Chapter 763 - Bait (1/2)
As soon as the Pentagon had arrived at a decision, Han Tianyu's spies that were placed inside the Pentagon relayed information back to China. Similarly, as soon as Han Tianyu obtained the intel, he contacted Jiang Fei.
"Alright. You should take control now. When the time is right, start with Phase two!" said Jiang Fei.
"Will do," said Han Tianyu before he hung up and got busy.
Jiang Fei looked up into the sky and saw the sun coming up from the horizon. Due to 0541's camouflage barrier, none of Jiang Fei's group members were spotted. On the other hand, all other sects that went their own ways were spotted easily.
They were infiltrating the Mutant's frontal military base. It was only natural that the site would be heavily secured and placed under tight surveillance. With powerful optical satellites and high-speed surveillance drones patrolling around, they were able to detect even the slightest movement, down to the cats and dogs. How could they miss such a large group of martial artists coming from the sea and into their lands?
The martial artists were a relic of the past. Due to their lack of interaction to the outside world, those fools did not know the true power of satellites and surveillance drones. Their mistake was to enter the forest, thinking that they could escape human sight. It was better for them if they had tried to infiltrate the public and blend in with the crowd. Although most of the country was destroyed, there were still many parts of the archipelago that were still unscratched from the recent war. Even though the Chinese and Japanese citizens had different core values, they shared similar appearances. Finding and detecting them in a massive crowd would be harder!
Alas, a frog in the well will not know of the ocean. They had chosen to hide in the forest like their forefathers did and got themselves discovered by the enemy.
"The Mutant's Naval force should be rattled by now…" said Jiang Fei to himself as he began to strategize his next move. It was part of his plan to "allow" the other martial artists get caught. There was nothing Jiang Fei could do. If they had chosen to follow Jiang Fei, they would not have been discovered. Sadly, due to their arrogance and pride, the other martial artists would not cooperate with the military men, or what they would refer to as normal humans. Jiang Fei had to include that factor in his plans. Their role was not revealed to anyone as it was not… nice. Jiang Fei had used them as bait to lure out the Mutants!
Just as expected, the Mutant's Naval forces had detected more than hundred of people hiding in the forest. At first, they did not pay attention to them since there were cases where the locals headed into the forest to scavenge for food. However, the Mutants followed protocol and zoomed into the picture, only to find martial artists carrying weapons. Weapons aside, the presence of martial artists in Japanese lands was a good enough reason to be alert.
As soon as the situation escalated, the Naval fleet quickly relayed that information to the Mutant Brotherhood.
However, the information did not reach the ears of the higher members of the Mutant Brotherhood. The reason was simple. The other members of Mutants Brotherhood had only just exited the Pentagon. It was early in the morning in Japan, but it was close to midnight in America. The meeting had taken place in the evening and through the night.
Once the meeting was over, the core members of the Mutant Brotherhood had started preparations for war. Hence, the news of martial artists appearing in Japan was placed secondary.
Once the Pentagon had approved of declaring war with China, the Mutant's Naval fleet moved in closer. The fleet that was in the Pacific Ocean sailed across Japanese's waters and very close to China's border. Meanwhile, the fleet in the Atlantic Ocean moved on further and passed through the Indian Ocean and into the Southern Ocean.
The Mutants had moved their troops, showing the world that they were ready to bring the rain. However, they did not know what they were expecting!
Jiang Fei lingered in the same exact spot until nightfall. Concurrently, it was 9am in America. The Mutants had declared war on China on the basis that China had used alien technology to produce weapons of mass destruction. Their "actions" were deemed as dangerous to the world order and must be rectified. As such, the Mutants, with the backing of the American government, demanded that China publicly release information about the 17 top secret military bases that were conducting the illicit experiments involving alien tech. China must also allow other nations to investigate their military bases!
As a response, China blatantly denied the claims. Han Tianyu aside, even the officers in the command building would not sit by and allow other nations to humiliate them to such extent! To allow other nationals to come in and investigate their military bases was akin to a man being stripped butt-naked for an inspection! Not even Singapore would allow their nation to be humiliated!
