The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 607 All-Out Attack
Similar incidents occurred not only at the Avana oil field, but also at other oil field areas effectively controlled by Halliburton. All of these areas were subjected to counterterrorism searches by the Marine Corps, and without exception, terrorists and suspected explosive devices were found.

Under the pressure of the absolutely correct counter-terrorism policy and with the full cooperation of the Iraqi government, these oil fields had to be temporarily shut down for joint review by the US and Iraq.

Tom Emer waited more than two years before taking action, partly to prepare and partly to gain sufficient influence over the political situation and parts of the military.

In contrast, oil fields controlled by energy giants like ExxonMobil were not disturbed.

Halliburton's highly profitable business in Middle Eastern oil saw most of its operations come to a standstill almost simultaneously.

The offensive on the American mainland has also been launched.

Richmond, Virginia.

Winston Financial Services had just opened for business that morning, and the employees' morning meeting was still in progress, when suddenly more than a dozen black Chevrolet SUVs drove up to the building.

Several men in black suits got out of the car first, followed by men in blue FBI jackets.

The man in the black suit, who was leading the group, strode into the office building lobby. Upon seeing the people approaching, he presented his identification and documents according to routine procedures and said, "I am Richardson, a senior agent from the FBI's Counterterrorism and Counterterrorism Division. We have received a tip and have concrete evidence that Winston Corporation is suspected of money laundering and financial fraud, and of having financial dealings with foreign terrorist organizations."

He brandished the search warrant: "The FBI is now conducting a search of your company's offices. You can go and notify the person in charge."

The receptionist was dumbfounded. After looking at the dozens of FBI agents pouring into the hall, he quickly ran back to call his superiors.

Richardson did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered: "Begin the search, block the company servers, seal the financial records, and take away all the CFOs and others who have preliminary evidence for investigation!"

The FBI agents swarmed forward, each led by their respective squad leader, heading straight for their targets.

The once orderly building immediately became chaotic.

Winston's CEO, Clybert, rushed to Richardson and said, "You can't do this..."

“We are conducting a legitimate investigation.” Richardson interrupted him directly, placing all the paperwork in front of Clybert: “Please do not obstruct FBI law enforcement. If we have violated any regulations, you can complain to my superiors.”

After saying that, he ignored Clebert and led a few of his men straight to the finance office.

Claybert wanted the security personnel to stop them, but the security personnel dared not stop the heavily armed FBI agents.

Earning a few thousand dollars a month to risk your life against the fully armed FBI, and then end up on the counterterrorism blacklist?
Claybert didn't dare delay and immediately ran back to his office to call his superiors.

Meanwhile, at Harman Investments in New York, several executives were sweating profusely.

The company's finance department was directly controlled by someone, and all computers and servers were sealed with tax bureau inspection stamps.

A team of field enforcement agents belonging to the IRS Criminal Investigation Bureau are packing up and sealing these office supplies and various accounts, preparing to take them away for investigation.

After hanging up the phone to report to his superiors, the company's CEO, Andy Ross, went down the corridor and started making calls to his connections and inquire about relevant information.

This was no ordinary company; it had a wide network of connections. After making more than a dozen phone calls, Andy Ross obtained some useful information.

He quickly informed his superiors: "There is reliable information that an employee has reported to the IRS and provided evidence of tax fraud and financial irregularities, putting us in a very passive position and making it highly likely that we will be ordered to cease operations."

The person on the other end pondered for a moment, then said, "Your most urgent task now is to find out who the traitor is."

Andy Ross understood what he meant and said, "I'll arrange for someone to search right away."

The person on the other end hung up the phone and stood by the window, thinking. Several companies in his family's group had suddenly been searched by various federal law enforcement agencies. There must be someone among them who betrayed the company's interests.

There will definitely be others who will continue to do similar things for money or other reasons.

We must take action as soon as possible to deter these arrogant bastards.

Wilshire pressed the intercom on his desk and told his assistant, "Prepare the business jet. I'm heading to Crawford, Texas in an hour."

The assistant quickly contacted the company's business jet and notified the crew to apply for a flight route immediately.

Wilshire hadn't even arrived yet, but the phone had already been dialed to Crawford.

Very few large companies don't manipulate their taxes.

As for illegal activities, you won't find anything unless you investigate thoroughly. But if you really investigate, you can find a whole bunch of them.

Of course, some companies operate relatively cleanly, making it difficult to detect problems from a normal law enforcement perspective.

However, those behind the scenes who are driving these companies have also made corresponding preparations.

Washington, Elephant Hill Club.

All information from various aspects is compiled here as soon as possible.

Anderson oversaw the overall situation, constantly forwarding messages to the chief of staff.

With a well-thought-out plan and over a year of preparation, the operation is progressing very smoothly, and we have directly obtained a lot of evidence of the other party's violations and crimes.

An assistant came in from outside and said, "There are still two companies where we haven't found a breakthrough."

Anderson pulled out the information on the two companies and began to examine it carefully.

The assistant, who was waiting nearby, said, "We can't find a problem with one of them for the time being, but the person we bribed for the other one has run into trouble. It's not very safe, so I've called a halt."

Anderson nodded slightly, continued flipping through the pages, and quickly found a breakthrough, saying, "Have you noticed something? Neither of these companies has hired any LGBTQ people. They have a zero score in BlackRock's LGBTQ rating. Nowadays, commercial companies are hiring LGBTQ people on a large scale. Why don't they use them? This is clearly discrimination!"

The assistant's eyes lit up instantly, and he chimed in, "That's right, they're discriminating against minority groups and against multiculturalism."

Anderson took a business card holder from the drawer, found the contact information for several of the most radical LGBTQ organizations, and said, “We can’t stand by and watch such serious discrimination happen. We need to report their situation to the relevant people immediately. Let’s go now.”

The assistant took the business cards and quickly went out to make a phone call.

Anderson was confident in mobilizing LGBTQ radical organizations. The current president, upon taking office, gave them maximum recognition and actively promoted the movement's further development, establishing a diversity department in the federal government to legally and policy-wise allow LGBTQ groups to become mainstream, even granting them considerable privileges.

Once the news got out, several particularly radical demon and monster organizations immediately sprang into action.

The following morning, Midland, Michigan.

Large numbers of transgender people, plastic bag people, armed helicopters, cross-dressers, and polysexuals from all over the country blocked all the entrances to Dow Chemical Company's headquarters building and production plant area, holding various protest signs.

Dozens of media reporters also rushed over to join in the fun.

NBC, which supports diversity movements, even brought its television broadcast van to cover the entire protest.

Jessica, the initiator of this movement and also the leader of a demonic organization, stood in front of NBC's live cameras and gave an interview.

It was originally called Joanka, but later changed its name.

Jessica, dressed in a brightly colored dress and wearing a purple wig, stroked her beard and said, "We have concrete evidence that Dow Chemical Company severely discriminates against minorities!"

He alleged: "During last year's and this year's recruitment, Dow Chemical recruited a total of 216 new employees, none of whom were diverse individuals! In the process, a total of 46 diverse individuals participated in the recruitment and indicated their identities on their resumes. It was precisely because of their identities that Dow Chemical excluded them directly, depriving them of even a fair and just opportunity to compete for a job."

The cameraman slightly adjusted the lens to give Jessica a large close-up of her face.

The purple eyeshadow, pink lipstick, yellow teeth, and brown beard seemed to all be protesting against social injustice.

"It's the 2010s now, and there are still people using discrimination as a reason and excuse to exclude diverse groups who need fair treatment. We just want to have a fair chance to compete for jobs like everyone else. Is that too much to ask? Dow Chemical Company is even taking away this most basic right!"

Jessica brought over several cross-dressing men and women and introduced them to the camera: "They participated in the recruitment of Dow Chemical Company, and were all eliminated for inexplicable reasons. Why should all the injustice in society fall on people like us!"

Those few monsters who actually participated in the recruitment began to tell the media about the unfair treatment they suffered.

These people not only complained in the media, but also reported the case to the FBI on the grounds of discrimination.

Around noon, several trucks arrived at the entrance of Dow Chemical Company's office building and factory area to unload goods.

Large quantities of tents, food, and sleeping bags were distributed to the demons and monsters.

Jessica had participated in the Occupy San Francisco movement and learned valuable lessons from it, so she was preparing to launch an Occupy Dow Chemical Company movement.

Although it was impossible for the group to actually rush in and occupy the area, blocking the entrance would be no problem at all.

The impact of this long-term movement is enormous and will seriously disrupt the normal operations of Dow Chemical Company.

Dow Chemicals had been notified beforehand and made ample preparations in its accounts and servers, but it did not expect its opponent to use such a despicable trick.

Standing atop the office building, the company CEO looked down at the crowded, colorful people below and shook his head, saying, "Indeed, high-level business battles are often achieved through the simplest means."

The CFO standing nearby asked, "What should we do?"

The recent string of troubles involving multiple companies made the CEO very aware that he couldn't act rashly. He said, "Let's wait and see. There will be clear instructions from above. This is no longer something we can decide on our own."

He instructed the security supervisor: "Strengthen company security and don't let those bastards break in. Their identities are very sensitive, and if they manage to steal something, it will be very difficult to deal with later."

The CFO couldn't help but curse, "Those shameless bastards actually pushed out this most marginalized and filthy group. They have no bottom line. They won't even have the chance to go to hell in the future!"

It's no accident that Dow Chemical doesn't use demons and monsters; they know these things are too easy to cause trouble, and once recruited, they're all privileged individuals who can't be touched or scolded. So they simply eliminate them during the recruitment process.

As time went on, more and more monsters and freaks came to this place. Some of them simply used the entrance of Dow Chemical Company as a stage and propaganda base, and even put on shows and performed all sorts of cringe-worthy acts.

For example, God wearing a red dress, a prosthetic breast, and a beard, etc.

On a high-rise building not far from Dow Chemical Company, a group of Butterfly Company employees disguised as reporters had set up cameras early on and filmed everything.

In the shadows, just like with Winston and Harman, investigators who arrived were secretly investigating the various connections through different channels.

These messages were gathered and delivered to Carlos, who then immediately forwarded them to the Coast Building in Los Angeles, and from there to a vacation farm in Wyoming.

In the study, Edward placed all the information he had gathered on Hawke's desk and said, "Intelligence from Hurricane Africa indicates that seven oil field companies in Iraq have been implicated in terrorist activities and have been forced to close down for investigation by both the US and Iraq. It will be difficult for them to reopen in the short term."

Hawke examined the names of the seven oil fields one by one. On the surface, they were all developed in cooperation with American companies by Iraqi state-owned oil companies.

This so-called cooperation was undoubtedly one of the biggest achievements of the Iraq War.

George Walker, as the one who ordered the Iraq War, was naturally a beneficiary of the war.

Edward continued, "In the United States, twelve companies are currently under criminal investigation by the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the IRS. In addition, three companies, including Dow Chemical, are embroiled in scandals involving discrimination and racism, with large numbers of radical groups gathering at their doors. This has directly impacted the stock market, with their stock prices being significantly shorted and declining all the way down."

Hawke remarked, "America's stock market gurus are mostly concentrated in the Washington authorities."

Edward grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: "The biggest stock market guru recently might just be our President."

Iraq was too far away, so Hawke carefully observed the situation on the American mainland and asked, "What's the situation with George Walker?"

“The opponent’s attack was too swift, and the Walker family was clearly unprepared.” Edward had learned the details in detail: “They have not yet launched an effective counterattack.”

Hawke looked at the message and said, "Many local companies have been implicated by whistleblowers who provided certain evidence."

Edward said, "Yes, our people have investigated and confirmed that."

Hawke said, "Have someone keep an eye on them. It won't be hard to find out who these whistleblowers are. What would you do if you were in their shoes?"

Without hesitation, Edward said, "They will definitely commit suicide."
