The next morning.
Jiang Cheng got up from the bed and put on his clothes. After the last naval battle, a lot of matters were left waiting for Jiang Cheng to deal with. He had to fulfill his obligations as the owner of the island.
…
Nanyao Island.
Central Command Operations Center.
In the spacious hall, Jiang Cheng sat upright in a chair, listening to the report from the head of the intelligence department.
"Commander, our fleet has been circling Jeju Island for three days now. Can we return now?"
The intelligence chief looked at Jiang Cheng with an anxious expression on his face and asked him for instructions.
As the head of intelligence for Emerald Island, he had collected a lot of important intelligence in the past few days and had been wanting to report it to Jiang Cheng, but he couldn't find anyone at all. After contacting through layers of contacts, he finally found Jiang Cheng's personal secretary, but he only got a reply that "Mr. Island Owner is on vacation and will not discuss work", which made him anxious like an ant on a hot pan.
Fortunately, I finally met Jiang Cheng early this morning, and then I hurriedly asked Jiang Cheng for instructions.
"What happened? Didn't I tell the fleet to stay near Jeju Island to demonstrate to the Han country?"
After listening to the words of the head of the intelligence department, Jiang Cheng frowned slightly.
In his opinion, the Han side had made such a drastic move, and he had only stayed in the other side's waters for a few days, which was already an advantage for the other side. Now the warning effect has not yet been fully achieved, so how could he withdraw so quickly
"That's right, Commander. According to our intelligence investigation, the U.S. military base on Taro Island seems to be gathering a fleet!"
"What?"
Jiang Cheng was slightly stunned, with a solemn expression on his face, and then asked: "What's going on? The other party can't act so suddenly, right?"
"It was Han's Minister of Defense who suddenly visited the United States the day before yesterday." The intelligence chief explained to Jiang Cheng.
After hearing this, Jiang Cheng understood.
It's not hard to guess that after watching their old nest being rummaged around like a vegetable market and experiencing all kinds of humiliation, the Han side had no choice but to turn to their stepfather for help.
In addition, Jiang Cheng could even imagine that in order to seek help from the United States, the defense minister must have obtained Lee Zairong's consent and sold some political and economic conditions to the United States in exchange for the other party's military support.
"Is there any other action from Samsung?" Jiang Cheng frowned and asked again.
"Early this morning, Samsung Electronics held a press conference in Seoul, announcing that Samsung has agreed to Apple's acquisition plan and will complete the acquisition in the near future.
The intelligence chief informed Jiang Cheng of another breaking news!
"hehe!"
Jiang Cheng laughed out loud after hearing this, but his eyes were full of coldness.
It’s really interesting!
The former world's largest mobile phone manufacturer and the world's second largest mobile phone manufacturer have actually merged at this time. It is obvious that they are joining forces to deal with Emerald Island's flexible mobile phone.
Seeing the advent of the era of flexible mobile phones, Apple probably realized that its good days were coming to an end. In addition, Samsung suffered a heavy blow, so it took full advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and directly acquired Samsung Electronics, which had been a pressure on it.
After such a merger, the two parties will inevitably become a powerful combination, which will inevitably pose a threat to Emerald Island's flexible mobile phone brand. This is almost foreseeable.
You know, before this, Samsung and Apple had both become unicorn-like mobile phone giants in their respective fields of expertise, but because of a certain degree of mutual dependence in technology, neither could swallow the other in one bite, which also restricted each other's development and growth.
However, after Emerald Island's interference, the two sides naturally reached a consensus on interests and united at this time. In this way, the two sides will inevitably complement each other in both technology and operations, thereby achieving further improvement.
This is definitely not good news for Emerald Island.
Moreover, after this incident, Jiang Cheng even vaguely saw an exchange of political interests between the two sides.
The unusual movements at the Taro Island military base are a good proof of this.
"Tell me about the situation on Tarot Island." Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and asked.
"The Taro Island Military Base is the largest naval base of the United States in the Pacific Ocean. The Seventh Fleet of the United States is stationed there. This is a very powerful fleet. Most importantly, it has an ocean-going firepower formation consisting of five aircraft carriers. At critical moments, it is enough to carry out the mission of destroying a country. In addition, in recent times, the Taro Island Military Base seems to have mobilized a group of warships from other bases, and now..."
This intelligence chief was very responsible and reported all the intelligence he collected to Jiang Cheng.
After listening to the other party's report, Jiang Cheng frowned and fell into deep thought for a long time.
To be honest, he had not anticipated the unusual movements at the Taro Island military base. Of course, this was more of a compromise on the part of Samsung. The other party was willing to give up Samsung Electronics in exchange for US military support. This could be considered as cutting off an arm to survive!
This caught Jiang Cheng off guard.
According to his original plan, he wanted to destroy Samsung and solve this major problem in one fell swoop, but he did not expect that the United States would intervene at the critical moment.
To be honest, Jiang Cheng was not too afraid of the combination of Apple and Samsung. When it came to technology, he had never been afraid of anyone.
However, in military and political terms, he was a little timid!
For now, Jiang Cheng does not want to be too ostentatious and provoke powerful enemies. Instead, he wants to focus on economic development and technology first, and then seek greater international power after he has enough influence.
After some careful consideration, Jiang Cheng sighed slightly, then said to the intelligence director: "Inform the fleet to return to Nanyue Island!"
The intelligence chief, who had been keeping a close eye on Jiang Cheng, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Jiang Cheng's words.
This intelligence chief can be said to be the one who knows the most about the current surrounding situation facing Emerald Island. In his opinion, this naval battle on Emerald Island has achieved perfect political results and can be called off.
Otherwise, if this continues, other neighboring countries will inevitably overreact, and by then, Emerald Island may no longer be justified.
Therefore, now is the best opportunity to stop. On the one hand, we can avoid a direct confrontation with the United States, and on the other hand, we can show the world the peaceful, friendly and just image of the Emerald Island.
Why not do something so beneficial
