.
North Ossetia, the small town of Miraka.
Shi Lei and Raphael were watching the cyber war in North Ossetia through the virtual transparent screen of the LIP lens information processor.
"Stone, the alliance is at an absolute disadvantage. If nothing unexpected happens, the data war is about to end," Raphael said to Shi Lei.
Shi Lei nodded. "Is the Angel Council giving up just like that?
Doesn't Jehovah have any trump cards? "Shi Lei asked with some doubt.
Raphael laughed. "Jehovah is only known as God on Earth, but he's not really omniscient and omnipotent. The forces on our side are too powerful!"
Indeed, the forces on the side of the defense forces were too powerful. It was not something the Angel Council could resist.
Not to mention the fact that the Angel Council was half-crippled, even if it was intact, it would not be able to resist the current situation.
"Yes, they're too powerful!"
Shi Lei sighed. "I'm afraid the next situation will make us depressed. Such powerful forces, uncontrollable forces, are too troublesome."
"Oh?"
Raphael was a little confused, but in the blink of an eye, Raphael understood what Shi Lei meant. "Stone, you're worried that after expelling the hostile forces, there may be internal conflicts?"
Shi Lei nodded in agreement. "It's not that there may be internal conflicts, but it will definitely happen!
In fact, it has already happened before!
It's just that after expelling the hostile forces, the internal conflicts will be sharper and more obvious. "
Raphael frowned and said worriedly, "Is there any way to eliminate the occurrence of internal conflicts?"
"Impossible!"
Shi Lei sighed and shook his head. "When I posted the request for a reward, I already thought of such an outcome. That's why I asked for 168 hours of defense.
The ultimate goal is not to create some trouble within 168 hours as you said, so as to refuse to pay the reward. It's to create a relatively long period of safety to completely stabilize the situation in North Ossetia. "
Raphael sighed. "Rewards are indeed a double-edged sword!"
"Yes!
It's easier to invite a god than to send him away! "
Shi Lei nodded helplessly. In fact, there was another drawback to online rewards, and that was the possibility of being blackmailed in the future.
If the hacker organization completed the protection mission and successfully obtained the bounty, then the hacker organization that obtained the bounty might pretend to be an unfamiliar hacker and continue to attack the previous protected target. Thus, they would be hired to protect the target again and repeatedly cheat the bounty.
It was precisely because of these reasons that various forces adopted a very cautious attitude towards the method of online bounties. They neither supported nor opposed it.
But in general, whether it was the government or high-tech companies, they were more disgusted with the method of online rewards.
"Stone, perhaps we can make it clear in the bounty post that we are not allowed to attack each other?" Raphael proposed a plan that seemed feasible.
Shi Lei shook his head. "No!"
"Why?" Raphael asked.
"This clause can't restrict any hacker at all.
If you want to bypass this clause, there's no difficulty at all. "Shi Lei directly replied.
"We can monitor the data!" Raphael said with some idealism.
"Finley, let me give you an example. Let's say you're currently defending Mozdok City's power grid management system.
I also want to obtain the bounty, and I also want to protect Mozdok City's power grid management system.
Then, because of the bounty's rules, as a member of the bounty team, I can't attack other members of the bounty team.
But I'm not a member of the bounty team now. I want to hack into Mozdok City's power grid management system. After I hack into it and get rid of you, I'll change my identity and become a member of the bounty team again. This is also in accordance with the rules, right? "
Shi Lei directly gave a practical example so that Raphael could understand why there were no restrictions.
"When I first posted the bounty post, it's not that I didn't think of this. The reason why there were no restrictions was to prevent situations like the example I just gave.
At least for now, the premise of an internal battle is still to protect the target online, and not to destroy the target online.
No matter how they fight among themselves, they won't destroy the target online. "Shi Lei revealed his original intention.
Raphael sighed in his heart. It was no accident that he lost to Shi Lei, and it wasn't purely because Shi Lei had more computing resources.
It was also because of Shi Lei's meticulous thinking of taking three steps before taking one step!
"Stone, according to what you're saying, we can only ignore them and let them fight among themselves?" Raphael said somewhat unwillingly.
"Of course!
What else can we do? "Shi Lei said with a smile.
"But, maybe there's a turning point!"
"Hmm?
What turning point? "Raphael asked curiously.
Currently, the forces standing on their side were too strong. Could it be that there was still a chance for them to turn things around?
In any case, Raphael couldn't think of any turning point.
"Soviet Russia!" Shi Lei hinted.
Raphael thought for a moment and understood Shi Lei's meaning. "What you're saying is that Soviet Russia's FSC Federal Security Bureau might intervene when the internal battle reaches a certain level of intensity, right?"
"Yes and no!"
Shi Lei explained with a smile, "Soviet Russia's FSC Federal Security Bureau might intervene, but not when the internal battle reaches a certain level of intensity, but when they're internally united."
"What do you mean?" Raphael asked, confused.
Shi Lei smiled and shook his head. "Finley, it seems like you don't understand Soviet Russia's economic situation.
It's not just Lijian Province that's experiencing an economic crisis. In fact, Soviet Russia's economic crisis is even worse.
In the online bounty post we posted, the amount of rewards promised is a huge sum of money for Soviet Russia's FSC Federal Security Bureau. "
Raphael nodded in understanding. "I understand. That means to say, Soviet Russia's FSC Federal Security Bureau might be attracted by the bounty and intervene in this online bounty campaign?"
"It's not just a possibility, it's still an absolute possibility!
It's just a matter of time.
Now, Soviet Russia's FSC Federal Security Bureau needs to guard against the little tricks of Lijian Province's three major intelligence agencies and prevent them from invading Soviet Russia's confidential network.
At the same time, they're also observing North Ossetia's network situation to determine if North Ossetia's network world is truly safe.
Once they've confirmed it, they'll enter North Ossetia's network world and take over the network system for the bounty, "Shi Lei explained the situation.
Previously, Soviet Russia's FSC Federal Security Bureau did not dare to appear in North Ossetia's network world on a large scale because they were worried that Lijian Province's three major intelligence agencies would attack Soviet Russia.
At the same time, North Ossetia's network situation was really bad.
Now, North Ossetia's network situation was basically clear. A large number of hackers who participated in the bounty were protecting the various official networks of the North Ossetia Autonomous Prefecture government.
Even if the FSC Federal Security Bureau intervened in North Ossetia's network world and Lijian Province's three major intelligence agencies attacked Soviet Russia's confidential network, the experts of the FSC Federal Security Bureau could calmly withdraw from North Ossetia's network world and return to defend Soviet Russia's confidential network without worrying about North Ossetia's network security.
After all, after the FSC Federal Security Bureau left, the other hackers who participated in the bounty would quickly fill the position of the FSC Federal Security Bureau. The tragedy of North Ossetia's network world would not happen again.
After Shi Lei's detailed explanation, Raphael finally understood that the reason for the change in attitude of the FSC Federal Security Bureau was the change in North Ossetia's network situation.
The security of North Ossetia's network was no longer a concern. The FSC Federal Security Bureau could attack or retreat, so they had more options.
"I see!"
Raphael laughed. "The involvement of the FSC Federal Security Bureau is better for North Ossetia's security situation.
However, Stone, if they really complete the bounty mission, do you want to pay them?
After all, this is their mission. The FSC Federal Security Bureau is obligated to protect North Ossetia's network security. They can't expect us to pay, right? "
Shi Lei chuckled. "As long as they want it, I'll give it to them!
I hope they take the money. This way, maybe we can get in touch with the FSC Federal Security Bureau and even maintain a cooperative relationship with them. "
Raphael once again admired Shi Lei in his heart. His awareness of developing potential allies was worthy of being able to defeat the Angel Council.
…
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed since North Ossetia's network war. The timeline came to March 14th.
Three days ago, the FSC Federal Security Bureau of Soviet Russia, as Shi Lei had predicted, intervened in North Ossetia's network world. With thunderous means, they easily obtained actual control of all the online bounty targets.
Including the urban power grid management systems of the three major cities, they also fell into the hands of the FSC Federal Security Bureau. This result made the peripheral members of the Black Watch organization gnash their teeth in anger.
However, several Legendary-level peripheral members of LE determined that the target was the FSC Federal Security Bureau and could only withdraw from the bounty list helplessly.
After all, they knew that they could not compete with the FSC Federal Security Bureau.
The other party had the strength and resources. How could they compete with the other party?
With the attack of the FSC Federal Security Bureau of Soviet Russia, the global hackers who were originally concerned about the bounty gradually lost interest in the bounty reward.
Although some hackers were unwilling to give up and posted all kinds of opinions on the Internet, the FSC Federal Security Bureau was simply a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. They did not care at all!
In three days, the FSC Federal Security Bureau showed stability like a stabilizing needle and firmly shook North Ossetia's network security. With the intervention of the FSC Federal Security Bureau, North Ossetia's network war seemed to have ended early.
Coincidentally, something happened in Xia Xia's territory that required Shi Lei to return to deal with it.
