834 First Strike Advantage (2/2)

Following this, Hua and Russia stated that they recognized the transitional government of Country F and urged the transitional government to stabilize the situation, and re-elect at an early date to restore peace and stability...

Before the UN's meeting on the establishment of the transitional government of Country F, Jiang Chen not only complete the formation of the transitional government in advance but also brought two permanent members to his side. Then even if Western countries tried to make a fuss through the United Nations and request the reorganization of the transitional government of Country F, Jiang Chen, at least, had two votes against it.

As for the protests in Country F...

Frankly speaking, Jiang Chen did not care how they protested. Even if they complained before the international media and shaped themselves as victims, they could not change the fact that they were aggressors.

What's more, they protested from the day they were defeated. The demonstration did not stop for a single moment. The entire nation was under the military control of Moro, and the intense protesting didn't create any obstacles.

As for the establishment of gendarmerie to take over the security of the nation, it was a move mainly to fix the mess. It would be impossible for Moro to keep such a large-scale garrison in Country F. Not to mention the UA would not agree, Moro's own finances could not afford it.

These troops cost a lot of money to be in foreign countries even just for a second. Celestial Trade already began to withdraw its troops, and only retained two military bases in City M and a brigade.

...

The Hilton Hotel near the Presidential Palace was purchased by Jiang Chen from the sale of the Hilton Group, which sold off its assets in Country F, for a minimal price of 20 million US Dollar. It had been transformed into office space for Celestial Trade in the country.

In addition to more than a dozen diplomats, there were also two hundred fully armed soldiers stationed there, as well as special commissioners dispatched by Moro. Jiang Chen still had some things to take care, so he temporarily resided there.

Two days ago he lived in the Presidential Palace, but now the Sea Lions Special Forces have returned it to the transitional government.

”...The UN peacekeeping forces have arrived on Leyte Island. Today, at noon, our soldiers have withdrawn from the suburbs of Tacloban.” In the holographic screen, Ivan reported the situation to him.

”Very well, the United Nations has finally taken over the mess.” Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair, lifted Ayesha's brewed coffee, took a sip and smiled. ”How many people came?”

”A thousand people.”

Jiang Chen nodded, taking into account the population of the survivors of Tacloban, it was the figure he estimated.

Ivan seemed to be somewhat reserved, but he finally decided to say.

”Is it really okay to allow the United Nations to control Leyte Island?”

”Why not?” Jiang Chen laughed. ”Now the entire island is a mess. If we don't throw it at the United Nations, we would have to let our people take on the risk and repair the grid for Country F that is filled in radiation. City M is enough. Don't bite off more than we can chew.”

”No, I mean, if the investigation is fully handed over to the United Nations, will the Freemasonry use its influence in the International Tribunal to make unfair decisions on the investigation results...”

Jiang Chen shook his head. ”Following the procedure, from the investigation to evidence collection to the court hearing, when do you think the verdict result will come out?”

Then, Jiang Chen put the coffee cup back on the table and raised three fingers.

”Three years and the fastest will be three years. The more important the matter, the more complex the investigation and evidence collection process. We already have the advantage in public opinion. The international community already has a preconceived notion of this event. If they intend to change the verdict, then they must drag the investigation and evidence collection process on for as long as possible to add more uncertainties!”

”Then—” Ivan opened his mouth but was soon interrupted.

”Then, the question is.” Looking at his subordinate with confidence, Jiang Chen crossed his fingers on the table and said with certainty. ”Will they still last for that long?”
