As soon as the phone was connected, Yerif’s hearty laugh echoed in his ear .
“My old friend, you finally remembered me . ”
“It’s been busy these days . ” Jiang Chen laughed along .
“I can feel it,” Yerif nodded, “I have been paying attention to Colombia recently . With all due respect, you don’t seem to be in an optimistic position?”
“It depends on how you define the word optimistic,” Jiang Chen said . “Since you are keeping an eye on it, you might as well wait two days to see what will happen next . ”
“Really? I knew you’d still have some cards hidden up your sleeves . ” Yerif laughed .
Jiang Chen smiled, and then said, “You’ll see in the news . For now, let’s talk about business . ”
“The plan has been pushed ahead?” Yeirf had already sensed the purpose of the call .
“Yes,” Jiang Chen nodded and leaned back in his chair . “We’re ready . Ten thousand mercenaries have been assembled in the port of Madagascar and they are ready to set off for the Red Sea . ”
“Are you sure this is the right time?” Yerif asked .
“There is no better time than now . If we wait till the end of the year, the variables would be more uncertain,” Jiang Chen said .
NATO’s eyes were completely focused on South America . At this moment, even if a big shift happened in Syria, it was unlikely for the UA to create a second battlefield in the Middle East .
The only possible risk was that intervening in Syria could potentially offset the regional balance in the area . However, based on the consideration that Celestial Trade did not plan to be heavily involved, even if the balance was tipped, Jiang Chen would not be the one having a headache .
Yerif rubbed his beard and after a moment of thought, he said .
“You can register a shell company in Madagascar . I will use my import and export company to sign a fruit import agreement with your shell company . Five large cargo ships will depart from Jeddah to the port of Madagascar . Just let your people board my cargo ships with fruit at that time . The UA has been patrolling the Gulf of Aden, but they usually don’t touch the ships of the Saudi Royal Family . It’s just that your people have to squeeze into the containers . ”
“No problem, that is nothing to them,” Jiang Chen said softly, “I’ll get someone to look after the shell company today, and it can be done by tomorrow afternoon . Get your ships to set off as soon as possible . ”
“This is not something that can be rushed,” Yerif said, then shook his head, “It takes about three working days to complete the necessary processes . If we can follow the formal procedures, we should try to follow the formal procedures . You don’t want to be targeted by the CIB . ”
“Then you decide the time,” Jiang Chen said .
Yerif thought for a moment, then said .
“July 1st . It is more fitting for it to be at the start of the month . ”
“Great . ” Jiang Chen laughed .
“Well, I wish you all the best in your plan,” Yeirf also laughed along and said in a relaxed tone, “I’m still waiting for you to fulfill your promise and transform my country into an oasis . ”
On June 27th, NATO coalition forces crossed the Atlantic and landed in South America .
After the coalition forces disembarked at the port of Barranquilla, they immediately proceeded to the front line between the Colombian government and the FARC rebels – Bucaramanga . About half a month ago, the UA Marine Corps had already established a temporary military base and airport runway here . At this moment, it was used to house the coalition forces .
In less than a week, the UA had mobilized many of its allies to participate in the war, and the total force now exceeded 90,000 . Even South Korea sent dozens of people to participate in the fun as a response to the UA’s call .
And while NATO was busy rallying to Colombia, Jiang Chen was also busy .
Moro’s soldiers had quietly set off, in batches, to the New Moon Island military base .
A total of 200,000 soldiers were divided into two groups on New Moon Island . A small number of people took-off in a large military transport plane directly to the FARC-controlled Cucuta Airport, while most of the remaining soldiers boarded a transport ship to Venezuela under the escort of the Celestial Trade Navy .
Santos commanded a total of 800,000 troops, and he dispatched a quarter of his country’s army at once, which demonstrated his willingness .
Of course, Jiang Chen didn’t treat him poorly either .
Not only the military expenses for this expedition were borne by Celestial Trade, but Celestial Trade also gave Moro 2 billion XND in “compensation” based on the headcount, which was equivalent to ten thousand dollars for each soldier . This may be a drop in the bucket for Celestial Trade, but it was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for Moro, which was in desperate need of foreign exchange .
The tit-for-tat confrontation between the UA and Xin on the South American issue pushed the global political situation on a knife’s edge . With a little carelessness, the two powerful giants may end up in a conflict . If one of the sides failed to remain rational, it could potentially trigger a worldwide disaster .
However, almost all international commentators in the world shared a pessimism about future prospects .
The reason was very simple, because Celestial Trade’s leader did not behave like a politician at all .
He did not possess the rationality, compromise, and forbearing qualities that a politician should possess, and all his actions never considered any political significance, because he was not a politician himself, and his country’s congress and the president did not have any constraint on his power . His first response to the Xin delegation’s movement restriction was not through diplomatic channels, but to directly deploy special forces . He even shamelessly used the local rebels as scapegoats in the end while he claimed that he only spent money to purchase the “hostages” back .
No one believed that a group of guerrillas could enter the city center without being detected, and completely cripple a company of soldiers!
However, FARC was happy to be the scapegoat without feeling shameless at all . On the contrary, it left Colombia and the UA speechless, as well as the commentators that closely followed this incident .
In five months, it was the UA general election .
The overlord of the old world would elect its ruler .
Based on the current polls, Joseph Kennedy’s approval rate was slightly higher than the Internet celebrity Mr . Trump . However, what surprised the UA citizens was that after several debates, Trump’s approval rating rose instead of fell .
Curses, offensive comments, ridicules, and black humor filled this election . The televised debate that ended just now could only be described as “a mess” . People all over the world were paying close attention to this election to see what else the seemingly careless new candidate had to say .
At least one thing, whether correct or not, most people, especially young people, agreed .
Hua took away their jobs, Xin took away their hegemony, and the UA was in decline . The UA should strengthen its strategic deployment in the Pacific . If an aircraft carrier battle group was not sufficient, then send a few more .
Then, a tough president would negotiate with them .
Also, the UA should indeed restrict immigration .
