Chapter 487: Face the Reality! (3rd Update!)

The Persian Gulf was blocked. As soon as the news spread, people all over the world were shocked.

The Black Sea grain channel was blocked, and the unlucky ones were only the countries with low grain self-sufficiency rates. In the gap of food shortage, those international food suppliers would try every means to raise food prices to grab more profits.

The Suez Canal was blocked, and the unlucky ones were the merchants doing business in Europe, the Indian Ocean and Asia.

For them, the increase in part of the transportation costs out of thin air is no different from asking for their lives.

But if you grit your teeth, you can still bear it.

After all, these transportation costs will eventually be transferred to consumers. Consumers are God. God needs tolerance, so let's tolerate the transportation costs together.

But the Persian Gulf was blocked, and the unlucky ones were people all over the world.

Because what was blocked here was oil!

It is the blood needed for the development of the new era, and it is something that is consumed all the time. A country cannot avoid fresh blood as long as it wants to develop.

Factories need it, transportation tools need it, and everywhere needs it!

…………

Moscow.

The alarm clock rang, and Lin Yu, who was sitting in front of the computer, stretched and looked at the time on the wall.

It was 11:30 noon, time for lunch.

If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your mind.

After tidying up the documents on the table and locking the door of the vacated office, he staggered towards the cafeteria.

As soon as he arrived at the cafeteria, he found that Cui Lin was faster than him and was already eating with a plate next to him.

He grabbed a clean plate from the disinfection cabinet, filled it with food, and then he came to Cui Lin with the plate, sat down, and said while eating:

"Uncle Cui, you are very fast today, is there any new situation?"

On the opposite side, Cui Lin heard this question, slowly raised his head, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then answered:

"It's all ordinary news, I will synchronize with you later."

"I also want to ask if you have any special news."

Hearing this, Lin Yu shook his head helplessly, lowered his head and continued to eat.

This is Russia.

It's like a sieve. The oligarchs in the communications, banking, and mining industries are all pro-American and pro-European Russia.

It's different here than in China. If you want to keep it completely secret, you can only communicate with the outside world through the embassy's dedicated phone.

Using emails, satellite phones, and ordinary mobile phones may be eavesdropped.

So, during this period of time, I was basically in an information desert.

If I want to get first-hand, accurate information, I can only pass it through the embassy.

The feeling of intelligence information being out of my control is very troublesome. I really want to return to China as soon as possible, back to where I am like a fish in water.

But...

Russia has not responded yet.

This time, I must get a positive answer before I can complete the mission and go back.

It hurts.

** Maozi.

The chef was brought from China, and his cooking skills are not bad. Lin Yu ate three bowls of food with tears in his eyes, and rolled his eyes. Then he followed Cui Lin back to a large office allocated for them by the embassy.

After walking in, locking the door, and drawing the curtains, Cui Lin took out the intelligence he had just received from the drawer and handed it to Lin Yu.

【At noon and afternoon on March 22, two cargo ships ran aground at both ends of the Suez Canal. The cause of the grounding is unknown, but according to relevant people's estimates.

It will take about a month to clear the canal.

At present, Egypt has dispatched personnel to start cleaning and rescue on both sides of the river.

According to relevant information, each ship is equipped with a rescue team of about 300 people.

However, according to on-site news, the two rescue teams, totaling about 600 people, will leave to drink after the scene every day.

This behavior has once again caused Muslim believers in surrounding countries to condemn these people and the progress has been delayed again. 】

【At noon on March 23, about 500 French foreign mercenaries entered Turkey through Turkey's official formal procedures, with the aim of maintaining the safety of the Dardanelles.

Two hours after this news was confirmed, the CSTO member states almost simultaneously announced that they would send combat teams into Turkey to maintain the security of Turkey and its territory. 】

【On the afternoon of March 23, Iran announced that because the food it purchased was blocked in the Black Sea, out of the need for the safety of its citizens, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard blocked the Persian Gulf.

All tankers passing through here must pay a protection fee, otherwise they are not allowed to leave.

And the corresponding charging standards are posted, and the price to Europe is the highest. 】

【On the evening of March 23, the Central Theater Command of America issued a warning that if Turkey continues to implement cruel policies against the Kurds and uses massacres to suppress the Kurds' pursuit of freedom and democracy, then America will intervene.

Guarantee everyone's right to pursue freedom and democracy! 】

【On the evening of March 23, the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture issued a tender announcement for 300,000 tons of edible rice.

However, this tender announcement was removed by the staff within less than 30 minutes of being released, and the specific reason is unknown. 】

【In the early morning of March 24, the Venezuelan National Resources Bureau announced that in response to the European and American call for carbon emission reduction initiatives, it decided to transform domestic oil field facilities to a certain extent.

The overall time will last for ten years, and it is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 100 million tons.

But correspondingly, related oil production will further decrease and prices will increase slightly. 】

[In the early morning of March 24, South Korea’s Ministry of Food issued a bidding announcement, publicly seeking 200,000 tons of feed barley and 200,000 tons of edible rice. 】

[In the early morning of March 24, the Lebanese Milk Tea Party announced that it would continue to attack Israel in the next month, with the purpose of keeping Israel vigilant.

In this announcement, Lebanese officials also announced some methods of attack.

Including but not limited to rocket strikes, sniper assassinations, and self-exploding bombs.

And on the day the announcement was issued, Lebanon fired more than 20 rockets at military camps along Israel's northern border.

According to videos and photos released by the Milk Tea Party, the target military camp was bombed to the point of being turned upside down.

In response, Israel's official spokesperson expressed silence. 】

[On the morning of March 24, the Turkish Navy and the USS Mount Whitney, the flagship of America's Sixth Fleet, amphibious command ship and the Turkish Navy faced off in the Aegean Sea. The closest distance between the two sides was less than 1 nautical mile. 】

[On the morning of March 24, the four major ABCD grain merchants simultaneously announced an increase in wheat and barley prices, and also issued an invitation to Vietnam to purchase rice. 】

It took Lin Yu more than half an hour to finish reading the information in his hand.

To be honest, apart from the information related to Turkey and Russia, the rest of the information has no impact on him.

However, there are things you can do with this information.

After he finished reading the information, Cui Lin conveniently collected the information, put it aside and asked:

"When do you think Russia will give a reply?"

"Probably these two days!" After naming an ambiguous time, Lin Yu turned towards the window, stood behind the curtain, and secretly observed the world outside the window.

This is the embassy district.

It can be regarded as a good place in Moscow apart from those top neighborhoods.

If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be safe, safe, or TMD safe.

But even in such a safe place, there were many more police officers on the streets maintaining law and order than in the previous two days.

Except for the police who maintain law and order, the only people passing by are in a hurry, coming and going in a hurry.

It's like there's something here to kill you.

After watching for a while, Lin Yu lowered the curtains, turned back to Cui Lin and said, "I hope a war won't really break out!"

Facing Lin Yu's beautiful vision, Cui Lin nodded in silence, but quickly shook his head and said:

"The outbreak of war does not depend on our attitude. What should come will eventually come. What we can do is to add weight to ourselves."

After saying this, Cui Lin sat back at his desk and continued to study the information in front of him.

Lin Yu looked at the window for a while, then turned and walked out of the room, returning to his office.

Lie down on the chair and start sleeping.

He fell asleep leisurely, Moscow Administrative District.

In the Russian Combat Staff, a group of officers could not sleep, or dared not sleep.

"Everyone, after intelligence compilation and analysis, it is now basically confirmed that America's special actions in Turkey this time came from their president. According to the intelligence of relevant personnel, their president wanted to have a trinity. Change."

"Trinity? What do you mean?"

"This is the president who wants to seize all the separation of powers in America and become a dictatorial ruler."

"Holy shit, is he fucking crazy?"

"It's me, I have to go crazy, and I have to try. That's America. If I become America's sole person in power, the benefits I'll get...can't be described in words at all."

"This...in other words, America's president is probably determined to attack Türkiye, right?"

"Yes, compared to our interests and the interests of ordinary people in America, their president's desire for the Trinity is greater."

"Not necessarily. We are just analyzing it based on this situation. Moreover, this is an election year, and America's Democratic Party will also take action. The Democratic Party has also obtained this information, but we don't know what actions they will take."

"We don't care whether they take action or not, we ourselves must take action to pull ourselves out of this quagmire."

"To put it lightly, tell me what to do first. What should we do to pull ourselves out of the quagmire?"

This question confused the person who made the suggestion at the beginning. After a moment of confusion, the person shook his head and said:

"There is no way. For now, there is no benefit at all for us to face America. But the problem is that others have already reached the end. We can't continue to be ostriches. We are now alone and we must find a way to survive. Please help me to prevent this chaos from happening in our country.”

"The biggest problem is the people in our country. When we faced America, those people might stab us in the back. Now they have run away a lot. Now that these people have run away, I feel a lot more relaxed."

As soon as these words came out, several people present lowered their heads and looked at the sand table in front of them in a tacit understanding. No one spoke, just silence.

What this person said just now, everyone present knew what he meant, and they also knew who the person was referring to.

However, they didn't really want to talk.

Because those oligarchs, those oligarchs who used various information to leave Russia, would consciously send them a tribute every year.

There was a lot of money, but it was not enough.

So more was needed.

After a while, everyone became very familiar with each other, as familiar as brothers.

But they never expected that these brothers, who were as close as brothers, would run away directly. Although they found all kinds of strange reasons, they still could not change the fact that they had already run away.

In silence, the person sitting in the main seat interrupted their silence:

"Everyone, now that the situation is clear, let's vote now."

"Vote with your feet."

"Raise your hands if you agree to cooperate with the Chinese people."

As soon as the voice fell, the people present raised their right hands one after another, almost without hesitation.

Seeing these raised right hands, the people in the main seat showed a look of relief.

There are no eternal teammates in this world, only eternal interests. Now that everyone has the same interests, it is necessary to operate well.

After everyone had voted, the person in the main seat called a staff member and gave him the relevant tasks.

At sunset, the Ministry of Defense finally rushed out a complete report, a report on the future development of the international situation.

Afterwards, the report was sent to the Presidential Palace. The president reviewed it in a short time, just over ten minutes, and the report was sent out.

Together with another document, it was sent to Makarov.

After receiving the report, Makarov did not study it carefully, but turned directly to the end of the report. Seeing the familiar signature at the end of the report, he was completely relieved.

Holding the documents in both hands and lying on the chair for a long time, Makarov picked up the phone on the table and dialed a few numbers.

In the half hour after the phone was hung up, the people who received his call arrived one after another, and then Makarov handed the documents from the Presidential Palace to everyone.

After these people finished reading the document, he put his hands behind his back and said proudly:

"Now that Mr. President has agreed to the relevant cooperation, what we can do now is to find the Chinese delegation and continue the negotiations."

"But before that, I need you to keep one thing in mind, that is, we are equals on the Chinese side, and everyone should be careful when speaking and doing things."

"I won't say anything extra, so as not to bother you. I will start arranging tasks next."

"Andre, according to my estimate, the next negotiation process will be carried out in about three days."

"I need you to let your daughter contact the young man named Lin Yu and talk about some private conditions."

"Don't look at me, I don't have a daughter or a niece, otherwise it won't be your turn."

After Andre, Makarov raised his right hand and shouted to everyone:

"This time we can only succeed, not fail! Hurrah!"
