Chapter 22: Agents from Another Country?

Chapter 22 Agents from Another Country

Doug Jones chatted with the person in charge for a long time in the room.

Apart from the research results, they also discussed the research funding.

Doug Jones also took the opportunity to make the person in charge agree to add tens of billions of dollars in research funding.

After that, they said goodbye to each other.

After Doug Jones left, the person in charge of the Mars Project frowned and went to his desk.

He picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number.

“Ask General Wellington to come to my office!”

“Yes, sir!”

After hanging up the phone, the person in charge opened the drawer, took out a confidential document and read it carefully.

It was two o’clock in the morning.

About half an hour later, someone knocked the door.

“Please come in.”

The person in charge put down the document in his hand and looked at the door.

A soldier in his thirties walked in. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a very steep nose.

He saluted the person in charge.

“Minister West!”

“Sit.”

West motioned for Wellington to sit down.

Wellington sat in the same position as Doug Jones.

“Why do you call me? Did something happen? Or is there an urgent mission?”

He was very nervous. Something extremely important must have happened, otherwise the minister wouldn’t find him so late.

He had a feeling that something was going to happen.

West did not answer. He stared at the flag in front of him as if he was thinking about something.

After two minutes, he made up his mind and raised his head.

“Not long ago, I received a piece of intelligence. A foreign spy ring has secretly infiltrated our country and is trying to steal a confidential document from us.”

Listening to West’s words, Wellington was very puzzled.

This kind of spy ring had nothing to do with a soldier like him. Why did the minister tell him such a thing?

West saw Wellington’s confusion. He thought for a moment and said, “Because there is a top mission to give you. This is also approved by the president. It’s kind of a direct order of the president.”

Hearing that it was an order from the president, Wellington was instantly energized and no longer sleepy.

At the same time, his heart skipped a beat.

He knew that this mission was definitely important. Otherwise, West would not have told him so solemnly.

This was not an ordinary intelligence. Perhaps he was called to be here because of the special intelligence.

An intelligence mission should be solved by soldiers.

That could be tied to the existence of the country, because soldiers’ mission was protecting the country.

It was not difficult to understand why West would be so serious.

West saw Wellington’s serious expression. In order to lighten the atmosphere, he smiled and patted Wellington’s shoulder.

“Don’t feel too much pressure. You’re not the only one here.”

To be honest, Wellington’s forehead was full of sweat.

It was not because his mental strength wasn’t great enough.

If another man sat here, he might have fallen to the ground already in the face of such pressure.

The person who shouldered the responsibility of a country’s fate must have intolerable pressure.

Seeing that Wellington was ready to get the mission, West said to the door, “Let’s start.”

From the moment he said that, hundreds of people went into the room.

They rushed into at the same time and there were no traces of their existence before.

Then they began to scan the room for any surveillance equipment or suspicious people that might appear.

At the same time, an agent plane came in and began to conduct a full-body search on Wellington.

With Wellington’s military rank, no one had searched him for many years.

But this time, he also knew that it was a really important mission.

After making sure that he did not have any bugs or recording equipment, the agent retreated.

From now on, the area within 500 meters of this room was an absolutely restricted area.

No one could get close to it.

West took out a secret document from the safe and handed it to Wellington.

The words “Top Secret, No Reading!” were written on the cover of the document.

However, after receiving the minister’s permission, Wellington opened the document.

Then, he carefully read every word on the document, afraid of missing something.

West waited quietly by the side without urging him.

Wellington spent nearly an hour reading all contents of the document.

He was shocked after reading the document.

This was definitely top secret.

Moreover, this might be the most important one among top secrets.

It was an urgent matter on humans’ life and death, or the future of mankind.

“I have already knew about it, but what do you need me to do?”

Wellington sat up straight and his expression was extremely serious.

West stood up and looked at the dark night through the window. There was no end in the darkness.

He took a deep breath, “As I said before, there are agents from other countries who secretly infiltrated our country for the sake of Mars. You have also understood his importance. This is not a trivial matter. There is also a new article that has not been written in the archives. That is, a new material has been discovered from his manuscript. Once this material is produced, it will greatly improve our technology. At least on Earth, we will not have any enemies.”

“Now, do you understand what I’m saying?”

“I understand!”

Wellington gave West a solemn military salute.

His other hand clenched into a fist.

If all of this was true, then the talented person would be an army that surpassed everything else.

No one knew how much technologies he had.

If the top talent wasn’t in this country, the person could easily raise other countries’ technology to the highest level on earth.

This was terrifying.

Wellington thought to himself.

The talent absolutely couldn’t be found by other countries, because it would be terrible if the telant was an enemy of this country!
