I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 1359: South and North Colombia

Time soon reached the end of the month.

Although there were still countless reluctances, the UA finally fulfilled the promises in the agreement and initiated the first withdrawal procedure at the end of August. Amongst the cheers of the Yokosuka citizens, the flagship of the Seventh Fleet departed from the port and headed towards the Pacific Ocean.

After they learned the news of the UA withdrawal, the protesting citizens celebrated this historic moment and even set off fireworks at the gate of the UA military base. Although this behavior drew protests from the embassy and was quickly stopped by the police and the garrison, it still did not affect the celebratory mood of the Yokosuka people at this moment.

However, they didn’t know that the fortress in front of them just received a new owner. Two years from now, when the UA completed its withdrawal, Celestial Trade would take over here, and Nippon would never be able to get rid of the foreign troops to become a “normal country”.

But in any case, for these citizens, it was a great victory and a day worth celebrating.

About a few months later, the Mayor of Yokosuka proposed that this day would become a city holiday, and it received overwhelming support, but these were for later...

The UA fulfilled their promises, and Jiang Chen didn’t break his promise either.

On the second day after the Seventh Fleet left Yokosuka Port, Jiang Chen fulfilled the promise he made in the agreement. He called FARC leader Timochenko and Moro General and President Santos. He explained the requirements for cease-fire and release of NATO troops.

So far, FARC had captured Bogota, the capital of Colombia, and it was only one step away from gaining full control of Medellin, an important city in the central region. Now the entire Andes in Colombia was controlled by FARC guerrillas, and the southern provinces of Colombia had also fallen into the hands of FARC. The government force was forced to retreat along the Gulf of Mexico to the northern coast of Colombia along with the NATO Coalition Force.

It was not an exaggeration to say that FARC was one step away from controlling Colombia. The phone call from Jiang Chen at this time undoubtedly ruined Timochenko’s dream of being the president and divided the country into two, North and South Colombia.

Although he was extremely reluctant and unwilling, Timochenko nodded and agreed to Jiang Chen’s request. He slowly sent representatives to contact the Colombian government and initiated the ceasefire negotiation process. As for Santos, he had no opinion as he listened to what Jiang Chen said. He immediately agreed to the ceasefire agreement.

When the captured NATO soldiers were told that they could go home before the end of the next month, they almost cried with excitement. This more than a month of life was not only torture to their bodies, but also torture to their arrogant self-esteem.

Before they set foot on the battlefield, they originally thought it would be an asymmetrical war. However, when the EMP strike arrived, they experienced firsthand who was on the losing side...

As the ceasefire agreement entered into force, South Colombia had controlled 80% of Colombia’s territory. Although the Mexican coast was under the control of the government and NATO Coalition Force, the most important borders with Panama, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Brazil were all controlled by South Colombia.

At this point, Celestial Trade’s Global Grid Plan finally made a breakthrough in South America.

When Celestial Trade sent a team of engineers to Colombia, it also sent sales representatives to South American countries and began negotiations with the governments.

As the seventh-largest economy ranked tenth in the world’s electricity generation, Brazil was still very interested in the Global Grid Plan, and almost without hesitation, it agreed to the terms. It became the third South American country after South Colombia to join the grid.

A transmission cable would run north from Ecuador into southern Colombia, through the Andes and the Amazon jungle, cross Colombia’s border into Brazil, and finally merge into Brazil’s national grid. This transmission network would be completed by the end of the year. By then, most of South America would be tied to the Global Grid Plan and the war chariot of Celestial Trade...

...

In early September, the Yoto Olympics finally came to an end with the final gold medal determined. Due to the doping scandal, this Olympics came to an end amidst countless doubts and criticisms. Fortunately, until the closing ceremony ended, there were no more twists and turns.

The ranking of gold medals was released.

Due to the impact of the banned substances list published by Future Biology, although the Olympic Committee protected the athletes from the UA on the “Therapeutic Use Exemptions” under pressure, it was undeniable that the performance of those athletes was impacted. The total number of gold medals won by the UA unprecedentedly fell to fourth place. In contrast, Hua and Russia secured first and second places respectively.

As for Xin...

Unfortunately, as it was the country’s first time participating in the Olympics, Xin only won one gold medal in total.

The gold medal was the one around Jiang Chen’s neck. The 10 meter air rifle champion, the first gold medal in the Yoto Olympics, and the first gold medal for Xin in the Olympics...

Regardless of whether the Xinese people waiting for the result in front of their TV were satisfied, Jiang Chen was pleased with the result. This gold medal would be placed at the most visible spot in his office, in a place immediately visible once the door was open...

On the night of the closing ceremony, in order to celebrate the only gold medal, Xin’s athletes held a party in the hotel late into the night. As the protagonist of the party, Jiang Chen was taken advantage of by the well-built female athletes, and he had a lot of alcohol.

This time he didn’t use the storage dimension to cheat, so he was really drunk in the end. He vaguely recalled that he was sandwiched between two beautiful gymnasts who helped him back to his room. Later, something seemed to have happened. However, when he woke up at noon, he only saw the pillows and beddings tossed on the ground, a glass of water on the bedside table, as well as the decoction medicine prepared for him by the hotel staff.

At first, he thought it was just because the athletes were more excited. Later, he learned from Coach Wang Tao that this situation was not surprising in the Olympics, and it could be even considered as a culture of the Olympics...

“I don’t want to make too many comments on this, but if you live in the Olympic Village for a while, I bet you will see even more exciting scenes. I remember when I was in Rio four years ago, the organizer prepared 450,000 condoms for the athletes in the village, setting the highest record in the history of the Olympics, and it was also the only Olympic Games where the condoms didn’t run out.”

“More exciting?” Jiang Chen asked curiously.

“You know, where a group of people,” Wang Tao coughed and made a vague gesture. “If you get it, then you get it, if you don’t get it, you don’t get it. Everyone here is fit, full of hormones. When the timeis no longer tense, it’s not surprising what happens next. In short, what happens in the Olympic Village stays in the Olympic Village. Do you know what I mean? No one will interfere with each other’s life and family after.”

“...I probably understand what you mean.”

Jiang Chen touched his nose awkwardly and did not continue this topic.

He was not a man of integrity and did not mind what happened that night. His only regret was that he didn’t remember that face...

Maybe there were two faces.
