Chapter 635 Doubts
West Indies.
Ancient island.
This is the Confederacy's only ally in Central America, at least officially, its only one.
Guantánamo in the area was handed back to the ancient island in a secret agreement two years ago. After more than two years of transformation, it became a new city.
In a small town right here.
There is a secret base hidden underground.
At this time, many people are busy in the base. This base is not public, and the main passage is an underground tunnel that connects to the coast 6.7 kilometers away. There is a secret submarine base hidden on the coast.
Since the construction was carried out secretly from the coast to the land, and the power was mainly provided by the base's own nuclear batteries, the food was also secretly supplied by the Pine Island Naval Base.
This secret base is the intelligence center of the Intelligence Department in America.
The head of the American working group is Chu Xuan, who was previously in charge of Oceania. After the situation in Oceania stabilized, he was transferred here to be responsible for the overall work of American intelligence.
Chu Xuan held a piece of information with a puzzled expression. The title of the document was: Suicide Investigation Report of Andrew, a senior researcher at the Houston Brain Wave Laboratory.
With the existence of the Shunfeng Ear system, many things that Noah knows are almost transparent in the eyes of the Intelligence Department.
Of course, the Shunfenger system is not omnipotent. It can only collect some sound data, and is powerless against intranet and paper materials.
However, a lot of public information can be collected by listening to the radio, local newspapers, television programs and the Internet, which is one of the main means of gathering intelligence in today's intelligence community.
Through this public information, combined with the information obtained by the Shunfeng Er system, after mutual verification, a large part of the true situation of the Noah Society can be obtained.
This time, the suicide of senior researcher Andrew in the scientific research base in the suburbs of Houston was also monitored by the Shunfeng Ear system.
Although Nick acted quickly and quickly blocked the news, people inside the base would more or less talk about it in private. This was something that was difficult to avoid.
In addition, Bruce and others would also talk and discuss the case during the on-site investigation, so it was natural for the secret to be leaked.
Chu Xuan put down the document.
The deputy on the side, Yang Deqi, also frowned: "Team Chu, there is something weird about this matter."
Chu Xuan naturally knew the weirdness. In the past year, there had been eight related suicide cases in a row. They were all experts in brain science and neurology. Anyone who was a qualified intelligence worker would suspect the connection.
Moreover, this matter has an unavoidable connection with the Intelligence Department. After all, the assassination of scientists is clearly the work of hostile forces.
Who are the hostile forces of the Noah Society?
Naturally it is Greater China.
But Chu Xuan is the head of the Americas working group, and he knows very well whether there is an assassination plan.
Although he had done something covertly, this matter really had nothing to do with the Intelligence Department. It was just that he had no way to explain it, at least not to complete the communication with the FBI.
This is when people sit at home and the pot comes from heaven.
Chu Xuan came to a conclusion: "Someone is deliberately setting the blame."
"Who could it be?" Yang Deqi analyzed the forces suspected of committing the crime.
If we look at the competitive relationship, the fight between the first and second tigers will naturally benefit the third party. Now the third party is the Western Continent Alliance and Lucia.
But Chu Xuan contacted the Xizhou Working Group and the Lucia Working Group, but did not find that the other party had any relevant plans.
He tapped the table and whispered: "Who is behind this?"
the other side.
Nick, who returned to Atlanta, was also thinking about this matter.
The base in the suburbs of Atlanta is one of the FBI's four core branches in North America and is the intelligence center in the southeast.
The confrontations over the years have forced Noah to consider local security issues, so multi-core is the current reasonable arrangement.
Oakley, the head of the base, also received information from Houston. At this time, he was in the office and was having a headache with Nick.
The continuous suicide incidents have not only slowed down the progress of brain research projects, but also made many researchers involved in related research restless.
This incident also made the Noah Association's board of directors very angry. They had given Nick an ultimatum to investigate the matter within three months, otherwise he would not have to do it.
Nick understands the anger and even panic of the board of directors. After all, these "suicide cases" are too unsolvable. All the directors on the board of directors are also mortals, so they will naturally fear that they will also "commit suicide".
"Oakley, what do you think?"
"Director, I think there must be something fishy about this matter." Oakley replied seriously, is this you Yuanfang?
Nick was silent for a while and continued to ask: "Do you have any clues or suspicions about the target?"
"If we go by common sense, the most suspected force of doing this is naturally the guys across the Pacific Ocean, but I always feel that this was not done by them." Oakley said at the end, feeling a little unsure.
Nick nodded: "It's really not like that. Those guys wouldn't be so stupid to do such an obvious thing to over-stimulate us."
"But not across the Pacific, Xizhou and Lucia don't seem to have the strength and motivation."
Regarding Oakley's analysis, Nick generally agrees. Although Noah will be suppressed by Greater China, it is due to the unequal technological levels of the two sides.
If Noah gets serious, they can still suppress Xizhou.
As for Mao Zi, the relationship between the two parties is also easing now.
If Xizhou and Maozi don't want to become history, they can only temporarily unite with Noah to resist the pressure from Greater China.
There is no need for them to do such a thing, because the relationship between Noah's Society and Greater China has deteriorated to the extreme. If the stimulation goes too far and triggers a world war, everyone will be ruined.
As for other small forces, Nick did not take them into consideration.
The more he kept thinking about it, the more doubtful he became about this matter, and he even felt confused. This feeling of being led by others was really terrible.
Right now.
In the Rocky Mountains of California.
The board of directors of the Noah Association held a quarterly meeting, with rotating president Redding Franklin presiding over the meeting.
After a series of changes, the number of board members of the Noah Society is currently maintained at 27. These people are the controllers of the Noah Society.
As soon as the meeting started, everyone started talking.
In particular, a series of suicide cases appeared in the brain research project, which made them anxious. One of the old men said angrily:
"This matter must be investigated as soon as possible, otherwise the next person who commits suicide may be all of you sitting here."
"What does Nick do for food? I've been searching for more than a year, but I haven't found anything useful yet." Another middle-aged man with a hooked nose looked gloomy.
The person speaking at this time was not the core director. The five core directors and rotating president Redding were all silent.
Six or seven minutes later, Redding said: "Okay, everyone, please be quiet. Nick has tried his best. It may be that the other party has adopted some new technology. To solve this matter, some necessary means may be needed."
The conference room became noisy again.
Suddenly, Valentine, a director representing the New Technology Enterprise Group, said: "President, directors, I have an immature proposal."
