Chapter 1,148 The War Is About to Begin

"There's something going on at the border," Jiang Chen looked at Jimenez with a half-smile and threw a newspaper on the table, "Although I guess you already knew it."

The headline of the newspaper was exactly the tragedy that happened on the border between North and South Colombia. The spokespersons of both sides immediately pointed out that the other party was responsible for the attack, making the truth of the entire incident temporarily confusing.

To be honest, Jiang Chen was more inclined to believe that Jimenez, an old fox, directed and acted in this attack. After all, he really couldn't believe that Northern Colombia had been beaten like this and he dared to actively create trouble and tear up the ceasefire agreement.

However, Jimenez's performance was so realistic, with his angry pupils and tightly clenched fists, it really didn't look like it was staged.

"These scum! Shameful liars! They actually tore up the ceasefire agreement!" He was cursing in Spanish that Jiang Chen couldn't understand. At this moment, Jimenez was like an angry bull, wanting to bite his teeth into pieces.

Although he cursed like this, in fact, until yesterday, he and his men were planning to cause some trouble at the border to create an excuse to tear up the armistice agreement. I just didn't expect that they and the people from Northern Columbia thought of going together, and they got the better of them, and they threw a "self-directed and self-acted" hat backhand.

Regardless of how Jimenez was sitting there cursing, Jiang Chen clicked on his watch with the flashing signal light on, leaned on his chair and answered the phone.

The call was from Ayesha.

As soon as they received the news, the ghost agents stationed in South America rushed to the scene of the incident. After investigating clues on the scene, they initially determined that the attacker was a former Colombian naval special force.

Speaking of which, this special forces and the FARC led by Jimenez can be said to be old enemies. When Southern Colombia was not yet called Southern Colombia and FARC was still fighting guerrillas in the Andes Mountains, this special force was Colombia's main counter-insurgency and anti-narcotics force. Many FARC senior officials died at the hands of this special force.

"I see."

After nodding and hanging up the phone call from Ayesha, Jiang Chen continued to look at Jimenez.

"The ones who attacked the border post were the Northern Colombian Naval Special Forces. This name should be familiar to you."

"...I remember them turning to ashes." Jimenez said with a gloomy expression.

"I will lend you my Kongtian G100, and you will return home immediately in the afternoon," Jiang Chen continued after a pause, "I know what you are thinking, but I still say the same thing, stay calm before the opportunity comes."

"They have all bullied us, and you still tell me to stay calm? The people below are waiting to see my reaction. Tell me, how can I stay calm?" Jimenez said angrily.

"I allow you to retaliate appropriately against them, but no matter how you make trouble, you must remember that maintaining the ceasefire agreement is our bottom line. Before you get my permission, if you tear up the ceasefire agreement without authorization, then everything will You bear the consequences yourself." Staring into Jimenez's eyes, Jiang Chen said in a tone that could not be refused.

The silence lasted for about a minute, and Jimenez finally nodded with difficulty.

"……good."

…

In the afternoon, with a faint blue arc light, the silver-white sky G100 disappeared above the clouds. Jiang Chen temporarily lent his car to Jimenez so that he could return to the country as soon as possible and stabilize the situation in Southern Colombia.

Six soldiers at the border post were slaughtered and insulting graffiti was spray-painted on the walls.

Such a shame and humiliation made the war faction in Southern Colombia almost explode with anger. Even the peace faction that originally supported maintaining the status quo has now become silent and is preparing to change its thinking. When something like this happened, everyone felt angry, and this anger became increasingly uncontrollable.

It was impossible to do nothing. I got Jiang Chen's permission for "limited revenge" and returned to the country.

Jimenez immediately convened the Supreme Military Council of Southern Colombia and formulated actions to retaliate.

It is also too low-level to cause an attack on the border, and Northern Columbia must have been prepared for it. If someone is caught wrongly, it will be unclear if it is justified. Jimenez chose to approach it from another angle and sent more than two hundred well-trained guerrillas across the border.

All electricity, water, and communication facilities were included in the attack targets. For a time, fires broke out frequently at the North Columbia power plant. Power outages occurred occasionally in the entire city, and civilian communications were also interrupted from time to time. This caused a headache for the North Columbia authorities for a while. They had to bring in people from the FBI and CIA to help, and they were able to contain it. These guerrilla raids.

Of course, this alone is not enough.

In order to calm the anger of the main militant faction and to prevent himself from suffering internal injuries, on the morning of December 30, an explosion suddenly occurred at a military camp on the outskirts of Monteria, Northern Colombia. A total of six soldiers died on the spot, two were seriously injured, and 17 soldiers suffered varying degrees of minor injuries.

Northern Colombia declared a national state of emergency, while condemning the attack in Southern Colombia as an act of terrorism, and threatened to not rule out the use of military means to respond to the attack.

Just when North and South Colombia were accusing each other of being the first provocation, NATO suddenly made new moves.

At the NATO Foreign Ministers’ Meeting held in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, the NATO Secretary-General revealed a piece of breaking news in his speech——

NATO will deploy four more modern divisions to southern Colombia within a year to stabilize the turbulent situation in South America...

"Bernice found a donation, and there are many interesting names on the donation list." Standing in the study room of the villa, Ayesha reported the latest situation to Jiang Chen.

"Who is the payee?" Jiang Chen asked.

"The Colombian Unification Fund is a fund organization specially established by the Northern Colombian government to facilitate the receipt of financial assistance from the American Democracy Foundation and the purchase of arms from North American arms dealers through legal channels." As she spoke, Ayesha handed over a list of names. He gently placed it on Jiang Chen's desk, "The names of some of the donors are on it."

Staring at the remarkable surnames on the list, Jiang Chen thought for a moment and spoke.

"If we make the list public..."

"It doesn't make much sense. This list seems to be semi-public to begin with." Ayesha shook her head and said, "And there is no direct evidence to prove that this donation is directly related to the events that occurred on the border between North and South Colombia."

"That's it..." His index finger gently tapped on the armrest of the boss's chair. Jiang Chen looked out the window and said thoughtfully, "Is there any news from North America?"

"One more thing," Ayesha nodded. "The day before the NATO foreign ministers' meeting, the U.S. Pentagon also held a high-level military meeting. The specific content of the discussions is not clear, but it is said that the topics of the meeting were related to the defense budget... "
