Hope Angel Project

“Hello, General Hitta, please take a seat.” In the reception room, Horton smiled and invited the middle-aged man in military uniform in front of him.

“Hello, Manager Horton.” There was no expression on General Hitta’s sun-tanned face.

“I don’t know if you found us, General. What’s the problem? We declare in advance that we do not accept any entrustment to directly participate in the war.”

“Of course, Manager Horton, we already know about this,” said General Hitta. “But I’m still curious as to why a mercenary group with such potential as you would put a bright future ahead of you and do this kind of low-paying job instead?”

“Well, our boss decided to make money in a decent way, and it worked out well.” Horton shrugged. “Foreign companies, local rich people, and even people from the grey forces have come to us to place orders. Our current income is acceptable.”

“…I have a list here, which is from the Phitia government.” General Hitta handed a document to Horton, who took the list and glanced at it, his face becoming solemn.

“Paschlick, a district in the eastern part of Phitia,” said General Hiddah.

“The war over there has just ended, and the entire area is in an unstable state, but the army can’t take care of it at the moment. We need a few experienced mercenaries to maintain local law and order.”

“With all due respect, I would like to ask the League of Nations to propose that peacekeeping operations and humanitarian aid are more cost-effective,” Horton said with a blank expression.

“Those so-called aids will only make people’s brain fat and bloated,” General Hitta said expressionlessly.

“I’m curious, how are you going to restore the local people’s livelihood?” Horton was speechless at this answer.

“…This requires us to plan.”

“That’s not it?” Horton directly poked through the pretentious words of General Hiddah. Then a mysterious smile appeared.

“I have to say, General Hitta, Phitia is very lucky, very lucky.”

“What do you mean?” General Hittda looked at him with a bad expression.

“I mean, the  Steller Group Armed Security Company just happened to have a good plan recently, and we call it – the Hope Angel.” Horton said with a smile. With that said, he explained the plan in detail to General Hitta.

“…” After hearing this plan, General Hitta was silent.

Was he excited?

Just kidding, he was quite emotional!

“I need to ask my superiors for instructions,” he said.

The request with the superior went very smoothly, and soon, Phitia officially signed a contract with the Steller group happily. As for the specifics… let us turn our attention to Aglioro.

—————————

The next day, Aglioro put on his old whitish suit, kissed his wife and child goodbye, and arrived at the door of the Steller Group, when he was stopped.

“I remember your name is Aglioro, right?”

Looking at the middle-aged man in a black suit in front of him, he was one of the chief examiners during his interview.

“Yes sir,” Aglioro agreed quickly.

“From today onwards, I will be your boss Andre.” After speaking, Andre showed a cold smile. “I don’t know if you are lucky or unfortunate. You have a job on the first day of employment. It seems that I don’t have time for induction training for you, but it doesn’t matter. Put on this suit and make yourself look convincing. We’re going to a press conference where all your doubts will be resolved.”

“Okay.” Aglioro put on his slightly ill-fitting black suit and got into the car. Soon, they came to the conference venue, which was already crowded with reporters from various countries.

Just as Aglioro was puzzled, the foreign minister of Phitia cleared his throat before stepping onto the stage and said, “Today, on behalf of the government of the Phitia Union State, I officially made a plan to restore the people’s livelihood in Paschlick. After careful discussion and inspection, we officially decided to introduce the ‘Hope Angel’ plan of the Steller Group Armed Security Company. Starting today, Phitia will set up Paschlick as an autonomous region, and the livelihood restoration plan of Paschlick would be granted to the autonomous region government with the Steller Group Armed Security Company as the main body.”

“The Steller Group Armed Security Company would obtain the powers within the scope of Paschlick, including the formation of armed forces. The Steller Group Armed Security Company had the highest right to interpret various actions in Paschlick, and the Phitia government has no right to interfere.”

As soon as these words came out, the reporters below scrambled to ask questions like sharks smelling blood, and it took some effort for the foreign minister to calm them down.

A reporter stood up and said, “Hello, I am from the Sunny Horn newspaper. I would like to ask the Phitia government, does this mean that Phitia can no longer control the situation in the country?”

“Miss. I can tell you responsibly that the Phitia Union State has the ability and confidence to protect the citizens from harm. The duty of the temporary autonomous government established by the  Steller Group Armed Security Company is to quickly restore the regional economy. The armed forces are also strictly limited, with the purpose of dealing with the violent terrorists who are still rioting there and endangering the lives of civilians. They are not completely independent groups. When the plan is completed, they will hand over their autonomy to the government.”

“Soon, the company staff in charge of  Paschlick will take the stage to answer reporters’ questions, and you can ask him about any questions.”

After answering a few questions, the minister stepped down and was replaced by Andre. He said, “I am the plenipotentiary spokesperson of the  Steller Group Armed Security Company in Paschlick, and also the commander-in-chief of the Angel of Hope Project in  Paschlick – Andre Rigitya.”

“Mr. Rigitya, does the  Steller Group Armed Security Company fully represent the Phitia government’s affairs in  Paschlick, does it mean that you will refuse international humanitarian aid?”

“Please correct your words, sir, we are only responsible for the general presidency. To restore the peace and stability of  Paschlick, we also need the joint assistance of the people of the world.”

“Then, can you describe your company’s Angel of Hope plan in detail?”

“Of course,” Andrei said.

“The Hope Angel Project is a charitable plan formulated by the chairman of the company and unanimously approved by the company’s top management to restore stability in chaotic regions, promote regional economic prosperity, and protect the rights and interests of employers. We use various means to to promote economic development and democracy building in the region, and eventually achieve full recovery…”#pleasethischapteratfanstranslation.com

Hearing Andrei’s description, Aglioro in the audience grew up in surprise. He never thought that a group of mercenaries would be involved in this kind of work, and it was his own specialty! For a time, Aglioro felt quite uneasy.

but……

Is it really just that?
