"It should be a laser emitted from the ground in China," the staff concluded after carefully examining the angle of the laser.

"Land-based launch? It destroyed our satellite!"

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Defense turned pale and felt a surge of fear.

When did China's laser weapons develop to this stage?

This is a huge threat; we must find a way to get more information!

Otherwise, he can't sleep peacefully!

The Minister of Defense racked his brains, trying to come up with a solution.

First, pin the blame on China, condemning them for destroying civilian satellites without cause and violating agreements on the peaceful use of outer space!

Soon, the Starlink CEO received a call from the Department of Defense.

"What? One of our company's satellites has been destroyed?"

Upon receiving the call, the Starlink CEO was completely bewildered. His company's satellite had been destroyed, and he had no idea.

"Sir, your company's satellite was destroyed by a Chinese laser weapon. This must be true, and you must issue a condemnation immediately!"

The Starlink CEO fell silent for a moment; he understood after that phone call.

It's not the first or second time that the US government has resorted to sending its own people to take the lead when it's inconvenient to do so directly.

Even Starlink itself collaborates with official entities and shares information.

However, I still need to get paid!

"What will I get in return?" the Starlink CEO bargained.

"All satellite launch and procurement contracts for the Ministry of National Defense next year!" came a subdued voice from the other end of the phone.

"make a deal!"
