My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1180 - 1083: I Will Never Give In!

Kill Order?

Wu Jie’s eyebrows rose sharply.

What era is this, to still have such bizarre commands?

Does this mean they want to eliminate me at all costs, by whatever means necessary?

Seeing the change in Wu Jie’s expression, Elder Tan immediately explained:

"This is the result of their internal consultation, with no record of any meeting minutes or formal orders, and they won’t take any public action against you. So even though we know about it, we can’t blow it up into a big issue or openly protest and criticize!"

Wu Jie sneered: "I get it, this matter has made me a thorn in their side, a source of constant irritation; they won’t be at ease until they’ve gotten rid of me!"

Elder Tan gave a strained smile.

"Good that you understand, kid. So, let’s talk about the first issue! At the same time, both the airspace above Baldet City and the aircraft carrier battle group were subject to a very strange attack!"

"It instantly led to the damage of all electronic devices within nearly a hundred kilometers, including unpowered cell phones and rice cookers, causing multiple fighter jets to crash and warships to sustain damage..."

Before Elder Tan could finish, Wu Jie shook his head and chuckled sheepishly.

"Elder Tan, do you really think I’m capable of that? When this incident happened, weren’t we all on a plane suffering from a sudden malfunction?"

"At that time, the engines were inexplicably at full throttle, the fuel consumption was through the roof. How could I attack the Star Federation thousands of kilometers away?"

Elder Tan laughed, "Heh heh."

"That’s what I think too, but the problem is... the other night when you were surrounded by a large number of armed militants, nearly bombed by fighter jets, a very strange phenomenon occurred, as if the sky turned blue!"

"Plus the bizarre incident that happened last night, don’t you think that’s too much of a coincidence? Could it be a third party secretly helping you?"

Wu Jie shrugged: "I don’t know about that, but attacking the Star Federation doesn’t necessarily mean they’re helping me! YL Country and the Star Federation have had a long-standing grudge; it’s normal for them to fight each other, right?"

Elder Tan put away his smile and waved his hand.

"Alright, let’s skip this topic. If we keep this up, it’ll seem like I’m interrogating you!"

"The Star Federation suspects it might be the work of aliens; they can’t investigate clearly, so let’s not waste our energy on it!"

After a slight pause, Elder Tan glanced at Tang Xiao, his expression growing a tad somber.

"However, the second issue is really a bit troublesome! You, my boy, by selling the nuclear warheads to Abulaxi, who’s colluding with YL Country, have already infuriated the Star Federation!"

"They deployed troops and paid a huge price, only to find fake warheads, which has made them even more furious. So, they’re determined to finish you off!"

Wu Jie responded with a wry smile: "Elder Tan, you can’t back out now! When I asked you how to deal with it, you said to bring it back for scrapping and recycling, and I did just that, didn’t I?"

Elder Tan immediately retorted: "But I never told you to sell fake nuclear warheads to Abulaxi and trick him out of over a hundred tons of Gold!"

"If I hadn’t cooperated with Abulaxi, how would I have rescued those five engineers who were hijacked and held captive?"

"This..." Elder Tan was momentarily speechless.

Wu Jie flicked the ash off his cigarette and took a deep drag.

"Besides, if we had told the Star Federation the truth before leaving Nabigu Continent, what do you think they would have done? Would they have paid to get them back?"

"Moreover, their initiation of the Baldet campaign wasn’t solely about forcibly retrieving the nuclear warheads; the more important reason was to strike at YL Country and vie for control over Nabigu Continent, right?"

Elder Tan’s lips twitched slightly.

"We all understand the logic here; I just want to know, how do you plan to deal with this Kill Order?"

"As far as I know, the last person who ’enjoyed’ the treatment of the Star Federation’s Kill Order was that extremist group leader, Ladan!"

"After many years of relentless effort, SEAL Special Operators eventually killed him and his family at home!"

Wu Jie laughed sardonically, "Elder Tan, are you trying to scare me? I’ll just stay in the country from now on, unless there’s a big issue. Are they actually going to send special operators to attack me at my own home?"

"Easy to dodge a spear that’s in the light; hard to guard against an arrow in the dark!" Elder Tan sighed, "We can guard day and night, but there will always be a time when we can’t be vigilant enough. For money and profit, there are always those willing to take the risk!"

"We might ensure absolute safety for a day or two, but what about a year or two, or even longer? And you and your family can’t possibly live in seclusion forever, right?"

Tang Xiao couldn’t hold back anymore.

This matter, after all, was about life and fortune, so she immediately interjected to ask:

"So, Elder Tan, what you mean is, since we can’t guard against it and can’t attack proactively, we only have the option to negotiate peace with the Star Federation?"

Elder Tan looked at Wu Jie with a grave gaze, "I’d like to hear Jie’s opinion first!"

Wu Jie laughed heartily, "What’s there to fear? Let’s just do it!"

Tang Xiao gave him a look and lightly chuckled:

"Jie, at this point, can we stop joking around?"

Wu Jie retorted, "Do you think I look like I’m joking? Negotiate and make peace with the Star Federation? How could that be possible? What did I do wrong to have to go to them hat in hand?"

"They’re the ones who couldn’t keep watch, and because their people were negligent, a nuclear warhead was stolen and nearly auctioned by the Baldet Auxiliary Business Association. I actually helped them recover the nuclear warhead, they should be thanking me!"

"So because I didn’t eagerly return it to them, I did something wrong? How I screw over Abulaxi has nothing to do with them, right? If they really sincerely wanted the nuclear warhead back, they should have taken the initiative to reach out and communicate!"

"Sending fighter jets to intercept us and showing military force, what’s the meaning of that? Using a backdoor in the cargo plane’s avionics system for remote sabotage, what are they trying to pull off? Am I not allowed to have even an ounce of pride? They threaten to kill me, and am I supposed to be scared and submit to them?"

Tang Xiao hurriedly explained, "That’s not what I meant, Jie, you misunderstood..."

Wu Jie waved his hand dismissively, "It’s alright, you don’t need to explain. I know you’re anxious and worried about me."

"How mighty and domineering is the Star Federation! If they’re truly determined to kill me, then I’m bound to live a life of perpetual unrest."

Wu Jie took a deep puff of his cigarette, glancing at Elder Tan, whose expression was serious.

"But the more domineering and aggressive they are, the less I can back down!"

"I want to see for myself, what kind of tricks they’ll play to eliminate me. Bring it on, I’ll take down every single one of them!"

"Let’s see how many of them are not afraid to die, and see who can outlast whom!!"

Tang Xiao bit her red lips tightly, no longer making a sound.

She knew Wu Jie’s temperament.

He doesn’t respond well to soft approaches or hard tactics!

In fact, on the night they were besieged, it didn’t matter whether the Star Federation sent reinforcements to rescue them or not.

But since they wanted the nuclear warhead, why not take the initiative to communicate and negotiate?

And what happened? There was no communication at all.

Upon hearing that Wu Jie sold the nuclear warhead to Abulaxi, they hastily sent troops to wage war. What were they doing earlier?

It seems in the eyes of the Star Federation, whoever found the nuclear warhead should obediently and proactively return it to them.

Wu Jie is not a servant, why should he be so obedient and compliant?

Moreover, Wu Jie has already experienced assassination attempts before.

A while back, a female agent from Mosad named Mayila Moweiqi attempted to assassinate Wu Jie, and later, due to the Liuli City Kong Family case, Wu Jie survived an attempted murder by a corrupt official during a highway opening ceremony.

In addition, Meng Changxin had once hired hitmen to take out Wu Jie, and after the Dongzhou SAM project bidding was successful, Wu Jie survived a series of bombings.

Upon careful reflection, this was not the first time Wu Jie had been targeted in a plot.

But with his decent skill, he turned danger into safety every time.

So what if the Star Federation has a Kill Order?

It would not be so easy to kill Wu Jie on domestic soil.

If Wu Jie stays in the Science Research City, keeping to the intelligence center and focusing on long-term research, who could kill him?

It is the courageous who excel in their craft!

If Wu Jie has the capability, why should he bow down to the Star Federation?

And if we’re talking about negotiating peace, that would be more than just a matter of losing face.

The Star Federation suffered grievous losses in the Baldet Battle, and might even turn things around, demanding compensation from Wu Jie.

Isn’t that just outrageous?

Given Wu Jie’s temperament, as soon as the Star Federation proposes compensation, negotiations would certainly break down on the spot.

Since both parties are so obstinate, knowing full well that a good outcome is impossible, why waste time negotiating for peace?

Realizing this, Tang Xiao turned her gaze towards Elder Tan.

Elder Tan didn’t rush to speak.

He picked up his teacup and took a light sip.

Frowning deeply, he kept pondering and considering.

This is difficult!

Wu Jie is a national treasure in the field of network information technology, a rare and exceptional talent, having developed the widely used Godly Capture APP software, the Security Bureau’s Skynet System, the War Statistics Institute’s Intelligence Analysis System...

At the same time, he is also a scientific genius, inventing the performance-leading Graphene Composite Battery that has changed the energy landscape, and the Detox Pill, a miracle drug claimed to cure all diseases and eradicate the Sakuragi Hana virus...

Moreover, the Science Research City that Wu Jie has invested heavily in is nearing completion. In the future, it will continuously bring forth achievements in new materials, new energy, aerospace, telecommunications, and other fields.

In the current situation, it’s time for economic transformation.

The prosperity of the real estate economy is an illusion, filled with bubbles and dangers.

At the same time, high housing prices and high living costs prevent ordinary people from daring to have children, fall sick, or spend money.

As the elderly population increases, even with the two-child policy fully relaxed, population growth still falls behind the rate of aging.

In the future with too many elderly and too few young people, who will take care of the elderly?

In such a situation, what should be done to ensure the country’s peace and the people’s security?

Delay retirement, allowing the elderly to work a few more years?

With the Detox Pill, the disease rate is greatly reduced, and life expectancy significantly increased; it wouldn’t be too late to retire at eighty.

Completely lifting birth restrictions, allowing everyone to have children as they wish?

That would have no stimulating effect either. The high cost of housing and child-rearing directly deters young people from having children.

To sustain economic prosperity, we need diversified and sustainable economic development.

Those high-energy, high-pollution, low-value industries should be phased out as necessary.

First polluting then remedying just doesn’t work; the earned money and collected taxes won’t cover future medical expenses and ecological restoration.

Firms like Tanglong Industrial Group, engaged in high-added-value industries, should be strongly supported.

Fuel vehicles consume too much energy and pollute too much. Switching to pure electric with Graphene Composite Batteries would have a significant effect on energy saving and emission reduction.

How much money can real estate make? After growth and strengthening the telecommunications industry, the output value can easily reach several trillion a year.

As for more...

Elder Tan no longer has the time to think further.

Anyhow, he absolutely can’t stand the thought of Wu Jie being harmed.

This is also why, when he was intercepted by military jets and provoked by machine gun fire, he got so infuriated that he called in the middle of the night to ask if they wanted to start a war.

But...

The more important Wu Jie is to the country and the people, the more other competing countries want to eliminate him.

They cannot allow someone to keep growing stronger, threatening their hegemonic position.

Putting down his teacup.

Elder Tan spoke earnestly:

"Weakness and concession will only make the other side more aggressive, thinking that we are easy to bully!"

"In this incident, we are actually in control, as they are the ones driven to desperation and showing their ferocity!"

"But if they want to go mad, why should we accompany them? Better to let them go insane, and see how long they can last!"

After a short pause, Elder Tan went on to say:

"Therefore, my suggestion is for you two to go into seclusion and rest for now, not showing yourselves and just watching the changes."

"The defeat in the Baldet Battle will inevitably bring many changes to the Star Federation, so we should stabilize first and not throw ourselves into chaos!"

"After some time, we will see how the situation evolves before making further decisions."

"Who knows, the situation might change, and this Kill Order might become null and void!"

Wu Jie and Tang Xiao looked at each other and nodded.

With a chuckle, Elder Tan reminded:

"You two have been too busy lately. Go back to your hometown and enjoy a proper honeymoon to rest up!"

"Get pregnant sooner, so Old Mr. Tang will stop complaining to me, saying I’m enslaving Jie and that both of you don’t have time to have children!"

"Especially you, Jie, since you are skilled in medicine, why can’t you get Xiao pregnant? There’s nothing wrong with your body, right?"

"If you’re not capable, then hurry to the hospital and get checked!"
