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

"Fuck! Who was it that suggested going to the UN to sue Yang Chen for supporting the US military? Not only did they fail to stop it, they also helped Yang Chen promote Super Seed. What a terrible move!"

"Who would have thought he could develop a seed that doubles the yield? This is completely unexpected."

"Er Mao's family owns 7000 million mu of land, and 7 million mu in Africa. With his super seeds, he will soon be able to control global food prices. Food is the most important thing for people, and it is the foundation of all development. If he controls food prices, we will be in trouble. We must find a way to stop this from happening, and take direct action if necessary."

"Still going to make a move? Who should we send? The Blackwater Group? They've already failed once; another attempt will only send them to their deaths. Is it really necessary?"

"We have to do it, even if it means dying! We can't let Yang Chen control global food prices so easily!"

That's how the Bald Eagles are; they know they're incapable, yet they stubbornly persist in causing destruction. In short, they don't see peaceful coexistence as a possibility.

After some discussion, they finally decided to send a special forces team to join the Blackwater Group, so that the Blackwater Group could have another showdown with StarCraft in Africa.

This time they plan to launch a surprise attack. First, they will use electromagnetic pulse bombs to destroy the unmanned equipment of Starry Sky Military Industry, and then send real people to launch an attack. They are sure they can defeat Starry Sky Military Industry.

Once Starry Sky Military Industry is defeated, the countries in Africa will certainly not dare to sell or lease their land to Yang Chen, thus achieving their goal.

To increase their chances of winning, the Bald Eagle contacted France seeking cooperation.

Africa has historically been within France's sphere of influence, where they held many colonies.

Many of the lands that Yang Chen bought or leased were originally managed by the French.

Now, African countries are directly selling or leasing to Yang Chen, forcing France to leave.

But they have been exploiting Africa for over two hundred years, so how could they easily give up their interests there?
However, Yang Chen was just a businessman after all, and the French government could not directly intervene, as that would be against the rules. So they handed the job over to the French Foreign Legion, a mercenary organization based in France.

This mercenary organization is no ordinary organization; they only do legitimate business and earn legal money, which is why France even gave them a contingent to appear in its military parade.

but.

The so-called justice and legitimacy are defined from the perspective of France. If evaluated from the perspective of the African people, wouldn't they be villains who help the French government exploit the African people?

The Blackwater Group and the Foreign Legion have joined forces, and both will provide the most advanced missiles and other weapons, making it imperative to win this time.

The Blackwater Group, the Foreign Legion, the Bald Eagle, and the French military each sent senior personnel to a meeting to discuss tactical plans for dealing with StarCraft.

Blackwater CEO Bradley stated, "Our last encounter with them was extremely devastating. Their AI equipment is simply too powerful; we couldn't possibly contend with it with our bare hands. Therefore, to win this time, we must possess sufficient EMP weapons and launch a surprise attack, destroying all their AI equipment before they are prepared. If we can destroy their AI equipment, we can slaughter them at will. If we cannot destroy their AI equipment, we absolutely must not intervene, or we will suffer the same tragic fate as last time."

Bald Eagle military representative Hania said, "You can rest assured on that point. We guarantee that we will have a full supply of electromagnetic pulse weapons and will definitely disable all their equipment."

"That's good enough! As long as we can destroy all their smart equipment, we can easily crush them in a real-life fight," said Matthew Arnold, the commander of the French Foreign Legion, with a smile.

French military representative Devon West quickly said, "We will also provide the Foreign Legion with as much electromagnetic pulse weapon support as possible. In addition, we will also support you with hypersonic bombs and cluster bombs. Anyway, you are a mercenary group, so you don't need to worry too much about the consequences. If international public opinion is unfavorable to us, you can just hand over a few people to take the blame and go through the motions to deal with international public opinion. In short, this time we must make Yang Chen pay a heavy price and let him know that the interests of the old capitalist countries cannot be taken away by him alone."

After exchanging opinions, the four parties immediately formulated a specific battle plan.

On the other side, Sihai Group.

Yang Chen was playing games in his office when Guo Hu rushed in.

"Chairman Yang, breaking news: the US and France are planning to support the Blackwater Group and the French Foreign Legion in attacking our brothers in Africa. Furthermore, the US military, the French military, the Blackwater Group president, and the French Foreign Legion commander-in-chief have secretly met. Because the site was bombarded with electromagnetic pulse weapons and all signals were blocked, we couldn't monitor their conversation. However, based on conventional logic, they must be discussing how to attack us. Chairman Yang, what should we do next?" Guo Hu reported.

Yang Chen put down the mouse and said with a smile, "That's normal. Nobody wants to give up their interests easily. First, monitor the Blackwater Group and the French Foreign Legion's leadership. They can't block our equipment all the time. Also, send over more enhanced plasma shield devices, focusing on protecting a portion of the equipment. In my opinion, they're likely to launch a surprise attack this time, so we must ensure we can protect some equipment for a counterattack. As for the rest, let's take it one step at a time. It's too early to make a definitive decision on how to proceed."

Guo Hu quickly nodded and said, "Understood! I'll go back and do as you say right away!"

Yang Chen nodded, and Guo Hu immediately rushed back to do his work.

Shortly after, Bradley, the president of Blackwater Group, called Yang Chen.

“Mr. Yang, we now need you to repay that 100 billion Eagle Dollar loan. If you don’t repay it, we will sue you in the International Court of Justice,” Bradley said directly.

They're about to take action; they need to get the money back first, otherwise it'll be difficult to ask for it back after they've started.

Yang Chen chuckled and teased, "So you're planning revenge, trying to get your money back first, is that it?"

Bradley was somewhat surprised. Yang Chen already knew?
What's the point of launching a sneak attack then?

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I just want our money back. What right do you have to borrow money and not pay it back?” Bradley replied.

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "Fuck! Do you think you're funny? Your every move is under my control. I know exactly what you're going to do next. Let me remind you, 1000 billion Eagle Dollars won't stop me this time. It'll take at least 100 billion Eagle Dollars, or the Blackwater Group will disappear from the world. I'm not bluffing, I'm just warning you. Understand?"

Although Bradley knew perfectly well that Yang Chen knew about their plans, he still stubbornly insisted on denying it.

“I really don’t understand what you’re saying. Just tell me whether you’re going to pay me back or not!” Bradley said.

Yang Chen laughed and replied, "What money? Who owes you money? Do you have an IOU or any other proof?"

Bradley immediately panicked and said, "Are you trying to renege on your promise? As one of the conditions for your ceasefire, we were supposed to lend you 100 billion Eagle Dollars. You don't acknowledge that? We have the transfer records, don't try to go back on your word!"

“Look, you said it was a ceasefire condition. You paid the money, I stopped the fire, and we’re even! There’s no loan involved!” Yang Chen replied.

Bradley: "..."

Bradley was almost in tears. That was 100 billion Anglo-American dollars! He couldn't let Yang Chen renege on it like that.

“If you keep cheating like this, we’ll take you to the International Court of Justice, we’ll take you to the United Nations! I refuse to believe there’s no law that can punish you!” Bradley roared.

"Go ahead and sue me, I'll definitely respond actively. Anything else? If not, then get ready to beat me up, and also prepare 1000 billion Anglo Coins, I'm not kidding. Haha..." Yang Chen said with a laugh, then hung up the phone.

Bradley slammed down the phone in anger, followed by a torrent of profanity.

After venting his anger, he immediately called Carmen, the head of the financial department of White Eagle, and told Carmen that Yang Chen had defaulted on their 100 billion Eagle Coin debt, asking Carmen to stand up for them.

Carmen was so angry that she cursed loudly, but then comforted him, "Don't worry, we absolutely won't let him renege on this 100 billion eagle dollars. I'll contact their relevant authorities right away, and if that doesn't solve the problem, we'll file a lawsuit in the International Court of Justice. I refuse to believe he can escape the law!" Bradley sighed and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Bradley hung up the phone and immediately called Hania, the military representative.

“I just called Yang Chen to ask for money. He already knows we’re going to take action against his influence in Africa. He also told me to prepare myself. If we lose again, we’ll need 1000 billion Anglo-American dollars to get him to stop, or he’ll wipe Blackwater off the face of the earth. I’m a little scared. He’s a madman, and he really means what he says. The key is that he controls our every move. We have no secrets. How are we supposed to fight? We even wanted to ambush him. We’re lucky if he doesn’t.” Bradley said dejectedly.

Hania was also shocked and quickly said, "How could this be? Didn't we bombard our meeting place with an electromagnetic pulse weapon beforehand? How could we still be being monitored by them? That damn Yang Chen, has he come up with some kind of black technology again?"

Bradley said, "I don't know how he knew, but I'm sure he really knew we were going to take action against his African forces. I think we should just give up. If we lose again, we're finished. I don't have 1000 billion Eagle dollars to give him."

Haniah immediately reassured him, "Don't give up without a fight! Perhaps the situation is this: the location where we're meeting isn't being monitored, but we are in other places. So, he knows we're going to take action against his forces in Africa, but he doesn't know our plan. Never mind, maybe we're being monitored right now. Let's contact each other via encrypted channel later. Bye."

Bradley felt uneasy, but the die was cast and he had no choice but to proceed; there was no turning back.

On the other hand, Yang Chen received a new reward from the system for refusing to repay the money to the Blackwater Group—ornithopter technology.

What is an ornithopter?
The simplest explanation is to imitate the wings of insects such as dragonflies to create aircraft that can hover, fly forward, fly backward, and suddenly accelerate or decelerate.

Previously, the bionic bird that Yang Chen created could only hover in the air, but could not perform actions such as hovering. If the flapping-wing aircraft technology is applied, the bionic bird can achieve flexible changes such as hovering in the air, suddenly accelerating or decelerating, or suddenly flying inverted.

If we make further progress, the resulting flapping-wing helicopter will be even more amazing.

However, the biggest technical challenge for ornithopters is materials. Modern metals are fatigue-prone, and even if an ornithopter were built, the wings would not last more than a few minutes under high-speed conditions before breaking apart.

Although it is not possible to build Puyi's helicopter for the time being, it is still possible to make a small flapping-wing aircraft using materials such as carbon fiber for the wings.

Yang Chen happily organized the data and then went to the research base.

As soon as Yang Chen arrived at the parking lot, he received a call from Guo Hu.

"Haha... Chairman Yang, I have some good news to report to you. The plasma team has made another breakthrough. They have developed an air-based 'laser-driven cavitation bubble' device. It functions similarly to the device in the ocean. Fiber optics are laid on the surface of an object, and a laser is used to propel it while simultaneously ionizing the air to generate a plasma layer. This creates a near-vacuum 'air bubble' that envelops the object, allowing it to fly with almost zero resistance, greatly increasing its flight speed," Guo Hu said excitedly.

Yang Chen was also excited after hearing this, and immediately laughed and said, "This is indeed great news! Good news one after another, it's like heaven is helping me! I'm on my way to the research base, have them prepare to do a test for me on the spot."

Guo Hu quickly replied, "Okay, I'll inform them to make the arrangements right away!"

If this technology matures, Yang Chen's strength will reach a new level, and all aircraft will be equipped with a plasma shield, so they will no longer be afraid of electromagnetic pulse weapons.

Yang Chen arrived at the research base with great joy, and the plasma team immediately conducted experiments in front of him.

They brought over a drone, and while installing the device, they explained the principle of the device to Yang Chen.

Actually, it doesn't matter if they don't explain, since Yang Chen taught them plasma technology. What they understand, Yang Chen will naturally understand at a glance.

However, Yang Chen still listened quietly and watched them do the experiments.

The modified drone flew so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye; it really disappeared in the blink of an eye.

However, due to limitations such as the materials used in drones, they cannot actually fly at supersonic speeds; they will naturally disintegrate once they reach a certain speed.

"Can the speed be reduced? I urgently need a batch of this equipment. I don't have time to slowly research new materials to replace the current ones. So, let's sacrifice some speed to ensure that the drones can last until they run out of ammunition," Yang Chen said.

The engineer immediately said, "Sure! We can just use a lower power version. With less laser propulsion, its speed will naturally slow down."

Yang Chen nodded and said, "This technology is very timely. You guys work overtime to test the optimal configuration and manufacture at least 1 sets of drones and bionic birds for military combat as soon as possible."

The engineer quickly replied, "Understood! We'll conduct tests immediately and manufacture enough equipment for Chairman Yang as soon as possible."

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and said, "I'll definitely give everyone a bigger year-end bonus next month. Thank you all for your hard work. I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."

The engineers happily saw Yang Chen off and immediately went back to begin testing.

Yang Chen arrived at the intelligent robot research area and handed over the newly compiled ornithopter technology to the research team.

Yang Chen told the researchers, "Your immediate priority is to apply this technology to bionic birds and small drones, and quickly manufacture a batch of equipment that can be used in military operations. Contact the plasma team and apply their new technology along with this one to the new bionic bird and drone. You need to be quick; I may not have much time to wait for you. So, everyone, please work hard and put in extra hours to get it done as soon as possible. Your year-end bonuses next month will definitely be generous."

The chief engineer immediately said, "Please rest assured, Chairman Yang, we will live and work in the laboratory and will complete the task you assigned as soon as possible."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, then turned and left.

What Yang Chen needs to do now is to delay the Blackwater Group and the French Foreign Legion's attack, making sure that all his new equipment arrives before they can make a move.

At this moment, Yang Chen received a call from Li Daoming, the head of the financial regulatory authority.

"Haha... Chairman Yang, did I disturb your work?" Li Daoming asked with a smile.

Yang Chen replied, "No, Director Li, just get straight to the point."

Li Daoming quickly said, "Okay, I'll get straight to the point. Carmen, the head of the financial department at White Eagle, called me to protest that you defaulted on a 100 billion loan from Blackwater Group. Is that true?"

Yang Chen immediately replied, "There was no loan! The 100 billion taels of silver they gave me was a condition for my ceasefire with the Blackwater Group, not a loan. If that's considered a loan, then the 9.8 million taels of silver indemnity paid by the Qing Dynasty under the Boxer Protocol was also a loan, and we should let the foreign powers pay it back to us first!"

Li Daoming said, "Oh, I see. So they think the matter is over and want their money back. He said he's going to sue in the International Court of Justice. Can you defend yourself?"

Yang Chen immediately said, "Absolutely! I have nothing to hide. If ceding territory and paying indemnities are considered loans, I will make the foreign powers repay the money that the Qing government 'lent' to them through various unequal treaties, with interest."

Li Daoming was thrilled and laughed loudly, "Haha... Good, good, I know how to deal with him now. I won't bother Chairman Yang any longer, bye!"

Blackwater Group wouldn't dare to act rashly without getting the 100 billion Eagle Dollars, which is a good excuse for Yang Chen to stall them.

Go ahead and file a lawsuit; let's fight this case slowly. (End of Chapter)
