The technological competition starts with the integration of space-time memory

Chapter 233 The Rabbit is Too Cunning
Upon hearing Michelle Brick's request, Blue Grain Director William Heigl felt quite emotional.

Ever since the battle with Li Tang, Lan Li has suffered repeated defeats in the field of intelligence, which is his specialty.

After repeated analysis and review and visiting some experts, William Heigl came to a very uncomfortable conclusion.

When asked by the military at this moment, William Heigl decided to share this conclusion with everyone.

He coughed lightly and sorted out his thoughts a little.

Then he said, "General Brick, I personally believe that the reason why Li Tang was able to obtain the information about the Law Enforcement Ship No. 711 is related to the artificial intelligence he possesses.

I think everyone should know that we have 'Prism', so we have access to a huge amount of electronic information in the world.

However, due to the huge amount of information, we are unable to effectively analyze the application.

Sometimes we are even deceived by the Strategic Propaganda Bureau over there with a lot of false information.

But Li Tang doesn't have this problem, his artificial intelligence can definitely monitor the entire Internet!
I have consulted experts, and they say that artificial intelligence is very good at capturing truly useful information from massive amounts of information.

Recently, Li Tang's [Mengying] platform has developed too fast. Almost every adult in the empire has an account. It is not difficult for artificial intelligence to find crew member No. 711 and their families.

I believe that artificial intelligence must be given top priority in our scientific and technological research projects.

Within the Empire and its allies, we must fully support Sora in his fight against Dream Shadow! "

Director Duke of Ai Fu Bi Ai once again did not contradict William, but instead strongly agreed: "Director Heiger is right, we should also expand the restriction bill on TT to [Dream Shadow].

This platform is more terrifying than TT. Not only does it suck away a large amount of funds from our country without supervision, it is also completely out of our control.

It has seriously endangered the national security of the empire and must be banned!"

At this time, Loren suddenly tapped the table lightly and said, "My suggestion is that it must pay us a minimum of 15% international business tax!

If you refuse to pay taxes, we can join forces with our allies to impose a fine on the Future Technology Institute that is twice the amount of taxes paid.

I think all countries should become our allies in this matter.”

Loren's words instantly reminded everyone present that the daily income of the [Mengying] platform is at least over 100 billion dragon coins!

If taxes are paid according to income, it would be 150 billion dragon coins per day, 4500 billion dragon coins per month. Based on the exchange rate of 1:6.5 between Tolo and Dragon Coin, it would be nearly 700 billion Tolo. The tax levied at 15% would be 105 billion Tolo.

Everyone's eyes instantly turned red. If all this tax money went into the empire's pocket, it would be enough to support the empire even if it went to war every month!

We all know that high-tech can make money. Just look at the five largest technology companies in the past: Apple, SoftBank, Google, Metadata, and Amazon. Their annual revenues are nearly 15000 trillion.

Now Li Tang's [Mengying] is even more terrifying, just calculating for it, the annual revenue is at least more than 8400 billion.

This does not include the revenue of other companies under Li Tang. From this perspective, Li Tang is indeed comparable to a country.

The size of his business empire has already ranked among the top five in the world's GDP rankings!
For Loren, who is extremely short of money now, she has already sharpened her knife against her own multinational company and is ready to collect a 15% international business tax.

How could I just sit there and watch Dream Shadow?
The old man on the main seat made the final decision, "Loren, set off to visit the major allies as soon as possible and tell them that we will hunt down Li Tang's [Dream Shadow] together, and the benefits will be distributed according to the amount of effort."

Loren nodded and said, "As you wish."

Firwin turned to Michelle Brick and said, "You'd better retrieve the 711 and its crew as soon as possible. I suspect that something else may happen later."

"That's no problem. As long as the Red Star Security really escorts No. 711 to the Lusong government, we will send those guys back home as quickly as possible."

William Heigl frowned and said, "Fierwen, can you play the live news video again? The last part."

Firwin looked at William in surprise and replayed the video.

"...We will hand over the people and the ship to the nearest local government... Well, the nearest one should be Beilusong..."

"Stop!" When he saw this, William Heigl suddenly shouted to stop.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, William said, "Did you hear what the leader of Red Star Security said?

He said to hand over the people and boats to the nearest local government, which is North Luzon! ”

Michelle Brick's face suddenly changed, "Damn it, he doesn't want to hand over the people and the ship to that people's military government, does he?
Jejomar Sison has announced the establishment of the Luçon People's Government in North Luçon!" William nodded and said, "That's what he meant, but the captain of the 711 didn't know that a huge change had taken place in North Luçon at the time."

Michelle Brick suddenly sneered, "They are indeed related to the North Lusong incident! Okay, then let's deal with them together this time!"

William said: “General Brick, since many of our bases in Africa were destroyed, we have restored some of them with the assistance of the special forces sent by you.

Based on the current situation, I adjusted the distribution of strongholds, cancelled some old ones and established some new ones.

Our newly built base in the Nigerian Federation in Africa quickly sent back news that Red Star Security had a branch there.

According to their preliminary investigation results, the personnel are basically veterans, and their weapons and equipment are active equipment over there, which is enough to prove that they were sent from there.

Therefore, the well-equipped security team in this video is actually the soldiers sent over there to protect Li Tang’s cargo ship.”

Michel's face turned serious, this interception operation was originally planned by him, intending to test the background of those so-called freighters.

Unexpectedly, their underwear was exposed to people all over the world.

Now that he knew that the so-called Red Star Security were the soldiers over there, he was also glad that the USS Rhode Island Aegis missile destroyer did not take any follow-up actions.

If an anti-ship missile is really launched, regardless of whether it can sink the opponent's so-called freighter, it may trigger a conflict in the Bass Strait.

Michel had no doubt that fighter planes visited the other side of the Bass Strait every day and would never allow their own destroyer to open fire and leave calmly.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what the general said when he urgently contacted him that day: "We respect the choice of the people of Lusong, but we will never sit idly by and watch that sea area fall into war and affect the safety of international routes!"

He hadn't thought of this at the time. So the last sentence was about intercepting Li Tang's cargo ship?
What if the "Jordi Hill" Aegis missile destroyer really launched an anti-ship missile and sank one of the freighters?

Even if the freighter was flying the flag of the Sonan Kingdom, the other side could use air force fighter jets to attack the "Rhodishan" Aegis missile destroyer in the name of defending the safety of international routes.

No, this is intentional, right?

Escorting under the name of Red Star Security, they took great pains to disguise the amphibious assault ship as a cargo ship, using Li Tang's cargo as bait to lure the imperial military into taking action.

Then they could send their naval and air forces to openly blockade the Bass Strait and provide strong support to the People's Army in Northern Luson.

The rabbit is so cunning!
He actually took advantage of his own eagerness to deal with Li Tang and set up such a trap.

He also labeled his own coast guard as pirates!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this way, and suddenly Michelle felt some sweat on his back.

Looking up and seeing William Heigl's concerned eyes, he quickly asked: "Have you Lanli's base in Lusong been restored?
Can you investigate the truth behind President Ferdinand's assassination?

I must now know to what extent they are involved in Lu Song’s affairs!
This is very important for the upcoming operations Freedom's Fury and Defend Freedom. We cannot fight without intelligence."

William Heigl said: "Mani Wax's stronghold was recovered six days ago. Lanli lost 27 people here before.

It was also because of this reason that we were unable to provide early warning about Lu Song’s incident this time.

I have sent 16 more experts in various fields, and you have sent a 20-man special operations team."

Michel nodded and said, “Okay, infiltrate Northern Lusong as soon as possible and find out the true details of the People’s Army.

I can only give you three days. 'Freedom's Wrath' is an air strike operation. The People's Army has no air force, so it is not a big problem.

But Defending Freedom is a ground operation, and we are responsible for more than 3600 Imperial troops.

Also, can your people come forward publicly and contact the People's Army to ask when the more than 2000 imperial soldiers held hostage by them will be released? "

When Firwin heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "That's right, they have detained our personnel as hostages. This is a KBist act. We must condemn it and demand that they release the hostages unconditionally."

The old man in the main seat suddenly coughed a few times. "Fierwen, you are responsible for holding the press conference. That's all for today."

Director Duke sighed, seeming to want to say something else.

Loren ran the fastest because she had to catch a plane for a quick shuttle visit to ensure that her money-grabbing...er, reasonable taxation plan would gain support from more allies.

The rest of the people also dispersed.
