"The power of string weapons is immense, capable of sweeping through an entire country in an instant, but they require high storage conditions. It's almost impossible to secretly transport enough string weapons to destroy a country without the other side noticing," Lin Yipei said.
"But..." At this point, Lin Yipei already understood what her brother wanted to say. She received, "Lu Bo's Atomic Disintegrator perfectly solves this problem. By building transmission and reception devices within the borders of both countries, string weapons can be transported smoothly, or even without the need for transportation at all. They can simply install a small device for the string to pass through, initiate the firing from one side, and let the string pass through the device to cause an explosion on the other side. This is simply unbelievable," Lin Yipei was shocked by her own idea.
"It's simply incredible, but Lu Bo's Atomic Disintegrator can indeed achieve it. Moreover, the leaders of both countries also think so," Du Bingwen took a sip of tea and changed the subject.
"However, the situation has not reached an irreversible point, and the two countries are not completely at odds. They won't come to blows until the last moment. Besides, the world is not limited to just these two countries. Other countries are content with the current balance between the two sides. If one side is destroyed, the other will dominate, and harmony will be disrupted. Moreover, when the city gate catches fire, it affects everyone. They don't want to get involved in such trouble."
"But isn't there an old saying about the snipe and the clam fighting, and the fisherman benefiting? Isn't there anyone hoping that they will fight and sit back and reap the benefits?" Lin Yipei raised her head, she really didn't like these open and secret struggles, it's too taxing on the brain.
Du Bingwen laughed, "Sister, which country has that kind of power now? A starving camel is bigger than a horse. Even if they end up hurting each other, there may not necessarily be a country that can take them down."
However, if such a situation really arises, there will definitely be people with vested interests, wanting to profit from the disaster. And where there's one such person, there will be a second. By then, the war will truly be uncontrollable, and no one, whether they want to act in their own self-interest or take a risky gamble, will be able to escape.
Of course, he wouldn't tell his sister these words. Du Bingwen couldn't help feeling that Yipei had really grown a lot over the years. He had almost forgotten what Yipei was like when she was young.
The crunching sound pulled Du Bingwen out of his wandering thoughts. He continued the previous topic, saying, "So, that's why I say this is a hot potato. Lu Bo is the actual and sole developer of this invention, holding unimaginable power. This puts him at the forefront of the world, and he must come up with a strategy; otherwise, he will be at the mercy of others. At the same time, the reason he dares to launch this invention is because he has the backing of the wealthy Zhou family. The Zhou family has influence in both the business and political sectors, and their strength should not be underestimated. With the Zhou family supporting him, his situation won't be too difficult."
"But," Du Bingwen changed the subject, saying, "Mr. Zhou is a shrewd businessman. He understands the many twists and turns involved. He knows the risks he will face if he supports Lu Bo, as well as the benefits he will gain if he bets correctly. In this difficult choice, he neither chooses to support Lu Bo nor to give up on the Atomic Disintegrator. Instead, he lets his son become the figurehead of the Atomic Disintegrator, not directly involved. He intervenes in this matter with an ambiguous attitude, participating but not too much. If the situation is unfavorable, he can immediately disassociate himself. Truly, a sly old fox."
"Lu Bo is really pitiful, with no one trustworthy by his side. People outside are plotting against him, and even his companions are not letting him off," Lin Yipei couldn't imagine how she would handle such a situation.
"Yeah, so pitiful, he's really pitiful," Du Bingwen couldn't help but murmur.
"Lu Bo doesn't want to lose the strong protection of the Zhou family. Compared to the governments of M country and our country, he actually leans more towards and trusts the Zhou family, even though he knows what Mr. Zhou is up to. So, by giving the press conference to Zhou Sheng today, he is actually showing his attitude to Mr. Zhou. Even if he doesn't get a firm choice from the Zhou family, he is willing to firmly choose the Zhou family."
"If he completely breaks with the Zhou family, he will be in a difficult position. So, he had Zhou Sheng step in, not only to show his attitude to Mr. Zhou, but also to emphasize his relationship with the Zhou family to the outside world, so that those who are watching closely dare not act rashly," Lin Yipei continued her brother's words, "Brother, am I right?"
"Yes," Du Bingwen looked approvingly at his sister and said, "But this is just a temporary measure. The Zhou family may temporarily protect him due to friendship and great benefits, but those with ulterior motives will not give up easily. Mr. Zhou will soon find himself standing against whom, and his ambiguous attitude will change. At that time, Lu Bo is very likely to become a pawn. By then, even if Zhou Sheng wants to help him, he will be powerless. So, he will face a dead end, either compromise and hand over the technology, or face the siege of many forces. Now he is a young talent, a rare genius, but in the future, he may become the great threat to human safety in the mouths of many, a monster who violates human ethics. He seems to be in the limelight now, but in reality, he has no way out and will soon become a fish to be slaughtered. He must find a way out for himself, and Mr. Xia is the opportunity."
"But why does Mr. Xia want to get involved in this mess?" Lin Yipei asked. She no longer wanted to hear about the turbulent waves caused by these tricks, and could only quietly change the topic, while secretly grabbing a piece of green bean cake.
"I don't know about that. But it seems that Mr. Xia has known him for a long time," Du Bingwen shrugged, his face calming down, returning to that gentle and elegant demeanor.
"Brother, I have another question," Lin Yipei, with a mouthful of green bean cake, said unclearly.
"Oh?" Du Bingwen didn't expect his sister to take the initiative to ask a question.
To his surprise, Lin Yipei then asked, "Brother, how do you know so much about his matters?"
This is really a problem that Du Bingwen didn't expect. When he lowered his head, he met Lin Yipei's bright eyes, full of curiosity.
He was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say that they had known each other for a long time, but he couldn't forget her for many years while she didn't remember anything. So he casually lied, "I used to handle a case related to him when I was a police officer, and I did some investigation."
Lin Yipei knew he was lying. How long had he been a police officer? How could he coincidentally investigate Lu Bo in such detail? Those who didn't know might think he had a secret crush on Lu Bo, knowing so much about him and analyzing his situation in such detail. However, she didn't care about her brother's thoughts and instead picked up a piece of lotus seed pastry and started gobbling it up.
"I don't know if he found Mr. Xia or not," Du Bingwen looked in the direction of the Xia family, lost in thought.
