Looking at the intelligence in front of him, he had no idea how to face the situation.

This gentleman knew very well the consequences once Flame Country fully mastered controllable nuclear fusion.

In the future, Flame Country’s national power would gradually strengthen, until one day it completely surpassed the United States.

This was a day he did not want to see, no matter what.

Yet he couldn’t think of a solution, and could only stare blankly at the intelligence on the table.

Sir! We must find a way to respond now; we can’t just watch Flame Country construct reactors on such a large scale. We have to come up with a solution!

At this moment, a voice startled him from his stupor.

The CIA director had just introduced the intelligence and noticed he hadn’t responded.

So, he spoke to bring this gentleman back to preside over the situation, as the meeting couldn’t proceed without his leadership.

Awakened by the intelligence director’s voice, he quickly realized he had been a bit lost.

In such a critical meeting, daydreaming was not something a competent president should do.

They were discussing very important issues now, and he couldn’t show signs of despair.

If even he began to panic, others would have no way out.

He soon adjusted his emotions and asked, ”What do you all think of this intelligence? Please bring up any good ideas for everyone to discuss.”

Once he said this, the meeting room fell silent, with everyone frowning and contemplating how to handle the matter.

While everyone was still pondering, an old man with glasses broke the silence.

Sir! I believe this intelligence is false; Flame Country couldn’t possibly be ready to construct reactors! I think there’s an issue with this intelligence; Flame Country can’t progress so quickly.

This bespectacled old man was a scientist from the United States, specializing in nuclear energy.

He previously led the country’s research in controllable nuclear fusion.

That’s why he was here today, to provide expert opinions.

After hearing the scientist’s words, the intelligence director looked displeased.

The scientist’s words questioned the integrity of his intelligence work, doubting the authenticity of the intelligence.

He immediately retorted, ”Do you know what it cost our operatives to obtain this intelligence?

After saying this, the intelligence director turned to the scientist, looking like he wanted to swallow him whole.

What reason do you have to believe this intelligence is false? In my experience, this intelligence is entirely trustworthy, without any fabrication.

His voice grew louder toward the end, echoing through the meeting room.

From his tone, you could tell how angry he was.

It was anger from having his work being questioned, and he evidently was very dissatisfied with the scientist.

The scientist’s previous words were almost dismissive, nearly saying outright that his intelligence was fake, making it unacceptable to the intelligence community.

As the intelligence director, he couldn’t tolerate such skepticism; this intelligence cost significant sacrifices.

He had already lost several outstanding agents in Flame Country for this intelligence.

Having such hard-earned intelligence questioned made him naturally furious.

The scientist was also not someone easily swayed; he quickly countered, ”You can’t understand the intricacies of nuclear fusion technology. Every year, our country spends hundreds of billions on this. Flame Country can’t master the entire technology so quickly. What about Jiang Cheng’s papers? They can’t be fake, right? Just because you can’t solve it doesn’t mean others can’t, and it seems Jiang Cheng is doing much better than you.”

The intelligence director wouldn’t back down and immediately confronted the scientist.

How can you mention those billions spent? The country spends so much money on you every year, yet sees no results, only for Flame Country to complete it first. It seems all the national expenditure over the years was wasted, as all your funding went down the drain!

After being questioned about his work, the intelligence director’s words became harsh.

He turned the tables to question the scientist’s work, accusing him of wasting national resources.

Hearing the intelligence director’s words, the scientist’s face turned red and he loudly rebutted after a long pause.

”I don’t have time to explain to someone as uninformed as you how difficult fusion technology is. You wouldn’t understand even if I tried; just know that Flame Country can’t fully master it.

In the scientific community, he had a high standing, always a top expert in nuclear fusion internationally.

In the United States, he held a prestigious position and had never been spoken to like this, leading him to shout at the intelligence director in anger.

The situation became heated, and the two were on the verge of fighting.

Watching the two arguing, he wearily rubbed his forehead.

The Flame Country issue was already giving him a headache, and now these two began to quarrel, causing him even more discomfort.

He felt like his head was about to split, unsure of how to deal with the current situation.

Both men held prominent positions in the United States, with a strong say in their respective fields.

Even he couldn’t easily rebuke them and needed to communicate with them carefully.

Although he dared not offend the two arbitrarily, he couldn’t let them argue here either.

In such a high-level meeting, if it devolved into a shouting match, he would lose face.

He could only control the increasingly chaotic situation before it spiraled out of control.

”Alright! Everyone stop arguing! This is a formal high-level meeting, not a place to quarrel. Look at what you’ve become!

Please mind your emotions. Stay calm and don’t act impulsively. Making yourselves lose credibility benefits no one; nobody wants such a situation.

Seeing the impassioned scene, he began to mediate to calm both parties down.
