560: Chapter 560 Deliberately Exposing Whereabouts
"Brother Niu, arrange for a diplomatic note to be sent to the Egula Democratic Republic. I want to meet them," Oriental Chen contacted Niu Xingwang.
"Okay, should we arrange an online meeting or send a delegation over?" Niu Xingwang asked.
"Since it's our first contact, let's send a delegation. That way, we can also learn more about the situation," Oriental Chen thought for a moment and replied.
"Okay!"
Half an hour later.
"Mr. Dongfang, they have agreed. The meeting will be the day after tomorrow morning," Niu Xingwang replied.
"Very good. You arrange the personnel and ensure all protective measures are in place."
"Okay."
Due to a six-hour time difference between Bato City and Egula's capital, Okay Luo, and the fact that the nearest flight route would have to pass through the airspace of Mordo or India-Pakistan, which is quite dangerous, for safety, they could only first fly south through Huaguo airspace into the South China Sea, and then west across the Indian Ocean to the African continent.
The detoured route was 15,000 kilometers long and would take nearly 20 hours at full speed.
According to calculations, Oriental Chen's delegation would need to depart no later than 8:00 PM tomorrow evening to successfully arrive at 10:00 AM Okay Luo time.
This time was enough for Niu Xingwang to make arrangements.

Jingdu, Council Building.
"Old Qin, the Ulan Neutral Zone has applied for a flight route from us," Baili Ji said.
"Oh? Why has this Oriental Chen suddenly become so well-behaved? Hasn't he always flown wherever he pleased? When has he ever applied for a route?" Old Qin sounded as if he had heard something new.
"I think this situation is quite special," Baili Ji replied.
"How is it special?"
"Their route is to the South China Sea."
"What are they going to the South China Sea for?" Old Qin also found it strange.
"Unclear."
"No, there's something fishy here," Old Qin mused.
According to his understanding, even if they were flying to the South China Sea, there was no need to specifically apply for a route. The Ulan Neutral Zone's flight planning system was interconnected with the Huatong Chamber of Commerce, and with the Council's tacit approval and the cooperation of the four Military Regions, Oriental Chen had always flown freely.
"Is this Oriental Chen hinting at something?" Baili Ji asked.
"This kid, I don't know what he's up to. I haven't been able to reach him for days. I'll try calling again," Old Qin shook his head helplessly.
This time, the call actually went through.
"Hello, Old Qin."
"You brat, where are you?" Old Qin asked, annoyed.
"I'm at the base!" Oriental Chen lied.
"Why couldn't I reach you these past few days?"
"Ah! I caught a cold after returning from Bayinbuluke and rested for a few days," Oriental Chen fabricated a lie.
It wasn't out of any malicious intent, but the current situation made it unsuitable to say too much.
At present, it was truly unclear who was a friend and who was a foe.
"The Military Political Department just reported that you applied for a route to the South China Sea. What's going on?"
"Oh, I plan to arrange for a delegation to visit Egula."
There was nothing to keep secret about this matter.
"That's it? When did you become so polite?" Old Qin still didn't quite believe him.
"Old Qin, what are you saying? Isn't this normal procedure?" Oriental Chen chuckled.
"It's normal for others, but not for you."
"Old Qin, talking like this, you're really going to kill the conversation."
"Tell me the truth!"
"It is the truth! If you don't believe me, send someone to follow us," Oriental Chen said.
"Alright then, you rest well!"
With that, Old Qin hung up the phone.
"Old Qin, what did he say?" Baili Ji asked.
"He said he's going to visit Egula," Old Qin replied.
Baili Ji walked to the map, looked at it, and pondered for a moment.
"From the current situation, this route is indeed safer. But what is the purpose of his superfluous action?" Baili Ji asked.
Baili Ji did not believe that Oriental Chen's deliberate application for a route was an unintentional act.
"I don't think the problem is with the route. Don't you find it strange that this kid is suddenly visiting Egula? As far as I know, he has never actively visited any country before," Old Qin analyzed.
"Are you saying there's something wrong with Egula?" Baili Ji understood.
"Perhaps there's a problem with Egula, but there's also another possibility."
"What possibility?"
"He might be deliberately exposing his whereabouts," Old Qin mused.
"Exactly, that must be it!" Baili Ji agreed.
"Leak the news of Oriental Chen's planned visit to Egula, and I believe many little devils will voluntarily jump out," Old Qin said.
Everyone now knew that Oriental Chen was the mastermind behind the Huatong Chamber of Commerce, and his existence restricted the interests of many people.
Especially the Moni Sect elements lurking within Huaguo's official system, they would certainly not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Moreover, the Mordo Grand Ceremony was about to begin, and these people were also worried that Oriental Chen would use the excuse of visiting Egula to stir up trouble.
