The United States has finally chosen to abandon cooperation.

Since the breakdown of negotiations at the business meeting two years ago, the U.S. commercial department and major technology companies have not given up their intention to continue to seek cooperation.

With the gradual growth of the giant beast industry and its deeper and deeper influence on the world's science and technology, their intention has become more and more firm step by step.

During this period, there were threats.

There have also been compromises.

There have been more than one actual threat of repeated defeats.

No company has ever enjoyed this kind of treatment, and certainly no company can be as hard as the Behemoth Industry.

But......

All the victories of the Behemoth Industry will be completely made of history by the next operation.

At least that's what Weiz, assistant to the president, who sat in the conference room, and the few Pentagon officers who took over the plan of action, thought.

Whether it's underestimating your opponents, or the Monster Industry is too lucky. In the past, intelligence and business were led by the specialized operations of the Behemoth Industry. In the eyes of these military commanders who are in charge of the world's most powerful armed forces, they are just "sissies" things.

So after the meeting, Weisz returned with the report and asked the president to sign it as soon as possible.

The officers returned to the Pentagon to review military intelligence related to Nicara, while waiting for intelligence agents to come and hand over their tasks.

The intelligence services are very efficient.

The generals only had a rough idea of the situation, and the intelligence department came to the door with two large boxes of materials.

"So many?" Several officers were frightened by the two large boxes in front of them.

Although the vast majority of departments have now entered a paperless office, departments like theirs engaged in intelligence and military affairs will always be accustomed to keeping some important documents in paper files because of the issue of secrecy regulations.

Of course, there are electronic files, but no one likes to use electronic files in this kind of file transfer process between different departments.

Because these departments can become very cumbersome when it comes to electronic file transfer. Many of the regulations seem ridiculous or even pedantic to outsiders.

This is by no means a problem that can be solved by handing over a hard drive, they must carry out strict detoxification of electronic files when handing over, except that electronic files have strict format requirements to prevent people from using viruses or programs to steal or sabotage secrets. It is also necessary to go through a bunch of procedural processes to get the chief officer to sign and be responsible. The files are then transferred to multiple backups on a physically isolated host for thorough verification.

Verify security before it can be sent to the archive.

Since the electronic file is so cumbersome, let's just use the paper file, this thing, the gods can't hide the Trojan virus on it.

How convenient is it for someone below to print out a phone call and run errands?

Of course, this time because the matter was too important, it was not only the people who ran errands who came to hand over the information, but also the chief officer of the intelligence department who was in charge of the investigation of the giant beast industry before.

……

The Pentagon and the intelligence services are inherently misguided, they look down on each other and are arrogant to each other.

When several military commanders were reviewing the intelligence materials, they had just finished reading the operation materials twice, and they showed a slightly mocking smile at the guys who came from the intelligence department in front of them.

"Tsk~"

"I didn't say anything if the first operation failed, and in the second operation, even the IAEA investigators were held to their heads with guns. ”

"Your intelligence department is really unique. ”

The intelligence department chief Burbit's expression suddenly became excited, he snorted coldly, and also leaned at the commander of his rank: "Madix, I advise you not to use this high-minded posture to face the opponent you are about to encounter. ”

"Although I'd love to see you make jokes. ”

"But this matter is about the future of our technology and the Internet, and I have the obligation and responsibility to remind you. ”

The military commander named Madix did not speak, but a Kezia chief next to him, who was also reading the information, raised his eyelids slightly worried, and looked at the intelligence chief Burbich for a moment, his eyes full of surprise.

"What's going on?"

"Why is the content of the operation on the third operation related to the sinking of the Hamilton-class patrol ship that occurred in the Grett Passage?"

Hearing Kezia's inquiry, the other three commanders immediately put down the information in their hands and moved their eyes to the third operation report in his hand.

"You can find out the reason at the end of the report. Burbitch, the intelligence officer, shrugged his shoulders.

Sunken Hamilton-class patrol boats?

Grett Strait?

These two sets of keywords are linked, and they quickly evoke the memories of these four military chiefs sitting in the Pentagon.

That incident was the worst ship accident in the US Navy in the past two years. The layer held several meetings to summarize and severely punished a group of responsible persons.

The four military commanders all remembered the details of the accident very well, and according to the internal notice, the Hamilton-class patrol ship belonging to the Fifth Fleet was on a patrol and interception mission in the Gray Strait before the accident.

Because the specific interception target involves classified information, no other departments other than the navy have been announced.

But the incident itself is full of weirdness and conspiracy.

A Hamilton-class patrol ship with a displacement of more than 3,200 tons and equipped with rapid-fire guns, radars, dolphin helicopters, phalanxes, and other weapons could be hit and sunk by a yacht of unknown origin in the course of its mission?

At the time, the internal announcement did not disclose the details of the collision, only emphasizing that it was a serious accident caused by a major mistake by the relevant commanders and the captain of the patrol vessel.

The accident not only caused the Hamilton-class patrol ship to sink in the deep sea and could not be salvaged, several crew members were killed in the impact, all the surviving crew members were injured, and more than a dozen crew members were seriously injured.

What's even more bizarre is that the yacht that caused the accident also sank along with the notice, leaving no information.

Depending on the position, they will of course receive different information.

These officers were not involved in the operation of the operation, nor were they specifically responsible for naval operations, so they certainly did not have access to the most authentic information. They only rely on experience to confirm that there must be an "article" behind this matter that must be kept strictly confidential.

Now they know the truth.

It turned out that the Hamilton-class patrol ship was originally intended to cooperate with the interception of the horizontal freighter that had been detained by the IAEA.

This freighter belongs to the Behemoth industry.

Out of deterrence, and for the purpose of leaving room for negotiation.

The captain of the Hamilton-class patrol ship also sent a radio call to the president of Behemoth Industries before intercepting it.

According to the statements of the surviving crew and the Dolphin helicopter pilots, the Hamilton-class patrol ship actually made no mistakes when it encountered the yacht. It was the yacht that slammed into the Hamilton-class patrol ship at an astonishing speed of ninety knots.

That collision pushed the Hamilton-class patrol ship with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons more than 20 meters horizontally. Then the survivors, watching the yacht sink along with the Hamilton patrol ship.

All the post-mortem reports point the finger at the giant beast industry.

But all the blame is speculation, and there is no evidence.

The report concludes with a summary:

It is likely that Behemoth Industries had already mastered the technology of building ultra-high-speed ships at that time, and it was probably unmanned ship technology.

This kind of summary seemed absurd at first, but when combined with the inference of the last "nuclear submarine", it seems to be taken for granted.

There is also a fifth, the mysterious event that took place in the Afgan Gorge.

For the sixth time, the plane was held in Russia and two pilots disappeared mysteriously......

These incidents, the results of the intelligence investigation, all point the finger at the giant industry.

"This ...... That's impossible. The military commander Madix put away his previous contempt for these intelligence officers, his eyes and fingers trembled slightly, "Could you be investigating in the wrong direction, the fifth canyon incident, we have summarized it many times, and we all think that there is a shadow of Huaxia's participation in it." ”

"They have a good reason to stop today's most advanced VTOL technology from falling into our hands. ”

"I'm sorry. Burbitch, the head of the intelligence department, looked indifferent, "You are just a group of reckless guys who are good at formulating tactical operations, and this kind of investigative mission that needs to sort out the details and discover the truth, of course you can't." ”

"In this matter, of course, we do not rule out the shadow of Huaxia's direct involvement. ”

"But I can tell you for sure, even if they are involved, the technology of the Behemoth Industries plays a decisive role in it. ”

"So put away your arrogance and contempt, and give it the most power. ”

"Hmph~", "Hmph......"

The four officers in charge of the coordinated operations between the different branches of the military snorted coldly.

Even if these investigation materials shocked them too much, they still couldn't change their confidence in the intelligence department and the powerful power of the Behemoth Industry.

This self-confidence comes from their brilliant cooperation and combat results again and again.

It comes from absolute confidence in the most powerful armed forces on the planet.

"Behemoth Industry?" "Giant Beast Industry?" said Madix, the military commander, putting down his report and looking at him like lightning, "From now on, we will be your opponents, and I hope you don't let us lose a sense of accomplishment in victory." ”
