Angola.
After the call ended, Murmi looked at Lirick and hastily asked,"Netu," Lirick casually stated their chosen candidate."Should we retain our armed forces?""Retaining armed forces should be impossible." Lirick shook his head. "There's no need to retain them. Our goal has been achieved, and the next person to take office will definitely be one of us.""What if this is a conspiracy and Mbo goes back on his word?""No, they won't dare go back on their word, we have a backup plan," Lirick said. He didn't mention that Mbo was their man, so it didn't matter whether they kept their armed forces or not."Then I'll go prepare for the negotiations now."With Lirick's assurance, Murmi felt much more at ease.As Mbo detained Vasoren, Anskey, and others, the people of Angola, under the extensive propaganda of the media and television broadcasts, finally abandoned their protests and demonstrations. The public began to calm down, and the situation in Angola gradually improved.Not long after, news spread from the Opposition Armed Forces and the military that both sides had ceased fire and would engage in peace talks.As soon as the news broke, the United Nations expressed strong welcome and promised to dispatch a mediation team to Angola as quickly as possible to help facilitate the peace talks between the two sides.Countries like the US and Europe subsequently issued comments, hoping that the peace talks would proceed with respect for Angola's domestic interests, with the Opposition Armed Forces taking the lead in forming an interim management, to ensure that the human rights of the Angolan people would not be harmed before a new leader was elected.When the news came out, international public opinion was in an uproar.Releasing such openly supportive statements for the Opposition Armed Forces at this time was perplexing.When the two sides were in confrontation, countries like the US and Europe secretly sold weapons to the Opposition Armed Forces, which was already quite disgraceful.Due to the international public opinion against Vasoren, and the fact that the Opposition Armed Forces seemed to be the 'just' side, many countries only spoke verbally, without any intense remarks; everyone understood in their hearts.Now that the US and Europe were making such demands, openly supporting the Opposition Armed Forces, were they trying to make the negotiations collapse? Some journalists and commentators couldn't help but analyze their relevant remarks as having ulterior motives.However, the outside world was accustomed to their behavior.Apart from news commentators and the public mocking a few words on the internet, no one else said much, only hoping that Angola's negotiations would proceed smoothly to avoid another war.Soon, negotiations between the two sides began smoothly.Under the witness of the United Nations mediation team, after 'intense' negotiations, both sides announced the success of the talks.The Opposition Armed Forces agreed to the military's demand to disband their forces, but they insisted on leading the formation of the interim management, demanding amnesty for all crimes committed by their armed forces, and simultaneously releasing all faction members arrested by Vasoren and prosecuting Vasoren.The military agreed to the conditions of the Opposition Armed Forces, not to prosecute the crimes of all defecting soldiers, allowing soldiers to return to their original units or choose to retire, and granting the Opposition faction leadership of the interim management until a new president is elected.The faction where Vasoren belonged was the largest faction in Angola. In this struggle, Mbo defected, detaining all core members of the faction, resulting in heavy losses. Now, there isn't even one person left who can represent them publicly.In this struggle, the opposition peacefully resolved the dispute and gained considerable prestige. This means that in the next election, there will be no party that can compete with them, and the next president will most likely be from their ranks.The two sides appeared to be negotiating, but only a few people knew that this negotiation was merely a pretense; in reality, they were negotiating with themselves.Both sides got the answers they wanted, the negotiations were successful, and the peaceful resolution of the dispute brought cheers throughout Angola.Their country was on the brink of war, and the coolness of both sides spared them from the ravages of conflict. This outcome won the goodwill and support of all citizens. In particular, the opposition's decision to abandon their armed forces was praised by all Angolan media as being for the nation and its people. The opposition's prestige also reached a peak, becoming Angola's new largest faction.International countries also welcomed this result.Not long after, the opposition announced the nomination of Netu to take over the interim presidential position and lead the establishment of Angola's interim government departments.After Netu took office, his first act was to visit the only region affected by the conflict, providing compensation and condolences to the families of civilians caught in the war, and then also compensating soldiers who were wounded or killed in the conflict, appeasing the public, and promising to increase employment income.A series of actions, heavily promoted by Angolan media, caused Netu's favorability among ordinary citizens to rise rapidly. Before the Angolan election even began, Netu had already become the hottest candidate.Everything seemed to have settled down, and Angola was gradually calming, preparing for the early election.Angolan Presidential Palace.A man in a suit sat in the presidential office, full of vigor; he was Netu, the newly appointed interim president. At this moment, Netu's face was adorned with a radiant, persistent smile, as if he had shed more than ten years from his age.This was the highest position of power in Angola, a place he had once dreamed of, and now he was its master. Thinking of the person who put him in this position, Netu felt a surge of awe, admiration, and a touch of fear.As Netu rejoiced, the office door opened, and Lirick walked in."You're here."Netu's face broke into a smile, as if seeing an old friend."How does this position feel? Comfortable?" Lirick sat opposite Netu, not treating the place as a presidential office at all."Not bad, it's all thanks to you all." Netu's smile remained on his face."You called me over, what's the matter?"Lirick got straight to the point."I want to meet with Mr. Can you contact Mr. once?" Netu rubbed his hands, his eyes filled with hope.He was one of those who knew the inside story; the person controlling all of this was the mysterious Mr. behind the scenes.This position could be changed instantly with a single word from Ridman, so he still needed to meet Mr. to show his loyalty. However, Mr.'s whereabouts were always mysterious, and not many people could contact him. He only knew Lirick."I'll ask." Lirick nodded, pulled out an encrypted satellite phone from his pocket, and dialed a number: "Mr., this is Lirick.""Mm, speak." A deep voice came from the other end of the phone."Netu says he wants to meet you."Neither of them knew that their conversation was being monitored.At the Army Ant Headquarters, Chen Mo was in the laboratory, quietly listening to their conversation, hearing every word through Ink girl's simultaneous translation.The map Ink girl brought up showed that both call addresses were within Angola. One was at the Presidential Palace, which was Lirick's voice, and the other was on a private island off the coast of Angola.Satellite images showed a luxurious villa on the island.The Mr. behind the scenes should be inside.The 'Mr.' Lirick mentioned, judging by his respectful tone, should be the mastermind behind the entire Angolan upheaval. The newly appointed interim president of Angola wants to meet this mysterious Mr., which suggests that the situation is very complex, and this person indeed has considerable influence."Ink girl, save their call recording, and also save the surveillance videos of Lirick entering and exiting the Presidential Palace. Investigate the owner of this island and villa for me," Chen Mo said, looking at the holographic projection of the island floating before him.This call seemed to have led him to the mastermind behind all of this. He wanted to see what kind of crazy person would orchestrate vfv bioterrorism and manipulate an entire country.
