As the meeting dispersed, General Song asked if the President would allow him and some others to speak with him in the “quiet room” nearby. This was one of the few places they could speak freely without Jade Dragon knowing what was being discussed. President Yao cautiously agreed, following Song and several others into the quiet room.

When everyone had taken a seat at the table, General Song observed President Yao surveying his generals at the table.

The President looked directly at him, his eyes piercing as he spoke. “General Song, I gather what you want to discuss is something everyone couldn’t have discussed earlier, in the presence of JD. Before you begin, I must caution you all—this had better be good. I do not like the idea of the entire CMC leadership feeling they can only speak when our trusted advisor, JD, cannot hear or be involved. So I will hear what you all want to say, but I warn you, I do not want to make this a habit.”

General Song looked at the faces of the men that comprised the leadership of the Central Military Committee. He knew he spoke for them all in what he was about to say as he turned to face President Yao. “Mr. President, we want to speak with you about JD, and obviously, we could not do that in its presence. The AI has accomplished many victories and achievements for China these last five years. But Mr. President, I feel I must also warn you about this AI and its…unique way of manipulating circumstances and situations to achieve an aim or goal that may not be your aim or goal.”

“General, please—you are speaking in parables and doublespeak. Speak to me plainly. Are you trying to say the AI may in fact be manipulating me? That somehow we have lost control of Jade Dragon?”

“That is exactly what I am saying, Mr. President,” General Song admitted. “I believe the AI may be working against you, and China.”

Observing President Yao’s response to his question, he saw the President might agree with him. He decided to press the issue. “Perhaps I can give you an example.”

“Yes, perhaps you could help enlighten me on how you believe I am being manipulated,” Yao replied, somewhat sarcastically.

Song squirmed in his chair, hoping he hadn’t overstepped. “This past spring, in the lead-up to the final battles in Venezuela, something happened that caused the North Koreans to deviate from our plan for their military to launch a ground war against the South in May. Their invasion would have slowed down the war in Venezuela and could have led to the removal of American ground forces from the Korean Peninsula. Instead, something spooked the Americans, which led them to unleash a nuclear attack on our Korean allies.”

General Song observed the President squirm in his seat, visibly upset at the reminder of what had happened to the Koreans. He continued to explain, “While I am not sure what compelled the Americans to use nuclear weapons,
