My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 763 - 462: Bluffing_2

He had made up his mind that if he found out who was behind it,

he would use all of CIA’s elite agents to completely annihilate them both mentally and physically, even if it meant going to the ends of the Earth!

"This... not yet," his deputy said, somewhat embarrassed.

"The opposing side’s technology is quite formidable. Our people haven’t been able to find even a trace of them in the data chain so far.

However, according to the information sent back by our Country Hua intelligence officers, these people are likely part of the Network Security Department of Country Hua (CPT).

Afterwards, the head of Hua Hang Science and Technology even boldly sent a banner of appreciation to them..."

"CPT, huh... Our people had clashed with them before, and they didn’t seem so formidable then?"

"This... perhaps they were deliberately concealing their skills before? But I’ve already ordered an intensified investigation into this team."

"Hmm..."

The last counterattack was clearly a warning, and the hackers in CIA who were caught off guard still feel the lingering fear.

As a result, several key military departments in Country Hua have now quasi-become no-go zones, receiving far fewer international cyber-attacks.

There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world.

After the news spread, major hacker organizations around the world have also grown more wary of Country Hua, even reducing their routine harassments significantly.

After all, when the top two leaders in The Matrix fell, no one was sure if they could escape unscathed if they angered the Network Security Department team.

Of course, he didn’t know that the sending of the banner was merely a smokescreen by the Hua side.

The purpose, naturally, was to protect that "hero in the dark"...

Meng Lang did not want to expose his identity, and Country Hua was happy to pretend to be more powerful.

This was an unspoken understanding...

"Ah! These people of Country Hua are really becoming harder to deal with..."

Director Naji sighed helplessly as he rubbed his temples.

But soon, he chose to temporarily forget about this vexing issue, as there were more pressing matters awaiting his attention...

The tough stance of Country Hua and Hua Wei was clearly beyond his expectations.

Considering that it was a critical moment in a new round of economic and trade negotiations between the two countries, CIA planned this operation, at a minimum, to curb Hua Wei’s aggressive territorial expansion in communications and terminals.

At most, it was to exert pressure on Country Hua to gain leverage at the negotiating table.

The implicit message of the operation was... you can’t do much about trade sanctions, but are you afraid of technological sanctions?

Unexpectedly, the other side proved with their actions...

Laozi is not afraid!

This put them in a difficult position...

According to normal procedures, shouldn’t they be rushing to hire several lobbying firms, spending a hefty sum on public relations to bribe those senators?

Although, ultimately, the public relations money spent by the other side would definitely be wasted. freewёbnoνel.com

But everyone just dragging it out for a month or two, until the negotiations were over — fulfilling the leadership’s task of applying pressure and smoothly starting the second fire.

However, the other side’s unusual "tough counterattack" directly disrupted Director Naji’s plans...

Negotiations are like staring contests, where it’s all about the momentum.

Now, both sides are maintaining a tough posture, and whoever blinks first loses.

To corroborate with the actions on Black Palace’s end, this technology war must continue, even if he wasn’t keen on fighting it now.

Only, the second phase of the plan had started a year earlier than he had anticipated, making their preparations slightly inadequate.

Coordinating with relevant stakeholders alone was a headache.

There was no time for leisurely persuasion and negotiations; they had to opt for strong coercion instead...

"After our action, what was the reaction from various external parties?" Naji asked.

"Director, domestic enterprises represented by Gao Tong, Bottong, Intel, Google, Guangmei Technology, and Wei Chuangli have already responded privately to our call and are willing to stand with us,"

"Wei Chuangli in particular has been very proactive, indicating a willingness to immediately cease all cooperation with Hua Wei.

Besides, companies represented by Europa, Fusang, South Peninsula, and Wang Island generally lean towards us and have expressed a cooperative attitude.

However, upon seeing the tough stance of Hua Wei, their attitudes turned somewhat ambiguous, as they have yet to clearly state their positions.

Probably because they fear catching fire themselves, hence they want us to charge forward first so they can benefit as bystanders."

"Hmph! These fence-sitters... The money we can’t earn, they shouldn’t dream of earning either!

Tell Sanxin and the backers behind Wang Semiconductor Manufacturing Company to stay in line and cooperate.

If I find out anyone is sneaking around, secretly shipping products... then just wait for the IRS to knock on their door!"

IRS, as mentioned by Naji, was none other than the famous "Oceanic Revenue Service."

The mention of this department alone had a deterrent effect within across the ocean stronger than the FBI, akin to the terror of West Factory!

No matter if you were a superstar, a favorite of the president, or even a ruthless gang leader, once you evaded taxes, IRS would diligently chase you to the world’s end.

It’s universally acknowledged that there are three things you absolutely can’t do on Earth.

That is, to prohibit alcohol in Northern Country, to sell drugs in Country Hua, and to evade taxes across the ocean.

Of course, "legal tax avoidance" is another story since it is... legal.

Naji initially wanted to forcefully push through, but then thought it might be inappropriate.

"Although these guys are fence-sitters, after all, it’s letting others get hurt, if they feel like cannon fodder, they might end up half-hearted in their efforts.
