Chapter 666 The Art of War
At twelve o'clock at midnight, on a distant road in a small town north of Kit Carson City, Colorado, an SUV slowly parked on the side of the road.
“The nuclear warhead is not with Captain Joslay and his friends?”
In the car, Chenille and Lacey all turned their gazes to Luo An, a little confused:
“What does this mean?”
Luo An put his chin on his hand and said:
“Based on the clues we have available, we can analyze that the man behind the murder of treasure hunter Mateo is most likely Second Lieutenant Sobian, and his real goal is to find the nuclear warhead.”
“That’s right.”
Lacie nodded repeatedly:
“I just haven’t figured out what Sobian is going to do with the nuclear warhead.”
“This can be discussed and investigated later.”
Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
“Let’s look at a question first, why did Sobian kill Mateo?”
Winslow and Michelle frowned slightly, and Lacey subconsciously replied:
Cheniel, who was frowning, thought for a few seconds, then suddenly raised her head and slapped her face:
“The real reason Sobian killed Mateo was because he didn’t want Josrae and the others to know where the nuclear warhead was hidden!”
“No, that’s not the case.”
“From Sobian’s perspective, after Mateo revealed the real address where the nuclear warhead was hidden, he became useless and naturally wanted to kill him.”
Hearing the idiom translation behind Michelle, Winslow's eyes lit up and he understood what Roan meant, and Lacey quickly turned around:
“Maiteo is dead. Qiao Si Lei wants to find the nuclear warhead and hunt down Sobian. He can only follow the clues left by Sobian, that is, chase them.
“That’s right.”
Luo An nodded. In addition to the rational analysis of Matteo's death and Cheniel's kidnapping, the "emotional perception" in his mind was also one of the supports for making this inference.
Lacie turned her head:
Chenelle shook her head, turned her gaze to Luo An, and said:
“What Luo An means is that the reason Sobian killed Mateo was because he wanted Josrei and others to keep an eye on him! Killing people can deepen this trust and judgment!”
"If Sobian knows that Joslay and others are after him, then after getting the true hidden location of the nuclear warhead, in order to successfully obtain the nuclear warhead without being caught by Joslay and others, the best way is to pretend to be a An illusion!"
But in fact, this group of people is a bait, just to lure Qiao Si Lei and the group of trackers to follow. In fact, there are no nuclear warheads in this area at all.
Building plank roads openly, concealing Chencang, making noises in the east and attacking in the west, The Art of War! "
Roan patted Chenelle on the shoulder and explained to Winslow and Lacey, who were still confused:
“Sobian killed Mateo, acted like he had obtained the hidden location of the nuclear warhead, and took people to the specific location.
The book itself comes from the East, but all major military academies in the Federation have listed it as one of the required courses.
The real Sobian has taken people to another direction, where the real location of the nuclear warhead is!
Michelle next to him also reacted at this time and suddenly realized:
Even the cumulative sales of this book ranks among the top 20 in the Western world. MBA training also lists this book as an important subject for learning corporate strategy.
“That’s right.”
“Don’t you mean the same thing as what I said?
Matteo was killed, so naturally Joslay and others were unable to find the location where the nuclear warhead was hidden. "
"The Art of War", literally translated as "The Art of War", the actual meaning is "Sun Tzu's Art of War".
But these clues were deliberately left by Sobian, they are all illusions! "
When he arrested Wilfrid, the mercenary carrying the nuclear warhead, the "emotional perception" in Luo An's mind never sent out a strong warning signal.
The "emotional perception" that usually gets excited when encountering grenades, but today it didn't fluctuate much when encountering a nuclear warhead, made Luo An wonder if the "emotional perception" was broken.
When laying out the minefield, the "emotional perception" started to remind frantically again, warning Luo An of the danger, and also letting Luo An confirm again that there was no problem with it.
So when leading Chenelle and Lacey to evacuate just now, Roan deliberately let Winslow pass by the road not far from the side of the farm. As a result, the fluctuations in "emotional perception" were very small. When you encounter a pile of landmines, your "emotional perception" reminds you wildly; when you encounter a nuclear warhead with an impact area thousands of times larger than the landmines and an explosion effect tens of thousands of times more terrifying, your "emotional perception" fluctuates very little.
Luo An could only come to one conclusion in the end: there were no real nuclear warheads on that farm, and the danger determined by "emotional perception" was those of the security company.
After a few seconds of silence, Lacey suddenly grinned:
“I can now guess why Sobian is dissatisfied.”
?)
A few people looked at her in confusion. Lacey smiled and said:
“This kind of strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west can’t even be seen by the captain Qiao Si Lei. It’s no wonder that the second lieutenant Sobian is dissatisfied with him.”
“Promotion in the federal army does not necessarily depend on strength.”
Winslow chuckled and said:
“Sometimes Franklin, or a minister relative, is more useful.”
Lacie grinned:
“So true.”
Michelle thought for a while and said:
“Actually, it’s not necessarily that Qiao Si Lei is incompetent. If we take a look at his perspective, we can see that he actually has no choice.
Because he was a step too late, Mateo was killed, leaving him with no clues.
The best way to find Sobian is to first follow the clues arranged by Sobian, then catch Sobian's men in the process, force the men to ask for the true location, and finally find and arrest Sobian. "
Lacie blinked:
"I can only follow the enemy's arrangements. Isn't this still a lack of ability?"
…”
Michelle opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute for a moment.
Luo An gently patted Lacey’s arm and said in a deep voice:
“There is no need to discuss Captain Joslay’s matter. Our first goal is to find the nuclear warhead.”
As he spoke, Luo An took a map again, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then ordered:
"Winslow, you can stay in this area later and observe Captain Joe Slay and the battle on the farm from a distance. Don't get close."
This is mainly done just in case, and to keep an eye on the movements behind Captain Joslay and others.
"clear."
Winslow nodded, and Roan then said to Chenelle, Michelle and Lacey:
“You three come with me and we’ll head over to Texas.”
Mercenary Wilfrido said before that it was suspected that Mateo's secret base was located in a certain area in western Texas.
“OK.”
The three women nodded in agreement, and Luo An pressed the communicator and asked Mona to help them contact the helicopter and car.
The group of people acted according to the plan. Winslow returned first and left, and the four of Luo An began waiting for the helicopter to arrive.
Because they were too tired, Chenelle and Lacey closed their eyes and took a nap together. Michelle helped them make instant food. Roan stood aside, pondering for a long time, took out his mobile phone and found a number to call.
The call was quickly connected, and a seductive female voice sounded on the phone:
“Good evening, Team Leader Luo An, have you figured it out?”
“This sentence seems inappropriate to come from a woman’s mouth.”
?)
Luo An smiled and got to the point and said:
“I want to ask you a favor. I need to talk to your father.”
