Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 438: 160, little brother, I’m in Japan waiting for your judgment. _2

Even someone as capable as Chen Shanhe wouldn’t be able to hire people to pull any tricks here.

Even if they were to find out the current location of Lin Mo and his family, they would likely adopt measures such as interception and assassination.

These underhanded methods are Japan’s forte.

“Right, don’t worry, everyone, Zhang Li and I will protect you,” Lin Siyu, who had learned to handle guns, was also full of confidence, but she still cautioned, “Dad, Uncle Li, the two of you spend the most time outside on weekdays. I suggest we assign a few more bodyguards to you.”

The others are either at home or in the defense company, relatively speaking, they are safer.

“There’s no need for that, it’s too conspicuous and could actually pose a problem.”

Li Jinshan rejected the suggestion, “Besides, there’s an old saying: there are only temporary thieves, not permanent guards against thieves.”

“Son, if you have any plans or strategies, let’s discuss them together. Maybe we can find a lasting solution.”

Even if they were willing to live the rest of their lives incognito, it would probably be very difficult to escape the investigation of others.

The power of a nation’s institutions, even those of a small country like Japan, must never be underestimated.

Lin Mo didn’t hide his thoughts and spoke candidly, “My plan is this: if Chen Shanhe can find someone to rely on, why can’t we do the same?”

“If he can seek support from the King of Japan, we can also befriend the Duke in America.”

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

Li Jinwen exclaimed, surprised, “So you chose to live in the same villa as the Duke in order to get close to him?”

To be honest, they had not understood why Lin Mo wanted to come to America before.

After all, if they wanted to hide the whereabouts of the entire family, it would actually be more appropriate to go to a smaller country.

With money in their hands, they could live very well even in some chaotic countries.

“Not entirely.” Lin Mo shook his head and continued, “The Duke is already in his second term, his position is stable, and the interest groups behind him are very solid.”

“Put simply, he lacks nothing in terms of money, resources, or relationships. What can we offer to make friends with him?”

The reality was indeed so,

Lin Mo couldn’t guarantee that his Intelligence System was more powerful than the CIA or the FBI at the Duke’s disposal.

The information the Duke could access far exceeded Lin Mo’s imagination.

Moreover, it is only during competition or when the enemy is strong and we are weak that the value of intelligence truly shines.

For the powerful, they need not have intelligence, as they can concoct it out of thin air.

For instance, I could come up with a test tube of washing powder and claim it’s a weapon of mass destruction produced by your country, then launch an invasion against you.

What could you do to me?

Seeing the increasingly puzzled expressions on his family members’ faces, Lin Mo didn’t keep them in suspense and got straight to the point, “My plan involves the next Duke election, and I am already scouring for potential winners.”

“If we bet correctly, then perhaps we could completely resolve the big trouble that is Chen Shanhe.”

The plan sounded foolproof, and the logic was self-consistent.

Zhao Huixian, who was quite familiar with America’s system, voiced her doubts, “But there are still two years until the next Duke election.”

“Moreover, even if we rule out the third party, the Green Association, there are still dozens of candidates from the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party combined. Who do we put our bet on?”

Xu Qin, who didn’t understand these things, asked in confusion, “Can’t we wait until they’ve selected half, when there are fewer people, to place our bets?”

Li Jinshan, who had experience in the organization, shook his head and said, “You’re thinking too simply, in-laws, that definitely won’t work. By that time, there will be many other people and interest groups supporting them, and if we join in to support them then, it won’t be very effective.”

“At most, we’d get a piece of the pie.”

“To maximize benefits, we need to act now when the situation is still unclear.”

“Giving help in the snow is always more valuable than adding flowers to the brocade.”

Everyone was an adult and quickly understood Li Jinshan’s analysis.

“Dad is right, now is the best opportunity to make our move,” Lin Mo nodded and then said, “I think Johnson Foster is the most likely candidate to win, so I want to put my bet on him.”

“`

Hearing this name, most of them exchanged puzzled looks, clearly not having heard of it before.

Li Jinwen, who had come across a parody video of Johnson Foster earlier in the morning, couldn’t help but say, “Ah? My husband… he’s not very reliable, is he?”

“I feel like he’s just like Prince Wang back home; probably not many voters would choose him, right?”

Although no one was familiar with Johnson Foster, Li Jinwen’s description gave them a rough idea of him.

Zhao Huixian thought for a moment and then spoke up, “Son, although I haven’t heard of Johnson Foster, I think maybe you should put your money on Clinton Hamilton.”

“Her husband is a former Duke and is also very close to the current Duke; they could be said to be part of the same alliance of interests.”

“No matter how you look at it, she’s going to be the next Duke, right?”

Indeed,

Not just Zhao Huixian thought this way, but probably most people across America would consider Clinton Hamilton a shoo-in for the next Duke.

The buffs she had were simply too numerous; any one of them could trounce the other competitors.

Her popularity was also very high, in this country, she could be said to be a household name.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although America had not yet had a female Duke, out of all the competitors this term, she looked the most promising.

After some thought, Lin Mo answered, “I was just saying this for now; definitely further detailed investigations are needed later on, and if Johnson Foster does get to be Duke and we’ve offered him help, then he would surely be willing to assist us with our troubles.”

This was true,

Compared to the many interest groups and prominent figures standing with Clinton Hamilton, Lin Mo and his group would be just a minor, insignificant player even if they joined in.

It was possible that Clinton’s side wouldn’t even invite them to join the game.

Johnson Foster, on the other hand, had really just his own Johnson family backing him up.

They might not be short on money, but in other areas, they were lacking quite a bit.

After dinner, the family continued their discussion about which Duke’s campaign group to join while researching various materials.

The topic itself was quite interesting.

However, as the discussion went on, everyone gradually became more certain of one thing.

That even if all other competitors dropped out, it was highly unlikely that the American public would cast their votes for Johnson Foster.

Lin Mo did not join the discussion but started to get busy with other things.

Two years may seem long, but in fact, they could pass in the blink of an eye.

He had a lot to do, not only continuing to collect information about the various competitors, but also paying attention to the families and friends of those competitors.

After all, the goal was to gather as much intelligence as possible.

Moreover, he also needed to create certain organizations and recruit people to work for him, for it was impossible to attend to everything personally, no matter how capable he was.

And once he had enough intelligence, Lin Mo would need to make contact with Johnson Foster well beforehand.

The sooner the better, as waiting until two years later would seem too purpose-driven.

Besides,

Lin Mo needed to dedicate part of his energy to help Dark find a cure for cancer.

It must be said, this was truly a hard thing to find.

Lin Mo had already searched all the medical institutions in the world that were known to the public, yet he had come up empty-handed.

Next, he could only see if the Intelligence System could play a pivotal role at a critical moment.

…

As each family member busied themselves in their respective roles, Chen Shanhe also used various methods to gather all the intelligence on Lin Mo and Abyss.

And just like that, two years swiftly passed…
