Sun Cheng blinked, but he reacted quickly. He looked down at Colonel Vasilievich and asked directly, "So, are you planning to take action against South Ossetia?"

North Pole Bear was a crucial part of his strategic plan, so he paid special attention to this country.

In December last year, the United Russia Party and other parties elected Dmitry, the current Vice President, as the next president, which Vladimir agreed to.

Not long ago, after Vladimir's term as president ended, he officially became the Chairman of the United Russia Party. On May 7th, Dmitry, with his support, was successfully elected as the new president of Russia. After taking the oath of office, he nominated Vladimir for the position of Prime Minister in the new government, and Vladimir immediately accepted the invitation to become Prime Minister.

This beautifully coordinated move not only demonstrated the highly skilled political tactics of Russia's iron-fisted president to the world, but also ensured the continuation of his political career.

Even though he stepped down from the presidency, Vladimir continued to carry out his plan to rearm North Pole Bear meticulously and accumulate popularity for his future re-election campaign.

There was no simpler and more straightforward method to rearm a country and gain fame and popular support than through a war.

South Ossetia had been Vladimir's target for several years now.

Colonel Vasilievich's face showed a barely perceptible change upon hearing Sun Cheng's question.

Russia had been continuously deploying and reinforcing troops in the Caucasus region recently, and they had collaborated with these extraterrestrial visitors on various matters. They even launched several satellites into outer space using Russia's spacecraft.

Therefore, Moscow had already made assumptions about their own military actions being known to Sun Cheng and his team. However, despite these assumptions, no one would remain calm when their military secrets were easily exposed.

Colonel Vasilievich, who had emerged from Lubyanka Square, had a profound understanding of this.

If Sun Cheng hadn't been observing him closely, he might have missed the fleeting change on his face.

However, Colonel Vasilievich remained composed on the surface, as if he had heard nothing unusual. He replied solemnly, "Your Excellency, you have been on Earth for some time now, and I believe you should have some understanding of our country's external environment. In recent years, the countries led by the United States in NATO have continuously expanded northward in Europe, covertly trying to turn our traditional allies against us. They have even openly torn up peace agreements and deployed military forces in the territories of our former allies, posing a serious threat to our national security. We have no choice but to prepare for counterattacks..."

Sun Cheng nodded. In this world, the Soviet Union had disintegrated many years ago.

Although Russia, after the formation of the Russian Federation, had shown enough friendliness and sincerity towards NATO and especially the United States during the terms of its first two presidents, and even hoped to become a member of NATO and the European Union, the United States still held considerable hostility towards Russia. They seemed to be eager to dismantle this world's largest country once again.

Compared to his predecessor, the second president of Russia, who was now the new Prime Minister Vladimir, was undoubtedly tougher and more capable.

In recent years, the tumor of the world—the Americans—had been constantly making trouble in Europe, constantly provoking Russia, which had already irritated this iron-fisted leader.

Especially neighboring Georgia, which had been stirred up by NATO in the Caucasus region for the past two years, had been preparing to completely annex South Ossetia since last year.

South Ossetia was a special country in the Caucasus region. If placed on Earth, it would probably be a term that over 99% of the people had never heard of, and there were still very few countries recognizing its sovereignty.

But South Ossetia was one of the dangerous powder kegs in the eyes of European and American politicians.

Over two hundred years ago, South Ossetia was annexed by Tsarist Russia and later became an autonomous region under the jurisdiction of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic when the Soviet Union was established.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, South Ossetia became independent.

For more than a decade, the Republic of South Ossetia had been one of the "main battlefields" between Russia and Georgia, or NATO, in the Caucasus region.

Last year, as the term of the iron-fisted president Vladimir was coming to an end, Georgia, with NATO's support, initiated multiple disputes along its border with South Ossetia.

On the surface, it seemed that they wanted to reabsorb South Ossetia, but the real purpose was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye—they were targeting Russia.

This undoubtedly gave Vladimir a good reason!

More than a decade had passed, and even though Russia had experienced a long period of economic and military decline due to the incompetence of its first president after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, since Vladimir took office at the turn of the century, North Pole Bear had gradually emerged from the pain of the Soviet Union's collapse. The economy was recovering, and military construction was being restored.

Especially after establishing cooperation with Sun Cheng's team last year, out of political necessity, Vladimir had provided Russia with advanced equipment, including some military technologies that were considered advanced on Earth.

He had even spent money buying a large number of Russian weapons and equipment, as his controlled countries in North America could make good use of them, and it would also accelerate Russia's military and heavy industry recovery.

After drinking several large bottles of "nutritional beverages" provided by Sun Cheng, Russia had long been aware of the actions of NATO and Georgia, and they were no longer willing to engage in covert warfare with them.

Since the beginning of this year, they had started purposeful military simulations and mobilization.

It was predictable that a military conflict apparently centered on the issue of sovereignty between Georgia and the Republic of South Ossetia would soon involve Russia and drag NATO, along with their backer, the United States, into it.

North Pole Bear had already pulled out some good things from its pockets. If the Yankees didn't personally come on stage to perform, they would definitely suffer a big loss, relying solely on the scattered remnants of war equipment left by the European Union.

After hearing from Sun Cheng about the cooperation between the United States and the Autobots, Vladimir was still cautious and repeatedly inquired about it. Even though Sun Cheng assured him that the Decepticons would not intervene in the military conflicts between humans and the Autobots as long as they stayed out of it, Vladimir was still a little uneasy when finalizing the purchase of a batch of electromagnetic weapons.

Since this iron-fisted leader voluntarily proposed to pay with uranium ore, Sun Cheng eventually agreed to the deal.

Sun Cheng had offended too many forces in this world. The only superpower on Earth, the United States, the two forces from the Cybertron civilization—the Autobots and the Decepticon Corps—were all his adversaries.

Not long ago, Soundwave had caused a disturbance, and he might already be on their priority surveillance list.

Being constantly monitored by a group of people was not a comfortable feeling, as you never knew when they would suddenly catch you off guard.

Therefore, Sun Cheng had been seeking ways to solve these unfavorable situations, and supporting North Pole Bear was just one of his many attempts.

It wasn't for nothing that he had done so much in the past, and now it was time for him to reap the rewards.

After this conflict, a part of the United States' energy would have to be restrained by Russia.

The Second Fleet, which occasionally roamed around the Caribbean and South America, would still have time to run around?

Now, all that remained was for the Autobots and the Decepticon Corps to engage in another fight at the Mariana Trench. Sun Cheng's planned two battlefields would successfully tie up most of his opponents for some time.
