AWAKENING THE DAILY INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM
Chapter 561 - 561: 220, do you know why you lost?_2Chapter 561: 220, do you know why you lost?_2
The engine is like the mechanical heart; if we could fit the Xiaolong-20 fighter jet with the world’s most advanced vectoring engine, then its combat force would be greatly enhanced.
Even matching the currently most advanced American F-22 fighter jet wouldn’t pose too much of a problem.
The importance of air superiority goes without saying.
Looking at modern warfare, not only is there a contest for aerial strike power, but there is also research into near-Earth orbit defense capabilities.
All of these hinge on one critical core issue, which is the engine.
Not to mention going down Russia’s brute force, heavy weaponry path, but at the very least reaching the level of variable vectoring.
…
“Alright, I think I’ll give you a satisfactory response.”
Liu Limin was a straightforward person and didn’t say much else. He stood up and said, “Jingguo brother, I think we should let Lin Mo rest for a bit. How about you accompany me on a trip?”
Although Wu Jingguo currently held no official position, he was privy to a great deal of classified intelligence and had level-one security clearance in Grand Xia.
Therefore, it was completely reasonable, procedurally, for Liu Limin to take him to obtain the variable vectoring engine blueprints.
Moreover, an even more important point was that after meeting with Lin Mo, Liu Limin no longer harbored the same ambitious spirit he had when departing from the Imperial Capital; instead, his heart was growing more uneasy.
Because if Lin Mo’s words were true, it would definitely spark a grand technological revolution in Grand Xia, and to say it would shake the world order was not an exaggeration in the slightest.
After all, not every nation was willing to witness the peaceful rise of Grand Xia.
Wu Jingguo was also a man capable of discerning priorities. Rising from his chair, he said, “Alright, since you say so, I’ll take this trip with you.”
“Lin Mo brother, then we shall meet again tomorrow.”
“If you need any help, feel free to tell Wu here. As long as it’s legal and reasonable, I will do my utmost to help you.”
Unconsciously, even the proud Wu Jingguo had begun to address Lin Mo as a brother, because he was well aware of Lin Mo’s potential and strength.
Moreover, if what Lin Mo said was true, then his future achievements and status would certainly surpass his own.
Lin Mo had no intention of stopping the two men; he couldn’t wait for them to quickly verify the technology in his hands, finish up this troublesome business, and then return home to accompany his wife and children and live a normal, ordinary life.
Having been tied up in these matters for several years, he was actually quite tired.
“Please, go ahead. Since I dared to speak up, it means I trust you. As for me, I don’t really need any help.” Lin Mo thought for a moment, paused for ten-odd seconds, then added, “Oh right, I almost forgot one thing.”
“Elder Liu, when you leave, don’t forget to inform the Western Warzone, especially the troops in Shannan City, that there might be some action from Tianzhu Country tonight. They should be prepared to avoid causing many innocent casualties.”
Hm?
What does this mean?
Is it a threat?
Liu Limin found he was already having trouble following Lin Mo’s train of thought. He wondered why Lin Mo would bring up such a matter at this particular time?
There was indeed constant friction along the border between Grand Xia and Tianzhu Country, but both sides have always been relatively restrained. Even with minor skirmishes, they usually revolved around cold weapons, and casualties were not common—most injuries would be among the soldiers of both sides.
But now, Lin Mo is saying there might be big trouble tonight?
Is this his arrangement?
Or is it…
By now, Lin Mo had largely figured out Liu Limin’s personality and knew that he tended to be very speculative with many thoughts. Mentioning this out of the blue would surely arouse his suspicion.
Lin Mo didn’t want to explain too much, because the more he explained, the more loopholes there would be.
The reason he mentioned this was simply because the system had provided the intelligence, and it clearly told Lin Mo that there would be many casualties among the soldiers tonight.
Lin Mo simply didn’t want to see so many casualties among his own country’s soldiers.
A reminder was also a form of moral duty; whether the other side listened or not was not for Lin Mo to consider.
He had, at least, acted with a clear conscience!
“All right, I’ll remember what you’ve said and I’ll pass it on to them,” he said.
Liu Limin stood up from the chair, without lingering too long, turned, pushed open the door of the office, and stepped out.
“Take care, young friend Lin Mo,” Wu Jingguo also stood up to leave.
After they had left, the office was left with only Lin Mo by himself.
Of course,
even though there were no people around, Lin Mo was very aware that in the unseen corners of the room, countless eyes were still watching him.
Those people would magnify every minute expression of his, analyze the cadence of his every word, and attempt through these external things to guess his most genuine thoughts.
But it didn’t matter,
since Lin Mo had made his way back, he had taken every precaution and wasn’t worried that such a situation would arise.
Anyway, what he had said came straight from the heart; he wasn’t afraid of anyone analyzing or discussing it.
There was a bed in the office, and seeing that no one was likely to come looking for him that night, having nothing else to do, Lin Mo simply walked over to the folding bed, straightened out a few things on it, then lay down himself, closing his eyes to rest.
He had done everything he could; now it was up to Grand Xia to decide how to deal with him.
If things went as he wished, so much the better; if not, he would have to swiftly embark on his second contingency plan.
On the other end,
after Liu Limin and Wu Jingguo had left the office, they walked one in front of the other, a distance of roughly two steps apart.
The police officers in the surrounding offices were numerous, and pairs of eyes converged on the two men.
Some of the newer officers might not recognize Wu Jingguo or know what this big shot had done in the past, but all present recognized Liu Limin.
The mere fact that the two could walk together indicated that Wu Jingguo was certainly no simple character.
They were all curious about how Lin Mo would be dealt with, and it had become the only topic of interest they could discuss after their mobile phones and other communication devices had been confiscated, and even the computers in the office weren’t connected to the internet.
Liu Limin did not look at the surrounding officers. As he reached the corner of the staircase, he slowed his pace slightly, waiting for Wu Jingguo to pass by and then said, “Jingguo, let’s put aside our personal grievances for the time being, and I hope you can also let go of some of the past enmities when it comes to matters of the state.”
“I want to ask you, what do you think of Lin Mo after what just happened?”
“Do you think what he said is… reliable?”
It was hard for Wu Jingguo to suppress his temper around Liu Limin.
Even though there was quite a big age difference between them, Wu Jingguo couldn’t help but feel anger and disdain.
He snorted coldly and said, “Elder Liu flatters me too much. I’m just a retired old man who’s out of the loop; I can’t analyze these things.”
“You mean…”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Liu Limin’s gaze become intense, and he said in a heavy voice word by word, “Jingguo, I admit that I did you wrong before, and I acknowledge that your personal abilities are superior to mine.”
“But do you know why you lost at that time?”
Suddenly bringing up the past, Wu Jingguo’s brow furrowed involuntarily, and his complexion gradually darkened.
Clearly, he didn’t want to discuss this topic.
However, Liu Limin did not take the hint to change the subject but intensified his approach and continued, “Your insights and abilities are superior to mine, your experience and methods in problem-solving are also unmatched by me, and even in terms of emotional intelligence, you are far beyond me.”
“Yet in the end, I went to the Imperial Capital, and since then you bid farewell to this stage, ostensibly becoming an ordinary retired old man who doesn’t concern himself with worldly affairs but just loves collecting.”
“I thought you were preparing for a comeback; instead, you’ve been down and out all these years. Have you really not figured out why you were overlooked back then?”
