Beautiful Country, Black Palace!
A special eting was being held here, attended by CIA Director Judith, President Lawrence, military representative Blake, and Secretary of the Treasury Finn.
The eting room had undergone a thorough investigation, and the room was specially modified such that not even a bug could enter, let alone eavesdropping devices, and there was a barrier to protect against biological reconnaissance thods.
This was mainly to prevent the intelligence operations of the Jieke Group. The ordeal of Siam Pupeng had made it clear how formidable Jieke Group was in intelligence.
Beautiful Country speculated that Jieke Group had used Genetic Warriors as agents and thus had made corresponding precautions.
In the eting room, President Lawrence's brows were furrowed as he flipped through the files on the table, all related to Jieke Group.
"... our arrangents in Southeast Asia have declared failure. We can't push Jieke Group down anymore. They will severely threaten our nation's security and interests in that region."
Judith spoke solemnly. This ti their CIA personally planned operation to encircle Jieke Group had declared bankruptcy, serving as nutrients for Jieke Group's growth and expansion, and their CIA personnel had suffered severe losses.
The agents in several countries of Southeast Asia and the pro-Beautiful Country officials they cultivated had mostly been attacked and retaliated against by Jieke Group, barely one out of ten survived.
The influence of Beautiful Country was swiftly declining in Southeast Asia, and replacing it, Jieke Group beca the new hegemon of the region.
Lawrence rubbed his temples, troubled, "I didn't expect these countries to be so incompetent, including An Nan. They have not caused any trouble for Jieke Group. If they had shown the determination to fight to the death as they had against us before, they should have landed Jieke Group in trouble. These successors are far too weak compared to their predecessors."
Hearing Lawrence's complaint, Blake took the opportunity to add, "Jieke Group's military power is unexpectedly strong. The Spider cha they have developed in the field of ground vehicles has made a novel breakthrough. We underestimated the strength of Jieke Group and overestimated those countries' combat capabilities.
Mr. President, I humbly request an increase in the cha research budget. Our Beautiful Country must have our own chas; we cannot let Jieke Group monopolize the cha field.
Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon Company, General Dynamics, and other companies are pushing forward their cha research. We are at a crucial mont; if more funds are injected, our Beautiful Country could soon have our own chas."
Brian was a military representative, and even more, he represented the military-industrial complex.
The so-called military-industrial complex is a massive interest group made up of the military, military industries, and so mbers of Congress, the true defense contractors.
The ergence of the Spider cha and the application of Biological Armor are examples of the military-industrial complex looking to keep up with the wave of military revolution.
Before Lawrence could answer, Finn couldn't help but retort, "More funding? We've already expended a massive amount of materials and equipnt to aid those countries in Southeast Asia. Now that the war effort has failed, all investnts have been lost, costing a huge amount of US dollars. You're acting like money grows on trees."
Brian snorted coldly, "Are we just supposed to watch as we fall behind in the cha field step by step? Military power is our foundation. Without military hegemony, how can our country maintain order in Blue Star? Do you even love our country anymore? What do you consider the public safety of Beautiful Country? Should we wait until Jieke Group attacks our holand before you're willing to develop new equipnt?"
Finn slamd the table, rebuking, "Don't pin that on . Did I say we shouldn't conduct cha research? But the allocation of funds can't be disorderly."
Finn knew who Brian represented, but he disliked how the military-industrial complex often used the slogans of military safety and public safety to coerce the Beautiful Country authorities into providing funding.
"Enough, stop arguing. cha research is indeed urgent. Let's discuss it with Congress later; if approved, the Treasury Departnt will issue a batch of governnt bonds."
Lawrence interrupted their squabble. If there's no money, what to do? Then use the big move, activate the nuclear-powered money-printing machine to shear wool from the whole world.
Although Lawrence was dissatisfied with the military, he understood that to secure his position, the support of the monstrous military-industrial complex was crucial.
Finishing his words, Lawrence then turned his gaze to Judith, asking, "CIA also needs to strengthen its efforts, obtaining those biological technology secrets from Jieke Group."
Judith nodded, her bitterness known only to herself.
Since Jieke Group rose to prominence, the leading technologies they showcased—Biological cha, gene technology, Human Body Transformation Technology, Special Effect dicine, tunneling machinery, Advanced Electronic Shielding Technology, Virtual AI Glasses.
These technologies represented enormous interests. The military-industrial complexes of Beautiful Country, the erging tech and internet giants, pharmaceutical companies, and longstanding financial families, all were red-eyed and drooling over them.
CIA had sent nurous spies and even bought insiders, all to uncover those technological secrets.
The outcos were mostly fruitless, with their own people often thrown into situations like "throwing at buns to the dogs," disappearing without a return.
When Jieke Group was entrenched in Chan Country, it was already so difficult to deal with. Back then, discovered agents still had a chance to flee to neighboring countries to evade assassination. Now that the opposition dominates Southeast Asia, it would certainly be even more ruthless; being discovered ant almost certain death.
