My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1908: Quite Extraordinary
He seemed rather absent-minded, somewhat annoyed at heart. Didn’t this man know that the main point was later?
It was quite vexing that after finally seizing the chance to do him a favor, he appeared indifferent to the matters that followed.
However, she kept her composure. The news was so startling; she couldn’t believe he wouldn’t take it seriously.
"But the focus this time is not on the downed warplane, rather, according to the intelligence from the agents my father sent abroad, the crash of this warplane has sparked an unbelievable event. Do you know what it collided with at the crash site?"
Lie Fengzi deliberately kept him in suspense, drawing Ji Lingkong’s attention back. She spoke with a touch of pride, as her father worked at a crucial foreign military intelligence agency, handling important first-hand information weighing heavily, hence even the top councilman would woo her father and extend him some courtesy.
This time, she gave Ji Lingkong such crucial news, which wasn’t a simple favor.
Listening to her mysterious and profound words, Ji Lingkong indeed showed some interest.
"What did it collide with, could it be an alien?"
"Young Master Ling Kong, even if it were aliens, that wouldn’t be so rare. It’s said that this warplane uncovered a secret in Yalan Country, which had been lurking for years! That is, at the crash site, Eagle discovered a secret military base, unearthing numerous shocking weapon facilities."
Ji Lingkong was taken aback, genuinely surprised, as Yalan Country had been under sanctions for years, yet a secret military base was uncovered, which was a dangerous affair. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"They certainly have guts to secretly manufacture banned weapons while under sanctions. Yalan Country’s government has always been quite compliant; are they bold enough to do this?" Recently, when interacting with the Yalan government, those officials seemed not particularly spirited.
Two decades ago, Yalan Country’s renowned advanced technology and national vigor were almost worn down by the sanctions over the past decade.
Currently in power were a bunch of spineless softies; those spirited enough to resist have all joined the rebels.
In comparison, he admired the courage and pride of the rebels more. After being oppressed for years, they finally erupted with an innate fury, wishing to resist and reclaim the country’s dignity instead of being subjected to control from stronger nations.
Unfortunately, from the political standpoint of Aus Empire, Aus hoped Yalan was a weak and chaotic country to better exert control. Eagle presumably thought similarly but aimed to seize Yalan’s resources, while Aus hoped to establish a military base in Yalan to ease suppressing Eagle’s further strengthening.
Thus ironically, this aid to pacify the rebels in Yalan Country was mainly based on Aus’s interests, not truly intended to act as a peacekeeper.
"According to intelligence, it doesn’t seem that simple; it appears that these weapons have some history. Eagle is very excited, as if they’ve unearthed a colossal treasure, judging by their reaction, this stuff is quite extraordinary."
Ji Lingkong lifted his chin slightly, mulling over for a moment.
Given Yalan Country’s current technology, even if they were secretly manufacturing, their produced weapons wouldn’t be worth mentioning at all. Eagle, being a military powerhouse, has always been at the forefront of global standards regarding weapon research, competing fiercely with Aus Empire.
