Chapter 47: Walking the Tightrope
A small transport ship took off directly from the surface, left the atmosphere at full speed, and headed for the military defense identification zone.
Yang Ming is very relaxed now.
Even though he was handcuffed, there were still two laser guns pointed at his head.
"Send me his watch."
The major's voice came from the loudspeaker in the corner.
A soldier immediately stepped forward.
Yang Ming put his hands under the table and said firmly: "This is my privacy!"
"MIA," the soldier said in a gruff voice, "Take off your watch, sir. I don't want you to be disgraced."
"Then come on," Yang Ming's eyes showed a hint of amusement.
The soldier's nostrils trembled slightly, and he suddenly leaned forward and pounced on Yang Ming.
Yang Ming immediately raised his hands high: "Oh! Take it away if you want! Don't touch me! Take your damn big hands away!"
"This is not your territory, you'd better behave yourself."
The soldier sneered and took off Yang Ming's watch very rudely.
Yang Ming smiled with narrowed eyes, showing no anger at all, and said in a gentle voice: "Sergeant, I can promise that you will have to wear it for me later."
The soldier just curled his lips in disdain and turned away.
His expression just now seemed to say that Yang Ming would definitely not survive "tonight" in the Yilando time zone.
The cabin where Yang Ming was imprisoned became quiet, and the two soldiers guarding here seemed to be distracted.
Yang Ming scratched his chin.
He was sure that his watch would not reveal any secrets, and Xiaolu would be able to solve these problems and give the other party some small surprises.
But he couldn't help but have some slightly crazy thoughts in his mind.
This environment - this familiar, narrow, interior environment of a spaceship that is like an isolated island after leaving the surface - is really perfect for him to take action.
He didn't even have to bother rushing into the hull, the other party had already pulled him over.
Yang Ming had rehearsed it several times in his mind.
First, Lu launched an electronic attack to invade the control system of the spacecraft, which could cut off external communications and eliminate surveillance in a very short time.
He only needed to make a little noise to attract the attention of the guards behind him. When the other party came over, he could directly break the shoddy handcuffs. Then, he could press his hands on the other party's neck, which was as soft as a piece of pastry, and pinch it hard!
Bang!
Yang Ming suddenly slammed the metal table in front of him.
The two guards did not raise their guns, but rushed over and raised their hands to press Yang Ming's neck.
"hey-hey!"
Yang Ming raised his hands and shouted, "I'm not looking for trouble! I just want to vent some stress! Let your major come over and talk to me!"
The two soldiers stopped and frowned at Yang Ming who raised his hands obediently. Then they looked at each other and said something into the earphones.
Yang Ming lowered his head and rubbed his eyes.
what happened to him?
Suddenly he became a little manic, as if he would feel uncomfortable unless there was some bloodshed.
Those gene stabilizing drugs also need to be taken regularly, and their ingredients and effects have been verified by Xiaolu.
Is it because the surrounding environment is too bad that causes too much pressure?
As Yang Ming was thinking this, the major appeared outside the cabin door, holding Yang Ming's access terminal in his hand - the watch given to him by Kolev.
The major looked a little solemn.
They first "cracked" this high-end projection watch normally, but did not gain anything substantial. The most they got were some photos of beautiful women, some normal transfer records, and some paid content in the web browsing records.
Then, they used what they believed to be an advanced cracking key to read the hidden information in the watch.
What really made the major's expression serious was this hidden information. There was something a little unexpected in it.
The major sat opposite Yang Ming, turned on the projector on Yang Ming's watch, then looked up and gestured to the two soldiers.
The two soldiers turned around in unison.
"Mr. Yang Ming..."
The major leaned forward, his eyes a little apprehensive, and whispered, "Excuse me for being so presumptuous, but this watch is indeed yours, right? I want to confirm it."
Yang Ming frowned and pouted: "Where did you pick it?"
"On your left wrist," the major couldn't help but use honorifics.
"uh-huh."
"My question was a bit childish, sorry."
The major seemed a little restless.
He returned the watch to Yang Ming, and took out a fingernail-sized key and slid it across Yang Ming's handcuffs. With a click, the handcuffs fell off by themselves.
Yang Ming moved his wrist, but had no intention of putting the watch back on. He just looked at the major with a smile.
God knows what Xiaolu showed them.
But at this moment, Yang Ming must grasp the major in front of him, and then approach the Luofeng military leader behind this major.
Yang Ming felt that if he needed to fight with the Luofeng Empire's military, it would be more advantageous to hostage a general than a major.
"You won't put it on?" the major asked in a low voice.
Yang Ming curled his lips slightly.
The major understood, stood up, lowered his head, and picked up the expensive network access terminal with a mechanical texture in both hands.
Yang Ming simply moved his left hand away and rubbed his wrist.
The major thought for a moment, turned his head and called out a name.
Soon, the soldier who had taken the watch off Yang Ming's wrist appeared running.
"Put it on this gentleman," the major whispered.
The soldier frowned and looked at the major: "Sir?"
"Follow orders," the major said with a stern look.
The soldier pursed his lips tightly: "Sir, I can't accept it..."
"Excuting an order!"
"Yes, sir!"
The soldier saluted, then lowered his head, trying not to look at Yang Ming's expression, put the watch strap on Yang Ming's wrist, and quickly fastened the buckle.
Yang Ming laughed happily.
The major immediately said, "Sir, why don't we go to the bridge and talk."
Yang Ming stood up, raised his hand and patted the soldier on the face, then said with a smile: "You should be thankful, young man. The strategy I adopted today is friendly negotiation."
The soldier's face turned purple.
After Yang Ming left with the major, the soldier growled a few swear words, but kept the volume down to a minimum, and punched the table next to him.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard a slight sound in front of him. The sturdy table top made of alloy plates shattered to the ground like broken glass.
The two armed soldiers looked at each other.
"Have you awakened your super powers?"
"I didn't do this."
"Oh my god, the top brass are taking kickbacks. What a crappy material. I'm worried that this spaceship is just an aluminum alloy coffin!"
"Keep your voice down, are you trying to kill yourself?"
…
When Yang Ming left the transport ship, he still didn't know what Xiao Lu had shown to the major.
Although the major was respectful on the surface, the number of soldiers "guarding" Yang Ming increased from two to six, staring at Yang Ming from all angles.
Only when the transport ship entered the large comprehensive supply ship was there only two soldiers left behind Yang Ming.
The hatch has not been opened yet .
Yang Ming covered the watch dial with his right hand and pressed down lightly. A series of text messages quickly flashed across the screen.
The relevant information was obtained smoothly.
This made Yang Ming feel more calm and built up his confidence in dealing with the complex situation that would follow.
Xiaolu's improvisational strategy was a bit risky, but she handled it pretty well.
The hidden information in Yang Ming's watch was discovered by Xiao Lu when the other party cracked the watch system.
They prepared a total of twelve versions of the "spy certificate", the Empire's Military Intelligence Department, the New Federation's Central Intelligence Agency, and Lina's original unit in the Guel Alliance...
Xiaolu's toolbox is fully stocked with fake certificates from some of the more famous spy agencies.
This watch has been remotely controlled by Lu, and the sensitive data in it will be automatically deleted when it leaves Yang Ming's wrist.
When the major was looking for a technician to crack the hidden file of the watch, Xiao Lu took the initiative and showed his senior agent certificate of the New Federation. (In fact, it was an employee certificate of a certain technology department, which was controlled by the New Federation intelligence agency.)
Yang Ming and Xiao Lu put a lot of thought into small designs like this.
Now, in the major's opinion, Yang Ming is suspected to be a secret agent of the 'New Federation'.
Why choose the new federal agent certificate?
There is a lot to this, too.
Although the text information provided by Lu is brief, it is all refined keywords and contains a huge amount of information.
The maid's death was related to a major military corruption case. A total of thirty-two chips were packed in a cosmetic bag, which were the key evidence in this corruption case.
This case is complicated.
According to the law, the stolen information is roughly as follows:
[The military and a group of domestic and foreign military enterprises took kickbacks and made money from the high-priced weapons and equipment. These chips were purchased by the military and installed on a light frigate. Two years ago, the ship was shot down during the crackdown on pirates. There should not have been any wreckage left, but the wreckage appeared in a scrap yard in a neighboring country.
The military quoted prices for these chips as three times that of the most advanced similar chips, while offering one-tenth the performance the military required.
The frigate was shot down by the military itself. Not only did it consume a batch of equipment, but it could also build new ships and get rid of a batch of "fake soldiers" who were drawing salaries without doing anything. 】
Yang Ming didn't know how to complain for a moment.
The maid came from Luofeng Palace, which means that someone in the royal family is dissatisfied with the military and is taking action.
Even more outrageous things are yet to come.
The reason why Lu chose the identity of "New Federation Senior Agent" for Yang Ming was because the general that Yang Ming was going to meet next - Gudun Maha, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Luofeng Empire's Military Intelligence... had been doing business with the military-industrial enterprises of the New Federation for more than ten years.
The hardworking Gutonmaha acquired a large number of "advanced" federal weapons for the Luofeng Empire, and provided direct assistance several times to the New Federation's agents who were stealing intelligence from the Sherman Empire.
The daughter of Deputy Chief of Staff Gutenberg married a noble from Sherman's empire.
But both of his sons are citizens of the New Federation.
And these are not even a secret. Many high-ranking officers and generals left obvious traces when they chatted.
Not only that, Lu also got a great bargain.
Gutonmaha has an access terminal that he never actively uses. It uses a civilian encrypted network, and occasionally receives some instructions from senior officials of the New Federation.
The terminal gave Xiaolu a lot of clues, which enabled her to uncover the truth about Gutonmaha in a short period of time.
Obtaining information is just about grasping the enemy's weaknesses and knowing how to deal with them.
Yang Ming is still walking on a tightrope.
He is impersonating a senior agent of the New Federation. If he can fool the other party, he will undoubtedly get a lot of conveniences next, but if he takes a wrong step.
There will only be rivers of blood.
At this moment, Yang Ming arrived at the door of Gutonmaha's office.
What is a military boss?
This solid wood door is made of similar material to the wooden doors in Kolev's manor!
When Yang Ming asked Lu to check the list of Rakolev's properties, he was deeply impressed by the price of this kind of original wooden door.
Well... never mind why he made this list, it's not important.
The major at the side knocked on the precious wooden door.
"General, the gentleman has arrived."
"come in."
A deep voice sounded.
As the wooden door opened, Yang Ming saw the thin old man wearing glasses. His sharp gaze was like a dagger, piercing Yang Ming's eyes.
Yang Ming walked over with a smile. The major wanted to follow him but was stopped by General Gutonmaha with a look.
The door was locked.
Yang Ming sat behind a desk and looked around the ancient office, muttering, "How is the general going to solve this problem?"
Gudunmaha narrowed his eyes and smiled , "Can you tell me your CIA number? I have dealt with several CIA officials before. The matter is rather tricky and concerns the reputation of my Luofeng Empire. I must verify it carefully."
