402: Chapter 402: Ignorance is Fearless

“Why aren’t you answering? What are you staring at?” Old Mantis pushed him, urging him.

“You…you tell him we are devils from hell, and that he should honestly confess, or else we’ll drag him into a pot of boiling oil!” The Boss’s imagination ran wild.

“#”, the officer said, nodding and bowing.

“He’s begging you not to put him in boiling oil. Ask him anything you want!” The dog translated.

“He’s sensible enough! Ask him what he’s doing here?”

After the dog finished translating, the officer replied.

“He said he was instructed by his superiors to conduct an on-site investigation of the road network within Myanmar-Vietnam,” the dog translated.

“Why investigate the road network?” The Boss asked.

“He said the Great Sun Country plans to station troops along the border between China and Myanmar,” the dog translated.

“Station troops along the China-Myanmar border? This devil is quite bold, trying to invade China again?” The Boss looked at Tang Kun and said.

“You ask him! How would I know?” Tang Kun said.

“What is the purpose of your troop deployment to the China-Myanmar border?”

“The Great Sun Country plans to occupy the area south of the Yangtze River in China.”

“It’s true. This is truly like lighting a lantern in an outhouse, seeking death.” The Boss sighed after understanding the situation.

Once the situation was clear, the three captured devil officers were useless.

They weren’t even allowed to soak in the vinegar barrel anymore; they were directly dragged out and executed.

“Should we do something?” The Boss asked.

He knew Tang Kun was Chinese, and Chinese people are very patriotic.

“No need!” Tang Kun shook his head.

He had already sent the message back through his Digital Eye.

“You’re so amazing, aren’t you going back to serve your country?” The Boss looked at him and asked.

“No need!” Tang Kun still shook his head, not saying much.

“Old Mantis, whenever the topic of China comes up, you clam up. What’s wrong? Could it be that you’ve committed a crime? And a serious one at that!” The Boss speculated.

“That’s right! What’s wrong? Otherwise, why would I run to this godforsaken place?” Tang Kun glanced at him.

“Good! Good! It’s good that you’ve committed a crime!” The Boss laughed.

“What do you mean?” Tang Kun asked.

“That way, we brothers can stay here forever!” The Boss chuckled foolishly.

Tang Kun’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

His eyes felt a little sore.

This Boss was actually someone he had only met after coming here.

At that time, he was injured and on the verge of death.

Tang Kun saved him.

Later, he helped him get revenge and occupied Tachileik.

However, Tang Kun didn't want to be the Boss, finding it troublesome, so he let him do it.

And this guy, he really was the Boss here before.

It was just that coincidental.

He was very loyal, which, in the past, would have been a fatal flaw.

Another flaw: being a chatterbox.

“Oh, by the way, Old Mantis, what’s the deal with your dog? How can it speak human language? And two languages at that.” The Boss asked.

“It knows more than two,” Old Mantis said, looking at the dog.

“How many then?” The Boss asked.

...

Upon receiving the news, Oriental Chen immediately informed Yan Zhengping through Yan Fangfang.

The border area between Myanmar-Vietnam and China falls within the Southwest Military Region’s sphere of influence.

After Yan Zhengping received the news, he urgently reported it to the Council.

On December 12, 2055.

The Council held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

There were several main issues:

1. The southern region was too dangerous; sending troops there could result in heavy casualties.

2. The danger was equivalent, so why would the Great Sun Country do this?

3. Passive defense was very difficult. As long as the Great Sun Country did not abandon its strategy of invading China, it would need to continuously deploy heavy troops there, which would consume a lot of resources.

Subsequently, Yan Zhengping proposed a plan that simultaneously solved the first and third problems.

This plan was to build unmanned watchtowers along the southern border.

It was the same kind that Oriental Chen had built on the Ulan Country border.

With watchtowers, there would be no need for long-term troop stationing, which would minimize casualties.

The Council also knew that this technology was provided by his supplier, so they wisely didn't ask too many questions.

Now the only question was, why would the Great Sun Country do this?

Although there were reports of cabinet changes in the Great Sun Country and the rise of militarism.

But what time was it now? Everyone was struggling to survive, overwhelmed with problems. Where would they find the energy and resources to wage war?

Yet, the Great Sun Country did just that.

And it had already occupied the entire Southeast Asia.

Ultimately, the widely accepted hypothesis was that the Great Sun Country had also learned about the ecological crisis and was eager to establish a new homeland in tropical regions.

However, the biggest problem with this hypothesis was the timing.

Currently, the North Temperate Zone was in winter, which was the time of least risk. Their choice to invade Southeast Asia at this time would inevitably lead to heavy casualties. Moreover, if they couldn't resist the virus, going there would be a dead end.

No one understood that there was actually an information gap here.

The Red Coat Sect promised to provide the Great Sun Country with medicine, a medicine that could resist the virus.

The naive Great Sun Country believed it to be true.

One could only say that the ignorant are fearless.
