CH 183 Imminent
Translated by The BL Muse (ko-fi)
The exposure of DTW was unexpected by everyone, including Jiang Chen.
This meeting was held in a hurry. The old gentleman had just returned from an overseas visit to other countries and rushed over without even taking a break. The others were also there. They were all busy people but at this time, they almost all interrupted their work to come here, travel worn and weary.
Jiang Chen was already at the Military Research Institute and was the fastest to arrive, but within a few minutes of sitting down, other people arrived one after another, without wasting a single second. For the first time, the usually calm old gentleman had a very serious demeanor. Standing at the end of the long table, he solemnly announced: "DTW attacked the security system and national security bureau of the presidential house of country A, and spread rumors to countries all over the world that our country has invented high-tech weapons that can destroy the world. Now that the United Nations meeting has advanced, we must immediately think of a response policy."
"High-tech weapons?"
"Who did it?"
"Did an insider leak the secret?"
During the discussion, Jiang Chen's thoughtful expression caught people's attention. The old gentleman knocked on the table gently, and everyone quieted down. He looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Xiao Jiang, what do you think?"
"I just came back from the Military Research Institute. H0001 suffered a sudden brain death this morning. After rescue, the brain death was reversed and he came back to life. After verification, H0001's brain death and reversal were caused by DTW. During that time, DTW was extremely active. But after He Qianjian's brain death was reversed, DTW's activity dropped to 0. I suspect that that period was the time when the security system of the presidential house of country A and their national security bureau were attacked."
"Do you remember the specific time?"
"Ten twenty to eleven thirty-five in the morning."
Calculating the time difference, the time when DTW disappeared happened to coincide with the time when country A’s defense system was attacked. Now the truth became clear.
"DTW wants to sow discord between us and other countries." One person frowned and said in a deep voice: "I suspect that the high-tech weapons it mentioned were just to draw the attention of other countries to the Changjiang system. Once people from other countries discover the Changjiang system, even if we tell the truth, we may not be able to follow our original plan."
Facts proved that this prediction would not be wrong.
Only halfway through the meeting, the Secretary-General received an urgent video call request from a representative of the United Nations. After the call was connected, the leaders of the other four permanent members of the Security Council had already arrived, and important core figures from various countries were standing or sitting around them.
The president of country A was the first to speak. As expected, he got straight to the point. He asked whether today's attack on the presidential house was related to their country. He also asked whether high-tech weapons really existed, both in his words and in his expression revealing a sense of urgency.
The several other countries obviously already knew what happened in country A today. Except for the president of country R who remained neutral, the president of country F and the prime minister of country E both sided with country A and asked them to give an explanation.
The Changjiang system would definitely become public, and the exposure time and location have been carefully considered to ensure the maximum advantages and interests of their country. However, at this moment, this plan was destined to be broken, and the exposure time of the Changjiang system was now open to question.
But no matter what, it wouldn’t be now.
After the initial questioning was dismissed by the old gentleman in front of the screen, the tone of the entire meeting was set. The top leaders of the five countries all had polite smiles, maintaining the most composed and calm demeanors, and speaking slowly and peacefully, discussing the timing of the advanced United Nations meeting.
Words were not spoken in a hurry, but every word was precise. If one was slower to respond or did not understand the culture of other countries well enough, it would be difficult to keep up with their thinking.
The screen faced the old gentleman and the secretary-general. Everyone else in the meeting was sitting behind the screen. This was most definitely the same in other countries. They could only understand the content of the meeting through dialogue. If you didn’t understand or couldn’t follow, there was no one to translate for you, because there was no translator present when this meeting was first held, and it was impossible to send a translator in now.
Even so, after the meeting, everyone here should have picked up on a lot of information. Although the theme of this video conference was to discuss the date of the advanced United Nations meeting, everyone here knew that the matter was more than that. As the saying went, the drunkard's intention was not to drink, the exposure of the Changjiang system was imminent. DTW definitely had more tricks up its sleeves and they must make a thorough plan to face it.
