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

Our dear old comrade Yang was hugging his concubine Deng Lijuan, happily listening to the radio broadcast. While eating the fruit handed to him by Luo Yun, he said happily:

"It looks like we have it this time! As long as we show off our powerful weapons and equipment again, this island will belong to us! We can focus on developing the economy. As for international condemnation and social morality, it's all bullshit!"

Zhao Jingyi sat on the carpet and massaged Lao Yang's feet and asked, "Honey, when are we going back? The environment here is too bad! I have to take a shower every day, otherwise I'll be sticky all over, and there are no buildings around. It's comfortable to stay in the hotel all day, but I also need a proper rest!"

Zhao Jingyi looked at Lao Yang shyly.

Lao Yang rubbed Zhao Jingyi's fullness with his toes and said, "Don't worry, it will be done soon. I'm waiting for a guest. We will return to Hong Kong after we pick him up!"

Luo Yun, who was peeling fruit, asked nonchalantly, "Who are you waiting for, husband? How come I didn't know someone was coming?"

During this period of time, Luo Yun has been serving as Lao Yang's minutes secretary, handling related appointments and documents. She has not seen anyone make an appointment with Lao Yang, so she asked in confusion.

"He is an old friend, an English gentleman! I miss him very much, and he always gives me some surprises. I heard that this time he will bring an American friend to meet me here. I am really looking forward to it! According to the intelligence, he should be able to arrive in the nearby waters tomorrow."

Old Yang missed Suo Li deeply and hoped that he would come soon. Deng Lijuan, who was leaning on Old Yang's arms, sat up straight, straightened her messy clothes, and took a cup of tea from the table and brought it to Old Yang's mouth.

Old Yang took a sip and continued, "Mr. Deng is still not doing a good job. After such a long time, he has only purchased so many weapons and equipment! If we fight two more wars like this, we will probably run out of ammunition and food. I will talk to him later and ask him to hurry up. It's okay if the cost is a little higher. This is a period of rapid development for us, and we can't fall behind!"

Old Yang took a bite of the banana that Luo Yun handed over and said, "It may be even more exciting next time! The KGB and the CIA are not easy to mess with. After I overturn the table, they will definitely send a lot of people to contact or assassinate me! You should also always be careful. If you wear the crown, you must bear its weight! From now on, we can no longer live the lives of ordinary people!"

The three girls also nodded with an expression of nostalgia for the past!

At 3 pm, Zhao Tiehe, Deng Junlai, Kong Yi and other senior executives all came to the top floor of Changle Hotel to give Lao Yang a post-war summary. Luo Yun, Lao Yang's secretary, also attended the meeting and was responsible for taking notes.

Zhao Tiehe, the protagonist who commanded this war, reported on the whole process of this war and analyzed the gains and losses after the war. A well-prepared defensive battle exposed many problems of mercenary companies and put forward suggestions and plans for rectification; then Deng Junlai made an analysis report on the construction and losses of Belitung Island and the impact on its international status; Kong Yi made a detailed report on the recent trade incidents, analyzed the problems and potential threats in trade and provided solutions.

After all the relevant leaders reported all the situations, they finally summarized it into three points:

First, as a foreign-funded enterprise, Changle Company directly confronted its partner countries, which caused dissatisfaction among surrounding countries and led to their refusal to conduct regular trade with Changle Company.

Second, the weapons and equipment are relatively backward and inadequately prepared. Since the Changle Mercenaries were established too recently, the weapons and equipment purchased from international arms dealers are not yet complete, especially the navy and air force cannot effectively intercept and stop the government fleet and air strikes. If Belitung Island develops and encounters an attack again in the future, it will cause huge losses.

Third, there is the problem of personnel. There are too few mercenaries. The total number of people on the entire Belitung Island is only more than 8, including 2 mercenaries, 2 auxiliary soldiers, 1 company staff, and the remaining are the elderly, the weak, pregnant women, and free citizens. Once the war is over, the auxiliary soldiers will retire, which will result in insufficient mercenaries to support the defense of the entire island. The company needs to open up channels to attract more mercenaries and provide matching services.

After listening to his subordinates' reports, Lao Yang gave instructions: East Continent Trading Company should continue to explore further trade routes, even if the cost is slightly higher. Changle Company began to organize the company's employees on the island to engage in agricultural and animal husbandry production, and the land was distributed to employees who applied to settle on Belitung Island to sign contracts; Deng Junlai was ordered to start contacting major international arms dealers to purchase more cutting-edge weapons and equipment for the troops. The focus was on the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and China, and even second-hand weapons could be equipped with auxiliary troops; the administrative department of Changle Company was ordered to start construction on the island, focusing on establishing entertainment venues near the barracks, and purchasing a large number of people from Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States to fill them; the mercenary company was ordered to start issuing recruitment notices to the world, focusing on introducing welfare benefits and military merit systems, and stimulating young people from various countries to join the mercenary company.

The personnel departments of Changle Company and Changle Mercenaries will jointly formulate an effective military merit system and welfare benefits. Lao Yang has only one requirement, which is that all personnel need to work and earn promotion opportunities through work. Even prisoners of war and trafficked people can redeem themselves by paying labor income and military merit.

After the meeting, Lao Yang went to the restaurant where Deng Junlai and Zhao Tiehe stayed together, where they had a small family banquet accompanied by Lao Yang and his three wives.

After the banquet, Lao Yang told Deng Junlai and Zhao Tiehe to receive the weapons and equipment. Lao Yang would attack the Indonesian fleet in the evening, and Zhao Tiehe would need to organize mercenaries to receive the warships tomorrow. After that, the mercenaries would need to be trained accordingly, after all, the warships could not be used without the navy.

Although Zhao Tiehe and Deng Junlai didn't know how Lao Yang attacked the government fleet, they knew that since Lao Yang said so, it would definitely succeed. They were also looking forward to Lao Yang bringing back warships to train the navy, so that they wouldn't have to stay on the island passively and get beaten like they did now!

After seeing the two off, Lao Yang took his wife back to the room to rest and wait for the arrival of the British and American Allied Fleet in the evening.

Lao Yang would not take the initiative to provoke the other party. Since the other party sent a fleet to demonstrate, Lao Yang would not give the other party a good face. Taking away the fleet is the lightest punishment.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Lao Yang received the news sent back by the agent. The joint fleet where Soli was located had arrived 20 nautical miles south of Belitung Island. They were stationed there to mediate the conflict between the government forces and Changle Company. Although this was the purpose on the surface, no one knew the actual situation, only they themselves knew!

Old Yang immediately got up in high spirits, comforted his wife, and left Changle Hotel excitedly. He quickly flew to the east coast government troops stationed in the sea, sneaked into the sea to approach the government fleet, and quickly put the six warships of the government into the space.

All of the 5000-strong government navy fell into the sea and tried to survive. In the horrified eyes of the government officers, they watched as the warships disappeared in an instant, and all the soldiers on board fell into the water. Everyone had a terrifying thought in their mind: Did they offend the gods? This was a punishment from the gods! Otherwise, there was no way to explain the current situation.

After collecting the government fleet, Lao Yang didn't care about the life and death of the government army, and left directly from the bottom of the sea. After leaving the area, he immediately flew close to the sea surface and quickly approached the location of the joint fleet.

When Lao Yang approached the combined fleet, he found that there were two aircraft carriers and 12 frigates. The two aircraft carriers were the British Eagle and the American Warrior. Lao Yang estimated that his remaining space was not enough, so he quietly circled around the combined fleet. After finding nothing suspicious, he left the combined fleet station and returned to the southern coast of Belitung Island.

Lao Yang dug a cave on a rock wall on the south coast and lived in it. He began to scan the six warships in the space, two Type 30 and four Type 50 Soviet warships. After scanning all the data of the six warships, he began to improve the damaged and unreasonable parts, and finally repainted and numbered them. The six warships were completely new, replaced with the Changle company logo, and renamed.

After finishing the work, it was already 6:00 in the morning. Lao Yang immediately returned to the mercenary base and contacted Zhao Tiehe to take people to the sea to pick up the ships. Lao Yang put all six warships into the sea and waited for the Changle mercenaries to come and pick them up. When Zhao Tiehe led the Changle mercenaries to the designated sea area, they were surprised to find six brand new warships. They did not expect Lao Yang to get six warships in one night.

Zhao Tiehe was both happy and bitter. The mercenaries under his command were not enough to equip six warships. At most, they could fully staff two warships and no one would be available. After Zhao Tiehe boarded the warship where Lao Yang was, Lao Yang ordered Zhao Tiehe to hand over one of the Begonia-2 (Type 3) and one of the Rose-30 (Type 5) to the Chinese Navy in exchange for a complete team of warships.

Zhao Tiehe also knew about the relevant agreement signed between Lao Yang and China, so he nodded and agreed without hesitation. Who doesn't want more and more soldiers under his command? Next, the Changle mercenaries boarded six warships and organized to learn how to drive warships, as long as they could reach the level of navigation.

At 11 a.m., six warships entered the Changle Mercenaries' temporary naval base one after another. Zhao Tiehe also urgently telegraphed the Chinese military, providing the parameters of the two warships and requesting to exchange for the corresponding warship trainers. After receiving the news, the Chinese military immediately agreed to organize personnel to go for the handover.

A frigate of the South China Sea Fleet, carrying a large number of naval officers and soldiers, departed from the Guangdong base to Belitung Island to prepare for the handover of the warship. As for the public opinion caused by Lao Yang in the international community, the Chinese government remained silent and did not make any explanation. This is also evidence that foreign forces suspect that China is colluding with Changle Company. Some major newspapers and spokespersons accused China of intending to interfere in other countries' regimes, infringe on other countries' sovereignty, and openly invade other countries' territories, and demanded that the United Nations impose sanctions.

The Chinese government neither recognized the legal status of Changle Company nor identified it as an illegal armed force. This large-scale mobilization of naval personnel also attracted the attention of major powers in the world, especially the Soviet Union, which had just torn its face. It was very dissatisfied with China's dispatch of troops to Indonesia. It directly sent a telegram accusing China of undermining the integrity of the regime of international friendly countries, demanding that the unwise behavior be stopped immediately and that an apology and compensation be made to the Indonesian government.

The Chinese official spokesperson immediately made a public statement to clarify that the real purpose of the naval deployment was to receive the two warships produced by Changle Company purchased by China. There was no violation of the sovereignty of other countries, and no support for any illegal activities of illegal forces. The Soviet Union was asked to publicly apologize for the act of framing China!

The two world giants are skeptical of China's public statements and evidence, and request to send military observers to witness the warship handover ceremony. The Chinese military will naturally not oppose this proposal and publicly sent a request to Changle Company. Changle Company regards this as the core secret of Changle Company and refuses other forces to participate. If a third party appears at the scene without the joint permission of both parties, it will be regarded as peeping at the core secrets of Changle Company, and the third party has the right to impose military and economic sanctions on it, intending to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Changle Company.

Faced with Changle Company's refusal, China used this as an excuse to reject the two giants' military observation requests, but stated that it would provide relevant handover information and evidence.

The two giants were very angry about Changle Company's lack of face. Their foreign spokespersons repeatedly accused and slandered Changle Company as an illegal armed organization. They called on the world to boycott Changle Company and its products and services, and threatened to send warships and troops to forcibly disband Changle Company.

While countries around the world were arguing with Changle Company, Lao Yang continued to dig caves on the cliffs on the south coast of Belitung Island, preparing to dig a 2-meter-deep cave for cultivation. The depth of the cave will be connected to the ocean to simulate ultra-high deep-sea pressure. This work cannot be completed by others, so Lao Yang has to do it himself.

When night fell, Lao Yang had already dug nearly 5 kilometers deep. Lao Yang filled all the excavated rocks into the nearby sea area, creating nearly 90 square meters of land.

Just this morning when Lao Yang and Zhao Tiehe were handing over the warship, Soli and Charles from the joint fleet, after a secret talk, formed a mediation and negotiation team composed of diplomats from the two countries and issued a note to the Changle Company on Belitung Island.

Deng Junlai, the spokesperson for Changle Company, received a written notice from the Maritime Combined Fleet. After consulting with several of his trusted subordinates, he replied with a written notice, agreeing with the mediation team's proposal, but the mediation site must be set up on Belitung Island.

The Combined Fleet saw that the Changle Company was willing to negotiate, so it notified the Indonesian government. The Indonesian government was upset about the failure of losing a large number of soldiers and materials, and began to reject the mediation request of the British and American Combined Fleet. It was determined to fight to the death with the Changle Company on Belitung Island to restore the government's reputation and sovereignty!
