Chapter 1370: Chapter 1162: Movements on All Sides (Part 2)
Soth shook his head in disappointment and said, “Sir, from a broad perspective, our interests are aligned!”
Livingstone sneered and shook his head, saying, “Promoting new liberalism is our common interest, but who is the one deciding the allocation of benefits?
The Edward Foundation has spent billions of US Dollars over the past 20 years to help spread new liberalism, but what have we gained?
Those guys collaborating with the Ansa people are the traitors, they control TV stations and newspapers, work tirelessly with Raritan, and then consider themselves the masters of America, but in fact, they are nothing.
Under the push of these people, Israel gradually headed toward opposition with us, viewing us as extremists, regarding us as a monstrous flood…
You convened everyone for the sake of a Hu Lang, what do you intend to do?
Mr. Soth, I remind you once again, you are merely a financial advisor to the Edward Foundation. Based on your recent actions, I will vote a ‘vote of no confidence’ against you in the meeting next month…”
Faced with the overpowering Livingstone, along with a crowd of Edward Foundation members who shared Livingstone’s attitude, Soth could only leave dejectedly, boarding a helicopter that flew to the open sea outside of Copenhagen, eventually landing on a yacht…
Former American Secretary of Defense Carter watched Soth approach from the tarmac and said to an elderly woman with a hooked nose and a middle-aged man in beachwear, “I bet it’s not good news…
I said long ago that the people at the Edward Foundation are not good collaborators.
They are true businessmen; without enough benefit, they cannot be motivated to do anything.”
The elderly woman took up her glass of red wine, took a sip, then licked her lips with her tongue, leaving a residue like blood…
“There are signs of division within the Edward Foundation, which is a good thing…
Aaron from the Dupont family has been using P.B. to run his arms network; he’s even used Big Mouth Tang’s foolish policies to gain some internal support from the military-industrial complex.
He’s repeatedly intervened in the clash between Livingstone and Taran, and connected with many people wanting to seize resources from these two families.
This is a good thing!
We’re not in a position to touch Aaron, but we can take down Hu Lang and push the surprising company P.B. to go to war with Iran.
Hu Lang has balanced the interests of multiple factions in the Middle East, showing signs of calming down, and Yemen’s ceasefire is a matter to be wary of.
Hu Lang has connections with many countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council. If he dies, the conflict between the GCC and Iran will surface.
Yemen will become a vortex; just a slight provocation could make the entire Middle East tense, making it easier for us to re-establish regional influence.”
The middle-aged man in beachwear nodded in agreement and said, “Ms. Ollbert is right, Hu Lang is a dangerous figure.
Compared to those Silicon Valley tycoons, this newly emerged company P.B. poses a greater threat!
This guy has carved out a new path in a seemingly airtight system, merging seemingly unprofitable businesses into a massive entity, capable of challenging us at any moment.
BlackRock’s multiple investments in Africa are hindered by the presence of P.B.
We’ve had several consultations with Monica, trying to bring P.B. into our fold, but have never received a positive response.
P.B.’s reluctance to go public means we cannot control it…
Now it’s time to give them a warning!
The people at the Edward Foundation are unwilling to contribute manpower or resources, which does not greatly impact our plans.
I believe Mr. Carter has ways to achieve our goals…”
Soth, walking into the yacht’s dining room, picked up a glass of red wine and naturally seated himself at the lower end of the dining table…
“The people of the Edward Foundation not participating means we will lose support from the gray world; the personnel we can mobilize in Iraq will become very limited.”
Said Soth, looking at Former Defense Secretary Carter, and continued, “I’ve heard that Hu Lang has a significant influence in the American military, and his influence in Iraq is even greater, it’s even said that Baghdad is his turf…
Rumor has it that Hu Lang has connections with Soleimani, and the ceasefire of the Yemen Houthis was mediated by him.
We cannot predict Soleimani’s actions and choices; if he sides with Hu Lang, our financial and social actions in Iran will be fraught with uncertainty, and our short-selling plans will face enormous resistance.
In such a situation, are you still confident?
I’m not a military expert, but I do have some doubts, why can’t we just…”
Soth made an aerial bombing motion with his hand and then said, “Find him, lock him in, and directly kill him…”
Carter listened and immediately shook his head, saying, “Sir, you don’t understand Hu Lang, nor do you understand this guy’s influence inside the Pentagon.
He certainly can’t interfere with Pentagon operations, but if anyone tries to deal with Hu Lang through the Pentagon, I guarantee there will be immense resistance, and even if successful later, there will be very serious repercussions.
It’s just like when Tom Reed purged the state attorney’s offices and court systems in Oregon and Idaho, causing you immense investment losses there…
