Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

Hong Kong Kowloon Walled City

Fei Bo has been in high spirits recently.

Due to the large number of mainlanders who fled to Hong Kong, it became overcrowded, especially in the lawless slums, where tens of thousands of mainlanders suddenly poured in. Among these refugees, there were men and women, rich and poor. When entering an unfamiliar environment, one must find a supporter or a group to keep warm. Those with large families and fierce brothers were immediately absorbed by gangs and were able to survive. Those whose families had money but no one, or people without money, were more miserable and were bullied by gang bullies. Women were dragged to work as prostitutes, and men were dragged to have their blood drawn.

As one of the few big men in Kowloon Walled City, Fei Bo must have made a lot of money. The beautiful woman serving him now is the wife of a small boss. She fled from the mainland to Hong Kong in fear and was robbed on the way. She only had a few small goldfish hidden on her body. After coming to Hong Kong, she did not live a happy and stable life, but was blackmailed by local gangs and bullies. Now she is penniless, and her husband was beaten half to death and is bedridden. The wife can only make a living by selling smiles.

The population of Kowloon Walled City increased dramatically, and Fei Bo's power also expanded rapidly. He has firmly occupied the first place in Kowloon Walled City. Wu Shihao and several other bigwigs were overwhelmed by him. Now Fei Bo is not satisfied with only the small place of Kowloon Walled City, and wants to stretch his claws outside Kowloon Walled City. But the territory outside Kowloon Walled City is all Changle's territory. He didn't dare to fight with Changle before because Li Dazhuang was too powerful. It was a taboo in Hong Kong. Whoever touches him will die. Another reason is that Changle Gang has a lot of people, and he is no match at all.

Due to the recent rapid expansion, he had the illusion that he could compete with Changle. Instigated by several new brothers who were eager to show off, he finally took the first step towards his own death and sent his new brothers to occupy a karaoke bar and a casino in Changle. He was also lucky that Changle was sending people to Nanyang for development and there was a vacancy, so he didn't react. This also boosted his arrogance, and he was ready to continue to work hard to conquer more maps.

Kowloon Villa District

In Lao Yang's villa, Haitang, Meigui, Shen Yuting and other wives and concubines of Lao Yang gathered together to listen to the report from housekeeper Tian.

"Ladies, due to the master's recent strategic adjustment, the elites of Changle Group and Changle Gang have been selected and sent to the Nanyang region. More than 2000 members have gone out to sea in batches, resulting in a serious shortage of local manpower in Hong Kong. In addition, our gang has accumulated prestige for a long time without provocation, which has led to slackness. Today, Fei Bo from Chaoshan Gang provoked us and occupied a nightclub and two casinos in Kowloon. The brothers suffered a heavy loss of five people, two seriously injured, and twenty slightly injured! This is the most serious loss since the establishment of our Changle Gang. The brothers below are very angry and demanded that the Kowloon Walled City be razed to the ground, Fei Bo be captured alive, and be cut into pieces to apologize! Since Master Deng is not here, the brothers hope that the ladies will make a decision to promote the reputation of Changle!"

Haitang and Shen Yuting were the most angry among the women and were considered the war faction. Although the other women were also very angry, they were very restrained and did not want a major conflict to affect the implementation of Nanyang's plan. Haitang and Shen Yuting advocated tit-for-tat and violence against violence, and sent elite gangs to kill Fei Bo. This was also Lao Yang's consistent style, if he didn't move, it would be fine, but if he moved, it would shock the world and kill with one blow.

After consultation, the ladies and housekeeper Tian decided to give up the territory around Kowloon Walled City first, to lure out the Chaoshan gang members, and then defeat them one by one after they dispersed. It would be best to lure Fei Bo out and kill him outside the walled city, so that other gangs in Kowloon Walled City would quickly swallow up Fei Bo's power.

After everyone made a plan, Butler Tian hurried away to implement it. Suddenly, Hong Kong and Kowloon were in turmoil, and a storm was about to come!

In a villa in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong, Charles was sorting out the information left by Soli and the latest surveillance records. Li Dazhuang disappeared shortly after the martial arts conference ended. An investigation showed that Li Dazhuang returned to the mainland, and the specific reason was unknown. Only Li Dazhuang's wife and concubine were left in the villa. The only thing that confused Charles was that the companies under the name of Changle Company all invested in Indonesia. They rented an island in Indonesia to set up a mercenary company, and the development focus was shifted to the Nanyang region.

Charles also took advantage of this gap to instigate Fei Bo to come out and stir up trouble. After Charles' analysis, he believed that Li Dazhuang was a complete martial arts fanatic, the kind of person who practiced martial arts to the point of being stupid in China. Relying on his capital and martial arts, he was invincible. The failure of the martial arts conference stimulated Li Dazhuang and made him do such irrational behavior.

In Charles's cognition, this kind of Li Dazhuang is the real Li Dazhuang. As for the issue of superhuman strength mentioned by Soli, Charles has not seen it yet. He has only watched some videos and reports, which cannot cause any direct impact on him. He thinks that the videos and rumors are exaggerated.

Charles' investigation was not as obscure as Soli's. Instead, he openly established three surveillance points in the Kowloon villa area. He openly monitored the villa personnel. Although Charles had some doubts about Lao Yang's true strength, he would not jump out and slap Li Dazhuang in the face. After all, in the Western world, wealth is the most direct expression of a person's strength. Li Dazhuang is a tycoon who controls a huge amount of wealth. If it does not involve a conflict of life and death, Charles will not have a direct conflict with Li Dazhuang.

Charles is currently working with Soli forces to put pressure on the government level to stop the East Continent Company's material imports to the mainland of China, thereby forcing Li Dazhuang out. Only by knowing Li Dazhuang's whereabouts can we make further arrangements to deal with Li Dazhuang.

Old Yang, who was far away in Kyoto, returned to the compound happily. At the gate of the compound, he gave Aunt Sun and the other women a bag of melon seeds, which aroused praise from the other women. After returning to the room, he even pulled Zhao Jingyi aside for an in-depth discussion.

Just after noon, Li Yuping drove back to the compound and pulled Lao Yang out of bed. Haha, the reason was that Li Yuping's father, Lao Yang's cheap father-in-law, Li Polu, wanted to see him, and he couldn't find Lao Yang, so he called Li Yuping directly.

Lao Yang felt that the delivery of the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft stimulated the navy. Commander Li probably asked Lao Yang to pay for the destroyer that was originally agreed upon. It just so happened that Lao Yang also wanted to free up space. After all, the destroyer took up a huge amount of space for Lao Yang, and this thing was of no use to Lao Yang in the near future. It would be better to hand it over early so that he could re-plan the use of space.

Lao Yang and Li Yuping hesitated for nearly an hour before they drove to the Navy compound. After a simple registration at the gate, Li Yuping drove directly to the villa area halfway up the mountain.

When passing the middle of the compound, there were still many children in the pond, and some of them even chased Lao Yang's car for a distance before going back to play in the water. Li Yuping parked the car in the yard and saw her mother-in-law Huang Jinzhi standing at the door waiting for them.

The two got out of the car, opened the trunk and took out two bags of gifts before meeting Li's mother who had rushed over. Seeing the two bags full of high-end gifts, Li's mother did not act pretentiously and helped Li Yuping carry them to the living room. She kept muttering about how she missed the two and complained that they did not say they came to see her and wait for her mother-in-law.

When he came to the living room, he saw Li Polu, the teacher, sitting on the armchair fiddling with a document. When he saw Old Yang coming in, he hurriedly stood up, called Old Yang and went to the study upstairs, leaving Li Yuping and Li's mother to start packing the gifts they brought.

In the study, Old Yang sat quietly at the desk, waiting for Master Li to speak first, and then he picked up a paperweight on the table and started playing with it. Although Old Yang had no appreciation for the four treasures of the study, he felt that the paperweight in his hand seemed to be a good thing.

Commander Li put the documents in his hand on the desk, looked at Old Yang who was fiddling with the paperweight on the desk, and was speechless for a while. He began to scold, "Do you know why you were called here today? Why are you so disorganized? Do you know that you are in a very dangerous situation now? Young people can't keep their composure and swagger past. Everyone in the upper echelons knows who you are now! You have opened a company, recruited veterans, have a huge amount of supplies, and have advanced weapons and equipment. Tell me, which of these is not a capital crime? This is because the higher-ups are concerned, otherwise, do you think you can still sit here leisurely?"

Although Lao Yang was touched by Li's father's concern, he did not agree with Li's father's worry. He was living so freely now because of his exposed strength, which was completely worthy of the leader's attention (concern), and he was placed in a very high position. With Lao Yang's efforts in the later period, this position will continue to rise until it is on an equal footing!

"Father taught me that I have been a bit high-profile recently, which has exposed some of my strength. But the only thing I can be thankful for is that the focus of my power development is abroad, and there are very few constraints on me at home. The leaders are very clear about my current importance, and they can completely offset all the mistakes I have made! Until the motherland develops and no longer needs me."

Lao Yang analyzed it carefully.

Father Li thought about it and realized that what Lao Yang said was right. The big guys above agreed to invest in Lao Yang because they knew his importance and mysterious strength. Letting him lead some people to venture internationally and take a different path is also to open up a new heritage for the Chinese nation.

Father Li suddenly felt that he had lived to such an old age, but no young man had lived a clear and transparent life, which was beneficial to the country. Fortunately, this young man was his son-in-law, so he had more capital and voice than others.

Father Li no longer hesitated, pushed the documents on the table to Lao Yang and said:

"In China, the value of warships is more important than people, but for you, the value of people is more important than warships! So experienced naval officers here are more valuable. A complete set of warship military command system requires you to exchange two equivalent warships. Of course, it is also possible that our soldiers are not familiar with your warships, but there is absolutely no problem with experience and ability, and they can get started after simple training. This is a fact and it cannot be regarded as us cheating you, so there is no room for negotiation in this regard. According to the leaders above, this group of people will be half veterans and half recruits. These recruits will return to their country after serving for a certain period of time, and the veterans will continue to stay to train the recruits. This is also an important reason why the superiors can agree to your needs-training.

Lao Yang picked up the document and took a look at it. It was a summary table of the performance and personnel of the world's mainstream warships.

Each of the listed warships is equipped with no less than 500 officers and soldiers to fully exert the power of the warship. In other words, Lao Yang needs to pay two corresponding warships to get this team. If we compare the value of naval officers and soldiers to that of warships, it is true that a warship is more valuable than the people on the ship, but if the training cost, time cost and value created are calculated, it is far from what a warship can measure. It is possible that a captain can be worth several warships. Just like Ivan, the most famous ace pilot of the Soviet Union, he shot down more than 60 fighter planes in his life, so his value far exceeds the value of 60 fighter planes!

Old Yang closed the document, looked at Commander Li, and agreed in a deep voice.

"I am quite satisfied with this request, and we can implement it according to this plan. What I want to know is when can we take these people away?"

Commander Li replied, "The higher-ups mean that they will give you two fleets at most. As for taking them away, it depends on when you can prepare the warships. If you can provide two warships, you can take one fleet away. But before that, you must hand over the destroyer you promised me!"

Commander Li stared at Lao Yang with burning eyes, waiting for his reply.

Lao Yang touched the document and said, "If I can't find two identical or same-level warships, will two similar warships be okay?"

Commander Li thought for a moment and replied, "If there is not much difference between the two warships or if they are from the same series, then it's fine. Of course, if the two warships are of different levels, then we can only calculate based on the lower level one."

Old Yang knocked on the table and agreed: "Okay, let's do as you say. The destroyer I promised you will be handed over to you in Bohai Bay tonight. I will notify you to receive it after I get the specific coordinates. You'd better prepare people to receive the warship in Bohai tonight. It is a British Broadsword. After our modification, it is equipped with complete personnel equipment and ship-borne weapons, which can be regarded as a little benefit for you. I will also give you two whaling ships for free to help your navy do some side business!"

Li was very surprised to hear that Lao Yang wanted to give him two fishing boats. He couldn't understand what the deep meaning was. But he didn't dwell on it. The navy also had its own tertiary industry. The two fishing boats could be sent to the tertiary industry company, which was also a considerable asset. It was impossible to refuse or return it.

Afterwards, Commander Li explained to Lao Yang that these naval officers and soldiers were gathered from various fleets. Each of them had real skills, but there were some deficiencies in overall coordination, and it would definitely take some time for them to be able to work as well as they should.

After explaining everything, Li's father began to ask about Lao Yang and Li Yuping's marriage and their future development. Lao Yang certainly couldn't reveal his true intentions, so he played Tai Chi with Li's father.

Although the conversation was not pleasant, it eventually solved the urgent problems of both parties. The two really had no common topics, so they returned to the living room together. After greeting Huang Jinzhi and Li Yuping, Li's father called the guards to drive to the headquarters and began to arrange the work of receiving the warship in the evening. A destroyer was dispatched from the Qingdao Naval Base, and two shifts of people and retired naval officers from the tertiary industry company were ready to go to Bohai to receive the warship after getting the coordinates in the evening.

The destroyer that received the mission urgently summoned soldiers, and after all personnel were in place, they headed towards Bohai Sea in advance, striving to arrive in the Bohai Sea as soon as possible and be on standby.
