Desperate Hacker

Chapter 378 Analysis of the King of War

In Africa, in a primeval forest, a French-style villa stands here at this time.

To be honest, although such a villa looks inconspicuous.

But you have to know that this beautiful house is built in a virgin forest.

Not to mention anything else, just transporting building materials to this forest is not an easy task.

What's more, there are wild animals wandering near the dense forest.

In addition, there are even some warlords around, and this is a country where everyone can take to the streets with an AK47. Even those women have to carry a submachine gun when they go out to buy groceries.

It is conceivable that the cost of living in such a low-key, luxurious and connotative small villa here is much higher than in some normal countries and communities.

In fact, the people who can live in this kind of house are indeed extraordinary.

Since Bout was released from prison, he has been secretly hiding in Central Africa.

He didn't mean to stay dormant, but it just took some time for him to plan and adjust.

Right now Bute is still recruiting his former staff.

People are all animals who think about themselves. When Bute was extremely famous, many people followed him.

And Bute also has many talents on hand who can help him take care of some things.

As an international arms dealer, Bout could not do all the business on his own.

Sometimes he would support some agents, and those people would help him move weapons and make money. Bout would get the lion's share, while those people would only make a small fraction.

However, when dealing with weapons and ammunition, one end is connected to the supplier and the other end is connected to the consumer.

When the middle link of Bout is eliminated, connections between consumers and suppliers will slowly be established.

Especially during the 10 years he was imprisoned, the darknet developed rapidly on the Internet.

So when Butt was released from prison, the world was no longer what it was before.

Ten years ago, arms dealers preferred to trade in diamonds.

But now European gem suppliers require that the gems and gold they purchase must provide proof of slavery-free status.

To put it simply, even if blood diamonds are mined, they cannot be sold on the open market in Europe. In addition, De Beers, the world's largest diamond supplier, is also troubled by artificial diamonds. The myths about diamonds and various jewelry types can no longer be told anymore.

The world has changed, and now even BMW and Mercedes-Benz are very uncomfortable being supported by new energy suppliers.

The world's most valuable automobile company is no longer Toyota. Instead, it has become Tesla, a company that was founded just a few years ago.

This shows one thing: the status of oil is also gradually declining.

But lithium's status as a primary product supplier is growing.

In addition to lithium, there is also nickel. In addition, there are also a series of metals. These metal deposits were not widely used before, but now, their value has skyrocketed!

……

Butt was thinking about this matter in his mind every day. He had realized that the most important thing now was not to grab an oil field, but to grab these rare minerals.

But in Africa, especially in some countries where warlords are rampant, people like Bout see full of opportunities.

After an hour on the treadmill, Butt panted and picked up his short-sleeved shirt and put it on his sweaty back. Then he came to the restaurant and turned on the TV while eating nutritious food. And a very delicious breakfast.

While looking at the high-level people from China and Africa I have contacted in the past few days!
  "Breaking news! This morning, Tokyo time, a cargo ship and a submarine collided near the Miyako Strait, causing several people to fall into the water. Then the submarine launched a rescue! It is reported that the submarine that collided was an Australian The Royal Navy's Collins-class submarine was conducting scientific research in the relevant waters at the time of the incident! Since the incident occurred on the high seas and the cargo ship floating above the water stopped operating its engine, the submarine did not find the ship when it surfaced. At present, the Australian Navy has announced that it will launch an investigation into this incident, and relevant personnel have been evacuated to the U.S. military base in Okinawa..." Butt was eating when suddenly the sound of news came to his ears. He was surprised to see Follow the content in the news.

Then he suddenly remembered that the hacker called him a few days ago to ask about his affairs.

The probability of a submarine surfacing and a ship hitting a ship is extremely small.

You must know that 2/3 of the earth's surface is liquid, and the collision of two ships is a small probability event in itself, and it basically occurs near the port.

Although the vicinity of Miyako Strait is a golden waterway, considering the two ships, one is a submarine and the other is a civilian ship sailing on the water.

The probability of the two ships coming into contact was almost 0, and it happened that the submarine hit the freighter when it surfaced.

Is it really just a coincidence?
  Or……

Butt pressed the pause button on the TV. He wanted to watch the news again.

So the news playback function was turned back again.

Then Butt saw that the people wrapped in blankets and getting off the submarine on the camera were all Asian faces.

"Asian?"

Butt was not a fool. Someone had rescued him at the airport before. At that time, he evaluated whether he should run away or choose to go to Russia with the Russians.

Eventually he decided it would be in his better interest to run away.

But after the incident happened, he was also guessing about the other party's identity.

After he escaped, he was asked about the drone.

Bout speculated that it was probably related to the war situation in Yemen.

Although he was locked up in prison, he was not ignorant of what was going on outside.

Then he learned about radar.

Then the other party asked him to take away a radar engineer. It was Asia where the engineers went.

So Bout guessed that the hackers were probably Asians.

And now the submarine strike has just happened.

Is it really such a coincidence?
  Suddenly a bold idea spread in Butt's mind.

He suddenly realized that the partner he was working with was not a rookie.

On the contrary, the opponent is a master among masters, and may even have the ability to mobilize military submarines.

Of course those submarines won't listen to a hacker, but what if the other party hacks into Australia's military command system?

If you just mobilize a submarine, it's nothing. The submarine has high-explosive bombs, torpedoes, and weapons!

What if the weapons on the submarine were suddenly fired at a third-party military target?
  The King of War suddenly felt as if he had found a treasure!

Bute does not object to cooperation with others, but the other party must be strong enough, otherwise it will be holding him back.

But before he finished enjoying his breakfast, suddenly Butt's phone rang!
  "Hey, hacker kid!"
