Chapter 382: The World Map Painted in Red
There is no doubt that Harold Finch committed the most serious treason, and under normal circumstances, the intelligence agencies of the United States will try to win him back and let him continue to serve the great motherland under strict supervision, if this is not done, then the United States will spare no effort to destroy Harold Fincher, even if it sacrifices all the spy networks in China, to ensure that he is destroyed humanely.
It is not to vent a bad breath, nor is it to warn future generations, but only to ensure that the interests of the US Federation are not infringed upon.
The Federal Mansion is not an adolescent boy with a small belly, it is just a machine that is good at calculating the gains and losses of interests and greedily encroaching on more interests, huge and cold-blooded, as long as there are enough interests, it can embrace those traitors who have betrayed the interests of the country in the most beautiful and gentle manner, and can also bury those heroes who have dedicated their lives to the country in the most cruel and ruthless way.
If we can't win back a genius like Harold Fincher, then of course, we can't let this brilliant mind continue to serve potential hostile countries, which will damage the core interests of the U.S. Federation and related parties, and the federal government cannot afford such heavy losses.
That was exactly what Leon Parnett, the top C.I.A. chief, had in mind, but his views were immediately refuted.
"But it's not normal now, hell, under normal circumstances, we don't see zombies, mutants, domes, superpowers, and spatial cracks and monsters in Los Angeles." The Secretary of Defense shook his gray-haired head and said in fierce terms, "Peace is only a temporary illusion, and perhaps, as many people have imagined, our world will become a paradise again after the mutant crisis is resolved." But Mr. President, we can't be naΓ―ve enough to think that mutants will always abide by the peace treaty, nor can we wishfully assume that nothing else terrible will happen from now on, first zombies and mutants, then monsters that appear out of thin air from the cracks in space, who will have what behind them? We must not be bound by past experience, because the game between major powers has entered a new stage that has never been seen before. β
Robert Gates is a senior intelligence analyst, who has worked in the intelligence community for 30 years, and is the only veteran in the history of the U.S. federal who has crossed the presidential term and crossed both parties at the same time.
William Harrison nodded lightly and motioned for Robert Gates to continue.
"In the face of an enemy invasion, the Union army has the ability to repel and destroy any enemy, but in the face of an unknown enemy, no country can solve all problems alone, and as long as the communication network between countries still exists, the formation of a joint government will become inevitable over time. Not long ago, we signed peace treaties with the mutants in nearly 100 countries, including Mongolia, and China, which is a very good opportunity, perhaps to take this opportunity, we can establish a joint government or a world defense agency, and the US Federation will still be one of the rule-makers who have the right to speak. But if we do something that undermines the trust of all parties at this critical juncture, we will be the sinners of the world. β
"If Harold Finch continues to develop artificial intelligence for Huaxia, we will be the sinners of the American Federation." Leon, who is slick and smooth, changed his old good face and confronted Robert, "We should not let a traitor who betrays the interests of the Federation go unpunished." β
"Harold Fincher's time away from the United States is simply not enough to develop artificial intelligence, and although Huaxia has tried its best to build supercomputers in recent years, due to our blockade of Huaxia's high-end chips, it is difficult for them to come up with a few decent supercomputers, which are problems that Harold Finch cannot solve. Therefore, the key to Huaxia's research and development of artificial intelligence lies in the mysterious superpower, not Harold Fincher. Robert Gates sneered, "Also, you say Harold Finch is a traitor? I'm sorry, I don't think so, I think his contribution to the U.S. Federation is incomparable to that of ten Robert Gates and ten Leon Parnett. β
A quick knock on the door stopped the argument, and the chief of staff walked in with a bulky laptop, and since there were no people in the room to avoid, the chief of staff walked halfway down the road and said hurriedly: "Mr. President, please take a look at these two mock maps." β
As soon as the words fell, the mobile phones of the other three vibrated in no particular order.
"Gentlemen, ignore your phones for now, I think they're all delivering the same message, and that's it." The chief of staff said, pointing to the computer screen.
The two simulated maps occupy the upper and lower sides of the computer screen, respectively, and are flat world maps, in which there are only four small red dots in the upper map, and in the lower map, there are patches of red dots, red lines, and red spots, and the red in some areas is connected, and the metaphorical red light almost completely covers several countries.
"What is this?" William had a premonition in his heart when he asked the question, and the comparison between the two simulated maps gave him a terrible expectation, and the solemn expression and ugly face of the chief of staff made him feel even more uncomfortable.
"A minute ago, a mysterious visitor broke through the firewall and sent these two maps to the desktop of my office computer, to be exact, to the desktop of every computer in the White House, and I think you would see the same thing if you turned on your tablet."
The Chief of Staff's words made the three intelligence chiefs nervous, but the real highlight was yet to come.
"The Cyber Technology Department has started to track down and has not found any traces of the intrusion for the time being, maybe give them more time to dig up some clues, but I think you need to look at these two maps first." After the chief of staff finished speaking, he enlarged the map at the top of the screen and dragged it back and forth with the mouse.
When the map is zoomed in, William Harrison can clearly see that the four red dots represent the cities: Los Angeles of the United States, Tokyo of Japan, Nandu of China, and Shangjing.
"Oh, God." Leon Parnett stared blankly at the red-painted map at the bottom of the screen, "I wish this was a prank." β
"yes, I hope it's just a prank, too." The Chief of Staff sighed and zoomed in on the map of the world below.
The dense red dots include Shanghai in China, St. Petersburg in the Russian Federation, New York in the United States, Birmingham in the United Kingdom, Paris in France, Hamburg in Germany, Toronto in Canada, New Delhi in India, Bangkok in Thailand, and Osaka in Japan......
Even more striking are the red lines and large red spots.
Chile, Sweden, Singapore, New Zealand, Sudan, Tunisia, Congo, Gambia, Pakistan......
Mexico, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Australia......
