When Jiang Chen called out the holographic screen and tossed it toward Natasha, Natasha was confused by the short text .
“Didn’t you give me a list last night?” Jiang Chen smiled and reminded her .
Natasha’s emerald eyes widened, and she looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief, “it… it was this fast?”
Ayesha’s lips curved up in proudness; not saying a word .
But her eyes, that could speak, perfectly depicted the smugness she wanted to express .
“We are a private company . Compared to others, we are more focused on efficiency . ” Jiang Chen said with a smile and removed the holographic screen . “Now you can rest assured that the most important people have been saved . Our people will transfer them to a safe place . Now the decision to withdraw from the country or transfer to another place to continue working is left to your people . ”
If Mario was caught, the Russian spies and informants in the entire city of Kiev wouldn’t be able to sleep . Even if he withstood the torture and not let out a word . Those frightened informants may still become whistle-blowers and turn against the country .
If that did happen, it would be a heavy blow to Russia . At the same time, Russia’s national image would be tarnished because of the spy scandal .
Speaking of this, the Ghost Agents that saved Mario were originally sent to Ukraine to find Natasha . Except they didn’t play their role yet before Skanov, who escaped from the Freemasonry, told Jiang Chen her location .

“The Russian Security Service owes you a favor . ” Natasha looked at Jiang Chen and said with sincerity .
“What about you?” Jiang Chen half-jokingly said .
“Me?” Natasha smiled . “I gave myself to you already . What more do you want?”
At the border, Ayesha showed the documents to the border patrol and they passed by smoothly . Afterward, the group stopped at a Russian town next to the border . Jiang Chen found a restaurant opened by the locals and ordered a table full of dishes .
Compared to the time in Moscow, no one in this remote area seemed to recognize him . Compared with his identity, his Asian face was more surprising . Most of the visitors were Russians who had fled from across the border . With the lack of tourist attractions here, the locals rarely saw a foreigner .
There were very few guests in the store, and the sumptuous lunch quickly arrived at the table .
The bread in the basket was much harder compared to the ones in Moscow, and also saltier . However, the borscht in the bowl was fresher, and judging by appearance, the stew at the end would be especially delicious .
After the three cleared the dishes, Jiang Chen left money on the table before continuing on with the trip .
After crossing the border, Jiang Chen felt he was more relaxed . Although they were still traveling, because were on the Russian side, they longer worried about being caught by the Ukrainian army . The speed at which Ayesha drove naturally slowed down .

If nothing else, the three should be able to reach the city of Voronezh, the capital of Lipetsk, before dark . There was an international airport there, and Jiang Chen’s private jet had already landed .
Because of the ominous feeling lingering in his heart, Jiang Chen didn’t want to stay for a second longer . He planned to return to Xin the next morning and even canceled his plans to visit the military base established by the First and Second Orbital Airborne Brigade .
As for Natasha, she had to go back to Moscow first .
Though only after she repeatedly swore that she would never do anything stupid alone .
In the car, Jiang Chen received a long-distance call from Ivan .
After the news that Celestial Trade deployed two orbital airborne brigades in Ukraine spread, it caused a global uproar . The EU and the UA expressed shock and doubts about the use of the space elevator for military purposes . On the contrary, they didn’t respond to the involvement of Celestial Trade within the civil war .
After all, the latter was only a strategic interest, and the former is related to national security .
The UA first sent an airborne brigade and two B2 bombers to the Guam military base on the grounds of strategic balance . However, this move did not cause dissatisfaction with Xin . Instead, it resulted in backlash from Hua .
“Let them deploy . Don’t bother with them . If they don’t flex, they can’t explain this situation to their citizens . As for the threat? For someone who can turn the Capital into ruins in ten minutes even if they stuffed an armored division here, is not a threat to us . You overreacting now will only make them nervous . Ignore them and let them do their thing . As long as they don’t cross the line, just pretend like we didn’t see anything,” Jiang Chen said after listening to Ivan’s report over the phone .

“Then I should order the Guardian frigates cruising between the Pannu Islands and Guam to withdraw?” Ivan asked .
“Let’s do this… send four Guardian frigates to conduct live-fire military exercises in the waters around Ange Island . We can showcase the high-precision, long-range strike capability of our Type-50 Electromagnetic Pulse Cannon . We can’t completely ignore them . We have to appropriately flex back too, at least let the people feel at ease . But don’t trigger them, so, a landing exercise is not necessary . ”
“Roger!”
Ivan’s answer was concise .
Ivan always strictly executed Jiang Chen’s order and never made judgments in uncertain situations . These traits were what assured Jiang Chen the most . As a commander, it is essential to have one’s own judgment . But it was also important to understand the difference between an order and a judgment .
What Jiang Chen needed was not a general who was masterful in battle, but a general who could carry out his orders without compromise . As for the combat effectiveness of the army, those could be supported by technology . Do civilized people need the Art of War when fighting against cavemen?
As long as he didn’t provoke a total war with all the superpowers, Jiang Chen never considered the possibility of losing .
When the sun had almost fallen, the group finally arrived in Voronezh . Jiang Chen wanted to call General Nikolaev to inform him about his daughter’s safety, but he didn’t expect that he would be unable to reach him . Jiang Chen informed the head of the Russian Security Services about his location .
After checking into the hotel, Natasha rushed into the bathroom . She had not taken a shower for three days . Ayesha helped Jiang Chen call the front desk and ordered room service before she began to check for eavesdropping equipment in the room .
Jiang Chen, who had nothing to do, turned on the TV and sunk into the sofa .
International news happened to be on .
It showed what happened in Ukraine yesterday morning .
