Chapter 112

Although having one's identity information investigated was inevitable, the fact that Huang Lao came personally to notify him meant that at least propriety had been observed.

This also increased Jiang Hao's good impression of Huang Lao.

One must admit, it is no wonder that the gathering place of the smartest people in Great Xia contains no simple characters, even among the most casual individuals.

"Very well, shall we sit for a while then?"

"Regarding the requests you raised, we can only give you an answer after reviewing your identity information."

"No problem." Jiang Hao nodded.

Huang Lao nodded, then nodded to the man and woman in their forties behind him; the two, having received approval, left the reception room.

After the two left.

Huang Lao and the others also sat down.

Du Kaao, Sun Wukong, and the others said nothing.

Instead, Huang Lao began chatting with Jiang Hao.

They discussed only ordinary matters, such as Jiang Hao's age.

Which university he graduated from, what he did before, whether he had a girlfriend, and so on.

All were ordinary topics.

Jiang Hao had nothing to hide; he answered everything he could.

Of course, even if he did not answer, he believed the state could still find out.

After all, he had not made any special effort to hide much of his information.

About ten minutes later.

The man and woman who had left earlier returned.

The two carried nothing.

Upon entering, they simply whispered a sentence into Huang Lao's ear.

Jiang Hao's hearing was remarkably sharp.

Although they spoke very softly, Jiang Hao still heard clearly.

Just four words.

"No problem."

"Good, thank you for your hard work."

"No trouble at all." The two shook their heads.

They then stood behind Huang Lao and said nothing more.

Huang Lao looked at Jiang Hao once again.

"We have confirmed your identity is without issue; what is certain is that you are definitely one of our own." Huang Lao smiled.

Labeling him one of their own already defined Jiang Hao, which meant the state now believed Jiang Hao's words.

"Now let us speak of your precognitive ability. You say you can foresee the future; then what will the future of Earth look like?"

"After the war with the alien civilization, what will the outcome be, and what will the casualties be? Can you tell us?"

Huang Lao looked at Jiang Hao and asked with a smile.

"Certainly."

"Unless something unexpected occurs, the Taotie civilization that will attack Earth's civilization will arrive in the solar system in thirteen years, that is, next year."

"However, after arriving in the solar system, they did not attack Earth immediately."

"And during this period, our Great Xia's Super Soldier squad was also completed, named Xiongbing Xiongbing Lian; this name was actually given by you. This Xiongbing Xiongbing Lian is the Black Great Wall Plan; unless something unexpected occurs, the state should have already proposed this plan."

Huang Lao nodded.

"The Black Great Wall Plan was indeed proposed days ago already, because of the Demon matter on the side of the Third Nation; that is also an alien civilization, isn't it?"

Jiang Hao nodded.

"Correct."

"The Demon civilization, although not like the Taotie civilization, which prepared to create death on Earth."

"But later, with the arrival of the Angel civilization, the Demon civilization, in order to counter the Angel civilization, chose to ally with the Taotie; after the Tianhe City battle occurred, they launched the Juxia City battle."

"In this battle, the Demons used the computing power of a powerful supercomputer to completely paralyze Earth's communication system."

"All communication devices became unusable."

"The Juxia City battle also scattered the entire Xiongbing Xiongbing Lian."

"The Juxia warship was destroyed; besides that, General Du Kaao fell in battle."

When Jiang Hao spoke this news.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Then, they all looked at Du Kaao.

Even Du Du Qiangwei looked at Du Kaao.

Regardless of how dissatisfied she was in her heart, blaming Du Kaao and frequently opposing him.

None of that could change the fact that she was Du Kaao's biological daughter.

Du Du Qiangwei's attitude toward Du Kaao was not as indifferent as it appeared on the surface.

On the contrary, Du Kaao himself was extremely calm.

"And after that?" Du Kaao spoke again.

"After that, Queen Kesha of the Angel civilization fell, and Earth and the Angels temporarily reached a cooperative agreement."

"With the technological support of the Angels, the Super Soldiers of the Xiongbing Xiongbing Lian achieved tremendous growth."

"Several years later, the Taotie was defeated, and the Demons also left Earth."

"After that, I don't know."

"Listening to you, it sounds more like you experienced it yourself than some kind of premonition," said Huang Lao.

Jiang Hao smiled and explained.

"My premonition is seen from my own perspective."

"Tianhe City is my hometown, Daxia is my country, Earth is our shared home."

"The peace we have now came at great cost; if anyone tries to shatter it, I will not allow it."

"You mentioned the Xiongbing Xiongbing Lian's super soldiers—I heard from Lao Du that activating their supergenes requires immense energy. Right now, the state can't provide it. Do you have a solution?"

"Yes." Jiang Hao nodded firmly.

"If I hand the Xiongbing Xiongbing Lian over to you and fulfill all your demands, do you have the confidence to keep the Taotie from entering Earth?"

"Since ancient times, Laozu has taught us: to repel enemies beyond our national borders, so we minimize our own losses and casualties."

"So, if war with an alien civilization truly becomes inevitable, do you… have the ability to hold them beyond Earth? Even if we fight, let it be outside Earth."

"Of course." Jiang Hao affirmed again.

"Good. Since you're so confident, the state is willing to trust you."

"Comrade Jiang Hao, I hope you don't mind me addressing you this way."

"Of course. I once considered joining the military, but for certain reasons I didn't—quite a regret," Jiang Hao smiled.

Hearing this, Huang Lao chuckled too.

"Lao Du will fully cooperate with you. Whatever you need, just ask him directly—he'll fulfill anything within his power."

"Even the Sa De Nuo civilization's technology brought by Lao Du will be fully open to you."

"The state trusts me this much? Aren't you afraid I might have ambitions?" Jiang Hao asked, surprised.

Though he was confident he could persuade the state, Jiang Hao never expected the process to be this smooth.

"Who in this world doesn't have ambitions? Even if you truly have some, you're still one of us. No matter what the future holds, at least Earth still belongs to humanity, doesn't it?"

"Besides, I trust my own judgment—I won't be wrong."

To be honest, Jiang Hao was deeply moved.

He hadn't expected the state to trust him so completely.

To bet a civilization's future on him—honestly, the state's boldness was 1.8 times greater than he'd anticipated.

What Jiang Hao didn't know was that the state trusted him so completely because they had reviewed his past.

They had examined his family background.

They had read his personal records from childhood to adulthood.
