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

As Lao Yang's order was issued, all the Changle mercenaries in Belitung Island were urgently mobilized. The combat order was directly transmitted to Zhao Tiehe's front-line command center, and a large number of artillery and shells were sent to the front line for deployment. They only waited for the time to come and fired at the same time to flatten the enemy's position!

The Changle Mercenary Company in Belitung Island has 10 fighters, 1 early warning aircraft, 3 bombers, 20 transport aircraft, several anti-aircraft guns, 11 tanks, 2 armored vehicles, destroyers, and several patrol ships and speedboats. These equipments are second-hand equipment purchased from China, Germany, and France. Although they are lagging behind the big countries, they are evenly matched with the Indonesian military!

The outcome of a war depends on the strength of the soldiers, their will to win, and who strikes first to gain the upper hand. Lao Yang decided to take advantage of everything and kill the enemy first, no matter how good or bad it was!

After the meeting, Lao Yang ignored other people's work arrangements and took his three wives to the only hotel on the island to rest.

Since Belitung Island was developed too shortly, all supporting facilities are incomplete. Apart from military buildings and residential houses, there is only one large store and this average-sized Changle Hotel!

In addition to Changle Company and Changle mercenaries, there are only reporters from various countries stationed on Belitung Island to report on the situation, as well as military observers. All of these people were arranged in Changle Hotel.

The top floor of Changle Hotel is a suite specially prepared for Lao Yang to live in. Soldiers are on guard 24 hours a day, and there is a dedicated elevator. The top floor has an independent water and power supply system, an independent fresh air system, and an independent air conditioning system to avoid poisoning and power outages as much as possible.

The floor below the top floor is the hotel's office and security residence, which is directly separated from the guest rooms downstairs to prevent someone from breaking through the floor directly from the lower floor to launch a stabbing.

After Lao Yang checked into the hotel, all security personnel were replaced by the Changle Mercenary Elite Team. All security personnel were composed of Han people transferred from Hong Kong and China.

Old Yang doesn't trust any foreigners or any ethnic group other than the Han. People can be used, but they cannot be trusted. This is quite like Cao Cao's words: "I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me!"

Although Lao Yang is not afraid of assassination, his wife and future children will need protection from professional bodyguards.

In the evening, a small banquet was organized in the hotel restaurant, and all reporters and stationed personnel were invited to have dinner and be interviewed by reporters.

Lao Yang needs to rely on the media around the world to speak for him, whether good or bad, to stir up the heat. This is also an experience learned from later Internet celebrities.

All the reporters and military observers who received the invitation agreed to attend the dinner. Everyone was familiar with the mysterious Changle Gang leader, especially the bloody scene of the Global Martial Arts Conference in May, which was still replayed in people's minds. Although the martial arts conference was the most opposed by the whole world, the fact that he could organize such a large-scale competitive event also showed that Lao Yang had extraordinary ability and profound background! People who knew Lao Yang either admired or hated him.

At 6 pm, Lao Yang and his three wives took a rest and changed into the Hanfu they wore during the Wulin Conference to attend the dinner. After all the invited guests had entered the banquet and taken their seats, Lao Yang led his three wives into the venue under the guidance of the staff.

The Hanfu costumes worn by Old Yang and his three wives immediately caused a sensation in the audience. The reporters present took up their cameras and video recorders to take close-up photos and record the entire process of the four people. Especially when Old Yang was wearing a very distinctive dragon robe, the murderous aura he exuded made the military observers present breathless!

This creeping dragon is quietly escaping from the control of those in power and is on the verge of rising. Once it breaks free, it will soar into the sky, bringing a huge historical deviation to this originally set world. No one knows where the future development will go!

Old Yang and his three wives walked to the front table and sat down. After waiting for the reporters to take pictures, Old Yang stood up and gave a speech.

“Dear guests, dear journalists: Welcome to the Belitung Island branch of Changle Company!

I believe everyone has seen and heard that as the leader of Changle Gang, I am a pacifist who is hospitable and worships freedom! The Changle Company I founded has been committed to building a large-scale transnational trading company in the world. I work hard for the common development, common prosperity and common survival of people all over the world!

Just when Changle Company was working hard for this goal, and when all gentlemen in the world were advocating the spirit of contract, a certain government openly stepped in and tore up the signed contract. To expel such a company that is working hard for world peace is something that no one who is working hard for the Nobel World Peace Prize can accept!

I appeared here tonight to witness my promise and my ideal. I want to see with my own eyes how this country tramples on the sacred contract and takes action against Changle Company!

Today's dinner is a platform for me to get to know all of you friends. After the dinner begins, please don't be restrained and enjoy the delicious food and fine wine.

After the dinner, I will accept interviews from all my journalist friends to add a highlight to my trip!

Dear friends! The dinner is officially starting! "

As Lao Yang finished his speech, applause broke out in the hall.

The four doors of the restaurant opened at the same time, and a large number of staff members pushed the food carts and began to serve the dishes. A total of 12 tables were prepared for the dinner, and nearly 100 invited guests attended the banquet.

The banquet lasted until 7:30. The staff cleared the leftovers from the table and served tea and drinks. The Q&A session began!

When all the reporters and photographers were in place, Lao Yang knocked on the microphone in front of him and said, "Dear media friends, now we are officially entering the question-and-answer session. Each person can ask one question. Starting from the beautiful lady on the far left, I can answer all the questions as long as they do not involve core secrets! Beautiful lady, you can start now!"

"Hello, Mr. Li. I am an American journalist named Enif from the New York Survey. Mr. Li, do you think this conflict will escalate to the level of a war?"

Enif is a typical Western white woman. She is not pretty at all and her figure is a little deformed.

"Dear Ms. Enif, I can tell you this clearly. If a certain government does not apologize and compensate, Changle Company will defend the spirit of the contract to the end, even resorting to force! Next one."

Lao Yang is not afraid of others knowing his thoughts, and his attitude is absolutely arrogant!

"Hello, dear Boss Li, I am Fleck, a journalist from Australia. Do you want to occupy Belitung Island through war?"

A gentle-looking white man wearing gold-rimmed glasses asked a sharp question. The meeting room suddenly fell silent, waiting for Lao Yang's answer.

"If a certain country does not behave rationally, Changle Company will not give up the use of force to seize Belitung Island and take over its supervision until the other party shows sincerity and admits its mistakes! Next one."

Lao Yang answered without hesitation and with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Li! I am Itachi Tsukada, a reporter for the Tokyo Times in Japan. Are you imposing sanctions on Indonesia on behalf of China?"

A Japanese reporter asked without hesitation.

Old Yang glanced at Tsukada Itachi and replied, "Mr. Tsukada, do you think Japan is China's territory? As a part of Hong Kong, what qualifications does Changle Company have to represent China in handling international disputes? Next one."

"Does Li-san have a prejudice against Japan? Do you hate Japan?"

Itachi Tsukada did not sit down, but continued to ask.

"Please do not waste your opportunity to ask questions by bringing up irrelevant issues in your next question. Next one."

Lao Yang did not answer Itachi Tsukada's question, but directly emphasized the rules of asking questions.

Itachi Tsukada also sat back in his seat helplessly.

After Tsukada Itachi sat down, an Asian-looking reporter stood up and asked, "Hello, Mr. Li. I am Gaomusi Priya, a reporter from the Ganges Newspaper in India. If your company defeats the Indonesian government forces, will you establish a country on Belitung Island?"

"This reporter asked a very good question. I can give you a clear answer. As a formal enterprise, our Changle Company will not interfere with the political power of other countries! What we are fighting for now is the legitimate rights and interests of Changle Company, not undermining national sovereignty! So the establishment of a country is nonsense. Our company's ultimate goal is to be a trading company that opens in every country in the world. What our company advocates is freedom, equality, and trade. I hope that young people around the world who yearn for freedom and equality will join our Changle Company and fight for our common ideals! Thank you, next speaker."

Lao Yang is promoting a wave of advertisements for his own company.

Then the reporters asked questions enthusiastically, and Lao Yang answered them one by one. If he couldn't answer directly, he would change the topic and change the concept, and he was slightly successful in using Tai Chi.

After many reporters finished asking questions, some military observers stationed in Belitung Island from various countries sat in the back. They had many questions in their minds but did not ask them. They found that Lao Yang's answers were very smooth and evasive. He did not give the answers they imagined, so they did not waste their breath to argue with Lao Yang. They decided to observe the actions of Changle mercenaries carefully to find the basis for their judgment and prove their inferences through facts and evidence.

Seeing that all the military observers in the rear were not enthusiastic, Lao Yang did not force them and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Each reporter returned to his room with the audio and video recordings he was satisfied with, prepared the manuscripts and sent them to the newspaper, striving to publish the first-hand news.

The observers also left the restaurant in twos and threes and returned to their rooms. Old Yang and his three wives returned to the top floor through the security passage under the escort of several bodyguards.

As reporters from various countries sent the news out, the whole world soon knew the content of Lao Yang's dinner on Belitung Island.

Charles and Soli, who came with the fleet, also saw what Lao Yang said.

Charles slapped the materials on the table and said, "This Li Gang Leader is not a simple person. His words are full of traps. This cannot hide his vigorous ambition!"

Soli also said, "This person is an unstable factor. If we cannot control him, we must get rid of him as soon as possible. This time, our fleets must work together to completely solve this problem! I have transferred a batch of special equipment from China, specifically targeting Li Dazhuang. If we cannot cause fatal damage to him under our bombardment, we will send special forces to behead him. We must make him perish on Belitung Island!"

Charles nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. This time our aircraft carrier carries three nuclear warheads. If necessary, we will use it to launch a devastating attack on Belitung Island, and let the world be shrouded in the shadow of fear again!"

Charles' mouth curled up into an evil smile. Sony frowned and asked Charles: "Has the president authorized you to use nuclear weapons to attack human settlements? This is incredible! This matter has a huge impact on the world. If it is not handled properly, it will cause public outrage around the world! I think you still need to think carefully, after all, this is not a war period. And once a nuclear attack is carried out on Belitung Island, it will announce to the world that the United States will intervene in the regime of other countries!"

Charles said indifferently: "In this world, the strong always make the rules, and the weak abide by them. We have powerful weapons in our hands, so we should always use them to show their power and make people in the world feel awe, so as to better maintain world peace!"

As a very rational British gentleman, Solly would never do such a thing. Although he wanted to kill Lao Yang, he would not extend his hand to slaughter ordinary people, let alone issue an order to use nuclear weapons to attack humans. This is a devastating attack, and Solly does not want to bear such a stigma!

Charles knew Solly's concerns, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "My dear friend Solly, you are still too soft-hearted. You don't understand the nature of the world, your thinking is still immature, and you still need to experience the tempering of society!"

Sony also said seriously: "Yes, Charles. I am not yet able to disregard life! I neither agree nor oppose your use of nuclear strikes, but I still want to advise you to be cautious!"

Soli ended the meeting with a worried look on his face and left Charles' command room.

After Solly left, Charles showed a look of contempt and said, "A declining noble wants to order the emerging nobles! Still immersed in the glory of history. This world will belong to the United States in the future, and only the United States can have the final say!"

Charles looked down at the nautical chart and estimated the time it would take to reach the South Seas.

After the meeting, the Indonesian government received a resolute decision from Lao Yang. Knowing that the matter could not be resolved peacefully, it seemed that it could only resort to force. Therefore, the Indonesian government held an emergency military meeting to discuss and deploy the elimination of the Changle mercenaries on Belitung Island. Prepare to issue an ultimatum in the morning and launch a full-scale attack on Belitung Island to completely eliminate the mercenary company and drive the Changle Company away from Belitung Island!

Just when the Indonesian government documents were sent to various corps, it was midnight and Zhao Tiehe, who had been preparing for war, issued an order for an all-out attack.

At the front-line artillery position, 50 large-caliber artillery pieces began firing at the predetermined targets. The bombardment lasted for half an hour. After the bombardment, the well-prepared Changle mercenaries quickly rushed to the Indonesian government army's position under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles.

An hour later, the battle ended. The Changle mercenaries occupied the last territory of the Indonesian government on Belitung Island with zero casualties, and completely wiped out the remaining forces on Belitung Island. Changle Company occupied the entire Belitung Island! War is fast, cruel, and the most stimulating to the senses.

Less than 10 minutes after the war broke out, all major countries in the world received the news. Changle Company took the initiative to attack the Indonesian government garrison - provoking a war!
