131: Chapter 131 Have you heard of the Strategic Deception Bureau?
USA, The Pentagon.
In the office, General Arnold looked at the document in his hand with a gloomy expression.
"Fuck!"
"Damn the people of the Dragon Kingdom, how dare they play me for a fool!"
General Arnold crumpled the document in a fit of rage and threw it into the trash can.
The female assistant lowered her head, trembling with fear, not daring to say a word.
"Who would believe that those are movie props? Do they take me for a child?"
General Arnold said bitterly.
It is said that the Dragon Kingdom is cunning and skilled in the art of war.
He didn't believe it before, but now he has seen it for himself.
This time.
Not only did he lose all face at The Pentagon, but he also made the USA the laughingstock of the international community.
"A humiliation, what a huge humiliation!"
General Arnold was extremely angry, his rolls of fat trembling.
After a good while, he slowly calmed down and took a sip of coffee.
At this moment, the assistant dared to speak.
"General Arnold, many officials from The White House have come, saying they need to speak with you."
The female assistant said in a weak tone.
"I'm not seeing them!" General Arnold waved his hand directly, his face becoming very ugly again.
The assistant bit her red lips, "But..."
"Tell them to get lost; I'm not seeing anyone today!"
General Arnold cut her off directly.
With officials from The White House coming at this time, he didn't even need to think to know what it was for.
It was nothing more than to mock him to his face and take the opportunity to pressure him, telling him to stop always thinking about asking for funding.
General Arnold had a hot temper, and he didn't want to see their ugly, smirking faces right now.
The female assistant was in a difficult position.
On one side was the hot-tempered General.
On the other side were the high-ranking officials from The White House.
"What are you still standing there for? Get them to leave quickly; I'm not serving them!"
Seeing that the female assistant hadn't left for a long time, General Arnold suddenly said angrily.
"Yes! I... I'll go right now!"
The female assistant hardened her heart and walked out.
Anyway, no matter what she did, she would offend both sides, so it was better to follow General Arnold's instructions.
After all, she was now General Arnold's person.
The officials from The White House outside, hearing that General Arnold refused to see guests, flew into a fit of impotent rage and cursed at General Arnold through the door.
General Arnold pretended not to hear anything, put on his Bluetooth headset made in the Dragon Kingdom, and ignored the outside world.
After the chaotic noise outside stopped, he took off his headset.
At this time, the female assistant walked in from outside.
Her hair was messy, her face was very flushed, she was panting, and her clothes were disheveled.
Even one of the heels on her high heels had fallen off.
That group of officials was too barbaric; she alone had held off four or five of them, guarding strictly, and finally managed to stop them from breaking in.
"General Arnold, th... they have left!"
The female assistant said, gasping for breath.
Because one heel was missing, her body was swaying.
The black stockings on her legs were torn in some places, revealing a large hole.
The battle had worn her out.
The female assistant was helpless too!
Usually, these officials seemed gentle and refined, but she hadn't expected them to be so barbaric and rude when angry.
Seeing her in this state, General Arnold's expression softened quite a bit.
"You've worked hard!"
"I don't have anything else here; go back and change your clothes!"
The female assistant breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes!"
She limped and stumbled out of the office.
General Arnold narrowed his eyes, watching her walk out.
Just as he was staring blankly, the phone on his desk rang.
He frowned and answered very reluctantly, "Hello!"
"General Arnold!" The voice of Director Joseph came from the phone.
Director Joseph felt that since he was the one who gave the intelligence to General Arnold.
Now that it had turned into such an embarrassing situation, he felt it was necessary to apologize to General Arnold.
Unexpectedly, as soon as General Arnold heard his voice, he flew into a rage.
"Director Joseph! I was just about to call you, I didn't expect you to call first!"
"Damn! Director Joseph, you piece of trash! All of you in the CIIA are a bunch of trash!"
"Look at what kind of garbage intelligence you've gathered?"
General Arnold berated Director Joseph severely.
He was furious!
If it weren't for the intelligence provided by Director Joseph, how could things have ended up like this?
Not only did they lose all face, but now the Dragon Kingdom was laughing at them.
Director Joseph dared not refute and could only let General Arnold curse him.
"General Arnold, this is my dereliction of duty!"
"But please believe me, the intelligence is absolutely correct; it's just that those Dragon Kingdom people are too cunning, calling black white."
"The Doomsday Vehicle and Powered Exoskeleton Mecha are definitely real, because they were all produced from the factory area of Xu's Heavy Industry."
Director Joseph seized the gap when General Arnold wasn't speaking to defend himself hurriedly.
"General Arnold, you must know. Previously, the Dragon Kingdom military itself had made it public that their A-225 Military Transport Aircraft was independently developed by Xu's Heavy Industry."
"A heavy industry enterprise capable of building large Transport Aircraft, it is not surprising that they can also build the Doomsday Vehicle and Powered Exoskeleton Mecha!"
Director Joseph let out a long sigh, finally finishing what he had to say.
General Arnold sneered, "And then? What can you do?"
"The Dragon Kingdom officials now insist that those are all props? Now the international community generally treats this diplomatic incident as a joke."
"Do you want me to apply to those people in The White House to impose sanctions on the Dragon Kingdom? To hold military exercises around the Dragon Kingdom?"
"Director Joseph, we have already been treated as clowns; do you still want to perform for them?"
General Arnold's voice grew louder and louder, saliva splattering in the air.
"General Arnold, that's not what I meant! I..."
Director Joseph hesitated to speak, and General Arnold cut him off directly.
"Enough! I don't want to hear your explanations anymore!"
After saying this, General Arnold hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy signal in the phone receiver, Director Joseph sighed long, his face full of helplessness.
Regarding the statement from the Dragon Kingdom, he was also completely baffled.
Who could have thought that the intelligence he had painstakingly intercepted would be cleverly resolved by a 'dramatic' statement from the Dragon Kingdom.
Not only did it not bring them any crisis, but it also plunged the USA into an embarrassing situation.
"I'm afraid... this year's army funding will be cut by those people in The White House again!"
It's no wonder General Arnold would be so angry.
Director Joseph sneered.
He had seen that statement from the Dragon Kingdom.
Director Joseph felt that the Dragon Kingdom was one hundred percent fooling them.
He had long heard that the Strategic Deception Bureau of the Dragon Kingdom was quite capable; he hadn't expected the Dragon Kingdom's official bluffing ability to be even better!
But he didn't have more intelligence and couldn't obtain the data on the Doomsday Vehicle and Powered Exoskeleton Mecha.
Therefore.
Even though he guessed this in his heart, he couldn't produce effective evidence.
On the contrary, the Dragon Kingdom presented facts.
Because the Doomsday Vehicle and Powered Exoskeleton Mecha were indeed props from the sci-fi movie The Wandering Earth.
This movie was very popular in the Dragon Kingdom, and it had even become a hit overseas, being very popular in cinemas in many foreign countries.
"No! I have to go to the cinema to see how their props really are!"
Director Joseph felt very unhappy.
He had been scolded for no reason, and his own mole had been taken out by the Dragon Kingdom officials; he was holding a belly full of fire.
He found that ever since Xu's Heavy Industry appeared, much of his work had started to go wrong.
"Xu's Heavy Industry!"
Director Joseph frowned.
"I must find out more information about you!"
"Moreover, in the photos taken by the mouse before, it inadvertently captured a building similar to an underground laboratory."
"Inside that... something must be being developed!"
Director Joseph's gaze darkened, intending to use more means to inquire about intelligence on Xu's Heavy Industry.
"Forget it, let's go watch the movie first."
"Maybe I can find some inspiration from this sci-fi movie from the Dragon Kingdom, and we can also build the Doomsday Vehicle and Powered Exoskeleton Mecha."
"Once we build the physical objects, we'll scare the high-level officials of the Dragon Kingdom!"
Director Joseph fantasized.
