Chapter 326 The Division
"I understand. I can give you three hours. I hope you can give us a satisfactory answer in three hours!"
"No, no, no, three hours isn't enough, I need at least ten hours!"
The president suddenly revealed his businessman's nature and began to bargain with the ambassador.
The two argued for a while and finally agreed to give a reply in five hours.
No sooner had he hung up than the blond-haired president looked gloomy and ordered someone to immediately call CIA Director Burns.
“Burns! What are the CIA agents doing? Congress gives you so many dollars every year, and you can’t even catch a PhD?”
Hearing the President's roar, Burns smiled wryly and said, "President, we underestimated Lin Chen! I suspect that besides his amazing intelligence, he is also a martial arts master! One of my agents was knocked unconscious by him! We are now contacting the California Police Department to intensify our search for this man!"
“I’m fed up with your incompetence! I’m not giving you another chance! From this moment on, you’re fired! Until a new director is appointed, hand over all the work to your deputy!”
After saying that, the president hung up the phone.
He raised his head with a grim expression and said to the Secretary of State beside him, "My judgment was right. We absolutely cannot let Lin Chen return to China! Contact the FBI and have them send people to California to work with the CIA. We must find Lin Chen within a day!"
"Mr. President, what about the Dragon Kingdom..."
The Secretary of State hesitated. Judging from the President's attitude, he was going to completely ignore the Dragon Kingdom's protest?
But the Dragon Kingdom of today is no longer the country that they could manipulate at will.
Moreover, if China were to publicly disclose their affairs, the United States' international reputation would indeed suffer serious damage.
This is especially detrimental to the US strategy of attracting talent from around the world, particularly in the scientific community!
The president glanced coldly at his Secretary of State, inwardly cursing him as an idiot as well.
If it weren't for the fact that this kid knew how to flatter and fawn, why would he have given up the position of Secretary of State to him?
What a waste!
"Didn't the Chinese threaten to make it public internationally? Then let's preemptively make a big fuss about it!"
"Reveal the Squid Country's affairs and label Lin Chen as supporting terrorists!"
"If we firmly deny everything, why should we care about what others think?"
"Anyone who supports Lin Chen is supporting terrorism!"
what?
The Secretary of State paused for a moment.
"But Mr. President, if we do this, what about the Squid Country..."
"Ignore them! If we're going to capture Lin Chen, aren't we helping them? Tell them that once we master that drone system, we'll give them a share too!"
"I understand."
The Secretary of State immediately changed his tune, flattering, "Mr. President, you really know how to handle things!"
The blond-haired president shook his head: "I have to worry about everything. Without me, how can America be great again?"
"Yeah!"
The Secretary of State and those around him immediately nodded in agreement.
the other side.
Lin Chen drove the Cadillac he got from Professor House to a gas station on the California border.
Just as he had predicted, the Americans may have deployed troops along the main route to the border.
However, the roads to the east were almost unguarded.
Along the way, Lin Chen only occasionally saw one or two police cars pass by.
There is no other danger.
However, Lin Chen knew that he had not escaped the trap yet, so he tried to choose the side paths as much as possible along the way.
Apart from filling up once at a small, family-run gas station, I haven't had any contact with anyone since.
They didn't even buy anything to eat.
The body, modified by the system, can withstand hunger; it's okay to go a day or two without food for a short period.
Not to mention, Lin Chen also found a case of bottled water, which should have been left by House, in the trunk of the car.
It should be enough to support myself to escape danger.
However, at this moment, Lin Chen suddenly heard the radio program in the car abruptly stop.
"Now for an breaking news report. The White House has just released a statement accusing a Chinese drone company of supporting terrorism."
"According to White House propaganda, three days ago, the Squid Nation's troops in Gasa were attacked by anti-Squid terrorists who used unmanned weapons to attack a Squid Nation base, causing at least a thousand casualties!"
"The White House strongly condemned the attack and stated that it would fully cooperate with the Squid Nation in its revenge. The Chinese company Longchen Zhihang, which was accused by the White House, was the supplier of the unmanned weapons used by the terrorists in this attack."
"The White House has announced a global arrest warrant for all managers of the company and has authorized the CIA and FBI to conduct global arrests of relevant personnel!"
"Excuse me, we have just received another message. The CIA has located the major shareholder of Longchen Zhihang and is offering a reward of one million for the public to help arrest him."
"The suspect, Lin Chen, male, Chinese national, 20 years old, is suspected of possessing a weapon and having combat skills. He is currently at large in California! Anyone with information, please contact the CIA or FBI!"
Oops!
Lin Chen gripped the steering wheel tightly.
With things having developed to this point, my journey ahead will likely become increasingly difficult!
After all, I am Chinese, and I will stand out wherever I go in the United States.
Not to mention that he is now wanted by the police.
Lin Chen originally thought that he had already managed to notify the country, and that under pressure from the Chinese government, the Americans would only try to arrest him secretly.
Unexpectedly, the Americans went to great lengths and issued a nationwide arrest warrant.
They even labeled themselves as supporters of terrorism.
……
On the other hand, the Chinese ambassador to the United States only realized they had been tricked by the Americans after seeing the official arrest warrant on television.
Those Americans are so shameless.
In order to capture Lin Chen, they actually went so far as to slap such a huge label on him.
The matter was of great importance, so the ambassador to the United States immediately made a phone call back to China to explain the situation.
"I'm sorry, Elder, this was our oversight. We overestimated the moral standards of Americans..."
A dignified voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's not your fault. The Americans learned their lesson from Qian Xuesen's case before, so they certainly won't make the same mistake again this time."
"Elder, what should we do now?"
"Since the Americans want to wage a diplomatic war, then we will fight them to the end! They will not repeat the mistakes of the past, and we will not suffer the humiliation of the past again!"
Today's Dragon Kingdom is not the Dragon Kingdom of the past!
"I understand, Elder!"
……
At this time, in the Dragon Kingdom.
In contrast to the chaotic world, the internet in China is a scene of peace and prosperity.
The trending topics online are dominated by various entertainment news and celebrity gossip.
However, amidst this peaceful atmosphere, a news item suddenly appeared and quickly climbed to the top of the trending search list.
At an impromptu press conference, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China strongly criticized and condemned the United States for attempting to arrest Lin Chen, a genius mathematician from China, on trumped-up charges!
The Chinese government also stated that it reserves the right to use all means to rescue Lin Chen!
The news caused an immediate sensation across the internet!
