Chapter 1134 Code Name 007
Future Building, Coro City .
They were still in the conference room, but this time Mr . Kishida did not bring his delegation . He came alone . Jiang Chen’s assistant poured two cups of tea for the two and then exited out of the meeting room .
“According to your request, we are discussing reducing the military budget for UA troops stationed in Nippon,” Kishida politely said after looking at the door and confirmed that there was no one else in the room .
Although the purpose of the Earth Defense Alliance was aimed at extraterrestrial civilization, it was ultimately a form of military alliance . Since Nippon joined the Earth Defense Alliance, it naturally should not accept the garrison of other military bodies .
Since they were all in the same trench, they couldn’t wear the same pants as someone from another trench .
After he discussed this matter with leaders from Han and Russia, Jiang Chen agreed that the issue of UA troops stationed in Nippon should be resolved .
“Reducing? Why not just cut the budget?” Jiang Chen smiled, sipped on the tea, and said, “Do you still want them?”
“Not at all!” Kishida’s eyes turned bigger as he rushed to explain, “It’s just that you know . After all, they are at our doorstep and we are afraid of aggravating them . What’s the saying? Boiling the frog with warm water…”
He certainly changed his stance quickly over the past few weeks .
Jiang Chen looked at Kishida describing everything in a vivid voice and faked a smile .
Although the saying is indeed right, the frog will still jump out once the water is too hot .
Abolishing the security treaty, or slowly forcing the UA troops to withdraw by reducing their budget are essentially no different to the UA . Just as how 80 degrees or 100 degrees water will still burn the frog .
But for Nippon, there was a big difference .
Although the UA military that had yet to withdraw is troublesome, on the other hand, it could also be considered a bargaining chip in their hands to exchange for certain benefits . For example, they could negotiate for an additional asteroid at the negotiating table and win more projects for their domestic aerospace companies…
Jiang Chen never expected Nippon to fully commit to the Earth Defense Alliance . It was expected that they planned to use this as leverage, and the other member states all shared the same perspective .
It was already a not-so-secret conspiracy .
While it was obvious, as long as their request remained reasonable, Jiang Chen didn’t mind . A small step back would be worth it for the countries still on the sideline .
They already drunk two cups of tea .
Kishida quietly glanced at the time . He sensed the opportunity was right and smiled . “If by that time…”
“Don’t worry, if they’re still there, I will kick them out myself . ” Jiang Chen waved his hand with certainty .
The smile on Kishida was extremely bright . Jiang Chen didn’t know if it was fake or from the bottom of his heart .
“Thank you . ”
After Jiang Chen sent Kishida away, he returned to his office on the top floor .

He took the coffee from the beautiful assistant and sank into his chair . He then opened his holographic screen and began reading each company department’s report .
He didn’t even finish one-fourth of the coffee before Ayesha came in .
She stood behind Jiang Chen as her two small hands habitually rested on top of his shoulders and began to massage them .
“The task you have given me has been completed . ”
“This quickly?” Jiang Chen said, surprised .
A rare smile belonging to a girl formed on Ayesha’s face .
Jiang Chen’s surprise was an affirmation for her .
Or a good reward .
She quickly hid her smile and returned to her emotionless state . Then she reported .
“According to the intelligence we have gathered, the CIB’s penetration of Nippon has reached an alarming level . There is enough evidence to prove that at least 51 members of the Senate and the House of Representatives are directly or indirectly related to the CIB . ”
“That many? It seems that the political scene of the country has become ill . ” Jiang Chen was shocked by the figure .
It is no wonder that before Kishida reached an agreement with Jiang Chen, he stayed in Xin . It was because he did not dare to go back .

“Yes, it’s already ill . ” Ayesha nodded with certainty .
Since the Cold War, the UA never ceased its intelligence operation in Nippon . It continued to support pro-UA candidates to maintain their influence .
Roger Hillsman, who served as deputy secretary of state during the previous administration, said that until the early 1960s, the CIB provided funding to politicians . Although all activities were carried out in secret, espionage became a vital part of foreign policy in Nippon .
With the financial assistance of the CIB, some unknown and young politicians became influential members of the country . This included a former deputy prime minister that denied he received financial support but admitted that he was “closely related to CIB” .
Since the showdown on the Pacific Ocean, Jiang Chen issued an order to the intelligence department to expand the number of agents in Nippon and set up a larger intelligence network to remove foreign intelligence networks .
It must be mentioned here that the intelligence department of Xin is divided into two systems . One was the Xin National Intelligence Agency under the jurisdiction of Celestial Trade Armed Forces; it was an administrative institution of the company . The other was the Ghost Agents directly loyal to Jiang Chen .
The former was mainly engaged in the collection of international intelligence and national counter-espionage work . The latter not only served part of the functions of the former, but the latter also engaged in espionage activities such as assassinating dangerous targets that must remain in the dark .
Simply put, the former was the eye while the latter was the dagger .
Ayesha’s focus for the past was to integrate the power of the eye and the dagger with the goal of forming Xin’s own intelligence network in Nippon .
Now with the eye and the dagger already in place, with just one order from Jiang Chen place; they could remove any foreign intelligence network on the island and become the new “master” .
He leaned back, then looked at Ayesha .
“Do you think the CIB is aware of our actions?”

“They are aware,” Ayesha gently rubbed her hands on Jiang Chen’s cheek . “They have already begun to move . According to the intelligence from Nippon, they are forging scandal documents of the prime minister . Within two months, the current prime minister will be ousted . The code of the mission is ‘Closing Plan’, and the ultimate goal is to elect a pro-UA cabinet . ”
“Closing Plan?” Jiang Chen smiled, intrigued . “This is forcing us to also come up with a ‘Supporting Plan’?”
After a short pause, Jiang Chen continued . “What is the stance of the Nippon government now?”
“Keeping one eye open, but no action yet . ”
“Oh, it seems that they are certain that we will help, so they decided not to join the fun . ” Jiang Chen’s smile gradually disappeared, “Since they asked for it, we’ll give them a prescription . Get our agents to prepare, it is time for war . ”
Ayesha looked shocked .
“Roger . ”
“Get all the Mickey Mouses out of the country!”
“As for the code name of the mission,” Jiang Chen paused for a moment as a wicked smile appeared on his face, “let’s call it ‘007’ . ”
