Chapter 1575: Defending the Sculpin
Xiao Peng was transferred to a new ward. After entering, Bruch carefully checked it out and said, "Boss, this room is fine."
"Yeah." Xiao Peng nodded while lying on the bed: "Bruch, buy me a PS5 to play games!"
He believed Bruch's words because Bruch's phone was specially made to detect nearby radio waves and specifically to find out if there were any surveillance devices. If he said there weren't any, then there was no problem.
Bruch didn't leave, but instead asked Xiao Peng, "Boss, what's with that bug you just found? I took a look at it, and it's an ultra-precise bug, not something an average person can get their hands on. It's a legitimate military-grade device, mostly used by intelligence agencies. Was it installed by that Japanese guy?"
Xiao Peng nodded and shook his head.
Bruch was confused: "Boss, what do you mean? Why are you nodding and shaking your head?"
Xiao Peng replied: "Ishii Kevin is of Japanese descent, but he is an old American."
Bruch suddenly realized: "Oh, you know him! Then why didn't you receive them? He seems to be quite important. What's the matter with Mitsui & Co., Ltd."
Xiao Peng said, "It's a large conglomerate covering many businesses. This is the second-in-command of that group. Remember what I said about the Indian captain who ran aground in Sri Lanka while trying to get some Wi-Fi? That ship was a Mitsui Shipping ship under Mitsui & Co. That's how I learned about this group."
"That bug...is it something they're planning to use to steal trade secrets?" Bruch said disdainfully, "These Japanese are such jerk-ass bastards! They're so insidious!"
Xiao Peng said calmly, "Maybe. Go buy a game console, otherwise it'll be too boring. Oh, and don't forget to call Vander Laupe and the others and tell them we're here. Don't let them worry."
Bruch said, "Okay, boss. I'll go buy the game first!"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Don't forget to buy the game disc!"
"Okay!"
Watching Bruch close the door and leave, Xiao Peng's brows were twisted into a knot.
He really wanted to ask that Ishii Kevin - Do you think I'm a moron?
Ono Akihiko wanted to discuss business with me? How long have I been here? Without what happened last night, who would have known he was in America? If Ono Akihiko only found out about Xiao Peng's presence from the news, then no matter how fast he tried, he wouldn't be able to reach America now. He might still be flying in the sky!
The reason why he appeared in front of him now meant that he had been waiting for him here for a long time.
So the question is: How did he know he was here?
Of course it’s because of Kevin Ishii!
Why did Xiao Peng agree to come to Houston under Vincent's terms? It was because Vincent showed him a document about the CIA's operational plan.
The code name of the operation was: "Defend Sculpin".
This is not a plan about greening and environmental protection, but an action plan to protect a strategic nuclear submarine code-named "Sculpin".
As Earth's sole superpower, the United States maintains at least four strategic nuclear submarines on active combat missions at all times. The whereabouts of strategic nuclear submarines in every country, and the United States is no exception, are top secret. Protecting the whereabouts of these submarines is a task requiring the coordinated efforts of the military and intelligence agencies.
Kevin Ishii is the CIA's person in charge of protecting the 'sculpin'.
To be precise, "Sculptor" isn't just a submarine, but rather a lurking location. Any strategic nuclear submarine operating in this location is called a "Sculptor." And where is this location? It's the Barents Sea, within Russian territorial waters. Lurking there, of course, is the intention to deliver a fatal blow to Russia in the event of an extreme situation.
At that time, Xiao Peng went to help the Dutch side find the Barents shipwreck, and this incident made Kevin Ishii see the danger.
As a member of the CIA, they had paid attention to Xiao Peng very early on - because Xiao Peng's appearance made Europe increasingly difficult to control and its relationship with Daxia increasingly close.
For so many years, the United States has always been the EU's first trading partner, and a large number of American products have been exported to the EU. However, since Xiao Peng appeared, the EU's first trading partner has unknowingly become Daxia! (This is true)
Although matters between countries cannot be influenced by one or two people, it has to be admitted that since Xiao Peng's sudden rise in the field of deep-sea salvage, the relationship between European countries and Daxia has become very delicate. Now Xiao Peng still lives in the Dutch royal family's house and is the chief consultant of the EU Salvage Alliance. Although the EU and Daxia are still engaged in verbal battles, the economic and trade cooperation between the two sides is becoming more and more harmonious.
This time, Xiao Peng traveled to the Arctic to search for the Barents shipwreck. Kevin Ishii decided to go all out and assassinate Xiao Peng! This would protect the sculpin while also eliminating a source of trouble in the EU. So, he used a person lurking on Xiao Peng's ship to release the anthrax.
As for why he released the anthrax virus? Because Kevin Ishii also has another identity, that is, a person in charge of the infamous "Fort Detrick", and he has this identity because of his great-grandfather.
Who was his great-grandfather? It was the devil Ishii Shiro who experimented on human bodies in Daxia!
After Japan's defeat in the war, the Americans, envious of their biological weapons achievements, established their own biological weapons laboratory in Fort Detrick, Michigan. Shiro Ishii used all the research data he had obtained from live human experiments in exchange for immunity for himself and his men from war crimes prosecution.
The Americans spared no effort to develop "Fort De" and many members of the demon army stained with the blood of the Daxia people entered Fort De. Many Nacui scientists were also brought there, including Shiro Ishii's youngest son, Kevin Ishii's grandfather.
Don't be fooled by the Americans using "washing powder" to accuse others of using biological and chemical weapons. In fact, after World War II, the United States was the only country to use biological and chemical weapons in wars. There is evidence of their use of biological and chemical weapons in the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
To this day, Fort Detrick has not stopped developing biological weapons. Since its establishment at the end of World War II, Fort Detrick has experienced dozens of leaks, large and small. The most famous one was the suspected Estonian Ebola virus leak in 1989 and the subsequent global epidemic.
As for how Vincent got this document? In the US, money buys everything! And since Vincent is a renowned "patriotic businessman," it was easy for him to get this kind of information without anyone suspecting him.
It's hard to say whether Vincent is a "patriotic businessman," but he is definitely a qualified "businessman" who knows how to maximize profits! Hence, Xiao Peng's trip all the way to Houston to attend the WWE show.
However, for Xiao Peng, he definitely came here not just to participate in a show, and Vincent knew it very well, so he only asked his subordinates to come while he was at the WWE headquarters thousands of miles away.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you playing Liao Zhai?
