Chapter 587: Not idle at all! Uncle Jin's attack!

"Hello everyone! That's truly great!"

In the basement of a farm in Bald Eagle, adhering to the Chinese tradition of a new broom sweeping clean, Uncle Jin was speaking fluently and passionately in the large conference room.

"First of all! I must report to the wise Director that, under your brilliant guidance, I have cleared up the misunderstanding with Professor Carmen, and his wheat futures purchases will officially commence tomorrow! For this, Professor Carmen thanks the CIA for its actions against certain domestic criminal forces! She also highly praises..."

The CIA's top brass had never enjoyed such a sophisticated way of flattering others, especially Uncle Kim's sleight of hand in dealing with his old rival, which made the CIA director extremely happy.

"Then, let's get down to business. It's about the repatriation of the detained Chinese students."

After finishing his flattery, Uncle Jin took a sip of coffee and continued:

"After our 'persuasion' throughout the night, some students, showing great understanding, have joined us. Director, look, this is the list!"

"Oh? How come those stubborn mules gave in so quickly? Some of them have been in the 'floating prison' for almost three years!"

Uncle Jin raised his head without making a sound, but clenched his fists tightly under the table.

"My comrades, you've suffered. Hang in there!" With that thought, Uncle Jin flashed a perfect eight-tooth smile.

"Hey! If it weren't for your brilliant leadership, Chief! Unlike those idiots, you didn't arrest them on home soil, but instead launched a surprise attack on a cruise ship at sea..."

"That way, no one will know, and there won't be any old guys like Professor Carmen offering help. Besides, the place of confinement is a prison on our ship, adrift at sea. Under these circumstances, even the strongest person would feel despair!"

"So I extended an olive branch, and they immediately embraced it like a lifeline! All it took was a simple 'employee status' and a promise to help them get a green card, and all the problems were solved!"

Uncle Jin emphasized the word "help," as if afraid these straightforward guys wouldn't understand.

"This is all thanks to you! I just got the freebie..."

The director nodded reservedly: "That makes sense, but how can you guarantee they'll pass the intelligence out? That country is too special!"

"Aha, Director, I've got a brilliant idea! Remember those two advanced computers our intelligence department bought from France?"

"Oh? The two that were dismantled? The Science and Technology Bureau gave an analysis report, saying that they had some merits, but weren't particularly advanced. They also said that some domestic companies have reached or even surpassed the corresponding technologies..."

The bureau chief lazily flipped through his memo: "So, you have some ideas? Let me guess, a stepping stone?"

"So wise of you!"

Uncle Jin first flattered him, then changed the subject.

"Not only that, the Science and Technology Bureau only analyzed the internal structure of the computer, right? Did they overlook something more important? A program that can transmit messages in real time?"

"With this program, I have a brilliant plan..."

The director of the Science and Technology Bureau, who was idly standing by, immediately became alarmed when Uncle Jin mentioned their Science and Technology Bureau.

At yesterday's internal meeting, Uncle Jin subtly refuted the former department head; he was well aware of this.

It was only when Uncle Jin started talking about the program that I remembered.

While Uncle Jin was still flattering him, he quickly summoned his men:

"Hey, what program? What's this about real-time message delivery?"

"I didn't notice! I just bought two units casually to cooperate with the undercover agents in France. This was something you did on the side when you visited France last time. You forgot?"

However, Director, you know what the situation is with computers these days. This machine has been completely disassembled, so naturally the programs inside are gone..."

After a few words starting with F, the branch chief nodded to his subordinates: "How could you make such a basic mistake!"

"Uh, those guys have recently become obsessed with the 'double-slit experiment of light,' saying it can unlock some kind of secret. Not just us, even the people at Langley Center got involved, so..."

"But don't panic, branch chief. We seem to have that procedure, just a slightly more rudimentary one..."

The branch chief's lips twitched: "This isn't going to be easy for you today! Watch my every move!"

"understand!"

Uncle Jin just finished explaining his plan.

That is to let those "surrendered" international students take the computer wreckage back with them, and lie that it was high technology that they had painstakingly brought back.

There were just enough internal components in a computer; one piece per person would be more than enough. Once these "defected" international students successfully entered key departments thanks to this "merit," they could then use the computer's real-time message transmission function to send news from that ancient country out.

"By the way! To achieve this, I heard that China plans to establish a direct line with France. Director, could we go along with this?" Uncle Jin added.

The CIA director didn't answer hastily. His scrutinizing gaze first fell on Uncle Kim before he asked:

"Science and Technology Bureau, is our new director's plan feasible? Does that procedure even really exist? Also, computers, even if they've been dismantled, are still high-tech; they shouldn't be given away so easily, right?"

After finishing his conversation with his subordinates, the branch chief stood up and smiled at Uncle Jin.

"I think it's pretty good! The computers from France aren't that much ahead of us! No, we can't say they're ahead, they're more like lagging behind. Our Science and Technology Bureau, in conjunction with domestic electronics companies, has already developed a groundbreaking integrated circuit!"

"Oh……"

A groundbreaking statement drew everyone's attention in the meeting room. This made the head of the science and technology branch puff out his chest:

"In collaboration with Fairchild Semiconductor, we have successfully developed an integrated circuit containing 4 transistors and 5 resistors, the size of an adult's fingernail! It's a 1-bit memory!"

"That French transistor computer is nothing to worry about!"

"As for the data transmission program you mentioned, we had it back in 58! Have you forgotten about the missile sites we recently deployed overseas? The corresponding data is transmitted using a similar program!"

"So, Larry's plan is perfect. There's just one thing we need to pay attention to!"

Everyone looked at him curiously.

"Hahaha! I'm worried that those Chinese people won't be able to assemble the computer parts even if they receive them! They might waste Larry's good intentions and the huge sums spent on the intercontinental cable!"

The meeting room erupted in cheers, followed by a barrage of disparaging remarks.

Although the uncle had a smile on his face, his fists clenched tighter and tighter: You bastards, have you forgotten who beat you so badly that you were crying for your parents?

Uncle Jin waited for the laughter to subside, then glanced at the smiling director: "It was indeed an oversight. It seems none of those Chinese students are majoring in electronics. To ensure the smooth implementation of the plan and reduce unnecessary risks, Director of the Science and Technology Bureau, could I recommend my deputy to go there and learn how to assemble a computer?"

"Also, could you approve a larger portion of the related funding, Director... sir?"

“Studying is no problem! Funding…” Upon hearing the uncle mention funding, the bureau chief painfully rubbed his forehead.

“My dear Jin, you know perfectly well that getting the men to approve more funding later is like asking them for their lives…”

"Each of them was extremely stingy; it was as if the money was strung on their ribs, and if you tried to pull it off, it would be stained with blood..."

"After all, we focus on overseas markets, unlike Fobler, who has leverage over them!"

Ha, you're no better. The moment you talk about funding, you shrink back faster than a turtle's head!

However, this suits me perfectly!

Uncle Jin nodded and waved to the young Johnson man at the door, who then carried in a wooden box.

"Director, now that we've finished discussing business, let's talk about how to improve welfare benefits."

Uncle Jin pointed to his project proposal and patted the wooden box.

The director hesitated for a moment, then pushed the proposal to the director of the science and technology branch.

"Just get the Science and Technology Bureau to approve it. The overall implementation plan is still within the framework of science and technology!"

Seeing that Uncle Kim was about to say something, the CIA director waved his hand and abruptly interrupted the conversation.

"Come on, let's talk about the benefits!"

"it is good!"

"Let's sell pots and pans!"
