Chen Chen eventually participated in the conversation between Jiya and Xiaoyu, but he was only responsible for the transaction part, and he did not intend to participate in any subsequent real "intelligence handover".

The information was given directly to Xiaoyu. The Dongfeng Corps did not see, listen or know. It was only responsible for providing support to Jiya in accordance with Xiaoyu's requirements.

This is the safest method, but it is also relatively conservative.

Xiaoyu looked a little surprised at Chen Chen's choice.

Because in her opinion, Chen Chen still has a high demand for intelligence and technology. If he doesn't know anything, it is also a risk for him.

But in fact, Chen Chen didn't need to use Jiya to understand that information at all.

In the previous life, all the information in Jiya's hands had already been uncovered.

Therefore, he simply gave Xiaoyu an explanation that was beyond doubt:

It's not that I don't want to know, it's just that the time isn't there yet.

When he comes back from Syria and needs to be prepared in this regard, he will naturally ask Xiaoyu.

In this way, Chen Chen's "abnormality" in Xiaoyu's eyes turned into "sensible", and quietly, Chen Chen gained a good impression from Xiaoyu again.

Seeing Xiaoyu's satisfied expression, Chen Chen couldn't help but feel ashamed.

You deserve to die for playing tricks on your own comrades.

But all joking aside, this is the best option for many parties.

After everything was settled, Jiya delivered the first batch of information to Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu also gave her a new identity through the operation of various resources.

The identity of Pubei, the identity of Kachin and Myitkyina.

The newly acquired territory was immediately put to use, and Jiya was quite satisfied with it.

After the arrangement was implemented, she also promised Xiaoyu that she would deliver the second batch of information within the next three months.

At the same time, she also promised that she and the organization behind her would never leak anything to the outside world before Xiaoyu used the information to achieve its goals.

——

Both Xiaoyu and Chen Chen were skeptical about this.

But at least the north does have the upper hand now.

At the end of the day, the three parties could barely be considered a "host and guest having fun". After sending Xiaoyu away, Jiya completely relaxed.

Looking at Chen Chen opposite, she said with a warm smile:

"It seems that you are going to be my bodyguard for a while again."

"How's it going? Do you feel like you're back to where you started?"

“Back to square one, indeed.”

Chen Chen nodded and continued:

"I will arrange for jackals to take care of you - or make it clear that you will continue to be under house arrest until a clear signal is received."

“You have limited freedom until the dust settles.”

"This is for your safety and ours, I hope you understand."

After the words fell, Jiya's smile immediately solidified.

"Jackals are Thai, right?"

"You want to hand me over to the Thais again?"

Chen Chen chuckled and replied:

"He doesn't think so. He has already started reading the collected works of Lu Xun."

".Shipwreck, I have to admit, we are evenly matched when it comes to finding allies."

Jiya sighed softly and continued to ask:

"So where will I be under house arrest? Monkha? Or Myitkyina?"

"Mengka. But don't worry, the conditions in Mengka are much better now than before."

At this point, Chen Chen did not lie.

With the "recovery" of Xiaomengla and the opening of the Tachileik-Jingdong artery that had been paved the way, the economic activities of the entire Pubei instantly experienced a qualitative leap.

In the past, money that could not be spent even if you wanted to, or money that required more effort to spend, now has a new direction.

A very typical example is that a group of warlords, including He Bupa and He Bangxiong, are no longer keen on collecting various cash equivalents and luxury goods. Instead, they have begun to invest their funds in more and more complex ordinary consumption. grade product.

Electronic equipment, entertainment equipment, sports and fitness equipment, richer catering services, cheaper daily necessities and daily necessities.

Just a month ago, Mengka even finally opened its first home supermarket, its first large-scale fruit trading market, and its first shopping mall.

Pubei has been quietly changing, but such changes are "natural", so they have not attracted much attention.

Seeing Chen Chen's somewhat complacent expression, Jiya nodded with emotion.

"In two and a half years, you have really changed this place."

"In a way, you're a hero."

"Or to use your terminology, you are a hero."

"Wreck, do you remember? When I first met you, you were called Shura."

"At that time, everyone believed that you would only bring new and more bloody disasters to this land."

"Everyone foresees such a disaster, but no one can stop you"

"Sink Ship, do people still call you Shura now?"

"Too much."

Chen Chen smiled slightly sarcastically and continued:

"However, the person who calls me Shura now is no longer from Pubei."

"It's you fast-moving Western journalists, and of course the brainless people in the Western context."

Chen Chen's words made Jiya slightly embarrassed. She coughed subconsciously and then said:

“It’s not that everyone is brainless, it’s just that they can only see what the government wants them to see.”

"Freedom of speech is actually a joke. I don't think you are clear about this."

"certainly."

Chen Chen didn't want to discuss this topic with her too much, so he stood up and said to Jiya:

"Let's go, Jackal should have arranged your accommodation."

"Let's go take a look together."

"no problem."

Jiya followed Chen Chen obediently and walked out of the villa. The two got into the ready-to-go Warrior vehicle and then drove to the Dongfeng Corps camp on the outskirts of the city.

After getting out of the car, Jiya was completely stunned by what she saw.

There are well-dressed soldiers being trained, rows of armored vehicles and tanks, carefully planned barracks and various facilities, a small airport, and 3 helicopters of different types on the airport.

"You build an army."

Jiya turned to Chen Chen and said sincerely:

"Your strength far exceeds my imagination. I thought at first that you relied on various mediation methods to subdue other warlords, but now it seems that you have defeated them."

"There's nothing surprising about that. This is what a mercenary should do."

Chen Chen nodded noncommittally and took Jiya directly to Jackal's temporary office in the camp.

When the two met, the expressions on their faces were a bit complicated, but based on their "professionalism", Jackal quickly arranged everything and sent Jiya directly to her residence.

After he left, Jackal approached Chen Chen and asked curiously and sadly:

"Why don't you kill her? Do you need me to help you?"

"Don't think about it, I have a life-saving charm."

"besides?!"

Jackal asked in disbelief with his eyes widened in astonishment.

He couldn't figure out how this ordinary "reporter" could hide so many trump cards.

Time and time again, they escape from certain fatal situations, and time and time again, they use "unpleasant" ways to achieve cooperation.

You can't fault her because she really didn't harm you.

However, you cannot be comfortable because you know that she is indeed harmful to your ability and even harmful to your motivation.

Seeing Jackal's reaction that was exactly the same as his own, Chen Chen couldn't laugh or cry.

"This is not a topic I can discuss with you, and it is not something you should ask, so you better stop asking."

"All right."

The jackal shrugged, then frowned and murmured:

"Why do I feel like this conversation happened somewhere? Forget it."

"When are you going to Syria? What assistance do you need from me?"

“Does Chaisri have a foothold in Syria?”

"have."

"have?!"

Hearing Jackal's answer, Chen Chen's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

His original intention was to take the opportunity to laugh at Jackal, but he didn't expect that he could really help?

"How come you have a foothold in Syria?!"

".It's just an office, and there are two people in it."

"They're in charge of, how do I put it? PR."

“Essentially, we just threw two people in there and showed up in front of customers from time to time to tell them that our company exists.”

"And, to facilitate public relations, one of them is a woman."

"Then you'd better stop getting involved and don't throw oil bottles at me."

Chen Chen decisively rejected Jackal's kindness. Jackal waved his hand indifferently and replied:

"It's just a suggestion. In fact, we can't help much."

"But if the situation there is still stable after you go there, you can try to make contact."

"They can still solve some problems in life for you."

"For example, Ramadan is coming soon, and if you have difficulty purchasing some supplies such as food and water, you can try to contact them."

"Of course, cigarettes and alcohol - you may not need them, but maybe your players will."

"I see."

Chen Chen nodded slightly and agreed.

In fact, Xiaoyu would naturally be prepared for these things mentioned by Jackal in advance, but since Jackal said it, he would not reject it inhumanely.

After all, it was the Jackal's good intentions.

Under limited conditions, he indeed devoted all his efforts to assist the Dongfeng Corps.

Of course he gained benefits from it, but sometimes the benefits and friendship were not so openly divided.

The two of them walked out of the office and took a casual walk in the barracks. Looking at the camp that had begun to take shape, the two of them were very moved.

Before the final parting, the Jackal asked one last question.

"How many people will you take with you to Syria this time?"

"The first batch of 12 people."

Chen Chen did not hide anything and replied:

"We don't know the specific nature of this mission yet. We only know that it is mainly for security."

"However, you should be able to guess without me telling you that our mission will inevitably involve evacuation and the rescue of important personnel."

“So it’s not okay if there are too many people, but it’s even worse if there are too few people.”

"I estimate that the scale of this mission should be more than 50 people. After the first batch arrives, the second batch of personnel will be arranged to fly over immediately."

"Most of our equipment will follow the second group of personnel."

"Because at that time, it should be already there."

Before Chen Chen finished speaking, Jackal nodded solemnly and continued:

"I understand that equipment transportation can only be easily operated after the war officially begins."

"However, you should pay attention to your safety."

"Syria is not Pubei, let alone Indonesia."

"Judging from all aspects of intelligence, it will be a serious battlefield there."

"Moreover, it is a battlefield of modern warfare."

"You're going to be up against all kinds of regulars - and I'm talking about real regulars."

"Don't think about confronting them head-on. It's impossible for you to fight against them anyway."

"Especially when there is no team, even more important"

"Okay, okay."

Chen Chen interrupted Jackal's words and said a little helplessly:

"Why are you acting like an old woman? How can I still not know how to play?"

".I'm just afraid that you don't know."

Jackal sighed and continued:

"You are my beloved relative, friend, and brother."

"If something happens to you when you leave, I won't have much hope for the rest of my life."

"Shut up!"

Chen Chen snorted and interrupted Jackal's resentful woman's speech.

Jackal coughed and swallowed what he had not yet said.

After briefly explaining the details about Jiya's house arrest, Chen Chen got in the car and left the camp.

Behind him, Jackal's eyes changed several times.

But in the end, he turned around and walked back to the camp.

He probably also knows that there are indeed many things in the Dongfeng Corps that he cannot get involved in.

What should be crossed must be crossed. He is like a spectator standing in front of the blackjack table and placing a side bet. No matter which direction the next gambling game develops, he cannot influence it.

He could only hope that this matter would end as soon as possible.

And the fact was just as he expected.

Two hours after Chen Chen returned to the Dongfeng Corps villa, he received a call from Xiaoyu.

From Xiaoyu, he got an extremely crucial piece of information.

The United States is very likely to pass a resolution on setting up a no-fly zone in Syria at the United Nations conference in the next week.

This also means that the United States has finally made up its mind to push the situation in Syria one step forward.

Now, this intention has not been exposed, but before they make a decision, the Dongfeng Corps only has one week to complete the deployment and arrive in Syria.

"Everything has been arranged and you will go to Syria as corporate employees."

"You only have three days to prepare. After three days, you have to fly to Istanbul and then transit from Turkey to Syria."

"be prepared."

"This mission is very simple, but also very complex."

"I'll meet you tonight, wait for me!"

With a snap, Xiaoyu hung up the phone.

Chen Chen didn't think about what "see you in the evening" meant. There was only one thing in his mind:

During this trip to Syria, the area where the Dongfeng Corps operates will probably be a real "no man's land."
