Chapter 1576: Chapter 1555: Great Minds Think Alike
No matter who it is, no matter how generous they are, no one would be willing to be a scapegoat. Whether one dares or not is one thing, whether one is willing is another.
Heaven and earth as witnesses, Gao Yang really didn’t plan to use Angel as a scapegoat.
Looking at Nate’s darkening face, Gao Yang spread his hands and said, “Don’t look at like that. I don’t want this either. Look at , completely unard, with my face covered so tightly, afraid of being seen. Then look at yourself, buddy, your face is so handso that people can’t help but rember it.”
Nate smiled slightly and said, “I’m not like you. I’m never afraid of being recognized. As long as you don’t deliberately put the bla on Angel, I’m not worried about becoming a scapegoat.”
There are satellites in the sky, but because of angle issues, satellites can’t photograph human faces. A bit lower, there might be drones, but even at night, drones can’t clearly photograph human faces. On the ground, there are CIA people, and without accident, they would definitely use caras or similar devices to film everything. However, due to the late-night ti, even with night vision, it’s impossible to clearly photograph faces from a distance.
The main reason Gao Yang believed Nate’s identity was exposed was actually because of the helicopters they arrived in.
Gao Yang pointed to the helicopters behind Nate and said loudly, “Those are Ukrainian military helicopters. How did you get them? If I’m not mistaken, you stole them, right?”
Nate nodded and said in a deep voice, “That’s right, we took forty minutes to break into a military airport and stole these helicopters.”
Gao Yang clapped his hands and said loudly, “With your image like that, from the ti you stole the helicopters till now, it’s impossible to keep it a secret.”
Nate said with disdain, “Why hide? There’s no need.”
Gao Yang seriously said, “Let ask you a very serious question, Colonel. Can you go to Germany now? Can you go to Arica? Can you go to the UK, France, those countries?”
Nate said without hesitation, “I can’t. If I go to Germany, I would be imdiately arrested and charged with war cris. You know, today’s Germany is more concerned than any other country about the rise of a war-loving German, due to the original sin of Germany in World War II. Today’s Germany has utterly declined. The official governnt in Germany is more willing to raise a bunch of pigs, not an army.”
Gao Yang laughed and said, “You’ve got a lot of resentnt.”
Nate nodded and said, “Yes, if I want to be a true soldier, I must leave Germany.”
Gao Yang curiously asked, “Then where else can you go?”
Nate thought for a while, then said seriously, “Where there’s war, that’s where I’ll go.”
Gao Yang laughed loudly and said, “So it ans you can’t go to normal and peaceful countries.”
Nate sighed slightly and said, “Yes.”
Gao Yang waved his hand and said sternly, “I don’t want to be like you. I make money to enjoy life, and I don’t want to spend my days only in chaotic regions. Hence, I must hide my identity. I must find a scapegoat to shift the bla onto. You’re right, this ti the commotion was too big, and I can’t bear the consequences, so I must find a scapegoat.”
After finishing, Gao Yang sighed, took a sip of coffee, and said in a low voice, “Actually, you all are really ideal scapegoats. You’ve shown your face. People would think of you without even announcing it. If I push it a bit, you won’t be able to shake off this bla even if you want to.”
Nate said disdainfully, “Do you think I’d be kind enough to take the bla for you and then be hunted by Arica and the rest of the world? Do you think I wouldn’t actively claim that Satan did all of this?”
Gao Yang waved his hand and smiled, “You’re not that kind of person. You’re too proud. You wouldn’t do such a thing. In fact, you disdain doing it. Even if you were caught by Aricans, you couldn’t betray . You’d only commit suicide imdiately to ensure you won’t be captured by anyone.”
Nate fell silent because Gao Yang was right.
Gao Yang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m quite loyal, how could I betray you? You say you have no friends, yet you rushed to save my life unhesitantly. I’m too grateful, how could I bla it on you? Even if you wanted to take the bla, I’d pull you out of it.”
Nate’s expression softened a lot, because no one wants to be blad for soone else, after all.
Gao Yang pointed at Nate and said in a low voice, “Buddy, what I said earlier wasn’t entirely a joke. Now you have to help think. Who do you think should be the scapegoat? Or rather, who can be our scapegoat?”
Nate pondered for a mont and said in a low voice, “Arica’s main target is Grand Ivan, no doubt. What you need to do is to throw the bla of the actual execution onto soone else. The biggest problem now is that Grand Ivan hasn’t appeared. Aricans can’t find him, and if they can’t find Grand Ivan, they’ll naturally look elsewhere, like by finding the actual executor to locate Grand Ivan. You’re quite at risk at this point. Additionally, Arica’s core ard force was annihilated, which is a big deal. The military and CIA aren’t in harmony, so CIA won’t care, but military personnel will never give up the pursuit.”
Gao Yang said with distress, “Yes, that’s the problem. I understand this principle, hence I’m thinking about finding a scapegoat.”
Nate pointed to the east in disdain and said, “Is there even a need to think? The ready scapegoat is right there, Russia.”
Gao Yang snapped his fingers and laughed, “Great minds think alike, precisely, Russia has to take this bla. Only another country can confront a nation, even if I ca forward claiming Satan took down Butter Knife, Aricans would have to believe it.”
Nate smiled and said, “If a rcenary group wiped out Butter Knife, the Arican military would see it as an insult, particularly army generals, who would fight you to death. Out of pride, they’d fully deny it.”
Gao Yang nodded and said, “Exactly, so throwing the bla on Russia is sothing everyone can accept, and it’s very convenient, extrely convenient. Among those surrounding and fighting us, more than ninety percent are Russians. They are Signal Flag, Alpha, GRU. In short, letting Russians take the bla is too convenient. But the question now is, how to make it look real, then, how to finalize it convincingly so everyone believes it’s Russia’s doing, ideally specifying to a particular Russian unit, everything looking genuine with an established chain of evidence, making even Russians believe it themselves?”
Nate couldn’t help but touch his nose, thought for a long while, and nodded, “There are ways, and targets.” (To be continued.
