Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1333 Looking for Trouble? (5000+ words)

"I don't want it!"

“This won’t help your superpowers at all!” Annie shook her head and refused.

"You want me, a dignified Alliance general, to be a hacker?" Wang Muxue looked disgusted.

"Hmph, so what if he's a general?"

"Aren't you just in charge of a fleet?"

"Once my hacking skills improve, I'll be able to control all of your fleets!" Yang Bo didn't try to persuade them further after hearing their words; instead, he looked sour.
"Hehe!!" The women burst into laughter upon hearing Yang Bo's words.

"I admit your hacking skills have reached a godlike level."

"However, the systems of warships are completely different from those of civilian ships, and military systems are independent. First, you need to silently breach the Alliance's military systems before you can infiltrate our fleet!"

"Moreover, the fleet itself has a security system!"

"Not to mention that our fleet also has excellent technical personnel."

"And the various weapons on our fleet, as well as the security systems made by different manufacturers!" Wang Muxue explained with a smile.

"Yang Bo, if you can control other people's warships like that, I'll learn hacking techniques from you," Annie said with a smile.

"I'm not stupid!"

"I am a white-hat hacker of the Alliance, how could I possibly attack an Alliance warship!"

"My goal is still the Federation," Yang Bo chuckled.

Both the Alliance and the Empire have very powerful military systems because the two countries have a unified military system!
Unlike the warships of the various states in the federation, which each have their own systems.

Of course, each state in the federation only has a guard fleet, while the main fleet is nominally under the control of the federal central government.

The reason why the guard fleets of the various states in the federation do not use the federal central government's system is because they are afraid that the federal central government will control their fleets.

If any state in the federation dares to hand over the authority of its guard fleet to the central government for unified management, then that state will lose its fleet and may even be annexed by the federal Madhya Pradesh.

Because the states of the federation rely not only on financial resources, but also on their own military strength.

If we hand over the authority of the patrol fleet, it's like putting the gun in someone else's hands. Then Madhya Pradesh could point a gun at us at any time and rob us however they want.

"come on!!"

"I have faith in you." Wang Muxue said this, but her expression clearly showed disbelief, even though she said she had faith in Yang Bo.

"I will prove it with facts!" Yang Bo still stubbornly insisted.

At this moment, Su Wei said, "The Federation's John Lee has issued another announcement, stating that Gut City has a close relationship with the Propaganda Killer Organization and that more than 1,400 people from Gut City have been arrested."

"Furthermore, John Lee also stated that he would continue to maintain military control over Gutra, and the next step would be to oversee the elections in Gutra, reorganize the two houses of parliament, and continue to combat terrorism."

As Su Wei spoke, she used a virtual projector to display the entire news report.

"Is this John Lee going to make some kind of deal with our alliance?" Anne asked after seeing the news.

Wang Muxue nodded: "There must be a connection. The parliament just passed a bill to sell warships to foreign countries. I originally thought it was aimed at the Federation."

"Shortly after the proposal was passed, John Lee launched a surprise attack on Gutra. It seems that John Lee reached some secret agreement with the Union government."

Upon hearing this, Sealy asked, "Then why isn't the opposition party standing up to oppose it?"

"The opposition party is also unable to make any statement on this matter because it involves the safety of more than 3,000 coalition citizens."

"Moreover, this matter has now reached a perfect conclusion for the Alliance, with the safety of at least three thousand Alliance citizens guaranteed."

"They also arrested those who kidnapped Alliance citizens."

“If anyone stands up to oppose this now, these three thousand-plus Alliance citizens will definitely be the first to protest.”

"Moreover, as long as the procedures are correct within the alliance, no one can make a fuss about this matter. Both houses of parliament have already passed the relevant bill. Anyone who objects is questioning both houses of the alliance!"

Anne nodded upon hearing this: "I reckon these members of parliament are also forced into this situation. If they don't agree to the bill and something happens to more than 3,000 citizens, then these people will definitely be dragged out by the ruling party to take the blame."

Wang Muxue nodded: "Yes, the ruling party used an open strategy this time!"

“John Lee is very clever; he made this request at that crucial juncture.”

"And the ruling coalition party just happened to be sleepy when this opportunity presented itself, as they were already worried about how to resolve the issue."

“From the moment John Lee made this request, the ruling coalition has no responsibility whatsoever. As long as the ruling party submits a bill, any problems that arise later will be the responsibility of both houses of parliament.”

"However, the opposition coalition will likely hold a grudge against John Lee."

"Therefore, John Lee will likely face considerable obstacles in his future attempts to purchase warships!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Bo said, "You underestimate John Lee too much. He's a major warlord."

"The opposition party in the alliance will have to think twice before they try to oppose us. If they anger the financial groups behind John Lee and his crew, they won't be able to have any peace!"

Wang Muxue nodded: "Those warlords in the Federation really have no sense of law when they do things, and the opposition party will definitely cause some trouble."

"Actually, it's Lee John's target of those spaceships; the insurance companies are overjoyed!"

"Anyway, for these conglomerates, no matter what happens, they always find a way to make money!"

Yang Bo nodded upon hearing this. Just how monopolistic were the alliance's conglomerates? In other words, no matter what happened, they could still make money.

If there are pirate attacks and transport ships are attacked, insurance companies will raise prices to make money, and transportation companies will also take the opportunity to raise prices.

Ultimately, the end user pays the price.

However, sometimes these politicians' minds cannot be understood using the same thinking as ordinary people.

Some say that the politicians in the alliance are basically all crazy because they often contradict themselves and their statements are incoherent.

Yang Bo decided to keep his current identity out of the spotlight.

The next step is to gradually find some security vulnerabilities in the alliance's military.

Especially in terms of warship security systems!
It would be only natural for them to acquire other warships at that time.

After spending a day on March Star, Yang Bo used the shape-shifting interstellar creatures to issue a series of commands outside Gutra State.

Three Class B warships and two Class C warships were deployed to impose military control over the entire state of Gutra.

All spacecraft entering and leaving airports must be opened for inspection.

Meanwhile, consortiums in Karaya are buying up these mortgaged properties in Gutra!
At that time, these companies and conglomerates in Karaya will be transformed into companies in Gutra, and then parliamentary elections will be held.

These people in Gutra have no chance of making their voices heard now.

Now, the heads of these companies and the people in these conglomerates are first and foremost facing the military threat from John Lee!

Then there's the debt to face!

Some companies in Gutra have alliances and imperial backgrounds.

So when Yang Bo arrived at John Lee's fleet, he received private messages from some people, and threats from others.

The heads of the federal branches of the two major companies in the alliance sent a message to John Lee.

One of these two people works for Four Seasons Network Company, which is a network software and security company!
The company sent John Lee a lawyer's letter because it is responsible for maintaining Gutra's quantum satellite system and most of Gutra's security network system.

Of course, this company is also responsible for the security maintenance of gray and black websites, including gambling sites.

Another company is HanHai Robotics, which provides a lot of security robot services to Gutrak.

Yang Bo wondered if these companies were out of their minds.

Therefore, Yang Bo directly collected some dubious evidence.

The company demanded that John Lee lift military restrictions because many robots on the planet Gutra were their property. Then, Yang Bo, posing as John Lee, started a live stream titled "Come in and judge for yourselves."

This time, Yang Bo didn't set a charge, which surprised many viewers, since Li John gives the impression of being greedy for money and always charges for his live streams.

"Everyone come in and see! I've been threatened by two companies, and they're even part of an alliance!"

"I feel disheartened. Our federation's GDP depends on foreign tourists!"

"And the Gute City and the Propaganda Killer Organization are in cahoots. The leaders of the Gute City are also the leaders of the Propaganda Killer Organization. They have kidnapped so many tourists. Will our Federation's tourism market suffer a severe blow?"

"And I was also a hostage of the rescued alliance, and now I'm being threatened by the alliance's companies!"

"Take a look at this Four Seasons Cybersecurity Company. It's one of the top 100 companies in the alliance, serving many enterprises and government agencies within the alliance!"

"But did you see that they're also working for the assassin organization's website!"

"This is Gute City, and it's also the site of the contract signed between the Assassin Organization and Four Seasons Cyber ​​Security Company!"

"Moreover, the place where the hostages kidnapped by the assassin organization are held is also a security system service provided by this cybersecurity company."

"Here's the proof."

"Furthermore, during the period when the hostages were being held, Four Seasons Cyber ​​Security Services Company had not yet upgraded the security system services for Gute City!"

"Furthermore, the fact that the members of the Propaganda Killer Organization were able to easily break into the villas where these tourists were staying is also a matter worth pondering, since the security systems of these villas were also provided by this cybersecurity company!"

"Please observe the movements of the Propaganda Killer Organization when they kidnapped the hostages!"

"They pinpointed the location of every single kidnapped hostage!" Yang Bo provided the kidnapping operation trajectory of the assassin organization!

"There's also a robot safety company!"

"They also messaged me privately, saying that many of the robots in Gutrak belong to their company!"

“I checked, and indeed many of the security robots are from their company.”

"Everyone, pay attention to these videos!"

"These are robot security services purchased by more than thirty Alliance tourists when they checked into the villa area!"

"As I understand it, these robots are supposed to protect the safety of tourists during this time period. You can see in the video that these robots did not react at all when faced with armed kidnapping by the propaganda killer organization."

"I think the alliance's companies handled this matter somewhat inappropriately."

"Before I had even fully investigated the criminal chain, these two companies jumped out so eagerly. Is there something shady going on?"

"Moreover, I feel that these two companies are somewhat disregarding the safety of the Alliance's citizens!"

"These two companies have such a large influence in Gutrak, why don't they speak out? Instead, they are upgrading the security defense system for terrorists."

"I don't know if these two companies are breaking the law, but they definitely have no moral bottom line."

"If they can do this for money today, then it's only natural that they'll betray their country and even more people in the future!"

"Here, in my capacity as Governor of Karaya, I declare a boycott of these two companies. If they have any assets in Karaya, I give them three days to get out of Karaya!"

"In addition, I will investigate the activities of the two companies in Gutra, and I will invite the Union Security Service to participate."

"There is no distinction between countries when it comes to dealing with terrorist attacks," Yang Bo said, disguised as John Lee, with an air of righteous indignation.

Yang Bo started a live stream to stir up trouble, and during the stream, he blurred several concepts!

Firstly, cybersecurity companies sign confidentiality agreements with these users, providing them with specialized cybersecurity and network system services.

Furthermore, in Gutrak, or rather the federal state, pornographic and gambling websites are legal!
Secondly, the network security system for the villa area is provided by this company, but the authority belongs to the company that operates the villa.

Secondly, regarding the robots, although the robot company provides robot services, the authority belongs to all companies in the Guter City Villa!
If they were to stir up trouble normally, these two companies could simply release their contracts and everything would be fine!

But now it involves the kidnapping of Alliance citizens.

This gave viewers of the live stream the feeling that these two companies were accomplices of terrorists, providing services to them!
Even accomplices of terrorists!

This is due to the legal differences between the Union and the Federal Government!

As a result, the stocks of these two companies plummeted instantly.

The CEOs of both companies tried to explain, but it was no use.

Angry citizens began to boycott other companies that used products from these two companies.

Other companies were aware of the legal differences, but faced with the overwhelming wave of protests, they immediately issued statements terminating their partnerships with the two companies.

After Yang Bo ended the live stream, he watched the news on the side.

Then continue arresting people in Gutra!
Both of these companies are ranked among the top 100 in the league.

But as it turns out, such a large company can go bankrupt in just a few hours.

Because these companies all have a clause in their agreements with other clients.

That is because if the companies providing the services affect our business due to public opinion or crime, then we have the right to terminate the contract and pursue liquidated damages.

Because if a cybersecurity company experiences a major security vulnerability, it will cause significant public relations damage, which will indirectly affect customers who use these secure networks.

The same applies to robotics companies, especially after the news of March Star Robotics being hacked; all clients have signed related agreements with robotics companies.

The two companies' clients have completely suspended contracts, causing their stock prices to plummet. Numerous groups have also protested, and the Department of Homeland Security has expressed concern about the matter.

Because the Department of Homeland Security bears primary responsibility for the hostage rescue.

Now that a hostage situation has been introduced, it is only natural that the Department of Homeland Security has expressed concern. However, this gives many people the wrong impression that these two companies are problematic!

Countless groups are preparing to file lawsuits!
In addition, some of the more than 3,000 hostages who were rescued are preparing to sue the two companies.

In particular, John Lee mentioned in his live stream that some people purchased robot security services after moving into the villa area!

This is just a mess!

Because within the alliance, if someone purchases a robot's security services, the robot is obligated to ensure the employer's safety during the contract period.

Even if they encounter the police, these robots will ensure the safety of the employer.

Unless it is an order signed by a judge!
Federal law is rather vague in this regard because there is little privacy at the federal level.

Therefore, the Propaganda Killer organization was able to locate these kidnapped individuals so quickly by using their communication systems.

Although the watches are part of an alliance, they use the Federation's communication system.

In addition, both companies' federal operations have been completely suspended.

In fact, if these two companies hadn't caused trouble for John Lee, the other states in the federation would have had no idea that these two companies were providing services to Gutra!

With the network system of Gutra State breached by white-hat hackers from the Union, other states in the federation certainly won't dare to use it anymore.

As for the security robot company, it's going bankrupt now, so there will definitely be no follow-up services for these robots, and they will have to be discontinued.

The two companies went from being among the top 100 in the alliance to going bankrupt in just a few hours.

There are even people on the dark web offering bounties for the shareholders and executives of these two companies.

After John Lee went live, no one dared to contact him privately anymore!

Originally, some banks wanted to contact John Lee because these people from Gutra had mortgaged their assets to these banks, and now their assets are under John Lee's military control.

The prices offered by the conglomerates in Karaya for these assets are certainly relatively low.

Now that these banks are seeing this situation, they are quickly selling off these assets!

Otherwise, if that damned John Lee leads us astray, the bank might go bankrupt!
Yang Bo started live streaming to avoid unnecessary trouble!
Because many companies in Gutra have alliances and imperial backgrounds, if we don't make a move, these companies will take advantage of us!
