Norton is actually a Hungarian, not a native of the United States.

He came here to pursue the wish in his heart.

Because the United States is one of the most powerful countries in the world, at least, now.

Therefore, Norton has to rely on the power of the United States to fulfill his dream of conquering the world.

He thought he was the smartest person in the world, but he didn't expect to meet Wheat Ear.

Although he and Mai Sui had only known each other for one day, the thinking of people like Norton could not be judged by ordinary people's standards.

Norton has made up his mind not to let Wheat leave.

That's why he brought it to his old nest, Archimedes Base.

Because from the moment Mai Sui stepped into this base, she would never be able to leave again!

Naturally, there will be no problem of leaks.

As for Dong Wenli and others who were with Mai Sui, Norton never considered them at all.

Because it doesn't matter.

If you are obedient, keep you; if you are disobedient, kill you. It’s that simple!

Anyway, it's impossible to let them leave alive.

Because, for any outsider who has been to the Archimedes Base, there are only two outcomes.

Or stay at the base for the rest of your life and serve the United States.

Or leave as a corpse.

In Norton's eyes, Dong Wenli and others are just garbage that can be disposed of at will.

If Norton hadn't been afraid of scaring Mai Sui, he would have ordered them to be killed right now.

As for how to explain to China, this is not a problem Norton needs to consider. That is the job of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Norton belongs to the Ministry of Defense and doesn't care how the Ministry of Foreign Affairs negotiates. He just wants results.

The United States’ Ministry of Defense is different from China’s Ministry of Defense.

The United States' Ministry of National Defense can command military operations. Agencies such as the Army Department, the Navy Department, and the Air Force Department are all subordinate to the Ministry of National Defense and obey the Ministry of National Defense's dispatch.

China's Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of the Military have separate responsibilities and are not subordinate to each other.

This shows that the United States' Ministry of Defense has enormous power.

The United States Ministry of Foreign Affairs has great power, but in the words of the Ministry of Defense, it is just a talker. The country's strength ultimately depends on the guns in the hands of the Ministry of Defense.

Therefore, Norton was not worried at all about any disturbance at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Because there’s no point in making a fuss!

Sure enough, when Foreign Minister Oxteen learned that Norton had brought Mai Sui and others to the Archimedes base, he immediately understood Norton's intention and became furious.

Although he had thought about breaking the contract, he had not put it into action yet.

Norton acted first and reported later, which clearly showed that he did not take their Ministry of Foreign Affairs seriously.

This is what makes Oxten angry!

The key is that you just pat your butt and hide in the base, not caring about anything, leaving him with a mess.

He did it well, it was his duty.

If you mess up, it means you are incompetent.

Tell me, who would be happy if this happened to them?

So, Oxteen personally went to Defense Minister Eric to argue.

Eric has known Oxten for many years, so he is still familiar with his temper.

Oxten is a typical person who responds to soft words but not hard ones. He likes to be flattered and praised by others.

But Norton is not an ordinary person. Sometimes he doesn't even give face to Eric, let alone Oxten.

Eric prescribed the right remedy and complained with Oxtin about how Norton relied on his own ability to look down on them, then he treated Oxtin to a meal and some drinks, and the matter was over.

Oxteen knew very well that Eric would not really punish Norton.

All he wants is an attitude.

So, he followed the steps Eric handed to him and went down by himself.

Seeing this, Eric changed the subject and asked Oxten:

"By the way, what has Wang Shaohui been doing recently? Why hasn't he come to redeem her? That An Lisu has been staying with us for three days!"

"It should be soon. I heard from the people who are responsible for monitoring him that he has been very close to Sherman from the Ministry of Commerce recently. He may want Sherman's help to rescue people."

Thinking of An Lishu's identity, Oxtin teased, "Eric, your intelligence agency is really good. You can find someone like this."

“It’s just so-so, hahaha, come on, let’s drink!”

Eric laughed triumphantly, thinking that everything was under his control.

Little did he know that Wang Shaohui had already forgotten An Lisu. He contacted Sherman only to win him over and hope that he would support the establishment of diplomatic relations with China.

As for the fact that Mai Sui entered the Archimedes base, Wang Shaohui naturally knew about it.

Because before Mai Sui moved, he called Wang Shaohui.

Wang Shaohui’s first reaction was to disagree!

Because he had heard of the Archimedes Base, which was the most confidential military research base in the United States.

But that was all he knew, other than that, there were no other useful clues.

They lost two excellent agents just by knowing the name "Archimedes".

The United States took a very severe attitude towards this matter at the time, and it almost got out of hand.

It is precisely because of this attitude of the United States that China realized that "Archimedes" is by no means an ordinary scientific research base.

Now, Norton took the initiative to offer to take Mai Sui over there. It’s easy to tell that it’s probably easier to get in than to get out!

Of course Wang Shaohui disagreed!

But after Mai Sui learned how important Archimedes was, his interest increased and he had to go!

Norton was very happy about Wheat's cooperation, as if he had seen them working together to develop a super powerful weapon that shocked the whole world, even surpassing the hE weapon.

As mentioned before, Mai Sui’s hobby is not academic research, but making various weapons and equipment.

In this respect, Norton is very similar to her.

The degree of compatibility between the two even exceeded that of Zhang Chaojin, Sheng Huainan, and Shen Xingchen at one point.

After all, Zhang Chaojin and his colleagues' research is more academic, while Mai Sui prefers simple and direct violent aesthetics.

So, putting aside nationality and stance, Mai Sui and Norton had a pretty happy chat.

Norton also mentioned to Mai Sui a design he had made many years ago, but it had never been realized for one reason or another.

Everyone said that his design was flawed and would never succeed.

But Norton always thought it was okay.

It was not until he failed countless times that he finally gave up.

But it was only a temporary let-go. In reality, Norton had never completely given up in his heart.

This is like an obsession, almost becoming a demon in my mind.

Norton finally met a close friend like Mai Sui who he could talk to, so he naturally wanted to ask the other party's opinion.

As soon as Mai Sui heard it, he knew what went wrong.

Because the problems Norton is facing now are all small problems in Mai Sui's world, and predecessors have already proposed solutions.

So, Wheat Ear told Norton.

"However, this liberation plan is a bit troublesome to implement. I don't know if your current technology is up to standard."

"Can it really be solved?" Norton was overjoyed.
