Chapter 1339: Nippon’s Compromise

Nippon’s Prime Minister finally agreed to Jiang Chen’s request.

Thirty military bases were transferred to Celestial Trade with a symbolic rent of one Xin New dollar. At the same time, Nippon agreed to pay two billion in military expenses for a total of 30,000 Celestial Trade mercenaries each year. On the contrary, Mr. Prime Minster finally received the vote he dreamed about every night.

A happy ending.

Everyone got what they wanted.

Although when he nodded, Mr. Prime Minster’s expression was quite reluctant, as if he had eaten a fly.

On the Colombian battlefield, the NATO Coalition Force were already in direct combat with Xin’s younger brothers, which made the situation almost identical to the war in 1950. Today’s Earth Defense Alliance was just like the original Warsaw Pact, and NATO was still the NATO, but the balance between the two sides quietly tilted.

If one day the UA and Xin started a war, the UA operated a total of 88 military bases in his country, and the headquarters was located in the capital Yoto, and the Seventh Fleet would inevitably depart from Nippon. If this lunatic decided to throw an EMP to Yoto, and then use the sun as the scapegoat again…

It was hard to say what would happen to the UA, but Yoto would indeed cease to exist.

Therefore, Mr. Prime Minister’s compromise was also a helpless move.

Even if the decision was not impacted by the Earth Defense Alliance, he must remove his country from the two big gangsters before the relationship between the UA and Xin deteriorated further.

Jiang Chen left the Prime Minister’s residence with pleasing results.

Negotiations went smoother than expected. Originally, he was prepared to put pressure on Nippon’s Prime Minister through external forces, but it was not necessary for the time being. Next, he just needed to ask Zhang Yaping to make a visit and implement the terms they had discussed

The next issue of discussion would be removing the UA troops stationed in Nippon.

However, just as Jiang Chen walked out of the Prime Minister’s residence, he suddenly received a call from Ayesha on his watch.

As soon as the call was connected, he heard Ayesha’s hasty tone.

“Hiroto Mitsui was assassinated!”

Jiang Chen took a second to process the information. Then he subconsciously looked around, and after confirming that there was no one nearby, he walked quickly towards his car and lowered his voice, “Hiroto Mitsui? Dead? Who did it?”

Ayesha simply recounted to Jiang Chen what happened just ten minutes ago. She started with Ghost Agents’ monitoring of Mitsui Hiroto and tracking him to the meeting with the CIB. However, no one thought that murder in broad daylight would happen.

“… Gill, who led the team on the mission, confirmed the identity of the assassin and confirmed that it was the CIB.”

In fact, there was no need to prove that at this time, only the CIB possessed the motive for the murder.

“No survivor?” Jiang Chen asked.

“I’m very sorry,” Ayesha lowered her head apologetically, and said in a quiet voice, “They set up a bomb in the car. When it was confirmed that there was no hope of escape, their unseen accomplice detonated the bomb remotely.”

“This is not your fault, don’t blame yourself too much.” When he heard Ayesha’s disappointment in her voice, he comforted her, “By the way, no one was hurt, right? I mean our people.”

“No.”

“That’s good. Arrange a meeting with Gill for me…wait, forget it,” Jiang Chen gestured to the driver while in the car. After he debated for a moment, he continued, “Ask her to see me at the embassy tomorrow. I will go to the embassy to meet Zhang Yaping at about ten o’clock. After meeting Zhang Yaping, I will personally ask her what happened.”

“Okay.” Ayesha nodded.

“Also, let me think…” Jiang Chen touched his chin and said after a moment, “We will send more people to protect Sumitomo Kenichi. His identity can still be used. If there is nothing else, that’s it. Your first task is to find the whereabouts of those servers. I’m now very worried that it has been shipped out of Nippon by the CIB through special means, although this is unlikely…”

Suddenly, Jiang Chen considered a possibility.

What if the CIB put the server in the UA military base in Nippon…

“Where is the UA Seventh Fleet now?” Jiang Chen asked abruptly.

Ayesha thought for a moment and quickly gave a response.

“The fleet arrived at the military base in Yokosuka two days ago, and now it is probably resupplying at the port.”

Yokosuka?

Jiang Chen opened the holographic map of the watch, then zoomed the map out to Nippon. He finally stopped at the Yokosuka Prefecture.

“Is it next to Yoto?”

Jiang Chen rubbed his chin as he said thoughtfully.

In fact, as long as they could identify the location of these servers, once these servers were shipped, Celestial Trade would have full control of the outcome. No one could escape the eyes of Skyeye X1. It was not difficult for Aurora-20s to sink a cargo ship.

If an ordinary cargo was destroyed, as long as Celestial Trade did not claim responsibility, the UA would also not blame the attack on Celestial Trade. Unless they admitted to the content transported on the ship. But it was obviously impossible because they were servers holding T-virus information.

Based on this thought process, the UA must certainly have recognized the situation.

He was most worried about these servers being already shipped to the Yokosuka military base because the UA may deploy the Seventh Fleet to escort those servers that may restore T-virus data.

Should he gamble?

If he really found these servers in the UA military base in Nippon…

There was a dubious smile on Jiang Chen’s face

There was no way for the UA to escape this bucket of dirty water.

…

The headline of the day was already reserved for Mr. Mitsui Hiroto.

Three people in a car were killed, and three cars fled frantically after the assassination. They staged a Fast and Furious scene in downtown Yoto with Ghost Agents who assisted the Yoto Police. The assassins eventually suicided and the event shocked the entire country.

Almost everyone was speculating whether this incident was a targeted vendetta or a terrorist attack.

This happened just a week before the Olympic flame that symbolized “unity and peace” was ignited, which undoubtedly cast a shadow over the Olympics.

In front of the media, Mitsui Hiroto’s wife was in a state of trauma. His eldest son roared angrily in front of the media and he swore that he would use all the power of the Mitsui Consortium to trace the identity of the murderer and the person behind the assassination…

The only suspicious point now was the call that Mitsui Hiroto made before he left home. Public opinion generally agreed that the call may become the key to solving the case.

But would it be so simple?

The Yoto Police held a press conference to explain the case in detail, and at the same time urged the mass to remain calm

“Yoto Police will investigate this bloody incident that took place on the streets of Ginza, find the suspects responsible, and provide an explanation…” The Police Superintendent was sweating profusely as he answered the countless questions directly at him while he smiled bitterly in his mind.

The case could have been solved long ago; and of course, he knew who was behind the assassination.

But could he solve this case?

The Ghost Agents were on one side while the CIB was on the other. As a “small” superintendent, there was no way for him to get into their mess.

He could only sweep this under the rug!

If he was a little careless, as the superintendent, he may have to step down to take the blame.
