The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 233 - 157: Battle Intelligence Unit Mobilized! (Request for Subscription)_2
Fang Hao nodded, indeed he had not heard of it.
But from the other party's tone, the establishment of this office was truly out of the ordinary.
"Don't worry, I have no malice towards you."
"On the contrary, we just want to recruit you."
Director Xiao revealed his purpose for the trip.
He had been watching Fang Hao for quite some time, confirming that the latter was indeed a very special talent.
Especially Fang Hao's miraculous fishing luck, always catching strange and curious things.
How many people could have such luck?
Absolutely unique.
This time, he came specifically to recruit him.
Ugh...
Fang Hao hadn't expected someone else to come to recruit him.
Previously, Captain Yu had asked him if he wanted to join the military and had wanted to recruit him.
Now, there was Director Xiao from some Special Personnel Research Office who also wanted to recruit him.
"This..."
Fang Hao was honestly feeling troubled.
He just wanted to enjoy fishing...
Who would have thought that fishing would bring so much trouble?
"I'll think about it."
Fang Hao replied as usual.
Director Xiao had clearly anticipated Fang Hao's reaction and smiled, "Okay, take your time to think about it."
"But let me tell you about the benefits of joining us."
"Join us and you don't have to mention the treatment; you'll have high authority, and when things happen, you can mobilize some local resources at will..."
"You also want to do great things, right? Joining us is the best choice, and we won't restrict your freedom. We don't have to clock in every day like other departments; we're very free."
"And besides, we serve the country, which is a matter of great honor."
Director Xiao explained the benefits of joining them to Fang Hao.
The benefits were indeed very tempting.
For the average person, that would be extremely appealing.
Not for anything else, but for the last phrase, it was considered honorable and would bring glory to one's ancestors.
But often high rewards mean high risks.
To get such good treatment, one must definitely give something in return.
Fang Hao wasn't some naive youngster; he certainly understood.
So, when Director Xiao mentioned these benefits, he still did not commit.
"I'll think about it some more."
Fang Hao didn't rush to agree.
Better to look around more.
He had no idea what special abilities he had that could interest the other party.
He felt like an ordinary person.
Nothing special about him.
"Okay."
"I hope to hear some good news from you next time we meet."
Director Xiao nodded.
He was confident that the next time he met Fang Hao, he would definitely join them.
...
On Eagle's end, having gone through various reports of gathered intelligence, they finally began to see some clues.
It seems they heard that Rabbit was secretly researching a project.
And there was the picture of Fang Hao pulling up an airplane wing, which was screenshot and shared by the walking 500,000 to Eagle's side. Also there were some satellite photos, showing the tracks of some ships' activities on the sea.
But since the image was too fuzzy, they couldn't make out what it was.
Eagle's side was researching overnight what this fished-up object was.
They also suspected that their own plane had fallen into Rabbit's hands.
But without any evidence, they couldn't assert anything.
Now, the only thing they had was this screenshot.
Yet after studying it for a long time and making various comparisons and analyses, they still couldn't determine what it was.
"I feel like it's a wing."
Someone made a judgment.
This conclusion received affirmation from many.
But as for which plane's wing it was.
They truly had no way to determine.
"Could it be our fallen plane?"
"But those people didn't go to where our plane crashed. That place is too far away from us; the plane couldn't possibly have gone there."
Eagle didn't believe their own plane could be fished out by someone.

If that were the case, it would be a huge embarrassment.
Look, they spent so much manpower and resources, spent so much money, but returned empty-handed.
But on the other side, it's almost as if a mere fisherman fished out the plane.
Wouldn't that say they were incompetent?
That they were incapable?
How could they admit to that?
Even if they reel in their own plane, they won't admit it.
They'll never admit it to their death.
To admit it would be to acknowledge their incompetence, to admit that their ability is lacking. No one wants to shoulder that responsibility.
So they'll just pass the buck to others to bear.
They won't fuss about whether the aircraft caught by Fang Hao is theirs or not.
Even if it is, they'll say it's not.
But still, they're prepared to capitalize on this incident, just ignoring Fang Hao.
Who Fang Hao is, is of little importance.
That's not the point.
The point is where this plane is now.
That's what they're worried about.
...
On the other side.
Zhan Hu Bureau made its move.
They released a news story on the internet, showing footage of a warship and a salvage vessel. However, the thing being salvaged was an old antique plane that had been decommissioned a long time ago.
The plane was at least sixty or seventy years old.
The news even claimed it was a plane that had sunk during a sea battle a long time ago.
Now it's been salvaged.
There are photos.
Judging from the photos, it indeed looks like an old fighter, an outdated Sword 5 [or J-5].
This is their way of telling Eagle, I did indeed salvage a plane, but it's not yours, it's my own.
Besides, I didn't go anywhere near your area.
You have no evidence that the plane I salvaged was yours.
This left Eagle on the other side completely unsure of how to respond.
It's like punching into cotton.
They can't exert any force.
There's an impulse to cough up blood.
They never imagined that the other side would have this tactic prepared.
As for the progress of the new carrier-borne aircraft research, the Zhan Hu Bureau once again released a statement saying the research was not going well. Due to a lack of technical reserves, they planned to modify the existing Sword 10 into a carrier-based aircraft.
Haha, I'll believe you when pigs fly.
Eagle, once deceived, would never believe their nonsense.
But without believing, they could not get any information.
As for the spies they had planted, those 'half-million walkers', they were found out by the security departments.
A good number of them have been caught recently.
This has made it even harder for them to gather information.
...
And Fang Hao knew nothing about all of this.
Of course, these things were none of his concern.
After Fang Hao and his group returned to the island, they took some time to rest properly.
When they had their fill of fun, Fang Hao and his companions were ready to say goodbye to Captain Yu and head back.
Overall, their trip to Island Province was very enjoyable.
"Big bro Hao, are we going home?"
Go home?
No.
How could Fang Hao go back so soon?
He hadn't caught a single fish on this trip to Island Province, and he was not satisfied.
Besides, what's the fun in going home? He might even get stalked by a bunch of media people. How uncomfortable that would be.
"We're going to Jinghai."
"I have a friend who says that the eastern waters are teeming with fish right now, it's easy to catch a boatload. We can head over there now."
That was Fang Hao's real intention.
Upon hearing this, he was already itching to go.
Since he couldn't catch fish in Island Province, might as well just change the location.
A change of place can bring a change of fortune.
Fang Hao always believed that one day he would catch fish.
If he hadn't caught any, then definitely, it was the place that was inadequate.
"Ah..." Xiao Pang clearly didn't expect that they would be changing locations again.
"Do you want to come along?" Fang Hao asked.
"Go, definitely go."
Fishing with Fang Hao was so fun, Xiao Pang naturally didn't want to miss out.
He had to go.
Definitely had to go.
Such a good opportunity couldn't be missed.
Following Big bro Hao, you might go hungry for three days out of nine... cough, cough, wrong, it means living the life of plenty, and if push comes to shove, you could even catch fish yourself to eat.
"Okay, I'll buy the tickets; we leave tonight."
Just perfect to take a plane tonight, rest for a night, then they could head out to sea to fish the next day.
The timing was perfect.
A true master of time management.
