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

Jiang Chen could actually tell.

There was a deeper meaning behind Liang Zhenshan's refusal of the invitation.

That is, this person, like himself, harbors boundless ambition and extraordinary abilities.

He was unwilling to be subordinate to Jiang Chen, but rather hoped to be on equal footing with him.

To put it bluntly, it's about not wanting to be controlled by others.

Of course, he does possess such abilities.

This can be seen from at least these few incidents.

He is not a mediocre person who talks big but doesn't put on a show.

Rather, they are truly highly skilled individuals.

"Regarding your daughter's matter, we should be able to resolve it smoothly through negotiations."

"But when I spoke with her, I found that she did not have a strong desire to return to China."

"Next, I plan to arrange for her to work in the space city."

"Only there can she have a complete family."

"You don't have to live in constant fear like you would in other places."

“Having experienced this period of imprisonment in the United States, Liang Wanting was like a frightened fawn.”

"Be wary of everyone."

Jiang Chen sighed softly.

Did Liang Wanting do something wrong? Of course not.

She was just doing her job.

The crux of her problem lies in her true identity—

Not a true American.

This is precisely what makes Liang Wanting so famous in the United States.

They have never truly earned the respect of the locals.

"Actually, I would prefer her to come back to my side and inherit my mantle."

This is also a hidden pain in Liang Zhenshan's heart.

In his early years, he and his wife had an only daughter, Liang Wanting.

Liang Zhenshan certainly wanted to show more care for this child.

Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances forced him to leave.
Listening to Liang Zhenshan's story, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.

"You should understand that this simply won't work."

“I told you before, when I mentioned you,”

“Your daughter almost turned against me, which shows how deep her resentment towards you is.”

"How about this, I know you love your daughter dearly."

"I'm not forcing you to join Space City; I'll just keep your doctoral title here."

"You can come to visit your daughter in your spare time."

Even if she dislikes you, a father-daughter reunion is inevitable. What do you think?

This seems to be the most appropriate arrangement at present.

Liang Zhenshan couldn't find a more suitable solution either.

He readily nodded in agreement.

He's just a PhD in name only.

It's not too difficult.

The two then successfully reached an agreement.

For Jiang Chen, even an honorary doctorate,

It is a win-win situation for both parties.

Essentially, it's about each getting what they need and benefiting from each other.

"Alright, the mission is complete. I should go back and take charge now."

"Once the people here are released, I will begin operations on my side as well."

"Please implement this matter as soon as possible; the problems in the Northwest region cannot be delayed any longer."

"Otherwise, the difficulty of control will increase significantly, and we will encounter numerous obstacles."

Liang Zhenshan said with a furrowed brow.

To be honest, this was the first time Jiang Chen had ever seen him talk about this matter so seriously.

It is clear that the current situation has indeed reached a critical juncture.

We really can't delay any longer.

"No problem, I will personally intervene in this negotiation."

"We'll try to rescue Liang Wanting within the next two days."

Jiang Chen readily nodded in agreement.

As expected, Jiang Chen kept his word in the subsequent negotiations.

He personally participated in it.
He sat down at the negotiating table directly with an eight-star US general.

Previous consultations have reached some consensus.

That is, several terms acceptable to both parties, and the demands made by Space City.
The United States has agreed.

For example, releasing Liang Wanting and sharing some of the benefits.

However, regarding the requirements for acquiring any one of the three resource zones...

The United States has consistently refused to budge.

Their attitude was unusually tough.

This left the Space City representatives helpless.

"Commander Jiang Chen, we are here to negotiate in good faith."

"But these three resource zones are jointly owned by the United States."

“It would be inappropriate for you to take it now.”

"Therefore, further consultations are needed to reach a consensus on this matter."

What do you think?

I thought Jiang Chen would continue to maneuver around this point.

Little did they know that they had underestimated Jiang Chen's courage and determination.

Jiang Chen simply propped his legs up on the negotiating table.
He stared at the other person with disdain.

"I don't have time to waste here."

"Today is the last day of negotiations. Please give me your answer before noon tomorrow."

"Otherwise, Space City will consider launching an attack on the U.S. mainland."

"Please believe that I have the ability to keep this promise."

"My condition is: on the condition that all your soldiers and equipment be returned,"

"We need to obtain the right to share a resource zone."

"This is the most basic condition; if this condition cannot be met,"

"Both sides can only escalate the situation through force."

If someone else had said those words,

The US commander-in-chief might think it's just a bluff.

But these words came from Jiang Chen's mouth—

He certainly possesses that ability.

Jiang Chen's words silenced the US's top commander.

He lowered his head and wrote and drew for a moment, then discussed in hushed tones with those around him.

I have no idea what they're discussing.

The negotiations lasted for more than two hours.

Both sides are striving to protect their own interests.

till the end,
The eight-star general of the United States finally made the final decision.

He looked at Jiang Chen solemnly:

We will respond to this matter as soon as possible.

"We hope to reach a final consensus before that, which is the most crucial point."

"Under this premise, we can give up one resource zone."

That makes sense, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Only on this basis can both sides better advance the negotiations.

In fact, Jiang Chen greatly admired the United States' foresight.

Because these three resource zones are unexploited areas that have been preserved for thousands of years.
The United States holds the dominant position.

On the territory of other countries,

Countries will form exploration teams.

To develop resources on one's own territory.

But to this day...

The exploration and exploitation of many resource areas are almost in their final stages.

In other words, the vast majority of resources are almost exhausted.

It is important to know that the formation of these precious resources is the result of tens of thousands of years of accumulation and sedimentation.

Even after thousands of years of vicissitudes, the three major resource zones controlled by the United States have still been affected.

It remains a pristine, untouched area to this day.

Therefore, these resource areas possess immeasurable value.

In addition, they cover a vast area and contain various rare metals and minerals.

The resources are all-encompassing, according to the information collected by Jiang Chen's Divine Eye Detection System.

It encompasses more than 800 kinds of precious resources.

Moreover, these are all non-renewable resources with incredibly large reserves, if they can be successfully obtained.

This would undoubtedly be a significant boost to the country's military strength.

So, Jiang Chen is the victor.

Of course, they also hope to get a share of the profits.

In truth, this whole thing is the fault of the United States for being too self-righteous.

Jiang Chen had only asked them to return Liang Wanting.

They never intended to start this conflict.

So ultimately, we have to blame the United States; who told them to be so arrogant and conceited?

The eight-star general from the United States solemnly stated, "We can allocate one of our resource zones to you."

"But the US side must be responsible for oversight, control, and data aggregation."

"We need to submit this data to our highest authority."

"This is also an important part of our work process."

"To ensure the safety of our data team, we will also send an armed squad to your resource area."

"This is the biggest compromise I can make."

"If you can't even accept this condition."

"Then I think there's no need for us to continue negotiating."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

The United States has indeed reached the pinnacle in terms of negotiation, bargaining, and extracting benefits.

Today, Jiang Chen experienced this deeply once again.

They plan to send their own security personnel to gather data intelligence and information on total resources.

This was quite reasonable for Jiang Chen.

After all, it's their territory; let them collect it if they want.

This is no big deal and won't hinder Jiang Chen's plan.

However, their desire to have a team permanently stationed there is somewhat intriguing.

It's not that I'm worried about this team posing much of a threat to Jiang Chen's resource zone.

But this is undoubtedly like planting a spy.

After a few minutes of careful consideration, Jiang Chen readily nodded in agreement.

"Alright, we'll do as you say. Please implement it as soon as possible."

"I need your final confirmation by noon tomorrow."

The two sides have finally reached a consensus on this issue.

Jiang Chen's tough stance allowed him to maintain firm control of the situation.

When the eight-star US general first arrived for negotiations, he discovered that Jiang Chen was in charge.

He also prepared a whole host of negotiation techniques.

Who knew that Jiang Chen would not play by the rules at all.

They pulled off a decisive blow right from the start, throwing out a trump card right from the beginning.

This made the eight-star general of the United States a little uneasy.

It seems that this trick is indeed quite effective.

With the departure of the US delegation.

As usual, Jiang Chen convened a high-level meeting.

Long Tianxiang frowned deeply.

He found it hard to understand why Jiang Chen had agreed to those conditions.

"Commander Jiang Chen, the other side's intentions are very clear."

"This unit was deployed here to monitor our technological developments."

"Moreover, it can also coordinate with the United States both domestically and internationally."

"It creates potential risks for us."

"This will inevitably affect our mining operations in the Kate resource area, bringing considerable pressure and trouble."

Kate's resource area was exactly the place Jiang Chen and his team wanted to obtain.

Due to previous negotiations in the Mars resource zone.

Jiang Chen had already experienced the United States' underhanded tricks firsthand.

They always assigned Jiang Chen those resource-poor but vast areas.

Only the United States would resort to such despicable tactics.

So, taking advantage of this opportunity to seize the initiative, Jiang Chen naturally learned his lesson.

He personally selected the three resource zones.

The US has no right to interfere, and the other side has no choice but to agree.

Of course, they couldn't refuse even if they wanted to.

Because Jiang Chen's attitude was exceptionally firm, they had no choice but to agree.

This is precisely what Long Tianxiang is most worried about right now.

Jiang Chen really shouldn't have agreed to that request.

The troops stationed there were to them.

It certainly does not pose a significant military threat.

But this potential problem does exist.

This will greatly hinder their subsequent resource extraction.

Moreover, their soldiers have to be stationed alongside American soldiers.

This doesn't seem quite right, as everyone knows.

The soldiers in the space city and the American soldiers have always been at odds.

Moreover, this would send a wrong signal to the outside world.

That is, whether they intend to merge with each other.

This can certainly be seen as the first initial alliance between the two parties.

So for Jiang Chen...

He will create a misunderstanding among outsiders.

I thought he had made peace with the United States.

The country most prone to misunderstandings is the Dragon Kingdom.

Of course, these problems can be solved through communication.

The core focus now is on this deployed force.

The US troops are stationed in their controlled areas. It's quite a delicate situation.
"I didn't want to agree, but I really had no choice."

"After all, we fought for these resource zones."

If possible, Jiang Chen would certainly like to refuse.

But there's really no way to refuse this.

Besides, what difference would it make if they sent a unit here?

Jiang Chen's thinking has long since transcended this.

He was completely fearless.

The matter was quickly settled.

Time flies, and it's noon the next day.

The United States accepted Jiang Chen's proposal.

Both sides then began to make arrangements for the handover.

Southeastern Prefecture.

At that moment, a hovercar sped towards us from afar.

Many people got off the car, including Liang Wanting, whom Jiang Chen knew well.

Following behind Liang Wanting was her entire family.

However, there were not many people, only Liang Wanting's mother and grandparents.

There are only four relatives in total.

Jiang Chen first settled Liang Wanting's relatives in Southeast Prefecture.

He then took Liang Wanting to his office.

At this moment, Liang Wanting was filled with mixed feelings.

I eventually left the United States because I was not valued there.

Even though she was a genius girl.

But in reality, it's just a bargaining chip held tightly in the hands of the United States.

Such an ending would be hard for anyone to accept.

But now we can only accept reality.

Liang Wanting originally only wanted to try her best to survive there and live with dignity.

I never imagined that I would end up in such a miserable state.

"So, what are your thoughts now?"

Jiang Chen poured the other person a cup of tea and asked with a smile.

"Are you here to mock me? I left the United States to come here to seek refuge."

"It's just a different den of wolves."

"I don't think there's anything to be happy about."

This is probably what Liang Wanting really thought.

In the United States, no matter what, one at least has some financial resources.

There's also a small villa, and even its own research institute.

Who could have imagined that in such a short time...

They ended up with nothing, and all their assets were frozen.

They were also taken hostage and brought to Jiang Chen.

Liang Wanting didn't have any negative feelings towards Jiang Chen.

In any case, the two are old friends.

She just finds it hard to accept her current situation.

After all, she's like a stray dog ​​right now.

Naturally, my mood wasn't very good.

Jiang Chen actually felt sorry for the other party.

It's not easy for a girl to survive in the United States.

Moreover, she has carved out her own niche in the world.

That makes it even more precious.

It can only be said that all of this is the cruel twist of fate.

"I'm not here to laugh at you."

"I believe you deserve a better environment given your abilities."

"In the US, you're ultimately not one of them, so of course you won't be well-received." (End of Chapter)
