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

If minor frictions are also taken into account.

More than a hundred times.

Every contest is a war of attrition involving technology and capital.

Logically speaking, such a huge loss should be understandable.

No country could withstand such a defeat, not even the Dragon Kingdom.

The domestic economy should have collapsed long ago.

But the United States is able to overcome this predicament.

He still stood on equal footing with Jiang Chen, something Jiang Chen hadn't thought much about before.

This is solely due to the United States' strong technological capabilities and economic foundation.

They believed that even a centipede, though dead, does not stiffen.

It seems that this is not the case now.

Even the richest fortune will eventually run out.

In retrospect, there is indeed something fishy about this matter.

"According to my investigation, there are signs of corruption within our organization."

"Moreover, they colluded with high-ranking U.S. officials to reap huge profits."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was immediately stunned.

Because he never imagined that such a situation would occur inside the space city.

Jiang Chen had already emphasized this before.

The selection process for personnel in the space city is extremely rigorous.

They are all the most reliable elites of the Dragon Kingdom.

From research experts to ordinary employees.

All employees undergo rigorous background checks before being hired.

Now, Nong Huiyun has revealed that there is serious corruption and collusion within the organization.

This truly shocked him.

"That's impossible, not to mention how rigorous our review mechanism is."

"There shouldn't be any problems with the economic aspects."

"Our economic system uses state-of-the-art virtual currencies for measurement."

“Every expenditure has a clear destination, and every purpose is recorded.”

"And there are specialists reviewing it every day."

"How could corruption occur?"

Jiang Chen was completely baffled.

During the planning and construction of the space city.

He then established a strict internal economic revenue and expenditure system.

A mutual oversight mechanism has been established among each senior executive.

Grassroots staff also conduct daily reviews.

In other words, problems can occur at any stage.

The economic loopholes of the entire space city will be exposed.

He wanted to engage in corruption in his space city.

Jiang Chen believed it was absolutely impossible.

This is no less difficult than developing technology that surpasses space cities.

“Your judgment is correct, but after my in-depth investigation.”

"Our investigation was misguided."

"The problem is not in the economic sphere, but in the resource sector."

Nong Huiyun solemnly stated that, in fact, if it weren't for the accidental discovery of the clues...

She still doesn't realize the vast resources the space city possesses.

It is flowing steadily into the pockets of the United States.

Of course, this is not a one-sided gift.

“Some of our people are using the resources they control to engage in economic exchanges with the United States.”

"In other words, there are no problems with the financial accounts of the space city."

"But there are serious vulnerabilities at the resource level."

"These resources were exchanged for US currency."

Therefore, no abnormalities were found in the Space City account.

"Because each of our accounts is an independent entity."

"No one has the authority to investigate."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen suddenly understood; if it were really true...

This is indeed an extremely serious hidden danger.

At the same time, this operation is indeed feasible.

Because Jiang Chen's current management of resources is still at the macro-strategic level.

For example, the Mars Resource Zone and the Southeastern State Resources.

And the Kate resource area that I just acquired.

In fact, Jiang Chen was taking a holistic approach to overall planning.

Refined management and control have not yet been achieved.

Perhaps this is why certain high-ranking officials in the United States and the space city have been drawn into this situation.

An opportunity was discovered, and action was taken swiftly.

"I see, I was indeed negligent this time."

"How long has this corruption lasted?"

Jiang Chen nodded slightly and asked in a cold tone.

"It has been going on for three months now."

"You may not realize it yet, but if it weren't for the continuous technological output of our space city..."

"Maintaining global economic stability."

"Furthermore, the Chinese currency and the US currency form a hedge."

"The United States today."

"It could have already used its monetary system to reap global wealth."

"And everything I said is true, it really can sweep the globe."

"To bankrupt all countries."

This is indeed a terrifying development.

"The US monetary system is now reaping profits globally."

"Do you know who suffered the most damage? It was the Dragon Kingdom."

"A large amount of China's resources are continuously flowing out of the country without anyone noticing."

"And the final destination of these resources is the United States."

"In other words, we painstakingly explore resource areas and build various factories."

"Even by doing honest, legitimate business, we still can't compete with the monetary tactics of the United States."

Anyone would feel indignant and resentful in this situation.

It's like an honest and hardworking peddler who can only earn a meager income by setting up a stall every day.

A cunning businessman, on the other hand, relies solely on sweet talk and scheming.

They can then swindle everyone's wealth.

Moreover, it operates at zero cost.

Anyone would feel psychologically unbalanced in this situation.

"Oh my god, how could this happen?"

Jiang Chen was also shocked at this moment.

This matter involves far too serious issues.

This means that the United States now almost controls the world's resource zones.

Jiang Chen only had a few scattered mining areas.

Even if Jiang Chen wins every confrontation with the United States in the future.

But to the United States, they are like cockroaches that can't be killed.

The fact that it keeps recurring will create a vicious cycle.

Until the planet's resources are exhausted.

"This situation must change."

"But I am powerless to do anything about it."

Nong Huiyun said with a hint of helplessness.

Although she is now considered a senior manager.

But within the space city, which has a strict hierarchical system.

Her power remains quite limited.

It won't cause any trouble at all.

"I understand. We'll convene a full high-level meeting."

Jiang Chen nodded without hesitation.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, he was stopped by Nong Huiyun.

Are you trying to alert the enemy?

"Jiang Chen, there's something I must remind you of."

"I hope you can be mentally prepared."

"They were able to carry out this kind of embezzlement right under your nose."

"Only our highest-ranking members could accomplish this."

These words pierced Jiang Chen's heart like a sharp thorn.

It made him instantly unable to breathe.

They were indeed able to carry out embezzlement right under their noses.

How could those grassroots staff possibly do that?

Even if a vulnerability in the resource system is discovered by chance.

It will be detected very quickly.

Only these top executives from Space City.

Only then can it be done flawlessly.

And it was kept from him for a full three months.

In other words, these corrupt officials were right next to Jiang Chen.

She is still Jiang Chen's closest partner.

"That's impossible! That's completely illogical."

Jiang Chen slumped weakly into the chair.

It felt as if my entire worldview had collapsed.

Who are the people around him?
Luo Yong, Xu Liang, Long Tianxiang, Deng Tianlong, Jia Leijie, Ye Linglong.

These six people are the members with the highest authority besides Jiang Chen.

According to Nong Huiyun.

These six people are the prime suspects in this embezzlement case.

"Jiang Chen, I understand you find it hard to accept, but that's the truth."

"Therefore, you need to conduct a covert investigation."

"We can't let anyone find out."

"This corruption problem must be thoroughly eradicated."

"Otherwise, the space city will face a severe resource crisis."

"The entire space city system will be paralyzed." "This seriously threatens our survival."

Nong Huiyun's words were by no means alarmist.

She had no time to consider the pressure Jiang Chen was under at that moment.

As a leader, one has a responsibility to shoulder this burden.

If it weren't for Nong Huiyun overhearing a conversation between two staff members while passing by the resources department.

They wouldn't even notice.

Their resources have such a huge vulnerability.

A large amount of resources have been quietly harvested by the United States.

Jiang Chen has yet to realize the resource crisis.

This is because their resource areas are continuously expanding.

Moreover, the only major project at present is the space city.

Resources can maintain supply in the short term.

Over time, these drawbacks will become apparent.

By the time Jiang Chen discovered this, it would be too late.

What needs to be done now is to find the traitor.

And to minimize the losses.

The resources that flowed to the United States are unlikely to be recovered.

Just like how something that has been swallowed can never be spat out again.

"I understand this matter and will handle it carefully."

"Go back and continue gathering relevant intelligence."

"Notify me immediately of any new developments."

"Furthermore, the vulnerabilities in the resource area must be thoroughly investigated."

"Why does this problem occur?"

Nong Huiyun nodded slightly.

The surface of the entire space city is currently calm.

Only she and Jiang Chen knew about the embezzlement of resources. "Trouble just keeps piling up."
Jiang Chen shook his head and sighed helplessly.

If Nong Huiyun hadn't reported this matter in time...

When the US plan actually succeeds.

Jiang Chen will become the real culprit.

This kind of thing really shouldn't have happened.

But Jiang Chen was indeed helpless, as he had been the leader for some time.

For resource management and the management of other systems.

There is indeed a lack of relevant experience.

This is indeed a headache.

Because among Jiang Chen's senior members, those who truly wield real power.

It was still those loyal followers who had fought alongside him to conquer the world.

But these people are fine for leading the charge, but it's really difficult to put them in senior management positions.

It's indeed a bit unreasonable.

Power is not something that is easy to wield.

If a person is unclear about their direction, power will be in their hands.

It will only be wasted.

Take Luo Yong and Xu Liang as examples.

Jiang Chen initially appointed them as the second-in-command of Space City.

the reason is simple.

The intention was to give them experience through these two years of observation.

On the surface, their work seemed impeccable.

However, it has not significantly promoted the development of the space city.

They did a lukewarm job.

At most, I helped Jiang Chen simplify some of the tedious work.

But if we say that it made great contributions to the space city.

That's not entirely accurate; frankly, it's still just following the established procedures.

Both of them graduated from top universities.

That's certainly true if we're talking about exceptional talent.

But can they wield such immense power?

Now Jiang Chen has to question them.

Indeed, a person's power is directly proportional to their social standing.

But how do you find the mole among your trusted confidants?

Jiang Chen was truly clueless.

There wasn't even a direction for the investigation.

After pondering it over and over again for a long time.

Jiang Chen had no choice but to ask Liang Zhenshan for help.

Among all the powerful figures he knew, he was truly deserving of the title.

Liang Zhenshan is undoubtedly the true power holder.

Jiang Chen finally understood why Liang Zhenshan had been so flamboyant in Space City.

They disregarded everyone else, including Jia Leijie and Long Tianxiang.

These are the people who distinguished themselves in space warfare.

In his eyes, it was not worth mentioning at all.

It seems that those people will at most become ordinary generals.

Only someone like Liang Zhenshan is qualified to wield great power.

Jiang Chen quickly contacted Liang Zhenshan.

Tell the whole story.

Liang Zhenshan had already completed his deployment.

The next two weeks of fighting.

This will determine the ownership of the Northwest region.

The situation will become quite dire for the Northwest region.

Because it involves multiple large-scale battles.

Many cities will inevitably be reduced to ruins, leading to countless families being torn apart and lives lost.

Only in this way can we rebuild our homes.

Jiang Chen naturally couldn't stop these things.

This was not directly caused by him, nor was Jiang Chen directly involved.

It doesn't even qualify as indirect participation.

The discontent stemmed from the power struggles in the Northwest region.

All sides harbor rebellious intentions.

Ultimately, the seven major countries were thrown into chaos.

Add to that the US's instigation and the UN's inaction in the Northwest.

It's a done deal, and no one can change it.

Liang Zhenshan's involvement is merely an attempt to get a share of the pie and compete with the United States.

Jiang Chen's position is the same.

No one can change that.

After listening to Jiang Chen's account, Liang Zhenshan remained silent for a moment.

Then he made a startling statement.

"Actually, I was aware of the problems with your space city a long time ago."

"The situation regarding resource corruption is quite serious."

"This was an inevitable outcome, so I'm not surprised."

These words greatly surprised Jiang Chen.

Goodness, this guy really knows everything.

Is this the legendary ability to see and hear a thousand miles?
However, Jiang Chen was not surprised.

After all, their informants are spread across seven countries.

This intelligence system is far superior to even Jiang Chen's intelligence department.

Liang Zhenshan was the king of the intelligence world.

Intelligence networks can be established quickly, anywhere.

They can always get the information they need in the shortest amount of time.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel envious of this ability.

It can only be said that the other party has achieved what they have today.

They carved out a niche for themselves in the chaotic Northwest region.

His reputation is not undeserved but stems from genuine talent and learning.

What frustrated Jiang Chen was that you already knew about our problem.

He didn't even tell me first...

If Nong Huiyun hadn't revealed it, Jiang Chen would still be in the dark.

By the time you realize it, it's too late.

It can only be said that he and Liang Zhenshan admired each other.

However, both sides still need to be wary of each other.

However, your daughter is now working in my space city.

I should at least help with this small favor.

Otherwise, it really wouldn't make sense.

“I even know who the mastermind behind the resource embezzlement is.”

“I know his information very well.”

“But Jiang Chen, what you should do now is to reorganize the organizational structure of Space City.”

"It appears to be an impenetrable solid sheet on the surface, but in reality it is riddled with holes."

"You think that as long as you select people from within the country and go through background checks and other screenings, you can get reliable and trustworthy personnel."

"That's just your way of comforting yourself."

"The human heart is most vulnerable to temptation."

Liang Zhenshan understood Jiang Chen's thoughts very well.

The other party believes that as long as the personnel vetting is stricter.

We need to focus more on improving the system.

Everyone will surely work diligently and lawfully in the space city.

Absolutely no two minds.

But this was just Jiang Chen's wishful thinking.

The truth is, people's hearts are more treacherous than we imagine.

It is impossible to achieve equality for all people no matter where you are.

Even if the system, benefits, and treatment can achieve a relative balance.

But human nature is inherently hierarchical.

To give an example, that's how it is. (End of Chapter)
