The Wolf of Los Angeles.
Chapter 541 The Time for the Final Offensive Has Arrived
Swell, Australia.
Inside Twitter headquarters, Assange and Cahill sat in front of the same computer, staring blankly at the emails being forwarded by botnets.
It was done so easily?
It turns out that you can actually catch fish with a straight hook!
Hundreds of documents were densely packed in the folder, many of which had very impactful titles.
Once the transmission was complete, Cahill quickly severed the connection with the botnet.
Assange went even further, physically disconnecting the computer from the internet.
"Make a backup right away!" he told Cahill. "We got these documents through our own hard work; we can't afford to lose them."
Cahill brought over a portable hard drive to back up the files.
He said, "Boss, there's still a public email address for Hillary Clinton's campaign team online. Should I send another one to try?"
Assange waved his hand: "Let's see what's inside these first."
Once the backup was complete, he went through the files one by one. Most of the things sent from Sullivan's emails were work-related.
More than a dozen of these cases involved multiple foundations under the names of Sillari and Richardson.
The financial statements made Assange dizzy, but the sources of funds involved excited him.
These emails prove that Hillary Clinton and several foundations under the umbrella of Richard Lloyd had close financial ties with more than a dozen organizations in the Middle East, some of which were extremist groups.
There were also emails exchanged with some non-governmental organizations in Ukraine and Russia.
Cahill couldn't help but say, "These people are so sloppy."
"Perhaps it's not crudeness, but a kind of arrogance and conceit from the bone." The website founded by Assange mainly targets the world's number one superpower: "The United States is the only superpower, and these politicians or their lackeys are high and mighty, completely disregarding the thoughts of other countries and ordinary people."
He said coldly, "In other words, other countries, as well as ordinary people in the United States, are just their blood bags and tools."
Cahill stared at the email on the screen and asked, "Should we send it now?"
“No, I need to analyze it carefully. There’s a lot of technical stuff on it, and it needs explanations.” Assange thought of what happened in California: “Wait for the FBI’s press conference, see what they say before you leak the information. That will be more effective.”
…………
Boca Chica, Texas.
Hawke disembarked from the business jet, where Edward's convoy, who had come ahead to make preparations, was waiting on the tarmac.
Once in the car, Edward took out a newspaper and handed it to Hawke: "The FBI Los Angeles office held a press conference yesterday afternoon to officially announce the case in Irvine, Orange County."
Hawke opened the newspaper. On the front page were two photos: one of the three gunmen in custody, and the other of three editors making accusations at a press conference.
"WikiLeaks, the website that exposed the email scandal, was attacked by Russian gunmen, and the FBI responded promptly..."
Hawke quickly glanced through the written report.
The first half details why the email scandal and WikiLeaks were attacked by gunmen, while the second half details the names, nationalities, and backgrounds of the three gunmen who were captured alive.
The focus was on the gunman's nationality and his service record in the Russian military.
Although not a single sentence mentioned that the gunman was ordered by Hillary Clinton, I only had two feelings after reading the news.
Hillary Clinton used the massacre to obstruct press freedom.
Hillary Clinton is having an affair with a Russian!
The former put Hillary on the opposite side of the media.
Hawke had noticed this on the plane; even the media, which usually supports the Democratic Party, hadn't defended Hillary this time.
The latter, involving collusion between high-ranking politicians and the Russian side, as well as ties to the Russian military, is a major taboo in Washington.
Before the plane even landed, Hawke received a call from Twitter's PR director, Hearst. Washington and Congress were in an uproar, extremely dissatisfied with Hillary's actions.
Even many members of the Donald Party have given up supporting Hillary Clinton.
Hawke took out his smartphone and checked the online polls. The latest statistics showed that Hillary's overall approval rating had dropped by 1.5%.
It's important to know that in many swing states, the margin of victory or defeat in an election is often around 1%.
On online media platforms such as Twitter and Yahoo, criticism of Hillary Clinton has become the dominant voice.
"Sila Lily has a dirty past and doesn't allow people to talk about it. If anyone does, she'll have them shot."
"We urge Congress to conduct a thorough investigation. Hillary Clinton has colluded with Russia. What if she aids the enemy after taking office?"
"The FBI should arrest Ciri, and the federal court should put her in jail!"
"The email scandal is not over yet, and now Hillary Clinton has been implicated in the Russia collusion scandal. She is the dirtiest candidate in American history."
"Compared to Sila, Tom Emer looks very clean."
"The husband has the zipper scandal, the wife has the email scandal and the Russia collusion scandal. The two complement each other and each has their own merits."
The phone rang, interrupting Hawke's enjoyment of gossip online; it was Elon Musk calling.
After Hawke answered the call, he said, "I'm out of the airport."
Musk, on the other end, said, "The weather conditions have changed, and we have decided to launch the rocket today. It is expected to launch in two and a half hours."
Hawke checked the time: "Don't worry, I'll make it."
Musk said, "I'll be waiting for you at the launch site."
More than an hour later, Hawke arrived at SpaceX's launch site in Boca Chica.
In front of the towering launch tower, a carrier rocket, more than ten stories high, is undergoing its final pre-launch checks.
Hawke got out of the car and followed the people who came to greet him toward the command center.
On the way, he casually took the helmet Edward offered and put it on.
Upon entering the hall, he found it bustling with activity, with Musk listening to reports from several engineers.
Hawke didn't disturb them, found a quiet spot, and sat on a bench to watch the bustling activity in the hall.
This place not only houses rocket experts specializing in space exploration, but also the technical team from Surrey Satellite, led by Professor Benjamin, and the liaison team from West Coast Environmental Technology Company.
After the satellite is launched, its daily maintenance and operation are handled by West Coast Environmental Technology Company.
Henderson, who was also idle, approached him: "Chairman."
The other party arrived a few days earlier than him, so Hawke asked, "Why was the launch brought forward to today?"
Henderson quickly explained, "The launch was originally scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, but the newly formed hurricane cyclone in the Gulf of Mexico suddenly changed direction and is heading towards Texas. It is expected to make landfall in Texas around noon tomorrow and may reach Boca Chica in the afternoon, bringing several days of rain. Therefore, we have to move the launch time forward."
Rocket launches are usually scheduled at roughly the right time. Hawke nodded: "How about the satellite?"
Henderson said, "Professor Benjamin has conducted multiple tests and there are no problems."
Before the two could finish speaking, Musk strode over, and Henderson voluntarily left.
Hawke stood up and shook hands with Musk, who was all smiles. "It seems like everything is going well," Hawke said. Musk replied, "No problem. From now on, launching these disposable rockets will become routine for our company."
Hawke, one of only two major shareholders in SpaceX, had also seen the related reports: "Are you planning to research reusable rockets?"
“Calling it research isn’t wrong, but it’s a long-term plan.” Musk lowered his voice: “In the next month, our Space Exploration will launch all six of your communications satellites into low Earth orbit. By the end of the year, we expect to launch 15 satellites of various types, and more in the future. I plan to take this opportunity to take Space Exploration public. Reusable rockets and the Mars landing program are all big plans we’re preparing to raise funds in the stock market.”
Hawke understood; the pie-in-the-sky promise could be expanded to include a few more things: "A space tourism program could also be launched."
Musk laughed and said, "That's right, that's right. As long as the PowerPoint presentation looks good, and SpaceX keeps launching your satellites, the stock price will definitely be great after the IPO."
He asked, "Given the current election situation, Hillary's side has suffered a major setback, while Tom Emer is in a clear advantage. There shouldn't be any major problems, right?"
Hawke never pops champagne at halftime: "The outcome is unpredictable until the very last moment."
After Hawke became a major shareholder in SpaceX, West Coast Environmental Technologies' Starlink project incorporated some of its launch vehicle development, which is directly related to SpaceX's development.
Musk said, "Did you see my tweet? I've been promoting Tom Emer on Twitter."
Hawke's "Technological Revolution Camp" is also supporting Tom Emmer.
Capital's stance is never fixed; it can shift from red to blue, or from blue to red.
Tom Emmer's future policy plans align with the interests of the tech elite.
Using federal resources to exchange for promises, or even to seek huge benefits for themselves, is a basic tactic for elected presidents.
With a stake in the matter, Hawke didn't mince words and said directly, "What we need to do is not only get Tom Emere elected, but also get Sillari out of the Budget Committee."
Musk understands this is also crucial; it's not uncommon for proposals pushed by the White House to get stuck in the budget committee.
He said, "What can I do?"
Hawke thought for a moment and said, "By leveraging the pressure of public opinion within the tech industry and tech media, aren't you now the number one influencer in the tech world?"
Musk chuckled: "I've worked hard on this for the past few years and now I have over ten million followers on Twitter."
Hawke said, "Then let's switch to taunt mode and attack Seraphim from every angle."
This aligns with Musk's persona and style of doing things on Twitter, where he said, "No problem, I guarantee I can make Hillary furious."
Someone came to inform us that the rocket had completed all pre-launch preparations and was about to begin the launch procedure.
Musk and Hawke, along with Edward and Henderson, went up to the observation deck on the upper floor.
Last year, Hawke and Erica watched an experimental rocket launch.
The launch vehicle used this time is much larger than the experimental one Hawke saw last year.
The force of the launch was like a fiery hurricane.
Hawke stared intently at the rocket as it soared into the sky, worried that it might explode mid-air.
After all, I had seen too many rocket videos from Musk and the Indians in my previous life.
The former explodes occasionally, while the latter explodes in various ways.
Once India launches a rocket, neighboring countries must prepare for prevention and control measures, since even India itself is unsure where the rocket will ultimately go.
Once it was no longer visible to the naked eye, Hawke looked at the LCD screen next to him. As the first two sections detached, the rocket burst out of the atmosphere.
Various sounds could be heard continuously from inside the command center.
After a while, Musk said, "The satellite has entered its designated orbit."
Hawke nodded slightly, listening to the sound coming from the headset.
The solar panels were successfully deployed, and communication tests were conducted one by one.
It wasn't until Professor Benjamin announced that all the satellite's preset functions had been achieved that enthusiastic applause erupted in the command center.
Hawke was also pleased, bumped fists with Musk, and said, "We should go grab a drink."
Musk laughed heartily: "SpaceX can announce to the world that we have the capability to launch satellites independently!"
The two went down to the second floor and arrived at the command hall.
This was a joint project of three companies. Hawke was a major shareholder in one company, and the owners of the other two companies came directly to the front line to announce the successful launch.
The bonus will be distributed according to procedure.
Professor Benjamin's team also officially transferred control of the satellite to West Coast Environmental Technology Company.
Hawke and Musk then convened a brief meeting with the heads of the various technical teams to finalize other launch plans for the coming month.
After the first six communications satellites are launched, all Hawke's companies, including Twitter, will have their own dedicated encrypted communication channels.
West Coast Technologies is currently negotiating with all parties to buy out the leased satellite.
The following morning, before the hurricane made landfall in Texas, Hawke took a flight from Boca Chica to Washington.
As soon as the business jet left Texas, Edward received a phone call, opened his laptop, connected to the latest satellite network, glanced at WikiLeaks, grinned, and said to Hawke, "Boss, our fishing operation should have been a success."
Hawke took the notebook that was pushed towards him and immediately saw the eye-catching news headline.
"Sirius Cialis colluded with Russia and betrayed national interests!"
Below this were a series of emails, mostly chat logs between a campaign manager named Sullivan Posta and a Russian woman named Tanya Yegorova.
One of the emails mentioned having Tanya and others deal with the problem of WikiLeaks.
Several emails also revealed that Hillary Clinton's foundation, affiliated with Richard Laugh, had significant financial dealings with two non-governmental organizations in Ukraine and Russia, mentioning the trading of goods but without providing specific details.
There's more shocking news behind this story.
"Siali has financial dealings with several extremist groups in the Middle East!"
The news page also showed the relevant emails, which were handled by the same person, Sullivan.
Hawke read the email carefully. It also mentioned goods, but there was no description of the goods.
The types of goods are actually not hard to guess.
Edward muttered, "The goods aren't just for that island, are they?"
Hawke shook his head: "Epstein was in charge of that. Sillari isn't that stupid to handle these things herself."
Edward stroked his chin and said, "Soul cooking?"
“It doesn’t matter what the specifics are,” Hawke said with a smile. “As long as Sila has substantial business dealings with the Russians in private, even if she uses both her mouths, she can’t explain it clearly.”
He picked up the satellite phone and called Campos: "Give all the information on St. James Island to Tom Emer; it's time for the final assault!"
Campos replied, "Yes."
Hawke continued, "Have those people been taken care of?"
"We've taken care of the two victims," Campos said. "They'll be reporting us to the FBI." (End of Chapter)
