Chapter 522

"How much does the Long Nation actually know about this thing? Has our core technology been stolen?"

President President Baideng asked while narrowing his eyes.

This question, whether for him or for the Freedom Nation.

Was of vital importance.

Faced with President President Baideng's inquiry, Shi Shi Misi, standing to the side, pondered for a moment before hurriedly answering.

"Mr. President!"

"The Earth Vein Barrier device we transported to the Desert Camel Nation war zone has already been salvaged from the port of Manchesidungang..."

"No missing original parts were found! It was just severely damaged. According to military expert analysis, the probability of the core technology being stolen is basically zero!"

"The preliminary inference is that the Long Nation combat squad found the device too large to transport, so they decided to destroy it!"

"..."

President President Baideng pondered for a long time upon hearing this, then nodded silently.

This inference was indeed plausible.

This Earth Vein Barrier device was something he had obtained from an extraterrestrial civilization, after all; its technological advancement absolutely exceeded the imagination of the people on this planet.

If the core original parts had been taken away by that special operations squad, President President Baideng might have panicked a little.

After all, the Long Nation's reverse engineering capability was indeed terrifying...

But the opponent had only destroyed the equipment and hadn't taken anything away.

This allowed President President Baideng's hanging heart to finally settle back into his stomach.

"Mr. President President Baideng!"

"In that case, do we need to start a saturation fire strike against the Long Nation now?"

"No need!"

President President Baideng waved his hand, a flash of shrewd light crossing his eyes.

"The unknown is what is truly terrifying..."

"If the Long Nation doesn't know about the existence of the Earth Vein Barrier, it might be better for us to launch an attack first!"

"But since the Long Nation knows, our plan can be slightly adjusted!"

"After all, the fear brought by a sword that could pierce one's heart at any moment is the most terrifying..."

President President Baideng's voice rang out, word by word.

Shi Shi Misi, standing to the side, felt a layer of cold sweat slowly seeping out from his back for some reason.

"Understood!"

"I will go arrange it right away!"

Shi Shi Misi hurriedly agreed and was about to withdraw immediately.

President President Baideng, standing to the side, seemed to suddenly remember something, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Shi Shi Misi! Wait a moment!"

Shi Shi Misi turned around, somewhat bewildered, and looked at President President Baideng.

"Mr. President, is there anything else?"

"How is that Song Qi from the Long Nation doing now?"

President President Baideng's voice rang out; the name Song Qi was a nightmare in his heart.

Even though he was busy with ten thousand tasks, he couldn't help but confirm Song Qi's current status.

"Song Qi?"

Shi Shi Misi rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment.

"We haven't heard any news about him for a long time..."

"So many days have passed! Given the severity of Song Qi's injuries at that time, he must be dead beyond dead by now!"

"Plutonium poisoning is absolutely an incurable terminal illness on the current planet!"

"I estimate that the Long Nation is deliberately not announcing Song Qi's death to stabilize public opinion in the Long Nation..."

President President Baideng thought about it carefully upon hearing this.

Given Song Qi's status and position in the Long Nation, keeping his death a secret was indeed reasonable.

Thinking of this, President President Baideng didn't dwell on it further.

Instead, he waved his hand, signaling that Shi Shi Misi could withdraw.

As for himself, he poured another cup of coffee for himself.

While drinking the coffee, he watched the lawnmower pass by outside the window.

A rare smile also appeared on the corner of President President Baideng's mouth.

Clearly, his mood at this moment was extremely, extremely good...

Time flew by, and another half-month passed quietly.

In half a month's time, the flames of war in the Middle East had turned from initial sporadic clashes into a regional high-intensity war, and later, the entire Middle East was covered by vast flames of war.

No one expected that this war would come so fiercely and so terrifyingly!

In just half a month, the Third World War had completely broken out on the planet!

And, it had actually unfolded just as people in the past had predicted; the Third World War had indeed been provoked near the powder keg of the Middle East!

As the war intensified!

The entire world was divided into two camps!

These two camps were naturally the Western world led by the Freedom Nation and the Eastern Alliance formed under the leadership of the Long Nation!

Of course, there were also many small countries that were unwilling to join these two camps.

For those with weaker strength, the Freedom Nation and the Long Nation had no time to manage them.

But for those with slightly stronger strength that still wouldn't take a side, then they might as well not stand anywhere!

Just wipe them off the map and be done with it...

The Freedom Nation's Western Alliance was a strict military organization based on the Five Eyes Society, named North Peak!

And the Long Nation's alliance was mostly composed of countries within the Confucian cultural sphere.

Plus the two countries of the India Nation and the North Bear Nation.

The alliance had just been established, and most of its strength was extremely weak!

It couldn't exert any effect at all...

The only ones that could be considered powerful and could help were the North Bear Nation, the India Nation, and the Sakura Nation.

However, the India Nation and the Sakura Nation had already been crippled by the Long Nation...

Therefore, facing the Western Alliance that controlled the entire Freedom Continent, plus a group of powerful countries in the European Union.

The Long Nation naturally didn't gain any advantage on the battlefield!

The North Bear Nation looked militarily powerful, but its economy was truly too poor...

The Long Nation's military-industrial chain was already inferior to the Freedom Nation's international grand circulation, and now it had to support its ally, the North Bear Nation.

Therefore, it was increasingly feeling powerless on the battlefield!

It was beaten by the North Peak Allied Forces, having only the power to parry, with no strength to counterattack.

As news from the front line reached the interior of the Long Nation.

A thick haze of war slowly shrouded the hearts of all the people of the Long Nation.

Looking at the battle reports one by one, and experiencing the current tense situation in the Long Nation, the hearts of the Long Nation's netizens felt as if they were being pressed by a great mountain, unable to breathe.

Everyone knew that this was only the scene half a month into the war.

Currently, the Freedom Nation and the Long Nation were still maintaining relative restraint and had not used any weapons of mass destruction.

But later on, if they really fought until their eyes turned red.

And started throwing biological and chemical weapons, mushroom bombs, and the like onto the battlefield.

Who knew how many Long Nation soldiers would sacrifice their lives because of it?

That was unknown...

The atmosphere on the Long Nation's internet was even more depressingly terrifying at this moment.

The front-line situation was tight.

On the internet, there were also countless Freedom Nation people who had climbed over the firewall into the Long Nation's internal network, mocking and ridiculing the Long Nation people.
