Spy Family

The battle ended shortly in the afternoon. Lu Linbei didn't need to ask around for the results. He knew the situation was not good just by looking at the expressions of people on the street.

In the Strategy Department, Professor Qiao was furious. When he saw Lu Linbei and Ma wandering in, he only gave him a quick glance and continued to yell: "The Strategy Department submitted its first report two months ago. After that, we submitted a total of How many servings?”

An assistant timidly replied: "Five copies."

"That's right, each of the five reports clearly stated: The Council is hoarding armaments. Whether they want war or peace, they will launch a very large-scale attack in the near future. The General Assembly should have done this earlier. Prepare, give full play to the characteristics of dispersion, attack at multiple points, so that the council does not dare to gather troops. Is this what the report says? Is this what it says? "

None of the assistants dared to say anything and could only nod slightly.

Professor Qiao didn't expect to hear the answer, so he continued: "What's the result? No one looked at it at all, or they threw it away after looking at it, and didn't care about it at all. It's been two days, and the council's army is approaching step by step, and no one has ever seen it. The drone is about to fly over Yuandian City! Where are our drones? Why haven't we been producing at full capacity in the past two months? What about multi-point attacks? This has always been an effective tactic, why did it fail at the most critical moment? Have you given up? Did the President give the order? What are the troops of the Universal Power Association in other places doing? Are they just watching Yuandian City fight alone?"

Professor Qiao asked a lot of questions, but no one could answer them or dared to answer them.

There was a living flame burning in Professor Qiao's eye sockets. After a long silence, it quickly extinguished. He turned and returned to the inner office.

Lu Linbei and Ma Youyou followed in.

Xiaoxing couldn't understand what the adults were saying, but she could feel the anger and was a little frightened. She grabbed the handle of the basket tightly with both hands and leaned as close to her father's chest as possible without laughing or crying.

Professor Qiao came over, ignored the two adults, stretched out his hand and caressed a few centimeters above Xiaoxing's head, and said in a much softer voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about other people. When you grow up, Be a decisive person, not an incompetent person. It is better to be right than wrong, and it is better to be wrong than to do nothing.”

Xiaoxing made an evasive movement, but Professor Qiao had no choice but to make a grimace suddenly. Lu Linbei was startled, but Xiaoxing finally laughed and reached out to scratch the wrinkled face.

Professor Qiao took a deep breath, finally turned his eyes to Ma Xianyou, and asked Lu Linbei, "Is this the spy you found?"

"Ma Zhangxuan serves as a secretary and data clerk in the External Liaison Office. He is familiar with the Universal Rights Association and will be very convenient when communicating with various departments."

"Whatever." Professor Qiao didn't care who Lu Linbei recruited, "Lao Gao agrees that you contact the command center directly, but it must be registered with me - I think it's not easy to get rid of you."

"No problem, filing requires a procedure..."

Ma Changyuan continued: "Any contact between me and the command center will be conducted through the server of the Strategy Department. Whether it is audio, video, or image text, a copy will be filed, and Professor Qiao can check it at any time."

"Well, I'll give you permission."

"Who is the specific person to contact me at the command center?" Ma Zhiyang asked.

"Do you recognize the assistant child next to Lao Gao?"

"I recognize it."

"Contact him." Professor Qiao suddenly lost interest. He lowered his gaze to indicate that the two of them could leave, and then quickly raised his gaze again, "Lu Linbei, tell me your personal opinion. Are you fighting or making peace? "

"I advocate maximizing interests, whether it is war or peace."

"Hey, cunning pragmatist. Go negotiate with the council and tell them that the location must be in Origin City and let the chairman come in person."

"good."

After arriving next door and introducing Zhu Canchen to each other, Ma Youxuan immediately started to tidy up the room, expanded the space, and arranged a set of tables and chairs for herself. As a robot, her movements were as fast as performing acrobatics. The Xiaoxing in the basket could not help but Clapping your hands is as exciting as watching a robot repair a house.

Zhu Canchen had just completed the data collection and had already encountered difficulties before entering the analysis stage. "The public information is too complicated, and most of it has no analytical value. I need the internal information of the Universal Suffrage Council, and I believe they must have it."

Lu Linbei said to Ma Xian: "I will apply to Professor Qiao later. The Strategy Department should have a lot of information."

"Yes." Ma Xianyou was packing things and teasing Xiaoxing, still looking calm.

Xiaoxing was hungry, Lu Linbei could tell from his expression, and when he was about to get the bottle, Ma Youyou had already beaten him to it, "Let me do it, I know what to do."

Lu Linbei nodded. Although he agreed, his eyes never left Ma Changyang and his daughter. In the end, he had to admit that the robot did a better job than him. The program was accurate and extremely efficient.

By the time Xiaoxing finished drinking a bottle of milk, Ma Youyou had already finished cleaning up, sat down on a chair, put the baby basket on the table in front of her, and said to Lu Linbei: "Let me take care of her, it's like a tutor interacting with a student. The first step.”

"Okay, but please don't..."

"I will not take her into the digital world without Mr. Lu's permission. Having said that, what should I call you in the future?"

"Well...call me Major Lu."

"Yes, Major Lu." Ma Youyou's body is equipped with a powerful chip, so there is no need for a microcomputer. While sitting there looking after Xiaoxing, he connected to the server of the Strategy Department and said quickly: "The application has been approved, Mr. Zhu You can view the internal information."

"Call me Lao Zhu." Zhu Canchen was deeply impressed by the robot's work efficiency. By operating it on his microcomputer, he was indeed able to enter the archives of the Strategy Department. Although the server was right behind him, he had not been allowed to do whatever he wanted before. Check.

The three of them got into work, and Lu Linbei was also checking the internal information in order to learn more about the war between the Universal Power Association and the Council.

Ma Zhangyou was still the most efficient person. On the surface, he had been taking care of the baby, but the chip in his body was actually working intensively. Ten minutes later, he said again: "I have contacted Secretary Tong. What he means is the same." Just like Professor Qiao, the negotiation location must be in Yuandian City, and the chairman needs to come in person to show his sincerity."

"Okay." Lu Linbei felt that the council would definitely not accept the latter, but his current task was to send messages and communicate, so there was no need to talk, so he waited until three o'clock and contacted Lu Yezhou through a dedicated microcomputer.

"Waiting for you, Lao Bei." Lu Yezhou had obviously returned indoors and sounded in a good mood.

Lu Linbei stated the two requirements of the Universal Rights Council, and Lu Yezhou replied: "The negotiation location can be set in Yuandian City, but the chairman cannot go there in person. We will send a minister here, and we can discuss which one."

As negotiators, the two of them didn't have much to talk about. They ended the call quickly. Lu Linbei wrote a brief report and sent it to Secretary Tong in the command center, and also filed it in the Strategy Department.

A reply came quickly from the command center. The content was as simple as four words: "Adhere to the principle."

Lu Linbei contacted Lu Yezhou again, "In the previous negotiations, a president of the Universal Rights Council personally participated. Unfortunately, he died on the way. So what we mean is: if the council really wants peace talks, then it must be led by the directors The president must come forward in person, otherwise, we can only think that this negotiation is another trap."

"I have checked the information and found that the death of your president was purely an accident. Of course, I understand your suspicions. If it were me, I would be more careful. Well, I will report it to the higher ups and let them do what they want. Decide, I will contact you immediately if there is a result, if not, let’s wait until 9 o’clock tomorrow morning to communicate again.”

"good."

"Say hello to Sister Manman and Xiaoxing for me."

The two ended the call, and Lu Yezhou made no further contact. At around 5 p.m., the council launched its second attack on the same day.

The Strategy Department was able to check the real-time data of the command center, so Lu Linbei and others could have a more comprehensive understanding of the ongoing battle, so they remained silent as if they were watching a thrilling TV series. The key plot twist happened today. .

The fighting was ongoing on the ground and in the air at the same time, as far as 500 kilometers away, but compared with two days ago, the SPC's front had retreated by nearly 300 kilometers.

In the air, the UAV's drones could no longer form a tight protective net. From time to time, missiles would slip through the net, fly directly over Yuandian City, penetrate the ground and explode, causing a shock.

Ground battles are even more brutal. In order to cope with the ever-changing battlefield conditions, Puquan will dispatch many manned combat vehicles. Each combat vehicle controls a varying number of unmanned combat machines. They take advantage of the familiar terrain to set up ambushes and sniper attacks everywhere.

The General Assembly paid a heavy price, with reports of casualties coming from the front lines every few minutes, but it did block the council's ground forces, forcing the enemy to stay step by step and not dare to advance rashly.

The problem is that the air battle is unfavorable and the battle lines are gradually retreating. The soldiers on the ground lose their air protection and can only evacuate to the rear.

"We lost to the satellite." Ma Youyuan suddenly spoke, as if he knew the doubts of the other two people.

"The Council has always had satellites, why has it become an advantage now?" Zhu Canchen asked.

"The Universal Suffrage Council has manufactured a large number of cheap drones to deceive satellites, making it difficult for them to distinguish between true and false, and provide false information. This method is very effective, but it seems to be no longer possible. Satellites can distinguish true from false, and the Council's nonsense Humans and machines lead to real threats.”

"I see, this will be a big trouble."

Ma Yizhang smiled and said: "War is a process of ebb and flow. I believe that the Universal Power Council also has a response plan, but it's just not the time to use it yet."

The battle situation has been showing no improvement, and it seems that the so-called "opportunity" that Ma Youyou calls "opportunity" will not appear for a while. Lu Linbei and Zhu Canchen simply withdraw their attention and continue to check the past information.

At nearly seven o'clock, the council withdrew its troops. Only then did Lu Linbei notice that it was already past the off-duty time. He stood up and said, "Sorry, you two have to work overtime. You can leave when the time comes. You don't have to wait for me to speak."

Zhu Canchen was engrossed in what he was watching. He hummed twice without raising his head to express his understanding. Ma Xianzhang said, "I don't need to rest. See you tomorrow, Major Lu."

Lu Linbei took his daughter home. Chen Manchi had already prepared dinner and said with a smile: "You are busier than me when you work."

Lu Linbei needs his wife's company, which allows him to temporarily escape from boring work and find reasons to continue working hard.

At around 11 o'clock at night, the third battle of the day occurred. The couple were awakened. Chen Manchi murmured: "Does the council not want us to sleep?"

The battle lasted for three hours. Early the next morning, Lu Linbei and Chen Manchi were both a little sluggish, while Xiaoxing was still fast asleep.

When Lu Linbei came to the Strategy Department, Ma Zhangyang was still sitting in his seat, unaffected, and said with a smile: "Major Lu didn't rest well?"

"Yeah." Lu Linbei forced a smile. Once he got into work, his energy recovered quickly and he didn't even notice Zhu Canchen's arrival.

At nine o'clock, Lu Linbei contacted Lu Yezhou on time.

"Hey, Lao Bei, the council has responded."

"What did you say?"

"Yesterday's second and third attacks were all part of the reply." Lu Yezhou paused for a moment, "Old Bei, the Universal Power Council has to lower its demands."
