After tearing apart the paper in front of them, Huo Zhenlei and Jiang Yuanyuan immediately got into it. The two of them had the same goal, which was to turn themselves into Ceng Zhao's closest friends, family, and even servants.
When Liu Yu first saw Huo Zhenlei, he had already noticed this. However, it was a good thing since it was rare for someone to be willing to follow him. Although the other party's motive was to climb up the social ladder, it would be a waste if he didn't grab the opportunity. On the other hand, Little Boss Liang was a talent. He was slick and smooth, and his words were flawless.
Little Boss Liang's name was Liang Tianya. He graduated from Nancheng Business University and continued his father's business. After his hard work, he not only opened branches in Nancheng, but also in other cities. Now, he was even preparing to open a fast lane between cities. He was a man with ideas.
Huo Sigui stayed in Beijing for five days, and Ceng Zhao accompanied him for five days. Huo Zhenlei and Jiang Yuanyuan also accompanied him for five days. After seeing their motives, Liu Yu knew that they were more worried about Ceng Zhao than he was. Thus, he stopped hanging out with them every day. During the day, he went to work at the military headquarters and had dinner together at night. At this moment, Liang Tianya finally believed that this person was really a lowly soldier.
Li Yuanzhi was very proud of his achievements and held a press conference. During the whole process of the conference, a song was played from beginning to end: Yue Fei's "Rivers Run Red". At the press conference, Li Yuanzhi said that this time, the Russians brought a lot of garbage to the North Sea Republic and irresponsibly burned it here, causing serious environmental damage. After expert research, they needed to compensate for economic losses of one billion US dollars. He hoped that the other party would hand over the compensation to the North Sea Republic within ten days. Otherwise, ten days later, the North Sea Republic Army would head to Yekaterinburg to retrieve the one billion USD.
Going back on their words was an international consensus of the North Sea Republic. So far, they had not fulfilled any of their promises. They said that they would head to Yekaterinburg ten days later, but who knew that they would head to the Tuva Republic the next day?
The Tuva Republic was a major administrative unit in the Russian Federation. It was a part of the Siberian Federation, and its capital was Kizil. During the era of the Republic of China, the Tuva Republic was a major part of the Russian Sea region. The Republic of Tuva had a population of more than 300,000 people. Most of the people were descendants of the Mongols. The main way of life for the people of Tuva was to sell salt and be nomadic. Russians and Russian-speaking residents lived densely in the capital, Kizil. In the first massacre, the Russians in Kizil were wiped out, and the few remaining fled to Europe.
What Li Yuanzhi didn't expect was that when the North Sea Republic Army entered Kizil, they were actually warmly welcomed by the local residents. When the scattered residents stood by the roadside and waved various flags, the North Sea Republic Army thought that they had returned to their country.
When Li Yuanzhi reported this situation to Liu Yu, Liu Yu said that if you continue to head west, I estimate that in another month or two, the army will be everywhere and will surrender at the sight of the wind. Li Yuanzhi said, "I really don't know why this lousy Russia needs so much land. It costs shoes to walk and electricity to drive."
Liu Yu told Li Yuanzhi that if he didn't want so much land, he could consider giving the special conditions of Chita and Bria to China and establish the Mobei Province. Irkutsk was already enough to give the North Sea Republic Army a hard time. Now that Tuva was added, the next step would be Krasnoyarsk Border Region.
When Liu Dehou asked how much it would cost to buy the land, Li Yuanzhi said, "It's free, but there are some conditions." As for the conditions, they would talk about it when the conditions were right.
The North Sea Republic Army began to move west along the railway. They announced to the world that the purpose of this trip was to rob. Because the Republic of North Sea didn't produce, robbing was the only way for them to survive. In principle, they didn't kill, but that didn't exclude the possibility of killing. This time, the trade with China was only for military goods, not daily necessities. The Russians lamented, "Why do these bandits have to be stationed in Siberia?" Li Yuanzhi told them that this place was vast and sparsely populated, so it was more suitable for bandits. After crossing the Ural Mountains, it wasn't particularly suitable. If there weren't any special circumstances, they wouldn't enter the plains of Eastern Europe until the conditions were right.
Without the Ural Military District, Siberia was like a defenseless region. Li Yuanzhi's troops were like an uninhabited land, and it really proved Liu Yu's words. No matter where they went, they were warmly welcomed by the locals. This made Li Yuanzhi's face dull, and he didn't have any interest in it.
Just as Li Yuanzhi entered the Republic of Tuva, the American army also entered the Gulf. Because the Iranians had sealed off the Strait of Hormuz, no ships were allowed to enter or leave.
The American army was stationed in the Gulf of Oman. After paying a large sum of docking fees to the Oman government, they finally rented a piece of land in the Batinay District. This allowed the soldiers who had been rocking on the ship for a month to land on the shore.
The Iranians were very kind and didn't attack halfway. Instead, they laughed and said that the Americans could station anywhere they wanted, as long as they didn't provoke Iran. As long as a single bullet was fired at Iran, Iran would leave the new 7th Fleet and 500,000 American soldiers in the Gulf of Oman within 5 days.
Chen Weizheng was in Longshan City and said to Wu Tisa, "Old Wu, looking at the two new Ford-class aircraft carriers, I'm a little jealous."
Wu Disa said, "Your Majesty, if we add two more aircraft carriers, we can't not go to war. We have to use war to support war. If we don't earn back the money, Wei Shangyuan will sell the aircraft carriers as scrap metal."
Chen Weizheng laughed and said, "When the time comes, we'll sell one to China. This aircraft carrier is much more advanced than their Northeast."
"That will have to wait until we get it back." Wu Tisa sighed. "If we're not careful, we'll become a big country! I'm 62 years old this year, and I've enjoyed the most glorious years of my life. I'm old, and I can't do it anymore. I want to retire. Your majesty, I don't know if I have the qualifications to recommend a successor. If I do, I hope you can consider the captain of the Sunrise, Tian Zhongze. He's a naval genius and will lead the Shin Myung Province Navy into a new era of glory. "
"Although Tian Zhongze was born in Japan, he's already part of the Shin Myung Province. He's a member of the Ming Dynasty. I won't judge him with any prejudice. As long as he's a talent, I'll use him." Chen Weizheng said, "But personally, I don't want you to retire so early. I want to establish the Xinming Political Council and lead the entire military. You can come to the Council and help Tang Wei. Tang Wei isn't cunning enough, and Xiao Song is too young."
"I'll listen to your majesty's orders." Wu Tisa saluted and left Chen Weizheng's office.
The Americans stayed in the Gulf for three months without firing a single bullet at the Iranians. The huge military expenditure caused the Americans to complain. They felt that it was a waste of taxpayers' money.
The Iranians lived and worked in peace. They didn't have any pressure or risk. They had already forgotten that there were dozens of ships and hundreds of cannons pointed at them in the Gulf. In June, the Iranians even allowed a few tankers from China to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. They collected a lot of tolls to pay for the military expenditure. The United Arab Emirates, Oman, was so angry that they wanted to let a few ships pass. They wanted to see the Iranians' missiles, but they gave up in the end.
When China's military products were shipped from Central Asia to Iran, the Americans knew that this attack on Iran wasn't going to be a walk in the park. Li Yuanzhi had taken out sixty thousand soldiers from the Ural Military District in one night, and that was only with the use of aerial jeeps. If he added in the unstoppable Type 10 attack aircraft, he might really be able to kill all of their five hundred thousand soldiers.
The more the Americans thought about it, the more terrified they became.
When the two sides sat down and were ready to negotiate, Chen Weizheng went onto the JFK and studied it for a long time. The electromagnetic cannons were too complicated, so he didn't know how to use them. In the end, he found an ancient 'Sea Sparrow' missile and fired it from the JFK. Under the watchful eyes of the world, the missile swayed and headed straight for Iran's Jask, a seaside town with no military value. It blew up a telephone pole, a fruit box, and a few square meters of road, scaring a few stray dogs not far away.
Under the evil laughter of the Iranians, the Americans couldn't use the excuse that it was a mistake or supernatural. They decided to strike first, and all the cannons of the New Seventh Fleet fired at the target. At the same time, the Iranians didn't care about the missiles that the Americans fired at them. They only focused on firing the first batch of missiles at the American base and the New Seventh Fleet in Oman. The missiles of the two sides met in the air. Iran's Qinglong 22 and Qinglong 18 missiles knocked down most of the American missiles. The rest of the missiles continued to fly toward the New Seventh Fleet. Another 15 Longwei 22 missiles flew directly toward the American base in Oman.
After the missiles of the two sides landed, the first wave of attacks, the missile collision, was announced to have ended. What shocked the world was that not many of the missiles fired by the Americans managed to land on Iran's soil. Most of them died in the air above the Persian Gulf with the Iranian missiles and fell into the sea together. However, most of the Iranian missiles managed to hit their targets. Because of the large number of Iranian missiles, the ships of the New Seventh Fleet were hit and damaged. A few frigates were sunk on the spot. Two Big Ford aircraft carriers were full of holes and almost sank. The worst was the American base in Oman, which was hit directly by 15 Longwei 22 missiles. Because the military base was too densely populated, a total of 210,000 American soldiers were killed. Although it was less than half of the total, it wasn't a small number. More than three-quarters of the armored vehicles, tanks, and self-propelled cannons were damaged.
The Americans didn't have time to think about what happened during the day. That night, a group of Iranian daredevils sneaked onto the Ford and Kennedy aircraft carriers, which had almost lost power. They didn't use tranquilizers. Instead, they used the ancient method of killing the remaining American soldiers on the ships and threw them into the sea. Then, they used two tugboats to tow the two aircraft carriers away. The two battered ships were sold to the Shin Myung Province at the price of scrap metal in exchange for more Qinglong 22 mid-range missiles. This type of missile, which used Nanding steel thrusters, was fast and had a long flight range. It was an excellent weapon for defending the border. This attack showed its power.
