Chapter 449: Trojan Horse

Meanwhile, in Turkey, at the "Wildfire" security headquarters.
"Is everyone in position?"
Anthony Watson, the newly appointed supreme commander, was listening to his subordinates' report.
"Yes, boss. The operational plan for Nigeria is also in its initial stages.
I must say, these guys are seasoned elites, needing no break-in period at all. Their teamwork is like a veteran unit that's been training for ten years."
Anthony's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
"Of course. I told you all before, don't think we got in by submitting resumes.
Before our application emails were even sent out, Fang Huan and his gang had probably already thoroughly examined our files.
They even planned out our future positions and responsibilities."
The longer he worked here, the more he felt a chilling sense of control.
Fang Huan Investment, this mysterious Eastern behemoth, definitely didn't just hire this group of daredevils based on a few pages of files.
He even suspected it was a massive plan that had been brewing for years.
Fang Huan might have started scouting for candidates several years in advance, like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle, selecting the world's top elites one by one, then precisely calculating who would unleash their most terrifying potential in which position.
They weren't recruiting; they were meticulously planning, placing their pre-selected pawns one by one onto the chessboard!
"Any specific instructions from above?"
"Instructions...no instructions. Chairman Su said everything is entirely up to you."
"What?" Anthony sat bolt upright. "All of this is up to me?"
"Yes. His exact words were, 'Just make our requests, and we'll provide whatever logistical support we need, no questions asked.'
There's only one point: they mentioned some discontent within the Nigerian government regarding security during the 'wildfires,' which needs to be 'properly resolved'."
"Interesting."
Full responsibility meant that everything, from arms procurement to personnel expansion, was under Anthony's sole control.
He hadn't expected Fang Huan's decisiveness to be so great; it was practically handing him an unlimited black card with the added instruction to "spend as much as you want."
What kind of trust was this?
"No," Anthony shook his head, his eyes sharpening, "this might not be trust, but a test."
"A test? You're already in charge, what's there to test?" His subordinate looked puzzled.
"Didn't you just say there are voices of opposition within the Nigerian government?
Haven't you figured out what that means?
It means we... need to 'clean up' all those disobedient guys.
Whether this first shot is fired with a bang and a bang, or dragged out and caused a mess, that's Fang Huan's first test for us!"
"Damn, boss, now that you mention it, I feel like this place... the water's much deeper than I thought!"
Deeper?
Anthony didn't think so. He only felt an unprecedented excitement, his blood was boiling!
"'Wildfire' will be the first lever that vast commercial empire uses to shake the earth!"
What we're doing now is making history, forging a path never before trodden, and perhaps never to be repeated!
Do you think Fang Huan would casually play house with us?
Frankly, before joining this organization, Anthony had racked his brains trying to uncover the unfathomable ultimate purpose of Fang Huan Investment.
Back then, he was working for a top global intelligence agency, and he and his colleagues worldwide were frantically digging.
They exhausted every means possible, yet they couldn't find out who was behind this behemoth, or where their fangs were ultimately aimed.
But after he stepped into this place, everything became clear.
Fang Huan Investment aims to build a new era empire with a completely new concept, one that no power dares to touch!
A new world constructed with capital, technology, and force, transcending traditional rules!
The thought of participating in this monumental undertaking, one that would go down in history, made Anthony's heart pound with excitement.
What's more, Fang Huan had given him supreme command of this "invincible army"!
"By the way, boss, there's another important order."
"Speak."
"The Fang Huan Charitable Foundation is preparing to send a group of staff into Nigeria for humanitarian aid.
However, considering the extremely chaotic security situation there, we've been instructed to deploy a large-scale security force, regardless of cost, to ensure absolute safety."
A charitable foundation? Sending volunteers at this critical juncture?
Anthony was initially taken aback, but then, a bold and brilliant plan instantly formed in his mind.
It seemed his subordinate had realized the same thing.
The two exchanged a glance, a knowing glint in their eyes, and smiled simultaneously.
"Heh, our Chairman Su is really considerate. He's worried we'll lack a legitimate reason for our actions, so he's specially brought us a safety net."
"Yes!" The subordinate understood immediately.
"Under the guise of 'protecting volunteers,' we can legitimately infiltrate a large number of armed personnel into the heart of Nigeria, making many of our 'dirty jobs' much easier.
We can even arrange for some of our own people to disguise themselves as volunteers and infiltrate the ranks—that would be flawless..."
"What did the Nigerian government say?"
"What else could they say? The foundation is doing good deeds, providing money and supplies, helping to stabilize public sentiment—how could they refuse?
Besides, the Fang Huan Charity Foundation has an excellent international reputation; they're known as 'generous spenders,' spending money on charity without batting an eye.
Of course, they readily agreed, deeply grateful."
And so, the Nigerian government happily swallowed this tempting bait.
They had no idea whether they'd invited in a group of angels bringing warmth or a Trojan horse capable of overturning everything.
"Looks like the higher-ups aren't even planning on giving us an adjustment period; they want us to jump right in."
"They pay a lot, so they're making you work your life away, aren't they?"
Anthony stood up, stretched, and his knuckles cracked.
"But I like it this way! To be honest, sitting here doing nothing is making my bones rust."
"Gather the manpower! Call a meeting!
Immediately develop an action plan. We're going to 'descend' together with those 'angels' from the Foundation!"
"Yes, boss!"
The subordinate turned to leave, but then stopped as if remembering something.
"Ah, right, boss. How should we handle the purge of those 'traitors' within our ranks?"
Traitors.
This is a fatal problem that no organization can avoid.
"Especially for our 'Wildfire,' the recruitment drive was so big, it caused such a stir, the whole world was watching.
I bet almost every intelligence agency has planted spies among us."
But now, no one knows which smiling face hides a dagger of betrayal.
This time bomb, if not defused, will have endless consequences.
What is the first ironclad rule of "Wildfire" security?
What the left hand does, the right hand must never know.
If someone steals intelligence from within and leaks it, it will absolutely detonate an unprecedented, earth-shattering bomb.
"Oh, that," Anthony waved his hand casually. "Don't worry about it."
"Huh? But boss, you know better than anyone, take CAI for example, they definitely have spies planted here!"
"Yes, of course they would."
Anthony chuckled, shaking his head, his expression like that of someone looking at an innocent child.
"But the problem is, even we know this, do you think... Fang Huan wouldn't have thought of it?"
