Dimensional Store System In Apocalypse-Chapter 414: How To Manage A Country (2)

"I hate to use this method, but it seems we have no other choice." Zhang Qin Feng said while leaning comfortably on the backrest of his chair. A faint emotion of anger can be felt in the air as he said what he had in mind.

All of those present in the room remained quiet as they knew Zhang Qin Feng was yet to finish saying what he had in mind.

"Defense Secretary." Zhang Qin Feng suddenly called out.

"Sir." the person seated beside Jason Deng responded instantly.

"Organize an espionage team. This is precisely an excellent opportunity to see their skills. Let's just focus on agriculture and food for now."

"I am also interested to see what kind of state of the art technology the top producer had in their arsenal to take the first place." Zhang Qin Feng chuckled after he finished giving out his instruction.

"Yes, Sir. It will be done immediately. Who do you have in mind for now?" the Defense Secretary continued.

"Let's start with the Pacific Union. It's time we handle some loose strings with them." Zhang Qin Feng answered after giving the question a thought. At the same time, mentioning the Pacific Union reminded Zhang Qin Feng of someone.

Blue Sparrow, the espionage agent he met and captured when he's at the seaside town in Dongcheng.

"The two of you, get in touch with the Defense Office to exchange information. I don't need to teach you what to do, correct?" Zhang Qin Feng smiled as he reminded them to cooperate with one another.

His sentence was mild and nicely spoken, but only those that knew Zhang Qin Feng's attitude understood the meaning behind his friendly tone. And the warmer he gets, the harder he hits them.

Although there have been multiple economic sanctioning attempts targeted at Marianna in the past nine months, all of them hardly forced Jason Deng to retaliate seriously.

And they just had to repeat this again just when Zhang Qin Feng came back.

Unfortunately for them, their attempt would be biting themselves this time for sure.

With Zhang Qin Feng deciding to retaliate, it would definitely hit them fast, hard, and painfully.

The meeting was adjourned after a few other reports were brought up in the discussion. Since the government under Jason Deng has not decided to move on with the espionage and technology stealing in agriculture, everything else would have to be postponed until this operation is over.

A call came in after the meeting ended.

In less than half an hour, a team of elite soldiers had successfully infiltrated the Pacific Union under the pretense of tourism and investment. The group of ten quickly spread their influence further from there.

Using the disclosable funds provided by Marianna's National Bank as a pretense, the team quickly took control over a few smaller plantation farms with good potential. And to make this easier for them to control, Zhang Qin Feng made sure that they put more attention on headhunting immigrants and neglected locals.

These people would be more valuable than those with blind faith in their government. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

With Marianna's employment, benefit, and willingness to renegotiate the term that protects the interest of the government and its partners, the process of taking over some of the highest potential agricultural companies went smoothly.

A shell company was established in less than a month for the espionage team to act lawfully on foreign soil. And while the information and results continued to flow back to Marianna, Zhang Qin Feng's daily life is filled with smiles and happiness.

After resting for a month or so, both Wang Yufei and Jun Minji are not fit to go around independently. And since it's been a while he didn't fulfill the primary responsibility as a husband to both of them, Zhang Qin Feng made sure he compensated them.

From bedding both at once to accompanying them around like a husband should, there was only laughter accompanying the trio wherever they went. The two were also smart enough not to go too deep into what Zhang Qin Feng was doing for the past nine months.

On one particular day, a disturbing report suddenly came to his attention.

It seems that the Pacific Union had caught a hint on what his espionage team was doing on their soil. As there are only two months to go before the new year, both sides were tense due to their economic exchange.

On the surface, they shared a friendly approach towards one another. Still, only those with deep political knowledge could feel how bad is the situation between those two.

"Sir, the Pacific Union's side had started to take action on all the businesses we managed to lawfully get our hand on. It seems that they've been changing a few policies deliberately for the whole past month just to hit us today." the representative for agriculture said. He was in a private conversation with Zhang Qin Feng right now.

"What's our losses? Is there anything we've yet to transfer or complete the paperwork to become Marianna's produce?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.

To Zhang Qin Feng, the losses of a few hundred million dollars amounted to nothing. What was bothering him was the legal paperwork that existed in between to protect the interest of both parties.

This is especially true since Pacific Union is known for its irony and complicated legislative process to protect its interest. They're also well known for their way of enforcing intellectual rights on everything made on their nation's soil.

That's precisely why Zhang Qin Feng has no other option but to play with them on this paperwork game. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

"Out of everything we brought, 90% of the assets were accounted for. I would say that we have nothing much to lose even if they forcefully shut our facility to hinder our progress." the representative said.

It seems that there's a hint of confidence behind his reply.

"You sounded confident in your reply today. Did something good happen?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. Zhang Qin Feng was used to the representative's gloomy reply without realizing it.

"Yes, Sir. Would you like me to go deeper in our agricultural research for now?" the representative replied.
