Courtyard House: Why is my time-travel experience so shabby?

After taking the telegram handed over by Gibson and just taking a quick glance at it, Du Weiguo's face immediately became gloomy.

"Boats from England and Citigroup are here? They've locked onto the Kunpeng?"

The telegram was sent by Rhodes, and its content stated that the joint fleet of Citi and England had just entered Kemper Bay and locked onto the underwater Kunpeng through the ship-borne radar.

"Yes, sir."

Gibson nodded calmly:

"The Citigroup Pacific Fourth Fleet and the Royal Ocean Fleet have dispatched ships here, a total of 6 cruisers, 8 frigates, and 4 destroyers."

"Tsk tsk~"

Du Weiguo handed the telegram back to him, took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette, smacked his lips without comment, and said jokingly:

"The lineup is quite luxurious, isn't it? Gibson, can you help me interpret this? What exactly do they mean by putting on this posture?"

Gibson is a capable and experienced double agent who comes from MI6, but his hidden identity is a sting planted by the KGB.

In MI6, he became the head of India and West Asia. In the KGB, he had a direct line of communication with Nikonov and knew the entire intelligence world like the back of his hand.

Now, he has become Du Weiguo's personal liaison officer and also serves as an intelligence analyst.

Du Weiguo intended to train him and Sergei to become the intelligence chiefs of Guyana, so that they could supervise and check and balance each other.

"Sir, the situation is very clear now. They are threatening to use force in an attempt to stop or intercept our launch of the Big Pineapple, and they also want to force us to negotiate actively."

"Threat of force, negotiation~"

Du Weiguo pondered over these words and slowly exhaled the smoke, a hint of ambiguous light flashing in his eyes.

"Gibson, if we insist on launching the Diablo, do you think they can stop us? Will they take the initiative to attack the Kunpeng?"

"Hmm~" Gibson murmured.

After a while, he said seriously:

"The nuclear warhead on the Kunpeng is carried by a Soviet-made R27 ballistic missile. The initial velocity of the underwater launch can exceed Mach 2. At this speed, the ship's machine guns and missiles will definitely not be able to stop it."

After a pause, he continued:

"As for actively attacking, I don't think they dare. They were already intimidated by your power, and after the big pineapple explodes, they will be even more afraid."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Du Weiguo nodded.

"Gibson, tell Rhodes to ignore their threats and launch the missiles as planned at 11:58 on time, four missiles at once!"

"Yes, sir," Gibson replied in a deep voice.

He was about to turn around when Du Weiguo pressed his shoulder and added:

"Also, tell Rhode that if the combined fleet really attacks the Kunpeng, tell him to abandon the ship immediately and escape to ensure his own safety."

Rhodes' ability is mechanical control, which allows him to achieve the integration of man and ship. He personally modified the Kunpeng and set up an escape route.

No matter what situation you face, you can still get out of it safely.

Moreover, as a person with special abilities, although Rhodes' combat power is relatively poor, his physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people and he has enough power to protect himself.

"Yes, sir." A hint of tenderness flashed in Gibson's eyes.

He likes such bosses who are willing to put the lives of their subordinates first, and for this reason, they are willing to give up even the most advanced nuclear submarines without hesitation.

"Du Da, have you really thought it through? Once these big pineapples are launched, we will have no room for maneuver. We can only run in one direction until the end."

Miss Hu was still somewhat skeptical, so she came closer and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Du Weiguo flicked the cigarette butt into pieces. He stared at the tiny pieces of tobacco and sparks floating in the air, and said with a curled lip:

"Think it over carefully. Otherwise, there will be no room for maneuver. We will have become the global enemy long ago."

He put his arm around Miss Hu's shoulders and patted her affectionately:

"Alright, Hu Da, don't think about it. The atmosphere has already been set to this point. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Just do it!"

"That's right, it's time to do it! Old ladies just waste time."

Hu San suddenly came in, pulled Miss Hu away, then hooked his hands around Du Weiguo's neck and whispered.

"Brother-in-law, don't pay attention to her. Let's figure out when to return to China."

The century-old iron tree has blossomed, and Hu San has been a little bit overwhelmed lately.

He was extremely concerned about returning to the north to rescue Xiaorong and to please Madam Yuan. He was even a little impatient. He didn't care about anything else.

"Hu Laosan, what do you think of your achievements?"

Miss Hu gave him a disdainful look, but she didn't say anything harsh, nor did she continue to argue with him.

Her brother had been a widower for many years and it was rare for him to develop feelings for a woman, so she was quite supportive of him in her heart. As for Mrs. Yuan's hideous face, she didn't care too much about it.

Big Fox is a staunch member of the Appearance Association, but she will not interfere with other people's preferences.

Du Weiguo was also quite helpless:

"What are you researching? Third brother, didn't I tell you before? Let's talk about it after we finish dealing with the matters of Tianzhu and Kui Sect."

"What else is there to do?" Hu San said with a drooling face:

"When the pineapple rings, won't Tianzhu's matter be over? Anyway, we don't have anything to do right now, so why don't we discuss it first?"

Du Weiguo was just about to say a few perfunctory words to him when Gibson came back with a telegram.

"Sir, we have contacted Mr. Rhodes, but the British and American joint fleet just issued a statement in plain text on all channels."

Without answering the message, Du Weiguo frowned impatiently and said:

"Just tell me, what's the content?"

"Sir, the Combined Fleet just issued a warning. As long as we launch the Big Pineapple, they will immediately launch an attack. Moreover, they do not rule out the possibility of attacking other targets of ours."

"Oh, are you kidding me?" Du Weiguo curled his lips with a forced smile.

"Gibson, you will also immediately issue a statement on all channels to announce to the world the exact time we will launch the Big Pineapple."

Gibson took out a small notebook from his pocket and started recording.

"At the same time, if any of our territory is attacked, even if it is unknown, I will detonate the Big Pineapple in Washington."

"Uh~" Gibson's movements suddenly stopped and he was stunned.

This order is too outrageous and too damn tough. What kind of place is Washington? The capital of Citigroup, the political hub, the home of the White House and the Pentagon.

Regardless of whether he dares to really bomb Washington, as long as this clear text message is sent out on all channels, it would be a naked provocation, almost equivalent to a declaration of war.

Citigroup cannot turn a blind eye, even if it is just for the sake of face.

At the critical moment of completely angering the entire Tianzhu and becoming the public enemy of the world, at the same time, he was stimulating a superpower to the extreme. This choice was obviously not rational, it was simply crazy.

"Sir, why don't you reconsider it~" As an aide, Gibson instinctively wanted to persuade him.

"Gibson, just send the telegram according to what Wesley said, without changing a single word!" Miss Hu suddenly said.

Although Miss Hu had some doubts in her heart, as long as Du Weiguo had made a decision, she would unconditionally and 100% support it.

Moreover, she also understood that the current situation was that the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, and there was no turning back.

If he gave up just because he was intimidated by the US-UK joint fleet, the prestige that Du Weiguo had worked so hard to build would inevitably collapse, and his words would be worse than farts in the future.

"Yes, I understand."

Gibson looked at Du Weiguo again, and when he saw him nod in agreement, he nodded in agreement with a serious expression.

In fact, at this moment, while he was feeling nervous, an indescribable sense of pride surged up into his heart.

This is his new boss, who is invincible and dares to challenge Britain and the United States, and even become the enemy of the whole world, by his own strength.

Gibson's execution ability was very strong. Just a few minutes later, Du Weiguo's extremely arrogant declaration of war spread to every corner of the world through radio waves.

The world was in uproar in an instant!

All the bigwigs from various countries who were important enough to receive this message were stunned.

In Washington, the White House, the Special Operations Room, the outgoing president of Citigroup was furious and immediately convened a meeting with the vice president, the secretary of defense, the secretary of state, and the director of the CIA.

Johnson was really angry. He was forced to agree to the deployment of the British and American fleet to Kemper Bay.

And he knew nothing about the plain text message that threatened Du Weiguo to go crazy.

The reason for this situation is that he is about to step down, and the president's authority has long been shaken, and is even a bit in name only.

Damn, he finally understood that someone wanted to take advantage of his impending resignation to put all the blame on him.

Given Du Weiguo's aggressive personality, if he gets pissed off, he might really dare to use a pineapple to blow up Washington. He can't take the blame for this.

In Moscow, the Kremlin held an emergency high-level meeting, also under the chairmanship of Brezhnev.

However, the atmosphere here was completely different from that of Citibank. Every leader present was in high spirits, so excited that they were almost popping champagne to celebrate.

As a third party in the Cold War, the Russian bears are naturally happy to see Du Weiguo and Citigroup fall out, and they are eager to add fuel to the fire and let them start the fight sooner.

Some people even suggested that the Russian submarines should be disguised as Citigroup ships, equipped with Citigroup weapons, to attack Du Weiguo's territory.

However, this suggestion was ultimately rejected.

The risk is too great. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Once it is discovered, it is easy to backfire and destroy the current good situation.

Some people also suggested that they should immediately send Du Weiguo a few more pineapples, the kind with super-large equivalent, which would be best if they could raze several major cities of Citibank to the ground.

However, this suggestion was also rejected because the purpose of killing someone with a borrowed knife was too obvious.

Not only will it easily trigger a fierce response from Citigroup, it may also arouse Du Weiguo's disgust. If you can't win the game, you have to give up the rice. Moreover, Du Weiguo is already so powerful that no more weapons can be stuffed into his hands.

In addition, there is 10 Downing Street in England, the Elysee Palace in France, the Prime Minister's Residence in Japan, the Blue House in South Korea, and Zhongnanhai in Beijing.

Leaders are holding small meetings in almost all the hubs of various countries.

The attitude of the vast majority of people is gloating, and they hope that Citi and Du Weiguo will fight each other as soon as possible, including several of Citi's die-hard followers.

Du Weiguo knew nothing about the turmoil in the outside world, nor did he want to know. After Gibson sent out the declaration of war, he shut down the radio station and cut off contact.

He sat cross-legged on a rock, smoking and chatting calmly, even about unimportant topics.

"Hu Da, what is the Blood Bodhi you mentioned to me last time? Is it a mutation of Tai Sui?"

"Blood Bodhi?" Miss Hu was a little surprised.

"Why did you suddenly remember this?"

Du Weiguo took a puff of cigarette and said something nonsense:

"Although our group of evil spirits are powerful and each of them is a top expert, we are still a little outnumbered. I am thinking about how to improve our overall strength.

Isn't this a natural treasure like the Blood Bodhi? This thing works even when I eat it raw. If I can make it into a pill, wouldn't it be more effective?"

"What? Boy Du, have you ever eaten Blood Bodhi? And ate it raw?" Lin Jiaojiao suddenly screamed.

"Tsk, you know this again?" Miss Hu rolled her eyes at her in annoyance.

Lin Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes, puffed out her chest, and said confidently:

"Nonsense? Of course I know that. Even though your Hu family is the leader of the Ma family, when it comes to alchemy and medicine, our Lin family is the leader."

"Uh~" It was rare for Miss Hu to be humiliated in front of Lin Jiaojiao, and she was speechless.

Even though Lin Jiaojiao had been living a miserable life in Luofu Mountain before, like a beggar, she was not a casual cultivator, but had a heritage.

Although the Lin family is not among the Five Immortals, that is because lynxes are rare and difficult to breed.

Unlike weasels, which give birth to one litter a year, with at least 6 or 7 babies in each litter, the reason why the Huang family became one of the Five Immortals was purely due to their numbers.

The Lin family outside the Great Wall is a very serious family. They are particularly good at making medicine and curing diseases. They have a long family tradition of medicine and are said to have learned from the great doctor Wan Mi Zhai of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, Lin Jiaojiao became obsessed with raising Gu, and it also started with studying pharmacological cases.

Du Weiguo became interested: "Lin Jiaojiao, then tell me, what exactly is this blood bodhi?"

"Hey~ Then I'll just keep talking."

Lin Jiaojiao smiled, her eyebrows raised, and she glanced at Miss Hu provocatively, saying proudly:

"You guessed right. Blood Bodhi is indeed a variant of Tai Sui, but it is extremely rare. If Tai Sui is born in a dark and watery place, it will turn yellow in 300 years, brown in 600 years, and take a thousand years to turn yellow."

"Two minutes left! Rod is about to launch the Pineapple!"

Miss Hu couldn't bear to see her being so proud, so she suddenly interrupted her loudly.

"Lin Jiaojiao, please stop talking nonsense for now. Let's talk about it in detail when we have time after we have dealt with Luo Lan from Tianzhu and the Kui Sect."

"Hu Laowu, you fucking~~" Lin Jiaojiao suddenly got furious.

Two minutes later, everyone present felt their hair stand on end and their scalps tingling, as they sensed that danger was approaching rapidly.

It’s easy to guess that the four big pineapples on the Kunpeng have been shot out!

Although the target of the Big Pineapple attack was more than 80 kilometers away from them and there were dozens of mountains between them, the huge feeling of suffocation was still overwhelming. (End of this chapter)
