Chapter 543: Chapter 354 Organizational Program

In 1969, an inventor named Knight drew inspiration from a creature named Int the spider. By imitating the spider’s web-spinning through bionics, he invented the Internet.

And so, the world had the Internet...

Once, the land across the ocean was a country riding on the wheels of a carriage.

But now, it truly lies sprawled atop the Internet.

Gryffindor... cough! I mean, the four giants of FAAG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Google) ravage all corners of the world.

Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, Si Ke, IBM, and many other underlings show their fangs and claws, continuously extending their influence through the Internet.

If there’s one technology that’s been the greatest contributor to driving the country from its original "isolationism" to "interventionism"...

It is undoubtedly the Internet!

It’s not only a tool for exporting ideals and institutional models but also a sharp instrument for intelligence gathering!

If the equipment and software are mine, wouldn’t entering someone else’s house be as easy as strolling through my own backyard?

With the Eight Extraordinary Meridians flowing throughout the body and tendrils spread across the globe, the CIA finds its usual operations a walk in the park with such "innate posture."

In a boring afternoon tea, Naji could pick up a Bluetooth headset and hear the whispers between the Iron Lady of Germany and her husband...

Who else in the world can do so?!

Then you have the other four little brothers of the "Five Eyes Alliance" providing full support, making the CIA’s intelligence harvesting as easy as activating an unstoppable cheat in a game, hardly more difficult than reaping leeks.

But somehow, over time, the era changed...

Out of nowhere, a "communication technology integrated solution provider" named Hua Wei burst onto the scene!

From massive communication stations and undersea cables to small smart wearables and smartphone chips!

This once-obscure rising communications company has become an entity not even the world police can ignore.

Number one in communication infrastructure technology, number one in the number of communication patent applications.

In carrier business and enterprise business, the top in the world.

And recently, they’ve even started to exert force on consumer business, giving Apple, who once reigned supreme globally, a solid thrashing.

In just the first quarter of 2018 alone, Apple’s sales in Country Hua fell by 20%, with most of its market share in high-end phones eroded by Hua Wei.

According to a recent CIA forecast, in this year’s Q3, it’s highly likely that Hua Wei’s global smartphone business will surpass Apple, sitting at number two and eyeing the first place.

Only Samsung trembles ahead...

Naji isn’t concerned about Apple’s annual performance report; what he cares about is the other side steadily eating away at their intelligence gathering garden at a visibly rapid pace!

During the 4G era, they still held considerable advantages, but once 5G technology is implemented a year or two from now, the world will see a new wave of communication infrastructure upgrades...

The CIA has held several meetings internally to assess the situation.

The assessment agreed that if Hua Wei isn’t contained, its existence will significantly increase the difficulty of their global intelligence gathering in the future!

Recently, taking advantage of the "tariff incident," he casually suggested that the President test the waters with another communications giant, Xingzhong Communication.

On the surface, it looks like a pressure tactic before negotiations, but it’s also an observation of Country Hua’s reaction, a preliminary trial for tackling Hua Wei next.

And the results pleased Naji greatly.

Faced with the threat of supply interruption, Xingzhong, utterly incapable of self-sufficiency, eventually chose to compromise.

Whether it was the enormous fine of 2 billion US dollars, planting their observers, or even the excessively demanding management shakeup... Xingzhong gritted its teeth and agreed to all of it.

This was an exceptionally successful test run, giving Naji the confidence to repeat the trick.

He’s a champion of MAGA (Make America Great Again).

Heretics like Hua Wei that hinder MAGA must be resolutely suppressed and eradicated!

"Inform all the senior staff, meeting this afternoon, focusing on how to suppress Hua Wei’s rampant expansion.

Before the 5G technology takes hold, we must draft a comprehensive blockade plan to submit to the President!"

"Yes, Director!"

"By the way, has there been any new moves on their side recently?"

"Nothing particularly noteworthy, but they have suddenly increased their raw material purchasing efforts recently, with some component orders even doubling.

They’ve also negotiated with several domestic suppliers, looking like they’re planning a massive expansion of production capacity..."

"Expansion of production capacity? Seems like they’re quite confident in future sales, huh...

Hmph! Let them be smug for a little while longer; the higher they climb, the harder they’ll fall!"

Naji sneered coldly.

Regarding Hua Wei’s increased procurement efforts, no one thought to consider any other implications.

In the eyes of Naji and his peers, the counterpart is just an ordinary private enterprise, not some professional intelligence agency.

They might be quite capable in business competition, but the idea that they could anticipate the strategic decisions made on the other side of the Pacific is simply too far-fetched.

This is just like the attack on Pearl Harbor by Fusang; there were signs, but no one believed them...

Writing down his handling opinions on the information at hand, Naji opened the next piece of intelligence.

[The Frozen Soil organization’s Ali armed group almost annihilated on the outskirts of Damascus, with sightings of unidentified small units of Syrian government forces nearby...]

Ali? That sounds like the group he supported a while ago, should have over a hundred people - wiped out just like that?
