Chapter 484: Lex's Decision
Duke, as a great scientist, is very important to China, both technologically and economically, and it is very natural for the CIA to target him as a target.
But at the same time, Lex has stayed by Duke's side for a long time, and for this young and talented scientist, he has developed an instinctive sense of protection - Duke is not only a scientist who can benefit China, but also a great scientist who can benefit human society.
Since the advent of the lotus stack, it has truly brought nuclear energy into the era of safe use.
As one of the closest people to Duke's side, Lex knew that Duke's genius did not breed all kinds of extravagant and lascivious habits because of his success, but remained true to his true colors, still working hard in various research and development centers, for a young man under the age of thirty, Lex knew how difficult it was, especially with so many temptations in this world.
"I can't do that!" Thinking of this, Lex stared at Matt and said word by word. "I don't know, and I don't want to figure out what exactly you're going to do against Dr. Duke, but I'll do everything I can to keep you from hurting this great scientist of humanity."
"Matt, you better go back, you can't find anything useful in Dr. Duke, the real secrets are all in the computers of various R&D centers, and these places are not where our baby should go." Lex finally admonished Matt.
Looking at the stubborn Lex, Matt knew that he had returned in vain today. He didn't know what this Dr. Duke had done to Lex, to make his familiar brother suddenly become a stranger to him.
"Lex, this is not a personal vendetta, but a national interest. In the national interest, Dr. Duke is more than just your boss. Matt tried to use righteousness to further convince Lex.
"As for his national interests, I don't think that Dr. Duke has a dime to do with the national interests, you CIA are just looking at all kinds of unique civilian technology developed by Dr. Duke, we can't shout about protecting intellectual property while stealing other people's technology," Lex said with some excitement.
Although Lex also knows that Duke has been doing some military research projects recently, for example, he has been going to the DSM R&D center recently, which is the R&D center of one of Duke's military enterprises.
However, these are also very normal for Lex, Boeing, General Motors and other American corporate giants, which is not a military-civilian amphibious enterprise.
"But you're not going to get anything, Matt, and trust me, almost all of Dr. Duke's technical secrets are in his head, and even if you put the effort to install bugs, it's just a glimpse into Dr. Duke's private life. I don't see how a scientist's private life has anything to do with national interests. ”
Clearly, Lex was extremely resistant to the CIA's operation against Duke. Of course, Lex won't tell Matt about his identity as an agent because of this, he just wants Matt to walk away quietly.
"Lex, you've changed," Matt said with some grief, knowing that there was nothing more to say, "no longer the warrior who could die for the United States, but a deserter ruined by the comfort of reality." ”
"I haven't changed, but you have changed, it seems that the CIA has made you lose the concept of right and wrong" Lex replied categorically, "When I am a soldier, I will do my best to do my job as a soldier, even if it is sacrificed, but now I am a bodyguard, what I want to do is to protect my boss, not a mole who works behind the boss's back." Matt, maybe you think that it is easy to attack a Chinese in the back, just like shooting at the enemy on the battlefield without psychological burden.
But you don't know, they are actually no different from us, they are the same real people, but they live in different countries, and I can't find any reason to do it behind a scientist who has brought hope to more than 100,000 people around the world to work and live.
I don't know what you want to do with Dr. Duke, I just know that this man is the work and life needs of hundreds of thousands of people, and if he falls, many people may lose their jobs in the near future, whether he is in Europe, the Americas, or Asia, and now Dr. Duke is supporting a huge corporate empire, without Dr. Duke's invention, it will soon decay, and these people who could have lived a good life will lose all this. ”
Although Lex's words are a bit absolute and extreme, as a close person who has been by Duke's side for so long, Lex more or less understands the actual situation, and knows that Duke is an indispensable soul in Duke's huge corporate R&D team, which is why Duke is so busy every day.
So much so that Lex and his group of bodyguards are of little use, because Duke rarely has time to go out and play or hang out.
The two originally very good friends broke up, this unexpected result, made Lex, who has always been optimistic about life, sleepless all night, he thought for a while that Duke became the target of the CIA, and the future may not be easy, as an American, Lex knows how powerful the CIA is, if it really wants to target a certain object, it will not stop if it is not achieved, although Matt has returned to his own place, but he will never give up, he will definitely find another way to deal with Duke.
If it's just to steal some information, but the CIA will never be satisfied with just getting some pieces of Duke's private life, they must want to do something more to Duke, Lex thought that Duke's current research and development work has more military projects, and can't help but start to speculate about some worst possibilities.
Although Lex didn't know what was in the military project that Duke was involved in, but it must be a great weapon project to be able to alert the CIA to send people across the ocean, thinking of some things that he could see by chance outside the DSM R&D base, with his own military literacy, Lex judged that the DSM should be developing some projects similar to drones.
It's just that he will return at most by sending Duke outside the base, so it's not clear what kind of drones these are, but judging from the size, these things are not big, maybe they are some tactical drones used for reconnaissance.
Although this discovery made Lex still a little uneasy in his heart, after all, Lex couldn't say when China and the United States might meet each other, although this drone is not lethal, but for a veteran like Lex, this seemingly harmless thing actually has a very huge impact on the entire battlefield.
However, Lex will not decide that Duke is the enemy he needs to deal with now because of this possibility, on the contrary, Matt's appearance made Lex discover the CIA's actions against Duke, making Lex toss and turn, not knowing how to deal with it, he can't stop the action of the CIA behemoth alone, and it is not good to remind Duke of this situation, and the dilemma makes Lex stay awake all night, which is why he is depressed in the morning.
