Xing Baohua never imagined that selling a mobile phone and computer would attract four major sects, who not only spy on his technology but also want his life.
Look at MD's methods in Hong Kong, it's like something out of a blockbuster movie. Then look at the non-mainland hired teams, they're worlds apart. Even if you beat Xing Baohua to death, he wouldn't believe this is the work of the four major factions.
As for the person from the U.S. military, he might be a KGB employee or someone from another organization. But using such crude methods to call in a non-mainland security force—what kind of act is this?!
This mercenary group that came here for comedic effect is no longer important. Just treat it as a minor incident, but the intentions of the people behind it still need to be investigated.
Watching Captain Han continue working on that mind map on the paper, connecting the relationships between the characters.
The conclusion was still completely baffling.
Normally, if you infiltrate someone, you must have a purpose; perhaps you'll remain hidden, or perhaps your value will only be revealed when you're put to use.
Take Hou Qian for example, Xing Baohua's future relative. Her family is well-off, but the things she does seem abnormal.
So Captain Han circled her name. Currently, many clues seem to suggest that Hou Qian is normal and conforms to common sense. However, as Captain Han said, something just doesn't feel quite right.
Now we can only guess to prevent their next move.
We can't predict the future, so we can only wait for something to happen and then get the evidence, but that would be more likely to cause significant losses.
Hou Qian can't say she's watching 24/7, but she's under surveillance most of the time and can detect any movements, giving early warnings.
The only thing that made the monitoring staff complain was that the sexual activity was too frequent; you can't have children that often.
"How do you think she would find out that her ex-husband and child are dead?" Captain Han asked Xing Baohua.
"You mean someone will try to contact her? Maybe it's her organization?" Xing Baohua asked after a moment's thought.
But then he changed the subject and asked, "MD has reached an agreement, and MD will risk using his channels to give her the information. Doesn't that increase the risk of exposure?"
After Xing Baohua finished speaking, Captain Han took out another piece of paper and wrote down "Internet" and "Satellite." He then drew a figure-eight under each of the two words and categorized them accordingly.
Below the network name are listed websites, forums, and servers.
Below the satellite, the words "telephone" and "data" are written.
After finishing, I asked Xing Baohua, "Can pagers transmit text messages via satellite?"
"As long as there is a data stream from the satellite, any text, audio, image, or video can be transmitted. That's not called paging; it's just that the two wireless frequency bands have different functions," Xing Baohua explained.
Xing Baohua looked up at Captain Han, her eyes seeming to ask why he brought this up.
When it comes to wireless knowledge, Captain Han knows a lot of theories, but this question makes him seem quite ignorant.
"Have you ever heard of information warfare theory?" Captain Han asked, looking into Xing Baohua's eyes.
Xing Baohua initially shook his head, then nodded. He had only heard the name but hadn't read the content. However, his background was in communications, so he understood the meaning just from the title.
"Where did you hear that from?"
"The newspaper!"
"How come I didn't know?"
"..." Xing Baohua had no way to explain himself; how could he possibly explain this?
Seeing Xing Baohua remain silent, Captain Han stopped pressing the matter and continued, "The information warfare theory of 1986 was proposed by a staff officer who had fought in South Vietnam. After returning to China, he continued to research this area, and through his work unit's recommendation, he entered the National People's Congress to conduct theoretical research, which was then recognized."
The theory suggests that future warfare will be primarily electronic and information-based, mainly utilizing satellites for information transmission, network building, and electronic suppression when necessary.
"Captain Han, I'm just a guy who sells cell phones and computers."
"Yes! I know, isn't it because the NSA, the Federal Security Service, has been asking you to cooperate? Why cooperate? Isn't it to get more information? Why aren't you allowed to participate in the satellites you invested in? It's because they're afraid that in case of war, you could control those things in the sky. Don't you understand that?"
"I understand! But you're talking to me about information warfare, which is not something a small businessman like me can participate in. I mean, I just want to make a little money." Xing Baohua was afraid that the other party would mention requisitioning him!
He has already contributed quite a bit, and since he is a rootless individual, with almost all four major sects involved, he should hand it over to protect his life from danger!
It's not surprising that Xing Baohua thought that way; such a difference in social class was not something a small businessman like him could get involved in.
Captain Han pointed to the words "network" and "satellite" and said, "You have both. The rise of the rice industry is too fast. You know about Motorola's mobile phones; they can eavesdrop on signals from 800 meters away. Your rice phone can only achieve ultra-long-range eavesdropping because of the software added to its system. Only the rice phone in the world can serve as an information platform."
"In less than three years, rice will no longer be the only option. Nokia, Ericsson, and several Japanese brands will emerge, and Samsung is also developing its own. Soon, rice will face very strong competitors."
"The rice industry is moving too fast; it's hard to avoid becoming the focus. The ministry has studied this and believes that it's better to guide than to block. If necessary, we can sell the system technology and get everyone involved so we can fish in troubled waters?"
Xing Baohua understood what Captain Han meant: they had cracked the American's program, which gave them the confidence to go big.
Perhaps this would reduce spies within the rice industry?
I feel like something's not quite right, but I can't quite put my finger on it. My brain feels like it's stuck at home today, unable to keep up with the information flow!
