Miss President wants to talk to you

But behind his back, everyone who knew his true colors gave him the nickname 'Napoleon of coercion'.

He seemed to know everything, possessing incriminating evidence against countless politicians and celebrities in the Federation.

Wilkes used these leverages to threaten various people in order to achieve his own goals.

No one knows how Wilkes did it; sometimes he even knew exactly what other people were talking about in a secret room.

"Senator Byrd."

Wilkes began slowly, "I want to ask you something. Have you recently had the opportunity to enter the Oval Office in the White House?"

What do you want to do?

Senator Byrd immediately became alert.

"Let me tell you, there are some favors I can do for you, but there are others you'd better not even think about!"

"Senator Byrd, you've misunderstood."

Wilkes said, "I have no intention of harming the president. I just want you to help me bring a gift into the president's office and hide it."

"Gift?"

Senator Byrd pressed, "What gift?"

"Just a small wood carving."

Wilkes said, "There's nothing wrong with the wood carving itself. It will be handed over to you by a specialist afterward, and you can check it with confidence."

"I only want you to do me this small favor: hide that wood carving in the president's office."

"Once this matter is completed, I will immediately forget all about your son!"

This……

On the other end of the phone, Senator Byrd was caught in a dilemma.

Simply hiding a wooden carving in the president's office doesn't seem like a problem.

If discovered, no one would suspect that they did it.

but

Why did Wilkes put a wooden sculpture in the presidential office?

What does he want to do?

Eavesdropping? But how can a wooden carving eavesdrop?

Bird couldn't understand it at all.

In this day and age, although the concept of a "miniature wireless eavesdropping device" has been proposed, it is simply impossible to manufacture one.

There are three major challenges: the vacuum tube, the battery, and the antenna.

If breakthroughs cannot be achieved in these three areas, their size will be significantly reduced.

Miniature wireless eavesdropping devices would never have been invented.

Senator Byrd did not believe that Wilkes had the technology to create such a groundbreaking invention.

He hesitated for a long time, thinking of his good-for-nothing son.

Finally, he sighed.

"This is the last time."

Bird said, "I'll help you hide it, but you must keep your promise: my son's affairs must never be known to anyone else!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Senator."

Wilkes smiled and said, "In that case, I'll arrange for the wood carving to be delivered soon. It'll be a pleasure doing business with you!"

The phone hangs up.

Wilkes raised his head, his expression neither sad nor happy.

at last

We can now uncover the president's secrets.

The wood carving he had the senator hide was indeed perfectly fine.

However, a small eavesdropping device was hidden inside the wood carving.

Bird's assessment of Wilkes was correct.

He simply doesn't have the ability to overcome any of the technologies involved in vacuum tubes, batteries, or antennas.

But who says miniature wireless eavesdropping devices necessarily need these things?

Wilkes was a lawyer in his early years, and in one of his cases, he learned about a wiretapping technique by chance.

No electronic components are needed; only a thin metal film and a tuned metal needle are required.

From the outside, it looks no different from a safety pin.

Next, simply use external equipment to irradiate it with high-frequency electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency.

The bugging device will then start working, and all the sounds will be reproduced.

This is Wilkes' biggest secret, and the starting point of his rise to power.

In this day and age, no one would have imagined that a small eavesdropping device actually exists that could listen to everything they hear.

Therefore, they don't even have the awareness to take precautions.

And even if they did, they wouldn't be able to find it.

In Eleanor's previous life, this technology was used by Red Luo from a parallel world during the Cold War to eavesdrop on the Federal Embassy.

It was hidden inside a wooden national emblem and given to the embassy as a gift.

Because it contains no electronic components and emits no electromagnetic radiation, it cannot be detected at all.

Even if the federal embassy realizes it is being wiretapped, it has no way of finding the wiretapping device.

That's how the Red Luo people, Mei Mei, wiretapped the Federal Embassy for a full eight years.

This incident can be considered one of the most legendary stories in the history of Cold War wiretapping.

Today, Wilkes possesses this very technology.

Of course, since eavesdropping is expensive, he will only use it on prey he deems truly important.

President Roseve clearly holds that position.

Wilkes's thinking was very clear.

As long as one can obtain the president's secrets and leverage.

In his eyes, Eleanor was nothing more than a speck of dust that could be easily crushed.

……

The next morning.

A car that had traveled from Birmingham stopped in front of a hotel in Washington, D.C.

Senator Byrd's secretary came downstairs and took away a cardboard box.

Inside the cardboard box was a wooden carving about the size of a palm.

The carving depicts a bald eagle with outstretched wings.

The workmanship isn't exactly exquisite, but there's nothing wrong with it either.

The secretary checked it carefully.

The eyes, wings, and base—none of them could be opened.

The weight is normal when you hold it in your hand.

Finally, he even took a small hammer and tapped various parts of the wood carving.

The sound was very solid.

It doesn't sound like there's anything hidden inside at all.

After confirming that it was safe, the wood carving was put back into the cardboard box.

That afternoon.

Senator Byrd then used the pretext of discussing the bill to enter the White House and meet with the president.

There was nothing particularly special about this meeting.

Rosef listened to him talk for more than half an hour.

During this time, Louise came in once and brought a document that needed the president's signature.

Just as Rosef and Louise were discussing...

Senator Byrd pretended to admire the office's decor, then seized the opportunity and swiftly hid the wood carving in the presidential office.

Rosef's office has a low cabinet.

There were already many gifts there.

There were bullet casing crafts donated by veterans, as well as wooden toys made by school children.

Bird casually placed the wooden eagle carving in the corner of the low cabinet.

No one would even notice if an extra eagle appeared.

Chapter 107: What does it mean that Ms. Rosef is dead?

When Senator Byrd walked out of his office, his entire back was soaked with sweat.

Although things went much more smoothly than expected, the psychological pressure he was under did not lessen at all.

What exactly is Wilkes up to?

Bird couldn't understand it at all.
