Chapter 804: Inquiry from the Office for Outer Space Affairs

“I received at least 13 protests this month. Some were from private companies, some were from different countries and some were from the United Nations.” Zhang Yaping threw a stack of documents on the coffee table. He sighed as he sat across from Jiang Chen. “They’re about the space activities of Celestial Trade.”

“The reason they protested?” Unlike Zhang Yaping who was having a headache, Jiang Chen leaned back on the couch and smiled.

“The orbit.” Zhang Yaping said, “They believe the engineering activities of Celestial Trade in the synchronous orbit has seriously threatened the satellites that are in the synchronous orbit.”

“The synchronous orbit has a perimeter of more than 220,000 kilometers. I think this kind of protest is entirely unreasonable. The legal area we enjoy in outer space is at least as large as our national territory, including our territorial waters!” Jiang Chen said indifferently.

“I think so too, and I also responded to the protesters.” Zhang Yaping sighed. “However, the inquiry letter from the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs is a bit of a hassle. They worry that our ‘worksite’ will eventually turn into space debris because of malfunctions and cause serious accidents. The Office for Outer Space Affairs hopes we can at least explain the scope of the project to eliminate the concerns of various governments…”

The assistant walked over and made two cups of Blue Mountain coffee then sensibly left the president’s office.

After the assistant to left, Jiang Chen moved closer to the coffee table and lowered his voice.

“Shall I teach you what to do?”

“I would love to hear it.” Zhang Yaping shrugged helplessly.

“One word, drag.”

“Drag?”

“Yes, drag it on!” Jiang Chen lifted his coffee cup with a grin and took a sip before he continued. “Say that we’ll cooperate with the investigation while using various policies and regulations to block their procedures. The UN’s procedures are counted by the year, so if you drag it on for a year or two, our people will be done up there!”

“One or two years?” Zhang Yaping looked surprised.

As the President of Xin, he knew some information about the space elevator program. Judging from the engineering details Jiang Chen disclosed to him, this didn’t look like a short term project.

Jiang Chen put down the empty coffee cup and held up two fingers.

“Two years at the most. Our elevator will be completed in two years and we’ll lead the new international order. You just need to cooperate with me and quietly wait through this most critical period.”

After receiving a positive reply from President Zhang Yaping, Jiang Chen left the presidential palace with a satisfied smile.

The next day, Xin replied to the United Nations, saying that would cooperate with the United Nations investigation to prepare relevant procedures for observers of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs.

According to the laws of Xin, this process would take two work months to prepare.

Yes, two work months, not workdays.

The efficiency of Xin’s operations made the United Nations drop their jaws. After arriving in Xin, these UN observers were unable to start work because the required documents weren’t approved yet.

As for two months later…

Celestial Trade would prepare two trucks’ worth of documents for these observers to review.

The storm caused by construction in outer space was set aside. The investigation Jiang Chen asked Ayesha received results.

According to information reported by the Ghost Agents in Somalia, the military contractor responsible for maintaining order in the Belém region of Somalia was Arrow, registered on Madagascar Island.

Old rival.

It wasn’t the first time Jiang Chen heard the name Arrow.

Everything from the first attempted kidnapping on Coro Island to the attack in the Antarctic was committed by this private military contractor registered in the southern African island state. There was no need to investigate the shareholders behind it. There was already conclusive evidence that this company was a chess piece for Freemasonry.

As early as the kidnapping conducted by Country F, Xin protested to the Republic of Madagascar through diplomatic channels. However, the answer was quite ambiguous, and the local government and central government both acted indifferently toward Arrow.

Just as Celestial Trade controlled the order of Xin, Arrow, also in the form of exchange of interests, dictated the politics and economy in the Republic of Madagascar. As one of the most underdeveloped regions in the world, the Rothschild family already “bought” the place.

To avoid necessary problems after the fact, Celestial Trade didn’t pursue its follow-up responsibilities but only punished the perpetrator behind this attack.

Looking back on this matter now, the attack wasn’t so simple. At the time, Freemasonry already had Jiang Chen on their mind. However, Jiang Chen didn’t notice it at that time. He simply categorized the kidnapping as a retaliatory action of country F.

“What are they doing?” Jiang Chen asked Ayesha.

“Keynes Pharmaceuticals, a company that invested $5 million in the Belvedere area, established a pharmaceutical factory for the production of drugs such as penicillin and the hepatitis B vaccine needed for Somali refugees, and assisted the United Nations with humanitarian assistance… but we found something else at their pharmaceutical factory.”

Ayesha stood at the desk and held out her hand. She waved it over the desk and switched on the holographic screen.

It was a warehouse. From the angle, the footage looked like it was taken by a drone from a high point of view. In the yard, one could see people in sanitary suits and security guards with bullet-proof vests. There were a few Somalians not far from the door, and they seemed to be waiting for something.

“This is?” Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

“Keynes Pharmaceuticals’ warehouse in the Belvedere area, but after our investigation, we found out that this was a laboratory. In addition, our people searched the archives of the Somali Ministry of Commerce and this laboratory didn’t file a record.”Ayesha reached out and switched to the next picture. “This is a picture taken after our drone approached. In the picture, Keynes Pharmaceuticals researchers are testing experimenters’ blood.”

“And then?”

“After our investigation, these participants were revealed to have a common characteristic.” Ayesha looked at Jiang Chen and said in a tone of certainty, “They’re survivors of the TT virus outbreak in the region.”

“They’re researching the vaccine for the TT virus? No… It’s something we already developed.” Jiang Chen frowned.

“On April 13, a special piece of equipment was unloaded from the port of Mogadishu, Somalia, and left a record at Customs. Our agents discovered this equipment and found it was a gene sequencing device from Germany…”

“Genetically sequence for the survivors of the T-virus?” Jiang Chen’s fingers tapped on the table.

It was quiet in the office. Ayesha reached out and turned off the screen, quietly waiting for Jiang Chen’s command.

After a long time, Jiang Chen said, “Keep an eye on them. Try to get their research results without attracting their attention. I want to know what Freemasonry is really planning to do.”
