Chapter 1009 The ruble and the military base

When entering the door, Jiang Chen noticed that at least ten eyes were focused on him. However, he didn't care and walked forward as usual.

"Surprised?" Pukin raised his eyebrows and made a gesture to the sofa with his empty hand.

"Indeed," Jiang Chen shrugged, walked to the sofa opposite him and sat down, nodded slightly to the waiter who handed him champagne, and then looked at the leader of the fighting nation. "I heard from the Minister of Foreign Affairs that you are inspecting the frontline on the Crimean Peninsula and will not return to Moscow after three days."

Both of them are pretty good in English and do not need to communicate through translation.

Flirting with Jiang Chen gently, Pu Jin drank the champagne in one gulp, and then handed the goblet to the waiter.

"If you want to deceive our enemies, you must first deceive your own people."

"Do you still need to be so careful in Moscow?" Jiang Chen quipped.

"It's not bad to be careful. Russia has a vast territory, and it's hard to guarantee that one or two mice will not slip in from any corner." Speaking of this, Pujin crossed his fingers on his knees, leaned forward slightly, and his blue-brown pupils looked directly at Jiang Chen, "Then, time is tight, so let's get to the point of not missing this cocktail party."

Pukin looked at Nikolayev standing behind Jiang Chen and winked at him.

General Nikolayev stood attentively and saluted, took a map from the bodyguard next to him, stepped forward and spread the map flat on the coffee table.

This is a topographic map, covering two cities, Donetsk City and Dnepropetrovsk, and contour lines outline the basin and foothills. The two big cities are also sandwiched between the Red Army Village and Bapurograd. Three jagged black lines are drawn in the middle of the map. Three or four arrows pierced the heart of the Donetsk Republic from the northwest like a sharp knife, dividing the civilian armed forces in Donetsk and Lugansk.

Jiang Chen is very familiar with this map. It is not only European countries that are paying attention to the Ukrainian civil war. However, the information disclosed on this map is slightly different from what Jiang Chen learned. Although he heard that the civil armed forces were sliding towards decline, he did not expect that they were so declining. If he read it correctly, the civil armed forces that had already pushed to the Dnieper River would have been dared to go home.

Nikolayev's next few words confirmed Jiang Chen's speculation.

"Since last month, an illegal private armed force entered Ukraine from Poland and the war situation began to take a sharp turn. They claimed to be mercenaries and were employed by the Ukrainian president. The funding sources are quite complex, including the National Foundation for Democracy, and a total of more than 20 North American and European human rights institutions. Our intelligence personnel tried to investigate its shareholders behind the scenes, and eventually all the clues pointed to an organization."

"Masonic?" Jiang Chen asked.

"You guessed it right." Nikolayev paused, looking at Jiang Chen and continued, "This is not a regular mercenary. They are composed of retired veterans and refugees from NATO members and are trained in Finland. Their equipment is not limited to automatic weapons, but also includes armored vehicles, tanks, and even armed helicopters..."

"Tank? Armed helicopter? What's the difference between this and the army?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but say.

"This is an army, and it is comparable to the 58th Army." Nikolayev added.

The silence lasted for a long time.

At this time, Pujin, who had not spoken, spoke.

"How is it? Are you sure?"

"Sir?" Jiang Chen looked at him with a strange expression.

Staring at Jiang Chen's eyes seriously, Pujin continued.

"This is what we cooperate with, and we hope you will be their opponents."

The house fell into silence again.

This time it was Jiang Chen who broke the silence.

"We are their opponents? We are a company, and we don't do anything that has no benefits." Jiang Chen said with a smile, leaning back on the sofa.

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Pujin also smiled.

Although he did not receive a positive answer immediately, since Jiang Chen did not refuse directly, it means that there is still room for discussion on this matter.

"Please rest assured that this is. You are a new country enterprise, and we do not expect you to provide assistance to our allies free of charge. All the mercenaries' supply consumption is converted into rubles and we bear it. In addition, we will pay you 100 billion rubles in two batches of employment."

100 billion rubles, equivalent to 1.7 billion SGD. This is no longer a small number for Russia, which is tight in fiscal budgets. However, a mere SGD. It is obviously not enough to satisfy Jiang Chen's appetite. Compared to banknotes, he has something more interested in.

"One trillion rubles, a military base."

When they heard Jiang Chen's request, Pukin and Nikolayev frowned. Although they urgently hoped that the Star Ring Trade could intervene in the Ukrainian crisis and reverse the decline of pro-Russian civilian armed forces, this did not mean that they would sacrifice their interests for the Donetsks.

He exchanged his opinions with Nikolayev, and Pukin pointed his fingers on the armrest of the sofa and said word by word.

"Russia will not open military bases to any country or private institutions, and the employment costs can be appropriately increased, but we cannot accept this condition."

"You misunderstood," Jiang Chen waved his hand and explained that the military base would certainly not be built in Russia. Since it was a war with the Ukrainian government forces, it was naturally built in Donitsk."

Nikolayev breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Pukin. The Russian side was not unacceptable to this condition.

"If it's Donetsk, it's okay. We will help you negotiate with them." Putin nodded, "Is there anything else?"

"It's gone, I wish us a happy cooperation." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Without any legal documents, such a shameful contract is naturally impossible to be on paper. The actual employer of Star Ring Trade will be a local chocolate company in Donetsk. As for the source of funds, it is exactly the same as that of the Ukrainian government forces, and it also comes from shell companies registered in Russia or overseas.

A world map was spread out on the table, and the bearded general pointed his finger along the map and clicked on the location of Vladivostok, a Russian Far East city.

"Your people can land in Vladivostok. We will provide a railway transportation route from Vladivostok, through the Siberian region, to the Russian-Ukrainian border. This line will serve as your supply line, and all costs will be borne by us. If the situation is optimistic, you should be able to complete the deployment of two brigades at the border in mid-May..."

"No need." Jiang Chen shook his head, "This is too slow."

"No need?" Nikolayev was stunned.

Pujin's eyebrows raised slightly, revealing an interesting look.

Go from here." Jiang Chen's finger pointed at the corner of the Western Pacific Ocean on the map, where the equatorial line passed.

He leaned forward and looked at Jiang Chen's finger, and Nikolayev's pupils suddenly contracted.

There are no markers there, but he is not unfamiliar with the longitude and longitude.

There is a space elevator, a man-made miracle of the Star Ring Trade. (To be continued.)
