152: Chapter 152 Biological Warfare! Charles's True Colors Revealed!

Setting backdoors in military equipment isn't something only you in China know how to do, right?

The Western Alliance nations have been operating this way since World War II!

Aren't those top military scientists still just taking things apart as they should?

It won't take more than a few months to dismantle and extract all the technology!

Wallace also shook his head. Truth be told, these Chinese people are sometimes very smart, but sometimes they are truly foolishly cute!

"We won't dismantle it, we won't!"

"Chief Li, thank you for your reminder!"

"We never do anything without being certain!" the defense ministers of the Western Alliance nations chuckled.

General Li Jingwu's mouth curled slightly as he returned the smile.

"Then I can rest assured."

...

The US.

The Black Palace.

In front of the office.

Secretary of Defense Charles stood there holding a stack of documents, hesitating to move forward.

"Charles, go on in, be bold," Smith, the director of the CIA, comforted him from the side.

"Facing the current situation, it is not entirely your fault."

"No one could have anticipated that China, with its backward technological level, would suddenly be able to produce so many epoch-making military technologies!"

"This shows that China has been planning this for a long time!"

"It is very likely that they started laying the groundwork ten or twenty years ago!"

"The Chinese are indeed synonymous with being despicable and shameless; they are also particularly patient and have grand designs. This is truly not your fault!"

"I believe Trump will definitely understand."

After hearing Smith's words, Charles's anxious mood eased quite a bit.

"Let's go in together; I will speak up for you!"

"Okay!"

Charles took a deep breath, knocked twice, and pushed the door open to enter.

Inside the office, Trump was leaning back in his leather chair, holding an iPhone 5 and scrolling incessantly, not knowing what he was browsing.

Seeing the two enter, he just looked up for a moment before burying his head back down, immersed in browsing his phone.

Seeing that Trump's expression was normal and he seemed to be in a good mood, Charles breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, this is the latest research and judgment data from the Pentagon. Please take a look."

"Just put it there."

Charles placed the documents on the desk and discovered that Trump had no intention of picking them up to read, which made his heart skip a beat.

"Sir, how about I give you a brief introduction?"

Trump didn't even look up, just nodded.

"Go ahead."

Charles picked up the documents and began to speak.

"The first is the research and judgment regarding China's Exoskeleton Armor."

"At the China Military Industry equipment exhibition two days ago, our allies snapped up quite a lot of China's Exoskeleton Armor."

"China promised delivery in five days."

"Which means it will be delivered to each country in at most three days."

"At that time, we can officially launch the technology dismantling operation!"

"Under the arrangement of the Pentagon, military scientists and senior researchers from various Western Alliance nations have officially gathered at the National Armaments Research Center."

"Among them are three top-tier scientists of Nobel Prize caliber!"

"I believe that within a month at most, we can make breakthrough progress in Exoskeleton Armor technology!"

Upon hearing this, Trump finally looked up and nodded in approval.

"Well done."

Hearing Trump's praise, Charles felt a surge of joy in his heart, and his voice became much louder.

"Also, sir!"

"The second item is regarding China's 'Xuanwu' Aerospace Fighter!"

"According to China's delivery plan, our allies will be able to receive the 'Xuanwu' Aerospace Fighter in about a year at the earliest!"

"At that time, we can officially dismantle the technology!"

"Regarding this, the Pentagon has also made quite a lot of preparations in advance, concerning the Dominator Fighter Jet..."

"Wait a moment."

Charles's words were interrupted halfway by Trump.

"I have a very important question I want to ask you."

"Sir, please go ahead."

"Dismantling technology, copying technology, imitating technology!"

Trump stared at Charles, his eyes seemingly filled with infinite rage.

"Why!"

"Why has our great US suddenly fallen to this point?!"

Suddenly encountering a storm of rage, Charles panicked.

"Sir, this was just a momentary oversight by the Pentagon! It is mainly because the despicable and shameless Chinese people are too patient! We have now raised sufficient attention..."

"You should resign and take responsibility."

"In front of the great US scientists, we can certainly quickly restore our previous technological dominance..."

Charles was stunned.

"Sir, what... what did you say?"

"I said, Charles, you should resign and take responsibility!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Charles looked at Trump in disbelief, as if he had suddenly been doused with a bucket of cold water in the middle of winter, feeling chilled from head to toe!

Trump showed the interface on his phone to Charles.

"According to the latest polls,"

"My approval rating has dropped from 75% previously to 38% in a short period."

"Especially after the '10.8' shadowing incident occurred, the polls regarding me instantly dropped by 8 percentage points."

"On Bluebird, every one of my tweets has countless netizens attacking and cursing me, telling me to step down immediately."

"The Democratic Party's attack on our current administration is also unprecedentedly fierce."

"This is a very terrifying thing."

Trump stared at Charles and said, word for word.

"So, I need someone to stand up and take responsibility for these things."

"Charles, do you understand?"

Charles's mouth tasted bitter. He wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word.

Smith, who was to the side, had intended to plead for him, but after hearing Trump's words, he didn't dare to make a sound either.

Charles could take the fall, and he, Smith, could naturally take the fall too!

"Have I made myself clear enough?"

Charles didn't reply. No matter what, he could not resign from this position as Secretary of Defense just like that!

Over the years of serving as the US Secretary of Defense, he had made too many enemies!

If he just resigned to take responsibility like this, he certainly wouldn't have a good ending!

For the sake of his future, and for the sake of his life, Charles gritted his teeth hard.

"Trump, I have a plan!"

"A plan that can completely destroy China!"

Trump knew that Charles would definitely not be reconciled, so to appease his emotions, he nodded and said: "Tell me about it."

Charles took out a folder from the documents and handed it to Trump.

"In our modern warfare, besides hot war!"

"There is another ultimate weapon, biological warfare!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Smith turned his head abruptly and stared fixedly at Charles, a glimmer of sharpness appearing in his eyes.

"During World War II, we seized many live-subject experiment materials from Japan's STO unit, and handed them over to the Kede Laboratory for secret research!"

"Combined with the small portion of the Chinese human gene database materials that our intelligence agents obtained from China's Yanhuang Project five years ago."

"Currently, there has been breakthrough progress!"

Charles's tone became more and more sinister as he spoke.

"Give me another half a year, and we will be able to develop a type of novel RNA virus that specifically targets the Chinese people at the genetic level!"
