Chapter 835 - Kerry’s Visit



Chapter 835: Kerry’s Visit

Translator: _Min_  Editor: Rundi

The Freemasonry had not moved for the time being. The UA was the first to react.

Although Jiang Chen suspected that the UA would contact him, he did not expect the UA Secretary of State – John Kerry to pay a personal visit.

The UA Secretary of State, nominated by the former president, as Hill’s successor, was described as sophisticated in diplomacy. He was praised by the UA media as “a rare diplomacy star in the history of the UA”. Due to his high evaluation during his term of office, he received a nomination from the new president after the previous president’s term ended.

The Secretary of State personally paying a visit could only mean one thing.

The EMP did indeed scare the UA.

“Haha, welcome, Mr. Kerry. What brought you here?”

“The friendliness across the Pacific Ocean. It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen.”

At City M International Airport, Jiang Chen stood at the runway of the airport. He smiled and extended his hand to Mr. Kerry who had stepped off the plane. The latter also enthusiastically took his hand and expressed his gratitude for his greeting.

If people didn’t know the grudges between the two sides, in the eyes of others, the two were simply like friends who hadn’t seen each other for many years. Their actions didn’t look like they just met for the first time.

After exchanging greetings, accompanied by Sea Lion Special Forces, Jiang Chen took Kerry to the front of the fleet responsible for transportation.

Looking at the Lincoln’s Limousine sandwiched between armored vehicles, Kerry was dumbfounded, “If it wasn’t for the fact that I have come to City M before, I would have questioned if my captain was drunk and sent me to Baghdad by mistake.”

Although it was only a joke, it certainly carried a satire tone. Kerry’s message was nothing more than to express that Moro and Celestial Trade had become the destroyers of regional stability. A “stable” country was turned into Iraq in Southeast Asia.

However, when he said this, he apparently selectively forgot that the status quo in Baghdad was caused by the invasion of UA.

“Believe me, this is definitely better than Iraq.” Jiang Chen smiled.

“I hope so,” Kerry shrugged and said without refuting.

Sure enough, with armored vehicles to clear the way, no one came to cause trouble.

The security level was high not because of the protestors who threw stones and Molotov cocktails, it was mainly to prevent the Freemasonry from sending out assassins.

While the appearance of this Lincoln didn’t look extravagant, each of its glass had been replaced by higher density graphene and each inch of the vehicle had been replaced by Grade A steel. Even anti-tank rifles would not be able to hurt the passengers inside.

The two armored vehicles, both in the front and back, acted as minesweepers to prevent possible roadside bombs.

Jiang Chen’s safety was the responsibility of by both the Sea Lions Special Forces and the Ghost Agents. Even if the Israeli Mossad came, it would be a one-way trip for them!

Sitting in the vehicle, Kerry made no mention of the details of this diplomatic visit. Both men talked about basketball and then turned their conversation to golf. Neither talked about issues related to international politics. Seeing that he did not plan to bring forward the issue, Jiang Chen did not pursue the topic either.

Kerry was sent to the hotel where he stayed, and Jiang Chen returned to the Hilton hotel.

When returning to the presidential suite on the top floor, Ayesha had prepared a delicious dinner for him.

At the entrance, she took over the suit jacket in Jiang Chen’s hands. While hanging up the jacket, she reported to him on the information collected by the Ghost Agents.

“… Two days ago the UA Department of Defense held a secret meeting at the Capital. After the meeting, Minister Ashton immediately raised the Research and Development budget for anti-strategic EMP weapons and high-orbit interception systems. In addition, after the meeting, Hill went to Nouveau York to meet with the Secretary General of the United Nations. According to the analysis of the National Intelligence Bureau, the UA may restrict the use of EMP weapons through the establishment of a UN convention.”

Jiang Chen nodded and stopped for a moment at the entrance before he asked Ayesha.

“What about Europe? Is there news of Carmen?”

“Not yet.” Ayesha’s expression didn’t look too great when it came to this matter. “Carmen’s last public appearance was two months ago. In mid-June, he appeared at a product release event of Daimler Group. Then he evaporated from the world.”

“Is that so? It seems that from June this year, he has been guarding me.” Jiang Chen smiled and was not surprised.

Assassination was the lowest tactic, but it was also one of the most effective tactics. If the level 33 members of the Freemasonry were all eliminated, then the Freemasonry would be destroyed. However, these capital predators were no easier to assassinate than the President of the United States.

Presidents traveled with the media but for capitalists like Carmen, even if the media wanted to interview him, they wouldn’t be able to pinpoint their location.

The wealthier, the more afraid of death. Jiang Chen himself believed in his sentiment.

The Rothschild family’s investment in the safety of its members was no less than their investment in wineries.

In order to confirm the positions of the high level Freemasonry, and to even carry out assassinations, Ghost Agents would face at least Mossad-level opponents.

Technology could bring advantages, but the advantages were not absolute.

In order to prevent infiltration by the intelligence agencies of other countries, when the Ghost Agents absorbed new members, the choices were often those who had no experience in intelligence work. Also, they specifically targeted young people. Although this guaranteed loyalty, there was no way to make up for the lack of experience of actual intelligence workers.

“Do we need to send more field agents to Europe?” Ayesha asked, unable to admit defeat.

“No, that’s good for now.” Jiang Chen shook his head. Suddenly, he seemed to recollect something. “Yes, that mansion in Bav, have you checked the place out?”

“We checked. Carmen is not there.” Ayesha shook her head.

“Not Carmen, I want to ask, is old Rothschild doing okay?” Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

Although he and the Rothschild were no longer on friendly terms, he still felt good about the old man who lived by the lake. Even now, he still remembered what the old man said that night, and the greasy chicken that he made.

It was not delicious by any means, but compared to the treats at the banquet, it was a different flavor.

Ayesha took a moment to think, obviously not expecting Jiang Chen to suddenly ask about this. She didn’t have a deep impression of the old man because she did not attend the banquet with Jiang Chen. However, in the intelligence collected by the Ghost Agents, it mentioned the old man.

After earnestly recalling, she reported.

“His health condition is good. I heard… the former head of the family is constructing a ship by the lake?”

“Is the ship built?” asked Jiang Chen.

“It’s done… Do we need to keep an eye on him?” Ayesha titled her head.

“Haha, no, it’s just my personal curiosity. There is no need to send someone to monitor him.”

Glancing at the wall clock on the wall, it was already late. Jiang Chen rubbed Ayesha’s hair to end the topic of work.

“It’s late. Let’s get breakfast.”

Feeling the warmth on her head along with his big hand, Ayesha nodded tenderly.

“The food is ready. I’ll go bring it up.”

Jiang Chen smiled and reached for her slim waist, and whispered in her ear.

“Let’s go together.”

Her gorgeous face turned into a ripe apple and she shyly closed her eyes.

“Mhmm.”
