Chapter 188 The Sea
For her, although she couldn't stay by her master's side and do things for him, it was enough to help her mistress.
Dunshan, a mechanical life form, hadn't considered all that and remained attached to Jiang Tiansheng's custom-made Rolls-Royce.
With Dunshan around, Jiang Tiansheng didn't have to worry about anyone assassinating him.
Dunshan's defense is no joke.
It almost completely inherits the characteristics from the game, so no ranged attack can cause any damage to Dunshan.
Whether you're using a pistol, rifle, light machine gun, sniper rifle, anti-aircraft machine gun, grenade launcher, or any other long-range attack, you won't be able to cause any damage to the vehicle.
Of course, there is a limit to this ability to withstand damage. If the power is like that of a small missile, even Dunshan cannot withstand it.
However, deploying missiles to kill Jiang Tiansheng is not worthwhile, at least for now.
And then there's Squirtle, a strange creature from the Digital World, who doesn't think much.
He simply spends his days in the artificial lake, helping Alita protect her home.
After the Jiang family manor is completed, Jiang Tiansheng will release the Squirtle into the sea.
After Squirtle comes Natasha.
Since Natasha joined the company, Jiang Tiansheng's Tianwaitian has experienced rapid growth.
In just a few months, Tianwaitian has developed into one of the top three intelligence organizations in Asia.
Of course, this also cost a lot of money.
But for Jiang Tiansheng, it was all worth it. No matter how much money it cost, as long as he could build a world-class intelligence team, it was all worth it.
Especially now.
Jiang Tiansheng's expectations for Natasha, or rather, his vision for Tianwaitian, were to benchmark against the world's three major intelligence organizations: the FBI of the United States, MI6 of the United Kingdom, and the KGB of the United States.
After Natasha, there were four others: Heita, Jingni, Jia Xu, and Long Wenzhang.
Currently, Jia Xu and Long Wenzhang are on Sumatra Island, conquering cities and territories for Jiang Tiansheng.
As for Jing Ni, she has replaced Zhengang and become Jiang Tiansheng's personal bodyguard, a true personal bodyguard, the kind who is available 24 hours a day.
Even when Jiang Tiansheng is with Madonna and others, Jing Ni will quietly hide around, protecting Jiang Tiansheng at any time.
As for the Black Tower.
It can be said that Black Tower will be the core of Jiang Tiansheng Technology in the future, but at present, it is not possible to fully unleash the power of Black Tower.
First and foremost is the laboratory.
No matter how talented a person is, their laboratory must first be world-class.
In addition to the laboratory, there are many other facilities.
If it were in the past, when Jiang Tiansheng considered Hong Kong as the center, he would have already begun preparing for the laboratory.
But now, Jiang Tiansheng has decided to wait a little longer.
Once the situation on Sumatra has stabilized, he will make it his future core territory.
Jiang Tiansheng didn't bring Heita this time because Sumatra Island hadn't officially become Jiang Tiansheng's territory yet. Heita was just a two-dimensional girl with little strength, so her safety was a big problem.
"A whole day has passed, and you're telling me you still haven't found the cruise ship?" The FBI agent in Hong Kong, looking rather grim, questioned his subordinate.
"Sir, we really can't find it."
The subordinate replied helplessly, "I have mobilized many people, but no one has seen it, and it is not displayed on the radar."
Jiang Tiansheng set off overnight, and visibility is already poor at night on the open sea.
Ships rely primarily on radar when navigating at night, but even radar is useless.
We just can't find Jiang Tiansheng's cruise ship.
"What's the situation at Jiang Tiansheng's villa? Has there been any news?" The person in charge frowned and continued to ask.
A day has passed, and the cruise ship still hasn't been found; it will be even more difficult to find it now.
Now, the most important thing is to determine whether Jiang Tiansheng is still alive.
If he's there, there's not much of a problem, but if he's not, things might be different.
"Sir, my men report that Jiang Tiansheng hasn't come out since he went home," the subordinate replied earnestly to his superior's question.
"you sure?"
"Yes, sir, I can confirm."
"Does the villa have any access to the outside world?" the officer suddenly thought of and hurriedly asked.
"Don't worry, sir, I've already sent people to check the area, and there's nothing there," the subordinate said confidently.
He spent half a month investigating this matter.
It is certain that this villa had absolutely no access to the outside world before Jiang Tiansheng moved in.
As for whether it exists now?
That's even more impossible.
If the truth were to be dug through a tunnel, how much manpower and resources would it take?
In fact, these are minor issues. The most important thing is, if we dig, where is the soil? There's absolutely no way to hide it from the people around us.
Therefore, he can say with certainty that there is no such thing.
"Keep an eye on things."
Upon hearing this, the officer said with a serious expression, "The cruise ship has disappeared, but Jiang Tiansheng absolutely cannot disappear again."
"Yes, sir."
After saying this, the subordinate bowed and took his leave.
The same thing happened; almost every intelligence organization in the world received this information.
And their subsequent reactions were almost no different from theirs.
On the FBI side, the subordinate had just left when the person in charge received a call from the US headquarters.
"Ok, I see."
"I will fully cooperate with her then..."
After receiving the call, the person in charge immediately became serious.
“Okay, I’ve got it. She’s a reporter for a South African newspaper, and her full name is Christine…”
After hanging up the phone, the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief.
The call was from his hometown, and there was only one thing on his mind: his hometown was very dissatisfied with the lack of progress.
So, the FBI sent a new recruit from their home office.
This newcomer, despite being a newcomer, is exceptionally capable. The person in charge in Hong Kong doesn't even know the other party's real name.
All he knew was that the person coming was a reporter for a South African newspaper named Christine, but he didn't know if that was actually her name.
Two and a half days passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the past two and a half days, Jiang Tiansheng has become somewhat uncomfortable lying on the boat.
It was a little better at first.
But after a while, it gets too boring.
Fortunately, Jingni helped him along the way, and even gave him massages to help him relax.
"It's finally here."
Two and a half days later, Jiang Tiansheng saw land for the first time, and his eyes lit up. He was eager to see it.
On the open sea, especially on the route he chose, the journey was not only long but also very far from the shore.
"finally reached."
After the ship docked, Jiang Tiansheng took Jing Ni and left the cruise ship.
When they disembarked, Jia Xu and his men were already waiting for them on the shore.
"Lord."
Jia Xu, accompanied by Long Wenzhang, came to greet Jiang Tiansheng.
Jiang Tiansheng nodded, then instructed Jia Xu, "Send men to guard this place and prevent anyone from discovering this cruise ship."
"Yes, my lord."
Jia Xu nodded slightly, and then arranged for a squad of soldiers to be stationed there.
When Jia Xu came to welcome Jiang Tiansheng this time, he brought only the toy soldiers he had manifested last time, so their loyalty was not a concern.
"Let's go."
Afterwards, the group got into the car and headed to their current base.
"What's the situation at the base now?" Jiang Tiansheng asked Jia Xu from inside the car.
Sometimes, what is reported over the phone is far less reliable than what you hear and see with your own eyes.
"Now, at the base..." Jia Xu gave a brief introduction to the situation at the base.
Currently, the base has occupied the entire Gelinzhi County.
Gelinzhi County is, after all, a small county with a total population of less than 200,000.
The Javanese were either driven out or killed.
In fact, the current widespread conflict across Sumatra is entirely due to the Riau Islands.
Needless to say, these were all Jia Xu's doing.
In the current situation, the best option would be to survive and develop your character.
Currently, the military force at the base in Gelinzhi County has expanded to 30,000 personnel.
“Thirty thousand is already the limit. Any more than that and we’ll lose control,” Jia Xu said, his expression unusually serious.
There was no other way; of the 30,000 troops, only 800 were their own men.
As for the remaining two hundred people, they have all been sent out, and of course, some of them have died.
With only 800 men, he controlled an army of 30,000. Apart from Jia Xu, no one else could control him.
Moreover, this was already Jia Xu's limit.
The main problem was that this army of 30,000 men comprised more than ten different ethnic groups, making them extremely difficult to manage.
"Don't worry, I've brought you two thousand soldiers and a hundred officers with me this time," Jiang Tiansheng said to Jia Xu, reassuring him.
With Jia Xu's abilities, having nearly three thousand loyal soldiers and one hundred officers would be more than enough to control an army of thirty thousand.
Jiang Tiansheng thought that Jia Xu would be pleased after he finished speaking, but that was not the case.
"Mr. Wenhe, is there something you need?" Jiang Tiansheng asked Jia Xu with a serious expression.
"My lord, I believe the most important thing right now is to change the situation of the various ethnic groups within the army," Jia Xu said earnestly to Jiang Tiansheng.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiansheng looked at Jia Xu with a puzzled expression.
"My lord, I believe that an army composed of too many ethnic groups is difficult to manage..." Jia Xu said to Jiang Tiansheng.
Jia Xu's statement that it was inconvenient to manage was an understatement.
In Jia Xu's view, an elite army must maintain the purity of its bloodline.
"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts"—this was Jia Xu's consistent thought.
"Mr. Wenhe, in your opinion, what should we do...?" Jiang Tiansheng looked at Jia Xu and asked seriously.
Jiang Tiansheng didn't understand this either.
But it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand; Jia Xu does. We can just leave everything to Jia Xu.
"The first step is to change the household registration system starting in Gelinzhi County. Everyone will be re-registered with new identity documents, and there will be no more distinctions such as Minangkabau, Badak, Sunda, etc..." Jia Xu said with a serious expression.
