Chapter 267 Cooperation Achieved
Lin Fan's few words
And once again, the other side was left speechless.
Is this why we can't have a proper conversation?
Is this like rubbing salt into someone's heart?
The communicator, whose indicator light was flashing continuously, fell completely silent.
Seeing this, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and he continued speaking without any regard for the feelings of the person opposite him:
"In addition, we detected that at least seven nuclear power plants are shut down and twelve are completely out of contact, making it impossible to determine their status."
As for the ones you can confirm are still operational... I'd guess no more than five?
silence.
Remain silent.
And then there was a long period of silence.
Just as Lin Fan was about to hang up, another male voice came from the other end.
"Mr. Lin, the intelligence you have... is even more detailed than ours."
"Of course," Lin Fan said without any modesty. "I wasn't staying in the cave."
Satire.
A blatant satire.
This is absolutely inhuman, isn't it?
Lin Fan's words were practically a direct attack, saying that you high-ranking officials hiding in Xia Yan Mountain know nothing about the situation outside, so what are you talking about with me?
Harrison, who was on the other end of the communicator, clearly understood the implied meaning.
He was silent for a few seconds, then spoke, his voice much lower than before.
"Mr. Lin, regarding the conditions you proposed last time... we've come up with a preliminary plan."
"I'm all ears," Lin Fan said calmly.
"We agree in principle to both the supplies and personnel requirements. The specific list and allocation methods can be discussed in detail later."
"Okay, continue."
"We can provide the coordinates of the nuclear power plants. We have the precise locations and the latest status information for all fifty-four commercial nuclear power plants."
"Then what?"
Harrison paused for a moment.
"The location of nuclear weapons storage..."
Lin Fan waited, not in a hurry to speak.
"...We can provide a portion."
The location of the nuclear weapons depot within the out-of-control area has been confirmed, and we can share that information.
However, nuclear weapons facilities still under our control are not included in the sharing scope for the time being.
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows.
interesting.
Last time they refused outright, but this time they're willing to give "a portion".
Can I give them all next time?
Indeed, when faced with dire straits, a person's bottom line becomes as unyielding as a rubber band.
Since it's like a rubber band, Lin Fan doesn't mind stretching it a bit more.
"Mr. Harrison, is that right?"
"Please speak."
"You mean 'nuclear weapons facilities still under your control'? Are you sure you really still have control over them?"
To be honest, Lin Fan's question was like a knife, precisely stabbing them in their most painful spot.
They do control those nuclear facilities, but they don't have the authority to start them or go inside.
It's fair to say that those things are just decorations for them now.
There was another suffocating silence on the other end of the communication line.
Seeing this, Lin Fan did not press the matter, but he also did not give the other party much time to think, simply adding a casual remark.
"You can think about it some more. Anyway, I've already said I'm not in a hurry."
He gestured to Mark.
Communication was not interrupted.
But Lin Fan remained silent.
He just leaned back in his chair and waited.
Soon, a low, hurried discussion could be heard from the other end of the communication line.
Lin Fan picked up the bottle of water on the table, unscrewed the cap, and slowly took a sip.
Lin Jianguo stood in the corner, watching his son's behavior, and his lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
He's starting to have some doubts now.
I'm suspicious of this kid.
Is he even my biological son? He seems even more heartless than his father.
Time passed slowly, but not long after, about three minutes later, Harrison's voice rang out again.
"Mr. Lin."
"explain."
"The locations of all nuclear weapons facilities... we can provide."
He spoke calmly, but Lin Fan could imagine how distorted the other person's face must have been in the conference room on the other end of the communication line.
But what can you do if you're unwilling to accept it?
"But I have one condition," Harrison continued.
"explain."
"We need you to send people to assist in inspecting and stabilizing those nuclear power plants that are in a dangerous state."
You have the technology, you have the manpower, and you have the protective capabilities of a spore defense line. You are better positioned than we are to do this.
Lin Fan almost burst out laughing.
These people actually took the initiative to package what he wanted to do most into a "condition" and presented it to him.
He wants to go to a nuclear power plant?
Of course I want to go.
But his purpose in going there was not some kind of "stability".
He went there to eat.
However, of course, this cannot be said.
Lin Fan suppressed the smile on his lips, his tone calm: "Okay. I accept this condition."
"So..."
"However," Lin Fan interrupted Harrison, "I also have an additional condition."
"you say."
"Information about nuclear facilities should be sent to me within 24 hours."
Complete, without omissions. If I later discover that you've hidden even a single location…
He paused for a moment.
"Then our cooperation ends here. And I will make sure you can never contact me again, not even in Cheyenne Mountain where you are..."
Lin Fan didn't continue speaking, but his meaning was already self-evident.
He believed that none of the people on the other side who could become high-ranking officials in the government were fools.
After a brief silence on the other end of the communication line.
"...24 hours. No problem."
"Very good." Lin Fan nodded. "Then... I wish you good luck."
After he finished speaking, he nodded to Mark.
Communication was cut off.
The command center fell silent.
Mark looked at Lin Fan, his Adam's apple bobbing, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know where to begin.
Lin Fan stood up and stretched.
"mark."
"Yes, boss."
"Give me their data as soon as it arrives. I need a separate copy of the coordinates for all nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons depots."
"clear."
