United States.
"Bang~~"
Annesley’s boss slammed his office door furiously and poured himself a glass of milk, feeling absolutely enraged. Damn it, this pack of mad dogs were not only incompetent, but they also bit whoever they caught.
He even got dragged into it.
What a mess.
It was as if they couldn’t solve a problem, so they decided to eliminate the person who pointed out the problem.
Shameless, isn’t it?
And furthermore,
the Security Council had joined the fray, spouting nonsense, causing him to be summoned by his boss as soon as he got to work. Luckily, his boss was on his side. Otherwise, he couldn’t have continued working.
And the origin of it all
was the helpless Ling. It wouldn’t kill you to buy some weapons, right? There was no need for cash upfront. We could provide all the loans, and you could pay back slowly, but no, you had to be stubborn.
In the short term.
They probably wouldn’t have the energy to cause trouble in India.
"I just can’t believe it, Ling—I won’t let you become a black mark on my record. Humph, and Annesley, that trash. After all this time, is this the only answer you have for me?"
Accompanying that,
he also noted down Annesley.
Such bold words, perfectly delivered through his expression. If it had been made into a movie, this guy’s acting would have been full of skill. Unfortunately, he would only be acting in prison now.
Following that,
with the introduction of miracle drugs,
Myanmar would certainly be scrutinized under a magnifying glass by the whole world. To keep the United States from having too much energy to trouble Ling, the Command Room suggested keeping the United States occupied during the transition period.
How to keep them busy?
Obviously, from within.
The United States had no external enemies, or rather, no opponents that could drain much of its energy. The Great Powers were restrained, only engaging in verbal and economic skirmishes at most.
They couldn’t contain it.
The only ones who could
were the Americans themselves.
This time.
Tang Qing planned to let the ’Snowden’ incident kick off early. As everyone knew, the United States’ Intelligence Departments were filled with games and transactions, and previously, it had been difficult for fighters to infiltrate.
This time.
He was prepared to completely crack the ’shells’ of the major US intelligence agencies by heavily planting his own people inside them, tying down the internal energy of the United States while also alleviating some pressure off Ling.
Finally.
It was also to pave the way for the ERV consortium’s plans.
Killing several birds with one stone.
Only in murky waters,
can one catch fish.
Thus,
when Annesley’s boss was in the office lambasting people, several emails were sent to the US Security Council’s internal affairs, the CIA received two faxes, and the FBI’s informant passed back an ’important clue.’
The real show.
Was about to begin.
...
Japan.
Villa.
Tang Qing was happily following the developments.
This time, to see them not agitated for a while, emails and intelligence were just the superficial aspects, but they successfully ignited the contradictions between several departments, irreconcilable contradictions.
And this.
Was only the beginning. It was well known that these were the cornerstones of the United States’ internal security. Without an absolute reason and a significantly powerful external force, an outsider simply couldn’t break this relationship.
Previously, there hadn’t been such a large external force.
Now.
There was.
...
In the following days.
Under the leadership of Ge Feng and Maruyama Takeshi,
Tang Qing’s family toured some renowned sites in Japan, which though despised by the locals, seemed too regrettable to miss out on, making for a rather peculiar sentiment.
The fourth day.
Maruyama Takeshi specifically took them for a ride on the Shinkansen.
"It’s so fast," Tang’s father exhaled.
"In no time, we’ll have one in the domestic market too, and it will be the biggest, longest high-speed railway network in the world." In the future, the mileage of Huaxia high-speed rail would be the envy of the entire world.
Now.
There were already express trains, but the general high-speed rail would still take another two years before officially launching. Then, uncontrollable, the label of "infrastructure maniac" would let the world see the frenzy of Huaxia.
Tang’s father curiously asked, "How fast can it go?"
"Three hundred kilometers per hour, and four hundred at the limit. But for safety, after balancing factors like scheduling and stability, three hundred kilometers per hour is the more economical speed," Tang Qing explained.
"Good, very good. Back in the day, we thought eighty kilometers per hour was fast."
Tang Kai reminisced about the experience of ’fleeing’ in the past.
He sighed deeply in his heart.
Back then, the future was uncertain.
His wife had followed him through thick and thin; and now, although they didn’t have their own children, they had a well-behaved and sensible daughter, and in addition, the Tang Family had an exceedingly excellent descendant like Tang Qing.
Tang Kai felt content.
Unfortunately.
In the past, he thought he could give Tang Qing half of his property, but later realized he had been too optimistic. Tang Qing’s wealth was even greater than his, an unimaginable amount of property that even his nephew would not covet.
At that moment.
A discordant voice rang out.
"A bunch of bumpkins."
Tang Qing was stunned.
This... shouldn’t be.
This was Japanese, which the Tang Family didn’t understand, but Tang Qing, who spoke over a dozen foreign languages, glared over with a look that, though he wore sunglasses, was intensely imposing.
"Trouble comes from the mouth, young man, don’t be too arrogant." 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
These words were spoken in Japanese, frightening the young man into trembling.
After a few seconds.
Tang Qing turned his head.
Fortunately.
This guy wasn’t so insensitive and cowardly, his mouth didn’t make things dirtier; otherwise, Tang Qing would have really been put in an awkward situation. Dealing with such minor characters was utterly uninteresting.
"Tangtang, what were you saying to him?"
"Nothing much, just chatting about the weather."
"Oh."
Next.
Along the way.
Their good mood was not spoiled; they enjoyed the scenery. Travelling miles could compare to reading thousands of books; Maruyama Takeshi dutifully acted as their tour guide, introducing them to novel sights.
Seeing his family happy.
Tang Qing felt very pleased.
...
While Tang Qing and his family were ’swaying’ on the Shinkansen.
Burma.
Annesley received a phone call.
Like a bolt from the blue.
He was stunned.
In the morning he learned that his superior had been taken from his office. After much inquiry with no results, it was clear that his boss had become a ’sacrifice’. Annesley drifted through the morning dazed.
Now.
Kan Qin himself called to tell him.
The truth behind the withdrawal of those patent medicines.
It wasn’t to make room for Western giants in the market, but because Burma had new alternative medicines that had rapidly passed clinical testing. Kan Qin said that by the second of next month, all the generic drugs on the Burmese market would be replaced.
Those pharmaceutical giants who had even prepared their stocks.
Became a joke.
And Annesley.
Again had to carry the label of incompetence.
But.
This time.
It seemed everyone up top was too busy with internal strife to bother about him. Thinking about it, Annesley was unsure whether to be happy or to cry. After pondering, he guessed he’d cry and then rejoice.
