Chapter 2851 Stepping Stone, Handing Over the Knife
Vladivostok.
In the office marked with the Alliance Special Operations sign, Canon was reviewing the documents in his hands, but his expression was somewhat dazed.
Ever since the last communication with Bemit, he has been keeping a close eye on the movements in China.
Especially the business with the United States, which involved ten computers.
Putting aside the performance of these computers, just having these ten computers means there are so many things we can do.
Based on his understanding of China, he knew that the country had invested heavily in science and technology in recent years.
Even when the people in the country tightened their belts and the workers worked day and night, they never stopped.
Otherwise, where did they get their mushroom bombs?
Otherwise, where did they get their plane?
Otherwise, how could they have distinguished themselves in the space race?
And that is the power of the collective.
This is the power of mobilization.
Once this power is unleashed, it will integrate the resources of the entire society, forming an unparalleled advantage.
This advantage, no matter which direction it is applied, will unleash tremendous energy, an energy that is difficult to match.
Their alliance had also possessed this kind of power and advantage.
At that time, the entire alliance united before the red flag, from the Far East and Western Europe, south to the Indian Ocean and north to the Arctic Ocean…
The entire proletariat marches forward under this banner, invincible and unstoppable.
At that time, the entire league was like it was on a rocket, creating one miracle after another.
At that time, the whole world trembled under this flag.
only…
Over the years, he has clearly felt that the power belonging to the alliance is waning.
Or rather, the close relationship between alliances is weakening!
What he couldn't understand was why this power couldn't be sustained.
What's even more puzzling is why the younger brother from back then was able to persevere all this time, not only without weakening but becoming even stronger.
He watched as the group rose from the mud, gradually gathering their scattered strength, growing stronger little by little, and creating their own miracle.
And each of these miracles will change the landscape of the world.
What he was most worried about was that they would use this power on computers.
In that way, these computers in the United States will become their stepping stones, allowing them to climb onto the table and open up new territories for themselves.
By then, their alliance's advantage will gradually diminish, and their prestige will slowly crumble...
His gaze swept over the latest intelligence, then he tossed it aside.
"There are fewer and fewer of them!"
Canon sighed, bracing himself for the inevitable.
In recent years, as the other side has intensified its surveillance efforts, the amount of intelligence information obtained has become increasingly scarce.
Nowadays, all we get are routine reports; we can't find out anything else important.
Even if you receive a message, it's difficult to get it out.
This lack of information directly affects the difficulty of completing the task.
If he wants to return to Susco, he needs to produce results.
Canon tossed the intelligence files onto the table and picked up the intelligence about the United States again.
The contest between the two sides on the covert front can be described as one where they are intertwined with the other.
Some intelligence may be inaccessible to our own people, but can be obtained through the other side's channels.
My gaze swept over the document at the top.
This is intelligence regarding the United States' investment in industries on the Japanese islands.
"Real estate?"
Canon tapped his fingers on the table, his gaze fixed on a series of economic data changes.
Since Japan allowed foreign investment in real estate development, the Japanese economy has taken a shot in the arm, and its growth has been like a straight line, rising day by day.
In a short period of time, the Japanese economy experienced a major boom.
Driven by this economic growth, the Japanese government began to vigorously develop public works and then continued to develop new housing projects.
Furthermore, it has driven up housing prices to astronomical levels in prime locations.
Intelligence indicates that previously, a family could buy one square meter of housing with a month's hard-earned salary in the suburbs around Edo, but now it would take a year's salary to buy one square meter.
And this data is still increasing.
Under these circumstances, people on the Japanese islands began to borrow money from banks on a large scale, and foreign funds also took the opportunity to intervene.
In this wave, Japan used foreign money to stimulate economic development, while the foreign powers also obtained a lot of funds through bank interest. With these funds, they could then continuously acquire land and build buildings on Japan, creating a continuous cycle.
Canon took off his gold-rimmed glasses, picked up a silk handkerchief from the table and wiped them, but his mind was already preoccupied with how to take advantage of this opportunity.
After thinking it over and over, he never considered the possibility of losing money.
"This is a prime piece of meat; we can't miss it."
With that thought in mind, Canon took a pen and wrote a few words on the intelligence report, then pressed the bell on the table.
Soon there was a knock on the door, and then the secretary walked in.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
The secretary looked respectful as Canon handed the intelligence to him, saying, "Pass it on to Susco as soon as possible!"
"Ok sir."
The secretary turned to leave, but before he could open the door, the door was suddenly pushed open and a man with a gloomy face walked in.
"Mr. Canon, something's happened!"
The visitor strode quickly to the table, completely ignoring the secretary standing to the side.
He then took a telegram from his pocket and placed it on the table.
The secretary glanced at the other person, then quickly left.
This person is in charge of intelligence work on crows and swallows. Judging from this, something big must have happened.
This is not something he should hear.
Canon was also surprised to see the person walk in, and then immediately looked at the telegram on the table.
"Geffen, where is this?"
Canon looked at the information while asking about its source.
The man named Geffen immediately said, "This is something we developed twenty years ago, codenamed Partridge."
"Today, his code red was activated, and it only sent one message!"
As Geffen spoke, Canon had already seen the code. He then immediately took a box from the drawer, opened it, and took out a special notebook.
After confirming that there were no problems, I looked at the last paragraph.
"The red computer has succeeded!"
In an instant, my gaze was fixed on the word "computer".
These three words made him feel suffocated, even as he struggled to breathe.
The worst thing happened.
As expected, the other party wouldn't let the research opportunity slip by. In just a few months, they actually built a computer.
What does this mean?
This indicates that the other party already possesses the hardware facilities for production.
Considering the high-purity silicon extraction technology that even they desire, given the research capabilities they have demonstrated, it's only a matter of time before they surpass existing limitations and create a better computer.
Thinking about this, Canon wanted to arrest those stupid pigs in the United States and shoot them one by one.
Seeing that Canon remained silent for a long time, his subordinate Geffen said anxiously, "Sir, the other side has sent a signal. According to the plan, we need to take action and bring him out."
Canon nodded, but then asked, "How do we respond?"
Geffen was taken aback, then shook his head. "Sir, I... I don't know how to answer."
Canon frowned again, remembering the setbacks he had suffered in the south, and clenched his fist tightly. "Now it will be very difficult for us to get him out."
"As you know, many people have disappeared along transportation lines, and we have no safe routes."
Geffen opened his mouth, then hesitated.
Canon tapped his fingers twice on the table. "Just say what you have to say."
Geffen took a deep breath and then said, "I heard Mr. Gorzenfsky has other plans there, I think that's a good idea..."
"Okay, I get it!"
Before Geffen could finish speaking, Canon immediately interrupted, his expression turning cold and stern.
Geffen swallowed hard, then dared not speak.
He knew that the relationship between Canon and Gorzenfsky was irreconcilable, but he never expected it to have come to this.
They could have worked together to bring the person out, but instead, they disregarded their comrade's life for the sake of saving face.
At the same time, I felt sorry for the partridge and felt it was not worth it!
"You don't need to take responsibility for this; just continue with your work."
"As for that comrade, his contribution record will be archived, and the alliance will remember his contributions!"
"Yes!"
Geffen didn't say much. Being able to come here today and say a word for them was already fulfilling his duty.
As for the loss of the other party, it's not a big deal.
After all, the other party is essentially a disposable item within the system's arrangements.
Being able to deliver this message was worthwhile.
Everything, for the alliance.
Watching his subordinates leave the office, Canon snorted coldly, his face turning ashen.
Asking Gotzenfsky for help would be tantamount to admitting that one is inferior to Gotzenfsky.
If the other person can fall and get back up, why can't he?
With that in mind, Canon focused his attention back on that sentence.
He then slammed his fist on the table, gritting his teeth, "Damn the United States, damn businessmen."
"Do you know what you've done? Dog shit!"
"You've essentially handed them a knife, you stupid bastards."
……
Guancheng.
Looking at the special communication signal that had been sent out, Xu Dabao looked uneasy.
As agreed, the other party would respond quickly and then help him leave.
Once he leaves this place, he will gain honor and money.
He will be able to return to the League.
Then, we can leave this barren world and live a prosperous life.
Whenever he thinks about the days he spent here, Xu Dabao has endless complaints.
Money, coupons, all kinds of tickets!
What the hell is going on?!
Even if you have money, you wouldn't dare to eat lavishly, let alone engage in entertainment activities.
Leaving this place and embracing the future has been his dream for many years.
Now, it's finally about to happen.
Thinking this, Xu Dabao leaned against the mud wall and looked at the straw hanging from the roof.
This is the "safe house" he set up, which he settled in years ago when he went to the countryside to purchase goods.
Although I haven't come here often over the years, I always take a look whenever I pass by.
Now that he's hiding here, he's confident no one can find him.
In a daze, Xu Dabao felt sleepy and leaned against the wall to doze off.
"Hey, wake up, wake up, don't sleep."
In a daze, a voice rang in my ears.
Xu Dabao shook and fussed, initially not feeling anything, then opened his eyes and looked around.
My mind was still a little fuzzy, and I even forgot my own situation.
But the next second, Xu Dabao remembered his own affairs and looked at the young man in front of him, and immediately got up.
The young man then spoke softly, "Don't move around, it will cause misunderstandings, and people could die!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Dabao swallowed hard, his expression filled with panic.
Xiao Bo had a smile on his face and was happy inside.
The guy in front of me is really cunning.
Not only did they deliberately create a diversion, but they also put their clothes on a donkey cart from the countryside, making them travel more than ten miles for nothing.
In the end, Wangcai made three trips back and forth and finally found the other party's whereabouts again.
"This place is nice. Ordinary people don't come back here, and they don't care about the toll. If something happens, there are mountains and forests behind it. Tsk tsk, a good choice."
Xiao Bo stood up, revealing Wangcai beside him, and two guards standing watch behind him.
Upon seeing this, Xu Dabao's eyes turned ashen.
But then, Xu Dabao looked at his watch.
four hours.
Four whole hours have passed!
At this moment, Xu Dabao's face first showed surprise, then disbelief, then disbelief, and finally, disbelief.
crunch
His teeth started chattering involuntarily, blocking his vocal cords, and he couldn't utter the words.
But he knew in his heart that he had been abandoned.
Or perhaps, the other party never took him seriously at all, and it was all just wishful thinking on his part.
"I was so stupid, so really stupid."
Xu Dabao's dry voice rang out, his mind blank.
Xiao Bo sneered from the side; he'd seen plenty of people like that.
To put it bluntly, it's because they're too self-important and think they're so important.
Actually?
It's just toilet paper that other people use and throw away. Oh, saying it's just toilet paper is giving them too much credit, because nowadays using toilet paper is a big deal.
At most, it's just a lump of dirt.
"Let's go. You know the policy. Go back and confess, and you'll be treated leniently; resist, and you'll be punished severely!"
"Tell me properly, it will benefit you!"
After saying that, Xu Dabao put on a new bracelet and was helped out by the two men.
