Qin Tairan quickly recovered from the shock, people like him have been tempered for thousands of years, if it weren't for the fact that this news was too shocking, waiting for idle things would not cause fluctuations in his heart at all, he took a few deep breaths and quickly recovered his mood, no longer speaking, but began to move with all his strength in his mind, analyzing and screening various possibilities from the information he knew.

Like Kong Xiangcheng, Qin Tairan's first suspicion direction also started from the military's movements, screening what kind of actions of the military in the recent period would trigger such a violent reaction from the CIA.

Military exercises, WS-20A aero engines, new nuclear power units, newly surfaced nuclear submarines and missiles, newly launched nuclear-powered destroyers, and until the Global Hawk incident, each of them seems to be the target of the opponent at first glance, but after careful scrutiny, Qin Tairan and Kong Xiangcheng ruled out the possibility of these aspects one by one, there is no doubt that the above intelligence is definitely very important information for the US military, but according to Qin Tairan's analysis, This importance has not risen to the level of requiring the CIA to initiate a first-level mission.

You must know that based on Qin Tairan's understanding of the CIA, there will not be a few such highest-level first-level missions for the CIA on a global scale every year.

It's not that there are only a few major events in the world that deserve the CIA's attention every year, but this kind of mission requires a lot of resources, and even as the world's most resource-rich intelligence agency, the CIA can't afford to spend resources on a few missions of this level, so they choose their targets extremely strictly every year.

This kind of target is either aimed at a terrorist giant like bin Laden after 911, or it is aimed at a large-scale killer weapon with a huge impact such as the North Korean nuclear and Persian nuclear weapons.

Although the military has made various achievements recently, it is clear that it is not enough compared to the big thing like the North Korean nuclear program.

"Old Kong, you should have confirmed that they are not here for our military's specific targets, right?" Thinking of this, Qin Tairan looked up at Kong Xiangcheng and asked.

According to past information, the CIA's first-level mission is either aimed at major military targets, or staring at important people, but the military target, it seems that the new things on our side are not qualified or the time is wrong, and in terms of important people, I can't think of a target person worthy of their shot." Kong Xiangcheng sighed.

"Someone important?" Qin Tairan's mind flashed, as if he had grabbed something from the fog, "Think about it, what kind of target people will they target?" Is it ......?"

A name suddenly flashed in Qin Tairan's mind, Duke! They must have known something and started to target Duke!

After Qin Tairan connected Duke with this matter, his face couldn't help but change drastically, and he almost didn't hesitate to confirm in his heart that the goal of this first-level mission was aimed at Duke nine times out of ten.

If the CIA smells something and associates some of the above-mentioned military movements with Duke, then there is no doubt that Duke is the number one target to deal with, although Qin Tairan doesn't know how these highly secret things are leaked, so that the CIA side thinks of Duke's huge role in this from some clues.

But from another point of view, if Qin Tairan himself was the director of the CIA, he would not hesitate to list Duke as a priority target at present, and find out the secrets of this person, after all, this person's role in the military is too important, far more than the development of some kind of strategic weapons and equipment. Of course, Qin Tairan didn't expect that the CIA's imagination was even richer, and they actually established some kind of connection between Duke and aliens, which made Duke's importance sharply increase to the CIA's most urgent mission at present.

However, in any case, once Qin Tairan linked Duke with this first-level mission, he basically ruled out other possibilities, he was the military coordinator with the closest ties with Duke, and it can be said that he knew Duke's military value best in the world today, and Qin Tairan even believed that if it could be developed for more than ten years, the domestic military equipment would have the opportunity to comprehensively surpass the current level of the US military.

This is not Qin Tairan's fantasy alone, but a reality of the rapid development of military equipment, although Duke is not omnipotent, but like the fulcrum of four or two thousand pounds, it can borrow advanced software technology to maximize the combat effectiveness of existing military equipment.

In the military's internal assessment, Duke's theater joint tactical combat system alone is no less than the advent of a new strategic weapon, because it can greatly make up for the weaknesses in the performance of existing equipment and offset the opponent's technological superiority by giving better play to the advantages of cluster operations.

The substantial improvement in the fire control system and the detection system has also raised the level of the electronic system of our army's main battle equipment to a new level; from the main battle tanks on the ground, to the planes in the sky, to the ships at sea, and the all-important strategic Second Artillery Corps, they are now in the process of updating the software on a large scale, and the software developed by Duke is greatly improving the original electronic system.

At the same time, the major breakthrough in the processing of CNC machine tools and the mass production of a variety of special steels, so that the equipment hardware also has a great basis for improvement, but this aspect of the research and development cycle is longer, in addition to the first achievements in aero engines, tank armor, etc., for new aircraft, new ships, new missiles for a while to improve the results can not see much, after all, these need to spend a lot of time to test, compared to the software development cycle is much longer.

And all of these things have to do with the genius of Duke.

Qin Tairan sighed when he thought of this, what he had been worried about had finally happened now, no matter how much the other party knew about these inside stories now, because he believed that as long as the other party understood even a small part of it, he would not underestimate Duke's role and significance.

It's just that Duke has done a bit too much in the past few years, and the scope involved is too wide, for a while, Qin Tairan couldn't think of what went wrong, and it was not easy to find out where these leaks were, so he stared at Kong Xiangcheng, and said with a somewhat complicated expression, "Old Kong, I basically know what target they are targeting, I'm afraid you will be busy now." ”

After saying this exclamation, without waiting for Kong Xiangcheng to ask, he continued: "They must be here for Dr. Duke, to say something inappropriate, in China now, there is no character who can be more valuable than Dr. Duke, you and I, even the number one sitting in Zhongnanhai can find a replacement, but only Dr. Duke can definitely not find a replacement." He is so important to our country. ”

"Not only are you busy with this matter, but I also have to be busy, and I must report to the Military Commission when I go back, and ask for a comprehensive improvement in the security of Dr. Duke, because we can't afford the damage that this matter may cause."

When Qin Tairan proposed that the opponent's target was to target Duke, Kong Xiangcheng reacted immediately, and he didn't need Qin Tairan to explain anything at all, he knew that this was the case nine times out of ten. So he immediately stood up and said to Qin Tairan apologetically: "Old Qin, I'm really sorry, you helped me such a big favor, I have to leave without even drinking a cup of tea, wait for this matter, let's take time to get together!" ”

Now that he has figured out the opponent's goal, he can't sit still, this matter is not trivial, every minute and second may produce new changes, he can't delay any longer, in order to figure out the opponent's goal, they have wasted a lot of time, now they must go back to deploy, start acting immediately, you must know that the opponent will not sit and wait for them.

"You are busy with your work, it is mainly up to you to solve this matter now, and I must go back and report to the higher authorities immediately, today it is fortunate that you reminded me, otherwise we would still be in the dark. If something really happens to Duke, you and I are sinners of the nation! Qin Tairan didn't care about drinking saliva, and after finishing speaking, he shook Kong Xiangcheng's hands tightly, and then hurriedly rushed to their posts.
