America: My Time

Chapter 1506 An Unexpected Appearance

Chapter 1496 An Unexpected Occurrence
Greed can drive some people mad and make them lose their minds. In the shadows, many people have begun to covet Bell Labs, wondering if John's biggest secret lies within it. They are all waiting for the right moment, after all, no one dares to underestimate John's security capabilities. The strength of Jaguar Security Company is not just for show!

"Are you all ready? Bell Labs is likely to cause a lot of trouble again. Also, we need to take this opportunity to quickly complete all preparations in the Middle East and show those guys what's what, putting more pressure on the Middle Eastern tycoons. If we don't seize this opportunity now, it would be a huge disservice to those old guys' madness. With them keeping things in check, no one will suspect us. How long until we can complete the system upgrade for the Middle Eastern tycoons!" John said, glancing at the Jaguar Security personnel in front of him. It was better to leave such matters to professionals.

"It'll be soon. The Middle Eastern tycoons are terrified and fearful. After all, they don't want their lives to be threatened. But is it too fast for us to act now? Even if we have made many preparations, it will still arouse the suspicion of the Middle Eastern tycoons. After all, they didn't trust us at the beginning. These guys have always been wary of us!"

"You're too honest. What we want is for them to be suspicious. If they're not suspicious, how can we take action? They can suspect us, but do you think they won't suspect those traitors? At least we haven't betrayed them. If something really goes wrong, the first person they'll think of won't be us, but those guys."

John paused slightly at this point before continuing, "Now is the perfect time. We haven't finished upgrading the system for the Middle Eastern tycoons. If someone attacks their system vulnerabilities at this time, what kind of reaction do you think it will cause? Do you think those Middle Eastern tycoons will be even more nervous and scared, and will do everything they can to make us speed up the system upgrade for them, and it will be a comprehensive upgrade!"

Upon hearing his boss's words, the Jaguar Security Company employee was taken aback. Now he understood the gap between himself and the big boss. He realized he had been too naive, and his methods and schemes were too weak. Looking at his boss's calculations, it was a brilliant move that solved all the problems at once!
"Boss, I understand. Let's get them moving. It's just a bit difficult to get them to penetrate deep into Israel's territory. Those guys are very wary of us, and we've already withdrawn. Going back in won't be easy. If we make any sudden moves, they might even notice us!"

Upon hearing this, John shook his head and said, "Foolish. The action I gave you was not to have your people attack the Middle Eastern tycoon's system, but to have you do everything you can to help the Middle Eastern tycoon, to keep the Jaguar Security Company people and the personnel withdrawn from there under the Middle Eastern tycoon's watchful eye, and to have the people here carry out the actual work."

There were some things John didn't want to say. From the beginning, he had made many backup plans, so if he wanted to scheme against those guys, he could do it, since he had designed those backdoors in advance.

John never let Jaguar Security handle the technical issues because they couldn't do it; John only wanted them to do the things that were out in the open.

What does it mean to be ruthless? The Jaguar Security personnel have just witnessed it. Although they don't know their boss's overall plan, just looking at their own part of Jaguar Security, they understand how crazy and terrifying this game back home is. But all this pressure won't be borne by the boss; it will be borne by those Middle Eastern tycoons and their enemies. As long as the Middle Eastern tycoons are scared, they will add money to quickly complete the system upgrade, or even destroy their entire network!

"Boss, should we remind them at crucial moments?"

"Of course we have to remind them, otherwise how can we gain their trust? Only in this way can we maximize our interests. At the same time, we need to tell them that we have more projects to work with them on, especially in aircraft. Now those bastards in the military are continuing to put pressure on Gulfstream Aerospace, and the F-22 fifth-generation fighter jet has also been affected. These guys want to use this project to put pressure on me, and I need to solve this problem!"

As John said this, a hint of madness flashed in his eyes. Because of his involvement, the research and development speed was accelerating, and the military guys had also paid a considerable price. Perhaps it was time to make a decision and give the military guys a strong counterattack, letting them know that they didn't necessarily need the military's orders.

However, before turning against the military, he needs to firmly grasp the control of the Middle Eastern tycoons, secure their financial support, and accelerate Gulfstream Aerospace's comprehensive transformation. After all, dragging things out for too long won't be good for him either. Everyone is currently strategizing and calculating against each other; who will have the last laugh depends on their respective strengths.

While those old fogies were captivated by John's vision of the big data era, and seeing him pave a new path that would allow him to maintain his semiconductor chip business unaffected, a crisis erupted in the Middle East. The weapons and networks of Middle Eastern tycoons were attacked, not to destroy everything, but to seize control of their weapons—all thanks to John's cunning.

"Oh no! The system has been attacked. Some vulnerabilities have been activated. Someone is infiltrating your network, and they even want to obtain all your data and your weapons. Cut off the network immediately!"

Inside the secret base of a Middle Eastern tycoon, personnel from Jaguar Security Company were shouting, as were those who came to help them upgrade their systems; each of them had a look of shock in their eyes.

"Damn it, how dare they do this? Aren't they afraid of starting a war?" The military of the Middle Eastern tycoon was also shocked by what they saw. They never expected such an unexpected turn of events. "What's the use of saying all this now? Didn't I warn you before to cut off all networks and prevent them from contacting the outside world? Why didn't you do that? Wasn't this clearly giving those guys a chance to launch a sneak attack? If we hadn't reacted quickly and stopped their intrusion in time, they would probably know all your secrets, and they would also have control of your weapons. If you want to die, don't drag us down with you. We're just here to help you upgrade your system, not to risk our lives!" At this moment, the people helping the Middle Eastern tycoon upgrade his system were cursing and swearing. They were all shocked by this sudden turn of events and were terrified!
"How could this happen? We've already cut off all internet access to the outside world. This shouldn't be happening!"

"Cut off? You call this cutting off contact with the outside world? How did they manage to hack into your system and try to take all the data from it, even gain control of your weapons? What's even more insane is that those bastards are also hacking into our global positioning system. Do you know how much impact this would have on us if they had succeeded? If we hadn't upgraded our system immediately, our satellites would have been hacked. Do you understand?"

"Alright, calm down. This isn't their fault; it was intentional. This time, it wasn't just one wave of attackers, but several. And they're very familiar with this system. Luckily, we've already completed most of it, otherwise they would have successfully hacked it." At this point, the head of Jaguar Security Company turned to the Middle Eastern tycoon and said, "There's a traitor among your personnel, or rather, someone connected to those traitors. This time, it wasn't just our system that was attacked, but others as well. This is no small matter. We were able to help you block the intrusion this time, but we won't be so lucky next time. If someone else leaks information, it will still be very dangerous!"

"Damn it, have they gone mad? We've already warned them!" The Middle Eastern tycoon's face instantly darkened upon hearing this. Being betrayed was a bitter pill to swallow. This situation filled him with rage, because there were indeed people within their ranks who sympathized with the 'traitors,' and some even wanted to provide them with new weapons and network communication assistance. Therefore, his first suspicion wasn't about Jaguar Security or Gulfstream Aerospace, but rather about those within their own ranks!

"I don't know if they're crazy or not, but there's one thing I need to tell you. After this incident, we need to report to our superiors. We will make more arrangements and preparations. At the very least, we will change our system identification so that it is no longer the same as yours, since you have internal problems. If possible, I hope that your weapons will not be powered on under normal circumstances, otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will not be a small matter, and the consequences will be something you cannot afford."

"I'd like to speak with your boss, Mr. John. I want to know if there's anything wrong with this system!"

"Going to our boss won't help. System security isn't something the boss can solve; it's a problem within your own organization. If there isn't a traitor, then it's either negligence on your part, or you didn't take our warnings seriously and failed to cut off communication with the outside world, giving the enemy an opportunity. However, that possibility is very small. I'm more inclined to believe that there's a traitor within your organization; otherwise, they wouldn't have launched a sneak attack at this time, trying to infiltrate your system. It's just a pity they underestimated our capabilities, or perhaps more accurately, our security defenses."

"Can you lock their IP address?" The Middle Eastern tycoon looked at everyone present with anticipation.

"No, they're too fast, and someone is helping them. Before our counterattack is even complete, they've already cut off our network. But the only thing we can be sure of is that they're in the Middle East. The most likely candidates are your enemies or those traitors. I believe they've sold everything for the sake of so-called 'peace'."

After obtaining the information he wanted from Jaguar Security, Gulfstream Aerospace, and Bell Labs, the Middle Eastern tycoon quickly left to report the incident to his superiors. As for how to handle the underlying issues, that was not his decision.

"Is it possible that this accident wasn't what they said, but rather something they caused themselves to put pressure on us and force us to part ways with those people?" After understanding everything, someone voiced their doubts. After all, not everyone believed John, Jaguar Security, Bell Labs, and Gulfstream Aerospace!

"That possibility does exist, but it's almost impossible. After all, our relationship with Mr. John hasn't reached that level yet, and if they wanted to scheme against us, they wouldn't need to do this. If something went wrong, it would have a significant impact on them as well. Moreover, if they wanted to control our systems and weapons, they wouldn't need to do this unnecessary thing. I don't believe they wouldn't have left backdoors in our weapons and systems."

"That's right, I agree with the prince's statement. If Jaguar Security wanted to take action against us, they wouldn't need to go through all this trouble. They have the capability to do everything without anyone noticing, so quietly that we wouldn't even be able to detect it. Also, they said someone was hacking into Gulfstream Aerospace's GPS system, which further proves that they weren't the ones doing it. After all, they wouldn't need to risk such an important resource! Furthermore, according to our understanding, Mr. John doesn't have the energy for that right now. He's currently fighting against those conglomerates in the United States and is preoccupied with the semiconductor chip war."

"If that's the case, it means we need to prepare for the worst, heed the advice of Jaguar Security personnel, and make sure our network is independent, and even upgrade our civilian network!"

“It’s difficult. Although they are trying their best to speed things up, they can’t do it with their current manpower. To complete the upgrade quickly, they need more people. I don’t think they are willing to do that unless we can persuade Mr. John to come forward and persuade them. Otherwise, it’s impossible!” The Middle Eastern prince’s first thought was to discuss it with John. In his view, only John could solve the problem smoothly. Otherwise, it was impossible for them to do it.
