I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Chapter 284 Satellite Links, Remote Control, Intercontinental Operations

The plans of the British government, the Gurkha organization, and William Hill were extremely meticulous.

The first step was to have the military confiscate Xingchen Military Industry's unmanned equipment, followed by confiscating their passports and other documents to prevent them from leaving England.

Guo Hu relayed Yang Chen's orders, but they could not return.

Guo Hu hurriedly called Yang Chen to report: "Chairman Yang, something bad has happened. Their passports and other documents have been confiscated, and they won't be able to come back for a while."

"They're really courting death! Notify our brothers in France to release bionic birds and fish in the English Channel. I'll borrow the BeiDou encrypted channel from the authorities to remotely control them. Also, immediately issue a statement in the name of Xingchen Military Industry: if any of our personnel in England are harmed, all members of the Gurkha organization and senior executives of William Hill will be our targets for retaliation," Yang Chen ordered.

Guo Hu quickly replied, "Okay, I'll take care of it right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen immediately contacted the authorities to apply for a Beidou satellite encrypted channel for Xingchen Military Industry to use.

Yang Chen's application was approved quickly, and Ma Guangwei, director of the Satellite Navigation System Management Office, personally called Yang Chen.

“Chairman Yang, the encrypted channel you applied for is ready. However, my superiors asked me to tell you that we can only target the Gurkha organization and William Hill personnel; we cannot target the British military personnel, to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings,” Ma Guangwei said.

Yang Chen replied, "Yes, I know what I'm doing."

Ma Guangwei smiled and said, "Okay! I'll have someone contact you right away."

At the same time, Xingchen Military Industry issued an announcement, which mainly conveyed seven points.

First, Yang Chen legally placed bets with William Hill, yet William Hill not only failed to pay out the winnings according to the odds but also confiscated Yang Chen's initial bet, which is extremely unreasonable.

Secondly, Sihai Investment was legally shorting William Hill shares, but the London Stock Exchange colluded with William Hill to deliberately suspend trading of William Hill shares, which violated the British Securities Exchange Act.

Third, William Hill paid 15% of its equity to invite the mercenary organization Gurkha Cavalry to help them deal with StarCraft, which is an extremely heinous illegal and criminal act.

Fourth, the British government intervened, banning offensive unmanned equipment from entering the country in the name of the military, and dispatched military personnel to confiscate Xingchen Military Industry's unmanned equipment, as well as the passports and other documents of Xingchen Military Industry's employees.

Fifth, StarCraft has sufficient evidence to prove that MI6, the Gurkha organization, and the William Hill Group colluded to murder StarCraft's employees.

Sixth, Xingchen Military Industry hereby announces that if any Xingchen Military Industry employee suffers any harm, Xingchen Military Industry will retaliate indiscriminately against the Gurkha organization and William Hill's top management.

Xingchen Military Industry demands that William Hill Group compensate Mr. Yang Chen for his winnings according to the odds, and that the stock be immediately resumed trading.

If these two demands are not met, StarCraft will launch indiscriminate retaliation against all William Hill employees at the manager level and above, as well as shareholders.

Seventh, all the impact and consequences caused by this matter will be jointly borne by the William Hill Group, the Gurkha Organization, and MI6.

The announcement was translated into dozens of languages ​​and posted on the internet.

At the same time, StarCraft also released some of the conversations between Jason Johnson, the second-in-command of MI6, Andrew Adams, the leader of the Gurkha organization, and Edward, the president of William Hill.

Although it was only a part of the dialogue, the content was clear enough to convey their conspiracy to join forces against StarCraft.

The announcement and recording from Xingchen Military Industry quickly caused a huge uproar on the international internet, with netizens from all over the world flocking to see what was going on.

A Japanese netizen commented: "I told you long ago that no one can deal with Yang Chen. He's terrifyingly powerful now. Every mosquito and fly around us could be his spy. Every word we say and every action we take is under his control. Now the pressure is on MI6; let's see how they handle it."

A South Korean netizen commented: "Although I dislike Yang Chen, Yingzi handled this matter poorly. It's unreasonable, morally indefensible, and legally untenable. Even if they face retaliation, no one will sympathize with them. If they really want to deal with Yang Chen, let the Gurkha organization do it directly. MI6, the military, and even William Hill should all stay out of it. This situation is so embarrassing—a nation's intelligence agencies and military targeting a private company. How shameful!"

A netizen named "White-headed Eagle" commented: "We should handle this kind of thing. We can make it look good. Whether the plan succeeds or fails, it will only remain a civil dispute. Now, Xingchen Military Industry has put Yingzi's military and intelligence agencies in the spotlight. Let's see what they do. Besides, it doesn't sound good for a country's military and intelligence agencies to collude with mercenary organizations."

An English netizen commented: "Since Xingchen Military Industry has already broken off relations, let's stop hiding it and openly support the Gurkha organization to take down Xingchen Military Industry. Let's see what Yang Chen can do then. Can he really come to our territory and fight our regular army? Does he have the guts?"

The people of China always have a legitimate reason for doing great things. The announcement and recording were merely to legitimize Xingchen Military Industry's subsequent actions, not to complain to the world, nor to make Yingzi's family stop.

To put it simply, even if Yingzi's family were willing to stop now, Yang Chen would still need to find an excuse to take action against the Gurkha organization and William Hill. The atmosphere has reached this point, and it would be impolite not to make a move.

Seeing this situation, the Bald Eagles immediately got excited and contacted the British government, urging them to support the Gurkha organization in fighting Yang Chen.

If Xingchen Military Industry can scare them away with just a public announcement, they will lose their status and voice in Europe and even worldwide, which would have serious consequences.

The Bald Eagles discussed it and agreed that this made sense; the atmosphere had been set right, and stopping now would be too damaging to the nation's image.

However, Yingzi has learned her lesson. She's determined to fight, but she needs to maintain appearances and leave herself room to maneuver.

MI3 immediately issued a statement, which contained three main points.

First, they denied that the recording released by StarCraft Military Industry was of Jason Johnson, the second-in-command of MI6.

Second, it denies that the military and MI6 supported the Gurkha organization and William Hill Group in their attacks on StarCraft, stating that the ban on offensive unmanned equipment entering the country is a national policy that applies to all individuals and businesses, and is not targeted at StarCraft Group or its employees.

Third, the British military and MI6 will not intervene in civilian conflicts, but all parties must act within the bounds of the law. If they violate the law, they will be severely punished.

After putting on a good show, they authorized the Gurkha organization to take action.

Mercenary organizations don't care about personal life or death; they'll do anything as long as they're paid.

The Gurkha organization deployed a 500-strong action team, ready for battle.

Under the pretext of checking passports, the immigration department of Yingzi's family gathered 200 employees of Xingchen Military Industry in a building near the sea and then left them alone.

About half an hour later, a fully armed 500-man action team from Gurkha surrounded them.

The employees of Xingchen Military Industry were unarmed and didn't even have cell phones. They had absolutely no ability to resist. Once surrounded by the mercenaries of the Gurkha organization, they would have no chance of survival.

The employees of Xingchen Military Industry are all retired special forces soldiers who have practiced martial arts since childhood and are fearless.

Faced with this situation, they didn't think about surrendering or waiting to die; they were even thinking about how to fight back.

"What do we do now? We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

"There's nothing here; we'll have to fight the enemy with our bare hands."

"If I'm going to fight bare-handed, I'll fight bare-handed and try to take down a few enemies before I die."

"Everyone, stop standing there! Quickly cover up the doors and windows so that the people outside can't see what's going on inside. Sand is easy to dig, so let's dig a bunker by hand. As long as we can withstand the enemy's firepower, they will definitely come in to clean up the battlefield, and that will be our chance to counterattack."

Everyone immediately sprang into action. A small group used tables and other objects to block the doors and windows, while the rest dug with their hands in the sand to quickly create a shelter.

At this moment, in the Star Army's operational command center.

Yang Chen was staring at the big screen, which showed images from the perspectives of bionic fish and bionic birds, as well as aerial views transmitted from the Beidou satellite.

At this moment, the bionic bird is carrying mosquitoes, flies, and other insects across the English Channel, heading towards the seaside building where the Starry Sky Military Industry employees are trapped.

The biomimetic fish in the sea were also gathering in that direction from all directions. The Gurkha members stopped about 20 meters from the building and launched an attack on it under the remote command of their leader, Andrew Adams.

Instead of rushing in, they opened fire on the building until it was riddled with bullets before stopping.

Just as they were about to enter the building to clean up the battlefield, a flock of birds flew down from the sky and swooped down to crash into them.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The continuous explosions were accompanied by cries of pain, and the Gurkha members immediately fell into chaos, dodging the birds while shooting at them with their guns.

But then some mosquitoes and flies suddenly appeared out of nowhere, mindlessly ramming into them, and would explode if they hit them.

Although the explosive power of these mosquitoes and flies was small, their sheer number caused many people to be blown to pieces.

At this moment, all the Xingchen military workers crammed into the deep pit inside the building perked up, because they knew that someone had come to rescue them.

"Hang in there, everyone. Chairman Yang has sent people to rescue us."

"No! It's a bionic bird. It must be a bionic bird released by our brothers in France to help us fight the enemy."

"How did they manage to control it from such a distance?"

"You're so stupid, it must be through the BeiDou satellite system."

"Haha...right, right, how could I forget that? Our equipment can receive satellite signals."

“I told you that Chairman Yang would never abandon us; he must have secured the BeiDou frequency band. Hang in there, everyone, we’ll be rescued soon.”

……

Just as they were discussing it, the explosions outside stopped.

They carefully crawled out of the pit, crouched down to the door and window, and looked outside. Seeing the Gurkha members lying all over the ground, they were finally relieved.

At that moment, a bionic bird flew to the front of the building, and then Yang Chen's voice came out from the bird's beak.

"Brothers, I know you're all still alive. Everyone stay inside and don't come out. Everything outside is none of your business. I will make them return your passports and equipment to you and send you on the ship to leave."

Everyone was overjoyed and quickly hid in the pit, patiently waiting for the officials from Yingzi's family to come and handle the situation.

At this time, major ports in England were attacked by unidentified fish, and many cargo ships and yachts exploded.

Meanwhile, chaos erupted in Gurkha's stronghold, with screams, shouts, and cries for help echoing throughout.

They were being attacked by bionic birds, mosquitoes, and flies. Andrew Adams, the leader of the Gurkha organization, was surrounded by a swarm of mosquitoes and was so frightened that he sat in his chair, too scared to move.

Meanwhile, at the William Hill Group headquarters, the executives and shareholders who were watching the Gurkha organization hunt down StarCraft employees were also in a terrible state, with mosquitoes and flies swarming throughout the conference room.

President Edward was also surrounded by mosquitoes and dared not move, sitting in his chair with a look of horror as he watched his companions fall one by one.

At that moment, an explosion occurred at the research and development base of English Aerospace Systems, the world's second-largest defense company and third-largest defense aerospace company.

Their engineers and technicians were disassembling StarCraft's unmanned equipment for research. They had disassembled dozens of sets of equipment without any problems, but these sets of equipment were suddenly awakened and detonated autonomously one after another.

The engineers and technicians were scattered and killed, and the entire research and development base was reduced to ruins.

At the same time, the armory storing these unmanned devices also exploded. The unmanned devices they had confiscated were suddenly awakened and immediately activated their self-destruct mechanisms.

All the unmanned equipment produced by Sihai Intelligent and Xingchen Military Industry comes with a self-destruct device. As long as the equipment is given a chance to be awakened, the self-destruct device can be activated, leaving absolutely no possibility for others to disassemble and imitate it.

The Gurkha leader, Andrew Adams, was utterly terrified by the scene before him. He cried out to the mosquitoes and flies buzzing around him, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have had any designs on StarCraft. I was really wrong. Please give me a way out. I'll call everyone back immediately and promise not to harm anyone at StarCraft."

Just then, a bionic bird responsible for the conversation flew in.

It is a "communication bird" controlled by satellite signals.

Yang Hen's voice came through the communicator bird.

"Mr. Andrew Adams, do you still dare to have designs on my employees?"

Andrew Adams immediately said, "No, no, I wouldn't dare. Are you Mr. Yang Chen?"

The communicator bird replied, "Yes, this is Yang Chen."

Andrew Adams quickly said, "Mr. Yang Chen, I was wrong. I apologize to you and your employees. We have no grudges between us. I will no longer concern myself with the issues between William Hill Group and you. Please, have mercy and spare my life."

The communicator bird replied, "Are you dreaming? Your people have surrounded and opened fire on my employees. The casualties are currently unknown. You want me to spare your life? How am I supposed to explain this to my brothers and their families? But it's not impossible for you to live. Tell the truth now, let the whole world know the truth, and I'll spare your life."

Desperate to save his own life, Andrew Adams immediately revealed the details of the tripartite cooperation between MI6, the Gurkha Organization, and the William Hill Group.

Meanwhile, William Hill CEO Edward was also desperately pleading with the mosquitoes and flies to let him go.

Just then, another communication bird flew to him.

Yang Chen's voice came through the comms bird.

"Mr. Edward, are you still trying to play the rogue?"

Edward quickly said, "You...you are Mr. Yang Chen? I was wrong, I was really wrong. I will pay you back according to the odds, and the stock will resume trading immediately. I apologize to you and the employees of Xingchen Military Industry, and I will compensate you for all your losses. Please, have mercy and spare my life, please."

The communicator bird said, "It's not impossible for me to spare your life, but you have to tell the whole truth about this matter from beginning to end. As long as you tell the truth honestly, I will spare your life."

No one is unafraid of death, and Edward, disregarding all else, immediately recounted the details of the incident.

At this moment, netizens from various countries watching the Starry Sky Military Industry live stream were also actively sending bullet comments to discuss the topic.

A netizen from Bald Eagle commented: "Oh my god, Yang Chen's methods are terrifying. How does he control all these unmanned vehicles? The Gurkha organization is too weak; they were defeated so quickly."

Japanese netizens commented: "They must have remotely controlled these devices via satellite signals to fly across the English Channel and attack targets. Furthermore, their equipment is equipped with self-destruct mechanisms; it can be activated after being woken up by satellite signals. The UK has suffered truly devastating losses this time; the research and development base of the world's second-largest defense company, Aerospace Systems, has been reduced to ruins. It's absolutely horrific."

An English netizen commented: "They're just attacking us like this? Is there anyone who can do anything about it? Are we just going to let them attack others so casually?"
A German netizen commented: "To that English netizen, the truth of this matter has come to light. You've lost miserably this time. Even if you take it to the United Nations, it won't do any good. MI6 is the mastermind, and if anyone is held accountable, it will be them. Congratulations on becoming the second European country, after Italy, to be taught a lesson by Mr. Yang Chen. This proves that traitors never have a good ending. Don't follow their example!"

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "This is absolutely brilliant! Boss Yang used a real-world combat exercise to teach the world how to remotely control unmanned equipment for cross-regional and even intercontinental operations. He has pointed out the direction for military development in various countries. In the future, there is no need to overdevelop bombers and intercontinental missiles; instead, the focus should be on building an intercontinental command and control system for unmanned equipment."

A South Korean netizen commented: "I think we should just give the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese characters, and Hanfu back to them. Let's not argue with them. If we anger Yang Chen, the consequences will be unimaginable."
