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

“Mr. James, my wife and I are both business owners. I know my abilities are limited, but I think there’s something very important that you may have overlooked: Putt may have already shown up.”

This is Jiang Chuan's biggest worry right now. Everyone knows that if Put really causes trouble, it won't benefit anyone.

"Correct!"

That's certainly the case. Faced with this situation, James probably understands what they need to do next. Perhaps now is the best time to resolve the problem.

"Okay, let's not talk about that now. But I'm sure that if things continue to improve, there might still be a chance. It's just that right now, nobody knows where their achievements came from. That's about it."

The full impact of this event remains unclear. However, it is foreseeable that this may only be the beginning.

"Perhaps we are only now slowly beginning to understand the meaning behind this. But since we have already reached this crossroads, we can only grit our teeth and move forward. The main reason we have come to you today is to seek your help. Because what we are most worried about is, what if war really breaks out this time? The Kingdom of Atlantis can no longer withstand the ravages of war."

"You can do it."

At this moment, Jiang Chuan smiled.

"But the war you are facing this time may not be limited to your country. This may only be the beginning, and it may even affect the whole world."

"What do you mean?"

Although the superiors did not completely agree with Jiang Chuan's views, they still said it in front of everyone.

"Forget about those unimportant things. I think you all know what to do. At least for now, what we need to do is clear."

Everyone knows that there might be enormous power at play behind this. But whether that can be confirmed is another matter entirely.

“Okay! I’m all ears,” James said.

"Research into supernatural powers has already begun, as you are aware. We are doing this because we are concerned about unforeseen events that humanity may struggle to cope with in the future. Based on our assessment, Putt may not originate from the dimension you perceive. Furthermore, prophecies indicate that an extremely bizarre war may break out in the near future."

This is currently the most worrying issue. How to respond to this phenomenon and how to arrange various events are truly unpredictable at this point. One can only say that this may be a rare opportunity for a breakthrough.

"You mean there's absolutely no way out right now? If that's the case, doesn't that mean humanity is facing annihilation?"

James looked very worried after hearing this.

"No, you can rest assured. Our country has already begun research. However, the key is whether your country's current situation can withstand it. The reason is simple: your country has gone through many trials and tribulations, and its people are quite intelligent. You only need to rely on them."

In truth, hearing these words left James with a bitter taste. The people of this country currently appear disorganized, and given the country's recent establishment, compared to great nations with millennia of civilization, their ability to handle affairs is naturally chaotic.

Moreover, as everyone knows, this country is currently on a downward spiral. Although from some perspectives there is still room for redemption, the actual situation is extremely serious and may even bring some extremely terrible consequences, which is very troublesome.

"Ugh!"

James realized at that moment that asking for help directly was not an option.

"Since that's the case, let me be frank with you. Your military must find a new breakthrough. If all else fails, we can provide weapons if you need them. After all, your weaponry is currently being upgraded through the military industry, and we all know that other countries don't easily provide their high-tech products."

At this moment, Jiang Chuan smiled and decided to speak his mind.

"However, if possible, we can indeed provide you with a batch of weapons and equipment, but most of these supplies will require various modifications, after all, we have some..."

“Mr. Jiang, I understand what you mean. I’m not asking you to provide those things. The key is that I’m here to ask for your help because I hope you can provide us with some practical solutions, such as how to deal with those believers. If all else fails, you’ll need to send troops to help us. I really don’t want any problems to arise this time. As you know, our army is far weaker than yours.”

Now everyone understood that this appeared to be a war, one that they needed to deal with personally. But the key point was that this didn't seem to fit the actual situation.

"What does our deployment of troops mean? Although this is an invitation from you, don't forget what will happen if the situation gets out of control. If we really want to send troops, then from now on we must negotiate, determine what to do, and sign an agreement with each other."

In fact, the higher-ups are well aware of this, and most importantly, now is not the time to send troops.

"To be honest, sending more intelligence agents would be better than sending troops now. After all, to some extent, if they can help you figure out what Putin is up to, it might be more effective than sending a large number of troops. Moreover, the people you can suppress might end up turning around and spreading propaganda. What if your people are all brainwashed and turn into a crazy country? What will become of your government then?"

Sure enough, at the crucial moment, Jiang Chuan's words made James realize that he couldn't act blindly now.

"Moreover, I can say for sure that I do have the capability to send troops there, and I believe my superiors would agree. But the biggest problem is, what will happen once they get there? Our troops are there to solve problems, not to spend their days eating, drinking, and having fun with you."

This is the biggest problem right now, and everyone knows that once trouble really arises, it will be extremely difficult to handle.

"Alright! In that case, I'll head back to China tomorrow and discuss it with our president. You're right, sending a group of excellent intelligence personnel is indeed more important than sending troops."

And so, two days later, the first thing James did after returning to Atlantis was to rush to the Little White Building.

"You mean they plan to send a large number of intelligence personnel here, is that right?"

"Yes! And they also signed an agreement, which means that after this group of people arrives, they will act directly according to Ajette's requirements."

"Alright!"...

This made everyone realize that the situation was probably more complicated than they had anticipated. They would have to make their own judgment and prepare themselves mentally beforehand; otherwise, no one could be sure they would be able to seize the opportunity in the end.

"In that case, let's stop worrying about those unimportant things for now. I believe that in the end, everyone will have a deeper understanding of some things."

This changes the situation considerably. Everyone knows that true acceptance might only begin at this point. Ultimately, what they do depends on their own thoughts. And as it turns out, their decision was the right one.

"Okay, let's not dwell on these issues anymore. If we can really help you solve these problems, then we can say that we've successfully made some changes."

But at this moment, Jones was filled with worry.

“My idea is this: since things have come to this point, I hope Jiang Chuan can come to our Atlantis country. Tell him to rest assured that we will not let him do anything he shouldn’t do, and I, as the president, will guarantee his personal safety.”

"Row!"

Jiang Chuan was quite shocked to hear this. If they followed the official arrangements, there seemed to be no problem on the surface, but no one could say for sure what might happen.

"I'm telling you, you have to go."

Xu Jiajia didn't want her husband to go to Atlantis again, but after thinking it over, she couldn't refuse. After all, everyone knew it was a rare experience. Even if something went wrong, there were still ways to resolve it.

"When you get there, remember one thing: protect yourself first. Chen Guodong definitely can't go with you now; he's the commander of the Space Force and has to follow the rules."

"It's alright, I can go by myself if necessary. But I still need to report to my superiors where I'm going first."

This time, the higher-ups agreed and even sent a general along. This changed the situation.

Upon arriving in Atlantis, they were immediately picked up by helicopter as soon as they disembarked. Even more surprisingly, Jones was the one in the helicopter.

"First of all, I warmly welcome you to our country. However, there is something very important I must tell you. Our country is currently facing some very troublesome problems, and I hope you can help me."

"To be honest, I know what's going on. The main thing is that Putt has been found, but he's been sending brainwashing text messages to your people. I'm here to help you solve this problem. But I don't understand why we have to talk about this on the helicopter?"

“Because I’m not sure if they have any spies in the Little White Building. If you go there, it could be troublesome. So today I’m taking you to my private estate, where we can have a frank talk. After we’re done talking, you should hurry back to China, and I’ll try to stall Putin.”

"Row!"

It seems the situation is indeed quite tricky, and how everyone views this matter is crucial.

Upon arriving at the manor, everyone wore a serious expression. The key was how they would resolve these issues.

“The matter of the believers has been giving me a terrible headache lately, and I don’t know what to do. If things continue to change like this, you should know what the final outcome will be.”

"Correct!"

But then, they started laughing.

"Let me make this clear first, how this matter should be resolved is none of my business. I came to Atlantis at your invitation, and I don't know how to help you."

"We just hope you can give us some advice. As you know, our country's intelligence network mainly relies on you and the current decision-making level. Now that you're ready, we want to figure out what to do next, especially how to find Putt."

Jiang Chuan suddenly realized that their trip here seemed pointless. No one was telling the truth when dealing with these people.

"Ugh!"

Left with no other choice, he could only shake his head.

"I think you still hope I can bring the army. It's not that I can't, I can even bring my mech legion. But the problem is, what's the use? What problem can you solve? You can't solve anything, so why bother?"

"well!"……

In truth, they all know in their hearts that facing these requirements is an extremely terrifying process. If they could truly obtain the corresponding qualifications, perhaps there would still be a chance, but now the situation has been completely turned upside down, and no one knows what they plan to do next.

"Honestly, we are really worried. If this situation can't be changed by now, then there's no point in us staying here."

"Tell me, what is the purpose of our existence? By now, this matter has had a significant impact on everyone. Isn't that something you should seriously consider?"

In reality, everyone understands now that such principles and bottom lines are extremely difficult to define. So how serious are the issues that everyone needs to consider? Don't worry too much; everyone understands, and the current situation itself will have a huge impact on them.

"Well, how should I put it? It's definitely time to make changes, which is a good thing in principle. But who can be sure what will happen next? That's also crucial."

Therefore, it would be best if everyone could reach a complete consensus by now. Moreover, everyone understands that this is inherently about a sense of shared identity.

"Row!"

Jiang Chuan finally understood. It seemed he really needed to help everyone solve a real problem. It turned out there was more than one major issue; funding was also a huge problem. After all, Atlantis had gone through so much turmoil and was now genuinely short of money.

"No, I find you guys quite interesting. Since you're short of money, why don't you just say so directly? Why do you have to beat around the bush and make me slowly prompt you to find out?"

"That's right, we are, after all, the nation of Atlantis. If it were your country, the world's largest economy, what would you do in this situation?"

"Excuse me, I must correct you first. As far as I know, after several wars, your overall economic strength is currently only second in the world, while we are number one."

Jiang Chuan needed to clarify things first; he wouldn't stoop to such a charade. After all, the situation could be quite complicated at the championship level. (End of Chapter)
