Chapter 1137 What will it take for you to stop?

Chapter 1138 How exactly do you want to stop?“Sil, 16 years old; born in a slum in Madagascar; Han and Portuguese mix. She’s proficient in five languages, good at camouflage and drone modification. At the age of 12, she was rescued from a smuggling ship by a Celestial Trade patrol boat. After that, she was sent to Ghost Island for military training among the third groups of agents.”

It was good to start early, and training was not an exception.

Other than the first and second groups of agents, all other Ghost Agents were orphans from underdeveloped areas and war zones.

The older ones were15 years old while the younger ones were under 10 years old. On Ghost Island, they receive basic education up till high school under closed militarized management, while learning language and the necessary “professional knowledge” of agents. Before the age of forty, they would serve as a member of Ghost Agents. After the age of forty, they could choose to retire or serve in non-field positions of Ghost Agents.

Without Celestial Trade, most of their fates would be struggling below the poverty line or die as a casualty of the war. The people who gave them their second life were their saviors, and Ghost Island continued to instill this belief into them.

When they leave Ghost Island, their thoughts have been entrenched with loyalty. That’s why Jiang Chen never worried about their loyalty.

At this moment, in the office of the mansion on Coro Island.

Jiang Chen looked at the resume and listened to Ayesha’s report.

The Xin intelligence personnel and the UA CIB’s spy war in Nippon had escalated to direct and open engagement. Although Xin also suffered casualties, in general, Xin gained the upper hand. While their intelligence personnel was inferior to the CIB, the powerful assassination ability of Ghost Agents regained them some ground.

“This resume is pretty good. However, is being a Han-Portuguese mix… fine?”

“Camouflage is one of her best abilities, and she can easily switch between Asian and European appearances with makeup.”

“That… is really an incredible ability.”

“If it were not an incredible ability, it would not have been included in the resume.” Ayesha grinned as she saw Jiang Chen’s shocked expression.

“In that case, she can serve as the Intelligence Commander of Ghost Agents in Nippon.” Jiang Chen signed his name on the document. “Although, I would have preferred giving Zhu Yu this position. She handled the T vrius Crisis in Yoto quite exceptionally.”

“There is nothing wrong with her abilities. However, her management skill is still a little lacking. It is more suitable for her to engage in anti-espionage work in the country,” Ayesha said gently.

“You are her instructor. You know her best,” Jiang Chen said, “Right, there is another task for you.”

Ayesha’s sapphire-eyes blinked and she nodded.

“Have you heard of the name Qian Xia?”

Ayesha tilted her head and remembered the name.

“The maid that took care of us in Nippon?”

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded. “If it’s convenient, get Sil to keep an eye on her.”

Although the two sides have remained rationale and haven’t involved other people, it would be impossible to ensure that this demeanor would continue. Just in case, it would be best to prepare beforehand.

Also, he did like the little maid who was so obedient.

Ayesha nodded to signal her understanding, then asked.

“What about that police?”

Jiang Chen’s expression was a little odd.

Ayesha looked at Jiang Chen, confused, waiting for him to make a decision.

“…just leave her be, she should be okay.”

“Yes.”

Ayesha nodded, picked up the document that Jiang Chen just signed, and then left.

After the door of the office closed, Jiang Chen leaned back into his chair. After looking up at the ceiling for a moment, he closed his eyes.

In just two weeks, they lost twenty-nine intelligence personnel in foreign countries. In contrast, a total of 37 CIB agents at all levels were executed, and more than half of them were the work of Ghost Agents.

If he wanted to completely integrate Nippon into Xin’s sphere of influence, then there was no way to circumvent the CIB. The UA did not want Nippon to renegotiate the treaty, and it was bound to make moves through the CIB. Jiang Chen’s only choice now was to tear a few holes out of the intelligence network the UA has been operating since the Cold War era, and then fill in the spaces with the intelligence personnel of Xin with the goal of finally kicking the CIB out.

Only Ayesha and several senior officials of the intelligence department were aware about this difficult task.

Although the report placed on his desk that stated twenty-nine for thirty-seven clearly favored Xin, it was because CIB remained in the open while Xin agents as the newcomers hid in the dark. If the spy war continued, then it would be hard to maintain this ratio until the end.

But then again, with the causalities, it was time to decide a victor.

If everything goes as planned, UA should contact him soon to discuss a “peace treaty” that will satisfy both parties.

Jiang Chen was looking forward to testing Hill’s bottom line.

His bottom line was one hundred people.

If the war’s damage exceeds one hundred…

Maybe he will stop first and look for other options.

Of course, maybe he may get hotheaded again and send another hundred agents in.

Anyway, the intelligence department of Xin obeys his order. War or peace is at the whim of his thoughts. There is no need for any inefficient cabinet discussion or ridiculous voting.

Just as Jiang Chen closed his eyes to meditate, his phone vibrated.

“The UA? They can’t take it anymore?”

Lifting one eyelid, Jiang Chen lazily reached out and opened the holographic screen. However, when he looked at the IP displayed on the screen, he found himself wrong. It was not from UA but Nippon.

He put down his legs that were resting on the table, Jiang Chen fixed his collar, cleared his throat, and then picked up the call.

“Hello?”

…

The prime minister holding the phone had a mix of feelings.

Honestly, he didn’t want to make this call.

With Xin and UA, two countries in the midst of a heated battle, it wouldn’t serve him any purpose to intervene. What’s more, in his position, it would only benefit Nippon for the war to last as long as possible.

Only when the two tigers were both tired could Nippon have the opportunity to consolidate their intelligence network, escape the control of the UA and avoid being controlled by Celestial Trade. Slowly, Nippon would become a “normal country.”

As for the recent murders, it won’t be a big deal since only spies have died.

However, now, he was forced to make this call.

Celestial Trade had done something recently where he must intervene…

Looking at the man in front of him, the Prime Minister tried to make his smile look less rigid.

“…ahem, Mr. Jiang Chen, I will be straightforward with you. What will it take for you to stop?”
