The Red Room's database was not hard to hack; their technological value itself was very low.
For Osborn, it provided at most some engineering and biological experience; there was nothing particularly noteworthy.
By comparison, the list of the Widow network that Dreykov had across the World was very useful, and Harry could let A and UIS identify at the first opportunity which countries would experience war because of it.
Unlike proxy wars, the wars instigated by the Widow network were purely civil wars; there was no one supporting these wars from behind the scenes.
This kind of war spread like a plague across the World, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Central America.
Norman could easily settle the problems in the Central America region, as those places were already under his control.
As for the rest, except for the wars in Africa, Norman could also get involved, but he would only get involved just a little.
To show the World his attitude as a peaceful President, Norman naturally would not fan the flames; besides, there was no need to. No matter who was fighting, they couldn't interfere with Oscorp opening branch offices, and they would even support it.
Norman only needed to show his sincerity to the major powers; as for the rest, this was a World of free trade.
And in reality, without the U.S. causing trouble, these wars would not last long.
Secondly, in the Middle East, since there was no longer any confrontation, everyone could calmly turn it into a round table, where everyone could carve out a piece of land for themselves.
Anyway, oil wasn't that valuable anymore, so everyone could take what they needed and extract it peacefully.
As for the issue of faith, since the big brothers had settled down, if you weren't afraid of death, you could charge ahead; at worst, they would just swap in a lackey to occupy that territory.
For those engaging in civil wars, Harry certainly wouldn't sell them weapons to get rich, but he could take advantage of this brief period of chaos to purchase land at ultra-low prices and engage in massive monopolization.
Major powers had comprehensive anti-monopoly laws and powerful means of enforcement, but small countries did not.
They might have laws, but against a behemoth like Osborn, they lacked the comprehensive laws and strength to impose sanctions.
Especially in Africa, this place was a treasure trove; with the World economy in turmoil today, Osborn could buy up more territory.
After all, land itself had little value, especially in regions mired in war.
Only when paired with the corresponding infrastructure would these territories become increasingly valuable.
And Africa didn't have any major powers, but it did have a high-tech nation hiding behind an invisibility field—Wakanda.
Everything in this nation's technology was built upon Vibranium, a special metal with extremely rich functions, and it had hidden itself in 200 AD.
To be honest, this move might actually be considered wise.
If Wakanda used its overwhelming technology to conquer Earth, it would undoubtedly succeed.
But after succeeding, humanity would become dependent on Vibranium, and Vibranium technology would be pushed to the entire World:
Wakanda was a small place, so it had only used a little bit of Vibranium over several millennia, living a life like a paradise.
If the demand expanded to the entire World, undoubtedly, it would be like there was another "oil" in the World, which would again lead to more wars, such as "Vibranium Wars."
And Wakanda might become what the Middle East was now; the difference was that now it was white people fighting others, while in that World, it would be black people fighting others.
Back to the present, there were actually Wakandan people everywhere in Africa, and after Harry bought large tracts of land there, all kinds of local talents began submitting resumes to Osborn.
However, for anyone from any country in the World submitting a resume to Osborn, as long as they had a skill and were willing to learn new technology, Osborn could accommodate them.
But for a closed, paradise-like monarchy like Wakanda, the people there had no concept of contractual spirit with a company like Osborn; employment agreements and non-disclosure agreements were just bullshit. When the King came before them, they had to obey; monarchical power was very important to them.
Even if these applicants were truly just ordinary people from Wakanda, Harry did not doubt for a second that they could shout "Long live Wakanda" and then sell themselves out completely.
Harry naturally would not hire these highly educated black talents from "Third World countries" with unclear backgrounds.
So, when the King T'Chaka before him finished expounding on the recent upheavals in African countries and seeking help, he specifically mentioned the discrimination some multinational corporations had against their race.
"The World situation is changing rapidly. In the past week, more than 30 African countries have fallen into war, and countless ordinary people have been displaced. We all know that the present World urgently needs us to unite together, not divide."
Hearing these words from T'Chaka, Harry sat in the audience and smiled.
This King was quite interesting; on one hand, he needed to keep Wakanda isolated from the World and maintain its status as a paradise.
On the other hand, he actively projected an image of a backward Third World country in the international community to unite with other small African nations and speak out. For instance, right now, he actually wanted other countries to actively accept refugees.
However, today, most of the representatives from small countries were absent, especially those from African countries.
"We believe that this war was instigated by evil forces, and we will not yield to these evil forces that plunge the World into chaos."
"We will strive to make our World a better place. Thank you very much, Agent Natasha Romanoff."
Harry barely listened to the rest of the speech; he yawned and looked at Natasha Romanoff beside him.
As the vanguard in striking the Red Room, Alexei was receiving an award in Russia, while Natasha Romanoff was active outside.
"Agent, he is thanking you."
"Are you too idle? I thought people like you spent every day either researching or figuring out how to make money?" Natasha Romanoff glanced at Harry.
"Sometimes that's the case, but most of the time it's quite free. Are you not planning to go catch up on the classic movies released over these years with your old father?"
Just as Harry wanted to say something more, Prince T'Challa walked behind the two of them and frowned at the two whispering to each other.
So Harry shrugged, shut his mouth, and waited until the report ended.
After it ended, King T'Chaka naturally sought out Harry, and Harry's original purpose was to make contact with him anyway.
"Very pleased to meet you, King T'Chaka, and Prince T'Challa." Harry bowed slightly.
"Likewise, Mr. Osborn; you are truly young and promising." In private, T'Chaka was a kind-looking old King, with none of the royal majesty he displayed during his speech.
However, this was only the case for someone at Harry's level; after all, T'Chaka was essentially still a King, and he valued people of importance more.
This could be seen in his son, T'Challa, who detested democratic politics and believed it was a sign of inefficiency.
And T'Challa's first impression of Harry was very poor: because Harry was whispering during his father's speech.
Harry then said: "Please allow me to express my regrets regarding recent events."
"I do as well. Could Oscorp provide some help to the refugees?"
T'Chaka did not mince words and cut directly to the topic.
