Eh? Do you also want to try the iron fist of the humanoid girl?

Sebastian Novikovsky, then CEO of the military-industrial complex, said so in a memo.

This bold statement demonstrates the group's persistent pursuit of military technology development. The relevant supporting facilities were put into operation in Poznan, and the service center is still in operation today, providing logistics maintenance for the M1 Abrams main battle tank.

It is simply unimaginable that there is still an opportunity for acquisition when a defense and military enterprise like this encounters problems.

"It seems more like a third-rate tabloid making up an eye-catching article," said Raphael.

"I thought so at first," Secretary Fisher confirmed, "but it's true. The radiation concentration of the ELID wide-area collapse is rising. The Polish Military Industrial Group has no choice but to sell assets to survive."

Even the Polish authorities are almost unable to hold on. The ELID wide-area collapse radiation seems to be low in value, but it is very persistent and it is cumulative damage.

With the economy on the verge of collapse, it would be suicidal to continue maintaining past defense spending.

"That kind of large equipment and production line..."

Raphael didn't know how to put it, whether it was private acquisition or acquired through other means.

Based on the various plans drawn up by Asuka that I had seen before, the armored vehicle production and maintenance company under the Polish Military Industrial Group was almost free of charge, with no difference.

"Well...don't worry. This is the fact. They were severely affected by the radiation from the collapse."

Fisher glanced at the information in his hand. "I personally reviewed the other party's sales behavior. It is definitely not something that is just for publicity."

Then he told Raphael that a new legal identity had been prepared for them.

As long as she invests, the M1 tank maintenance center under the Polish Military Industrial Group can be used as capital and integrated into the military logistics system of the Federal Republic of Germany.

In this way, they have official endorsement, and many things that were previously inconvenient to access can be easily solved.

The Federation only needs to pay for certain policies and identity information support to get a complete armored force maintenance center, which is really a huge profit.

Fisher's plan would bring prominence to his Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is why today's call took place.

"I will think about it."

Raphael quickly figured out the twists and turns involved.

"Please give me an answer as soon as possible," Fisher replied.

"I'll tell you before 18: tomorrow at the latest."

Raphael hung up the phone and continued to browse the information of the Polish military-industrial group.

Apart from the recent reports of the president being killed in a terrorist attack, many public reports have shown that its subordinate tank integrated logistics maintenance center is indeed very good.

The M1 tank production line was functioning normally, but it looked terrible because of its inefficiency.

This is actually normal, the assembly stage of a tank is just the last step.

Inefficient operation not only prevents assembly line workers from quitting due to lack of work, but also ensures that various upstream parts continue to be produced.

There would be problems if it ran at full speed!

Some Polish personnel believe that the sale of these things is "very problematic because they involve the future of the Polish army" and that "selling these equipment, personnel and technologies is digging one's own grave."

However, more people disagree with this view. Everyone is going to be doomed, but they are still daydreaming about expansion.

Please be pragmatic and find someone who is willing to take over.

If they had sold it directly to the Germans, they would have definitely refused immediately; now that an American had come and seemed to be willing to buy it back, they felt that this deal was basically not a loss.

Raphael felt that she did not lose anything. After all, the euro was just a string of numbers in her account.

This number is still rising at an alarming rate every day.

Chapter 100 Important Components and Key Partners

When the funds were in place, Fisher came to congratulate them in person. The assets under their names had now become an important part of the Federal Republic of Germany's national defense system. They also presented a new identity document that only existed in the system without anyone noticing the problem.

There wasn't much information in the identity documents. After all, they were still art students, so they only needed to prepare so much. As long as they had the identity of music and art students, the chances of them being stopped by German police officers on the street would be further reduced.

After all, the things stored in the box have nothing to do with musical instruments.

Birth certificates, educational experience in music and art, even grades and teachers' comments at each age stage of education are all prepared very thoroughly.

If they need it, they can enable it now.

But judging from the appearance, just as the information Fisher had seen, the general's descendants would only become generals.

These four real identities will at most serve as a disguise for them to carry out foreign affairs activities.

It only takes a tiny amount of resources to make more money.

Fischer left Leipzig in a hurry before daybreak. He had to return to Berlin with Raphael's power of attorney and try to get everything in place before the operation stopped there.

If we delay the restart until Frankfurt am Main, there is a possibility that we will be discovered by then.

Berlin, with its chaos and turmoil, is actually a good time to do this.

"He's gone." Fei Niao walked out from the shadowy corner of the room and looked at the night sky with Raphael. "In this person's opinion, he made a lot of money?"

"He did make money, but we didn't lose anything either. It's a win-win situation."

“Transformed into an important defense partner of the Federal Republic of Germany?”

Asuka scoffed.

"In his opinion, as General Harry's 'descendants', we will definitely not give up our current distinguished status. We can only hand over the Armored Maintenance Center and the M1 Main Battle Tank production line to his people for agency."

"Have the identification and documents been checked?" Raphael asked.

“They didn’t play tricks on this.”

"That's it."

After some consideration, Raphael decided to let Fei Niao activate this identity, but not all of it.

She and Raphael checked and verified the items, integrated the maintenance center and the production line, and established a new military-industrial enterprise, which would be named after the identity information used by Fei Niao.

This girl who existed only on paper appeared in the world for the first time. She went from being an unknown music and art student to an operations manager of a large company.

Of course, she will not actually participate in the operation. The really outrageous point is that after the maintenance center is moved to Germany, the Polish Army's M1 tanks need to be transported to Germany for maintenance.

Although the Polish authorities opposed the deal, it was already a fait accompli and their opposition was useless. Their aggressive progress in the field of national defense over the past 20 years was instantly reversed by the impact of a disaster abroad.

What was taken away was far more than just a production line and a maintenance center. All of the high-quality assets that were already few in number were taken away by outsiders in the crisis caused by this disaster. What made them feel even more deadly was the severe blow suffered by the financial market.

International hot money has caused many companies to go bankrupt by shorting the market, and good assets have been sold at low prices. The direct economic losses currently estimated to be more than 3000 billion euros.

The stock market crash is obvious. The panic that had already accumulated due to the aurora borealis incident and the ELID wide-area collapse radiation was completely triggered by the stock market crash. No matter what the authorities do, it is considered a signal that the disaster is further expanding.

This is just the dilemma facing the financial market, and there are many more things involved.

The Polish authorities have been cleaning up the mess since the disaster of 35. Now they are confused by this chaotic situation and have no idea what to do.

"In the financial market, there is no question of whether there is morality or not, it is just an operation."

Hot money from Europe, North America, and even East Asia all participated in the event. What was taken away by the old enemy, the Germans, was only a very insignificant part of these losses.

Raphael narrowed his eyes and browsed through the various messages generated by Fei Niao's activities in public using his new identity, temporarily confirming the reliability of the identity information.

But this is not enough, as Fisher himself said:

“The best way to avoid being noticed is to do nothing.”

There is also a simple remedy: make the person who knew about this disappear.

But this is too extreme, and it is not within the scope of consideration at present, and it is meaningless. Fisher is at best a mouthpiece, a channel for communication between the two sides. Killing him is not worth the loss. What is important is to find out who is standing behind him.

More efforts are needed and more resources are needed.

But thinking of this, Raphael felt very helpless. The intelligence authority provided by the United States was better than nothing. Apart from extracting some information from Harry, the only thing he could rely on was the navy's system or the daily briefings from the embassy.

The rest of the channels are all blocked.

Most of the information that Feiniao collects from the Internet every day is FAKE NEWS. The more organized the content is, the less credible it is. There is also a lot of fabricated content created for text AI keywords.

She was dizzy with all this garbage, and it was simply useless. Raphael, on the other hand, was relatively smooth in this regard, directly hacking into the CIA's external network system and using their system resources to conduct surveillance, capture sensitive words, and other operations.

Occasionally, Fei Niao could see some valuable information, but the most confusing thing was that all the information she saw were encrypted files within the US military.

Such ridiculous things happened one after another, and these documents, which were confidential to many people, were within her reach.

If you say the confidentiality system is perfect, there are always various loopholes; if you say it is imperfect, some secrets of the US military are protected as solid as a rock.

The most typical example is the existence of the Bionic Tactical Humanoid Team. Their information should have been kept strictly confidential, and they used disguised identities to operate outside.

Whether it was the time in Tokyo seven years ago, the experience in the blockade zone in New York even earlier, or the recent clash with US special forces in the suburbs of Frankfurt am Main, all indicate that there are significant problems.

The counterintelligence general's words, "You are safe," actually had little effect.

It is easy to avoid an open attack but difficult to guard against an attack from the dark. It is very uncomfortable to live in fear like this.

Fei Niao opened the access tool made by Raphael and connected to the CIA's surveillance network in the German Federal Republic with ease, looking for the person behind Fischer's second-class foreign affairs secretary.

High-quality assets of the level of the Polish Military Industrial Group are definitely not something that an ordinary foreign affairs official can come up with.

Chapter 101 Discussion

"What about Harry B. Carnegie?"

"Very astute. His administrative skills are simply unparalleled. For example, his intuition about project schedules is the best I have ever seen or heard of since."

Wolfgang Müller answered without hesitation:

“As long as he sees a project team’s work log, he knows whether their project is progressing smoothly. He can look 10 years into the future to determine which technologies will be used and which will not.

His only weakness is that he only knows specific technologies related to the Air Force, and his understanding of other branches of the military is relatively weak. Therefore, sometimes you can often hear him arguing with technical experts from the Army and Navy. I mean, this person's vision is really amazing.

It is said that a robot project he presided over stimulated the former Russian Federation, forcing the Russians at that time to invest in the development of general industrial robots under pressure.

But this has yet to be confirmed.”

"Will it stimulate the Russians' robotics program?"

The Deputy Director of Military Intelligence answered the question himself:

"It can't be the project that the University of Leipzig is promoting... But the timing doesn't match. The earliest news was in 2029, before the explosion of the Nobuoyama ruins, that the Russian Federation was promoting this project."

"It should have nothing to do with the Leipzig project, which is a plan to comprehensively explore brain structure and function through technologies such as CT (computed tomography), MRI (structural magnetic resonance imaging), DTI (magnetic resonance diffusion imaging), OCT (optical coherence tomography), fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), etc., and use supercomputers to complete the functional model reconstruction and try to run it. So far, the progress of the project is very unsatisfactory."

Wolfgang carefully recalled the information he had seen, and continued to explain to his superiors with curious eyes:

"The institute submitted a report in March this year, hoping that the partners would recall Raphael, a computer graphics expert. They found in the project that after the model group lost a leader, the speed of improving the reconstruction accuracy stagnated significantly."

"Wait, Raphael?"

"Yes, that's right, sir. He's the one who reached a cooperation with us in the past two days."

"US Navy, Foreign Affairs Captain Military Attaché, our important partner of the Federal Republic of Germany?!"

The deputy director's voice suddenly rose an octave. He couldn't find any other way to express the surprise in his heart.

"To be precise, she is her biological sister."

"It doesn't make any difference, does it?"

"In short, there is something strange here," Wolfgang had to say. They can no longer reach into the arms of Americans and quietly take information from their pockets as they did during the Cold War.

There were steadfast volunteers who offered help back then, but now they have long since abandoned that ideal, so the decline in their strength is completely understandable.

Even so, the Stasi was much more powerful than the Federal Intelligence Service (BND), which almost became the CIA's backyard, where they could come and go as they pleased and had no dignity at all.

All four children joined the army and served in the same branch of the military, becoming foreign affairs military attachés.

At present, the most outstanding one is the eldest sister Raphael. She can be described as a "computer graphics expert" by the Max Planck Society's Brain Research Institute. She is indeed a genius.

The deputy director pondered as he made the excerpt. Despite the cooperation between them, Raphael's sister became an important partner in their defense... Why?

If relying on Harry B. Carnegie's influence, at least one person in the US military system would be able to cross the threshold and become a general in fifteen years.

This is a secret that must be kept - they accepted the identity documents and information provided by the Stasi, which to some extent could be considered "treason."

He looked up and sized up the young man who was reporting in front of him.

Wolfgang Müller was born in Berlin. His family has a long tradition of service in the military and intelligence systems.

Wolfgang showed extraordinary leadership skills during his training and had a strong sense of responsibility for national security. After completing his training at the military academy, he did not hesitate to join the counterintelligence work when he was recruited.

Wolfgang spent his early career in the military intelligence field, carrying out many successful counter-terrorism and counter-espionage missions. Due to his outstanding work ability, he gradually reached his current position.

"Will it become a hidden danger?" the director suddenly asked for no reason.
