The Amazing son in law Chapter 7862
charlie wade thought Lin Wan’er (Alani)’s words made sense, so he said, “I’ll ask someone to help me find out what’s going on. If the Japanese are planning to conduct large-scale scientific research in Antarctica this winter, it will be a problem for us.”
Lin Wan’er (Alani) nodded and said, “Does the young master want to ask Miss Ito for help?”
“Yes.” charlie wade smiled. “Nanako has a lot of influence in Japan. Her people should be able to figure out what big moves Japan is planning in Antarctica.”
He then called the three of them back to the research station and used a satellite phone to call Nanako.
When the call connected, Nanako asked with surprise and delight, “Is charlie wadejun calling me from Antarctica right now?”
“Yes.” charlie wade smiled and said, “We are still under the aurora borealis in Antarctica and are heading back.”
“How romantic.” Nanako couldn’t help but exclaim, then asked him, “Did charlie wadejun call because there’s something he needs me to do?”
charlie wade said directly, “Nanako, I hope you can help me investigate what Japan is up to with this largest-ever Antarctic expedition. It would be even better if you could figure out their mission.”
Nanako immediately replied, “No problem, charlie wadejun, I’ll have someone look into it right away.”
The Ito family’s influence in Japan is no less than that of the Samsung family in South Korea.
They wield significant influence not only in the private and financial spheres but also in various government departments and even within the cabinet.
Although Japan’s Antarctic expedition was kept highly confidential, this level of secrecy was like a thin sheet of paper to the Ito family, easily pierced with a simple gesture.
So, Nanako quickly called back and told charlie wade, “charlie wade-kun, I just had someone look into it. This Japanese scientific expedition to Antarctica, on the surface, is the largest in history, but it was actually caused by a human accident.”
“A human error?” charlie wade asked her, “Do you know the specifics?”
Nanako said, “I know. The newly launched research vessel transported the research team that was on a winter mission to Antarctica. They planned to unload the personnel and supplies and then return with the summer research team. However, because they needed a few days to transport the supplies, the ship’s propulsion system suddenly malfunctioned and could not be repaired in a short time. Now the ship is frozen in ice, far beyond its icebreaking capabilities, so the ship and its crew are stuck in Antarctica. In order to avoid a scandal, they announced that it was done on purpose.”
charlie wade frowned even more deeply and said, “If twice the number of personnel are stranded in Antarctica, then supplies and fuel should be quite scarce. How could they be so extravagant, directly using helicopters? Could you also ask the Japanese side what mission the helicopters are carrying out? Shouldn’t the research team here report to Japan?”
Nanako then said, “charlie wade-kun, please wait a moment. I’ll ask about the helicopter again.”
“Okay, Nanako, thank you for your hard work.”
charlie wade waited for a while, and then Nanako called back, saying with some shock, “charlie wade-kun, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology said that they did not see any record of the helicopter taking off. If what you just saw was really a helicopter from the Japanese research station, then it can only mean that they deliberately concealed the helicopter’s movement information.”
charlie wade was even more puzzled.
First, the research team members were stranded; second, the research team members secretly called in helicopters without the knowledge of the domestic authorities. This doesn’t seem like a normal situation at all.
So he asked Nanako, “Isn’t the Japanese research vessel stuck in transit? Do you have the coordinates of its location? I want to go and take a look!”
