China.
Several high-ranking military officials gathered together.
"Everyone, let's talk about this. Lin Chen donated one billion, and he's going to donate drones in the future. We can't just not respond at all, right?"
One of the high-ranking officials said.
Another high-ranking official said, "During the negotiation with the Russian Bears, we still owe him a considerable favor. Jiang Hong is familiar with him, so why don't we let Jiang Hong talk about it too?"
"I have no objection."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They chatted casually, and after about half an hour, Yang Jianghong arrived, as he was already in the capital.
"Greetings, Chiefs."
Yang Jianghong saluted.
"Jianghong, sit down."
"Today isn't a formal meeting; we're just chatting."
One of the high-ranking officials said with a smile.
Yang Jianghong's rank was quite different from theirs, but Yang Jianghong's father, Old Yang, hadn't retired yet. With his high rank, everyone present had to give Old Yang some face.
"Okay."
Yang Jianghong sat down.
The leading high-ranking official, Zhang Wenzhong, smiled and said, "Jianghong, what do you think of Lin Chen's live broadcast this time?"
"This—"
Yang Jianghong hesitated a little.
Zhang Wenzhong said, "Jianghong, feel free to speak your mind. We're just discussing how to handle this matter today."
Yang Jianghong considered for a moment and said, "Chiefs, I'm not sure about other things, but I know that Brother Lin is very powerful, and his power definitely exceeds your estimates."
"Oh?"
"You believe in him so much?"
Zhang Wenzhong said in surprise.
Yang Jianghong nodded, "I absolutely believe in him. Brother Lin's strength is all-encompassing. In terms of art, his calligraphy, painting, and fairy tales are all extremely powerful."
"In terms of sports, he's very strong at basketball. He can climb Mount Tai while carrying his wife and children, and his alcohol tolerance is much stronger than ordinary people."
"He even shook the music scene with his singing."
Another high-ranking official said, "So, what do you think we should do?"
Yang Jianghong said seriously, "Losing him, our losses might be greater than losing any other scientist."
"We can't let him feel disheartened."
"He won't commit treason, but he might just slack off in the future. Even what he's doing now is enough for him to be remembered in history."
Zhang Wenzhong laughed and said, "It seems we need to take action, otherwise he'll be remembered in history, and we might end up on the historical blacklist."
"How about drawing some people from each military region to form a reinforced anti-terrorism battalion?"
"About a thousand people."
"Each one must be a top soldier from their respective military regions."
Everyone nodded.
The deterrent power of such a reinforced anti-terrorism battalion is still considerable. Anti-gang operations require evidence, but anti-terrorism operations only require a list.
If kidnappers are on their list of targets for elimination, it would be extremely difficult to escape, even if they hide abroad.
China can cooperate with other countries in anti-terrorism efforts, without overtly taking action, but secretly sending some people to take action is also possible.
"Old Zhang, just this isn't enough, right?"
Someone said.
Zhang Wenzhong: "We haven't had military exercises in the southwest for a while. Let's have one, and the scale can be slightly larger."
"Recently, haven't the police from six countries been having joint operations? Our military can also send some people to participate."
Everyone nodded.
They quickly reached an agreement.
Before long, the Chinese military issued an announcement.
"Each military region is drawing top soldiers to form a reinforced anti-terrorism battalion, conducting military exercises on the border, and the military is also sending people to participate in police operations. The military's reaction this time is huge."
"How can it not be? Master Lin is too strong."
"Master Lin is donating money and goods, and he'll probably provide technical support in the future. It would be strange if the military didn't give him face."
Many people discussed the announcement as soon as it was released.
…
United States.
They also received the news as soon as possible.
But it took their people longer to gather.
"Gentlemen, what do you say?"
The leading figure in the conference room said in a deep voice.
Another high-ranking official said, "According to our intelligence, Lin Chen does spend a lot of time on other things."
"If Zhang Yang dies, it might change his attitude, and he might enter some bases to devote himself to research."
"That would be very disadvantageous to us."
A third high-ranking official said, "Lin Chen is very strong in many aspects, and someone like him probably wouldn't exaggerate."
"If he really devotes himself to researching fighter jets, missiles, submarines, etc., we will face greater pressure."
"It would be a great thing for us if he died, but if something happens to his family and friends, it might stimulate him to fully invest in military technology research, which would be very bad."
Everyone discussed, each contributing their own opinion.
The result of their discussion was that they had to stand up and ensure that Zhang Yang survived.
Soon, someone from the United States held a press conference.
Their spokesperson strongly condemned the act of kidnapping as a violation of human rights, and they cited Zhang Yang's example.
Southeast Asia, somewhere.
Two people looked at the mobile phone video, looking at each other in dismay.
"Baga, the Americans actually stood up to support him!"
One of them cursed in a low voice.
The other person said, "They don't want Lin Chen to devote himself to military technology research. If Lin Chen does that, it wouldn't be a good thing for our East Sakura Country either."
"Perhaps we have to release him."
They kidnapped Zhang Yang not targeting Lin Chen.
They hoped to use Zhang Yang's relationship with Lin Chen, using Lin Chen's influence to make this place a hot spot.
To focus the attention of China and the United States on this place.
In the current international situation, East Sakura Country is very panicked.
If there is going to be a fight around China, Taiwan won't work. Taiwan is China's territory, and China is not willing.
East Sakura Country is very suitable.
China and East Sakura Country have a blood feud, and the United States also had a blood feud with East Sakura Country back then, turning the entire East Sakura Country into ruins. China and the United States have no objections.
Korea and others are also happy.
European countries would also applaud if they could direct the war to the East.
The only one who is unhappy is East Sakura Country.
If the big brother and the second brother go to war in their home, no matter which side wins in the end, they are bound to lose everything.
They are trying their best not to be the scapegoat.
"Let him go."
"Alas!"
The two people can only do this.
The big brother and the second brother have both expressed their support for Lin Chen. If Zhang Yang dies at this time, they will be waiting for a joint anti-terrorism operation by various countries, and they will definitely have no way to survive at that time.
They released Zhang Yang soon.
Zhang Yang is now a hot potato.
"Damn, where is this?"
Zhang Yang was placed on the side of a dirt road.
There are no houses on either side of the dirt road, and the two people who sent him over have already driven away.
Zhang Yang walked in one direction.
After half an hour, Zhang Yang finally borrowed a mobile phone to call the police, and the police attached great importance to it.
And quickly notified China of the news.
"Di Di!"
Lin Chen's mobile phone rang, it was Tianlang calling.
"Tianlang, is there any news about Zhang Yang?"
Tianlang on the other end of the phone said happily: "Mr. Lin, yes, we just received news that Zhang Yang is fine. We will bring him back to China as soon as possible."
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't mention Zhang Yang during the live broadcast, but Zhang Yang is his friend, and he doesn't want anything to happen to Zhang Yang.
