Working as a police officer in Mexico Chapter 1980 - 828: The End of the Old Era’s Remnants

Victor looked at the scene below the stage, a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He knew that in this ga, he had won the first step. He raised his hand to signal for silence below the stage and continued, "Thank you all for your support. xico promises to promote the implentation of the three initiatives with the utmost sincerity. During the summit, we will set up sub-forums for each topic. We welco delegations from various countries to engage in-depth exchanges and negotiations."

After the opening ceremony, the delegations hurried to the sub-forums, leaving only Victor and his core team in the main venue.

Casare walked to Victor’s side, grinning, "Boss, nicely done! The Yanks’ faces turned green!"

Victor faintly smiled and shook his head, "This is just the beginning. The real ga is in the sub-forums, in the details of the cooperation agreents. Tell Bramo to closely watch the Germany and France negotiation teams, offer the most favorable conditions, and sign the cooperation agreents as soon as possible. Also, over in Africa, get the first batch of aid supplies in place quickly so they see real benefits."

"Understood!" Casare responded and retreated. Bramo approached Victor, holding a freshly delivered ssage, "Mr. Victor, McTavish from Scotland sent a ssage. He is willing to be xico’s first digital infrastructure pilot in Europe and agrees to let xico’s bank manage 60% of Scotland’s sovereign fund, provided we help him form a regular digital security force."

Victor nodded, "Agree to his terms, send our technical experts over there, and quickly help him form the unit. Scotland is our crucial foothold in Europe, we must keep it tightly in our grasp."

Bramo recorded the ssage, then added, "Also, news ca from London that the British Pri Minister, due to a passive situation during the summit, is facing pressure from the Cabinet. The English Congress has won five seats in the Liverpool local elections, and Sarah Kent’s influence is growing stronger."

Victor’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint, "Keep Allen assisting Sarah Kent, provide her with necessary support, and let her continue to trouble London. A chaotic England is beneficial to us."

At that mont, the security chief ran over hurriedly, looking anxious, "Mr. Victor, sothing’s wrong! The summit’s digital system was hit by a cyberattack. Although the Quantum firewall blocked it, so information from the sub-forums was slightly leaked!"

Victor’s expression imdiately darkened, "Investigate! Find the source of the attack imdiately!"

"It’s already being investigated. The source is well disguised, but our technical team discovered that the attack code used encryption thods commonly employed by the CIA!" the security chief reported.

Victor sneered, a trace of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, "The Yanks still won’t give up. Tell the technical team, don’t hold back, follow the attack trail and give them a little taste in return. Also, make this incident public, let the world see how the United States undermines an international summit for its own selfish reasons."

The security chief retreated, and Bramo looked at Victor with so concern, "Will this completely tear things apart with the United States?"

"And what if it does?" Victor gazed out the window, "We haven’t been the xico of a few years ago for a long ti. If the United States wants to pinch a soft persimmon, they should see if they have the skill to do so."

At the sa ti, in London, Downing Street Number 10.

The Pri Minister sat behind his desk, his face pale, papers scattered all around, with Cabinet mbers standing before the desk, each with somber expressions, tensions palpable.

"xico’s summit turned into their solo show; the United States is isolated, Europe is divided, and we are reduced to just a backdrop here in the United Kingdom!" The Chancellor of the Exchequer was the first to speak, his voice filled with anger, "As Pri Minister, you couldn’t even establish a clear stance. Prince Charles just ntioned the ’potential for cooperation’ at the summit, causing the UK to lose face internationally!"

"This isn’t the ti to discuss these issues!" The Pri Minister slamd the desk and stood up, "xico’s rise is already a fact. They have signed letters of intent for cooperation with Germany, France, and several African countries. Next, they will advance into the European market. What we need to consider now is how to respond to xico’s impact, not accuse each other!"

"Respond? How?" The Foreign Minister sneered, "Our economy is on the verge of collapse, Scotland is seeking independence, the English Congress is winning round after round in local elections, dostic tensions are high; what can we use to respond? Our paltry military budget or our continuously depreciating British Pounds?"

The Pri Minister was rendered speechless and slumped in his chair, eyes full of despair. He knew the Foreign Minister was speaking the truth. The current United Kingdom felt like a leaking ship, swaying in a storm, with no ability to compete against xico.

"If you ask , we might as well cooperate with xico." A Cabinet mber quietly suggested, "Scotland has already connected with xico. If we also cooperate with xico, at least we can gain economic aid to alleviate the dostic crisis."

"Cooperate?" The Pri Minister lifted his head, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, "But the United States might not agree."

"The United States can barely protect themselves; do they have the energy to manage us?" The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, "Right now, the United States can’t even look after the United Kingdom. Our only way out is to cooperate with xico, even if it’s temporary."

The Cabinet mbers all nodded, clearly agreeing with the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s statent.
