"What do you want with so many nuclear weapons? And missiles, even if we gave them to you, could you transport them back?"
"That's none of your concern," Dongguo Cilian said in a demanding tone, "If you're not the one to make decisions, then find someone who is. I think, Ji Xinghe should be able to, right?"
Indeed, Tang Qiao was not authorized to make decisions, but his conversation with Dongguo Cilian had already been shared with the South Sky Gate Space Station.
So he was able to confirm quickly.
"Thirty nuclear weapons, no missile launchers."
"Too few, and what's the use of nuclear weapons without missile launchers?"
"Once we successfully occupy the Transition Base where you are and ensure that there are no hidden nuclear weapons, we will give you more."
"There's not enough time. Do you know how large this Transition Base is? Even if given a year, you wouldn't be able to thoroughly check for hidden nuclear weapons unless you dismantle the base within that year."
