I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World (Web Novel)

Chapter 1076: Effective Recruitment

Before the Frankberg Tragedy, Carmen used a series of means to consolidate the power of the Rothschild family into his hands. After he used Celestial Trade to kill his brother in Pilsner Synagogue, he dictated the family.

For this very reason, his death meant the end of the Rothschild family.

Jiang Chen could foresee that once the revolution comes to an end, the New Choice Party would have to step down and the “crimes” committed by the Freemasonry would be punished. Rothschild and other families’ assets would be auctioned by banks to repay for the high penalties.

In the foreseeable future, even if Jiang Chen didn’t do anything, the Rothschild family would still enter a decline fueled by an internal feud over asset division.

They were filthy rich.

However, they were at the same time, too weak.

Jiang Chen was not worried about their decline. The only thing that worried him was the Golden Apples originally controlled by the Rothschild. If they were controlled by Carmen, it would be fine. But now Carmen died, these Golden Apples would surely flow out.

Not only Russia, but Jiang Chen knew that the UA, Britain, France, and even Hua would be interested. The countries would do anything to research the Golden Apple.

Harmony now controlled the communication channel of the Golden Apple. If the senior officials around the world fail to realize the danger, it would be difficult to predict where the next nest would be born.

On the plane returning to Moscow, Barth was still contemplating about the conversation with Jiang Chen in the underground bunker and what he saw in the nest…

“…you mean, this is the product of the extraterrestrial civilization you mentioned?” Barth still couldn’t believe what Jiang Chen had explained to him. His eyebrows furrowed together as he looked at Carmen in the resin coffin. “And the Golden Apple is just a brainwashing tool?”

“Yes,” Jiang Chen nodded.

“Hard to believe.”

“I know, this sounds like an April Fool’s joke, but that’s the truth. On June 15th, we will hold the Outer Space Security Summit in Coro, where we will announce what we have collected on extraterrestrial civilization. I am being open and honest with you. As to whether you believe it or not, the choice is yours.”

 Due to the excessive amount of information, Barth took a few moments to digest the information.

Extraterrestrial civilization?

Is this a joke!

Barth still couldn’t fathom the idea, even if Jiang Chen had subtly hinted it to him in Murmansk. The Golden Apple that the Russian Security Service finally got their hands on was actually a conspiracy of aliens to invade the Earth? He really thought that this kind of story only appeared in Hollywood, but now he enjoyed it firsthand.

However, when he recalled the serious expression on Jiang Chen’s face, he again began contemplating.

If the Golden Apple was really a brainwashing tool and unconsciously turned its holder into slaves of an extraterrestrial civilization, then this item certainly would be dangerous. After all, no one could tell who is being brainwashed, and those who are brainwashed wouldn’t identify themselves.

If the brainwashed person created a nest in Russia…

The idea alone gave him chills.

After thinking about the details, the Golden Apple already passed through multiple hands from the Rebels to the Russian Security Service.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Barth made up his mind.

At least wait until June 15 to see what evidence Celestial Trade would provide. Prior to this, temporarily lock those Golden Apples away and prevent anyone from approaching them again. If what Jiang Chen said was true, then it wouldn’t be too late to destroy them.

…

Through the lens of Finnish Radio and Television, the space-based weapons of Celestial Trade and the powerful power armors spread to every corner of the world. The people who were pessimistic about the mutants because of the defeat of the British army also rekindled hope because of the victory of two hundred against ten thousand.

The ugly mutants, like demons, fell one after another in front of the steel armor. Their dark green blood gushed out under the orange-yellow trajectories. The close-range combat made everyone’s blood boil with passion.

“That thing is so cool, is that two hundred Gundams? Or two hundred Ironmen? I just want to ask if I have the opportunity to wear that when I join Celestial Trade? If so, I will go to their official website and register for the foreigners corps.”

“@Robert Downey Jr, what do you think?”

“The model with the laser knife on the right arm is my favorite! One slice and the mutants are turned into halves. Unfortunately, the image was too blurry. If it was high quality, that would be superb.”

In addition to those messages on social media platforms, in some military forums, a discussion of the practicality of such weapons also formed. The military fans were divided into two factions. One group thought that power armor might change modern warfare. Another group thought that there was no need to make such a big fuss.

“The individual armor reminds me of bulletproof armor in the World War I era, but with a machine gun on the arm? I don’t think there is anything fuss about. It is just a layer of steel outside the mechanical exoskeleton. It is better to manufacture more tanks or armored vehicles than to develop something that wraps a person in steel.”

“Your thinking is too simple. How did the British military’s armored vehicles do? Actual war is the only criterion for truth! The infantry with protection, mobility, support, and even anti-armor ability is the Rambo on the battlefield! And it is capable to be mass-produced! As for the comparison of welding steel plates around the body, I think you are talking about Krupp’s ‘Lightning’ series? These two weapons are not comparable at all!”

Of course, not all public opinion developed favorably of Celestial Trade. The threat of the second “Biohazard” was gone, and people began to ponder about another issue.

If Celestial Trade could deploy a force comparable to a division’s power anywhere in the world within a few hours, what would be the significance of the border?

Under the provocation of people with other intentions, many pacifists spontaneously held protests and rallies in major cities such as New York and Los Angeles to protest against the use of outer space for military purposes.

However, these protests did not form anything material. Even though the mainstream media that represent the interests of the elites were mostly consistent with the views of these protesters, the public opinion on the Internet was obviously biased towards Celestial Trade.

Since Jiang Chen was busy discussing “remuneration” with the Finnish government, Jiang Chen didn’t pay attention to the public opinion on the Internet. It was not until he was at the Moscow airport did he discover Celestial Trade’s Power Armored Brigade had become popular.

Jiang Chen didn’t predict this would happen.

Although he expected the power armor to cause widespread concern from governments, he did not expect to cause such a degree of publicity among the global community.

He didn’t expect it to create such a strong impact. However, he was certain that Finnish Radio and Television provided Celestrial Trade with a free recruitment advertisement and the results were superb…
