Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

"Haha, don't be so surprised." The young man took off his sunglasses, "I have important information to tell you~"

"Who are you? Do you have any information to tell us?" Zhao Shou asked vigilantly.

The young man smiled and said, "My name is Wang Hai, and I'm a police officer at Qingcheng Police Station. I recently received some clues that may be related to what you are investigating."

Jiang Chuan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What clue? Tell me about it."

Wang Hai pretended to be mysterious and said, "This clue is related to the mastermind behind the whole incident. However, this doesn't seem to be the place to talk, right?"

General Long Qiang waved his hand and said, "Let's go to my office and talk."

So, the group came to Long Qiang's office. After Wang Haiguan arrived, he took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Chuan: "Take a look at this."

There was a blurry figure in the photo, but it could be seen that he was talking to someone.

Although the photo was blurry, Jiang Chuan still recognized the figure - it was one of the attackers he saw in the surveillance video!

General Long Qiang patted Wang Hai on the shoulder and said, "Good boy! You have helped us a lot this time! If this information is true, then we can follow the clues to find the mastermind behind it!"

Zhao Shou also said excitedly: "Yes! God is really helping me this time! We must make good use of this information!"

Jiang Chuan remained calm: "Don't be too happy yet. Although we have this clue, we still need more evidence and efforts to truly uncover the true face of the mastermind behind this."

"That's right!" Wang Hai agreed, "So what should we do next?"

Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment and said, "First we need to confirm the accuracy of this intelligence. Then we can consider using diplomatic channels to put pressure on Rheinmetall to hand over Karl for investigation."

General Long Qiang nodded: "Good idea! But we must also be fully prepared in case they are desperate."

Zhao Shou added: "We can also contact other victimized countries to jointly expose this conspiracy!"

Amid everyone's discussion, an action plan against the mastermind gradually surfaced.

The tense atmosphere inside the Eagle Sauce Country’s military command center is almost suffocating.

Various complex strategic maps and real-time battle situations were displayed on the huge electronic screen. Rows of indicator lights kept flashing, making rapid and harsh sounds.

General Bueshell stood in front of the command desk with his hands behind his back and a frown on his face.

Standing next to him was five-star General MacArthur. This experienced veteran also looked particularly serious at this moment.

Negotiator Ramil paced back and forth anxiously, looking at his watch from time to time, as if waiting for some important moment.

"General, we are ready for a full-scale attack." A staff officer walked up to Bichler and reported in a low voice.

Bischel nodded slightly but said nothing. His eyes were fixed on the map of Kyushu on the screen, as if he was looking for the best breakthrough point.

MacArthur saw Bushell's hesitation. He walked up to Bushell and whispered, "General, it's time to make a decision. We have no way out."

Bushell took a deep breath and turned around slowly.

His face was filled with determination and resoluteness: "Pass the order, all troops attack! Target: Kyushu's southeastern coastal military base!"

Following Bischer's order, the entire command center became busy in an instant.

The staff officers quickly conveyed the order, and the soldiers quickly rushed to their respective combat positions. The huge warship slowly sailed out of the port, and the fighter planes circled in the air, waiting for the order to attack.

However, at this moment, an unexpected situation occurred.

"Report to the General!" A soldier hurried to the command desk, "We just intercepted a secret message from Kyushu!"

Bushell and MacArthur were both stunned. They hurriedly took the secret message and saw that it read:

"Friends from the United States, we are fully aware of your little moves. If you don't want your country to fall into an irreparable situation, please stop your aggressive behavior immediately. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

Bushell's face turned pale instantly. He stared at MacArthur with wide eyes: "What...what's going on? How did they know our plan?"

MacArthur also found it unbelievable: "This is impossible! Our plan is top secret! Could it be that someone leaked it?"

Negotiator Ramil also stopped at this time. He walked to Büchel and MacArthur, looked at the content of the secret message and sneered.

"It seems that we still underestimated Kyushu. But it doesn't matter, since they already know our plan, let's just go to war! Let them see how powerful our Eagle Sauce Country is!"

Bushell and MacArthur looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

They knew that there was no way out now. Only by defeating Kyushu could they restore the dignity and status of the Eagle Sauce Country.

"All troops, listen up!" Bischer shouted, "Immediately execute Plan B! Attack Kyushu with all your might!"

However, at this moment, a soldier rushed in again: "Report to the general! There is a man outside who claims to be an envoy from Kyushu and wants to negotiate with us!"

"Negotiation?" Bushell was stunned. "Negotiation at this time? Is it a delaying tactic?"

MacArthur shook his head: "Not necessarily. We might as well listen to what they want to say, and then we can make a decision."

So the three of them walked out of the command center and came to the reception room outside.

I saw a middle-aged man in a suit sitting on the sofa, sipping tea leisurely, as if he was not affected by the impending war at all.

"Hello." The middle-aged man stood up, smiled and extended his hand.

"I am the envoy of Kyushu. My name is Zhao Shou. We hope to have peaceful negotiations with you to avoid unnecessary war."

General Bushell looked at Zhao Shou in confusion: "You already know our plan, why are you still coming to negotiate?"

Zhao Shou smiled and said, "We do know your plan, but we don't want to solve the problem through war. War will only bring endless pain and loss, and it will not benefit anyone."

General MacArthur snorted coldly: "Are you afraid now? What were you doing before? We, the Eagle Sauce Country, are not so easy to bully!"

Zhao Shou still kept smiling: "We are not afraid of you. On the contrary, we value peace and stability very much. We hope to find a solution acceptable to both sides through negotiations." Negotiator Ramil also walked over to Zhao Shou and sat down: "So how do you plan to solve this problem?"

Zhao Shou took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Ramil: "This is the peace plan we proposed. If you can accept it and stop the aggression, we will be willing to establish a long-term friendly cooperative relationship with you."

Ramil took the document and looked at it in confusion, then handed it to Bushell and MacArthur.

After reading it, both of them showed surprised expressions. Because they found that the plan proposed by Kyushu was so reasonable and profitable! This was simply a huge temptation!

General Bushell took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Shou: "Are you really willing to establish a long-term friendly cooperative relationship with us?"

Zhao Shou nodded: "Of course. We believe that only through peace and cooperation can we achieve common development and prosperity."

General MacArthur was silent at this time. He knew that if he missed this opportunity, the United States would face greater losses and risks.

Moreover, from the proposal put forward by Kyushu Kingdom, it can be seen that they are indeed very sincere and far-sighted.

Zhao Shou left the Eagle Country military command center with a smile, leaving behind a group of stunned Eagle Country officers.

They just couldn't understand why the Kyushu Congress proposed such a reasonable peace plan at this time.

The atmosphere in the emergency meeting room of the military factory was extremely tense. Jiang Chuan, Wang Mingyuan and John sat around a long conference table, and everyone's face was full of seriousness.

"Boss, the situation is not good." Wang Mingyuan was the first to break the silence. He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued, "According to our intelligence, the Eagle Sauce Country is already preparing for war."

Jiang Chuan nodded, frowning: "I understand the situation. This time, we have to not only protect our homeland, but also let those hawks know the consequences of angering us."

John slammed the table and said angrily, "That's right, I've been fed up with them for a long time! This time I must teach them a lesson!"

Wang Mingyuan smiled bitterly: "John, don't be so impulsive. War is not a joke. We need a careful plan."

"Plan? I have a plan!" John's eyes widened, "My plan is to use our weapons to hit them hard in the face!"

Jiang Chuan waved his hand, signaling John to calm down: "Okay, what we need now is not emotions, but a calm mind. Wang Mingyuan, tell me about our current weapons reserves."

Wang Mingyuan immediately turned on the computer and displayed a series of data.

"Our Xuanlong fighter jets, W99 combat drones and D33 missiles have all entered combat readiness. However, these may not be enough to deal with a possible full-scale war."

Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment, then said: "Then we need to develop new defensive weapons. This task is left to you, Wang Mingyuan."

Wang Mingyuan was stunned: "Me? Boss, this is a big task."

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "Why? You don't have confidence? You are the technical backbone of our team. I believe you can do it."

John also patted Wang Mingyuan on the shoulder: "Yes, Mingyuan, the boss values ​​you so much, you can't let us down."

Wang Mingyuan took a deep breath, then nodded solemnly: "Okay, I accept this task. But I need time."

Jiang Chuan stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sky outside: "We will try our best to buy you time. But you have to be quick. The dark cloud of this war is getting closer and closer."

In the following days, Wang Mingyuan led the team to work day and night to develop new defensive weapons, while Jiang Chuan and John were busy with the dispatch and combat readiness of the military factory.

During this period, there were also some relaxing moments. For example, John often told some jokes during breaks to relieve everyone's stress.

Although everyone said it was "very cold", the atmosphere was indeed a lot more relaxed.

The atmosphere in the military factory's R&D laboratory was tense and solemn.

Jiang Chuan stood in the center of the laboratory with a determined look. He knew that every moment that followed was crucial.

"Everyone," Jiang Chuan began to speak, his voice echoing in the laboratory, "We are now facing an unprecedented challenge. The threat from the United States is imminent, and we must develop new defensive weapons as soon as possible to deal with it."

The members of the R&D team listened attentively, their eyes full of trust in Jiang Chuan and anticipation for the upcoming challenges.

"Guo Da Statham, you are responsible for the overall design of the weapon system."

Jiang Chuan continued to assign tasks. "Others, follow the previous groups and each be responsible for your own module. We need to come up with a feasible plan in the shortest possible time."

As soon as the words fell, the R&D team plunged into intensive work.

Everyone is racing against time because they know that this race against time concerns the safety of the entire Kyushu Kingdom.

However, the research and development process was not smooth sailing. Various technical problems emerged one after another, giving the team members a headache. But Jiang Chuan always remained calm and optimistic.

"What's wrong? Have you encountered another problem?" Jiang Chuan walked up to a team member and asked, looking at the complicated drawings in front of him.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang. We have not been able to find a suitable solution for the design of this component." said a team member somewhat frustrated.

Jiang Chuan patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "It's okay, we'll find a solution together. Remember, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome."

With Jiang Chuan's encouragement, the team members regained their spirits and began to brainstorm and discuss solutions together.

After several days and nights of unremitting efforts, they finally overcame this technical difficulty.

But just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, another new problem was put before them - how to ensure that the new defensive weapons can work stably and effectively in actual combat?

In order to solve this problem, Jiang Chuan decided to conduct a simulated combat test.

He personally led the team to the test site and conducted a full range of tests on the new defensive weapons.

During the test, the weapon system showed amazing performance and stability. Jiang Chuan looked at the test data in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

"It seems that our efforts have not been in vain." Jiang Chuan said to the team members, "This test proves that our new defensive weapons are effective and can protect our homeland!"

The team members cheered, knowing that they had made an important contribution to the security of Kyushu.

Jiang Chuan also knows that the success of this scientific research is inseparable from the efforts and contributions of everyone. (End of this chapter)
