453: Chapter 452 Taking the Initiative!

Two hours passed.

General Li Jingwu, covering every minute detail, finally explained the entire background of the matter and the cause and effect of this operation.

After listening to General Li Jingwu's introduction, Xiang Guangming leaned back in his chair, stunned, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Unlike a normal person, as a high-level official in the scientific research circle directly under Lin Mo, he had long known that the Trisolaran Civilization was not a dream fabricated by Lin Mo, but an extraterrestrial civilization that truly existed.

However, due to confidentiality reasons, even a top-tier bigwig like him, who held the rank of academician, remained completely ignorant of the specific situation regarding the Trisolaran Civilization. Consequently, he had not felt any sense of crisis.

Now, however, General Li Jingwu was telling him that the enemy had not only arrived at their doorstep but also wanted him, Xiang Guangming, to take the lead in opening the door to welcome the guests...

"...Tell me," Xiang Guangming looked at General Li Jingwu, who was sitting with his legs crossed on the other side of the desk, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Do you think a bit too highly of me?"

"Based on current deductions, Sophon has been hiding outside of China for so long. She must have already quietly beguiled quite a few people and may have even secretly formed a sizable hostile organization."

"There are surely many old acquaintances among them. It won't be easy to just infiltrate, especially since I have other motives..."

After a pause, Xiang Guangming shook his head. "Old Li, to be honest, they aren't fools. Even if I disguise myself well, I'm afraid I'll be easily exposed. If the organization wants me to be an undercover agent, that's fine, but you can't just send me to my death. Don't you think?"

Xiang Guangming finished speaking. Unexpectedly, General Li Jingwu, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Damn it, you're laughing again!" Xiang Guangming said angrily. "Did I say something wrong?"

General Li Jingwu shook his head. "When did I ever say I wanted you to infiltrate them?"

Hearing this, Xiang Guangming was stunned. "You said it yourself!" "Which part?" "The strategy of 'usurping the host's role'—being an undercover agent!"

General Li Jingwu uncrossed his legs, sat up straight, looked at Xiang Guangming across from him, and smiled faintly.

"The strategy of 'usurping the host's role' lies in taking the initiative! If we did it the way you described, wouldn't we be passive at every turn? Do you think we are that stupid?"

Hearing this, Xiang Guangming was completely stunned. "Wh... what do you mean?"

General Li Jingwu smiled, leaned forward, and laid out all the specific details of the entire operation.

After listening, Xiang Guangming was completely dumbfounded.

"Your plan is... to actively establish a Trisolaran organization in North America in the name of the Trisolaran Civilization... And then... you want me... to pretend I have already gained the recognition of the Trisolaran Sophon and become the leader of this organization's gang?!"

General Li Jingwu corrected him. "What gang leader? It's the leader of the organization!"

Xiang Guangming said angrily. "General Li Jingwu! If I really go, Sophon will have me killed in a heartbeat!"

Hearing this, General Li Jingwu burst into laughter. "Kill you? You're a smart man; use your brain a little. Isn't Sophon currently staying on the moon?"

"Nonsense, Sophon is clearly... wait!..." As he spoke, Xiang Guangming suddenly froze.

Sophon and Lin Mo had previously reached a relevant framework agreement. However, for unknown reasons, Sophon had not honestly adhered to this agreement, and the result was discovered by Lin Mo. And this created an information gap!

"At this very moment, regardless of what happens on Blue Star, Sophon should theoretically be unaware. Isn't that right?" General Li Jingwu smiled slightly.

Xiang Guangming: "No, no, no, Sophon can completely instruct other people..."

General Li Jingwu shook his head and smiled. "Rest assured. Once the strategy of 'usurping the host's role' succeeds, we will occupy an absolute advantage."

"Regarding your safety, we will specifically form a 500-person international security company. The company's employees will all be Dragon Army soldiers wearing Kunlun Generation II Exoskeleton Armor. That is enough to ensure your absolute safety."

"Furthermore, our Dragon Army ground forces can openly station troops in North America, and our Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet squadrons can conduct combat-ready patrols over Blue Star 24 hours a day, coordinating with the Trisolaran organization you establish to eliminate any variables at any time."

"Under such high pressure, Sophon cannot appear on Blue Star without restraint. What can that group of people she secretly beguiled do on their own?"

General Li Jingwu gazed at Xiang Guangming and said earnestly, "With China's secret assistance, the knock-off Trisolaran organization you lead will inevitably grow rapidly. By then, the person truly stirring up trouble in North America will no longer be Sophon, but you, Xiang Guangming! This is the true meaning of 'usurping the host's role'!"

After hearing this, Xiang Guangming was left wide-eyed and speechless.
