#640 - Chapter 640 Space Folding
"No, Elder Qin, you can't listen to Dongfang Chen's nonsense! The troops of the Central Military Region cannot be transferred, otherwise, the parliament will truly be rendered powerless," Baili Ji earnestly advised.
He was right.
If the parliament doesn't have military force under its control, the people below won't have any respect for it. Without respect, who would listen to the parliament's commands?
"Is that so! What you said isn't without merit," Elder Qin said, feigning contemplation.
"How about this, you gather the strength of the Southeast Military Region Command and all the military sub-districts, and transfer them all to Kyoto for guard duty!"
After thinking for a long time, he came up with a crooked idea.
"Elder Qin, the troops of the Southeast Military Region were transferred away long ago, you know that. Now, even if you add up all 12 military sub-districts, are there even 20,000 people? I doubt it! This little force is definitely not enough!" Baili Ji said with a mournful face.
At this moment, he had already cursed Dongfang Chen a hundred times in his heart.
He believed that Dongfang Chen had tricked Elder Qin.
"You figure it out yourself! Three days, I'll give you a maximum of three days to transfer the troops over to me!" Elder Qin said firmly.
"I... I'll think of a way!" Baili Ji reluctantly agreed.
"Good, then that's settled."
"Wait! Elder Qin, how about this? I'll transfer the troops stationed in the Southeast Military Region to you," Baili Ji played a little trick.
Elder Qin smiled knowingly.
This was the little trick he wanted.
"Humph! You also said that the Southeast Military Region only has less than 20,000 troops, far from enough!" Elder Qin disagreed.
"What if we add the Northeast Military Region?"
"What do you think? Baili Ji, you know the consequences of disobeying military orders, I don't need to emphasize it to you, right?" Elder Qin refused. Agreeing too readily would make the motive too obvious.
"Yes!" Baili Ji didn't dare to say more.
After ending the call, Baili Ji immediately convened a meeting of parliamentarians.
The commanders of the four military regions, Southeast, Northwest, and Northeast were all at the Mosang Ark base, so they could only participate remotely via video conference.
"Elder Qin wants to transfer the troops from the Central Military Region? How come we didn't know about this?" Zongzhen Yue asked.
The other commanders were unaware.
"Elder Qin didn't tell you?" Baili Ji was confused.
"No!" Zongzhen Yue shook his head.
"I don't think there's anything strange about it. If he wanted us to know, he could directly transfer troops from the Mosang Ark base, right? Why transfer troops from the Central Military Region?" Yan Zhengping analyzed.
"Then don't we know now?" Zongzhen Yue retorted.
"What do you know? What's the battle plan?" Yan Zhengping retorted.
"I..." Zongzhen Yue was stumped.
In the end, the result of their analysis was: Elder Qin's purpose in transferring troops must be to complete a secret mission.
In order to complete the task assigned by Elder Qin, the meeting finally decided:
All the soldiers stationed in the four major military regions would be transferred away to gather at the Mosang Ark base. The military region headquarters would be temporarily left empty. The 80,000 soldiers of the Central Military Region would not be adjusted.
In this way, the soldiers needed by Elder Qin would be gathered, and Kyoto would not have any problems.
And what Elder Qin wanted was precisely this result.
This was the method of the elder statesmen, subtly influencing everything, leaving everyone clueless.
With all the headquarters of the four major military regions emptied, the evil cult's plan to destroy the military bases could only be shelved.
March 1, 2057 AD.
A bizarre incident suddenly occurred.
"Commander, Gu Qingyi is gone," Xiao Lin reported.
"Gone? What do you mean?" Dongfang Chen didn't understand.
What does 'gone' mean?
The base is under his complete surveillance, how could a living person just disappear?
"Just now, Gu Qingyi's life signs suddenly disappeared from the base," Xiao Lin explained.
"Pull up the surveillance footage!"
Xiao Lin quickly synchronized the footage to the big screen.
In the picture, Gu Qingyi was sitting at her desk.
Then, she suddenly got up and walked towards the corner of the wall.
Then, she disappeared directly.
"Is there any special device on the wall?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"After detection, there is no special device on the wall," Xiao Lin replied.
"How could this be?" Dongfang Chen frowned.
Analyzing from the scene he saw, there was only one scientific explanation for Gu Qingyi's departure: space folding.
The principle of space folding is very similar to folding paper.
Two completely unrelated points on a plane can be overlapped by folding.
The same is true for three-dimensional space.
But unlike space lenses, space folding technology can only be achieved in four-dimensional space.
Apart from space folding, he really didn't know what other method could make a person disappear inexplicably.
This Mani Sect is more complex than imagined!
First, there was the space lens, and now there is space folding. Even during the most technologically advanced period of humanity 1 billion years ago, they had not achieved such accomplishments.
How did the Mani Sect master these technologies?
