Chapter 726: Why
Letting Lynch leak some information during the medal ceremony was a carefully planned move.
If the news spread through spies inside Gephra, the credibility would be low. Suddenly appearing parameters would raise suspicion.
If spies inside the Federation obtained the intel, it would seem abrupt.
The logic was simple: they might steal some equipment info and send it back before being caught, but it was impossible to steal a large number of classified files in one place and safely transmit them all at once.
If the Federation openly released the info themselves, it would look foolish. Occasionally announcing project names or a few strategic weapon specs can serve as military deterrence to potential enemies.
It signals, We have these advanced strategic weapons. If you’re not at our level, be prepared to back down.
But releasing detailed specs on every project at once? Do they think those countries won’t be suspicious?
So the plan was to have a reliable person leak it, draw Gephra’s attention, and give their spies some opportunities.
While arresting some spies, Gephra would also get two or three documents proving Lynch’s leaked data was authentic. They would likely fall for it.
