Hong Kong Movies: I am Hongxing, what the hell is the intelligence king?

Chapter 345 The Limits of Patience
Is this a protest?

"Isn't this bullying us?"

Who isn't struggling every day for a few coins?

"It's very unethical to do that."

"If they force me to the point where I can't live anymore, I'll make them pay."

In the video footage, this citizen's eyes were practically spitting fire!

“What’s so interesting about an interview?” Cunningham turned off the TV casually. “Wouldn’t it be better to use that time to smoke, drink, and play cards?”

George was speechless.

Is this some kind of aristocratic scion from Chongqing?
The Empire is doomed!
"I think it looks great," George muttered to himself before explaining.

"These guys are obviously being guided by a mastermind."

"Blocking traffic and stopping commuters is an attempt to create the greatest impact in a short period of time."

"They wanted to actively attract the attention of the authorities."

"The locations they chose were very clever; they were all major transportation routes."

"The government is caught in a dilemma: to pay attention or to ignore it."

Cunningham asked with great interest,

"for example?"

George shrugged.

“If the government pays attention to them, then they will have to realize their demands.”

"Of course, their demand is for the release of the tycoon."

Cunningham kept sneering:

"How wishful thinking!"

"You think you can get us to release the tycoon with such tricks? You're dreaming."

"Just ignore it."

George shook his head directly:

"That's not OK!"

Cunningham frowned and said:

"why not?"

George shrugged:

"They're occupying a major thoroughfare."

"If we ignore them, the traffic will be blocked."

"This will disrupt the normal lives of citizens, and the complaint hotline alone will overwhelm the Dude's Mansion!"

Cunningham was at peace.

"What if it's expulsion?"

George smiled wryly:
"Judging from what we see on TV, there are clearly thousands of these guys at this location."

"How many people would it take to get this going?!"

"It will inevitably cause a lot of trouble."

Cunningham frowned.

“That’s not the most important thing,” George said, sounding rather troubled.

Cunningham asked curiously:

"Isn't that the most important thing?"

George nodded repeatedly:

"That's right, it's not the most important thing."

Hong Kong has a special location.

"The empire only has the right to govern, not the right to sovereignty. Its true sovereignty is in its homeland."

"This place connects the east and west, and is a major transportation route."

"Even the smallest thing can become a big deal."

"If we don't handle this well, we will be in a very passive position internationally."

Cunningham suddenly looked George up and down, leaving the latter bewildered.
"General, is there something wrong with me?"

Cunningham asked curiously:

"Are you sure you're a high-ranking agent from the Imperial Telecommunications Bureau?"

"Are you sure you're not a senior civil servant from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Even the newly appointed Imperial Ministers wouldn't have a deeper understanding of this matter than you."

"Did I choose the wrong career?"

“No!” George answered with a blank face.

"How did you know that?" Cunningham raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

George took a deep breath, weighing how to answer.

"Is it difficult for you?" Cunningham asked, even more curious.

“It’s not difficult at all,” George said with a wry smile. “It’s just a little embarrassing. This kind of tactic was developed by our telecommunications bureau.”

"A trick?" Cunningham asked, puzzled. "What trick?"

"Blocking traffic, creating disturbances, spreading propaganda, crying out to the outside world, and then overthrowing the local government... This is the standard tactic used by the telecommunications bureau against other countries."

George's face was as ugly as it could possibly be.

"Huh?" Cunningham was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter. He laughed so heartily that tears were about to fall.

George's face darkened further.

Who would have thought that the things the Ansar Empire had meticulously researched would ultimately be used against them?

This is an absolutely huge blunder.

It's also the most unbelievable thing.

I have to say, that boomerang went in pretty deep.

"General, this isn't funny." George was in agony; he could already imagine the interrogation in the foggy city, and he'd have to work overtime writing reports again!
Cunningham ignored George and continued to laugh wildly, saying as he laughed...
"I said I felt something was wrong with this matter, and it turns out there's a strong stench of decay from Chongqing."

"This is hilarious!"

George looked at Cunningham helplessly. He didn't find it funny at all; it wasn't a funny thing to begin with.

"Does such a ridiculous plan really have a chance of succeeding?" Cunningham asked curiously only after he had finished laughing. "How could such a ridiculous plan possibly succeed?"

“That’s not how it works,” George said seriously. “General, according to our research, this is the least expensive plan.”

"Most importantly, this thing is launched by the enemy's own people, and the empire guides public opinion from the outside, making it very easy to overthrow."

"To be honest, this tactic works very well."

"That's how those countries in the Red Alliance fell."

Cunningham was disdainful:

"That's because they treat their own people as human beings."

"However, it turns out that they are not fit to be human."

"If you're ruthless enough, your plan is utter nonsense."

"In my opinion, it actually helped the other party eliminate the potential danger."

“Like the red bear, they deliberately carry out the slaughter.”

"It's only those small countries that can't stop it."

"But then again, if it were a small country, it wouldn't be so complicated to deal with them."

Cunningham was very dismissive.

George shrugged, not bothering to argue with him about these things.

"Based on your telecommunications bureau's predictions, how will things develop next?"

George explained,
"That depends on how the Governor's Mansion responds."

"No matter how we respond, the media should keep up."

"However, this is a plan formulated by our telecommunications bureau, and we naturally have corresponding countermeasures."

To put it simply, it's about cutting through the Gordian knot.

"We didn't give them any chance to succeed at all."

Cunningham thought for a moment, then shook his head:

"No, let this continue."

George was taken aback:
"General!"

Cunningham remained indifferent.
"The key to the tycoon's business lies not in Hong Kong, but in Chongqing and Beijing."

"Although Hong Kong is making a lot of noise, it can't really decide anything."

Cunningham saw things very clearly.

"I don't know who is plotting behind the scenes for the tycoon, but I do know one thing: in the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are as ridiculous as clowns."

George immediately tensed up:

"General, this is what I'm worried about. Will the capital city object?"

Cunningham calmly said:

"will not!"

George wondered:
"why?"

Cunningham smiled and said:

“This is Hong Kong, so it naturally attracts attention. If something really happened, people from Chongqing would have called us long ago.”

"So much time has passed, and there hasn't been a single word from them."

"That means our hometown doesn't care about this kind of thing," George exclaimed.
"That's a very wealthy man."

"So what?" Cunningham said dismissively. He glanced at the little guy in front of him, thought for a moment, and then gave a reminder, "Never try to guess the thoughts of the big shots back home using the thoughts of our empire."

"In the Western world, the rich are the most important."

"However, back in my hometown, even the rich are just ordinary people!"

"They are nothing special."

"Most importantly, the people in my hometown have very high moral standards, and they hate people who are rich but heartless."

Are the rich heartless?

George involuntarily watched television, paid his employees to block traffic and force the Duchess's House to make concessions. No matter how you look at it, it cannot be associated with "benevolence and righteousness".

The actions of the Dafuhao Group could not be kept secret from those who were interested.

They suddenly gave so many employees triple pay, right at the crucial moment when the tycoon was arrested. If these people still don't understand what this means, then they might as well quit.

The empire knows, and naturally, our homeland will know too.

Hong Kong is part of my hometown, and the empire doesn't have a spy law.

No matter how you look at it, their hometown should have received the news by now.

Even if their hometown didn't know before, they should know now, and there are plenty of people who will pass on the message to them.

George firmly believed this.

Suddenly he remembered Lin Feng. It seemed that Lin Feng had said that even people from his hometown had to buy information from him.

George didn't find it strange that Lin Feng was cooperating with his hometown.

As an intelligence broker, the best partners are naturally nations.

However, this made George even more shocked by Lin Feng's power. The country possessed overwhelming power, yet even so, Lin Feng still had information that his hometown needed.

What an enormous power this is!
That's absolutely terrifying.

"We absolutely must not offend Lin Sheng!"

"Otherwise, you won't even know how you died!"

Cunningham said calmly,

"You really don't need to worry about your hometown."

"At least we don't need to worry about that."

George quickly laughed and said:

"If the general says there's nothing to worry about, then there's naturally nothing to worry about."

"How's it going in Chongqing?"

That's what he asked, but George had already figured out that as long as his hometown didn't get involved, the situation in Chongqing was no big deal.

“Hahaha.” Cunningham burst into laughter. “George, you should have some faith in us.”

“General, we must not be careless,” George said seriously. “The little tycoon has already gone to the Fog City. He has the support of Shen Daban behind him.”

“Fog City isn’t my hometown; it’s a place for the rich.” George seemed slightly worried. It was good news that his hometown didn’t care. “Even the bigwigs in Fog City have to listen to those big spenders.”

“No, no, no!” Cunningham said, shaking his finger as he puffed on his cigar. “If it were just Grand Duke Andrei alone, it would naturally be very difficult for him to control the wealthy family.”

"However, things are different now."

"The actions of the wealthy tycoon have united the nobles of the empire."

“True nobles must also have considerable influence in the government.”

"Grand Duke Andrei isn't very influential in noble circles, but that's only relative. After all, he's a wealthy man!"

"By the way, let me tell you something. Although the ministers of the Fog City are terrible at doing practical things, they have an innate wisdom when it comes to how to kick a dog when it's down."

"It's obvious that the wealthy family is a drowning dog."

"With the cooperation of those big shots, we will definitely wipe the tycoon's family clean."

"You can rest assured about that!"

Cunningham was quite proud.

George was utterly speechless. What's so great about having an IQ? What's there to be proud of?

However, upon reflection, it seems that this has been the empire's tradition for hundreds of years.

That's all!
“General, that may be true, but we can’t let the little tycoon have it easy.” George was still worried.

“George, you are indeed a rare talent in the Telecommunications Bureau,” Cunningham said bluntly, “but you started from too low a social class and don’t know how we nobles operate.”

"It's still very simple for us single people."

"Especially guys who have their own clear interests to pursue."

"Then how do I handle it?" George asked humbly, as this was a point he urgently needed to address.

"If we don't devour this young tycoon completely, we'll be unworthy of the family crest!" Cunningham grinned. "The young tycoon is in a hurry, but we're not!"

"Let him stay a little longer before we talk about it."

"What do you think about letting him stay for a month?"

"Absolutely not!" George exclaimed urgently. "The rich kid went with money. If he manages to persuade some important person with money, things will be terrible!"

"Those who haven't received an aristocratic education are such a hassle," Cunningham couldn't help but roll her eyes and say irritably.

"George, you're usually so smart but you've made a foolish mistake. If you don't let the little tycoon stay in Chongqing any longer, how will he spend the money he carries with him?"

"Are we supposed to let the young tycoon bring all that money back?"

"The various consumer venues in Chongqing need to be stimulated by consumption."

"We've finally met a big client. If we don't rip him off, wouldn't that be a waste of our reputation?"

George suddenly realized his mistake and cursed himself for being stupid!
Understood!
Everything is clear!
The noblemen of the foggy city have reached a consensus: they genuinely want to keep the young tycoon around and exploit him to the fullest extent of their power.

It turned his hope into despair.

Those noble families are truly heartless!
absolute!
At this point, George suddenly had a thought:
"General, should we cooperate with the enemy?"

"How will you cooperate?" Cunningham asked, quite puzzled.

“I prepared some special treatment for Hong Kong beforehand,” George replied with a grin.

"What is it?" Cunningham wondered.

"Actually, it's nothing much, just to make a fuss during the Big Rich Group employees' march," George replied.

“Oh, you’re going to bring out a few dead people?” Cunningham suddenly remembered. “No rush, it’s not time yet.”

"Where else would a protest result in a death in the first three days? The impact would be too bad."

George was speechless. General, you've changed. When did you become so kind?

"

"But this is still bearable."

"If someone dies at this time, it won't have much impact on the Dafuhao Group."

George's heart skipped a beat:
"what do you mean?"

“It’s necessary, but the timing has to be right!” Cunningham answered without hesitation. “It has to be when people’s emotions have accumulated to a certain level, when they are about to explode but haven’t yet.”

"Only in this way can we achieve the maximum effect."

“George, you are a senior agent of the Telecommunications Bureau. People in your line of work have a good understanding with us.”

"In the local dialect, it is said that a kind heart cannot command an army, and a righteous heart cannot manage finances."

"The citizens of Hong Kong are not subjects of my empire. In fact, even the people of the empire themselves, we don't care about them."

"Not to mention the citizens of Hong Kong."

“I have high hopes for you. I believe you will definitely become a very important figure in the empire in the future, which is why I am saying this to you.”

George nodded repeatedly; Cunningham was indeed trying his best to teach him.

"General, I'll make the arrangements right away!"

“You must find the right balance,” Cunningham cautioned. “Not too early, not too late.”

"Don't worry, General, I will!" George got up and left. Back in his office, he asked Elizabeth, "What did Zhongyixin say?"

“I have already handed those Number Fours over to them,” Elizabeth replied. “I believe they will complete the mission, even if it’s just for those Number Fours!”

"Call Zhongyixin and halt the operation!" George ordered. "Make them follow orders."

Elizabeth immediately went to carry it out.

"Boss, the foreigners want us to postpone our operation." Lian Haodong cursed. "The foreigners have no self-control at all, they change their minds three times a day, it's really annoying."

"You must remain calm in the face of important matters," Lian Haolong admonished. "How old are you? Do I have to remind you every time?"

Lian Haodong dared not say more.

"Alright, you two are clearly brothers, why do you always say things like that?" Su Su quickly smoothed things over. "The foreigners are quite trustworthy. They gave away so many No. 4s for free this time. This is pure profit for them."

"Ah Dong, you don't want to complete this mission?"

Susu is very understanding.

"If that's the case, I'll have Ah Fa come!"

"Sister-in-law, what are you saying?" Lian Haodong quickly explained. He didn't want to offend Su Su, who was his cash cow. If it weren't for Su Su's help, he would have been embarrassed at Liang Kun's banquet long ago.

"Killing a few people is nothing; I can just assign someone to do it."

"What angers me is that I wanted to take action today, but the foreigners forced me to stop."

"Those guys from the Big Rich Group are really annoying. Of all things to do, they dare to block traffic."

"It's ruined our business!"

Lian Haodong's face was contorted with rage.

In this world, money is everything; risking your life for it is only right.

He's a guy with no morals; all he does is try to make money.

The Dafuhao Group has blocked his path to making money, which is absolutely intolerable; they must be eliminated.
