Undoubtedly, the main theme of this conference was a vigorous plan by the radical faction, represented by Huang Ke, to overthrow Duterte.
Perhaps this wasn't an action spearheaded by Huang Ke, but without Huang Ke, this trend would never have become mainstream.
Do you really think Ducato has been around on Earth for nothing all these years?
The car slowly pulled up in front of the North Star Auditorium.
The long red carpet stretched all the way to the location of the chauffeured cars.
Huang Ke was the first to get out of the car and walk onto the red carpet.
Scientists from the North Star Aerospace Industry Group followed closely behind.
On both sides of the red carpet, the soldiers looked at Huang Ke and the others with utmost respect.
After the Liangshan exercise, most soldiers understood that, against the backdrop of an impending alien invasion, the North Star Aerospace Industry Group had become the backbone of the nation and its people.
Huang Ke didn't have any particular feelings.
The three scientists, however, were all moved to tears.
With a brisk pace, Huang Ke entered the North Star Auditorium and sat in the first row.
Compared to the previous time when he was seated on the edge of the first row, this time Huang Ke's seat is almost in the very center.
In contrast, Dukao's position was at the far side of the first row.
Ducao arrived early and was already seated.
Huang Ke passed by Dukao and saw that Dukao's face was ashen, but Huang Ke didn't even glance at Dukao.
Dukao glanced at Huang Ke as he sat down, his face turning from pale to red.
Were we ignored?
Dukao had imagined many scenarios of meeting Huang Ke, but he never imagined that Huang Ke would not even glance at him.
Dukao took a deep breath and kept reminding himself.
calm.
必须冷静。
Never let your emotions control you.
The Deno descendants are now unable to leave Earth.
The composure he had cultivated over the millennia had worn away much of the spirit of this warmonger.
If it were a thousand years ago, Dukao would have disregarded everything and launched a god-slaying operation against Huang Ke, even at the cost of mutual destruction.
Ducao unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle in front of him, took a big gulp, and then closed his eyes to rest.
Sitting next to Huang Ke was one of the heads of the top ten military industries, or rather, the entire middle position in the first row was occupied by the heads of the top ten military industries.
This is enough to demonstrate the influence of the equipment developed by North Star Aerospace Industry Group.
Even the heads of the ten military industrial companies that were contracted to Huang Ke had their seats arranged to face the center.
"President Huang, as expected of you, ignoring Ducao must have infuriated that old geezer."
"President Huang is simply a role model for us. Without him, we would probably have to rely on Ducati to survive."
The heads of the top ten military industries all admired Huang Ke.
Controlling military industrial enterprises, they are acutely aware of the terrifying generational gap between weapons.
"Ducao? I didn't do anything to him."
Huang Ke shook his head and shrugged.
Everyone thought he was going to target Dukao today, but no one expected that Huang Ke would say a few words in Dukao's defense during the summary report later.
However, the heads of the ten major military industries clearly misunderstood Huang Ke's meaning and smiled with satisfaction.
"Brilliant! As expected of General Manager Huang, truly brilliant!"
"Mr. Huang is young and promising, and we need to learn from him."
While responding to Huang Ke, they would occasionally glance at Dukao.
To them, Huang Ke was clearly being sarcastic or sarcastic towards Ducão.
Chapter 52 Is Dukao out of his mind?
(P.S.: Chapter 51 is temporarily blocked due to review; it should be unblocked during the day.)
After exchanging a few compliments with the top ten leaders, Huang Ke sat quietly in his seat, waiting for the meeting to begin.
Huang Ke didn't have to wait long; the current environment requires all cumbersome procedures to be simplified.
The meeting officially began shortly afterward.
It was still Mr. Huang who chaired the meeting.
"The results of the Liangshan exercise are now clear. Next, please let Huang Ke, the commander of the Blue Team, give a summary report."
At Mr. Huang's prompting, Huang Ke first stood up, turned around and greeted everyone.
He then sat down again and adjusted the microphone in front of him.
"Thank you all for listening to this summary report. Next, I will give a working report on the details of the exercise from the perspective of the Blue Team."
"First of all, as a Blue Team commander, I feel very honored that the Blue Team achieved the final victory in this exercise."
"But as a human being, I can't help but worry about the outcome of the exercise..."
Huang Ke's approach was almost exactly as Ducao had predicted.
The entire process of the exercise was described in detail, and the tactical arrangements of both the red and blue teams were summarized.
"From a comprehensive perspective after the exercise, I believe that the Red Team, as the defender of the human faction, had a rigorous plan and a clear and effective strategy in the initial deployment phase."
Huang Ke did not forget his plan.
We cannot push Dukao too far. We must ensure that Dukao cannot encroach on the sovereignty of Earth's civilization, but we must also ensure that Dukao will not resort to desperate measures and lead the Deno people to withdraw directly from Earth.
As for the reason?
It's not that Huang Ke wants to squeeze every last drop of value out of the Denuo people in order to help protect the Earth.
But...
Ducao has depleted the Earth's dark metal resources!
They're all hidden!
If Dukao runs away, these resources that originally belonged to Earth will be taken away by the Deno people on their wandering journey.
These are Earth's resources!
Huang Ke must not allow resources to be lost.
At the same time, Dukao frowned slightly.
He couldn't understand what Huang Ke was up to.
Speaking up for themselves? Leaving a way out for Project Black Wall?
Huang Ke doesn't seem like that kind of person.
Unable to figure it out on his own, Dukao immediately contacted the think tank of the Deno civilization through clandestine communication.
Lianfeng and Yuqin were both secretly communicating.
"What do you think? Why did Huang Ke suddenly change his attitude towards the Deno civilization?"
Dukao raised his doubts.
Lianfeng immediately replied, "After analysis, we have come to two possibilities."
"First, we have obtained evidence of Huang Ke's collusion with the Angelic Civilization. If we bring this up in the meeting, it would undoubtedly be a betrayal of Huang Ke by those who sit in the radical faction."
"Secondly, based on Huang Ke's original stance, he maintained his aversion to all non-Earth genetic life. Theoretically speaking, he should not have engaged in deep cooperation with the Angel Civilization."
"But it turns out that he has already cooperated with the angels in some sense. This either means that Huang Ke has changed his mind, or that Huang Ke has been attacked by high-level dark information and his thinking has been tampered with."
All of Lianfeng's analyses came from the data collected by Deno III.
Theoretically speaking, this analysis is very accurate.
Unfortunately, the Deno people seemed to have overestimated Huang Ke, dissecting his way of thinking according to the model of the main god of civilization.
Huang Ke hadn't thought that far ahead at all.
There was only one thing that Huang Ke truly cared about.
Earth's civilizational sovereignty includes resource sovereignty!
The reason Huang Ke reassured Dukao ultimately stemmed from the dark metal deposits stolen by the Deno people.
Of course, Huang Ke does not deny that the existence of the Deno people is beneficial to Earth's current defense efforts.
"I tend to think the first one is right. Huang Ke is a self-interested person whose way of thinking is almost identical to that of the gods of advanced civilizations. Rather than fighting to the death with us, it would be better for each of us to compromise. This is the solution that maximizes his interests."
Lianfeng conducted further analysis and offered her own speculation.
Dukao pondered for a long time before instructing Lianfeng, "Prepare a new draft for me, and remove the parts that attack Huang Ke."
Dukao recalled Huang Ke's remarks before the meeting began.
I subconsciously thought that Huang Ke was actively extending goodwill.
It seems that Huang Ke wants to take this opportunity to reach some kind of reconciliation with himself.
Dukao shifted his attention from the coded communications back to Huang Ke's speech.
"Furthermore, the real reason that reversed the course of the battle was the hidden, devastating attack I had planned."
"Theoretically speaking, this method would likely be limited in war, and the Taotie civilization might not dare to launch a devastating attack on Earth."
"Therefore, the Blue team's victory was somewhat lucky."
Upon hearing this part of Huang Ke's speech, Dukao became even more convinced that it was a concession.
He hurriedly urged Lianfeng to prepare a new manuscript.
