Chapter 2470: It can't just be a coincidence

Duan Liye's explanation made Ye Chen even more confused about Lin Wan'er's identity.

He even felt a little regretful.

Regret that he shouldn't have just let Lin Wan'er and her grandfather go.

Although in his view, he had already used psychological hints, and the grandfather and granddaughter must have had no concealment from him, after all, time was tight at that time, and he didn't have enough time and opportunity to ask more questions.

But it was too late to regret now, so he could only hope to ask more valuable content from this Duan Liye.

Therefore, Ye Chen looked at Duan Liye and continued to interrogate him, "Do you know why your English Lord wants to catch her? Is it for her as a person, or for something on her?"

Duan Liye shook his head, "I don't know about this. Even my superior in Turkey doesn't know. We only know that being able to assign that mission to our Right Army Governor's Office was a god-given opportunity. If the mission was successful, the English Lord would definitely reward us heavily, but it is a pity that it eventually failed."

Ye Chen knew that Duan Liye couldn't lie, so he asked him, "Do you know where the headquarters of the entire Poqing Society is?"

"I don't know," Duan Liye shook his head, "I haven't been to the headquarters at all, only to the Huben Camp, but I don't know where the Huben Camp is."

After saying that, Duan Liye added, "I don't even know the specific location of the Right Army Governor's Office in Italy. The organization's isolation of information is very strict. What level of person can only know what level of secrets they can know. We can't know even a little bit higher secrets."

Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a little big-headed. It seems that the internal organizational structure of this Poqing Society is too clear, and the internal confidentiality system is too strict.

Duan Liye can be considered a middle-to-high level of the entire Poqing Society. He doesn't know where the headquarters is, nor does he know where the branch he belongs to is. If this continues, I don't know when I will be able to trace the source.

After a moment of silence, Ye Chen continued to ask him, "What is your planning and deployment in Turkey?"

Duan Liye replied, "Turkey is a supply chain specifically built for the Cyprus base. The purpose is to ensure the normal operation of the Cyprus base. By importing the copper ore produced by the Cyprus base, it ensures the concealment of the Cyprus base. At the same time, through reasonable and legal import channels, it provides the funds needed for the operation of Cyprus. Apart from this, we will also use the shipping of copper ore to secretly provide the daily necessities needed by the Cyprus base. There are two thousand tons of materials on this ship, which are to be secretly sent to the Cyprus base."

Ye Chen asked him, "What exactly is in these two thousand tons of materials you mentioned?"

Duan Liye replied, "There are about three hundred tons of various food and medicine, as well as a large amount of weapons and ammunition, clothing and daily necessities, and various daily necessities needed by the dead soldiers, consumables for air and water purification equipment. Apart from this, there are nearly five hundred tons of diesel."

Ye Chen asked him, "Does diesel still need to be transported from Turkey so far away?"

Duan Liye explained, "The outside world thinks that the copper mine only has a few hundred people working and living, but in fact, the number of people living inside is as high as three or four thousand. Not only are material expenses huge, but energy consumption is also very large. Just the domestic electricity for three or four thousand people under the mine is very huge. If all electricity is purchased from the local power grid in Cyprus, the energy consumption will be significantly higher than that of a copper mine of the same scale. Once someone with a heart checks the data in this regard, they can notice it. Therefore, the organization requires that any base must not expose any clues."

As he spoke, Duan Liye added, "Because we need to fill the energy consumption of these three or four thousand people, we transported four large diesel generator sets from Turkey to them. Their domestic electricity is all met by diesel power generation. But if a copper mine has too much diesel consumption, it will also make people suspicious, so all the diesel they need is provided by us. After the ship docks, there is a special pipeline connected to the copper mine, and the diesel is transported directly through the pipeline."

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but have some admiration for the meticulousness of this organization.

Generally speaking, the larger the organization, the harder it is to take care of the details.

However, the Poqing Society has such a huge scale, and it can handle various details very well, which is indeed remarkable.

Things like energy consumption, once targeted by someone with a heart, can easily see the clues.

Often, the police find that the power consumption of a certain household is several times higher than that of other neighbors in the same apartment type by analyzing the electricity consumption data of residential buildings. After checking, they find that it is because they are using high-power fluorescent lamps to cultivate prohibited plants at home.

And that kind of three-bedroom apartment uses the water and natural gas consumption of more than a dozen or twenty people in a month. Once this abnormality is discovered, the investigation usually leads to the den of a pyramid scheme organization, with twenty or thirty pyramid scheme personnel squeezed into a three-bedroom apartment.

Therefore, if this copper mine does not want to expose any clues, all its energy consumption, publicly purchased materials, and even discharged garbage must meet the scale of three hundred people so as not to be discovered by others.

Otherwise, once any indicator is abnormal, it may be detected by potential enemies.

This also made Ye Chen realize that many of his previous operations were actually very lacking in similar details. Whether it was the Rejuvenation Pill auction or the Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical that has been very famous globally during this period, they were actually a bit high-profile. Once targeted by the Poqing Society, finding himself would just be a matter of time.

At this time, Duan Liye added, "By the way, among the materials I brought this time, there is also the antidote prepared for them."

Ye Chen asked him, "Is the antidote produced and made in Turkey?"

"No," Duan Liye shook his head, "The antidote is sent to Turkey by people sent by the organization, but I don't know where it is sent from."

Ye Chen frowned and asked, "Is there a fixed delivery time for the antidote to Turkey?"

"No," Duan Liye explained, "The time the organization gives the antidote each time is random. Sometimes it is delivered the day before it is almost consumed, but sometimes it is delivered suddenly one or two months in advance. It is completely unpredictable and has no rules. They just notify us suddenly that the antidote has been delivered to a certain place and let us go to pick it up ourselves. It is estimated that it is to prevent us from finding the rules."

After a pause, Duan Liye added, "Moreover, the quantity sent each time is different. Sometimes they send one month's worth, sometimes three months' worth. And when these antidotes are sent, they are equipped with a special safe. After they reach our hands, every time we send medicine to the base, we have to apply to the organization for authorization before we can open the safe. Only after the organization authorizes it can we open the safe. Moreover, the safe has its own identification function, which can accurately record how much antidote we take out, and we can only take a fixed amount of antidote each time, not even one more. Otherwise, once the organization realizes that things are out of control, it will also immediately start self-destruction."

Ye Chen asked in surprise, "Is the safe connected to the internet?"

"Yes," Duan Liye nodded, "Not only is it connected to the internet, but it also has a self-destruction device. Once we open a new safe, the previous safe will self-destruct. Once it encounters violent cracking, it will also trigger self-destruction. Therefore, only with the organization's authorization can we take the antidote from it. Moreover, the safe has its own identification function, which can accurately record how much antidote we take out, and we can only take a fixed amount of antidote each time, not even one more. Otherwise, once the organization realizes that things are out of control, it will also immediately start self-destruction."

As he spoke, Duan Liye added, "It's not just our safe, the safe in the hands of the Governor of the Cyprus base is the same. Although there is an emergency antidote reserve in his safe, he also needs to apply for authorization from the organization to open it. Once a change occurs there, the organization will immediately stop the supply of the antidote and destroy the antidote stored in the safe. In this way, at most one week, everyone in this base will die."

Ye Chen asked with some doubt, "Moving such an important thing to the internet, what if it is hacked? Wouldn't it be all over?"

"No," Duan Liye shook his head, "The organization does not use the internet, but its own satellite communication network. Moreover, it is not ordinary civil communication, but military communication satellites bought from senior Soviet officials through special channels when the Soviet Union collapsed."

"Military communication satellites?" Ye Chen asked in shock, "Can this also be bought?"

Duan Liye explained, "Under normal circumstances, it cannot be bought. Even the richest individuals and enterprises cannot buy military satellites. But at that time, it was a relatively special time stage. The entire Soviet national defense system was in chaos, and the distribution between these countries after the disintegration was also muddled and full of bad debts. At that time, a large part of Ukraine's heavy weapons were sold off, and even Tu-160 bombers and even nuclear bombs were almost sold by people, let alone a bunch of satellites in the sky. In that situation at that time, if a few satellites were missing, no one would find out. As long as a little trick was done, others would not know that there were a few more satellites in the sky that were theirs."

As he spoke, Duan Liye added, "This batch of satellites itself has extremely high security, and the communication codes have been reset, so even the people who designed it cannot crack the current communication content. The possibility of being cracked almost does not exist. However, it also has certain drawbacks. The biggest drawback is that the satellites are a bit old, and they are still the old generation of narrowband mobile communication satellites. The transmission rate is relatively slow, so they can only perform text and byte command transmission. Like monitoring the status of safes in various places, the safes only need to send a few byte commands to the satellite regularly under normal circumstances. If an abnormality occurs, the command is also only a few bytes, and activating the self-destruction device is the same. This kind of very small data transmission is completely without any problems. Apart from this, it can meet the needs of very few users to use this system for voice calls at critical moments, but it cannot meet the video signal transmission."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "In other words, even if the Cyprus base might have installed monitoring equipment, the organization cannot view it in real time, right?"

"Yes," Duan Liye said, "The monitoring equipment in Cyprus is stored locally. Every time I come over, I will bring a copy of the monitoring video from the past week back, but this data will not be connected to the internet. It is only kept in Turkey. Every once in a while, all data will be handed over to the Right Army Governor's Office. As for whether the Right Army Governor's Office will hand over this data to the English Lord, I don't know."

Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Looking at you being so old, I didn't expect you to know so much about this."

Duan Liye said respectfully, "These were all systematically trained when I was in the Huben Camp."

Ye Chen asked with great interest, "Then I ask you, as far as you know, has your self-destruction device ever been activated?"

"Activated," Duan Liye said without hesitation, "About twenty years ago, a base was once activated with a self-destruction device because of a major failure. And that time, the organization was very ruthless. It waited until the day before the normal medicine delivery, and then temporarily notified the special envoy that he didn't need to deliver the medicine. At the same time, it informed the Governor that the special envoy had had a slight accident and asked him to wait for another half a day. If the special envoy hadn't arrived by the next morning, the organization would authorize him to open the safe and activate the reserve antidote."

"And then?" Ye Chen frowned and asked, "The organization kept using lies to drag them until they were about to die of poison, and then activated self-destruction?"

"Yes!" Duan Liye nodded heavily, his expression horrified, "The organization didn't send anyone to deliver the medicine, and destroyed the spare antidote at the last moment. All five thousand people in that base, including the Governor, Cavalry Guards, dead soldiers, and their families, all died of poison, and none survived."

Ye Chen asked him, "How do you know so clearly?"

Duan Liye explained, "This is the internal declassified information of the organization. The reason why it was declassified at that time was to warn all bases of the consequences of major failures."

Ye Chen suddenly thought of something and blurted out, "You just said that the major failure was twenty years ago?!"

"Yes!" Duan Liye nodded, "It was twenty years ago, I remember very clearly."

Ye Chen's expression was suddenly horrified. His parents were killed in Jin Ling exactly twenty years ago!

The time is so consistent, it can't just be a coincidence, right?

Could there be any connection between the death of his parents and this incident Duan Liye mentioned?! ===== CHAPTER 2471 =====
