Let you change the Hongqi h9, not the Hongqi missile vehicle

They may be capable of doing it themselves, but the price they would have to pay would certainly be high.

From this perspective, they are quite clever.

All you need to do is pay money.

But those who cooperate have to pay the price with their lives.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen had no intention of sacrificing his life this time.

"This is the enemy's basic information. With the Desert Star in hand, everything is negotiable."

Purple Rose said calmly.

The two had only been discussing it for a short time when
A middle-aged man walked in.

"Hehe, I heard that a master has arrived, and he's from our Dragon Kingdom."

This middle-aged man is none other than Long Tianya, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Tianshen Group.

Looking at the person in front of him, Jiang Chen nodded indifferently.

After a brief greeting, Long Tianya began to speak:
"I wouldn't dare call myself an expert; I'm just someone who works for others."

Upon hearing this, Long Tianya chuckled.

"Making hundreds of millions in one job is no easy feat. If everyone in the world were like you, who wouldn't want to work?"

Jiang Chen remained noncommittal and did not respond directly.

"Xiao Bai, since you've already accepted this mission plan, and you're from China, I have a lot of confidence in your abilities."

"Therefore, I have withdrawn the relevant bounty."

"Once the bounty is removed, it can never be put back on the dark web."

"I'm doing this because I believe in your abilities. I think it won't be difficult for you to obtain their Desert Star, and there's no need to go to great lengths with them. You should know that. I only have one request."

"If you can really get the Desert Star, I can give you a billion as a reward."

"However, the Desert Star must be intact."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded.

This task is indeed quite difficult.

The Desert Star is fragile.

This is a top-tier antique treasure.

Moreover, it has been around for over a thousand years.

Its value is immeasurable in monetary terms.

Don't assume that holding the Desert Star in your hand will prevent it from getting damaged; that's impossible.

All antiques will weather over time!
This is the most difficult problem.

Once it weathers, it's considered damaged.

The request made by Long Tianya was indeed very difficult.

If Jiang Chen wants to take this thing out, he'll probably have to take the safe with him too.

This significantly increased the difficulty of the task.

"Xiao Bai, this matter is not so easy. Now the entire Southeast State is watching this thing."

"Of course, after all, it's worth a billion."

“If it were that easy to get, it wouldn’t be worth a billion. I know that in my heart.”

“I also know that many people are eyeing this thing.”

"However, it will be mine sooner or later."

The two sides quickly reached an agreement.

No one said anything more; everyone knew what was going on.

In the Southeastern State, everyone needs to have a tacit understanding.
You also need to understand the rules here.

Verbal agreements are very important here.

For them, keeping their word is like a faith.

The contract is like a piece of waste paper here.
Nothing works.

After all, this place is not under the control of any country.

What good is a contract if you don't have one?
Therefore, what people value most is the other party's strength, qualifications, and so on.

Only when these conditions are met
Cooperation between the two parties is necessary to achieve this.

Otherwise, that's just wishful thinking.

Purple Rose watched Jiang Chen's departing figure with a slight frown.

"Boss, do you really think this guy can complete the mission?"

"If I'm not mistaken, he doesn't seem to have any achievements in the Southeast State."

"And it seems like they just arrived recently."

"If he doesn't have that ability, we'll be in trouble."

Although the other party seemed to have some real skills
But something about Purple Rose just felt off.

Because Jiang Chen looks so young.

They placed all their hopes on a person they had never met.
Isn't this a bit too hasty? What if they want to get the Desert Star again later?

That would be extremely difficult.

"He can not only complete the task, but he can do it exceptionally well."

"I'm really curious now, what exactly does this guy want to do here?"

Long Tianya raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone carrying a hint of certainty.

This isn't him praising Jiang Chen.

Rather, he genuinely knew how formidable Jiang Chen was.

Finally, he looked thoughtfully at the purple rose and said softly:
"I have deployed some of the world's most advanced and highly sensitive surveillance and defense facilities around our area."

"Any movement within our monitoring range will be detected immediately."

"And this time, he was able to secretly plant explosives right under our noses without us noticing. This ability alone is enough to show that he is capable of obtaining the Desert Star."

This is Long Tianya's standard for judging people.

The so-called judging people by their appearance or age

It's always the worst possible solution.

In his eyes, Jiang Chen might be a young man.
But more importantly, he is an exceptionally capable person.

Moreover, he is a Chinese citizen, which makes me feel more at ease.

Taking all these reasons into account,
Long Tianya then decided to place all his hopes on Jiang Chen.

"Even if he doesn't get the Desert Star this time, I'll think of other ways to get it."

"Let's wait and see. I believe he will bring us good news."

Regarding these people's questions,

Jiang Chen was completely unaware of this at the moment.

After obtaining the detailed information,
He quickly assembled his space city team.

Since it's a real battle, there will be life and death, so armor cannot be used.

That's too extreme and doesn't achieve the purpose of actual combat.

"Of course, after all, it's worth a billion."

“If it were that easy to get, it wouldn’t be worth a billion. I know that.”

“I understand that there are quite a few people eyeing this thing.”

"However, it will be mine sooner or later."

The two sides quickly reached an agreement without saying anything more, each understanding the other's intentions.

In Southeast Asia, everyone needs to have a tacit understanding.

You also need to understand the rules here.

Verbal agreements are crucial here.

For them, keeping their word is like a faith.

The contract is here; it's nothing but a piece of waste paper.
Useless.

After all, this place is not under the control of any country.

What's the point of having a contract?
Therefore, people value the other party's strength and qualifications more.

Only if these conditions are met

Only through cooperation between the two parties can this be achieved.

Otherwise, that's just wishful thinking.

Purple Rose watched Jiang Chen's retreating figure with a furrowed brow.

"Boss, do you really think this kid can do it?"

"If I'm not mistaken, he doesn't seem to have any achievements in Southeast Asia yet."

"And it seems like they just arrived recently."

"If he doesn't have that ability, we'll be in trouble."

Although the other party seemed to have some ability
But Purple Rose always felt uneasy.

Because Jiang Chen was simply too young. They placed all their hopes on someone they had never met.
Isn't this too hasty? What if we want to get the Desert Star later?
That would be much more difficult.

"He will not only complete the task, but he will do it exceptionally well."

"Now I'm curious, what exactly does this kid want to do here?"

Long Tianya raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone firm.

This isn't him praising Jiang Chen.

Rather, he was genuinely aware of Jiang Chen's strength.

Finally, he looked thoughtfully at the purple rose and slowly spoke:
"I have deployed some of the world's most advanced and highly sensitive surveillance and defense facilities around our area."

"We can detect any movement within our monitoring range immediately."

"And this time, he actually managed to secretly plant explosives right under our noses."

"We haven't even discovered him yet, but this skill alone is enough to prove he can get the Desert Star."

This is Long Tianya's way of recognizing people.

The so-called judging people by their appearance or age

It's always the worst possible strategy.

In his eyes, Jiang Chen might be young,
But he is definitely an outstanding person.

Moreover, he was a Chinese citizen, which made Long Tianya feel more at ease.

Taking all factors into account,

Long Tianya then decided to place all his hopes on Jiang Chen.

Even if he doesn't get the Desert Star this time
I'll find other ways to get my hands on it.

"Let's wait and see. I believe he will bring us good news."

Regarding these questions,

Jiang Chen was completely unaware of this.

After receiving the detailed information,
He quickly assembled his space city team.

Since it's real combat, it's a battle of life and death.
Therefore, armor cannot be worn.

That's too extreme and doesn't achieve the purpose of actual combat.

Since it's a real battle, it must be a battle to the death.

This trip included Jiang Chen,

No one can wear armor.

There were more than twenty people who came with Jiang Chen.

This number is not large in Southeast Asia.

But this is the most manpower Jiang Chen can currently mobilize.

Because if there are too many people, the target will be too big, and it will be easy for something to happen.

"Huang Long, how's the investigation I asked you to do going?"

Jiang Chen looked at the squad leader of this unit and asked.

Before any task begins,

They all need to know detailed intelligence about the enemy.

Although the Celestial Group had already provided him with a considerable amount of relevant information.
But Jiang Chen dared not believe it entirely.

Some things are better investigated by our own people to ensure peace of mind.

Information obtained by our own people is the only reliable information.

"We found out. These three forces are well-known mercenary groups and local warlords in Southeast Asia. They have long held sway over this region."

"Initially, there were twelve factions here, but after a major reshuffle, only three remain."

"Therefore, these three forces are extremely powerful, and their total number of mercenaries even reaches more than 30,000!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen frowned.

That's not simple, it really is not simple.

Based on this number of people, and considering what the Celestial Group said...

Their weaponry is also very advanced.
There are even missiles and the like.

The Desert Star must have been well preserved by them.

No wonder the Tian Shen Group didn't dare to come and take it themselves.

Indeed, they dare not.

The Celestial God Group would not dare to provoke any of these three forces lightly.

To put it bluntly, the mercenaries here are warlords.

Tian Shen Group is actually here to do business.
So you have to get along well with them.

Now it seems that completing this task is indeed not so easy.

"However, there is one thing that may be more difficult to handle."

After saying the next thing, Captain Huang Long hesitated.

This intelligence seems to be putting their next move in a difficult position.

"Just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush."

Jiang Chen said somewhat displeased.

"Commander, these three forces have captured quite a few prisoners recently."

"The number of people was as high as more than two hundred, and these people came from many different countries."

"Moreover, many of them are from our Dragon Kingdom; they were all tricked into coming here."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen frowned.

I originally thought the other side was only strong in military power.

This way, Jiang Chen won't feel too much psychological pressure when dealing with the situation.

At most, it's a contest of military strength with the other side.
Let's see who's better.

But now it seems the situation is more complicated than he imagined.

If the other side has prisoners in their hands, they can't act without restraint.

If a real fight breaks out,
If the other side uses these hostages as a shield...
That would put Jiang Chen and his team in a difficult position, and their casualties would be significant.

Although Jiang Chen had no obligation to save these people,
After all, they went abroad voluntarily, and they can only blame their bad luck for being tricked into coming here.

But Jiang Chen couldn't just stand by and watch his compatriots suffer.
do nothing.

If it can be saved, he still wants to try his best.
So that they can return to the embrace of their motherland.

"This is indeed a considerable problem."

"They were too careless; they actually captured so many prisoners."

The others could only manage a wry smile.

This is my first time carrying out a mission in a place like this.

That's when we encountered such a tricky problem.

Most importantly, they were not a regular army.

Instead, they were sent by the Space City for training.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Chen's troops can only be considered an army group.
There is absolutely no obligation to save lives.

So now they face two difficult problems.

The first question is whether they still want to participate in this combat operation.

If you're going to participate, the main goal is to obtain the Desert Star.

The priority should still be rescuing the hostages.

As everyone knows, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

If they choose to save these prisoners,
Then the Desert Star is basically out of the running.

If you alert them, they won't be foolish enough to leave the Desert Star in its place.

If they choose to continue their clever strategy to capture Desert Star,

What will happen to these hostages and prisoners?
Their fate is unlikely to be good.

Is Jiang Chen really going to stand by and watch his compatriots be bullied?
At this moment, this dilemma left everyone at a loss for what to do.

"Remember, we must keep our identities hidden from others during the next operation."

"We must not let them know our ultimate goal."

"In short, we must not let the enemy discover any information about us during the battle."

"Otherwise, all efforts will be in vain."

After pondering for a long time, Jiang Chen said calmly.

Huang Long and the others were stunned upon hearing this.
Some people didn't understand what Jiang Chen meant.

"Commander, what is our final battle plan?"

"Should we rescue the prisoners, or take the Desert Star?"

Jiang Chen sneered.

"They say you can't have your cake and eat it too, but I refuse to believe it." (End of Chapter)
