Early the next morning.
Jiang Cheng climbed out of bed, got dressed, and then turned back to glance at the bed, where Monica and Tina lay, unclothed, with an expression of helplessness on his face.
These two little vixens nearly took his life last night. Perhaps it had been a long ti since they had been together; the two of them never seed to have enough, clinging to Jiang Cheng from dusk until the early hours, before finally falling into a deep sleep.
Jiang Cheng let out a bitter smile and then slowly walked out of the villa, clutching his waist.
After resting here for a few days, it was ti to get back into work mode, especially since after the last naval battle, there was a pile of matters waiting for Jiang Cheng to handle. He had to fulfill his obligations as the Island Master.
...
Nanyao Island.
Central Command and Operations Center.
In the spacious hall, Jiang Cheng sat upright on a chair, listening to a briefing from the head of the intelligence departnt.
"Commander, our fleet has been circling Jeju Island for three days. Should we return now?"
The intelligence officer looked at Jiang Cheng with a hint of urgency, seeking his direction.
As the head of intelligence on Jade Island, he had gathered a lot of important information over the past few days and had long wanted to report to Jiang Cheng, but couldn’t find him at all. After going through various contacts, he finally found Jiang Cheng’s personal secretary, only to receive the reply "The Island Master is on vacation, no work discussions," which made him feel like an ant on a hot pan.
Fortunately, he finally saw Jiang Cheng early this morning, and thus hurriedly sought his instructions.
"Has sothing happened? Didn’t I say to keep the fleet stationed near Jeju Island to demonstrate to South Korea?"
Upon hearing the intelligence departnt head’s words, Jiang Cheng slightly furrowed his brow.
To him, South Korea had acted so aggressively that he was rely staying a few days in their waters, which was already being lenient to them. Without having fully warned them, how could they withdraw so quickly?
"It’s like this, Commander. According to our intelligence, the Taro Island military base of the United States seems to have so fleet movents!"
"What?"
Jiang Cheng was slightly taken aback, his face solemn, and then he asked, "What’s going on? They couldn’t just suddenly act, could they?"
"The South Korean defense minister made an unexpected visit to the United States the day before yesterday," the intelligence head explained to Jiang Cheng.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng understood.
It’s not hard to guess that seeing their ho base being humiliated as if it were a marketplace, South Korea had no choice but to seek help from their backer.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng could even imagine that to obtain support from the United States, this defense minister must have gotten Lee Jae-yong’s permission, selling out so political and economic interests in exchange for Arican military backing.
"Any moves from Samsung?" Jiang Cheng frowned and asked.
"Early this morning, Samsung Electronics held a press conference in Shou’Er, announcing that Samsung Company has agreed to Apple’s acquisition plan and will complete the acquisition soon."
The intelligence head then communicated another major piece of news to Jiang Cheng!
"Heh!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng burst into laughter, but his eyes were filled with coldness.
It really is interesting!
The forr world’s largest phone manufacturer and the second-largest are rging at this ti, clearly to jointly counter Jade Island’s soft phone.
Seeing the advent of the soft phone era, Apple must have realized that its good days were coming to an end. Coupled with Samsung’s heavy loss, they took advantage of this once-in-a-lifeti opportunity to directly swallow the Samsung Electronics that has always been on top of it.
With this rger, the two will inevitably form a powerful alliance, posing a threat to Jade Island’s soft phone brand, which is almost predictable.
It’s important to know that prior to this, both Samsung and Apple were unicorn-like giants in their respective fields of expertise, but due to certain technical dependencies, neither could swallow the other, limiting each other’s growth.
However, with Jade Island’s disruption, the two naturally reached a consensus of interests, uniting at this ti. This way, they will inevitably create a complentary synergy in both technological and operational aspects, achieving further enhancent.
This is definitely not good news for Jade Island.
Furthermore, Jiang Cheng even vaguely saw the political interests exchanged behind this rger.
The movent of the Taro Island military base is a good testant to this.
"Tell about the situation on Taro Island," Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes and hesitated for a mont before asking.
"The Taro Island military base is the United States’ largest naval base in the Pacific Ocean, where the U.S. Seventh Fleet is stationed. This is a very powerful fleet, most importantly, it has an ocean-going combat group composed of five aircraft carriers, capable of executing extinction missions at critical monts. Moreover, recently, the Taro Island military base seems to have redeployed so warships from other bases, and now it is..."
This intelligence head was extrely responsible, reporting the collected intelligence to Jiang Cheng word for word.
After listening to the report, Jiang Cheng furrowed his brow, falling into long contemplation.
To be honest, the movent of the Taro Island military base was unexpected to him. Of course, this was mainly due to Samsung’s compromise, willingly giving up Samsung Electronics to secure U.S. military support, which is definitely a case of cutting off a limb to save the body!
This caught Jiang Cheng off guard.
According to his original plan, he intended to destroy Samsung, eliminating this longstanding threat in one fell swoop. But unexpectedly, at the critical mont, the U.S. interfered.
To be honest, Jiang Cheng was not too afraid of the rger between Apple and Samsung Company in terms of technology; he has never feared anyone in that regard.
However, in the realm of military and politics, he found himself a bit apprehensive!
At present, Jiang Cheng does not wish to be overly ostentatious, provoking those strong enemies. Instead, he wishes to first focus on developing the economy and technology, aiming for greater international power only after accumulating enough influence.
After careful consideration, Jiang Cheng let out a slight sigh and then instructed the intelligence head, "Notify them that the fleet can return to Nanyao Island!"
The intelligence officer, who had been closely watching Jiang Cheng, secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Regarding the current surrounding situation faced by Jade Island, this intelligence head was perhaps the most knowledgeable. In his opinion, Jade Island’s naval maneuver had already achieved a perfect political effect, allowing for retreat.
If they continued, other neighboring countries would certainly react excessively, and by then, Jade Island might find itself in a less justified position.
Therefore, now was the best ti to stop, as it avoided a direct confrontation with the United States and also demonstrated Jade Island’s peaceful and friendly justice to the world.
What a beneficial situation, why not do it?
