Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 718 - 408. Major Achievements_3

"This guy named Zhao Jie is really well hidden. If not for the strong AI intelligence of the ’Heaven Reaching Tower System’, we might not have discovered how this guy transmits information."

"The Heaven Reaching Tower System is an era-defining information network system. No matter how cunning the spy is, as long as they still use the network, they will definitely be caught by the Heaven Reaching Tower System."

"Speaking of which, the Carmenians really are cunning, actually recruiting a Xia descendant who has never set foot in Carmenia Federation to be a spy."

"Last year, the Carmenians’ intelligence network in our country suffered a devastating blow, with over a thousand spies arrested and sent to the northwest to build roads. They dare not be careless now."

"I heard that those above somewhat regret it, shouldn’t have been so ruthless. They should have left some spies, to use their mouths to convey some information."

"So this is the reason why Zhao Jie hasn’t been dealt with yet?"

"It’s just a temporary hold. The Exotic Materials Research Institute is too important, and at most, Zhao Jie will be sent to the plateau in half a year. Hopefully, he can live for a few more years and contribute a little to the Great Xia people."

Few people know that Great Xia has already begun developing mineral resources in the plateau region.

Great Xia injected compliance drugs into some serious convicts. This drug causes some damage to the brain but ensures absolute obedience to orders.

The relevant departments then organized the prisoners, using a "machine-enforced learning" black technology method to forcibly instill knowledge into their brains, which also causes some brain damage.

Then these prisoners are organized, each equipped with a helmet specifically for remotely controlling Tianfu Craft One exoskeletons and sent in batches to the plateau region to work on road construction and other basic infrastructures.

After the Age of Calamity arrived, the climate environment on the plateau became harsher, and using prisoners greatly reduces personnel losses.

Ten minutes later.

Great Xia Foreign Affairs Department.

An official dialed the contact number of Dongli Kingdom’s foreign affairs office.

The ringtone sounded for a full ten seconds, with no one answering the phone on the other side.

But this was not surprising.

After all, so much has happened in Dongli Kingdom, the leader was shot in the head, the deputy leader just took over and then resigned in fear, the entire official scene is in chaos, such situations are inevitable.

Thirty seconds later.

The call was connected.

The Great Xia official, following fixed foreign affairs etiquette, first expressed regret over the leader’s assassination, then offered assistance for the frost disaster in Guangren City.

As expected, Dongli Kingdom’s foreign affairs personnel directly rejected the Great Xia official’s proposal, stating their country can handle the frost disaster on their own.

The Great Xia official didn’t say much, merely gave a courteous wish for Dongli Kingdom’s good fortune, then proactively ended the call.

He put down the phone and smiled, saying, "This task was quite simple."

An assistant standing by asked in confusion, "What’s the purpose of those above doing this?"

The foreign affairs official affirmed, "I think the goal is to let the Carmenians know that Great Xia is very concerned about Guangren City."

He paused, then casually remarked, "These Dongli people really don’t understand."

The assistant nodded, also somewhat puzzled, "I really don’t know where their confidence comes from, thinking they can handle the frost disaster."

The foreign affairs official retorted, "Maybe if all the Dongli people in Guangren City die, that’s a way to handle it. If there are no people in Guangren City, it means there’s no problem."

On the other side of Canglan Star.

Carmenia Federation.

White Stone City.

JICA Headquarters, Great Xia Intelligence Department.

Given that Great Xia is the Federation’s number one opponent and also the most dangerous enemy.

So within JICA, the importance of Great Xia Intelligence Department is second only to the domestic intelligence department, receiving a substantial budget every year.

The intelligence transmitted back by Zhao Jie immediately received high attention from the Great Xia department.

Several intelligence officials gathered to discuss, then combined information from other aspects, uniformly reaching a conclusion.

"The frost disaster area in Guangren City surely hides something significant, otherwise Great Xia Foreign Affairs Department wouldn’t actively contact Dongli Kingdom to offer support."

"The Exotic Materials Research Institute in Great Xia Capital just achieved a major breakthrough. I believe this breakthrough must be related to the frost disaster because just ten minutes after the institute’s celebration began, Great Xia Foreign Affairs Department made the call. This is definitely not a coincidence."

"Great Xia People are also using communication black technology to cause trouble in Dongli Kingdom, with the Federation’s bases constantly harassed. This clearly shows Great Xia is trying to prevent us."

"Half an hour ago, a Superpower User squad from the Federation lost contact in the frost disaster area. Now it seems this is definitely related to Great Xia."

The officials each spoke, putting together fragmented pieces into a complete "picture."

The more they discussed, the more certain they became, and everyone was filled with a sense of excitement at "discovering a major secret."

The highest official of the department summarized, "I believe it’s necessary to immediately report to Azure Palace and urge the bases on the Dongli Kingdom side to start acting quickly."

Other officials unanimously expressed agreement.

"The faster the better!"

"We absolutely cannot let Great Xia get ahead."

"The Federation already missed Celestial Mountain. This time the Federation cannot miss again."

The official, feeling a noble sense of mission, loudly said, "I will report to the higher-ups right away."

Five minutes later.

The official joyfully informed his subordinates of the result, "Azure Palace highly values our intelligence. The Grand Commander has decided to personally contact the bases on the Dongli Kingdom side, ordering them to speed up."

*

The perspective shifts back to Dongli Kingdom’s Han Guang City at Hanlai Base.

General Douglas put down the phone, sighed with a worried expression.

As the commanding officer of the base, he knew more intelligence and deeply understood how perilous the situation was.

Honestly.

The General genuinely didn’t want to send any troops into the dead zone of Guangren City.

But Azure Palace absolutely wouldn’t listen to his explanations, firmly demanding that the stationed troops take action.

General Douglas sat dazed for a while, cursed angrily, "Damn bureaucrats!"

The adjutant stood nearby, ignoring his surroundings as if he hadn’t heard anything.

The General, with a solemn face, issued an order, "Order the 156th and 157th divisions to immediately enter the Guangren City area."

"Yes!"

The adjutant responded loudly.
