Chapter 559 - 245 for freedom
Yang Ming was attending a high-level formal meeting of the Sherman Empire for the first time.
He always felt... except for everyone restraining themselves from cursing directly, the atmosphere was quite similar to a company meeting discussing targets for the next quarter’s KPI.
Several deputy directors of the Military Intelligence Bureau were lined up in a row at the head of the table, all with stern faces and an oppressive presence.
More than a dozen Imperial intelligence heads, bearing the ranks of lieutenant colonel and colonel, sat on both sides as the main speakers.
Yang Ming sat in a corner, in front of him a virtual sign that read "Special Invited Attendee."
He had not spoken yet, listening to them discuss the paper. The current issue focused on one point—they could not convince the top ranks of the Imperial Military Department to deploy such a large fleet formation based simply on one paper.
The meeting had been underway for half an hour when Yang Ming couldn’t help but yawn.
"Oh, Mr. Hanton..."
The major general chairing the meeting caught Yang Ming off guard, the elderly man with graying hair asked warmly, "You have gifted us this intelligence, and for that, we are grateful, but as you can see, we are unable to reach a unanimous decision."
Lieutenant Colonel Atro immediately added next to Yang Ming, "The general means to ask if you could provide more accurate intelligence information, better proof that this paper is credible, so we can convince the Military Department."
Yang Ming straightened up, his gaze contemplative.
