What Delta? Isn't it Operation Assara?

Chapter 187 Ambition

"But so what?" Hudson continued.

"Do you know what my deepest feeling was when my country was destroyed, Mr. Hamk?" Before Hamk could react, Hudson continued, "When problems arise, either someone has to withstand the pressure from the entire system to solve them."

"Either we all sit down and argue, coming up with one feasible solution after another that might satisfy everyone but ultimately fails to solve the problem."

"And then, watch everything fall apart," Hudson continued.

"It may fall into the abyss, burn into flames, or become the topic of conversation for people in other countries."

"Do you know why I came to find you, Mr. Hamk?"

"Because we are the same kind of people!" Hudson continued.

"Those incredibly stupid guys think I did all this to seize power and for profit, but they don't know that I am the heir to the Hudson family and the leader of the Hudson Group."

Power, wealth, and status—things that seem crucial to others—are, to me, merely byproducts of my birth.

"I could have stood by and watched, turning a blind eye to everything Hafk did, just like you. You could have avoided this mess and instead lived like Reese, completely driven by your own desires."

Or you could find a place to spend your old age in peace. That shouldn't be difficult for you, or for us. Compared to the path we're on now, that would undoubtedly be easier and more comfortable.

"But you don't, and neither do I," Hudson continued.

At this point, Hamke was already somewhat moved, but Hudson's outburst was not over yet.

"You know, Asara had no choice; Hafk was the only one!"

"Those great powers monopolized the world's discourse through war and suppressed the development of other small countries through military and economic colonization."

They talk about peace and justice, but behind the scenes, they resort to all sorts of means, including arms sales, economic infiltration, and malicious dumping.

Those glamorous representatives of justice on high platforms are precisely the core of the root causes of hegemony and war!

It is the culprit that makes children cry in the ruins, makes mothers remember their husbands and sons at their graves, and makes blood and flesh replace peace!

Cough cough..."

A short while later, Hudson took another breath from his asthma inhaler, and Hamk just watched and listened quietly.

"There are even more foolish idiots who, in order to be dogs for a great power, sold off all of their country's land, minerals, and farmland, and even wiped out generations of their own people in proxy wars, causing millions to lose their lives in the war."

In the end, even pregnant women were sent to the battlefield!

"The law of the jungle and natural selection is an eternal truth in this world!"

Would you want such a tragedy to happen to Asara?

"I don't want to," Hamk finally spoke, his voice trembling as he replied.

He was truly moved; he never imagined that Hudson would actually understand him!

"Asara is a wonderful country, but technologically backward."

You know, Hamk, Asara wants to complete industrialization on his own, then gradually catch up with the world's advanced levels, and then have the power to protect himself—that's wishful thinking!

Some major powers can achieve this because they are already world-class. Once you study them, you will understand that as the only successful case on that path, their success is not replicable.

Asara is rich in various resources, including human resources, minerals, oil, and rare earth elements.

At the same time, it boasts a long history and a wealth of valuable artifacts, yet Asara lacks the power to protect it all, commensurate with its wealth.

"A child carrying gold through a bustling marketplace, haha..."

"Even without Hafk, other major powers would have reached into Asara. Compared to their methods, Hafk has been quite lenient, hasn't he?"

Over the past century, wars, plagues, and famines artificially created through hegemony and economic sanctions...

The disasters they have caused in this world are countless!

And look at GTI, what have those self-proclaimed righteous guys actually done?

They engaged in combat, searched, and then withdrew, slaughtering Asara's defense forces and plundering Asara's artifacts and collections.

The GTI operators even competed with each other, comparing who looted more in Asara and who killed more Asara Guard soldiers!

After speaking, Hudson's voice rose a few decibels, though he still sounded very weak due to his serious injuries.

"That's true for me too!"

Asara could have been a beacon of progress for the world, a dreamland for countless people, a paradise that truly emerged from mythology and was no longer an illusory illusion!

But you, they, the vermin among Asara and Hafk, have ruined everything.

"Within Asara, ambitious individuals like Reis and Youssef have instigated riots and used war to their own advantage."

People like Said, full of enthusiasm but only able to drift with the tide, cause even greater disasters under the control of ambitious figures behind them.

To be honest, although Saeed is my enemy and he is the one who caused me to get to where I am today, I admire him.

Saeed could not solve Asara’s problem because he was stupid, and stupidity has power—that is his sin!

Saeed is even less capable of allowing Asara to develop.

"Within Hafk, conservatives, represented by Demulan, remained silent, protecting their own interests, and watched the victims become hysterical!"

They used Hafk as a platform to establish personal authority and accumulate capital. Everyone was frantically seizing the benefits that should belong to Asara and Hafk as a whole from the budget Hafk was using to build paradise in Asara.

Embezzling public funds and harming others for personal gain!

Like pigs rooting for food in their troughs, some fools even stick their hooves in, as if they'd gain some kind of divine enlightenment by taking down Hafk.

"In this way, they desecrated Hafk's dream of building a paradise on earth, a future kingdom."

Asara has been transformed into a hideous hell, a place that continues to bleed Hafk dry through localized warfare and festering wounds!

"With declining revenue and rising costs, how long can Hafk hold on?"

What will become of our Hafk in the end?

"Things have come to this point, and these idiots who messed everything up, especially Demulan, still have the nerve to act like righteous people, pointing fingers at others from a superior position!"

"Cough cough..." Hudson coughed lightly a few more times.

After taking a deep breath from his asthma inhaler, Hudson was able to catch his breath.

"I never expected that a young master like you could have such insight!"

"Living a long time is good; you can see everything." Hamk looked at Hudson on the hospital bed and continued.

"What are your plans?" Hamk asked Hudson.

"If the former king were to return now, how confident are you of success?"
