Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Late December 1990, Great Britain.

London is a great city with a fantastic football culture.

But recently, the city seems to be going through some kind of big storm.

Several well-known players have been signed by wealthy and powerful companies.

They all went to play football in China.

I really don't understand, isn't the mainland a godforsaken place?

When did you become so rich?

It's common knowledge that China is a football wasteland, and the audience there doesn't understand football and can't afford tickets. So why do so many football stars go there?

Because they were offered more money, they were naturally willing to leave.

The Premier League is very strong and very attractive.

However, the transfer fee for players is at most several million or tens of millions of pounds.

But this time, the Chinese mainland side can come up with a transfer fee of twenty to thirty million pounds.

Those football stars were all yelling excitedly.

In the original timeline, wasn't Cristiano Ronaldo, the legendary football star, also overwhelmed by a large check from a Middle Eastern tycoon?

If the money is right, football stars will follow.

Water flows downhill, and people strive for higher positions.

"This time, they've signed three more football stars, making things look much more exciting on the domestic front."

Zhao Mancang said with a smile.

The officials sitting in front of him remained silent.

When will we ever recoup the costs of spending so much money to sign football stars?

Moreover, this money is given to foreigners, and all the money earned from domestic fans goes to these foreign football stars. Why should they get this money?
In any case, several of the responsible persons had a lot of grievances; they were unwilling for Zhao Mancang to sign these foreign football stars.

But Zhao Mancang was rich, and he held a higher position, so even if the person in charge had complaints, they could only keep them to themselves.

Why couldn't Zhao Mancang listen to reason?

No one knows the situation of domestic football better than the rest of the country.

The main reason Zhao Mancang signed so many football stars from Europe was that he hoped to make domestic football matches more exciting.

That's how the "catfish effect" came about.

Without better teams, it will be difficult to force progress in domestic football.

Although domestic football is still in its early stages, Zhao Mancang believes that with gradual development, there will be no problem.

"You guys go back first. I have other work to do, so I won't be going back to the mainland with you."

After saying a few words to the leaders, Zhao Mancang left Great Britain.

After leaving Great Britain, Zhao Mancang went straight to the Katanga copper mining belt in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

"What happened?"

Upon arriving in the town of Gobadolai, Zhao Mancang asked with a grim expression.

As the person in charge of the super dollar factory, Xiong Licheng immediately explained the general situation.

Since Zhao Mancang helped them relocate the Super Dollar Factory to the town of Gobadolai, everything has been peaceful.

But to my utter surprise, so little time has passed and such a major incident has occurred today.

A major war suddenly broke out in the Katanga copper mining area.

Moreover, several factions were involved.

There is no doubt that New World Security Company was also implicated.

It could even be described as being forced into a quagmire.

Zhao Mancang received an emergency call for support from Xiong Licheng and his team, which is why he suddenly headed to the town of Gobadolai.

Xie Pingzhou, Ye Weidong, O'Connor Adrian and the others are all here. Two squads of the Black Cross have already arrived.

After listening to Xiong Licheng's analysis, Zhao Mancang nodded and said:
"Since they're already so eager, let's focus on defense and see who's behind this."

There are more than twenty powerful entities of varying sizes throughout the Katanga copper mining belt.

Only six families are the most powerful among them.

Each of these six factions has more than 10,000 soldiers stationed in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Adding in the local cannon fodder and supplies, the total number of people definitely exceeds 20,000.

With 20,000 people in each family, there are always six major forces and nearly twenty minor forces, resulting in a total population exceeding 300,000 in the chaotic battle.

This is indeed very chaotic.

After learning about the situation from Xiong Licheng and the others, Zhao Mancang issued the order to defend the town of Gobadolai to the death.

He also deployed drones to conduct a thorough investigation to determine who was behind this.

Or is this merely a power reshuffling among the forces in the Katanga copper belt?

Meanwhile, in the town of Engende, several General Sam sat in the command center, using radio and satellite to learn about the situation near the town of Gobadolai.

"This super-large US dollar factory must be hidden here. Wouldn't it be simpler if we just launched missiles and wiped this place out?"

"Joseph, are you sure the information is accurate? If it was an accidental shooting, do you know if people in Washington will be so angry that they'll come all the way to Africa and strangle you?"

"To be honest, Joseph, your suggestion is far from mature, and your intelligence sources are unreliable. This town of Gobadolai is quite large, with a population exceeding 50,000. How do you plan to pinpoint the factory's exact location? Don't be so foolish."

Joseph's suggestion was immediately refuted.

So now we need to create enough chaos and send agents into the town of Gobadolai to find out what's going on inside.

Once the exact location of the super-dollar factory can be determined, missiles can be launched.

The Federal Reserve is in a panic.

For many years, the Super Dollar Factory has been producing large quantities of counterfeit US dollars.

Moreover, even if the Federal Reserve issues banknotes with new anti-counterfeiting technology, the super dollar factory will quickly produce new super dollars.

This situation infuriated the Federal Reserve so much that they wished they could strangle the head of the super dollar factory immediately.

This is absolutely outrageous.

In short, this matter must be completed, and it must be completed as soon as possible.

The Federal Reserve will not have a moment's peace unless it blows up the super-factory of US dollars and wipes it off the face of the earth.

It's not just about erasing the equipment at the super-dollar factory; all the technicians, security personnel, and others must also be eliminated.

Unfortunately, the town of Gobadolai is too big and has a large population, and it is also very strictly managed.

The moment any unfamiliar face appears, it immediately attracts questioning from local security personnel.

Outsiders have virtually no way to enter the town of Gobadolai, so they have no way of knowing the exact latitude and longitude of the super dollar factory, and therefore the missiles naturally cannot hit it accurately.

"You guys are so stubborn!"

Joseph was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Now all he could do was wait, wait for the Sam generals sitting in front of him to make a mistake. As long as they messed things up, Joseph would definitely step in to clean up the mess.

The missiles are ready and waiting for them to crash.

As time went on, the powerful mine owners in the Katanga copper belt became bloodthirsty.

The death toll has exceeded five thousand.

This internal strife has already resulted in rivers of blood.

There are no winners.

Even on New World Security Company's side, more than 500 people died.

And this happened even with Zhao Mancang personally overseeing the situation.

"It's confirmed. They've attacked our side more than twelve times recently, and the scale of these attacks far exceeds that of other forces."

Zhao Mancang stared at the satellite cloud image and said in a cold voice:
"Old Xie, O'Connor, Felix, each of you take men out and search the towns of Lucolella, Engende, Kutu, and Abala. Make sure you find the culprit."

"Yes, Boss, we guarantee to complete the mission."

After receiving their orders, Xie Pingzhou and his men turned and left the town of Gobadolai.

Based on the satellite cloud images, Zhao Mancang was indeed able to clearly see what these forces in the Katanga copper mining belt were doing.

They claim it's an internal conflict, but in reality, they're working together to attack their New World Security Company.

This kind of urban warfare, this kind of small-scale war, is indeed not suitable for using missiles.

Therefore, we can only use conventional weapons and equipment to deal with it.

New World Security Company has various emerging equipment provided by Zhao Mancang, such as relatively advanced drones, various types of small and medium-sized drones, and robots.

And various types of firearms with different firepower.

If it had been a large-scale open field battle instead of urban warfare, then New World Security Company wouldn't have suffered so many casualties.

After all, even God has to kneel before overwhelming firepower.

The current situation is relatively simple.

They held off the next wave of attacks and then waited for Xie Pingzhou and his team to report back on their attack.

"Fuck, it looks like they've sent people out. Should we evacuate to a safe place first?"

The satellite team reported the latest intelligence, saying that New World Security Company had dispatched several teams, one of which was heading straight for the town of Ingen.

Upon hearing this, Joseph immediately spoke up.

Edpayton shook his head and said:
"Joseph, you are such a coward. I don't know how you became a general."

Upon hearing this, the other general also smiled and replied:

"Even if they've already attacked us, why should we be afraid? Are our bullets rusted?"

Joseph shook his head repeatedly at their mocking laughter.
"Anyway, I'm not going to stay here and meet God with you. I'm leaving now."

Joseph left the command room directly and disappeared into the distance without looking back, as if he had made up his mind.

Ed Payton and the others looked at each other, never expecting that Joseph would be so unable to take a joke.
"Are the people at New World Security Company really that powerful?"

"I heard they were soldiers from the Black Cross, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Regardless of whether it's true or not, Joseph has already left, so let's get back quickly, otherwise it'll be really troublesome if something goes wrong."

"is that a lie?"

"I'm a little nervous, let's go."

Before they could even leave the command room, several shells rained down from the sky.

The shells landed directly on their heads, hitting them squarely.

One of the shells was a dud, but the other few exploded normally.

Edpayton watched helplessly as the command center vanished without a trace after the mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

Several colleagues who were chatting and laughing with him just a second ago are now meeting God.

Ed Payton left the command room just a few dozen seconds earlier than the command room was taken down.

Fake!

Terrified, Ed Payton fled the scene as fast as he could.

Less than three minutes after he left, Felix arrived at the scene with his team.

"Damn it, some of them escaped! Go after them!"

Felix was en route when he suddenly received a call from Zhao Mancang, who said that the satellite had locked onto the location of the enemy command post and that missiles had also locked onto it.

As a result, before they even arrived, the command center had already been flattened.

All I can say is that the technology behind Zhao Mancang is truly amazing.

Now that someone has escaped from the command post, Felix has no choice but to chase after them desperately.

Meanwhile, Joseph and Edpayton were fleeing for their lives on the road, one after the other.

Without their command, the mine owners of the Katanga copper mine were all exhausted and quickly took the opportunity to rest.

The fighting has been going on for several days, and no one has had a proper rest. It's time for us to take a break.

Zhao Mancang, however, had no intention of resting. Instead, he arranged for the New World Security Company to launch a counterattack and deploy missiles to clear away all obstacles.

After watching the security personnel leave, Zhao Mancang turned to Xiong Licheng and said:

"This incident was definitely caused by someone leaking the location of your Super Dollar Factory. I suspect it was most likely caused by a traitor."

"The town of Gobadolai is no longer safe. Once this matter has calmed down, you should evacuate. This time, you will print on the open sea."

"I will arrange stronger support for you, then you can just drift at sea."

"In the future, your Super Dollar Factory will establish branch factories in several other locations. Although this will increase the risks, it will also increase the profits, and the possibility of being wiped out in one fell swoop will be smaller."

"On the other hand, we'll need to bring out a few puppets to help fill in."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Licheng nodded with a serious expression.

He had no choice but to accept it.

Because the current situation is just that severe.

Sam's Federal Reserve has lost patience with their super-dollar factories.

In recent years, they have been relentlessly pursuing Xiong Licheng and his group, chasing after them relentlessly, wishing they could devour them alive.

That's the simple situation, and therefore Zhao Mancang's current arrangements do indeed need further adjustments.

"Boss, do you think Sierra Leone would be a more suitable place?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang pondered for a moment and said:

“It can be considered as an alternative. Although this place is also chaotic, it is even more xenophobic.”

"New Guinea is also an option, as are other places like Australia and South America."

"For the time being, you will remain at sea. I will have satellites constantly monitoring you, just in case." (End of Chapter)
