Chapter 1275: Shocking the Whole World

Pentagon.

An image stream from a high-altitude drone was playing on the big screen.

In the cloud of smoke, the group of soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons cleared out all the militants on the deck without a trace of hesitation.

When the British special forces arrived by helicopter from the nearest military base, not only had they already completed the battle, but they had even cleaned up the blood on the deck.

The video ended.

The whole conference room was silent.

The senior military adviser of the United States Department of Defense broke the silence in the conference room and tapped the laser pointer twice on the big screen.

“Thirty-seven minutes.”

“Sh*t... They cleaned the deck faster than me washing my car.”

“Accurately speaking, it should be thirty...” the Pentagon Chief of Defense sitting at the conference table said. His face was gloomy as he continued, “From when they heard the news that the cargo ship was hijacked by militants, it took only 30 minutes to send the orbital paratroopers over.”

“The one-hour global deployment was probably a conservative estimate.”

“Their strategic military power is stronger than we thought!”

The conference room went silent again.

And this time, the silence was a bit scary.

“Damn it.” The president took off his glasses on the bridge of his nose. He pinched his nose and asked, “How did they do it so fast...?”

No one could answer this question.

They had no intel on the orbital Airborne Brigade team.

What kind of delivery method could deliver a team of steel soldiers, armed to the nines, from Jinling, which was tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Baltic Sea?

Only the Chinese themselves knew the secret.

NASA Director Carson, who had not spoken yet, suddenly said, “It is possible that they did not completely leave the atmosphere.”

Pairs of eyes in the conference room glanced at him.

Director Carson gulped and continued speaking bitterly, “Going into low satellite orbit directly through Russian airspace, then release the airborne capsule on the eastern side of the Baltic Sea... Theoretically, 30 minutes is possible.

“But even then, the timing is tight.

“From departure to landing, not one minute was delayed.”

Director Carson’s speech put heavy expressions on their faces.

Faced with such a powerful force, did they have any chance of winning?

There was a lot of controversy in the conference room regarding the combat effectiveness of this orbital airborne force.

But now, not only did all the doubts disappear, but the faces were replaced with looks of worry.

It wasn’t until this moment did they really understand what kind of opponent they were facing.

“I want to know who targeted the cruise ship.” The president’s index finger tapped on the conference table as he said with a gloomy face, “It better not to have anything to do with us.”

The Secretary of Defense looked at him.

“Is it not the CIA?”

The president shook his head.

“I have never authorized such a stupid action! I’m sure our CIA director would not be so stupid as to do such an asinine thing behind my back.”

If this were five years ago, it might be profitable to do such a plan.

But now, killing a respected physicist wasn’t enough.

His research institute and invisible scientific research heritage would live on. None of those things could be erased by bombs or a few assassins.

On the contrary, killing the physicist would put them in big trouble.

“Find out who hired the pirates.

“We might have to betray the Chinese.”

...

The Pentagon was not the only one in chaos.

The steel team that fell from the sky shocked the intelligence agencies around the world.

No one thought that this crisis would be resolved in this way.

No one thought that the armed steel team would look like something out of science fiction. Their performance in actual combat was also merciless.

The three airborne cabins were on the deck of the “Oseberg”. Although intelligence personnel from various countries were drooling at the technology, no one dared to make rash decisions.

There was only one reason.

The cargo ship was being controlled by the orbital Airborne Brigade, and it was slowly crossing toward East Asia.

After seeing the power of the orbital airborne troops, no one dared to challenge them, and no one dared to stop them.

Even the British Royal Secret Service, who had already boarded the deck, failed to make negotiation progress. They quietly left on their helicopters.

The global intelligence agencies were focused on this cargo ship. In an office far away in Beijing, a folder full of photos and various documents was placed on a rustic desk.

“The organization that assaulted Academician Lu has been found.”

An old section chief wearing a Ministry of State Security uniform said to the slightly younger man sitting behind a desk, “According to our intelligence personnel, after collecting and aggregating the information, the group of pirates was hired by an organization called... The Spirit of The Universe Foundation.”

“The Spirit of The Universe Foundation?” An unexpected look appeared on the face of the man sitting behind the desk. “What is that?”

It sounded like a movie or an online game. It didn’t seem like something that would appear in the real world.

“It seems to be a new religion... or an organization that makes money through this new religion... It’s more popular in developed countries and regions, but we have not seen any traces of their activities in our country. It comes from the paper of the former ILHCRC employee, Professor Galette Miro. He was a pioneer and a believer in the theory of cosmic animism.

“Maybe they have bigger plans in addition to making money, so they are very careful. They have not shown clear political demands, and so far, they have not attracted the attention of other countries.”

The old section chief’s eyebrows furrowed as he continued, “I just don’t know why they would suddenly attack Academician Lu.”

Could it be that they blamed the death of Professor Garrett Miro on Academician Lu?

This statement is far-fetched.

The man sitting behind the desk thought about something different. After simply flipping through the information in the documents, he asked, “Wasn’t this theory rejected by Professor Lu?”

The old section chief smiled.

“There are many things that have been denied by science? Moreover, Professor Lu did not completely deny whether there is such a mysterious will in the universe. He only classified it under the category of agnosticism and proved the existence of the Void and the existence of n+1 dimensions.”

The man sitting behind the desk had an unexpected look on his face.

“I didn’t know you knew so much about physics.”

The old section chief grinned and said, “After staying in the task force for a long time, you learn all kinds of things.”

This was the truth.

For the Ministry of State Security, the cases they dealt with were often more difficult than normal criminal cases.

After reading the file, the man put it at a corner of the table and sighed softly.

“Then what about this case?”

“This is no longer our job.”

“What do you mean?”

“Our satellite is aimed at the suspected pirate organization 24 hours a day, and we followed their fishing boat to find their nest.”

“Amazing...” The man sitting behind the desk couldn’t help but sit up straight. He then asked curiously, “What are the higher-ups going to do? Notify Interpol?”

“Interpol? They can’t control this kind of thing.” The old section chief smiled. His eyes narrowed as he said, “There is no need to ask them for such a small matter. There are a hundred ways I can think of when it comes to dealing with this problem.”

“What method are you going to use?”

“The method of stepping on ants.”
