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

"It seems that I can only go to the second-in-command to receive punishment." Wu Guanglie's words were full of helplessness and self-blame.

"How about this, I'll go with you. At least as a member of the team, my presence may relieve some of your pressure." Jiang Chuan suggested.

At this moment, the voice of the number two figure suddenly sounded, and he had come to the crowd without anyone noticing.

"General Wu, I do want to criticize you. Our current technology cannot meet your expectations, so we should be prepared for passive defense instead of blaming the technology team here. This is undoubtedly a huge pressure for them." The second-in-command's words revealed his concern and understanding for the technology team, while also criticizing Wu Guanglie.

Then, the number two figure turned his attention to Jiang Chuan.

"Mr. Xu, first of all, I would like to thank you for your close cooperation with us all the time. Please form your team as soon as possible. If you need anything, just let us know. We will fully support you." The words of the second-in-command were full of trust and expectations for Jiang Chuan.

"Yes!" Jiang Chuan responded firmly. He knew that after this battle, many resources would be reintegrated, and what he needed to do was to make everyone believe in themselves and believe that their team could take on this important task.

However, things are not as simple as imagined. The challenges they face are still severe and the problems they need to solve are endless.

"That's it for now." Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were still filled with anxiety and confusion. They didn't know how the future would develop, nor did they know how to deal with possible crises.

"We can only give it a try." Jiang Chuan's words revealed a kind of helplessness and determination. He knew that no matter what the future held, they had to face the challenges bravely and work hard to find solutions to the problems.

When Jiang Chuan returned to the company, he found that the board members were already waiting impatiently for him to bring back good news. Moreover, during his absence, the company had actually established a new experimental center.

"You guys are really fast!" Jiang Chuan exclaimed. He knew very well that the reason why they were able to set up the experimental center so quickly this time was because the last crisis made them realize that danger was around them, and only positive action could ensure the company's future.

After experiencing the last crisis, these board members finally realized the importance of safety. They began to understand that both the Great Shang Kingdom and the entire earth are facing unprecedented challenges. Only by uniting and working together can they ensure the safety of their industries and families.

"Mr. Xu, you have always been the one who plans ahead and has a long-term vision. But we often make things difficult for you because of our short-sightedness. This time we were wrong. We are willing to start a new business and work together like you." A board member said sincerely.

Jiang Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He knew that as long as everyone could unite as one and work together, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt dizzy and then lost consciousness.

"Boss Xu!" Everyone exclaimed. They quickly called the emergency number and sent Jiang Chuan to the hospital.

When Jiang Chuan woke up, he found himself lying on a hospital bed. He looked around, trying to figure out why he was here.

"Why am I in the hospital?" he asked confused.

"What are you talking about? You scared all of us. I'm your woman, but I didn't even notice that you were sick in time. This is my fault." Xu Jiajia said in tears. She stayed by Jiang Chuan's side, her eyes full of worry and self-blame.

Jiang Chuan probably understood what was going on. He smiled and comforted Xu Jiajia: "This matter has nothing to do with you. I am just too tired. Since the start of the aerospace aircraft carrier project until the end of this war, I have been busy and have not had a good rest for a day. Just treat this as a vacation for yourself."

Indeed, Jiang Chuan had a very hard time during this period. Since coming to China, he not only had to fight against Atlantis, but also had to deal with various international events. Although he was not the head of government, as a leader of a company, he had no less responsibility and pressure. He worked almost every day and only had a few hours of rest at night.

"Take a good vacation this time. I don't believe that if you don't take care of the company's affairs, Dashang Kingdom will not function?" Xu Jiajia persuaded. She hoped that Jiang Chuan could take this opportunity to have a good rest for a while and recuperate.

At this time, the No. 2 figure came to the hospital with a group of people. They originally wanted to go in to visit Jiang Chuan, but the doctor told them that it was better not to let too many people in now.

"How about this, I'll go in and see him alone, and you guys wait outside." The No. 2 said. He knew Jiang Chuan's importance and understood that he needed to give him enough quiet and rest space at this time.

The door of the ward was gently pushed open, and the No. 2 figure walked in. He saw Jiang Chuan lying on the bed, his face pale but his eyes still firm.

"Lie down! No need to get up." The No. 2 said softly. He sat beside the bed and looked at Jiang Chuan with concern, "You have worked hard during this period. Don't worry, I know what to do."

However, the news of Jiang Chuan's illness soon reached Atlantis. When Put heard the news, he almost jumped up with joy.

"Haha! This kid finally fell ill! I wonder how he can fight us this time! His own health is so bad! Shouldn't we take this opportunity to make some achievements and give him a little stimulation?" Put said proudly. He seemed to see the scene of himself defeating Jiangchuan and conquering the Great Shang Kingdom.

However, the others in the Little White Building were not so optimistic. After hearing Put's words, they all showed helpless expressions.

"Leader, I don't think it's necessary to do this. People are sick, and they became like this because they were fighting the war with all their strength. It's really not fair for us to add insult to injury." A staff member advised.

But Putt did not listen to their advice. He had his own plans.

"Actually, I called everyone here today because I have something to tell you. You didn't see this battle, but our aerospace carrier became a temporary field hospital. This war was basically carried out with the equipment provided by the Great Shang Kingdom. Even our soldiers went to their country to fight." Put's words revealed his dependence on and helplessness on the Great Shang Kingdom.

After hearing these words, everyone in the Little White Building fell into deep thought. They realized that the gap between their country and the Great Shang Kingdom was gradually widening. If they did not take action, they might really be left behind.

"Logically, this matter should be carried out by our country Atlantis. I don't care what our current situation is, but at least we can't lose to them." Put's words were full of unwillingness and determination.

Victoria understood Putt's intention, and she volunteered: "So what Mr. Leader means is that we must now actively respond to the call of the Great Shang Kingdom, work hand in hand with them, and ultimately participate in international cooperation, right?" "That's right! After all, we are also one of the human beings living on Earth. No matter what race we are, at least we cannot directly choose to cause the extinction of the entire world." Putt's words revealed his care and responsibility for mankind.

Apparently, Put was ready to cooperate with the Great Shang Kingdom. He believed that only by uniting as one and working together could they cope with the crises and challenges that might arise in the future. Cordos, on the other hand, watched coldly from the sidelines. He seemed not optimistic about this cooperation, but he did not raise any objections.

Let us think about it from another perspective. If we are the one who takes action, and then the Great Shang Kingdom seeks our assistance in return, will we really open the door to our core areas?

As soon as this question came out, everyone fell into deep thought. Indeed, if you don't want others to treat you the way you want them to treat you, then don't treat others the way you want them to treat you. Considering their past actions towards the Great Shang Kingdom and their current attitude of non-support, if they defected to them at this time, the consequences would obviously not be optimistic.

"Then what should I do? If we conduct research alone, with our current technological strength, we will never be able to reach the top level. After all, the top scientists have been recruited by them." Victoria seemed quite frustrated. As one of the few top scientists left in Atlantis, she felt under great pressure.

"Thinking back to the war, we were able to develop the atomic bomb thanks to the gathering of elite forces from around the world." Putt pondered for a moment, then finally nodded, "Victoria, the task of negotiating with the Great Shang Kingdom will be left to you." "Yes!"

However, this time Victoria's negotiating partner was no longer the familiar Aeroflot.

After they arrived in the capital, they first visited Wu Guanglie. "Oh, I know a little bit about this matter. But I want to tell you that it is far from as simple as you think. If you really want to negotiate, go directly to Jiangchuan this time."

Jiang Chuan? Victoria was shocked when she heard this. "How could this happen? Aren't our previous efforts enough to show our sincerity?"

"You and Su Hang had such a bad fight last time, do you want to have another fight? He has made it clear that he doesn't want to see you again. To be honest, I didn't expect your country to send you here." Wu Guanglie had a calm face and a clear attitude: It's up to you whether to talk or not.

On Jiangchuan's side, he had already begun preparing for industrial upgrades, knowing that the enemy would surely come back. Unfortunately, he fell ill and had been recuperating in the hospital, which was an important reason why he was able to participate in the negotiations.

"Oh, my body is really useless. I don't know what to do, but I always feel that I should get better soon." He is still weak and the doctor has made it clear that he cannot be discharged from the hospital immediately. Even if he wants to work, it can only be extremely easy tasks.

This made Wu Guanglie feel embarrassed. "How about this, if it really doesn't work, let Chen Guodong talk to you. I heard that Jiang Chuan got sick due to overwork."

Victoria was shocked when she heard this. Jiang Chuan was a genius, how could he fall ill so easily? But she also understood that things were not as simple as they seemed.

"Then can I visit him on behalf of Atlantis?" she asked tentatively.

"of course can."

So Victoria led the delegation to the hospital where Jiang Chuan was. However, the doctor had clearly stipulated that only one person could accompany him in the ward, and no more than two people.

"Then I'll go in." Others could only wait outside the ward.

There was no one else in the ward except Xu Jiajia.

"Who are you?" Jiang Chuan saw Victoria with a puzzled look on his face.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Victoria, from Atlantis. I originally wanted to come here to discuss cooperation matters, but when I heard that you were sick, I came to see you on behalf of the leader."

"Leader?" Jiang Chuan was a little amused. "It's incredible that my illness could alarm the leader of your country. I have never heard of such a good thing."

He knew that this was not a compliment, but the other party was just curious. If he continued like this, it would undoubtedly become a strange move.

"Just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush. We are all adults. If you have anything to say, just be frank." Jiang Chuan said bluntly.

"Since you said that, I'll be frank. I'm not sure whether I can be discharged from the hospital due to my current condition, but I know our requirements may not be consistent. Maybe you will be disappointed to see me today because I don't have time to negotiate with you now." Victoria seemed sincere, but in fact she was a little off the topic.

The real negotiator was actually Chen Guodong. But she was only thinking about expanding her network in China, as if she thought that this would solve the problem.

"Ms. Victoria, I'm the hostess here. I think the visiting hours are about over. If you're here specifically to visit my husband, thank you very much. But if you're here to discuss national affairs, I'm sorry, we don't talk about official business here." Xu Jiajia said politely but firmly.

Victoria had no choice but to give him the fruit basket. "Then if there is nothing else, I will leave first. I wish you a speedy recovery."

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly and thought to himself, "I knew this person had bad intentions. As expected, she wanted me to participate in the negotiations. I heard that she had previously negotiated with Su Hang, but the negotiations failed for various reasons and the two of them even had a conflict. Later, she returned home in anger, but she didn't expect that her leader didn't treat her well. Now that Bais has problems again, she wants to seize this opportunity."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He could roughly guess what would happen next. At this critical moment, Bais fell. And he himself couldn't continue to lie in the hospital.

"Ask the doctor how long I will need to live here?" he asked Xu Jiajia.

"Just rest and recuperate, and don't think about anything else. Don't forget, the company can still operate without you. (End of this chapter)
