The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Early June 1994, Washington, D.C., FBI headquarters building.

Brian Ward was now beyond furious.

"Are you all idiots? I originally thought this operation was a sure thing. With this funding, we could finalize our plans in Zurich and bring Wang Duoyu back to America in one fell swoop."

"I can't believe it! I can't believe you're all such idiots! Moreno, that bastard, led over five hundred men, and they were almost all wiped out! What a disgrace!"

The FBI considers itself to be one of the best agencies in the United States, and the agents and special forces it trains are the elite of the elite.

Is this the result?

Millions of ounces of gold were intercepted en route, and Moreno and a few others who were lucky enough to survive were arrested by the Nazca warlords.

What is this if not shameful?
Anyway, Brian Ward felt too ashamed to face anyone.

The Nazca warlords have now sent a message to the FBI: they need money, otherwise they definitely won't let Moreno and his men go back.

This matter couldn't be left unresolved, so in his anger, Brian Ward had to go to the White House office to negotiate with someone.

At present, the only option is to use diplomatic means to get Mandela in South Africa to force Nazca, the warlord, to release the prisoners.

Mandela only took office as the new leader of South Africa on May 10th of this year.

Less than a month after taking office, Mandela received a phone call from the United States, which delighted him.

But the next moment, I heard about this.

Logically speaking, the Nazca warlords boosted the morale of South Africa, after all, they had captured American elites like Moreno.

That's really interesting!
So, should we release them now, or not?
The FBI was so preoccupied with Moreno's situation that they paid little attention to the actions Martinez had previously arranged for Svenjok and others.

The case of the theft of blueprints from Grumman's B2 bomber engine assembly workshop was handed over to the CIA.

However, the intelligence agency did not pay much attention to it either, because several large-scale mega-dollar transactions had occurred in South America and Latin America.

The intelligence agency had to send a large number of special agent teams to investigate.

While the B-2 bomber is also very important, the super dollar case is equally important, and the pressure from the Federal Reserve is immense.

In Washington, D.C., at the CIA headquarters, Baker Barnes looked grim, several documents piled on his desk.

These documents all concern urgent cases from the past two days.

The theft of blueprints, a massive US dollar transaction, the sudden disappearance of a small team in the suburbs of Moscow—each of these cases is extremely urgent.

However, handling these cases well is not easy.

Baker Barnes, on the other hand, would rather ignore cases involving super dollar transactions.

But the people at the Federal Reserve were watching him closely, which left him feeling helpless.

The current situation is that the CIA is short-staffed.

"If you don't have enough manpower, then hire more. Didn't you make a lot of money last year? With money, why are you worried about not having enough people?"

Federal Reserve Commissioner Roland said nonchalantly.

Although Rowland was just a commissioner, he held a very high position at the Federal Reserve; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to freely enter and leave Barnes' office.

Because Roland's surname was Morgan.

Roland Morgan is a member of the Morgan family. Although he is not the first in line to the throne, he holds a high position and possesses extraordinary abilities.

Barnes suppressed his anger and said curtly:
“Roland, you need to understand that our intelligence agency has done its best. We are a huge organization with more than 200,000 agents worldwide. The money we brought back from the Gulf Cartel’s vault in Mexico last year has long been spent. We have no money!”

"Furthermore, our intelligence agency needs elite agents, not rookie agents. We can't just recruit whenever we want."

Roland Morgan interrupted:
"Then you can try to recruit them. I remember the KGB, MI6, and the General Directorate of External Security have many agents, so why don't you try to recruit them?"

Upon hearing this, Barnes suddenly slammed his hand on his desk.

All the documents flew up and quickly scattered all over the ground.

Barnes stared at Roland with eyes blazing with fury:
"Fuck, do you think it's because I don't want to turn them? Since you're so capable, then go ahead and turn them. You handle the super-large dollar case; I do hope you can resolve this quickly."

To everyone's surprise, the latter remained calm and unperturbed, showing no anger whatsoever.
"This is your intelligence agency's job. My job is to keep a close eye on you and make sure you crack the Super Dollar case as soon as possible."

“Barnes, you’re using taxpayers’ money, you can’t just blatantly shirk your responsibilities like this, or you know the consequences.”

Barnes, having given up all hope, said nonchalantly:

"No problem, I've done my best anyway. Whether the super-large US dollar transaction case can be solved or not is not my problem."

"It's 1994 now, and I'll be retiring in two years. I can't be bothered with you guys anymore."

After saying that, Barnes left the office.

He had absolutely no liking for the Morgan family and other financial giants.

Because these people are nothing but parasites on the empire.

But there's nothing we can do; the United States is a federal country, and the real masters are these capitalists.

If Beckbarnes didn't want to die or implicate his family, then he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

On the continent of North America, everyone gathers together for the sake of profit.

Capitalists hold a large amount of resources and interests, so they have the greatest say.

The Federal Reserve is very powerful, but they also need to rely on agencies such as the intelligence agency and the investigation agency to help solve cases involving super-large sums of money.

One North Korean office, Office 39, was already a major headache, let alone another unknown counterfeit currency group. No wonder the Federal Reserve is so anxious and worried.

Unfortunately, this matter has dragged on for several years, and the location of the super dollar factory still hasn't been found.

Ugh!
New York, Want Want Group headquarters.

"So now the intelligence agency and the investigation agency are both bogged down? They haven't done a thorough investigation into the theft of the bomber blueprints at all?"

Zheng Baoyin looked at Martinez and asked with narrowed eyes.

The latter nodded and said:

"Yes, we've already learned of this through our informants within the intelligence and investigation bureaus."

"Although our plan worked, we didn't obtain any specific intelligence information, and we don't know what the Americans are trying to do. If the professor really goes to Zurich, it probably won't be so easy."

They care more than anyone else.

Although it seems better for Wang Duoyu to come to the United States.

However, if he really comes to the United States, the Want Want Group will likely be completely exposed.

When the time comes, the Want Want Group will likely face only disintegration, or even being dismantled by other capital.

There's no way around it, the waters here are just too deep.

It's so deep that no one can grasp it.

"Well"

Zheng Baoyin stroked his chin, feeling the skin he had just shaved that morning. After a moment's thought, he said:
"There are only a few days left until the time Uncle gave us, so let's conduct one more thorough reconnaissance before we proceed."

Whether or not to attend the conference in Zurich is up to Wang Duoyu.

Based on the information currently available, the United States certainly has a lot of ideas about Wang Duoyu, but such a plan is probably only in the minds of high-ranking officials in the intelligence or investigation bureau.

If there is no top-secret plan document in paper form, then this matter is in big trouble.

Or perhaps such information exists, but it has been stored away, completely preventing it from being accessed by advanced technologies such as computers.

So now, they've done their best in this matter, but Wang Duoyu doesn't know what to do next.

In Harbin, on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Duoyu is listening to a lecture. Tonight's teacher is Wang Yifei.

The little guy's storytelling wasn't very vivid, but his voice was definitely not quiet.

Moreover, she was very strict. When she saw her mother's eyelids drooping, she brought it up as an example and even wanted to make her mother stand as punishment.

What a precocious little devil! He takes revenge without holding back for a moment.

Just now at dinner, Wang Yifei was scolded by her mother for tapping her bowl and chopsticks, and she remembered it.

Standing as punishment was definitely not an option, and Wang Duoyu didn't allow it, which made the little guy angry.

But I still finished teaching the mini-lesson diligently.

After it was over, the little girl immediately said to her father:
"Dad, you're being unfair! Mom made a mistake, so why can't I make her stand in the corner as punishment?"

"Why do you think that is? Your mother isn't a real student. She's just like me, accompanying you in your studies. This punishment of standing in the corner is only suitable for you."

"Hmph, Dad, you're so biased!"

She got angry, and after saying that, she stomped her feet angrily as she walked towards her room.

"Wang Yifei, come back here!"

"I won't!"

Are you sure you really aren't coming back?

Bang!
The door slammed shut, and Wang Yifei locked herself in her room, not wanting to listen to her father's nonsense.

Six or seven-year-old children can be quite temperamental.

Wang Duoyu suddenly shouted:

"We're going to Sichuan to see the giant pandas tomorrow, but we're not taking some of the naughty kids with us."

Swish!
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Yifei immediately opened the door and ran out excitedly.

She wasn't embarrassed at all, as if she wasn't the one who was angry just now.

"Dad, shall we go see the giant pandas?"

Wang Yifei certainly enjoys traveling and is eager to join in the fun.

Anyway, she hadn't been to Sichuan for a year or two, and she hadn't seen such adorable animals as giant pandas in a long time.

"Yes, we're going to see the giant pandas, but that doesn't include you."

Sisi's eyes widened immediately:

"Why? Daddy, I want to go too! How can you bear to leave your dearest daughter behind?"

"You're not listening to me anymore. If I bring you along, won't that just cause trouble for me and your mother? I'm not bringing you!"

"Daddy~~~ I was wrong, I'll definitely be good, Daddy, you're the best, please take me with you."

The little girl pleaded and clung to her father's arm, desperately trying to get him to agree.

"Are you really obedient?"

"Yes, Dad, I'll definitely be good!" Wang Yifei nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

Therefore, for Wang Duoyu, taming a temperamental child is very simple.

The matter just passed.

As Liu Xiaoli was going to bed that night, she suddenly asked:
"Duoyu, you suddenly changed your travel plans. Did something happen?"

According to the plan, we definitely won't go out to play on the weekends before summer vacation.

However, Wang Duoyu is now planning to go out during the weekend and the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.

There are three days off in total, so of course we can go out and have a good time.

June 11th and 12th are Saturday and Sunday, while Monday the 13th is the Dragon Boat Festival, a full three-day holiday, which is a good time to go on vacation to a slightly farther place.

"Yes, you should remember the leader who came to Beijing last time, right?"

Liu Xiaoli nodded upon hearing this, but frowned and asked in confusion:

"I do remember, but what does that have to do with our travel plans?"

"It's very relevant!"

Wang Duoyu sighed and said helplessly:

"As originally planned, I will not attend the International Congress of Mathematicians to be held in Zurich this August."

"But the situation is special now. The leader came to see me personally, and several other leaders in Beijing also called me."

"Therefore, I cannot afford to be careless. Given the current situation, I must attend this conference."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Xiaoli tensed up instantly, grasped his hand, and her voice trembled:
"Can't I not go?"

Since 1983, Wang Duoyu has never been abroad. How could Liu Xiaoli, as his wife, not know about his situation?

Given Wang Duoyu's status and position, it was impossible for him not to be invited to those international conferences.

However, he only attends academic conferences held in China, ignoring all conferences held abroad.

Liu Xiaoli wasn't entirely clear on the inside story, but she could definitely guess a thing or two.

"No way!" Wang Duoyu shook his head.
"To be honest, I cherish my life more than anyone else, but sometimes, there are things that someone has to do."

He didn't tell Liu Xiaoli any more specific details; he couldn't possibly let her know about the B2 Spirit bomber, could he?
Americans use this as a trap to lure him into a scheme.

Even if everyone knows it might be a trap, they still have to jump in.

In ancient times, this was called "entering the game with one's own body".

Although Wang Duoyu was not a strategist, he had no choice but to jump into this situation.

In the world of martial arts, this is something one can't help but accept.

Liu Xiaoli became even more nervous, her face turning pale.
"Really, is it impossible not to go?"

"Xiaoli, don't worry." Wang Duoyu suddenly became optimistic:

"I'm a tough person. Whether it's our own people or foreigners, they don't want to see anything happen to me."

"Since my life is definitely not in any danger, then everything else is a minor matter!"

"Besides, I'm someone who can only sit and wait to die. I will definitely come back safely this time."

Hearing him say that, Liu Xiaoli hugged him even tighter, as if she was afraid he would disappear in the next second.

"Alright, we're an old married couple now, so you don't need to worry about me."

"Who said we're an old married couple? Shameless!"

The next day, Wang Duoyu and his family took a plane straight to Sichuan.

In the afternoon, Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli took the children to see the giant pandas. In the evening, while they were resting in their villa, Wang Duoyu quietly left by car.

At another villa nearby, Wang Duoyu met with the leaders who had come from Beijing.

This is a heavily guarded villa area, with soldiers patrolling the area and standing guard at the entrance.

There is no need to worry about safety.

In the study, Wang Duoyu chatted with his boss for nearly an hour before leaving.

"Alas, these are truly troubled times!"

The leader watched Wang Duoyu's car drive away and sighed deeply.

We are lagging behind others, and there's nothing we can do about it. We know that sending Wang Duoyu to the conference is a trap, but we have no choice but to fall into it.

After thinking about it for ten days, Wang Duoyu even decided to turn the tables and make the Americans lose both their money and their lives.

Since the Gulf War a few years ago, the whole world has been completely stunned by the United States’ Immediate Global Strike System and the lightning-fast Operation Desert Storm.

But we were awakened by the blow.

In fact, Wang Duoyu had mentioned this matter many times before the Gulf War, but at that time our industrial base was very backward. On the other hand, even now, we still need to vigorously promote economic development.

Without money, it's all just empty talk.

The desire for technology, more technological products, and the ambition to catch up with or even surpass other countries in all aspects all boil down to money.

Therefore, making money must be the top priority.

However, military technology cannot be abandoned, so there is some conflict in this matter.

Take the Longxiao stealth fighter jet as an example. Over the years, has the investment been small?
Even though we have the Nantianmen Plan in place, we cannot rely solely on it.

Taking steady and methodical steps is what we should be doing now.

The fact that the US was willing to offer the B-2 Spirit strategic bomber as bait, and that Wang Duoyu was willing to get involved, seems impulsive and reckless, completely contrary to our current steady and pragmatic strategy.

But in reality, this is a very safe approach.

Wang Duoyu quickly agreed, which probably made the CIA and FBI extremely happy, thinking that victory was in their grasp.

Little did they know that the covert struggle between the two sides had already ended, and what followed was all open conflict.

Since the Americans were willing to provide the technical data on the B-2 Spirit bomber, Wang Duoyu was naturally willing to go to Zurich; otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered. Therefore, once Wang Duoyu agreed, all the pressure fell on the Americans.

For the next two days, Wang Duoyu and his family spent the Dragon Boat Festival in Chengdu, eating zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) and watching others row dragon boats before returning to Harbin.

On June 15th, CCTV's News Broadcast reported that Wang Duoyu will be attending the International Congress of Mathematicians to be held in Zurich this August.

This news caused a huge uproar.

That evening, Wang Duoyu skipped the home class and went to the villa next door to chat with Qiu Chengtong, Smail, William Thurston, and others.

The mathematics researchers from the Harbin Institute of Advanced Studies rushed to Wang Duoyu's house to inquire about the situation.

Nobody knew when Wang Duoyu accepted the interview with CCTV reporters, or how he suddenly agreed to attend the conference.

No one could understand it.

Especially Qiu Chengtong and his group, since they had invited him repeatedly before, but Wang Duoyu had politely declined each time.

Now that the conference is approaching, it is simply unbelievable and incomprehensible that they would suddenly announce their participation in such a high-profile manner.

"Gentlemen, I know why you've come. To tell you the truth, I was forced into this situation."

Wang Duoyu raised his hand to stop the noise and said in a deep voice:
"The leaders in Beijing have urged me to attend this conference, but I'm worried that someone might try to harm me."

"That's the situation now, so in August, we'll go to Zurich together, and we'll stand together through thick and thin!"

Yau Shing-Tung and the other Chinese Americans instantly understood, and Smail, John Milnor, and William Thurston also quickly realized what was going on.

Everyone present was one of the world's most intelligent people, and they quickly figured out this scheme.

Smail's eyes flickered, and he frowned, saying, "Professor Wang, I remember you didn't get involved in politics, so why are they pressuring you like this?"

The others also looked at Wang Duoyu with puzzled expressions.

Wang Duoyu gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying:
"As you all know, given my status and position, no one can coerce me into doing something I don't want to do, but there are quite a few people and things in this world that I care about."

"And ask yourselves honestly, can we really be 100% free from politics?"

"Let's not dwell on these sad things. I just want to do what I love. I've been stuck in China for eleven years, it's time to go out and see the world."

"If any force tries to trap me, I hope you will all lend a helping hand!"

William Thurston, Alicone, Yorkes, and others nodded emphatically.

They stayed a little longer, until 9:20, before finally leaving.

Liu Deben, Lü Gongliang, and the others were already waiting at the door.

Wang Duoyu invited the two of them into the study of the villa, chatted briefly for less than ten minutes, and then saw them off.

That's the end of this matter.

It was late at night, and he would no longer receive guests.

London, the capital of Great Britain, is a cosmopolitan city in Europe.

On the Oxford University campus, several professors from the Department of Mathematics learned from the newspaper that Wang Duoyu would be attending this year's conference, and their eyes widened in surprise.

"So high-profile? Didn't he say he didn't want to participate?"

"Who knows what they're up to? But I'm curious to check it out."

“That’s true. I’ve never met this ‘Emperor of Mathematics’ either. We’re not far from Zurich, so we can go and join in the fun.”

Many mathematics professors at their university have never met Wang Duoyu.

Logically speaking, they should have all seen it, but many old guys were unwilling to sit there for so long as to travel all the way to Harbin to see Wang Duoyu show off.

But Zurich is different; it's nearby, so they're naturally happy to go and see it.

In the original timeline, only 2,200 people attended this conference held in Zurich.

It's worth noting that both the conference held in Berkeley in 1986 and the conference held in Ice City in 1990 had more than 3,500 attendees.

In particular, the number of math enthusiasts and researchers who came to Harbin to attend the conference four years ago exceeded five thousand.

If we include amateur mathematicians, the number would definitely exceed ten thousand.

Even if we only consider foreign mathematicians, the number exceeds three thousand five hundred.

In this current timeline, before Wang Duoyu announced his participation, the number of applicants was just over two thousand, and it's highly unlikely that it will increase any further.

After all, not many math professors and researchers from the United States, Tokyo, Moscow, or other places will actually go.

However, now that Wang Duoyu has announced his participation in the conference so publicly, the number of mathematical researchers heading to Zurich could increase dramatically.

"Hehe, then you'd better hurry up and register. And you'd better book a hotel room early, otherwise you might end up sleeping on the streets."

Hearing his old friend's teasing, the white-bearded professor frowned deeply:
"How could I possibly be sleeping on the streets?"

"Why isn't it possible?"

The professor with the Mediterranean hairstyle said with a smile:

"Anyway, I've already booked the hotel, so there's no need to worry."

"And you know very little about that mathematical emperor of the East, and are unaware that he has many fanatical followers all over the world."

"Do you know that for the past eleven years, that Eastern emperor has never left their territory?"

"Even so, quite a few math enthusiasts still go to Harbin every year. I've been there a few times and witnessed the scene firsthand."

"And you have to understand, there aren't many hotels in Zurich to begin with, and there are even fewer tourists on ordinary days. At this time of year, if you don't book a hotel in advance..."

The white-bearded professor's expression changed, and he dared not delay any longer, so he quickly contacted someone to book a hotel.

Zurich is a city located in the northern Alps, at the northwestern end of Lake Zurich.

Although this is Switzerland's largest city and most important industrial and commercial city, Professor Mediterranean already knew when he booked the hotel that the hotels near ETH Zurich were almost fully booked.

Let alone now.

So booking a hotel early is definitely not a bad thing.

Paris, France, École Normale Supérieure.

"Will the Eastern Emperor really come to Zurich to attend the conference?"

A group of professors were chatting about today's news in their office.

Such casual conversation is indeed rare for a mathematics professor.

But since it concerns that mathematical emperor from the East, everyone is very interested.

Wang Duoyu has published many papers and achieved many scientific research results. He has also united more than ten Fields Medal winners on his own.

These facts also demonstrate that his personal strength and charisma are truly extraordinary.

In the past, many people were unwilling to go to the ice city in the east, thinking that it was very backward. So, unless they were loyal followers of the Eastern Emperor, they would definitely not go to the Far East.

Now that Wang Duoyu is going to Zurich to attend the conference, things have naturally changed.

It's right in the Alps, so everyone would definitely want to go see it.

Princeton University, USA.

In the mathematics department office, everyone looked at today's newspaper in silence.

Princeton University today has very few of its top mathematicians left, such as Andre Weil, who is very old and rarely cares about outside affairs.

Because Andrei Weil was born in 1906, he is now 88 years old, his health is not as good as before, and he is no longer willing to do anything.

Most importantly, with Vance Lawrence dead two years prior, Andre Weil knew that Princeton University had virtually no chance of rising to prominence.

Jeffrey Vogan suddenly spoke up:

"Gentlemen, will you still attend this conference?"

Sheila scoffed, "Why not participate?"

"What I mean is, could there be some kind of conspiracy behind the sudden participation of that mathematical emperor from the East in the conference?"

Princeton University now has very few new generations of mathematical geniuses and professors. Although it is not yet known whether there is a generational gap, it is far less prosperous than it was more than a decade ago.

It's important to know that fifteen years ago, even a school like UC Berkeley had top-tier professors like Smail and Shiing-Shen Chern at its helm.

And there are also young mathematical geniuses like Shing-Tung Yau.

And what's the result now?

All of them were called away and did not stay in the United States.

In contrast, in Harbin, mathematical geniuses are everywhere.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu's sudden and high-profile announcement of his participation in the conference might be a conspiracy orchestrated by him.

Perhaps it's to further curb Princeton University's development, or even to sever their foundation.

Upon hearing this, Maxstein shouted sternly:
"How dare they? Even if they have some kind of scheme, do you think we'd be afraid?"

"You have to understand that we are now backed by the United States. Our country is the most developed superpower in the world, and the only one."

Jeffrey Vaughan remarked languidly, "But Princeton isn't the only center of mathematics in the world."

These words infuriated Maxstein, Sheila, and others.

They were helpless; that's just reality.

No one can beat Wang Duoyu.

Although Wang Duoyu has not yet announced a complete proof of the Riemann Hypothesis, who knows if he might be hiding his true abilities?
André Weil summarized Wang Duoyu's philosophy of life as follows: concealing cleverness in clumsiness, using obscurity to reveal clarity, embodying purity in turbidity, and yielding to achieve advancement.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, Wang Duoyu has definitely done the trick of concealing his skill in clumsiness, and more than once.

Otherwise, Qiu Chengtong and the others wouldn't have all gathered in Harbin.

"Alright, regardless of whether there are any conspiracies or tricks, we should still participate."

Hilla snorted:

"Without exchanging ideas and experiences with others, progress will be slower, making it even more difficult to catch up with the East."

"I've heard that Wang Duoyu's son has a very good talent for mathematics, as well as several other very good mathematical geniuses. If they all participate, we can try to get in touch with them."

"People are greedy for money, I don't believe those young people wouldn't be greedy?"

What Americans love to do most is throw money around.

With tens of thousands of dollars thrown at them, Sheila really didn't believe that those math geniuses wouldn't be tempted.
Washington, D.C., the headquarters building of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Beckbarnes looked at the newspaper article, which featured a picture of Wang Duoyu, and his face was full of interesting expressions.

After a while, he asked in a deep voice:

Is the information in the newspaper accurate?

If Wang Duoyu really goes to Zurich to attend the conference, then their intelligence agency will have to make preparations in advance.

However, they failed to receive the relevant information in advance, which is an absolute disgrace.

As one of the world's top-ranked intelligence agencies, how can it be so backward in terms of intelligence gathering capabilities? Doesn't that mean we can only find out when the enemy comes knocking on our door?
Upon hearing this, Prometheus responded:

"Boss, this information is accurate. I've just spoken with people in the Far East, and it's definitely true. They've also contacted the White House, and they're probably already negotiating."

"Why weren't you informed of this beforehand?" Beckbarnes was in a bad mood, his tone very displeased.

"Your intelligence department has so many top experts, and the intelligence system in the Far East has been rebuilt. Is this how you repay me?"

Of the money robbed from the Gulf Group last year, besides half of which was embezzled by Baker Barnes, the rest was invested in the establishment of the Far East intelligence system.

The Far East intelligence network had been attacked multiple times and lost contact one after another, so since taking office, Baker Barnes has been working hard to rebuild it.

I never imagined the situation would be so terrible.

Prometheus felt helpless, but on the surface he still had to maintain a flattering smile and explain the situation to the other party.

Wang Duoyu's sudden and high-profile announcement of his participation in the conference was indeed unexpected by the CIA, but it also showed that the previous trap plan had succeeded.

If nothing unexpected happens, once Wang Duoyu arrives in Zurich, it will be impossible for him to return to Harbin.

"Hmph, I hope you keep your word!"

Beckbarnes scoffed, then pondered for a moment before saying:

"By the way, regarding the trap plan, you will personally carry it out, just like you did in the Gulf Group case last year. You must make sure it hits the mark decisively and without any hesitation, giving the other side any chance to escape or retaliate."

"Apart from that, I'll handle the rest of the matter, including calming things down. I'll coordinate well with the White House."

Upon hearing this, Prometheus nodded, indicating that he understood.

This is a simple matter for him, but he will definitely take it very seriously.

Because Wang Duoyu has already come up with too many plans in Harbin.

There's a suspected Mach 5 speed aircraft project, the Nantianmen project with no confirmed details, and several other projects that only have code names.

In any case, Prometheus was unable to confirm these plans clearly, only knowing fragments of information about the scales, making it difficult to speculate or figure them out.

Previously, the Far East intelligence system had sent back some blurry photos, but there was still no conclusion regarding the Mach 5 aircraft project.

Without obtaining more detailed information, Prometheus and his companions dared not act rashly.

Baker Barnes left the intelligence agency building and went straight to the White House.

After entering the White House office, he waited for a while before meeting with George Herbert and others.

"Mr. President, you are probably already aware of the situation in the Far East. We have now officially launched the Trap Plan."

As they listened to Baker Barnes' report, George Herbert and the others looked thoughtful, and no one interrupted him.

The trap plan is very audacious, but it is also crucial to achieving its purpose.

Therefore, even if there is a real problem, they will follow up.

It's simply a matter of who has the better methods and who is more capable.

Overt and covert methods are used simultaneously; it's just a matter of who can act more convincingly.

After Beckbarnes finished speaking, George Herbert nodded faintly:
"Very well, then everyone, please have a chat and help identify any gaps or omissions. We must ensure that our trap plan is executed successfully this time."

Navie Albert, Todd Turner, Vincent Carlos, and others then spoke up, stating their thoughts.

Among the think tank members in the office, several only learned about the trap plan now and had no prior knowledge of it.

It's clear that George Herbert didn't entirely trust his think tank either.

We can't say that the White House has been completely infiltrated by the enemy and turned into a sieve, can we?

But to be fair, the fact that the trap plan hasn't been leaked yet is a good thing.

"I think we should provide them with some technical information that only modifies a few decimal points; otherwise, they definitely won't fall for it."

Dukenigan said in a deep voice:
"The B-2 Spirit bomber is crucial to our country's leading position in this field, and every piece of technical data is extremely important."

"According to information currently available to the intelligence agencies and the FBI, Govadia Technology Consultants has disclosed technical data regarding the B-2 stealth strategic bomber's exhaust system and radar."

"It's very likely that the Far East already possesses some of the other overall information regarding the B-2 bomber."

"Therefore, if we try to fool them, they are very likely to see through our deception."

"Conversely, if we can modify a few small parts of genuine technical data, creating a mix of truth and falsehood that confuses the other party and makes them believe it to be genuine, then they will be unable to determine the truth in a short period of time and will inevitably have no choice but to go to Zurich."

Yes, they still cannot be 100% certain that Wang Duoyu will definitely appear at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich.

After all, we're all ancient foxes; there's no point in continuing with the ghost stories.

However, the indirect conflict between the two sides is inevitable.

"On the other hand, we should indeed send a few B2 technical experts to Zurich to lure them out, rather than letting the Far East detect anything amiss."

After hearing Duknigan's advice, everyone in the office couldn't help but applaud.

This is truly vicious; it kills not only the body but also the spirit.

According to Dukenigan's plan, the only thing waiting for those in the Far East to do is probably to personally participate in this step.

Navie Albert and others also offered many suggestions, gradually refining the trap plan.
