Chapter 483: 'Creating' the Times!

For desperate criminals, Guyana today is nothing short of a promised land flowing with milk and honey.
How rich is this land?
Some joke that finding a place here without minerals is much harder than finding one with them.
As a result, flies from all over the world have flocked here.
Illegal mining, human trafficking, arms dealing, rampant drug trafficking…
Every imaginable evil is being rampant on this land.
“Country M and its allies can’t possibly do all this dirty work for them themselves.
So, the early mining companies are now crying out for their investments and running away.
The gangs are too rampant; armed attacks happen every few days, looting equipment and ore as if it were commonplace.
Therefore, the Guyanese government is now in a desperate situation, completely overwhelmed!”
This is indeed a tragic story.
But what is someone else’s tragedy is often Fang Huan’s opportunity.
Guyana is in dire straits, while its biggest backer, the US, is preoccupied with partisan infighting and has no time to spare.
"So, they not only want us to invest in the navy to defend against the Venezuelan threat;
they also hope we'll invest in the army as well, to help them clean up those lawless criminal organizations within their borders?"
"Yes! But, Chairman Su, I have a suggestion," Liu Bo's eyes flashed with excitement,
"Since we'll have to invest money sooner or later, why not turn the tables and buy up all the mines abandoned by those criminal gangs at rock-bottom prices!"
"Buy the mines?"
"Exactly! What they need is protection, right?
But we can't just protect them and get nothing in return.
It's better to acquire ownership of the mines. That way, when we invest in the military, it's equivalent to protecting our own assets, and every penny spent will be justified!"
Su Hao's eyes suddenly lit up.
This suggestion perfectly closed the final link in the entire plan.
It was less of an investment and more of a brilliant "get-rich-quick" deal!
"Bring me the map of the mines over there."
"Yes!"
Soon, an electronic map appeared on Su Hao's screen.
The moment he zoomed in, his gaze fell upon it, and a dramatic change occurred!
With a simple click of his mouse, countless points of light on that vast South American land burst forth like mushrooms after rain!
Like fireworks exploding in the night, or a dazzling starry sky, they instantly coalesced into a magnificent sea of ​​stars!
"..."
Su Hao's breath hitched slightly.
He had initially thought that "acquiring a few mines" meant at most three or five.
But looking at the countless points of light before him, he realized that this was no small matter.
This...this wasn't just about picking up a few scraps; this was about contracting out the geological exploration business of an entire country!
A thought flashed through his mind like lightning:
'Holy crap… so much ore, even if we bought it all, how would we dig it all out?
We can't expect the Wildfire Special Agents to be miners with pickaxes, can we?'
***
Meanwhile, inside a heavily guarded secret base.
"Boss, breaking news. Headquarters is going to acquire all the abandoned mines in Guyana."
"Oh? Acquire the mines?"
"Yes, apparently because the criminal organizations helping Guyana are so rampant, many mining companies have fled overnight, leaving behind a huge mess.
Now, headquarters wants to buy all these mines at rock-bottom prices and put them under their unified management.
We, 'Wildfire,' will provide manpower and weapons, help the Guyanese government train its troops to fight the criminals, and incidentally protect 'our own' mines."
"We only provide protection?"
"That's right. The plan is this:
Headquarters will fund the Guyanese government to strengthen its military, and then our people will cooperate with the local army to wipe out the criminal organizations within the country and protect the security of the mining areas.
This way, Guyana can both receive investment to strengthen its national power and get rid of the military threat from Venezuela—a win-win situation."
Anthony Watson, the former top agent of CAI and now the regional head of the "Wildfire" organization, listened to his subordinate's report with a playful smile.
As expected of Fanghuan Investment!
Their moves and strategies are always so unexpected, yet perfectly logical.
“From one to ten, every move headquarters makes is like a giant spider web, each link intricately connected, making it impossible to predict.”
The subordinate looked bewildered: “Boss, you mean…”
“Think about it,” Anthony’s eyes deepened,
“If it weren’t for the financial crises Fang Huan Investment had stirred up globally several times before, would the lower classes in those countries have been in such chaos?
Would those desperate criminals be flooding into Guyana like this now?
Would Guyana’s mines have fallen to this state?”
The subordinate gasped: “Ah—!”
“Think again, if it weren’t for Fang Huan Investment stirring up trouble behind the scenes, causing the Aiden government to be in a state of utter chaos and reduced to its current ‘vegetative state’ state.
Why would the Guyanese government be so terrified as to turn to us for help, seeing us as their only lifeline?”
“Could it be that all of this… is all…” The subordinate’s voice began to tremble.
“That’s right.” Anthony’s tone was tinged with near-admiration.
“All the seemingly isolated events are threads, everything is connected!
Every seemingly insignificant little event is a piece of their grand blueprint!
Headquarters isn’t just going with the flow; they…are ‘creating’ the times!
Every step they take paves the way for the final harvest; every step is timed to coincide with a pivotal moment of global upheaval!”
Back when Anthony was still at CAI, he had been repeatedly amazed by Fang Huan Investment’s unpredictable and masterful strategic maneuvering.
They could always create a long, inexplicable chain reaction through a series of seemingly unrelated events, precisely detonating a certain point, and then elegantly taking what they wanted from the chaotic ruins.
Now, having personally participated and observing it all from an insider’s perspective, the shock and horror were amplified countless times!
He truly felt the chilling power of such a meticulously planned scheme!
“Boss, what kind of person could devise such a terrifying plan?”
“Who knows?” Anthony shook his head.
“But one thing is certain: this couldn’t have been conceived by one person alone.
Behind headquarters, there must be an extremely terrifying strategic planning team.
A team… capable of manipulating CAI, KGB, and Mossad to their core;
a ghost team that can search every intelligence agency in the world from top to bottom and still find nothing!”
