Chapter 825: The Beginning of the War

That afternoon, Shatov returned to Russia on a special plane of the Russian military. When leaving, Jiang Chen specially gave him the "Sword Breaker 1" in the warehouse, asking him to take it back as a sample for the Kremlin to see.

As for whether the Russians will restore the technology of "Sword Breaker 1" through reverse engineering, Jiang Chen is not worried about this issue.

The technological gap is there. Even if the Russians are given ten years to study this "Sword Breaker 1", they may not be able to imitate their own weapons with so many limited samples.

What's more, the coverage area of ​​Sword Breaker 1 is only 100,000 square kilometers, which is only equivalent to a quarter of the state of California. As far as strategic-level weapons are concerned, it is not considered a top-notch weapon in Jiang Chen's hands, it can only be regarded as the first generation of strategic-level weapons.

At least those Dolphin 10 intercontinental missiles deployed on the seabed are equipped with millions of square kilometers of combat components. That is the real killer, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the killer of modern civilization!

The Kremlin did not keep Jiang Chen waiting for long. Three days after the meeting in Mindanao, the Russian side took the initiative to contact Jiang Chen. At Natasha's invitation, Jiang Chen went to the Russian embassy

What surprised Jiang Chen even more was that it was Russian President Putin who contacted him!

There was no unnecessary nonsense. After the call was connected, Putin went directly to the topic and put forward his own request.

"Twenty combat parts of Sword Breaker 1. If you are unwilling to sell related technologies, I hope you at least open the window for arms sales."

"No problem. If you use up the 20 Sword Breakers 1, I can sell you another 20 combat parts at a lower price. But I have one request, that is, to send our commissioner to you. We will at least You have to confirm that the gifts we gave you were used on the battlefield or in exercises, not reimbursed in the laboratory." Jiang Chen said.

"What is the lower price?" Putin asked.

"3.4 billion rubles."

Hearing Jiang Chen's quotation, Pujin had a surprised expression on his face.

It's not because of the price, 3.4 billion rubles is equivalent to 5 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the killing effect it caused, this price is still fair. What really surprised Putin was that Jiang Chen proposed to use rubles as the settlement currency.

If he remembered correctly, the several arms sales contracts negotiated with Xin Guo before were all in US dollars.

"No dollars?" Putin asked bluntly.

"Intuition tells me that rubles will be very valuable in the near future." Jiang Chen laughed.

It may fall in the short term, but in the long run, it will at least be worth more than it is now. However, the reason why Jiang Chen did this is not entirely because the ruble is expected to appreciate, there is another more important reason in it.

On the other end of the phone, Putin laughed twice.

"Haha, in the words of the Chinese people, I would like to borrow your good words."

"It seems that our cooperation has been reached?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.

Although he failed to pull the consortium from the other side of the ocean into the chariot, he succeeded in pulling Lao Maozi over. The Freemasons based in Europe can no longer put pressure on the new country with an attitude of staying aloof. The threat from the East will directly approach their hinterland.

"I wish us a happy cooperation." Putin smiled.

"Happy cooperation!"

While the situation in Mindanao continued to heat up, the Ukrainian crisis once again caught the attention of people all over the world. With Russia's high-profile increase of 100,000 troops and the deployment of the Crimean Peninsula and the Russian-Ukrainian border, Europe, which has experienced waves of unrest and rises again, has once again stood on the cusp of the stormy waves.

This time the Russians not only showed their muscles toughly, but also showed the momentum that they must win. Speaking to reporters, Putin reiterated Russia's support for the right of Russians to choose their own destiny and for the first time recognized the legitimacy of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics.

Such a move is undoubtedly a great encouragement to the civilian armed forces who are still fighting in Donetsk and other areas. Since the implementation of the ceasefire agreement, they have never achieved a real ceasefire with the Ukrainian government forces.

The Western world was in an uproar.

No one expected that Russia would suddenly act so irrationally.

The European Commission held an emergency meeting in this regard. At the same time, France, Germany, Poland and other 11 countries issued statements one after another on the next day. If the Russian army dared to cross the Russian-Ukrainian border, it would be regarded as a provocation to the UN Charter.

And the strongest response came from the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

The White House spokesman declared that if Russia crosses the border with Ukraine, NATO may also set a precedent for sending troops to a non-member friendly country. At the same time, President Hillary also revealed new sanctions against Russia in an interview with the media.

However, some analysts commented that whether the sanctions will be effective this time, whether NATO will break this precedent, and whether these checks will be cashed are open to question.

Due to the outbreak of civil war in Turkey, the Revolutionary Army controlled a large area of ​​​​territory in eastern Turkey, which cut off the "Southern Corridor" from Europe to Azerbaijan.

It has to be said that in the freemasonry's hasty plan to secularize Turkey, due to Russia's sudden attack on the Ukraine issue, this civil war has become a major failure. Since the southern corridor was cut off due to the war, the pressure on Europe's natural gas supply has increased sharply. In contrast, Europe's demand for natural gas imported from Russia has risen sharply.

If the EU joins the new sanctions against Russia advocated by the United States, the EU, which is "anemic" of natural gas, will instead become the biggest loser.

Even if the Freemasons deliberately push the EU to confront Russia on the Ukraine issue, in a practical sense, their industries in Europe also depend on natural gas imported from Russia.

Russia's sudden attack undoubtedly disrupted their strategic layout.

At the moment, in the presidential palace of Xinguo, Jiang Chen is discussing the Madagascar issue with Zhang Yaping.

Just yesterday, Zhang Yaping just finished his diplomatic visit to Madagascar and achieved good results.

"The Madagascar side agreed to cooperate with us in the field of economy and trade. If we are willing to assist them in rebuilding the Mayotte power grid and provide an aid loan of 1 billion U.S. dollars, they will agree to contract the mining area in northern Madagascar to us. Assets belonging to the Arrowhead Corporation, but confiscated as state assets after the nuclear bomb crisis."

"No problem, agree to his terms." Jiang Chen said.

At this moment, a phone call came over suddenly.

Jiang Chen turned on the holographic screen and glanced at the caller, it was Ivan calling. Out of politeness, he then looked at President Zhang.

"Mind if I answer the phone?"

"I don't mind." Zhang Yaping waved his hand.

Jiang Chen took the mobile phone, walked to the window of the president's office, and connected the call.

"Hello?"

"It's Filipinos! They're doing it!"

Although it was expected, when this moment came, Jiang Chen's heart still twitched violently.

The war finally broke out! To be continued.
