America: My Time

Chapter 1049 Insidious Scheme

Chapter 1039 Insidious Scheme

The acquisition of Bentley Motors by Japan has been closely watched by the US and European automotive industries. It's a scenario neither side wants to see, as they are unwilling to witness Bentley's growth. Once the acquisition is complete, they will be facing a car group with a global sales network and a global footprint. At that time, Bentley Motors will become the world's largest automotive group, a result many dread.

Now that Mary Barra has returned to the United States, Bentley Motors has suspended negotiations with Japan, much to the relief of many. Upon learning of Japan's demands, many scoffed, shocked by Japan's ignorance and arrogance. However, they don't know if Bentley Motors has truly abandoned the acquisition, nor whether the Japanese will compromise. Under immense pressure, the Japanese are capable of anything; admitting fault is not out of the question for them. Such a situation signifies the worst-case scenario.

Oilfield Capital could remain indifferent, for a simple reason: they didn't want to continue being enemies with John, at least not now. The current situation wasn't urgent for them, but for those with ulterior motives. They didn't want to be cannon fodder again, so they did nothing, waiting for Ford, GM, and Chrysler to make their move. They were even waiting for the Europeans to act. However, what they didn't expect was that the first to act weren't these companies, but rather those from the Middle East—those from Israel!
"We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, those guys in Japan will definitely bow down and give in, and that will be a threat to us. With Nissan's production capacity, the orders in the Middle East will be completed quickly, and we will face enormous pressure. So we must stop all of this from happening!"

"Stop it? How do you think we can stop it? It's not something we can do. Besides, the US won't react to this acquisition. No matter how crazy the White House is, they won't continue to make moves at this time. As for our former comrades, we can't count on them. They have betrayed us. Now we have to take action ourselves."

"Take action? How can we take action? That's an acquisition between Japan and Bentley Motors. Do you think we can interfere with their acquisition, or that we can directly influence those guys in Japan and make them continue to make those unreasonable demands? Don't treat them like fools. That's impossible. According to our information, Mitsui is already furious. Those guys in Japan won't be able to hold out for long, after all, their economy won't last long!"

"Persuasion is useless, so we need to take direct action, to take direct action against Japan. This includes not only John's assets in Japan, but also his women and those people in China. We can't do anything about them, but it's different with the women in Japan. As long as there's a problem, even if it's not a big one, the conflict between them will be fully ignited!"

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're saying? This is a direct attack in Japan. Do you think those guys in Japan are just for show? And haven't you thought about the consequences if this gets exposed? You know the Americans are already unhappy with us for starting this conflict. If Japan causes any more trouble, we'll face the wrath of the United States."

"Who said we have to do it ourselves? We just need to use money to get those troubled Japanese to take action. Let them find any excuse to target John's company and his women. Even if they don't cause any harm, as long as someone takes action, the conflict between Japan and John will be ignited. We just need to silence them at the crucial moment. Don't say that Mossad can't do all this. If that's the case, then we need to consider our funding for them!"

"Doing it is no problem, but don't treat them like fools. Although Japan is in chaos right now, they can't be unprepared. And you don't think that little fox John would be completely unprepared, do you? Maybe he's waiting for us to make a move. So taking action is fine, but I can't guarantee what the consequences will be!"

"I know, but we have no other choice now. You don't want to see our enemies get the supplies either. Although they're just civilian vehicles, with a little modification, they can become weapons against us. You know how much we've lost lately, and this endless commotion will only make things worse for us! As for what John can think of, so what? We're not doing it ourselves. Everything is done by the Japanese; it has nothing to do with us. He has no reason to target us. And if something goes wrong, as long as the Japanese don't give John a satisfactory explanation, their conflict won't fully erupt, and our pressure will be greatly reduced." "Okay, I admit your point is valid, but it takes time. We need to make more thorough preparations, at least to prevent those Japanese guys from suspecting that we did it. As for that little fox John, he doesn't have many people in Japan, and the few he's prepared are just secretly protecting those two women. Isn't that our opportunity? If we want to target John and stop his deal with the Middle Eastern tycoon, we should target his steel mills and car factories, not his assets in Japan. So he won't even think that we're the ones who made the move."

That's true, but whether reality will be as he imagines is hard to say. Moreover, these guys in Sere are arrogant and think John's power is limited, but they forget the most important issue: the Global Positioning System. Their every move is under John's surveillance. They want to scheme against John, but how do they know that John isn't scheming against them?
“Boss, we’ve received news from the Middle East that those ‘enemies’ have made their move. Their target is Japan. Should we intercept them or take them out?” John quickly received a report from Jaguar Security Company. After so many years of establishing a presence in the Middle East, how could John easily relax his surveillance of the ‘enemies’?

"It seems they finally couldn't hold back any longer and chose this moment to make their move. It looks like our plan was very successful, and those damn bastards are under a lot of pressure. However, since they want to target me, we can't just sit idly by. Let our people prepare to infiltrate Japan silently. If they want to play games, then we'll play hard and make them pay a heavy price. Our initial plan needs to begin!"

"Yes, boss, let's get them moving!"

"Don't let me down. After so many years of preparation, I believe you can succeed!" With John's order, Jaguar Security Company sprang into action once more, and some of Japan's hidden forces began to operate. Originally, this was just a plan John hadn't intended to make a move at this time, but rather to wait for an opportunity. However, now that someone was plotting against him, John had no choice but to launch the plan ahead of schedule, diverting the trouble elsewhere!
Since someone was plotting against him, John naturally wouldn't sit idly by. He would retaliate and make these guys pay the price. After all, there's nothing these crazy guys wouldn't do. Since they chose to ambush him, they should be prepared to bear the consequences. No one can do something wrong without paying the price.

Soon, Japan became the center of the storm, but the Japanese were oblivious, still arguing endlessly about Bentley Motors' suspension of negotiations. After all, where there are people, there are conflicts. For the Japanese officials, they would naturally do all sorts of foolish things for their own interests, especially now that the situation in Japan was not ideal. These guys naturally had more arguments, but what they didn't know was that a dangerous storm was approaching them.

Although some people were on guard and made some preparations in advance, they were only trying to prevent some foolish people from causing trouble. They did not think things would get any more out of control. After all, they did not believe that there would be any foolish people in Japan who would make things get out of control and cause everything to spiral out of control.

Even the Japanese couldn't have imagined that those who wanted to assassinate John and Japan would find it easier to succeed. However, they were unaware that someone had already laid the groundwork for them. Their every move was being monitored, not by personnel, but by satellites in the sky. Everything they did was under the control of Jaguar Security Company. Everything they did was exposed, yet these guys remained completely oblivious and were acting frantically, bribing those in Japan who had fallen into madness and desperation.

However, these guys had no intention of exposing themselves. They used various methods to accomplish their goals, and their demands weren't too difficult. So, soon, some people in Japan were controlled by these treacherous bastards. For those who were already in dire straits, had lost all hope, or even had thoughts of self-destruction, this glimmer of hope drove them crazy, and they were willing to accept these people's demands.

People die for wealth, birds die for food. Under the absolute temptation of profit, those guys will do anything. They are no longer afraid of death. Since they are not afraid of death, they will not give up this opportunity to turn their lives around and get out of their predicament. That's human nature!
