Chapter 1343 - Using The Fleet As Cover

“Matching…Matching complete.”

The photos flashed through Jiang Chen’s tactical eyepiece one by one, and finally froze on an unsmiling face.

[Frank, the highest-ranking CIB official in Nippon, commanding over 400 field agents.]

In the Ghost Agents database, there was only a brief sentence about him. Even Gill did not obtain more information about the area head in Nippon.

Jiang Chen then performed facial recognition on several other CIB agents. Three of them did not show up in the database due to minimal activities. After Jiang Chen established profiles for them, he focused all his attention on Frank, as well as the two navy officers approaching them.

[Thomas, Lieutenant Admiral, Commander of the UA Seventh Fleet, Resume: Graduated from the University of California with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, and later received a master’s degree in national security studies from the National War College…]

[Howard, Major Admiral, Chief of Yokosuka Military Base, Resume: …]

A lieutenant general, a major general, plus a senior CIB offical.

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

Things seemed to be getting more interesting.

The tiny probe protruded from the bottom of the Hummingbird drone, aimed at the window of the car, and projected invisible infrared light. Jiang Chen pressed his headset and soon he listened in on the three people’s conversation.

“…If you’re worried, we can send a ship to transport these servers to Guam, and then ship it back to Los Angeles by air.”

“We cannot ship by air! You must use a submarine! We must!” Frank said immediately, “Only a submarine can ensure that these servers can be safely delivered to the Los Angeles Research Center! In addition, the Seventh Fleet must cruise to Guam and create the illusion that these severs were sent to Guam!”

“I don’t understand,” Major Admiral Howard frowned. “No matter how arrogant Celestial Trade is, do they dare to directly attack our plane?”

“Humph,” Frank sneered, and the eyes above the hooked nose pierced sharpness, “You don’t know them. They never played by the rules. They may not dare to shoot our plane down blatantly, but they can make us never find where it went.”

“Are these servers so important?” Lieutenant Admiral Thomas asked seriously. “It is not a trivial matter to mobilize the Seventh Fleet. It requires documents from the Department of Defense. Although Secretary Carter asked me to follow your orders, the mobilization of the fleet has exceeded your authority…”

“I’m here for this very reason.” As Frank spoke, he took the briefcase from the agent next to him and handed the document he took from the briefcase to Lieutenant Admiral Thomas. “This is the authorization document signed by the Department of Defense, Capitol, and Congress. I hope you take this matter seriously.”

Under the streetlight, Lieutenant Admiral Thomas looked through the document with a serious expression. After about five minutes, he passed it to the officer next to him and showed a stern look.

“Tomorrow morning, I’ll verify with the Department of Defense. If it is true, I’ll follow everything as you order.”

The three said something more and then walked to the barracks.

They were certainly quite dedicated to distracting Celestial Trade by using the entire Seventh Fleet as a cover for those servers. The question now was where those servers were. If he couldn’t locate the servers, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack, and he would have to monitor every single nuclear submarine that may set off at any moment.

He had to admit that Frank’s analysis was spot on. Jiang Chen possessed the means to “hack” both planes and ships, but he could not do much to nuclear submarines. Even with Celestial Trade’s technology, to locate a completely silent submarine would be no easier than finding a needle in the Pacific.

Jiang Chen hesitated as he looked at the patrolling Marines.

He was by the port warehouse, about a kilometer away from those people, and he did not want to sneak into an enclosed building. Because they set up countermeasures for optical invisibility, in addition to infrared rays, there must be other countermeasures he was not aware of in these sensitive areas.

Otherwise, Gill would have penetrated in long ago.

As for those drones…

As long as they were not blind, the drone would be easily spotted if it descended by even a few meters.

What to do?

He suddenly had an idea and pressed his helmet.

“Lilith, can you hack into these people’s electronic devices?”

“Turn on the drone’s data transmission laser and aim it at the electronic device that you intend to hack into.” Lilith yawned on the living room sofa and said with a tone that lacked interest, “The boss fight is about to start, quick.”

Lilith’s words almost made Jiang Chen choke on his saliva.

Fu*k!

Is your boss fight more important or is my ask more important? Are you not afraid I would ask Ayesha to cut the internet?

Just when Jiang Chen was busy finding suitable electronic devices for Lilith, he suddenly discovered a very serious problem.

None of those people wore any wearables. He didn’t know whether or not these people brought phones, but no one had their phones out at this moment.

Fu*k!? Can someone make a call so I can hack you?

Jiang Chen was desperately looking for solutions as those people were about to enter the building. He randomly pointed the laser at the sunglasses of the agent behind Frank. However, the word [transmitting] appeared on his screen.

He guessed right and that the sunglasses were indeed an electronic device with a built-in storage device, built-in camera, and Bluetooth chip. The camera was probably used to take pictures. After all, a professional, such as an agent, shouldn’t use their phones to take pictures while on intelligence missions. The agent probably would have never guessed that his own tool would become a loophole for Jiang Chen.

But then again, only advanced artificial intelligence would be able to install a backdoor in a tiny memory space in such a short amount of time and bypass the private encrypted security layers.

Even Chief Security Engineer Xie Lei couldn’t do this.

After all, it was no longer a field that humans could reach.

“It’s done.”

Soon, Lilith’s voice entered his ear.

The words, like heaven’s blessing, let Jiang Chen breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at the picture on the tablet, and a smile appeared.

With the help of the Bluetooth chip, the data was transmitted back to the drone in real-time, and it transmitted directly to Jiang Chen’s tactical eyepiece. Although he couldn’t hear anything, Jiang Chen had completely entered the perspective of “Agent A” who, at this moment, followed Frank.

Although he didn’t know where they were going, Jiang Chen believed that it must be related to those servers.

The servers were the key for Celestial Trade to remove the UA’s influence in the Western Pacific. As long as Nippon fell, the only thorn in front of the Earth Defense Alliance would be South Korea.

And most critically, he could not allow the UA to get T-virus data!

It was a ticking time bomb. Even if they didn’t use it on others, they may kill themselves with it, and it would be a detrimental lose to the world.

Regardless of the reason, Jiang Chen was determined to get those servers!
