Chapter 495: Clay Chickens and Earthen Dogs

This time, Fang Huan's actions were a blatant, overt conspiracy.
They wanted to tell the world:
So-called public opinion is nothing more than a lump of clay in the hands of capital!
Faced with the power of the media, the so-called century-old political foundation is nothing but a fragile clay sculpture, as fragile as a piece of paper!
"I even suspect that the discharge of nuclear wastewater from Fukushima was a grand scheme orchestrated by Fang Huan from the very beginning!"
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it! Under the guise of 'controlling nuclear pollution,' they smoothly poured massive amounts of 'sponsorship' into the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), establishing an unbreakable relationship.
And those IAEA bureaucrats, who were worried about losing their jobs due to the 'denuclearization' movement, immediately hit it off with Fang Huan, eagerly rushing to Guyana to build some new nuclear energy base!
And that's not all. Fang Huan then turned around and, under the slogan of 'protecting the purity of Japan's waters,' transformed the Xia-origin politicians he supported into savior-like environmental heroes!
This entire scheme is flawless!"
And all of this started with the Japanese government's foolish decision to "discharge wastewater into the sea."
Without this decision, Fang Huan's "marriage" with the IAEA would be impossible, and the future energy base in Guyana would remain a mere illusion.
Lina's expression grew increasingly grave: "If Fang Huan succeeds in this election, what will happen next?
Having completed the 'beta test' in Japan, Fang Huan will replicate this model worldwide!
They will cultivate politicians in all developed countries who serve their interests, like mass-producing products on an assembly line!
And the people of these countries will be brainwashed unknowingly within Fang Huan's meticulously woven information cocoon, happily casting their votes for Fang Huan's designated 'agents'!"
What a terrifying prospect that would be!
Starting from Japan, all developed countries would be ruled by Fang Huan's political puppets!
This means that Fang Huan, from both commercial and political dimensions, will achieve an unprecedented and complete colonization of the entire Western world!
“It’s ridiculous that, even though things have gotten this bad, our great Republican lawmakers are still spending all their energy on this stupid thing—getting our government off the table!”
Lina slammed her fist on the table in anger, her knuckles turning white.
The shadow of Fang Huan’s investments had already loomed over the globe, and those foolish Republicans, like mad dogs, were circling around the election, desperately tearing at the incumbent government.
“That’s exactly what Fang Huan wants! They’d love for us to fight amongst ourselves as fiercely as possible!
These idiots will spend two whole years tearing us apart, and those two years will be Fang Huan’s golden window of opportunity to expand wildly across the globe without any constraints!”
“So, Lina,” Aiden, sitting opposite her, said with a deep weariness in his voice,
“you came to me just to vent these complaints?”
Lina looked at the once spirited president before her, now with lifeless eyes, as if his soul had been ripped from his body, and a wave of helpless sorrow washed over her.
"Mr. Aiden, I know you are very sad."
Betrayed by his most trusted secretary-general, discovering he was merely a pawn planted by Fang Huan…
Such a blow would be unbearable for anyone. But you can't just give up!”
“Give up?” Aiden let out a dry, bitter laugh.
“What else can I do?
I’ve tried everything. Every act of resistance ultimately made me look like a clown, dancing in Fang Huan’s palm.
All my struggles have only fueled their growth.
What else is worth doing?”
“No! There’s still a chance!” A flame reignited in Lina’s eyes.
“We must nip Fang Huan in the bud before he becomes an unshakeable behemoth!”
These words should have invigorated anyone, but Aiden merely smirked, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
“Believe me, Lina.
I’ve tried everything you can think of, even things you haven’t. And the result?
The more I struggled, the faster they grew.”
"What makes you think you can be an exception?"
"This time, please trust me!" Lina said firmly. "I've already worked with reliable people in the intelligence department to develop a meticulous plan!"
"...Are those people reliable?" Aiden's voice was full of doubt.
"Absolutely reliable! Every single one of them has undergone the most rigorous vetting!"
Seeing the unwavering determination in her eyes, a ripple finally stirred in Aiden's stagnant heart.
"Tell me, what's the plan?"
"A surprise attack on Fang Huan's most vulnerable overseas deployment!"
"Vulnerable vulnerability?"
"The 'Wildfire' security force in Turkey!"
"...!"
Wildfire Security.
Fang Huan's private armed group.
That ruthless mercenary group that claims to "protect global shipping and eradicate pirates and criminal organizations," but in reality, it protects and expands Fang Huan's dark empire.
This armed force is absolutely crucial to Fang Huan's terrifying reputation!
Based in Turkey, their tentacles reach across Africa, Europe, and the Americas; they are a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of countless countries!
"All of Wildfire's missions, all his shady dealings, all the original records—they're all hidden there!"
"Are you sure? What if they destroyed them?"
"My informant inside Wildfire confirmed it!
To prevent hacking, they never digitize the most critical secrets. All records are handwritten and stored in an underground archive!
Our plan is to raid that place, obtain the original evidence, and then expose it to the public!
Then, even if Fang Huan had three heads and six arms, he wouldn't escape death!"
If this is true… it will be an earth-shattering victory!
With conclusive evidence, all the countries that Fang Huan has oppressed but lacked evidence against will swarm like sharks smelling blood, tearing this beast to shreds!
