Chapter 1351 A Mysterious Superpower, Its Intelligence Agency Doesn't Even Have a Name
Brussels, the capital of Belgium.
The heavily guarded building was filled with people from different regions.
Besides England, France, Germany, and Italy, these are all established European powers.
There are also representatives from a number of small Nordic countries, such as Denmark, Switzerland, Norway, and Iceland.
Everyone sat in their respective seats; some were drinking water, some were exchanging pleasantries with each other, and others were silently looking at their phones.
In terms of overall atmosphere, it was not much different from a group board meeting; the only difference was that the outer perimeter was heavily guarded with multiple layers of security.
"The time has clearly come, why haven't America's people arrived yet?"
"You're coming back for the first time, aren't you?"
"Yes, I am the representative of Norway, and this is my first time attending such a grand and important conference."
"No wonder, you'll understand after a few more times."
"Know what?"
"America always liked to be the last to arrive, just like those arrogant Anglo-Saxons always did, to show their importance and weight."
"Hehe, I see. I thought they would be very punctual and have a strong sense of rules."
The Norwegian representative muttered a few complaints under his breath, then fell silent.
Five minutes later, the door was pushed open, and a blond, blue-eyed middle-aged man walked in, escorted by bodyguards.
He then gave a slight nod to the crowd with an arrogant expression, clearly acting as if he were the boss.
"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting again."
"Actually, I could have left earlier, but I didn't expect to tie my tie wrong when I got on the bus."
"I rushed back and questioned my wife about why she had chosen a yellow tie for me, saying it made me look like a gay man."
"She apologized and then picked out a blue tie with a somewhat complicated pattern for me; I didn't really like it, but it was at least much more presentable than a yellow tie."
The blond middle-aged man, boasting of his humor, raised two fingers and made a bending motion, delivering a standard American joke.
Although the joke wasn't funny, the closest delegates still laughed out loud in agreement.
This is a very standard way of dealing with people and social situations, and it's not unique to Asia; it's the same everywhere in the world.
Because in this meeting room, the congressman named Trevie held absolute power.
Trevie sat in his chair and went through the motions, briefly discussing some mundane topics such as climate change, environmental change, and environmental protection.
After spending some time chatting about these trivial topics, they finally got straight to the point and asked their questions.
"What are your thoughts on the fact that the great Eastern power is making a high-profile effort to establish a heavy armor synthesis division in the northwest region?"
The group looked at each other, but they had all heard about the incident.
However, I didn't pay too much attention to it because it was quite far away.
Trevie explained, "This time is different from the past. Their public and high-profile announcement feels like a provocation. Although the team hasn't been formed yet, there's no guarantee it won't affect our interests in the future."
"Therefore, we should prepare in advance for such situations, and at least have all the information about this unit."
What do you think?
"I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Beside them, an English representative with thinning hair suddenly spoke up.
The great Eastern power has always existed in a mysterious and low-key manner.
In many situations, they don't even have much of a presence.
But when you're not paying attention to him, he suddenly develops so rapidly.
In some technological fields, it has even surpassed other established countries without warning.
Over the years, they have consistently monitored and collected intelligence on it, but the effective results have always been few and far between.
The representative of Hanscat said, "America has the FBI, Israel has Mossad, and England has MI6. Only the Eastern superpower is extremely mysterious. We don't even know what kind of intelligence organization they have."
"Every time it's mentioned, I can only refer to Yanjing, so I think it's better not to waste time and energy; it's really unnecessary."
"No, it's absolutely necessary."
Speaking on behalf of America, Teres said coldly, "In recent years, they have developed too fast and grown too rapidly, to the point that it has made us feel uneasy."
"The cake is only so big. In the past, if you could eat your fill, he could eat his fill, and we could all eat our fill. But now, this big cake has to be eaten by others first, which has caused some of our friends to go hungry."
“It’s not that we’re unwilling to compromise, nor that we’re unwilling to give them opportunities, but they’re fixated on cutting-edge technology and eager to make continuous breakthroughs, especially in the automotive manufacturing industry.”
He looked at the Hanscat representative: "Your cars have always been mainstream in the Dongda Market, but what about now?"
Hansdale explained, "Although it has decreased sharply, it is still barely acceptable."
Teres then looked at the French representative: "And your Peugeot and Citroën brands used to be quite successful in the Asian market. Do they still have sales in China now?"
The French representative was indignant: "Those guys just don't know how to appreciate it. Our cars are well-made and exquisitely crafted!"
Teres shrugged: "So what? They've already started manufacturing electric cars, and various domestic brands are emerging and rapidly seizing the market."
"We used to eat the cake, but now someone else has eaten the biggest piece, and we can only eat the scraps."
"Oh, and there's our local Chevrolet. It was incredibly popular a few years ago, but now countless factories have closed down."
"Of course, everyone, I'm just using the automotive industry as a simple example. That's how competition is; it's either you die or I live."
"We must obtain detailed information about this team, including its mission role, training direction, strategic location, and even detailed information about its commander."
He said with a serious expression, "When they stop interfering with the honest production of clothes, shoes, and small commodities, it's destined that we won't be able to sit down at the table and have a proper talk."
"So, you should all understand what I mean. A modern battlefield doesn't necessarily have to be filled with gunpowder; it can also be something else."
The people present looked at each other. Although they felt that what they were doing was not fair, they were all in the same boat.
There are some things that must be done, even if you know it means lying against your conscience.
Everything is driven by self-interest, so conflict is inevitable.
Telles continued, "Next, let's discuss the double-headed eagle issue. For the sake of our European granary, everyone should contribute money, strength, and troops!"
