What Delta? Isn't it Operation Assara?

Chapter 240 Hudson Starts to Stir Up the Fire

"Doctor!" Just then, a Hafk machine gunner walked heavily toward where Dr. Rometheus was, and soon stopped steadily in front of Dr. Rometheus.

"What's wrong?"

"Has Red Owl come to Bakshi? Or is there intelligence about Red Owl?" Rometheus was startled upon seeing this, and then turned to ask the other party.

"Doctor, Hudson, the Minister of Efficiency, has sent word that he and his personal guards have received news that Red Owl is about to launch a large-scale attack."

"They are on their way to the Tower of Babel right now." The Hafk machine gunner looked at Rometheus and respectfully reported.

This Hafk gunner was one of Hudson's moles planted within the Tower of Babel.

"Hudson?" Rometheus murmured, and no one knew what he was thinking at that moment.

Before long, Hudson and his four-man New Orion squad, along with their accompanying Hafk support vehicle, boarded the Tower of Babel.

"Dr. Rometheus, it's been a long time." Hudson extended his hand, his face bearing a perfectly measured, warm smile, as if he were reuniting with an old friend and catching up.

"Minister Hudson, thank you for your support." Rometheus stepped forward and shook Hudson's outstretched hand.

"Dr. Rometheus, please rest assured that my elite troops are assisting the soldiers inside the Tower of Babel in their defense, and I myself will join the battle if necessary."

"With us here, Red Owl alone can't break into the Tower of Babel." Hudson looked at Rometheus in front of him and showed off his exoskeleton.

"Hmph, what exactly is Demulan doing?"

"At a time like this, she's still hesitating! If the Hafk radar station in Longbow Valley falls, so be it. But if the Tower of Babel is invaded, the price we pay will be incredibly heavy!" Dr. Rometheus, still furious, poured out his grievances to Hudson in front of him.

"Doctor, I understand, I understand everything."

I understand you, because we are all pioneers, people who are willing to dedicate ourselves to our ideals and beliefs, just to make this world a better place.

Relink is crucial to Hafk and to the future development of human society.

It can correct errors deeply embedded in human genes and is one of the important keys that God gave Hafk to open the door to a new era for the whole world.

As soon as I received the news that Red Owl was planning a major operation, I telegraphed General Demulan to dispatch troops back to defend Babel.

However… Director Demulan refused. In order to protect you, Doctor, and the Babel Tower headquarters, I have no choice but to take action myself.” Hudson looked at Dr. Rometheus in front of him, adding fuel to the fire of the already furious man.

Faced with Rometheus's rage, Hudson didn't immediately join in the attack on Demulan; that wouldn't make sense.

He first closed the distance, using concepts like understanding and camaraderie to dismantle Rometheus's vigilance and defenses, and then used "facts," or more accurately, partial "facts," to provoke Rometheus.

Throughout the entire ordeal, he almost never told a lie; he merely concealed part of the truth, thus directing Rometheus's anger in the direction he wanted to provoke.

"Why did Demulan refuse?" Dr. Rometheus was so enraged that he couldn't understand Demulan's thought process.

"To eliminate the Red Owl, you know, Doctor, the bigger picture is more important."

The group had already determined that the target that Saeed was going to attack would be somewhere between the radar station and the Tower of Babel.

To completely crush the Red Owl Group and eliminate Said Ziaten, the best option is to wait until Said's movements are clear before taking action.

"Demulan has assembled all of its rapid reaction forces, and a large number of air force units are on standby, just waiting for Red Owl to launch its attack and become entangled with Hafk's forces, unable to break away, before it will move out," Hudson continued.

Hudson's misleading words enraged Rometheus even more. This was true, and from Demoulins's perspective, it was even quite reasonable, but Rometheus could not accept it.

Because he knows that when someone tells you that the big picture is important, you are probably not part of their overall perspective.

The Tower of Babel, Relink... these are all things that embody Hafk's hard work.

"Absurd! Shameless!"

This is utterly shameless; it's an abuse of public resources for private gain!

Her so-called prioritization of the greater good was nothing more than another outrageous mistake she made to cover up her pathetic lust for power, to make up for her past errors.

I want to impeach her!

"I'm going to report this to the board of directors and let all of Hafk's shareholders see what kind of person the security director who is currently leading Hafk's global military forces and protecting Hafk's assets is!" Rometheus was so angry he felt like he was about to ascend to heaven.

"Be careful what you say, Doctor. You need to be careful. If these words reach Director Demulan's ears, you'll be in big trouble." Hudson didn't say anything bad about Demulan this time, but changed the subject.

At this moment, he had a cautious expression, as if Hudson, who openly seized power in the space city, was a completely different person.

"Be careful? What do I have to be careful about?"

snort!

"Hafk is not in Demulan's league." Rometheus waved his hand, clearly not taking Hudson's "advice" to heart, which stemmed from his status as a senior technician and the power, position, and confidence that the Relink project itself brought him.

This was exactly the effect Hudson wanted. For a genius like Rometheus, to truly win him over and get him to stand by his side to help him fight against Demulan, simple promises and inducements weren't enough. He needed to make Demulan's bad impression on him unforgettable.

This was the result of his reflections over many days.

"Doctor, have you forgotten?"

She is now in charge of the group's human resources department, and she can also get involved in the finance department.

"If she blocks the Relink project in both human resources and finance, then..." Hudson was interrupted by the furious Rometheus before he could finish speaking.

"She dares?!" Upon hearing this, Rometheus, like an enraged lion, his refined face now filled with a ferocious glint, ready to devour anyone in its path.

Relink is his and Zoya's shared dream, a cause to which he has devoted his life's work, and he will never allow anyone to threaten the progress of Relink!

"When I was attacked in the space city, it was because she blocked the reinforcements beforehand, which allowed GTI and Red Owl to advance unimpeded."

She's willing to betray the shareholders of the Hafk Group, so what's a mere Relink?

"Doctor, you are a genius, dedicating everything to a great cause, but Desmoulins is not; she is a politician who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals." Hudson's words caused Rometheus's expression to change drastically.
