Chapter 141 Satellite Intelligence Secrets
"Come on, Dad. Take it easy."

Wei Jiang stood cautiously one meter away from his father and spoke to calm his father's somewhat panicked and nervous emotions.

"Hey, brat, get out of the way."

"My arms are very flexible and I don't feel any weight at all."

When the mechanical armor submerged his head and his brain was sealed in the helmet, the initial discomfort and tension gradually dissipated.

He did not feel any suffocation, on the contrary, his breathing was smoother than before.

When outside, the more than two-meter-tall metal armor looked like a gigantic monster.

When he actually put on the armor, his body and arms moved as flexibly as before.

Bang!
With a slight wave of his arms, in front of the shocked gazes of the father and son, the wooden table next to him collapsed, and the items on the table fell to the ground.

Wei Jiang slowly turned his head to look at the armor helmet, and took another step back.

"My father, please slow down."

"Whether it rubs against the wall or me, I'm going to die."

Wei Yonghe, who was in armor, also felt embarrassed when he looked at the scattered items and broken glass on the ground.

"Sorry, didn't pay attention."

Slowly pulling his arms back to his sides, Wei Yonghe asked anxiously:
"How do I get out of this thing?"

"Let me out quickly. If this one causes more trouble, it will be hard to deal with if it attracts the neighbors in the village."

Wei Jiang did not object. His father did not need to wear armor to go to the battlefield. Armor was only a last resort to protect his personal safety. He just needed to know how to wear it.

"You said, Dark Star is closed."

Wei Yonghe's voice came from inside the helmet, and the sound of mechanical gears turning sounded again.

"Dark Star is closed!"

A few seconds later, the armor shrank and father Wei Yonghe appeared in the room with an excited expression.

The black mechanical components converged downward from the legs, and the rectangular mechanical creation under the feet slowly took shape and returned to its previous state.

Wei Jiang took a step forward and supported his father's trembling steps. Feeling the strong grip of his father's hands on his shoulders, he smiled and comforted the other person.

"Okay?"

"Dad, this thing has been in your room for the past few days."

"I will buy you some daily necessities before I go out. If there is any unexpected situation, just run to your room."

As he spoke, Wei Jiang pointed to the closed door and said:
"Close this door, put on your armor and wait inside."

Wei Jiang turned his father's body with both hands, stared into his father's eyes and said:
"As long as you put on the armor, basically no one outside can threaten you."

"Leave the rest to me, I'll be back as soon as possible."

Wei Yonghe had a complicated look in his eyes as he looked at his son's face, which had never been more serious before.

Things are definitely not simple!
Otherwise, Wei Jiang would never have told him so much and given him this big thing.

"Don't worry, I've fought with hooligans before."

"I also know a little about priorities and the rules of fighting."

Although his son was relieved, Wei Yonghe himself became even more worried.

No matter how you look at it or think about it, the trouble you're facing this time is not simple.

"Wei Jiang, I know you are powerful now."

"But what I want to say is, if there is really trouble, don't worry about me, just run away, if you run away, we still have hope."

"I'm just an old man."

Wei Yonghe pointed to the black mechanical base on the ground and said:
"What if you run out and run into danger without this thing? You should take it with you."

Wei Jiang shook his head, tilted his head towards the yard and said:

"Dad, how could I only have this one thing? My Wuling car is no worse than this armor, so don't worry."

Wei Yonghe thought of his son's strange Wuling, his expression complicated and his worry evident in his words.

"You better be careful. If something goes wrong with you, our family will really fall apart and be gone."

Wei Jiang felt ashamed. He had been working hard outside, but still couldn't provide his father with a stable life.

Holding his father's hand, Wei Jiang smiled gently.

"Don't worry, Dad."

"Your son now has many means at his disposal. As long as you are safe, nothing will be a problem."

Wei Jiang squatted down and walked to the Dark Star Armor, looked up and said to his father:
"Dad, come and help me move this thing to the corner and hide it."

"I have to clean up the things on the floor."

The next morning, when the construction team arrived, they gave some comments on the remains of the wooden table placed in the yard.

In addition, Wei Jiang drove away early, so they secretly thought that Wei Yonghe and his son had a quarrel and smashed the wooden table.

Therefore, even though they saw the wreckage of the wooden table, no one chose to ask Wei Yonghe himself, who looked worried.

"Eastern Continental Army encountered Avengers during military exercise, hundreds of heavy equipment damaged"

"A heavy blow to the Blue Star's First Route Army, how strong are the Avengers?"

"Official news report of Dongda University: Army weapons and equipment system undergoes large-scale upgrade and transformation"

The University of Tokyo conducted a large-scale army exercise, which made the surrounding forces very nervous.

After one night, the Tokyo University exercise ended in a whimper, and the development of the situation was beyond the expectations of many people.

The Avengers are not only enemies of the Ugly Eagle, but also of the rapidly rising Dongda University. Who are these Avengers and what is their purpose?

50 Mobile Outpost Situation On the Ludong Expressway, Wei Jiang was watching the outside world's reaction to the incident in the northwest Gobi Desert ahead on his mobile phone.

The mainstream perception now is that the Avengers did have a conflict with the University of Tokyo, although no one knows the reason.

"The official confidentiality work is done well."

Putting down his phone, Wei Jiang looked at the slowly increasing area of ​​exploration on the Wuling electronic map. He felt that the mission was progressing a little slowly.

He goes home once every three days to take care of household matters, and the rest of the time Wei Jiang is in the car.

"Commander, Minister Tang has disciplined a lot of people during this period to prevent information leakage during the exercise."

"Among them are some senior generals serving in the Beidu Military Headquarters."

"According to the intelligence I have, the identities of several people here are questionable. They have been forcibly detained and have entered the investigation and interrogation process."

As Hong Xing explained, a surveillance video was played on the display.

The surveillance camera showed a dark-skinned middle-aged man in military uniform being taken away in a military vehicle.

The man in the middle tried to resist and shouted loudly, but it was in vain.

"Hmm, that's good."

"This time the higher-ups are very resolute."

From the picture, Wei Jiang could vaguely see the shoulder straps on the middle-aged man's uniform, and his military rank was not low.

"The sooner we catch them, the better. It will be better for everyone if we catch these rats before the final moment arrives."

Recalling Tang Wu’s last words that night, Wei Jiang became more certain of his judgment.

Todai has been preparing for this revival.

"Please hurry up Minister Tang. The equipment I ordered needs to be delivered to Nanshi as soon as possible."

"I need to upgrade the productivity of those companies I acquire, and I can't wait too long."

"Yes!"

The micro-robot manufacturing technology obtained by the second enhancement of the Dark Star Suit gave Wei Jiang many new ideas. This was the best opportunity to expand his own spatial influence.

With the outpost base completed, micro-robots could become Red Star’s best means of expanding its operational capabilities.

The future is bright, and what Wei Jiang needs most now is time.

What he is doing now is racing against time.

The threat was already before him, leaving him no time to think or hesitate.

"Commander, Minister Tang sent a message saying that the communications satellite mission you requested has been completed."

"The first two communications satellites have been manufactured and meet launch standards."

Upon hearing the news, Wei Jiang smiled.

Communications satellite system, this thing has been around for some time.

He has been busy fighting wits and courage with the enemies outside recently, and he has no time to take care of the communication satellite issue.

"I understand. I will arrange the delivery time and place with Minister Tang as soon as possible."

"Yes."

The Wuling car drove into a service area. Wei Jiang got off the car and walked towards the convenience store to buy some supplies.

When he walked out of the store, he opened the cigarette box, lit one, took a deep breath and exhaled the white smoke, then Wei Jiang looked up at the sky.

Base construction is one part, and a communication network exclusively for his personal use also needs to be established.

With the support of the space-based communication network, both Weijiang and Hongxing will be able to move more conveniently.

The communication satellite of the University of Tokyo is useful, but it will eventually leave traces.

Halfway through smoking a cigarette, Wei Jiang put out the butt in the trash can and walked calmly towards the parking lot.

"It's good now, but who can guarantee the future?"

Power and profit are always two huge mountains standing in front of friendship.

His friendly cooperation with the authorities is based on the premise that his goals are consistent with those of the authorities and there is no huge conflict of interest.

Wei Jiang cannot guarantee whether this will continue to be the case in the future.

"Let's go."
-
Ugly Eagle’s home town, inside the round office in the White House.

After several days of intensive investigation and intelligence collated from various channels, intelligence analysis experts gradually outlined the general course of events in the Gobi Desert in the east and northwest.

"Did the Eastern Continental Army really lose more than 700 tanks?"

The blond man sat in his office chair, flipping through sheets of A4 paper.

Most of the photos above are black and white photos taken by SAR (synthetic aperture radar) satellites. Paralyzed tanks are everywhere in the Gobi Desert, and there are craters and flames around them caused by artillery explosions.

In the photo, he also saw black spots of soldiers fleeing in all directions.

He frowned and flipped through the pictures, and after a dozen or so, all he saw were some color photos.

Optical reconnaissance satellite images showed craters and tanks abandoned in the Gobi Desert, with obvious signs of burns, but no bodies of casualties were seen.

The military general nearby saw the blond man flipping through the photos and explained:

"These color photos were taken by reconnaissance satellites after daybreak."

"The Dongs were very quick and moved all the tanks and troops overnight."

"Military experts believe that a hot weapons conflict did occur between the Avengers and the East University, but based on the number of tank wreckage abandoned in the Gobi Desert, it did not cause large-scale casualties."

"There are two possibilities. One is that the authenticity of this conflict is questionable. The other is that the Avengers lack heavy firepower attack means. The East China Sea troops' training this time was mainly tank exercises. They did not carry any extra heavy firepower, leaving no opportunity for the Avengers to intercept and use them."

The blond man looked up at the man standing next to him, no emotion visible in his eyes.

When you look down again, the photo below was taken from the ground. Judging from the shooting angle and direction, the photo should have come from civilians or their intelligence personnel.

In the photo, a large number of vehicles and tanks with burnt surfaces were moved onto trains by lifting equipment. They should be transported to military industrial enterprises for repair.

The frequency of paper turning increases, and there are more details in the manually taken photos.

Soldiers from the University of Tokyo with bandages on their heads got off military trucks and formed a line to pass through rescue vehicles on the city roads.

After the pages were turned over, there were several photos of notices stitched together. The contents of the notices were mostly:

"Surgical medical resources are in short supply. Please coordinate with the department and hospital you visit based on your personal condition."

After casually flipping through the military transfer and intelligence expert's analysis, the blond man threw the report in his hand on the table.

Looking up at his subordinates sitting on the sofa in front of the desk, the blond man asked:

"What do you think?"

The leader asked a question, and someone had to answer it. The fat black minister in charge of defense leaned against the sofa and spoke in a weak voice:

"Although I don't know the reason, I think there is a 50% chance that this conflict is real."

"My logic for making this judgment is that if this conflict is fake, the purpose of both parties is nothing more than to show the outside world that their relationship is not good and to avoid risks for the University of Tokyo."

The fat black man took a deep breath, relaxed his body and continued:
"But the cost is too high. Not to mention how difficult it is to mobilize so many troops and equipment, the cost of repairing and upgrading nearly 800 pieces of equipment at one time is even higher."

"They could have played this scene out in other ways, such as anti-aircraft missile attacks, conflicts with the Avengers' real identities, etc., and the effect might have been better."

After the fat black man finished speaking, the man in a suit who was in charge of intelligence work and sat opposite him straightened his sleeves and said in a gentle voice:

"What the minister said makes sense, but I have a different opinion."

"We all know that several operations have been launched against the Avengers or Wei Jiang himself within the territory of Dongda, including us, and all ended in failure."

Noticing the displeasure in the eyes of his colleagues, the man in the suit did not flinch, and continued calmly:
"Of course, this is also due to our inadequate intelligence work, but there is one thing we must pay attention to."

".We have killed many people there in several operations, but after the East University found out, they only strengthened the entry inspection and did not really search for the murderer."

At this point, the man in the suit stretched out a hand and raised two fingers and said:
"You have to know that more than 20 people were killed in public. Given the importance that Dongda has always attached to safety, how could they have easily let off a criminal who could kill more than 20 elite soldiers with guns in a short period of time?"

Noticing the thoughtful expressions on the faces of the people around him, the man in the suit smiled slightly and said:
"So there is only one possibility, the Tokyo University officials don't want to investigate this person!"

"As for why I don't want to investigate, I'm still thinking about it, and you can think about it too."

The man in the suit said, nodding slightly to the blond man sitting behind the desk and leaning back.

The blond man put his elbows on the table with his fingers crossed. The eyes on his indifferent face were unusually calm, making it impossible for outsiders to tell what was hidden in them.

"you are right."

"Todai didn't want to investigate this person, but they had a conflict with him in the Gobi Desert and lost so much equipment."

The blond man's words caused the office to fall silent.

The strange actions of Todai and the Avengers made them a little confused.

"Intelligence! We need more intelligence!"

"I applied for a special reconnaissance satellite program before, and I agreed."

"You work with NASA to push it forward as quickly as possible!"

The blond man glanced at the documents on the table and stared at the man in the suit with his dead eyes.

"I want you to keep an eye on that guy 24 hours a day!"

"I want to know what to eat, what to wear, and when to go to the bathroom!"

The man in the suit put away his habitual smile, stood up and replied solemnly:
"Yes, sir."

When he lowered his head, the man in the suit's expression changed drastically.

There has never been anyone who could make him so curious!
He had a hunch that the Avenger Wei Jiang must have a big secret!
A big secret that is enough to shock the world!

And he longed for this secret.
