Chapter 1329: They Are Not Here To Compete

“Compared with these minor details, I’m more concerned about the election.” Jiang Chen retracted the holographic screen, smiled and said casually, “After all, we put a lot of chips on Joseph.”

“Not particularly optimistic,” Ayesha shook her head and whispered softly, “The situation in South America is heating up, and there has been a large influx of Colombian refugees into the UA. It is inevitable that the support rate of the war hawks will rise. What’s more, it just happened to be at the time when there are tensions in the relationship between the UA and Xin...”

Jiang Chen nodded but remained silent.

He did not consider the refugee effect brought about by the war, and the UA was undoubtedly the first choice in the hearts of the Colombian people, followed by Canada. The influx of refugees would inevitably bring poverty and crime to the UA and cause a series of social problems. Now, it was also the critical moment of the election campaign. These problems would definitely impact on the election.

It did appear that Mr. Kennedy’s opponent seemed to be a big proponent for anti-refugees.

One of his campaign promises was to build a Great Wall along the border...

...

A meeting was taking place in the in the top military office in the UA.

Not only high-level officials from the Ministry of Defense, but the president and his advisors and cabinet ministers were also present.

It was quite interesting since just three days ago, the same people in the conference room had just met at the president’s office. Now in a different place, another meeting was being held. Although the topics discussed were different, there was no change in the objectives of the discussion.

A meeting manuscript was placed in front of everyone, and there was also a brochure next to it, with words “2020 Xin International Defense Expo” written on it.

This brochure was designed by Future Military and was distributed by Xin’s National Defense Department through its embassies. However, the photocopied version placed in front of everyone was obtained by the CIB from an invited country.

If it were any other country’s defense exhibition, it would not trigger a reaction this scale to have an emergency meeting.

The key issue was the kind of weapons that certain country planned to sell at this defense exhibition...

“...Future Military intends to sell EMP weapons and kinetic skeletons to the member states of the Earth Defense Alliance.” Secretary of Defense Carter looked around the colleagues around him and said with a solemn expression, “Although it is currently uncertain what version of the weapon they are intending to sell, we still have to put heavy emphasis. I believe you all know what it means to us once EMP weapons proliferate.”

The senior officials of the Department of Defense and the ministers looked at each other in shock. It was obvious that they had already felt the concern in Carter’s words.

After the military advisor hesitated for a moment, he requested to speak and said while he spun the pen in his hands.

“Conversely, does this mean that we also have the opportunity to obtain their EMP weapons? Our technical bottleneck in the development of EMP weapons has not made any effective progress. If we can find a way to buy some from them...”

“Impossible,” Carter shook his head and smiled wryly, “Not a single military-industrial complex company has been invited, and our purchasing department is obviously not on their invitation list.”

Not just the UA, no NATO member states had been invited. The 47 invited countries were all members of the Earth Defense Alliance.

In a sense, the behavior of Xin had indeed confirmed the UA’s speculation.

Celestial Trade was not satisfied with the Earth Defense Alliance being only an organization with the purpose to defend against extraterrestrial civilizations. First, it used the space elevator and the global grid to kidnap the economies of the member states, and now it was beginning to strengthen the military cooperation between member states.

They were uncertainty whether their goal was to become the second United Nations, NATO, or a combination of the two. However, they were strongly alerted by the series of actions taken by Celestial Trade

“The Olympic Games will be held in Yoto soon,” President Hill, who had been silent, suddenly broke the silence on the meeting table, “I will go to Yoto to attend the opening ceremony. I will talk this opportunity and speak with that man in person.”

...

The war that took place thousands of kilometers away did not affect the prosperity of Coro Island. Only foreign soldiers participated in the war with no Xin national soldiers involved.

It was just that the impact of the war, after all, was blown onto the beaches of Xin with monsoon. Everyone was discussing whether there was going to be a war, and whether Xin would send a volunteer army like Moro. In addition, how would NATO react?

After all, the Colombian authorities had detained the delegation of Xin under the direction of the CIB to blame Juan’s death on Xin. It was the FARC who rescued the delegation and sent them to the border of Ecuador.

At least the mainstream media in Xin reported it this way.

Whether it was public opinion or official message, they all sided with and supported FARC. Even the call to send troops to Colombia was gaining an increasing amount of support on Celestial Trade’s official site.

The people of Xin were not really concerned over the war. It was because it seemed that Celestial Trade’s overseas military operations had never lost, and the aftereffects of the war had never been brought back to Xin. Only those immigrants from the UA or Europe still had mixed feelings about the international war operations.

One side was their homeland, and the other was the country they now live in. Apart from calling for peace, there seemed to be no better choice for them.

Time quickly arrived in August.

The Yoto Olympics was about to begin, and the athletes of Xin had arrived in the Yoto training grounds in mid-July for a week of adaptive training.

Because Xin was sending athletes to participate in the Olympics for first time, the country attached great importance to this event, and both the government and the people had shown considerable enthusiasm.

About two years ago, when the crisis took place in Yoto, people all over the world were not optimistic that the country could walk out from the shadow of the T virus. The real estate price of Yoto plummeted to an extreme, and it was also at that time that Jiang Chen took advantage of the fact that Future Biology had yet to disclose the vaccine, and went on a purchase spree in the Yoto real estate market.

In order to support Xin’s sports, Jiang Chen specially called the agent who helped him manage his real estate in Yoto and offered a five-star hotel not far from the Olympic Village under his name. Xin’s athletes could live for free.

Living outside the Olympic Village during the Olympic Games was generally the privilege of big-name athletes. For example, the Dream Team, which competed for the first time in 1992, has never lived in the Olympic Village. However, it was the first time in the history of Olympic Games that more than 200 athletes and more than 100 coaches, team leaders, and medical personnel lived in an entire five-star hotel.

Even Saudi Arabia had never flaunted wealth like this

Future Group President’s moves successfully shocked all the netizens in the world. While people lamented the luck of the athletes from Xin, they couldn’t help but exclaim at the wealth of this president.

It got to the point where an athlete from another country, who did not want their name to be disclosed, said bitterly in an interview with the media.

“They are not here to compete at all, they are here to show off their wealth...”
