Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1329 A Deceptive Idea

The Secretary of Homeland Security felt a wave of relief upon seeing the expressions on the faces of these lawmakers!
I can't be the only one threatened!

Now let's see what choices you legislators make.

These members of parliament are now cursing John Lee in their hearts!

Shouldn't the government be responsible for such a trivial matter as rescuing hostages? Why has it been pushed onto parliament?
Shouldn't this be a matter for the president, vice president, and all the government members?

Are we, the members of Congress, just supposed to sit here and keep an eye on these guys?
Why is the responsibility now falling on our parliament?
John Lee is nothing but an opportunist!
“I don’t think we can sell a Class A warship to John Lee, because there’s no precedent for that in the Alliance,” one of the councilors said.

"I agree with this congressman, and I also oppose arms sales!"

"I agree with what this congressman said!"

"I agree too!" Opposition lawmakers echoed in agreement upon hearing this.

Because opposition lawmakers are hoping the hostage rescue operation will go wrong so they can impeach the president and vice president, and then get rid of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Secretary of Defense, and so on!
"Hey, hey, hey, I haven't finished speaking yet." The councilor who had spoken earlier quickly added when he saw that many people agreed with his proposal.

If the hostage rescue fails, these guys will definitely take the blame, saying that they disagreed with the arms sale and that John Lee did not participate in the rescue.

"I abstain! I abstain!" the congressman shouted.

"Your Excellency, this is not a market, nor a supermarket, nor a bar!"

"You have to take responsibility for what you say. Are you sure you oppose arms sales?" Other members of parliament immediately tried to shut him up.

“But the situation is special now, so I think everyone should reconsider!” the congressman said.

"So what exactly do you mean?"

"Agree or disagree?" Some people had long disliked certain individuals in the council for their loud and boisterous manner, always rushing to speak out on everything. Now, they wanted to put those people in a difficult position.

The Secretary of Homeland Security is acting like nothing happened because he no longer has the power to make decisions.

He was secretly hoping that all the hostages would be killed by those assassin organizations!
Because that would get rid of those annoying politicians.

The Speaker of the House and others were also cursing inwardly.

"I suggest we hold a secret ballot!"

"However, I want to solemnly remind everyone that this concerns the safety of more than three thousand citizens of our alliance!" The Speaker of the House of Representatives could only come up with this solution because open discussion and voting would likely not yield results in the short term.

None of the members of the House of Representatives said anything when they heard this.

This doesn't resemble a parliament at all!

Because in the past, every vote on a bill would cause huge disputes.

Some people agreed, some disagreed, some cursed, and some were even prepared to take action.

Each proposal takes a long time to process.

This is the first time I've ever experienced such quiet!

The following members of parliament are not unwilling to speak, but unable to, because it involves more than three thousand hostages. If anyone speaks up, there will be problems later.

There will definitely be shameless people who will try to shift the blame onto themselves.

"Now we will begin a secret ballot vote on whether to sell Class A warships to the State of Karaya!" The Speaker of the House of Representatives, somewhat uneasy at the silence, continued.
Then on the big screen, there was one "oppose" and one "agree".

Although it is a secret ballot, if problems arise in the end, it involves more than 3,000 citizens, which is a big deal.

If the relevant departments review the parliamentary voting process, they might find out that they cast a dissenting vote.

Because if you want to find out who voted in favor and who voted against, you can clearly find out.

Therefore, the proposal was passed with an unusually high approval rate of 85%.

The Speaker of the House is also quite cunning; this bill has no direct connection to the hostages.

Today, we are only voting on an arms sales bill.

Fifteen percent of people abstained from voting!

The bill was then quickly submitted to the Senate.

The Senate also held an internal vote; the Senate was merely a review process.

The Senate passed the bill with 80 percent of the votes in favor, and the remaining votes were abstentions.

Then the pressure shifted to the Secretary of Homeland Security!
Yang Bo was waiting for the Alliance Homeland Security Minister's reply in Lee John's fleet!

Meanwhile, Yang Bo has already taken control of the fleet and is heading to Gutra.

Because Yang Bo knew the league had no other choice!

This method will have no effect on either the Empire or the Federation.

The empire wouldn't care about the lives of a few thousand ordinary people.

Of course, if someone were to kidnap several thousand nobles, the empire would immediately dispatch its main fleet!
As for the Federation!
If a federal citizen is kidnapped abroad, the federal government will not react at all.

Because the internal structure of the federation is inherently quite loose!
If those powerful figures in the Federation were kidnapped, their families would issue bounty missions to other assassin guilds, mercenary guilds, or adventurer guilds.

"Sir John Lee, our council has passed the resolution to sell you a Class A warship!"

"The matter concerning the three thousand hostages is not what we are discussing today!"

"Our alliance will not yield to any threat!" The Alliance's Homeland Security Secretary sent a message to John Lee.

Upon seeing this news, Yang Bo naturally understood what these bureaucrats were thinking.

"What three thousand hostages?"

"Has Your Excellency misunderstood something?" Yang Bo immediately questioned the other party!
"Great!!" The Minister of Homeland Security of the Union breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then please send someone to negotiate the arms sales contract as soon as possible, Mr. John Lee!" the Minister of Homeland Security of the Union said directly.

Yang Bo replied with a single word: "Okay!"
Yang Bo naturally knew that this was a private deal. As long as the person was rescued, there would be no problem negotiating the arms sale.

It's impossible to talk before rescuing the people.

As for whether the league will back out later!

Yang Bo believes that won't happen, because those politicians don't want trouble.

If the league goes back on its word, then John Lee will expose this whole thing!
Whether it's true or false, these politicians will all be fired.

Because too many people are eyeing their location.

Of course, there will probably be some people who oppose the arms sales to the alliance, but the biggest opponent should be the alliance itself.

Therefore, the Union president directly summoned the federal ambassador to urge the federal government to resolve the hostage issue as soon as possible.

At the same time, they urged Guterres City to rescue the hostages as soon as possible.

However, the federal government is powerless to do anything about it and can only urge Guterres and the state of Guterres to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

The state of Guterres has also stated that Guterres City must resolve the issue.

However, Guterres made excuses, saying that he had difficulties and that he needed to ensure the safety of the hostages.

This incident caused a huge sensation within the league.

Moreover, those in the alliance, seeing the reaction from the Federation, also protested.

This is exactly the effect these politicians in the alliance want, so they're increasingly pushing this direction!
Moreover, the Propaganda Killer organization added fuel to the fire during this period. Seeing such a strong reaction from so many people within the Alliance, the Propaganda Killer organization wanted to put pressure on the Alliance.

Then they released a video showing the assassin organization violently abusing Alliance citizens.

They then threatened the coalition government that it must unfreeze all bank accounts associated with the Propagandist Killer organization.

They also need to destroy the materials of the propagandist killer organization.

The propagandist killer organization had no idea that this was a deliberate manipulation by the alliance's politicians.

Of course, he had no idea that he was about to face annihilation!
After the video was released, the entire Union was outraged.

The federal embassy was vandalized with paint!

"Tsk tsk!!"

"These assassins are all idiots!"

"I never expected to kill multiple birds with one stone!" Yang Bo returned to March Star and closely followed the news, only to discover that the assassin organization had actually brought about its own demise.

Of course, this was also due to information asymmetry, because the city of Gut, including Gutla State, and even the assassin organization all thought that the alliance had no way to deal with it.

Because the alliance cannot send troops to rescue the hostages!
Meanwhile, the federal government is busy fighting against the pirate alliance.

Even under normal circumstances, Gutra would not allow the federal government to interfere in its affairs!

John Lee's fleet entered a state of silent navigation.

It is expected to take another week to reach Gutra.

It will take another two days to reach the star system where Gutrabang is located via a space jump point!

Gutrak is a popular tourist destination because many tourists from the Union come here to hunt, enjoy seeing huge wild animals, and witness the resurrected ancient creatures.

Of course, this place has also attracted many research institutions from the alliance to invest in research here!

Because of the high oxygen content here, people from other places feel very comfortable at this high altitude.

At low altitudes, it can be uncomfortable, and you may need to take medication to suppress oxygen levels.

Of course, it is also because of the high oxygen content that the plants and animals on this planet are all enormous.

In addition, because this planet is well protected, many of its animals and plants are free from pollution.

All the media outlets in the league are now reporting on this matter, and countless groups and organizations have come out to protest.

Yang Bo chuckled to himself.

Then Yang Bo prepared some hacking tools, intending to hack into Gutra State before Lee John could make a move.

Because Gutra, like other planets in the Federation, has many gambling websites and many pornographic websites.

There are also various darker live streams.

Therefore, there are many servers set up there!
Yang Bo plans to hack into these gambling websites, as well as the databases of pornographic websites!
Then download all the materials!

Moreover, Yang Bo stood on the side of righteousness this time.

"Yang Bo!!" Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin called Yang Bo.

The two of them had actually called each other a long time ago, but they couldn't get through.

"Huh?" Yang Bo answered the phone and then realized that the two of them had sent him a lot of messages.

"Is it really you?" Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin, who manage the company, naturally knew Yang Bo's identity as a white hat hacker, since the company was responsible for handling the bounties for white hat hackers.

Because Yang Bo left his white-hat hacker alias on the other party's website.

Yang Bo could have chosen not to use the pseudonym of a white-hat hacker, but he originally wanted to become famous, so he wasn't afraid at all.

Besides, who told you, the propagandist assassin organization, to put a bounty on your own head?

You need to give people the impression that whoever targets you, you will deal with them to the death!
Another reason is to showcase his exceptional hacking skills, laying the groundwork for him to find a warship in space later on.

A super, super skilled hacker finds some unmanned warships in space!

This makes perfect sense!

"it's me!"

"Yang Bo, you're amazing!"

"Yang Bo, I never expected you to be such a skilled hacker." Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin were both surprised by Yang Bo's abilities; they hadn't been able to believe it after seeing his codename.

The media has already explained how difficult it is to break into the website of the Propagandist Killer organization, access their backup database, and scramble it!
"Don't tell anyone," Yang Bo said, pretending to speak.

"So what are you doing now?" Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin asked again.

"I'm busy right now. You'll see the news in a few days," Yang Bo said before hanging up the phone.

Yang Bo quickly created hacking tools, this time targeting everyone in Gutra!
Not only do we need to hack into their gray websites, but we also need to donate all the money in all their accounts in those cities.

Of course, Yang Bo will not donate this money to any organization in the league.

Yang Bo will donate all of this money to Madhya Pradesh.

Because Yang Bo made Lee John take over Gutra State in his capacity.

For Governor John Lee to take over Gutra, he first needs the approval of the federal government!

How can we get the federal government to agree to John Lee's governorship of Gutra?

So Yang Bo came up with this treacherous plan.

How could the money that's already in the federal government's pocket possibly be taken out?

The federal government was originally controlled by Madhya Pradesh, but now Madhya is fighting pirates so fiercely that the government's finances are already empty and there is a huge deficit.

The money from Gutra has gone into the federal government and there's no way it will be returned.

Because Yang Bo would deposit the money into their donation account.

The federal government will certainly not allow the original group of people in Gutra to govern Gutra.

Since the same people used to govern Gutrak, these people will definitely try every means to get their money back!
Since John Lee had already taken armed control of Gutra, the federal government turned a blind eye.

After John Lee took control of Gutra, he was not entitled to reclaim the money!
Those who originally lived in Gutram who wanted their money back had to apply in the name of Gutram.

However, they cannot control the fact that Gutra has no such designation.

"hey-hey!!"

"My reputation will be even greater then!" Yang Bo knew, of course, that this would make him even more enemies, but what are enemies if you don't have money!
"And this time I've gained so many benefits!"

"Yang Bo's reputation as the number one has been completely established."

"Secondly, John Lee also benefited!"

"Moreover, the benefits are significant. Not only can we purchase A-class warships, but we can also control an additional planet."

"Thirdly, I'm afraid no one will dare to take on the mission to kill me again!" Yang Bo thought to himself with a smug smile, and began to write hacking tools.

Seeing the chaos within the alliance and the numerous groups protesting the current government, the Propaganda Killer organization released another video of hostage abuse and demanded the handover of the hackers.
