Chapter 424: The Smoke of Pagadian City

d "The day before yesterday, Philippine anti-government armed forces launched a raid on Pagadian City, a town in western Mindanao at 9:00 p.m. They set fire to and destroyed 4 city police stations, 2 bus stations, 2 government office buildings and 2 power generation plants in the city station, resulting in a large-scale power outage in the urban area.”

"A fierce exchange of fire took place between the two sides in the northern neighborhood of the city, killing 101 local troops and injuring 210. Five hours after the incident, the Moro National Liberation Front declared responsibility for the attack and said it would carry out the Mindanao Liberation Movement to the end."

"It is reported that more than 1,000 militants participated in the attack. During the battle, the rebels used a large number of American-made weapons and equipment such as m4a1 assault rifles and night vision goggles, and were equipped with a large number of anti-armor weapons such as rpg-7 and heavy-duty mortars. Infantry weapons may be the largest attack in 30 years. Its equipment is superior to that of the local garrison, and the source of the MLO equipment is a mystery."

"Twelve hours after the incident, the Aquino government strongly condemned the attack and the organization that provided weapons and equipment to the anti-government forces, and said it would consider sending armored troops to Mindanao to wipe out guerrillas operating there, and would do whatever it takes The price is to track down the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Some analysts have commented that this attack may mark the bankruptcy of the peace agreement reached between the Philippine government and the MILO in 2012. The Aquino government's increase of troops to Mindanao may cause opposition from the MILO that has reached a peace agreement. But if If there is no increase in troops, the situation in the region may further deteriorate, and the Aquino government is already in a difficult situation."

"There are also military analysts who say that the Philippine armored forces are not easy to deploy in the rugged terrain of Mindanao. Even if the armored forces are dispatched, they may not be able to achieve results in the face of guerrillas equipped with anti-tank weapons. The Aquino authorities should The first thing to solve is the source of weapons for the anti-government forces, and only by strengthening border control can the further deterioration of the situation be curbed from external factors.”

"The spokesperson of the US Foreign Ministry stated that the US is closely following the attack and expressed its willingness to assist the Philippine side in investigating the source of the anti-government army's equipment. When the reporter asked whether the US would send ground troops to assist the Philippine troops to suppress the MLO At that time, the US stated that it would not consider sending ground troops to intervene in the internal affairs of the region, but it did not rule out the use of drones to support the Philippine military operations."

"From 7 o'clock today. The my country Tourism Administration has urgently issued a red warning for travel to the Philippines. It is recommended that passengers with travel plans change their travel plans, or try to avoid getting close to hot spots of guerrilla activities."

"Our reporter, Yang Yong reports."

On the TV, there was a picture of government troops shooting with their backs against bunkers. Although no shadow of the attacking party was photographed, one could get a glimpse of the brutality of the battle just from the flying tracer bullets, the dust from the bullets, and the vague screams.

Flames and thick smoke from explosions could be heard from time to time in the distance. It was almost impossible to use mortars as a killer in urban areas without accidentally injuring houses.

Government forces must take into account the consequences of accidentally injuring civilians. But the anti-government forces have no scruples when fighting.

Several stretchers passed through the street and ran to the temporary medical point next to the armored vehicle. The windows of the store were shattered, and looters poured into the store, grabbing things on the ground and running

Many people will die.

But Jiang Chen will not repent.

Not because he is cold-blooded, but because the Philippines deserves its own fault. From the fact that they chose a rogue government to come to power, to their rogue government instigating the people to commit rogue acts, and then to the attack on Koro Island.

All this is just the price!

Leaning on the sofa, Jiang Chen reached out and pressed the remote control.

It seems that Santos made the right choice, which saved Jiang Chen a lot of trouble. The guerrillas of the Morocco Organization have been fighting the Philippine government forces for 44 years. It was the first time to receive such a large-scale military material aid, and this time it can be regarded as an elation.

Of course, Jiang Chen didn't have a good impression of the MMO or the Philippines. He just needs to use this pawn to split this annoying neighbor, and after the Moro country is completely independent, he will take Mindanao's rich iron, copper, and gold mineral resources into his pocket.

Taking out the mobile phone he bought casually from a street stall, Jiang Chen edited a text message and sent the password to Santos.

Now that he has fulfilled his promise, he will not be stingy with his reward. I believe that with this second batch of equipment, the combat effectiveness of the MLO organization will be raised to a higher level.

Just as Jiang Chen expected, he only needed to throw the lighter into the monkey's hand. They themselves would be excited to set the zoo on fire.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's satellite phone on the table suddenly rang.

Without even thinking about it, he knew it must be Roberts calling. This satellite phone is the special line for him and Roberts to contact special business, and it is absolutely safe in theory.

After answering the phone. That old friend's voice really came over.

"My old f***ing friend invited me to drink tea today."

"What did he talk to you about?" Jiang Chen asked casually.

"Just chatting casually, for example, asking me what I did when I went to South Africa a few days ago and who I met." Roberts smiled wryly.

"Oh? Then what did you tell him?" Jiang Chen laughed.

"What else can I say, go to South Africa to deal with the business buddy of the gold mining shell company, no kidding, you played a bit big this time." Said the back. Roberts took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "Terrorism has always been the bottom line of the White House, especially in the territory of their allies. Although the White House did not let go of sending ground troops to support the Philippines, agents have already entered."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen sneered dismissively.

So-called terrorism has always been a double standard. The anti-government forces in the territory of the US allies are terrorists and separatists, while the anti-government forces in the territory of the US enemies are people fighters and freedom defenders.

As for the agents? Santos himself didn't even know who he was dealing with. What's more, I have already pointed out that his whereabouts have been leaked. As long as he is not stupid, he will carefully hide himself. This may not be able to catch him.

Noticing the dismissiveness from Jiang Chen's sneer, Roberts sighed helplessly.

"Well, I didn't call you to tell you to stop or anything. I just wanted to remind you to be careful. It wasn't just me who was called to talk. Several arms dealers who hadn't retired were also invited by f-forced people. We talked about it. From South Africa to the guerrillas in Southeast Asia, the air transportation needs to pass through the airspace of many countries, and it is impossible to leave no trace. If it is by land and sea, it is impossible to arrive in just 3 days. So my suspicion It’s not very big. Although I don’t know how you transported the military guns to the Philippines, my intuition tells me that this matter must have something to do with you.”

"But I won't admit it." Jiang Chen laughed.

"Never admit it," Roberts said seriously. "Don't let the White House know you did it, or we'll all be screwed. Damn. If I had known you were playing with that shipment, I might as well have sold it to that West African dictator It’s all right now, tens of thousands more people died indirectly at my hands.”

At the end, Roberts' tone was a bit dumbfounding.

"Don't worry, I'm doing this very secretly. Aren't you planning to make an autobiography called 'The Merchant of Death'? Now I'm adding another touch to your memoir." Jiang Chen comforted in a relaxed tone.

After hanging up the phone. Jiang Chen stretched, put the satellite phone aside, got up and walked towards the door.

It is almost the end of July now, and he will have to go to Doomsday to see it at the beginning of August at the latest. He hadn't been back for so long, and it was strange that he missed Sun Jiao and the others.

But before going back, he still has some things to order.

Driving a private speedboat to Crescent Island, Jiang Chen found Ivan who was training new recruits, briefly inspected the combat effectiveness of the boys in the Star Ring Trade, and then explained to him the matter of recruiting 300 sailors as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Jiang Chen gave Ivan the mobile phone used to contact Santos. Tell him to remember to watch the news every morning. Then, according to the completion of Santos' mission, send him the password to unlock the map.

After a while, we will go back to the end of the world, and it is safer to leave the "monkey playing" thing to someone who can rest assured.

After dealing with these, Jiang Chen went to Koro Island again, and transported the steel and aluminum produced in July to the end of the world. The efficiency of directly transporting ore is still too low, but it is much more efficient to process it into steel and transport it there.

With this batch of steel, there is no need to worry about the resource supply of the factory in the last days. It can be re-smelted into c-shaped steel or other materials, and the surplus can be sold to the factory in the sixth block.

After finishing these things, Jiang Chen stopped by the headquarters of Future Life. Understand the sales situation of nutritional supplements.

In general, this month's financial report is very impressive.

The sales profit of the month was as high as 100 million US dollars!

The 200,000 boxes produced by the nutritional compound production plant have been delivered in two batches, and the remaining 200,000 boxes will be completed next month. With the help of the promotion of Future Man 1.0 and the promotion of large retailers such as Wal-Mart, the nutritional supplements have easily caught people's attention.

Pure natural green defatted liquid food. Eat for 30 days and lose 30 pounds. In addition to the promotional advertisement shot by Emma, ​​in short, according to the feedback from several retailers, the sales of this nutritional mixture are gratifying, and many retailers have placed additional orders. The large retailer Wal-Mart even proposed to Tao Ming, wanting to pay a high price for the exclusive agency rights of this nutritional mixture. However, he was declined by Tao Ming.

The reason is simple, you can't give up the whole forest for one tree. Selling the exclusive agency rights means giving up the development of online sales channels and other retailers, which is tantamount to losing the watermelon and picking up sesame seeds.

After reporting the sales situation to Jiang Chen, Tao Ming urged Jiang Chen to expand the production line as soon as possible. Orders flocking to Future Human Bio came like snowflakes, and the nutrient mixture production plant almost squeezed the workers' production capacity to the limit, but it still couldn't keep up with the growth rate of orders.

According to Zhan Shujie's estimation, the current production demand can only be met by doubling the existing production equipment and seaweed planting area.

Of course, Jiang Chen nodded in agreement. A few organic synthesis furnaces were not difficult for him.

After transporting the production equipment and 10 tons of new induction reagents to the warehouse on Koro Island, Jiang Chen boarded a speedboat and headed towards Koro Island. The rest, such as recruiting people and arranging production, he naturally Leave it to Zhan Shujie to solve it.

But on his way home, Xia Shiyu called.

When he heard her voice, Jiang Chen's face was filled with joy.
