#560 - Chapter 560 Deliberately Exposing Whereabouts
"Brother Niu, arrange for a diplomatic note to be sent to the Democratic Republic of Egula. I want to meet with them," Dongfang Chen contacted Niu Xingwang.
"Okay, should we arrange an online meeting or send a delegation?" Niu Xingwang asked.
"Since this is our first contact, let's send a delegation. This way, we can learn more about the situation," Dongfang Chen replied after considering it.
"Okay!"
Half an hour later.
"Mr. Dongfang, they have agreed. The time is the morning of the day after tomorrow," Niu Xingwang replied.
"Very good. You can arrange the personnel, and make sure to take protective measures."
"Okay."
Due to the six-hour time difference between Bato City and Egula's capital, Kai'luo, and the fact that the nearest route would pass through the airspace of Moduo or Yinba, making it relatively dangerous, the safest option was to first pass through Chinese airspace southward into the South China Sea, and then cross the Indian Ocean westward into the African continent.
The detour route was 15,000 kilometers long, requiring nearly 20 hours of travel at full speed.
According to the calculation, Dongfang Chen's delegation needed to depart no later than 20:00 tomorrow night to successfully arrive in Kai'luo by 10:00 in the morning.
This time was enough for Niu Xingwang to make arrangements.

Kyoto, Parliament Building.
"Old Qin, the Wulan Neutral Zone has applied for a flight route with us," Baili Ji said.
"Oh? How did Dongfang Chen suddenly become so well-behaved? Hasn't he always flown wherever he wanted? When has he ever applied for a flight route?" Old Qin asked, as if he had heard something new.
"I think this situation is quite special," Baili Ji replied.
"What's so special about it?"
"Their route is to the South China Sea."
"What are they doing in the South China Sea?" Old Qin also found it strange.
"Not sure."
"No, there's something fishy here," Old Qin pondered.
According to his understanding, even if they were flying to the South China Sea, there was no need to specifically apply for a flight route. The Wulan Neutral Zone's flight route planning system was interconnected with the Huatong Chamber of Commerce, and with the parliament's tacit approval and the cooperation of the four major military regions, Dongfang Chen had always flown wherever he wanted.
"Is Dongfang Chen hinting at something?" Baili Ji asked.
"That kid, I don't know what he's up to. I haven't been able to reach him for days. I'll try calling again," Old Qin shook his head helplessly.
This time, he actually got through.
"Hello, Old Qin."
"You little brat, where are you?" Old Qin asked in an unfriendly tone.
"I'm at the base!" Dongfang Chen fabricated.
"Why couldn't I reach you these past few days?"
"Ah! I caught a cold after returning from Bayingolin and rested for a few days," Dongfang Chen made up a story.
It wasn't out of some perverse taste; it was just that the current situation wasn't suitable for saying too much.
Currently, who is a friend and who is a foe is really unclear.
"The Military and Political Department just reported that you applied for a flight route to the South China Sea. What's going on?"
"Oh, I'm planning to arrange for a delegation to visit Egula."
There was nothing to keep secret about this matter.
"Is that all? When did you become so polite?" Old Qin was still a little skeptical.
"Old Qin, look at what you're saying. Isn't this normal procedure?" Dongfang Chen said with a laugh.
"It's normal for others, but not for you."
"Old Qin, talking to you like this can really kill the conversation."
"Tell the truth!"
"It really is the truth! If you don't believe me, send someone to follow us," Dongfang Chen said.
"Then that's it. You should get some rest!"
After speaking, Old Qin hung up the phone.
"Old Qin, what did he say?" Baili Ji asked.
"He said he's going to visit Egula," Old Qin replied.
Baili Ji walked to the map, looked at it, and pondered for a moment.
"From the current situation, this route is indeed relatively safe. But what is his ulterior motive for making such a fuss?" Baili Ji asked.
Baili Ji didn't believe that Dongfang Chen's deliberate application for a flight route was unintentional.
"I don't think the problem lies in the flight route. Don't you think it's strange that this kid is suddenly visiting Egula? As far as I know, he hasn't actively visited any country before," Old Qin analyzed.
"Are you saying there's something wrong with Egula?" Baili Ji understood.
"Perhaps there's a problem with Egula, but there's another possibility."
"What possibility?"
"He might be deliberately exposing his whereabouts," Old Qin pondered.
"That's right, it must be like that!" Baili Ji agreed.
"Let the news of Dongfang Chen's planned visit to Egula leak out. I believe many little devils will jump out on their own accord," Old Qin said.
Now everyone knows that Dongfang Chen is the mastermind behind the establishment of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce, and his existence restricts the interests of many people.
Especially the Moni sect members lurking in the Chinese official system, they will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Moreover, with the Moduo Grand Sacrificial Ceremony approaching, these people are also worried that Dongfang Chen may use the guise of going to Egula to do something else.
