Chapter 239 Is the Dragon Kingdom Going to Create Monsters?

The Secretary of State paused, keenly capturing the word "we" in Representative Gu Chuanwen's words!

A trace of doubt arose in his heart!

"We?"

"Isn't it just me who came to watch the program?"

"Why say 'we'?"

He pondered this secretly in his heart, but soon felt that perhaps the other party had included his bodyguards and team as well.

However, he had not forgotten his purpose. He realized this was a good opportunity to dig deeper for information, so he asked calmly:

"It's clear that you are very confident about the upcoming Spring Festival Gala!"

"Can you tell me what is particularly good about the upcoming programs?"

"You might not know this, but I am full of curiosity about everything, and I hate it when people leave me hanging."

As he spoke, he looked at Representative Gu Chuanwen with an expression that seemed relaxed yet full of anticipation.

Representative Gu Chuanwen sneered inwardly, seeing through the Secretary of State's little schemes clearly!

However, he said with a somewhat helpless look on his face:

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Secretary of State, but this is something written into our non-disclosure agreement!"

"Even I don't know the content; I was only told that this program is extraordinary."

Representative Gu Chuanwen glanced at the Secretary of State, his expression conveying an unquestionable attitude!

"Rest assured, after the Spring Festival Gala, everything will be known."

The US Secretary of State saw that Representative Gu Chuanwen refused to disclose anything and felt unwilling to give up, but it was not appropriate to press further. Rolling his eyes, he thought of a new topic.

A look of curiosity appeared on his face as he asked:

"When we were coming over, I heard that you closed the entry and exit channels!"

"This is very unusual! What is your country preparing to do? Of course, if it involves your country's secrets, just pretend I didn't ask!"

"I only came to watch the Spring Festival Gala; I have no interest in your country's secrets at all!"

He said this with his mouth, but in his heart, he was dying for Representative Gu Chuanwen to reveal something.

Representative Gu Chuanwen smiled calmly and said:

"What a coincidence, even if you want to know, I can't tell you anything because this is a decision from above, and I know nothing about it!"

His tone was calm and firm, showing no signs of wavering.

The US Secretary of State gritted his teeth in his heart, but still had to maintain a smile on his face, cursing inwardly:

"I didn't expect these people from the Dragon Kingdom to be so tight-lipped. I can't pry any information out of them at all. It's truly detestable!"

At this moment, Representative Gu Chuanwen suddenly chuckled and said slowly: "However, I heard it has to do with the Spring Festival Gala."

"The Spring Festival Gala????"

The US Secretary of State almost couldn't help but curse, thinking to himself:

"What the hell does closing the entry and exit channels have to do with a lousy Spring Festival Gala program?"

"Do you really take me for a fool?"

However, he still said: "It seems this year's Spring Festival Gala is indeed extraordinary!"

He tried hard to make his tone sound full of anticipation, not wanting Representative Gu Chuanwen to see his dissatisfaction.

Immediately after, the unwilling Secretary of State raised his final question:

"Then does my visit this time have any impact on your country's entry and exit?"

"After all, you have closed the channels, and yet we are still visiting. I'm afraid this isn't fair to others, is it?"

He tried to find a breakthrough from this angle again.

Representative Gu Chuanwen laughed: "What's unfair about that?"

"We closed the regular channels, but you are distinguished guests who have contributed 300 billion US dollars to the future cause of humanity!"

"If other countries were as generous as you, they would also be our distinguished guests, and we would certainly welcome and treat them warmly."

The US Secretary of State grumbled to himself:

"Hmph, you always have a justification for everything. You guys are really something!"

He sighed inwardly!

Hopefully, this visit will yield some results, otherwise, those 300 billion US dollars will truly have been thrown down the drain.

After a while, the plane began to prepare for landing.

The US Secretary of State looked out through the porthole, his brows furrowed slightly, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

He discovered that the location where the plane was about to land did not seem to be the Kyoto Airport he was familiar with.

In the distance was a vast ocean, sparkling with waves; this place seemed to be a coastal city.

He was a bit puzzled, turned his head, and voiced his question:

"Ambassador Gu, this doesn't seem to be Kyoto, right? Where are we going?"

Representative Gu Chuanwen took a look out the window, nodded, and said:

"This is indeed not Kyoto Airport, but this is the place where the Spring Festival Gala will be held."

The US Secretary of State felt even stranger after hearing this. Doubts arose in his heart, but for a moment, he couldn't say what was wrong.

He pondered in his heart:

"Strange, I remember that the previous Spring Festival Gala programs were all held in Kyoto, right? Why arrange the Spring Festival Gala in a coastal city this time?"

"Could the information be wrong? Or is there some other trick to this?"

After the plane landed smoothly, the group walked off the aircraft, and a black sedan that had been arranged in advance was already waiting by the tarmac.

The sedan's body was pitch black and shiny, reflecting a mysterious luster under the sun; it was low-key yet luxurious.

Surrounded by bodyguards, the Secretary of State got into the car with Representative Gu Chuanwen.

The sedan started slowly and drove from the airport toward the destination.

The scenery along the way kept flashing by, but the Secretary of State had no heart to appreciate it; his mind was filled with guesses about the venue for this Spring Festival Gala.

Finally, the sedan arrived at the destination—Longhang Shipyard.

When the US Secretary of State saw the magnificent scene of the shipyard before him, he couldn't help but be startled.

He saw that the shipyard was grand in scale, almost boundless at a glance.

The huge dry docks were like the footprints of giants, deeply embedded in the earth, with ships under construction parked inside. Those massive steel skeletons shone with a cold metallic luster under the sun, as if they were sleeping giant beasts.

Towering gantry cranes stood everywhere like steel giants, their long arms capable of easily lifting tons of components, making one feel the shock of industrial power.

Inside the shipyard, workers shuttled back and forth busily, and the roaring sounds from various mechanical equipment intertwined, forming a unique industrial symphony.

The Secretary of State's eyes were full of shock and doubt, and he couldn't help but blurt out:

"Such a massive shipyard, is this to build monsters?"
