Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 766: Ready (Part 1)

Assassination is the most direct way to remove a president from office.

Lu Shaohua is a person who likes to be direct, so he agreed to the plan proposed by Li Zhijie. As for whether Lu Shaohua is cold-blooded, Lu Shaohua has no way to explain. In his opinion, this world is a world where the weak are preyed upon by the strong. If he had no ability, he would have died several times by now. Therefore, Lu Shaohua has no time to care about the life and death of others.

For Li Zhijie and his men, the death of one person was not a big deal. After all, they were mercenaries and had killed so many people that they couldn't even count them. So the death of a few more presidents didn't seem to be a big deal.

The indifference of both sides to human life also led to a series of assassinations that happened from time to time in small African countries...

Of course, this is a later story. Li Zhijie and his team have just started the plan and have not yet expanded their territory. The first task is to deal with the small African country where the Tiger Roar Base is located, control this country first, and then proceed to the next step of the plan.

Soon, Li Zhijie and his team began to act. Qian Qian, as the representative of the Tiger Roar Base, came forward to talk to the candidate who was running for president, while Li Zhijie mobilized the intelligence department to start collecting intelligence, including investigating the behind-the-scenes supporters of the Mineral Resources family.

As for Xie Jianwei, his task was more complicated. He began to mobilize the arms in the secret base and make all preparations before the war. Once the war broke out, the guns and ammunition in the secret base would be continuously shipped out to eliminate those families that wanted to resist.

The three giants of the Tiger Roar Base all have their own tasks, while Lu Shaohua, the boss behind the scenes, is quite free. When he has nothing to do, he just looks at the intelligence collected from the intelligence department to see if there is anything that can be used. If there is, he will bring it up and let Li Zhijie and others use it to increase the chances of success.

It's true that after a large amount of intelligence was sent over, Lu Shaohua actually found some intelligence that could be used, which was about another unexpected opponent. According to the intelligence, the presidential candidate of another party had done many shameful things. If this information was released, it would definitely be a fatal blow.

Before this, wasn't Li Zhijie going to make a small move to help his opponent get on the stage? Now that he had collected such intelligence, it was undoubtedly a great opportunity. How could Li Zhijie not seize it?

Facts have also proved that Li Zhijie is absolutely good at making small moves. He quickly released the intelligence he collected to help the candidates he supported gain greater advantages. Of course, Li Zhijie is not a fool. He will not release all the intelligence he collected at once, but release it bit by bit.

The reason why it has to be released bit by bit is that there is a reason. If it is released all at once, then at this critical moment of the election, the opponent will definitely minimize the impact. Once the impact is eliminated, then this advantage will no longer exist.

But if they release it bit by bit, that would be interesting. The opponent would eliminate some of the influence first, and then something unfavorable to them would happen after the influence is eliminated, and they would have to take action again. In this way, the unfavorable influence on him would continue, and they would have to act as firefighters, rushing to where the fire was.

During this critical and sensitive election period, with their rivals constantly involved in scandals, and having to devote most of their energy to putting out the scandals, do they still have a chance of winning? The answer is obvious: they don’t, not at all.

What's more, according to Li Zhijie's way of doing things, he would not just make a fuss about this matter. Li Zhijie must have many hidden tricks to bring down his opponents. Therefore, at this moment, as opponents of the Tiger Roar Base, they are doomed to fail.

Facts also confirmed everything. In the next few days, "scandals" about his competitor continued to appear. Today, it appeared that he did something that was unfair to the African people in a certain year, and tomorrow it appeared that his family used their power to do something to the African people.

In the end, that candidate was full of stains. Not only did he bully men and women, but he also abused his power for personal gain. He was simply a rat crossing the street, the kind of person that everyone wanted to beat.

At this moment, there are only three days left until the official election, and the situation has become one-sided. The supporters of the Tiger Roar Base have already stepped on the presidential throne with both feet. Unless there are major accidents, the election is a foregone conclusion.

However, before the election began, Lu Shaohua still called Li Zhijie and others together to make final preparations.

"Is everything ready?" This was Lu Shaohua's first words.

This sentence has a wide coverage, not only referring to the preparations before the election, but also including all actions after being elected.

"There is no problem on my side." Li Zhijie spoke first.

Li Zhijie is in charge of intelligence. He is responsible for collecting intelligence on the president's competitors and those families that control the gold mines. With his original foundation, it does not seem difficult for him to do these things, and it is not surprising that he has already made preparations.

"I don't have any problem either." Qian Qian also spoke up, but he felt that this answer was a bit inappropriate, so he added, "The Tiger Roar Mercenaries are all ready, and if the situation gets out of control, they can be dispatched at any time."

When finalizing the plan, Lu Shaohua said that only success was allowed and failure was not allowed, even if it was revealed in the end that the Tiger Roar Base was behind it.

It was also because of Lu Shaohua's order that Qian Qian asked the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group to prepare for combat. Once the situation got out of control, the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group would intervene in the matter.

Of course, everyone knows that the Tiger Roar Mercenaries are Lu Shaohua’s last card, and it is also a card that he has to use as a last resort. Only when the situation is completely out of control will the Tiger Roar Mercenaries come forward.

Originally, Lu Shaohua planned to control everything in secret, so the Tiger Roar Base was destined not to show up. If it showed up, everything would be exposed, which also meant that the Tiger Roar Base had established an enemy.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded and asked Qian Qian, "You didn't tell anyone about the mission, did you?"

In the past, there were spies in the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group, and although they were eventually discovered and cleared out, Lu Shaohua could not guarantee that the current Tiger Roar Mercenary Group was clean. If a spy appeared again and Qian Qian told others about the mission, wouldn't that be a leak in advance?

However, Lu Shaohua underestimated Qian Qian's vigilance. How could he treat important matters as a joke? Even if he took on some small tasks, Qian Qian would not tell him the content of the task in advance. He would usually wait until the moment before departure to tell him the content of the task.

"I didn't say anything, not a single word. I just asked the people below to prepare for battle." Qian Qian said straightforwardly.

If someone else asked such a question, Qian Qian would definitely think that the other person did not trust him, but since this question was asked by Lu Shaohua, Qian Qian would not be disgusted, because he knew that Lu Shaohua was a cautious person, and such an important matter must be handled with caution, so Qian Qian would not care so much.

Undoubtedly, Lu Shaohua asked one more question just for safety reasons. He still trusted Qian Qian. After Qian Qian said that he had not disclosed the content of the mission, Lu Shaohua nodded gently, then turned his gaze to Xie Jianwei and asked, "Brother Xie, how are your preparations going?"

Xie Jianwei is in charge of the allocation of arms. Of course, in this regard, Xie Jianwei also has to discuss one more thing with the people he supports, which is the matter of exchanging arms for gold mines. This was a goal that Lu Shaohua had already set.

Are you kidding? If the arms produced by the Tiger Roar Base appeared in the government forces of African countries, how could the outside world not be suspicious? Therefore, before that, the Tiger Roar Base must find an excuse to make the arms of the Tiger Roar Base appear legitimately.

The legitimate method is that the Tiger Roar Base and the government forces have a cooperative relationship, and the government forces exchange gold mines with the Tiger Roar Base, which is equivalent to a buying and selling relationship.

The Tiger Roar Base is the world's largest arms dealer. This is known to all countries and some major forces. The only ones who don't know are the civilians and some people without status. Therefore, if the arms of the Tiger Roar Base appear legitimately, it can be explained as a transaction between two parties, and it has nothing to do with the Tiger Roar Base.

How much arms can be exchanged for how much gold mines is what Xie Jianwei needs to talk about. Even if he is about to control this small African country, some things are better written in black and white, which makes it cleaner.

"It has been discussed." Xie Jianwei gave the answer, and then changed the subject, "Even the weapons for invading several other countries are being prepared. The production of guns and ammunition is currently being stepped up. Well, it may take some time."

Although the Tiger Roar Base is now busy controlling several small African countries, business still needs to be done. The arms business has high profits. It is impossible for Xie Jianwei and his team to stop the arms trade just to control a few countries. That would be a huge loss.

More importantly, all of the current expenses of the Tiger Roar Base come from the arms business. Once the external arms business is temporarily terminated, the Tiger Roar Base will lose a source of income and eventually end up eating up its original capital.

Fortunately, Lu Shaohua has mobilized 500 billion US dollars in funds, otherwise it would be impossible to support the operation of the Tiger Roar Base, because waging a war also requires consumption, and the gold mines exchanged for arms are real estate, so Lu Shaohua has to spend a lot of money.

Lu Shaohua obviously knew the key point here, so when Xie Jianwei said that the follow-up part was being prepared, Lu Shaohua did not blame him, but said, "We can't stop our arms business, even if we don't control these small African countries."

Controlling a few small African countries is certainly important, but Lu Shaohua decided not to let the Tiger Roar Base pay the price of suspending operations. If the Tiger Roar Base has to be suspended as a cost, Lu Shaohua would rather not control a few small African countries.
