as a national asset after the nuclear bomb crisis.”
"No problem, agree to his conditions." Jiang Chen said.
At this moment, a phone call suddenly came.
Jiang Chen clicked 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 took his cell phone, walked to the window of the President's Office, and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"It's Filipinos! They took action!"
Although he had expected it, when this moment actually came, Jiang Chen's heart still twitched twice.
The war finally broke out! (.)
