This is unreasonable, even unscientific.
When did Kent Weis change his mind?
Not many people in this conference room know that Tang Qiao, on behalf of Kent Weis, had secretly negotiated with Ji Xinghe and reached a consensus.
They did not even know that Ji Xinghe's Independent Group was able to pool resources to build three hundred Mountain-cutting Mechas and obtain three hundred units of the Nerve Link Technology for Mech driving, were all because Kent Weis was trying to please Ji Xinghe. This was not what they thought - that Kent Weis, on behalf of Eagle Continent, was trying to ingratiate himself with Dragon Continent, to please Li Anbang who was about to step down, and to prepare for taking up the position of Commander-in-Chief in the Alien Planet War Zone, and so on.
The more people who know certain things, the easier it gets leaked.
