AWAKENING THE DAILY INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM

Chapter 661: Lin Mo on the tremendous enhancement of national power_2 Chapter 661: Lin Mo on the tremendous enhancement of national power_2 “I now need to take charge of the command post and understand as much as possible about the situation inside the concert, as well as the casualties among our soldiers,”

“Although they are not afraid to bleed or to make sacrifices, I cannot tolerate unnecessary injuries or fatalities among my colleagues.

Additionally, we must acknowledge that the terrorists inside are very professional, and they also have very professional weaponry, even external support.”

“What’s more, they are crazed and even inhumane, so this spells great trouble for the police officers who just rushed in.”

“As for specific plans and internal details, once I have a thorough understanding of the situation inside the concert, I will explain it to the public again if necessary.”

“Thank you for your concern!”

This speech was very polite and very official.

Although it lacked substantive content, at least it wasn’t sleep-inducing.

The reporter was clearly very satisfied with this response and didn’t press the police officials further but turned to ask the military officer in charge, a lieutenant colonel.

Their statements were quite similar, with the core message being the refusal to negotiate and a commitment to eliminate all the terrorists inside the concert as quickly as possible.

The interview soon ended, and the reporters began to establish the focal points of the interview and started preparing to organize and publish the related news, with the whole process being very swift and effective.

As the most professional news media in the Northern Border, they had the ability to do so.

…

Moreover, during the interview, neither the interviewing reporters nor the two officials interviewed mentioned how to protect the audience at the concert or how to prevent more casualties among them.

It wasn’t a matter of negligence but a deliberate avoidance of the issue.

That’s where the real power of the news media lies because even if the quotes received aren’t suitable for broadcasting, they can use various rules or propaganda techniques to report with a bias.

Anyway, the public’s nerves are very fragile; misleading them is not a difficult task.

Indeed, it turned out exactly as they anticipated.

Once their interview videos were uploaded to the internet, the praise was almost unanimous.

Even if some people objected, they would instantly be drowned out by the overwhelming majority of voices.

On this front, almost all countries operate the same way, which is why the rise of the internet has been so closely watched by governments in the new era.

Because it’s really very useful.

…

A thousand miles away.

In Grand Xia, Imperial Capital.

Within a courtyard in the suburbs.

The National Elder was playing chess with another elder.

The battle on the board was intense, with a single misstep from either side possibly resulting in complete defeat.

Yet despite their fierce engagement, both elders were relaxed in tone and movement, as if the chessboard in front of them didn’t exist.

For personages like them, of course, such nonchalance wasn’t difficult to achieve.

Soon,

the game of chess concluded, and the National Elder emerged victorious.

However, this victory did not come easily; he had seized an opening in his opponent’s defense, and it was through chasing down this advantage that he won.

The National Elder was well aware,

that with his status, there weren’t many who would dare beat him.

Even if his chess skills were not outstanding, that was the key reason he could win battle after battle.

The elder took a sip from the cup of top-quality tea beside him and then said with a smile, “National Elder, your chess skills are improving at an astonishing speed.

If this continues, I genuinely fear I will soon no longer be a match for you!”

The highest art of flattery is not about overt brown-nosing but about subtlety and method.

Take the elder before him, for instance.

He would never be so blunt; instead, he would occasionally let himself win a game or two to arouse his opponent’s competitive spirit, and then at the crucial moment, he would lose the entire match by a very narrow margin.

This would give his opponent the impression of a challenging encounter, a hard-won victory.

The more it went on, the more exhilarating it became, and each time the opponent remembered playing chess, he would also remember him.

The National Elder, aware of these tactics, did not call him out.

Moreover, he could understand the psychology of these individuals; he would likely make the same decisions if he were in their shoes.

Many things don’t need to be brought to the public eye, nor is there any necessity for them to be.

The National Elder smiled as he placed his chess piece down, casually remarking, “Actually, your chess skills are much better than mine, winning was just a stroke of luck.”

“Alright, let’s talk about serious matters now.”

“How is the research on the vector engine going?”

The elder knew this question was bound to be asked, and he had already prepared an answer in advance.

However, he didn’t immediately respond, but after pondering for a moment, he pretended to see the whole picture and said, “Things are mostly handled; what needed to be installed has been installed, and we’ve already nailed down foreign trade agreements with some countries.”

“As long as there are no issues with the follow-up tests, we can immediately form a complete industrial chain, and even get ahead of those countries to capture a large portion of the market.”

“As for the economic value, making around ten billion should not be too problematic.”

Ten billion is an astronomical figure for an individual, but for the entire scale of Grand Xia, that’s really not much.

They truly have no interest in money, and they genuinely don’t need it either.

The National Elder’s focus is not on money.

The elder understood this and simply mentioned a rough figure before continuing, “Additionally, this export has brought us closer to those countries, so following up cooperation should be no issue.”

“Moreover, once our vector engine makes its appearance, it will inevitably create a huge stir.

Future orders will undoubtedly be plentiful, and those countries will grow even closer to us.”

“For the influence of our nation, this is a significant improvement!”

Indeed,

at their level, they no longer consider making money; instead, they consider the overall influence of the nation.

Peace is the main theme of this era.

But that’s impossible,

there’s a very severe imbalance in the distribution of resources on this planet, and disparities in national power, with the gaps between people even greater than that between humans and dogs.

As long as these gaps exist, it’s impossible to maintain balance; eventually, there will be conflicts for all sorts of reasons.

This is the inevitable truth.

For a country like Grand Xia that doesn’t want to engage in war, increasing national power and deterring others from starting conflicts is paramount, and international influence is key.

After all, everyone has nuclear weapons, and no one would act rashly to attack another’s territory.

Peace is established on such a foundation.

The National Elder felt naturally pleased to hear about getting closer to those countries but did not show it, simply remarking indifferently, “This is very good news, and it is our best opportunity to make our way onto that land.”

“After the vector engine is introduced, other collaborations must also be promptly scheduled.

We cannot afford to be left behind in this era, otherwise, who knows how many more years it will take for our rise.”

“I don’t even need to say this, all of you are well aware of it in your hearts.”

“Oh, by the way.”

“Where is that young man named Lin Mo now?”

“We owe a lot to him for the vector engine, didn’t he go on a trip?”

“Have you thought about how to reward him?”

This is another very important issue.

It’s not just that Lin Mo’s actions have astonished them greatly, but most importantly, he still has many weapon equipment blueprints and technology in his hands.

The significance of those technologies is even far greater than the vector engine they’ve just gained.

With such a treasure trove, how could people not covet it?
