Chapter 279: General Beihai's New Clothes (1)
The car went about five kilometers further, turned to the right, and rushed out of the main road into a potholed country dirt road.
The stalkers behind have all been thrown off, and it should have been time for the Northern Emperor to show his true face.
"Mr. Long, before the next plan begins, I need a small cooperation from you." As he spoke, he took out a disposable syringe wrapped in a vacuum bag from his pocket, containing about five milliliters of yellowish liquid.
I silently reached forward and received his injection.
Heads of state around the world have their own unique security measures, and several of them, who are at the heart of global public opinion, usually use "anesthetic" injections to isolate visitors. By the time the numbing had passed, the visitor had arrived in a completely unfamiliar place, and he had no memory of the way he had come.
"Thank you for your cooperation." The electric falcon nodded and sighed, "It's the first time I've encountered such a cooperative character as Mr. Long. β
My goal is to reach a cooperation with the Emperor of the North, and if this injection is a prerequisite for meeting him, then what else do I have to worry about? Instead of rambling nonsense, it is better to follow the other party's rules.
The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, not to mention, the Northern Emperor is not a snake, but a tiger with fangs and claws.
When the yellowish liquid was injected into my wrist veins, the Falcon turned on the small screen above the rearview mirror.
"I'm Denki Falcon, please take the special line of General Beihai." The electric falcon analyzes against the screen.
The screen shows the scan of the electronic instrument for the analysis of sound waves, accompanied by a continuous ticking sound, the sound waves emitted by the electric falcon coincide with the samples reserved by the instrument, and its identity is verified.
"General Beihai is on the phone with foreign heads of state, please wait." A gentle female voice replied.
"Use the plug-in reporting method to operate, report to General Beihai, I have invited Mr. Long Fei, and I need to report in person." The electric falcon persistently pleaded.
The female voice disappeared for a moment, and after about ten seconds, she replied: "General's phone is being connected, five, four, three, two, oneβyou can speak." β
The screen flashed, and the person known as the "North Sea General" appeared in an instant. He is known by a variety of titles, such as the "Great Emperor of the North" on the rivers and lakes, the "General of the North Sea" by insiders, and the "Head of the Great Northern Powers" at the international political level.
"Very good, Mr. Long Fei has arrived, and I will invite him directly to my study." said the general on the screen.
"Yes, General." The Falcon solemnly raised its hand in salute.
The general returned the salute and continued: "What else have you found in the greatest treasure trove of Chinese culture? β
This is originally a very simple question, if it is placed on other occasions and in the face of other big people, anyone can casually make up a few falsehoods, big words, empty words, and it is easy to prevaricate the past. However, in front of the Northern Emperor, this sentence became a practical problem, and it was not easy to get by.
"This ...... General, Chinese culture is vast and profound, and what I have seen is full of treasures, and it is difficult to cite representative examples in a short period of time. The Falcon replied.
This answer should be quite satisfactory, at least 80 points.
"Hmph, hmph." The Great Emperor of the North sneered three times.
A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on the forehead and the tip of the nose of the electric falcon, which was shiny and very funny.
"It's not what I want to hear, you know." The Great of the North said.
"Oh, this, Your Excellency...... The murals of the Mogao Grottoes are profound, and although I stare at the murals for more than fifteen hours a day, I still stay at the level of appreciation, and I can't become an expert and systematically judge those things. "The electric falcon can't escape, so it can only tell the truth.
The Northern Emperor is famous for his "strict management of the army", and his iron fist, iron law, iron face, and iron heart have long become a global consensus.
In the past few years, many military commanders who have been on a fancy, have lost their posts in a meeting or a drill and have never been reused.
"Denfalcon, what is the duty of a spy?" The Great of the North asked.
The electric falcon was even more frightened, leaning over, and its face almost pressed to the screen.
"Generals, generals, lowly self-knowledge and lack of learning, need to be further tempered and improved. However, the culture of the Chinese is inherently unfathomable, and there are many mysteries hidden in those murals, which are worth pondering little by little. Now, we have invited Mr. Long Fei, which is equivalent to a good start. A good start is half the battle, it's a quote you said and I've always kept it in my heart......" said Denfalcon hurriedly.
I don't think I'm amused by the performance of the Electric Falcon. In the face of tyrants, any mistake may lose the fame and fortune that have been accumulated so hard, and even their precious lives.
"Mr. Long Fei's strength just reflects how incompetent the team you lead is." The Great Emperor of the North snapped.
The electric falcon couldn't refute it, after all, what the Northern Emperor said was also the truth.
To be able to become a spy leader in his own right, the Electric Falcon should be able to do more, better, and more leading. Perhaps this can only be attributed to the reason of "insufficient ability and insufficient level", once something needs to compete for talent, those who only know how to "work hard and hard" in the past will suffer a big loss.
"I can...... I replied...... "I don't want to see the Falcon anger the Northern Emperor because of trivial matters, we get along fairly well, and it would be a waste of time to change to another person and still need to re-run." Moreover, the newcomer who is replaced is not necessarily smarter than the electric falcon. All things considered, I'm willing to stand up for the Electric Falcon.
The anesthetic was working, and I spoke loudly, but the sound was squeezed out of my throat, barely audible.
"Mr. Long, Mr. Long, do you have something to say?" The electric falcon reacts extremely quickly.
I nodded my head hard, and my neck stiffened.
"Don't worry, I'll inject you with the antidote first-" The electric falcon moved very quickly, took out another syringe containing the light blue potion from his pocket, grabbed my left arm, found the original needle hole, and gently pricked it, quickly pushing the potion forward.
"In just five minutes, you can talk and twist your body at will." Electric Falcon said.
In any country, the nature of a spy does not matter whether it is good or bad. A person like Denki Hayabusa, as long as he can be faithful to his country, can be considered a "good person".
I don't want to judge his character and humanity too much. Now, we are partners, and I will help him solve his difficulties for the sake of the effect of cooperation.
"Don't worry, we have time." The person on the screen turned to me.
Usually, I have seen his appearance countless times in various media, but now I find that it is not the real him, but has been carefully dressed and adjusted by etiquette scholars, whether it is when he is not smiling or when he is smiling, he is all a mask.
Now he is pale, with deep crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, and he looks slightly old. Especially those eyes, with the tired color of staying up too late and being bloodshot.
From his party and government resume, it can be seen that with his current real age, he should have retired to the background and enjoyed his old age a long time ago. In recent years, there have been several political bigwigs in his country between the ages of forty-five and sixty, whose prestige and wisdom are growing day by day, and he is probably looking for a successor.
It only took a minute for me to force myself to overcome my control* and start to open my mouth to speak: "Your Excellency, the matter here in Mogao Grottoes is very complicated, and no one can see the clouds and find the truth of the matter. I don't have the right to say good or bad about Mr. Denfalcon's work, but I just give a fair comment and he has done his best. After so many battles, those who are still alive and standing here are already remarkable heroes. β
Just as the "living" of the electric falcon, I also think of all the people in the Yellow Flower Society.
The Mogao Grottoes are like a bottomless black hole, sucking everyone up, but there is no response.
"Everything in the world must be explored." The Great of the North said.
This is the truth, and it is true everywhere. However, the real situation now is that the Mogao Grottoes are full of mysteries, and even the wise people in the country are helpless, let alone outsiders like the electric falcon.
"We couldn't do it, and that's the truth." I honestly said, "Not only did we not make it, we didn't even get into the houseβ"
So far, only Gu Tingcheng has really gone deep into the Mogao Grottoes. Her disappearance was like a ray of light, piercing directly into the secret core of the Mogao Grottoes, pointing the way to everyone. Unfortunately, whether she will come back alive or not has become a huge unknown.
"I only want the result, I don't listen to the process." The Northern Emperor shook his head slowly.
I smiled and asked, "Your Excellency, I would like to ask, what is the result you want?" Is it Dunhuang Heavenly Machine? Is it the 'Golden Mountain Silver Sea Jade Palace'? Or is it the secret of immortality and longevity with heaven and earth? β
The Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang bring people too much illusory imagination, and many people are fascinated by them, chasing all kinds of colorful uncertain goals.
This is a zero-sum game with no results, and many people are destined to die in it.
Since the Northern Emperor wanted a "result", then he had to first say what he wanted for this "result".
"I want to grasp the lifeblood of Qiankun, enter, and return the world to zero; Retreat, guard the treasure in the North Sea. The world is complex, and there are many big countries, and only by mastering the lifeblood of others can we advance and retreat freely. The Great of the North replied.
The answer is still very general and does not refer to one thing or one thing.
"Okay." I said just two words, and then I said no more.
"Why don't you speak?" The Great of the North asked.
I shook my head: "Your Excellency, General, I'm tired, I'll talk about it when we meet." β
The electric falcon reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Long, the general has not ended the call yet, according to the rules, you have to listen carefully, and you can't make unilateral decisions." β
He was a courtier under the command of the Great Emperor of the North, so he should naturally serve respectfully, just as the ancient slave faced his master, only promised, and humble to the extreme.
I'm a guest and don't want to play by their rules, with the exception of course.
"I'm sorry Mr. Denbasa, I'm tired, but *'s strength hasn't gone away......" I yawned, my chin hung down to my chest, and I closed my eyes to rest.
There are many drawbacks to this kind of remote communication, as the sound and images are transmitted through data compression, and many details are ignored, and it is impossible to know the full reaction of the other party.
The Northern Emperor was one of the few wise men in the world, and the only head of state who could lead the nation against the Pentagon.
Meeting him will definitely be a huge help for me to establish my own height in life.
"Okay, okay, let's talk later." The Great of the North said.
I stopped responding and fell asleep silently.
