Chapter 1434 - Once And For All (1/2)

Jiang Chen noticed Wu Changfeng used “you guys” instead of “you”.

Obviously, he didn’t want to ask about his personal opinion.

“Can you be more specific?” One corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth was curved up as he said in a relaxed tone, “Your question is very general.”

“Then I’ll be direct. If Joseph Kennedy is president-elect, what are you going to do?” Wu Changfeng asked Jiang Chen while he fixated his gaze into Jiang Chen’s eyes.

“We will be very happy,” Jiang Chen laughed, as he slightly raised the cup in his hand and pretended to make a toast. “This is the best scenario for us. The UA takes the initiative to join the Earth Defense Alliance, give up its hegemony and embrace the future. The Iron Curtain of the Pacific Ocean unwinds down before it unfolded, and all mankind will work together towards a beautiful new world…

“Ahem.” Wu Changfeng gentle cough interrupted Jiang Chen’s nonsense, then he asked, “Then what if Trump becomes the president?”

“Trump is an unstable factor,” after he put the teacup on the table, he didn’t go on about his nonsense this time and instead concisely explained, “Based on his choice, we will react accordingly.”

“Including war?” Wu Changfeng asked.

“Are you scared?” Jiang Chen smiled.

Wu Changfeng was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed.

“Not at all! It’s just that we are still a little worried. At the time of the Colombian Civil War, there were signs of escalating tensions. Fortunately, you both stepped on the brake in time. If it ended up escalating…”

“If it is the time when we have to make the worst choice,” Jiang Chen smiled at Wu Changfeng’s probing gaze, and said nonchalantly, “I can guarantee that before the situation becomes uncontrollable, everything will be over.”

They both tacitly agreed to end the topic on this note. In the conversation after, they did not discuss international affairs and just chatted about SS Origin at the Kuiper Belt and the next development plan of the Earth Defense Alliance.

Wu Changfeng declined the invitation to stay for dinner, got up and bid farewell to Jiang Chen, and left the mansion.

Before he got on the car parked at the entrance, he looked back at the mansion with mixed feelings.

“Before the situation becomes uncontrollable, everything will be over? Huh, so confident…” Wu Changfeng smiled, muttered to himself and shook his head, the strong alert in his mind still lingered. At this moment, he was looking at this issue as a major general in the Hua Army.

If Jiang Chen was bluffing, it would be fine.

But if the nonchalant attitude was not deliberately faked, then the strength of Celestial Trade would be terrifying.

After all, it was the UA they were discussing about.

It was neither Country F nor Colombia nor the anti-government armed forces in Syria and Ukraine.

So far, the engagement between Celestial Trade and the UA had been limited to small-scale encounters in local conflicts. Even in the most intense collision on the battlefield in Colombia, the UA only sent only a Marine expeditionary brigade.

The war between great powers was not a simple science and technology competition. Xin’s strategic depth was no more than a hundred square kilometers deep, where did he gain his confidence?

Until he returned to the hotel he was staying at, Wu Changfeng still couldn’t think through the confusion in his mind. In the end, he had to attribute the answer to that Celestial Trade still possessed power hidden to outsiders. After all, no matter what, he couldn’t believe that the man pretended to be nonchalant…

At the window of the office, Jiang Chen watched the car that disappeared at the end of the road, then he suddenly said.

“Ayesha.”
