This emergency secret meeting of the foreign intelligence department was directly initiated by the central government, and Mr. Zhou was among them.
Not long after he and Grandma Deng returned home in the early morning, a red phone on the desk in the study rang rapidly.
The old man had just been lying in bed for a while when he sat up the moment he heard the phone ringing. Then, without any hesitation, he got out of bed and went to the study in his slippers.
When he learned from the receiver what happened in Magnesium and South Korea, the old man's pupils immediately shrank. At the same time, the name of a country appeared in his mind, North Korea.
It’s nothing, it’s just that what happened in North Korea more than a month ago is still vivid in our minds.
In this world, if you ask which country hates Mexico and South Korea the most, it must be North Korea.
After hanging up the phone, the old man picked up another black phone and called Chen Jin directly.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Chen Jin arrived and followed the old man into the car driven by Liang Chao and disappeared into the night.
Xu Jianguo naturally didn't know what happened in the center, but he had anticipated the reactions of the two countries, Magnesium and South Korea, after the explosion before he implemented the plan.
In his prediction, North Korea, the Soviet Union, Longxia, as well as countries such as Egypt, Jordan and Syria that suffered heavy losses in the Third Middle East War, will all become suspects of the United States and South Korea.
But in Xu Jianguo's opinion, the biggest suspect is not North Korea and Longxia, but another superpower, the Soviet Union. After all, the two countries are still in the Cold War.
Moreover, at the explosion site, the two countries did not detect any harmonious radiation or pollution sources, so even if Longxia Country owns the giant mushroom, it is not the biggest suspect.
As for North Korea, although this country can be considered a mortal enemy with South Korea and the United States, its military strength is there, and it is unlikely to do such a thing.
Therefore, while the secret meeting of the foreign intelligence department was going on, in the White House's office in the capital of the United States, Defense Minister Edward had already placed the analysis report compiled by the Intelligence Bureau on his desk.
The one who is most suspected among them is Su Lian.
The suspicion of Longxia Kingdom is actually the smallest. In addition to the assessment of military strength, the breakdown of relations between Longsu Kingdom and Longxia Kingdom has also become an important assessment factor. Even the head of the Asia-Pacific region of the Magnesium Intelligence Agency wants to exclude it from the list of suspects.
However, considering that doing so might cause him trouble, he still included the name of Longxia Kingdom in the analysis report.
…
During the secret meeting of foreign affairs intelligence, the staff compiled the intelligence information that could be collected at present into written documents and distributed them to the participants.
After reading the information, the bosses did not speak immediately, but frowned and thought.
Five minutes later, the old man sitting at the head of the table snuffed out his cigarette and said, "Notify all major military commands to begin combat readiness and duty! Keep a close eye on the movements of South Korea and Magnesium's military bases in the Asia-Pacific region."
"Yes!" A middle-aged man in military uniform stood at attention and answered. After that, he quickly walked out of the meeting room.
After the middle-aged man left, the old man lit another cigarette and slowly said, "Based on the current situation, we will definitely become the object of suspicion. However, based on my understanding of the Magnesium people, Su Lian is their main suspect."
"That's right. After all, their current relationship isn't very good, and they're still engaged in an arms race. Coupled with their powerful intelligence departments, I think the Sulian people are very likely aware of what happened in North Korea, and they're using this incident to make us and North Korea take the blame!"
"That's indeed a possibility, and it's very likely. After all, Heluo Xiaofu is not a good person, and his successor, Borezhnev, is not much better!"
Following Number One's first speech, other bigwigs also expressed their opinions.
After a long while, the old man stubbed out his cigarette and said, "He Lu Xiaofu was from the Soviet Union before he went to Magnesium, but after his visit, he became a Magnesian. Ever since the war in the north began, I've constantly reminded myself to never trust Magnesium. If we trust them, at best, our country will be in trouble, and at worst, our people will perish! Furthermore, in my opinion, Magnesium has no intention of engaging in a military confrontation with the Soviet Union. Its fundamental goal is to bring down the Soviet Union's economy. It's a tactic called luring the tiger away from the mountain! If this incident was truly done by the Soviet Union, then Porezhnev was clearly tricked by the Magnesians and will one day pay the price! The Magnesians are too cunning. Perhaps one day, we will establish diplomatic relations with Magnesium and enter a honeymoon period, but no matter what, we must never trust Magnesium! So, regarding this matter, my attitude is to neither explain nor respond. I will closely monitor developments. If they want to throw mud at us, then we don't mind fighting them again."
As the old man finished his speech, everyone knew what he was really thinking.
The people of Longxia have never been afraid of war. They have overcome the most difficult times. How much worse can it get?
…
Xu Jianguo came back home after running. He first took Xiao Hei to the door to brush off the snow on his body, and then opened the door and walked in.
After looking at the watch on his wrist, Xu Jianguo took off his cotton jacket, sat on the sofa, picked up the phone and dialed.
"Hello?!"
As the familiar voice came from the receiver, Xu Jianguo's mouth curled up slightly and said with a smile: "Commander, Happy New Year!"
That’s right, Xu Jianguo’s first New Year’s greeting call was to Ma Guoliang who was in Fengzhou Military Region.
Ma Guoliang was stunned when he received the call, and then he immediately burst into laughter happily.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year! You little brat, it's too early to call me. I thought the military district wanted to talk to me about something!" Ma Guoliang said unhappily.
"Hey, I just came back from a run, so I thought I'd give you a call to wish you a happy new year. Is Auntie up yet?"
"Wake up, wait a minute!"
After waiting for a while, Lin Wan answered the phone, and Xu Jianguo said a lot of auspicious words, making her laugh continuously.
"How's Xiaowen?"
"I was just thinking of telling you, she's pregnant with her third child and hasn't gotten up yet! When she does, I'll have her call you to wish you a happy new year!"
"Really? Okay, okay! Don't wake her up, let her sleep, make sure she gets enough sleep!"
"Well, I know, don't worry!"
After finishing the call with Lin Wan, Xu Jianguo chatted with Ma Guoliang for a few more words and then hung up the phone.
Afterwards, he called Dong Jixiang, Liu Zhigang, Tian Yongjiang, as well as Wu Dajiang and others who were far away in Dawali Farm to wish them a happy new year.
Only after confirming that no one was left behind did Xu Jianguo breathe a sigh of relief and return to the space with Xiao Hei.
