Moreover... Lin Haifeng does not represent himself right now... but rather represents the entire military force— the most powerful scientific research group on Earth, as well as the currently second strongest combat group, and possibly even the superpower that holds the most trump cards on the planet!
What’s even more ridiculous is that it was Tang Haofei who pushed Lin Haifeng to his current height!
Thus, Tang Haofei fell silent... and Lin Haifeng continued speaking.
“To resist the demonic disaster is your ideal, your goal that you have always wanted to achieve, right?”
“If the plan fails, the situations you just mentioned may indeed occur, but as far as I am concerned, the Sea King control plan is imperative. If you don’t help me, I will still implement this plan— under such circumstances, the success rate of the plan would be about fifty percent. Trust me, compared to the benefits of a successful plan, a fifty percent probability is enough for me to bear the risk of turning against the oceanic tribe!”
“If the plan succeeds, everything will be easy to discuss; if it fails, the human race will turn against the oceanic tribe, which will greatly impact your ideal!”
“But if you help me…”
“The success rate of this plan would be nearly one hundred percent. This probability is the result of detailed calculations I had Fran and the military think tank carry out.”
“You see, since you can’t stop me from implementing the Sea King control plan, then why not help me? Why not elevate the overall success rate of the plan to the highest?”
“Once the Sea King control plan succeeds…”
“The two most powerful forces on Earth will become an impenetrable iron wall. You know well the benefits of that…”
“And if the plan fails, what will you do? Kill me? You wouldn’t do that; I am the most indispensable person on this Earth. I am of great use to you, to your ideals, and to this planet!”
“Helping the human race turn against the oceanic tribe? That’s not what you want…”
“Helping the oceanic tribe to exterminate the human race? That’s even more absurd…”
It was as if a devil’s whisper lingered around Tang Haofei's ears.
And Tang Haofei merely squinted his eyes and seriously observed Lin Haifeng’s aged face.
After a long time, Tang Haofei spoke in a calm tone.
“To be honest, you are truly despicable. I kind of understand now why Wen Yu had to kill your son.”
Lin Haifeng’s earlier remarks seemed to be persuading Tang Haofei, but the essence of his words was just one thing— a threat!
Lin Haifeng was using the future of the two major military groups on Earth, the fate of the entire planet, to threaten Tang Haofei!
And what’s laughable is that Tang Haofei really couldn’t bear the result of a war between humans and the oceanic tribe!
Everyone has their leverage, everyone has their weaknesses...
Just like Qin Shiyuan concerning Qin Tian, the Earth concerning Tang Haofei...
“I’m not being despicable; this is just strategy...” Lin Haifeng explained with a smile.
...
A long period of silence ensued.
Lin Haifeng did not continue speaking; instead, he left the thinking time to Tang Haofei.
At this moment, Tang Haofei's mind was clearer than ever, rapidly processing the advantages and disadvantages of the whole situation.
If he doesn't help...
The success rate of the plan is fifty percent (approximately)...
Setting aside the successful scenario, if the plan fails, the human race and the oceanic tribe will turn against each other...
This was not an option anymore. Since he already knew Lin Haifeng’s schemes and methods, Tang Haofei had no reason to stay out of it...
If he helps, it can be divided into two situations: help the human race or help the oceanic tribe.
If he helps the oceanic tribe, under the premise of Lin Haifeng launching the plan, Tang Haofei was absolutely confident he could cause Lin Haifeng’s plan to fail.
Then, what next?
The treaty would naturally not need to be mentioned; the oceanic tribe might rage and, with a very low probability, possibly wage war against Beijing, but the chances of them taking action were low...
