Hiss!
With Ning An’s explanation, Aluf instantly realized that he had gotten himself into deep trouble this ti.
According to his own plan.
First, use the Daoist Association’s influence to pressure people, then pretend to burn incense and pray.
Finally, regardless of whether the wish was granted, he would insist it wasn’t.
Everything was planned perfectly.
But who could have expected.
This Daoist would counterattack directly, leaving him speechless.
"The heavens are dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise! In the year of Jiazi, the world is blessed! I, Zhang Jiao, humbly invite Han to face death!"
"This little punk, did he forget what kind of maniacs Taoists are? Throughout history, officials’ families have always first pacified the Taoists. When it cos to violent instinct, these Daoist Masters charge headlong."
"Actually, Aluf’s plan was good. He even brought out the direct unit of the Daoist Association, which usually ans no mistakes, but which normal Daoist Temple cares about that nonsense?"
Just as Aluf was about to explode with anger.
In a secluded building on the outskirts of Kyoto.
A few white-haired elders were engaged in a heated debate by the table, faces full of anger.
Because just yesterday.
Yingjiang, along with other Western Countries, directly imposed sanctions on so of Dragon Country’s technologies.
Among them was T30 Level carbon fiber. Any western company that sold this material to Dragon Country would be treated as treason.
Under intense pressure, many foreign manufacturers would rather pay high compensation and tear up contracts.
But this was also normal, after all, Yingjiang is a superpower, no sane capitalist would oppose such a superpower.
"If you can’t play, you flip the table; what a shaless move."
"Purely disgusting, isn’t it?"
Everyone present looked grim as if they could drip water from their expressions.
This incident even alard higher-level leaders, directly instructing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to sternly condemn such unethical behavior, aiming to pressure Western countries into lifting the blockade.
After all, the T30 material carbon fiber was too important; without this material, all of Dragon Country’s related aerospace ventures would need to halt.
"We are at a critical period in our aerospace developnt; we absolutely cannot give up!"
"You’re talking big, but that damned Yingjiang wants us to exchange tons of rare earth for T30 carbon fiber; such a wolf-like ambition must be promptly suppressed!"
"To be strangled is so damn frustrating! Secretary Wang, what did Elder An say?"
The few elders present were not in uniform.
But the pressure they exuded with every move lowered the temperature of the entire eting room by several degrees.
Plus, the ard soldiers inside and outside testified the importance of this place.
The middle-aged man called Secretary Wang sat in the expert seat, his work clothes in disorder.
He stood up, his face pale as if he hadn’t slept for ten days and nights.
Supporting himself on the table, tears pattering down his face.
"Why are you crying! Like a woman!"
"Can we get it done or not? The country is still waiting to use it!"
An irascible elder on a cane was so angry that he was blowing air through his nose and glaring.
Back in his day, when fighting monkeys, he lost a leg in an explosion and didn’t cry like this.
Bang!
The elder at the head of the table frowned and pounded the table heavily.
"You’re no longer young, so why is your temper so fiery."
"With so much energy, why not go up and do the research? Whoever succeeds, I’ll give up my seat to him!"
The noisy eting room gradually quieted down.
At this mont, the elder at the head of the table looked at the standing Secretary Wang and spoke calmly:
"Secretary Wang, let us in on so inside information. The country has invested so much, surely we have a right to know."
"Besides, with Elder An overseeing, even if there are difficulties, you shouldn’t be so out of control."
Uniformly, everyone looked at Secretary Wang.
"At first, the progress was rapid, but..."
Secretary Wang wiped away his tears and let out a bitter smile:
"Elder An... doesn’t have much ti left."
"Without a leader, relying only on us, I’m afraid it will take another two or three years."
"Two or three years? In two or three years, our country’s blood will be drained dry, what developnt then!"
The sa hot-tempered elder cursed, thumping his cane.
"Ma Baoguo, sit down!"
The elder at the head of the table’s face darkened, and Ma Baoguo laughed awkwardly and obediently sat down.
Everyone present could understand his feelings.
Because all present shared his thoughts.
"It’s not that I, Ma Baoguo, am too eager, but the wolf-like ambition of that Yingjiang is too great."
"You all know how they’ve ddled these years; now they want to strangle our aerospace with carbon fiber, grandpa can tolerate, but grandma cannot tolerate."
"Damn this!"
Ma Baoguo’s complaints were not loud but ensured everyone could hear.
After all, past experiences serve as lessons for the future. All kinds of nasty tricks over the years often had Yingjiang pulling strings behind the scenes.
Everyone’s expression turned serious again.
At this mont, soone softly asked:
"How is Elder An according to the doctor?"
Secretary Wang gripped the table tightly with both hands, his voice hoarse:
"Incurable, dicine is ineffective, the teacher is afraid...doesn’t have long to live..."
The entire venue fell silent.
After all, in this field of materials, Elder An was a world-renowned figure.
Without such a person leading the work, T30 carbon fiber was truly out of reach.
After a while, the elder at the main seat spoke solemnly:
"Although we have already created a carbon fiber that can replace so functions of T30, it’s far from enough in terms of weight and strength."
"In the field of technology, lagging not only ans being beaten but also possibly forever losing the right to speak."
"Secretary Wang, the task on your shoulders is heavy."
The elder spoke earnestly to Secretary Wang.
"Leader, this..."
Before Secretary Wang could finish, an urgent knock interrupted.
"Report!"
"Co in."
A rugged military man strode in, saluted respectfully, and promptly reported:
"Reporting to all leaders, just now when the nurse was doing rounds, Elder An was found missing..."
He hadn’t finished when many stood up nacingly.
"Bastards, it’s bad enough to block technology, now they’re targeting our scientists, damn it!"
"Those bastards want to play dirty!"
"What are you standing around for! Get checking! Go find him! Ensure Elder An’s safety!"
Ma Baoguo couldn’t wait, grabbed the cane, and prepared to call:
"Go, mobilize my security regint, I’ll imdiately approve their gun permits!"
The many elders exuded a murderous air; they had all crawled out from piles of the dead, fearing nothing!
They didn’t fear being removed from their positions, but the humiliation of having their throats held, which was worse than being killed!
Such a scene had the young soldier completely dumbfounded.
To know, the leaders present were all ruthless elites.
Such explosive energy, how could a small soldier bear it?
"Don’t panic, let ask, has Elder An been found yet?"
Though Secretary Wang was anxious, he was shrewd enough to ask the key question.
After all, he couldn’t believe a spy could slip into a national base.
The young soldier was almost in tears:
"Lea... leaders, Academician An isn’t lost... he just went to burn incense..."
