Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 1247 A kind reminder

After taking a few sips of tea, Seckt put down the cup and bowed slightly: "Director Yan's tea is indeed impressive. But I'll excuse me, I have some official business to attend to."

"Don't worry," Yan Shuangying said slowly, "In fact, we invited the special envoy here for another reason."

Seckt raised his eyebrows and looked around half-jokingly: "To be honest, Director Yan, this room makes me a little breathless. Although it is decorated elegantly, it always reminds me of an interrogation room."

"The Sekt envoy joked," Yan Shuangying still maintained a gentle smile, "This is just an ordinary reception room. But..." He paused, "If the envoy feels uncomfortable, we can also change places."

"That's not necessary," Seckt sat down again, "Since Director Yan still has something to discuss, I'm naturally all ears. I just hope that this time, it's not something unpleasant to talk about."

Yan Shuangying poured another cup of tea for each of them, and a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes: "It depends on how the special envoy understands it."

"Special Envoy Sekt," Yan Shuangying put down his teacup, "We recently intercepted a top-secret intelligence from the Ingrid Empire Military."

He paused: "It's about a giant bomb code-named 'London One'."

Seckt's fingers trembled slightly, but soon returned to normal. As an experienced diplomat, he knew it was best to remain silent at this time.

Yan Shuangying seemed very satisfied with his reaction. He slowly poured himself another cup of tea, but did not continue speaking.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Sekt could sense that this news was no accident. Ingrid's new bombs seemed to have some subtle connection with the Bird Empire's recent military actions.

But Yan Shuangying was in no hurry to continue speaking. He just sipped his tea leisurely, as if waiting for something.

Finally, Sekt couldn't help but speak: "Since Director Yan mentioned this, I guess you found something interesting?"

&34；有趣？&34；燕双鹰抬眼看他，嘴角挂着若有若无的笑意，&34；这要看特使如何定义&39；有趣&39；了。&34；

Sekt knew that the other party was waiting for him to take the initiative to test him. In this intelligence game, whoever spoke first would often be in a passive position.

But he also understood that since Yan Shuangying mentioned this, he must be confident about it.

"Then why not ask Director Yan to make it clear," Seckt said cautiously.

"This 'London One'," Yan Shuangying put down the teacup, "weighs two tons and has three times the explosive charge of an ordinary bomb. According to the information we have, its explosion radius can reach 34 meters, and the shock wave can destroy all buildings within a radius of 39 meters."

Sekt's pupils contracted slightly.

"More importantly," Yan Shuangying continued, "Ingrid has modified 34 bombers specifically for dropping this type of bomb. They plan to launch a raid on the military stronghold on the eastern front of the Bird Empire in the first week of next month."

He picked up a map: "The first targets are the arsenals and weapons factories in East Prussia. Ingrid believes that as long as these supply bases are destroyed, the Eastern Front troops of the Bird Empire can be paralyzed."

"The second batch of targets," Yan Shuangying's finger moved on the map, "are railway hubs. They are preparing to cut off the supply lines of the Eastern Front troops. According to the plan, these bombers will take off from aircraft carriers in the North Sea, bypass the Baltic Sea, and raid directly. "

Sekt's expression became more and more solemn.

"Finally," Yan Shuangying raised his head, "They are also preparing to bomb several important headquarters. According to intelligence, Yinggeli has already mastered the specific locations of these headquarters."

He closed the map: "The entire operation is codenamed 'Thunder' and is expected to be completed within three days. If successful, the Eastern Front of the Bird Empire will suffer a heavy blow."

Sekt was silent. This information was not only extremely detailed, but also seemed to be very accurate. But he was more concerned about why Yan Shuangying told him this.

"Why did Director Yan share this information with me?" he finally asked.

"Share?" Yan Shuangying smiled, "I was just chatting with the envoy. As for the truth of this information, it's up to the envoy to judge for himself."

"This intelligence is so confidential," Seckt gently shook his teacup, "I'm afraid even most generals in the English military are not qualified to know it. Director Yan can even get this level of intelligence... To be honest, it's terrifying to think about it carefully."

"Special Envoy Sekt is overpraising you," Yan Shuangying said without hesitation, instead revealing a meaningful smile, "But since the special envoy mentioned this, I can tell you one thing."

He put down his teacup and looked Seckt in the eye: "There is no intelligence in this world that we cannot obtain. As long as I want, any confidential document can appear on my desk in the shortest time."

"Including our Byrd Empire?" Sekt asked tentatively.

"Of course," Yan Shuangying's tone remained gentle, but his eyes became sharper, "For example, the record of the secret meeting between Hitler and the General Staff three days ago, or... Berlin's latest strategic deployment plan."

Sekt's fingers stiffened slightly.

"You know what?" Yan Shuangying continued, "Sometimes I find it very interesting. When some people think they are playing a big game of chess, they don't realize that they are also a chess piece on the board."

These words were spoken lightly, but the threat contained in them was self-evident.

Seckt took a deep breath and said, "It seems that we have indeed underestimated China's intelligence capabilities."

"This is not important," Yan Shuangying smiled, "What is important is that the special envoy should now understand why I invited you to drink this cup of tea, right?"

Seckt looked at the mysterious intelligence chief in front of him and suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Sekt put down his teacup and said seriously: "This information is indeed very important to the Bird Empire. Thank you Director Yan for the gift."

"Gift?" Yan Shuangying chuckled, "The envoy's words are too serious. This is just a kind reminder."

He stood up and walked to the window: "China's position is simple. We hope to see the battle between the Anti-Will Alliance and the Will Alliance continue, rather than deciding the winner in the shortest possible time."

"I understand," Seckt nodded thoughtfully, "Maintaining a balance of power is in China's interest."

"The envoy is indeed smart," Yan Shuangying turned around, "and understood it immediately."

Seckt stood up and straightened his suit: "Then I won't bother Director Yan. This cup of tea today has benefited me a lot."

"Goodbye, Special Envoy," Yan Shuangying said with a smile, "I hope we can have more pleasant topics to talk about next time we meet."

Seckt smiled and turned to walk to the door. He knew that this conversation was far more complicated than it seemed. China was showing its strength in this way, which was both a warning and a bottom line.

And their ability to control intelligence from all parties at the same time and release it at the appropriate time is truly admirable.

Before walking out of the room, Seckt suddenly thought that this might be the real reason why China could maneuver easily among the great powers.

Because they always hold the most crucial bargaining chip - intelligence.
